[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] richard9601:
I dont know if they are stable or not, because I never tried cause as u know these devices are not supporting it. Btw this support is good because there are Google's rom like current android Q betas, but as u said it's not device specific, but for tryining new builds such that, would be awesome, especially when u know Samsung's update schedule. But u completely right, It wouldn't make much sense for a user who has s7 edge as daily device, but I switched to s10 plus, so right now I'm using it as secondary device and if these are unstable or anything wouldn't bother me, because it would be like experimental etc, and I'm sure I'm not the only one with this opinion. Btw as I know when there are new android versions, they are completely different coded, so maybe it would be big help also for the next Android version to get on s7 edge earlier. For experiments it would be really good :)

The decision to make it official does not lie in the hands of the maintainer, but the actual development team.

Are there any news related to wakelocks and wifi? Some foreign wifis cause a lot of wakelocks and so a battery drain of up to 3 %/h. This happens if I am not connected to wifi, but left it on in settings. Turning wifi off fixes wakelocks and battery drain. This is really annoying. If I can provide more information feel free to ask.

Feedback

Some feedback from me after using the ROM for 2 weeks.

I appreciate the upgrade to Android 9 Pie stock, the significantly increased battery life and the reduced storage usage.

On the down side, I experienced two random reboots: one after plugging the charger, another one when using the stock camera app.

Some apps (like the camera app) also tend to crash quite often.

The camera quality is a bit inferior with respect to the samsung app, although the difference is not huge.

Gcam (installed from the play store) works with the rear cam but crashes when trying to use the front cam.

The problem I have is that I cannot completely zoom out.

Any idea why this is happening?

1. The op doesn't specify if encryption is working or not ... is it :) ? (in the S9 thread, there's an explicit mention)

2. Is there any way to encrypt the external sd with file based encryption (i.e. not use adoptable storage)?

Edit: 3. The option to change screen resolution (i.e. not just dpi) like one stock rom is lost with Lineage, correct?

Thanks!

Updating build and WiFi issue

To update between builds, do I just download the new .zip and dirty flash in recovery without wiping anything or modifying the contents of the zip file?

Also everything seems to work fine, but while I have my phone connected to my home WiFi, it randomly drops the network and says no networks available (like once every hour or so). I have to turn off WiFi in settings and turn it back on so it sees the network again and automatically reconnects. Any ideas to why that is or anyone with the same issue?

Thanks in advance!!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] TEKWREK:
Alright thanks!!! Hopefully the WiFi thing goes away with simply flashing the new build. :fingers-crossed:

i remember I had the same problem but now I can't confirm as I am not using los16 cuz I'm waiting for next release :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bgsdeluxe:
I don't know why, but everytime I update between builds I also flash latest Gapps package. After flashing I'm deleting Cache and Dalvik, maybe just because I'm used to it from ages ago when I installed Cyanogenmod for the first time. :)

I also realized a few bugs, but not from latest update, but the one before.

In my case I also have Wifi loss from time to time, but disabling/re-enabling always works. But I also have wifi issues the opposite way. When wifi is turned off, it is self-enabling after a while. Not sure if I forgot to turn off google maps and geo locating in that case- to me this would be the only reason for this behaviour.

Beside that I have issues with the default music player widget, since a few updates. Everytime music is paused or stopped I am not able to restart playback with the widget. Play button seems to have no effect. I am forced to open the app itself to start my music.

And finally an ongoing issue for quite a while now: The digital clock widget or cLock is being displayed, but invisible. I can tab and open my alarm clock etc. As soon as I switch the layout to analogue the magic happens and the analogue clock appears.

In the past I realized issues with screen sharing/miracast, but I am not sure if it was only me or if others also had these problems. The connection got lost every few seconds.

Apart from these little bugs I really love this ROM and can not thank Ivan enough for his effort! :highfive:

Btw., Ivan: Did you manage the screen replacement by yourself? Did you replace the whole LCD or just the glass? And if only the glass...HOW?? :eek:

(My first post, hopefully I am doing this properly :fingers-crossed: )

Hi,

Sorry if this has already been asked or if I have missed it in the thread.

It has been awhile since I have installed a ROM and was wondering if there are install instructions posted or if my memory serves me correctly...

Boot into recovery, wipe, install lineage-16.0-*.zip, install gapps, reboot...?

Many thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] richard9601:
Yep , that's all.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bgsdeluxe:
Nope, it's not! Make sure to have downloaded everything you need before starting. Copy all files to external SD (if available).

I assume you need to install proper recovery before. Download TWRP recovery here (*.img): https://dl.twrp.me/hero2lte/

Then download Odin: https://samsungodin.com/

Now download the ROM: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1L5_2mlhHvEfephVcGcrlxa64RrL8m-nL

And Google Apps (Arm64, v9.0, pico, nano or micro): https://opengapps.org/?api=9.0&variant=pico&arch=arm64

Root: https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/su/20190304/addonsu-16.0-arm64-signed.zip

Got everything? Then let's get started! Be aware that during this process all files, including photos, messages, EVERYTHING! will be deleted! Make sure to have a backup if you want to keep any of them.

Follow the instruction to flash TWRP recovery: https://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-using-odin/

After flashing recovery you have to boot into recovery immediately. Go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Check all boxes except SD card. Swipe to confirm wipe.

After this is done go to TWRP main menu again. Install -> select ROM on SD card (external storage folder, maybe you need to go a folder up). Swipe to confirm.

After success go to Install -> select gapps package and swipe to confirm.

And for the root you have to do the same again. After last flashing process confirm that you want to delete Cache/Dalvik. When finished reboot phone and enjoy IVANs work!

Make sure to hit "Thanks" if this helped you in any way. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] richard9601:
Lol sorry, yep u right, these are the correct steps to install it , but in fact he just asked the general facts about wiping, installing etc I assumed that he knows already it requires custom recovery etc.

Haha thanks [MENTION=5139854]bgsdeluxe[/MENTION] and [MENTION=8723252]richard9601[/MENTION] I do have TWRP installed but I may just double check I've got the latest versions and refresh my memory.

Trying it

I have a few questions,

1.) I`m gonna be coming from teamexykings v12 with morokernel, my device is sm935FD. Im new to the flashing process can I just simply flash this? without compatibility issues?

2.) I have a lot of app data stored in my samsung cloud like messages, notes, and contacts etc. Is there anyway I can migrate them easily?

3.) Migrating to lineage os from a samsung build, what are the features that I`ll gain and lose?

TIA
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bgsdeluxe:
Hi there,

I'm trying to answer your questions, but am sure the dev and others could add some more useful information here.

I'm assuming you already have a custom recovery installed, such as TWRP. Make sure to have it updated to the latest build: https://dl.twrp.me/hero2lte/

If I would be in your situation I would always go back to stock ROM before switching to another custom ROM. Maybe others would tell contrary, let's wait for some more replies on this.

In case they agree you would need ODIN to flash stock ROM, but I think you already got that. Then get the stock firmware for your region and carrier from Sammobile: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/recent/

After that you should be fine to give this ROM a try.

If it is already in the cloud, you should be able to sync the data as soon as you re-installed the apps. As far as I know the samsung software will do this for you and install all apps that have been installed with latest sync, including the data. Otherwise think about activating sync feature in the apps in which you have important data. If there is no such feature go to settings -> Google -> Backup -> Apps and activate sync and auto restore there.

This is also a topic that I am not able to answer all alone. Hopefully others are giving input, too.

To my acknowledge you can replace missing features with certain apps. For example the Samsung AlwaysOn display feature, which is not present in Lineage OS.

The rest should be similar and even better, due to regular updated system and security improvements. Thanks to Ivan. ;)

Nevertheless there are still some minor bugs being reported, such as dropping wireless connections or unstable audio while in calls. Not sure if this is still a thing.

Others mentioned missing hardware composer. Don't know what it is, so I can't comment on that one.

This ROM is my daily driver for quite a looong time now, so be assured that none of these bugs ever made me think of switching back to custom or other ROM. Beside that the dev mentioned a big surprise for a lot of people with upcoming update. Maybe some of the bugs will be fixed.

Now it's is up to the others to give some more details.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] gaming.batsy:
2) You can't restore the backup you have in Samsung cloud to lineage os. You have other apps like SMS backup and restore which will backup your message in your external storage or gdrive (your choice) and you have to copy all your notes in google keep so that it stays in cloud.

3) You will not get the samsung camera and other features like edge pannel, game launcher, game tools, swipe to call and message and any other features which are only pinned with samsung phones like galaxy store and themes, samsung music
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Sniff_patrol:
thanks

Hey thanks for replying. I think I`m gonna hold off for now not having AOD is kind of a bummer for me, Im still doing research on what features im gonna lose besides samsung related apps, again thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] richard9601:
Actually there is a way to enable it. Follow the steps, it will works on pie also https://www.google.com/amp/s/xdafor...mbient-display-android-8-1-roms-t3751144/amp/

Ps build it and refresh it in substratum, then reboot your phone and then enable it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] StrayHeart:
USB mass storage is working instable on this rom. I try bliion times to make it work. What I do is:

- I change cables

- I enable/disable usb debugging

- I change from MTP to PTP to charging only

- I change ports on my laptop

- I try different cables

Still can't get it to work correctly. Once every 30-40 tries I can access the internal and SD storage.

When I flash Lineage 14 based off Nougat 7.1.2, mass storage works like a charm on the same laptop, so it's not laptop's fault.

Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bgsdeluxe:
No issues for me. I would recommand uninstalling Samsung drivers on your laptop/PC and re-connect again.

If this is not working disconnect cable and go to device manager (on PC) and enable display of hidden drivers (those should appear as grey objects). Go to USB controller and delete all objects according to Samsung. When you are sure you have no Samsung harddrive installed you can also go to drives and take a look if anything with Samsung in it is showing up here as well.

You did a clean install coming from another ROM or just dirty flashed?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] parrenin:
You gain:

- Android 9 Pie

- Stock version of Android without the Samsung bloat

- Android stock apps, such as email, contacts, calendar, browser, etc.

- Monthly security updates

- far better battery life

- far smaller disk footprint

- slightly better perf

You loose:

- Official android, so some apps are not available on the play store (you can still install them with aurora store) and some other complain you have a custom ROM

- Over The Air (OTA) updates, but Samsung almost does not provide updates for this phone anyway

- The Samsung theme and apps, if you like them

- The Samsung camera app is slightly better optimized in some circumstances, although I obtain generally good results with OpenCamera

- Always On Display

- I do experience some random reboots either when using the camera, or when plugging the charger, something like once in a week.

The phone would freeze for a few seconds and then reboot.

So personally, I lost a bit of stability, although I am not sure my case can be generalized to all users of this ROM.

Thanks for the reply, I think I`m gonna hold off for now. It says its stable but a lot of people are actually reporting different bugs every now and then, like random reboots, apps not working, buttons not working, which is kind of discouraging for me, again thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] ritzerten:
You have to edit system file to ensure capacitive button doesnt restart even though nav bar is on:

1. Open file explorer like ES file explorer and enable root access for it

2. Go to Device ---> System----> usr---->Keylayout and open Generic.Kl file using ES note editor

3. Enter edit mode and add # before the following line ----> Key 139 MENU, Key 158 BACK, Key 580 App_Switch (Eg.. # Key 139 MENU)

4. Save and exit the file

5. Now there is another file in Keylayout folder and I am forgetting the name of the file (have had to switch back to stock for using Whatsapp video call and Intune Company Portal) which has virtual back and menu commands. Add # before these lines too. There are like very few lines in this file

6. Save and exit

7. Reboot the system and you will have only navigation bar with back and recent capacitive buttons completely disabled (home continues to work)

In case you want the capacitive button functionality back, just remove the hashtags you have added and they will work again
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Marsu42:
Tbh, you loose all but the basic video capability - it's only 1080p@30fps oor 720p@60fps. Everything else like 4k and 120fps is gone, no matter what apps or Magisk modules you use (well, everything I tried and researched).

For me personally, photo camera functionality is ok but not 100% stable either - somtimes autofocus freezes or the app crashes esp. on HDR (using OpenCamera or GCam v4.9 port). This is just fine, but I wouldn't want to rely on it on important occations.

The Lineage ROM is totally absolutely awsome, but I'm puzzled why the video specs aren't specified in "Not working" in the edge and vanilla s7 #1 posts.

Has anyone experienced any soft reboots on low storage space for internal storage?

Any time storage dips below 780MB the phone locks up and goes through a soft reboot.

/data/system/dropbox shows about 10 system_wtf.lost entries but they're all zero bytes. I'll check dmesg but was wondering if this is an isolated issue.

ROM is stable when storage space is kept above the threshold, though
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] NHJ1981:
I have experienced exactly the same thing, i was checking for updates on the playstore, i was down to 0.89G of storage, once i triggered the updates the phone went into a reboot loop.

It would load to the point the phone would get carrier and wifi connectivity then a second or so later reboot.

I of course copied my music, pics etc to my computer and was ready to do a reset in TWRP when i thought it might be SD card corruption.

Rebooted the phone without sim and SD card and voilà, the extra cleared up space solved the reboot issue.

Hello, I would like to quickly address the annoying topic with the echo in hands-free mode again.

The Galaxy S7 has two microphones.

One on the top and one on the bottom next to the speaker which logically produces the echoes.

Isn't it possible to program the hands-free mode to use the upper microphone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bgsdeluxe:
Some releases ago the echo issue was still ongoing. I only realized this when friends of mine were complaining about an echo while being on a call with me. Surprisingly to me it only was an issue when I was using a headset. After unplugging the headset everything was fine. My conclusion was that there were problems adressing the correct mic/enabling or disabling mic while headset is plugged in.

Beside that I never had echo issues, but I am also not the hardcore telephoner.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Vlad9091:
Why I switched back to Samsung Original Rom.

Pro:

very light storage use by the OS.

incredibly fast.

Games work better here.

Stock experience of the Android OS.

A lot of customization.

Cons.

The camera was the biggest letdown for me. You lose

Any 60 fps and slow motion capabilities. I tried installing a new camera app but it kept crashing and very basic.

Snapchat and instagram don't work too good in this rom. I mean,chatting was ok,but video recording and taking photos would last 15 seconds to save. (Also very choppy experience when zooming.

Was it a traditional bootloop, or something else?

I recently experienced reboot loops some secs after the lockscreen came up. It started after taking lots of photos i.e. low internal storage - but I blamed Magisk as I use a lot of modules including Xposed.

The cam app problem is about to be fixed or the missing features high-res and high-fps vids?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] NHJ1981:
Indeed it was, exactly the same thing you experienced.

I'd also like to add that usb connectivity(other than charge) doesn't work when free space is too low, it always results in an exclamation mark in device manager and no notification on the device to toggle mode(i even forced file transfer in developper's options), i guess proper usb device descriptors aren't sent on low space.

TWRP to the rescue...
