You can set display to switch on when power source has been connected.

I would like to know if anyone else if having issues using the system widget 'digital clock'. When selecting the digital clock the widget is invisible (means it is there, I can resize it, it blocks space on screen). When selecting the analog clock all is working fine.

I did a clean install a while ago and am having issues since then. None of the released updates fixed my issue. Currently I'm thinking about a system wipe and another clean install with latest version, but would be interested to know if anyone else ever had a behavior like that.

Thanks to Ivan for his great work! Really love this ROM.

Hi :)

I have stock S7 Edge.

Can anyone give me full guide to update my phone on LineageOS ? (getting root permission, install twrp and so on).

I will be very grateful for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] maztur:
Do it at your own risk!

1. Remove all security (pattern/pin/fingerprint)

2. Developer option > enable OEM unlock

3. Download latest TWRP tar file for S7 edge (http://dl.twrp.me/hero2lte)

4. Power off your device

5. Power on your device into download mode (power+volume down+home button)

6. Enter download mode (i forgot is it vol up or vol down)

7. Download latest Odin3 and open it. Connect your phone to your pc (i recommend to use the original cable from the box)

8. Make sure your phone detected by Odin3 (blue bar below ID:COM). If not, download and install samsung/android driver

9. Once it detected by Odin3, go to option and uncheck auto reboot. Click on AP button and select your TWRP file

10. Click start button

11. After it's completed, press power+volume up+home button to enter TWRP

12. Swipe to modify, click wipe, factory reset, type yes, swipe to factory reset

13. Download the ROM you want to install, gapps (if you need it), magisk (also optional), copy it to your phone

14. Click on screen home button, click install, select your ROM, swipe to install

15. Go back, select gapps, swipe to install

16. (Optional) Go back, select magisk, swipe to install

17. Go back, wipe > advance wipe and select cache and dalvik cache

18. Go back again, reboot > system. If there's a prompt to install TWRP app click do not install

19. You're welcome. First boot usually take some time so be patient

CMIIW. Let me know if i missed some steps. I'm also new at this stuff

9. It should be AP, not BL: https://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-using-odin/

17. After flash wipe cache/dalvik, then go back and restart > system

That's how I am doing it. Correct me if wrong, please.

a question, after installing this ROM, to update the later versions do I need to repeat the installation with the wipes? or it is installed above all. Thx
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bgsdeluxe:
After first clean install you can install the updates 'over' the current installation. No need to wipe data again. Nevertheless, after each update I'm installing latest Gapps package and then doing a cache/dalvik wipe before restarting system. But am pretty sure this isn't really necessary.

Tested the ROM on my work phone, pretty stable, definitely smoother and better battery than on my old Oreo install, though I'm noticing a significant decrease in effective Bluetooth range and can't figure out how to reliably control multiple connected Bluetooth headphones.

Also is a pity that black amoled theming doesn't seem to work.

If anyone is interested in using the Samsung Wearable App on LOS 16, I made a good progress. My goal was to use my Gear without modifying build.props or changing code of Samsung Apps.

I was able to connect my Gear within the normal installation process, without modifying ro.product.manufacturer etc.

1. Installed Samsung Accessories

2. Installed Gear S Plugin

3. Used AppOps to grant all permission. The most important permission is installing packages.

4. Used App Systemizer (Magisk Module) to systemize Apps from 1&2 to app-priv

5. Rebooted

6. Installed Samsung Wearable

7. Granted all permission via AppOps. Most importantly 'can install packages'

8. Systemized App from 7

9. Rebooted

10. Checked all Apps from 1&2&6 with AppOps

11. Launch Samsung Wearable for the first time.

12. Chose my Gear S3 and connected it in the next menu

13. Gear resets itself

14. Crash

15. Install Call Provider failed

I then needed to install the App Call Provider, but I was not able to do it. Normally you would only need to install Samsung Wearable and the App would download the App from 1&2 and I guess from 15, too.

I am not sure if it is needed to systemize the Apps, because all required permissions are already granted. I did it, because I wanted to make sure that this is not a problem.

Moreover it seems like AppOps alters the same files as the Permission Management in the Trust center, so it is very likely that you could do the magic there.

The 'can install packages' permission is needed to avoid the message that your ROM is changed in an not authorized way.

I attached the log of the progress and I hope someone can bring it a bit further. Blink Blink Blink [MENTION=4610599]Ivan_Meler[/MENTION] [MENTION=9350973]All[/MENTION]

it has no random reboots some people manage to mess up the system and decide to blame a rom without posting a log and when i ask for log they either never send it, dont bother taking it correctly or are too paranoid to share it and most likely have some system mods causing it

Besides my red screen problem,

I had to use odin v3.16 and old twrp version twrp-3.1.1-0-hero2lte.img.tar because of een red screen after booting with the newest odin and twrp.

After installing this old twrp, I could install, within twrp, the new image twrp-3.2.3-0-hero2lte.img, which I put already put on the sd card.

Great ROM!

It is possible to emulate a NFC card with a fixed UID? The stock S7 Edge ROM generates a new one each time I emulate a card, which makes this feature quite useless when using it with systems which identify cards by their UIDs.

I've read on StackOverflow that some phones like the Nexus (and probably some others) have a file called "libnfc-brcm-20791b05.conf" or similar, which hold a key called "NFA_DM_START_UP_CFG", which holds the UID that should be used when initializing the NFC interface. Since I can't find this file (or a similar one) on the stock ROM (rooted), I believe that I'm out of luck on the stock ROM, but I'm having hope in LineageOS.

Is there a way to set a NFC UID on this ROM? It would be incredibly useful!

Is anyone else here that has issues with the App Root Explorer and SD cards? I am not able to copy to SD card from internal storage. It starts the copy/move process but ends in an error message that it can not perform the action. Then you find one copied file on the SD card with 0 kb. I didn't notice something similar on LOS 15.1

Copying stuff to ext sd on Oreo roms works flawlessly. The problem started on pie roms. The trick is, copy the desired stuff from int sd to ext sd, go to settings, storage, click the ext sd eject icon & then click mount. After that the copied file on ext sd card is no more corrupted (worked here). Let's hope this can be fixed. Certainly isn't one of Ivan's priority (probably it won't be fixed on near future).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Estebanium:
Do I need to do that for every copy process? Moreover I noticed that Root Explorer at least returns a message that the action was not successful. Solid Explorer for instance makes the user believe that the process was successful. This is very dangerous if you do your backup for a full wipe.

But wait, so if I copied a lot of files to ext sd that are showing 0 kb, they however were copied successfully? What if I perform a full wipe, will I have my files on ext sd then or are there only 0er-files?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] mauam:
Yes, you need to do that for every copy process & you can only copy one file (or app or zip) at a time. I use root explorer too. Don't know what a full wipe is, but if you mean a rom full wipe or a rom update or a clean flash, then your copied stuff to the ext sd will be intact, no worries.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Estebanium:
A full wipe is wiping system, data, dalvik, everything.

One file at a time? Damn! I would like to use the shipped file explorer of Los where copying/moving files works. The only annoying thing is, that it handles already existing files/folders very badly. Instead of asking to migrate data it just renames files/folders to (2)/(3)/(4) etc.

Okay pretty off topic and I guess Ivan can not fix, but good to know that there are others with the same problem.

Hi, don't know if this is already answered or not, but i have an issue with sd card, every time i restart my phone, files in my sd card is not seen in music or gallery, it just says no music or no files, any permanent fix to this? Thanks

I copy from cloud to internal to external and I use Solid Explorer.

Never had an issue with 0-byte files or lost a file.

Alway using my SD as backup for several files copied from internal.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Estebanium:
I finally found a fix when I googled this issue. I found a Magisk Module that mounts the SD Card read and writeable at a specific path. I wondered if this path already exists, without using the module and I found it:

/mnt/media_rw/SDCARDNUMBER/

So without any Magisk module or altering system files, this path was already there for the whole time. Copying and moving files works flawless with this path and in root explorer you can also set this path (e. g. my path is /mnt/media_rw/E578-CDC2) as default path for sd card tab.

This is the link that brought me to the idea:

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/m...ss-enabler-t3670428/post73727554#post73727554

To be clear I didn't alter any files I just searched the path and found it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] mauam:
Can you explain how to do that. I already changed the ext sd path in root explorer preferences but when add a new ext sd tab shows me the same default. Yes, I saw that magisk module too but gave me a bootloop. XDA is all f*ckup today, can't even attach images.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Estebanium:
Ah I see what you mean didn't realized that ext. path is not working as expected. Didn't realize it, because I never close tabs. Only workaround is to navigate to mnt manually, but this is a lot better than not using root explorer..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] mauam:
Still don't understand what you're saying, I don't close tabs too (don't know also what that really means). It simply doesn't work for me nor how to navigate to mnt. I'll stick whit the trick I mentioned before & that one day Ivan can solve that.

Edited: I get it now, yep the workaround works but still meh...

P.S. and xda still f*cked up today.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Estebanium:
If you want to use your SD Card in the phone as before under Oreo or whatever, without the need to copy only one file or doing the unmount stuff you have described, I have found an alternative.

Speaking of tabs, create a new root tab, so path is "/"

At the root folder scroll down until you find a folder named "mnt". Click on that folder.

In the "mnt" folder look for the folder "media_rw" and open it.

The folder "media_rw" should contain a folder like this: E578-CDC2

This is your SD Card, so if you open that folder you should see the content of your ext. card. If you copy to or move to this folder any files folders from internal storage, it should work. It should write files with actual kb's.

Unfortunately if you copy this path to the sd to the settings as path to external sd, you are not able to open that path (/mnt/media_rw/etc) as a new SD tab. It will open the default storage path (for me /storage/E578-CDC2) as sd card tab, where I have no write permission..

I hope it is clearer than

right now im in proces of figuring out changes they have made on gralloc and libexynosdisplay (These changes are responsible for hwc) which is great but still requres me to reverse engineer them and compare them to source I have from 8890 bsp, Other than that there were few other changes i made before this all happened which are general performance and stability improvements, I will probably post builds with updated blobs and working hwc pretty soon (Ill also have to figure situation with build server host because ill have to change it, they didnt really like load android builds put on their server when running) Also i would like to thank everyone who donated in past as it helps me cover server costs and sometimes get me a coffee which in return fixes bugs haha Anyway expect big updates ahead

Many thanks for adding in the aptx codec, but unless my phone is literally within line of sight of my headphones - i.e. when I'm walking around with it in my pocket - it drops connection intermittently.
