[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Estebanium:
A smartphone camera will never take good pictures in dark places even with flash,because it is a smartphone and not a camera. However I take very good pictures with Gcam at good light conditions and minor good pictures at bad light conditions. It is not the fault of the app if it takes bad pictures in different situations. At some point the magic of image processing just ends and you need actual image information to have good pixels.

I have high expectations to my smartphone camera and use a pc monitor to show my pictures, so it clearly reveals the truth of a picture. What can look good on you phone can be worse on a good monitor. So I totally recommend Gcam that is imo clearly ahead of stock camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] syednawaz:
OOh GEEZ!!!. i have to explain again.

yeah i know that the picture quality of day and night is different like day and night lol. my issue was that the flash light is not sync with camera. when you take picture with flash on. the picture is same as its like no flash light is on.... and ill not compare it to stock as stock has great quality and stability....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Estebanium:
Ah okay now I got it. Yes I noticed a similar behavior and I am not quite sure if this is a bug or a feature. I have no experience with the stock camera of LOS, because I always used to have Gcam installed.

So when I took a picture in minor good light conditions I thought that it would be a good idea to turn the flash on. Gcam didn't use the flash when it was on auto. When I took the picture I noticed that the flash came before the camera took the actual picture and I was not able to take a picture were I would say that you can see that the flash was on, on this picture.

However I took a picture today inside my bag that was completely dark. The picture was normally exposed to the flash light.

My theory is that it is not possible because of the specifications of the flash-LED or because of the App to dim the brightness of the LED and so if a reduced brightness of the flash is required, the flash is triggered before the picture is taken. GCams image processing is very good so the App tends to take pictures without flash or with a very dim flash and do the most part of exposure with HDR. That could be the reason for the delay of the flash to the image taken. Otherwise it could just be a bug :eek:

A slight delay on touch whenever i instantly close the whatsapp chat and again tap on it .It takes a fraction of delay but its ok for me ,maybe a problem for others.Other than the rom is perfect i liked the taste of it. .Was wandering why stock roms are so much popular ...:good.Thanks IVAN.

Also gallery is taking some time to show photos.Is it normal for everyone? Didnt happened to me on other roms ..

its still same :( sadly bluetooth range is so short.

when i was walking even if i turn my head, bt headphone sound stutters.

gear s3 disconnects even in 2 meters.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] I.m.Tuga:
Thanks for the reply, but i don't use auto brightness.

The problem is in manual brightness. If you use on 50% it is too dark, almost like 10/15% on lineage OS 15.1.

I can also confirm echo in call using lowdspeaker.

Video call stutter in WhatsApp.

Low Bluetooth range.

Low screen refresh rate on user interface, compared with previous version.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] rtakak:
I was curious about this ROM.

I bought Galaxy Buds yesterday. I wanted to try LOS but...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Estebanium:
First of all thank you Ivan, that you spend your free time for this project and above all that you share your project with us. This is not a matter of course! What you have to do and what you don't have to do is ultimately up to you and at least for me it's okay.

So ignore those who make demands on something they would not be able to create themselves.

I will be happy to buy you a drink virtually.

So I never thought that with HWC the smartphone could become even faster. It feels like it's underchallenged by the user's input.
It wants to make everything available now, preferably yesterday.

While in previous versions I still had the impression that in the first days the battery was just melting away, in the new version it lasts much longer.
I'm looking forward to the next days when the smartphone will be settled.

By the way, I don't use any kernel changes or the like. There is a lot here in the forum and on Magisk.

I use Magisk 19.1 and NanoDroid with the Google Play Store.

Moreover I use my Bluetooth headset every day and of course my Samsung GearS3.

By the way, I can't understand the criticism about Bluetooth here. Telephoning works wonderfully over a distance of 5 meters. I haven't tried any more, but I'm optimistic about that. I'm surprised that people are lying next to the phone. Earlier I did a test on the range of the gear. The clock holds the connection over 10 to 15 meters (there is visual contact). Between 20 and 15 meters the contact is slowly difficult.

Comparisons without visual contact are difficult, because the thickness of walls or other circumstances almost never allow a comparison to other people.

It is quite possible that I have had such good experiences because I install the official ROM every few months. I want to make sure that the modem etc. is always up to date.

I attached a picture of my test. I am approximately 15 meters away, hope you will notice the watch on the floor ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] darksx:
I can totally agree with you,phone is so much snappier,faster like a snike heh,smoother etc.,battery is wonderfull,my phone is 2 years old.we have so great developer and i will stick with this phone as long as i can.

I have the same problem, when I use hotspot to connect the phone to the navigation device of my car (Mazda CX3). It start's working, but after a while (15 /30 minutes) the connection crashes and I found like you a lot of alleged connections ( different numbers 2, 10 .. up to 32). It happens also when I use pure AOSP. It doesn't appeare when I use Black Diamond rom (Android 9.0 based on stock rom).

Nevertheles I must say it's a great rom, thanks to Ivan! I never had installing problems like other users. Everything works fine except my above described small problem.

There was an open issue of that at the Magisk repo in January. I had this problem, too. When I was on 19.0.

I can not say if it is still a problem. I used MTweaks to get these stats and BBS. Spotify was running for a long time, so maybe I will share another screenshot tomorrow.

Not a problem, fantastic ROM! BT is fine with my car, the camera is quite good for me and it's all fast and smooth. I don't use gapps, my only problem is with eBay app that doesn't work. I think it's eBay fault that doesn't connect without gapps installed.

Great job Ivan!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Estebanium:
I think that someone should open an issue with logs provided on the Magisk repo. I don't think that this is LOS 16 related, however with Magisk 19.1 MagiskHide is rewritten and so any cpu usage related thing should be resolved.

So as always don't forget to provide logs, because no cristal ball is more powerful than a good log.

Still quite good

Performance seems to be the same. Installed it today so will update soon:

1. I honestly cannot tell difference after having hwc working (I was apprehensive in moving from Oreo to pie for this reason alone but did finally make the jump before hwc was fixed in pie rom)

2. Whatsapp and FB messenger video call continues to have major lag

3. Echo/screeching noise still present irrespective of whether it is a normal call or whatsapp call

4. Bluetooth is working perfectly for me

5. Heart rate sensor being detected by shealth app but not measuring yet

6. The rom has been installed for about 6 hrs now and literally no crashes or freezes. Smooth as butter

7. Battery life is pretty good (looks like will give me at least 4.5 to 5 hrs SOT

Thanks a ton Ivan, you have breathed life to a 2 year old phone. Very happy to have moved from the irritating stock Samsung experience to LOS 16

Thank you [MENTION=4610599]Ivan_Meler[/MENTION] for continuously working hard to keep upgrading the ROMs. I used to be Lineage user untill the WhatsApp video lag issue and mic related issues showed up. I had to switch back to TW based ROM. Every time you upgrade the ROM, I try to make the switch again.

I can confirm it, the same as [MENTION=9899304]ritzerten[/MENTION] mentioned above in points 2 & 3 - these bugs still exist in the latest ROM. Once these two are resolved, I will switch to Lineage immediately.

Getting point 5 mentioned above resolved will make it THE PERFECT ROM :)

I will wait for your next update :)

It's very simple at the end.first you need Twrp recovery(probably you already have it),then download Rom,Gapps(if you need them),root addon(if you need it).First you need to do a full wipe,then first flash rom ,then gapps and at the end root solution(maybe you want magisk),reboot to a fresh system.good luck my friend

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

So found kind of a solution to the Whatsapp video call lag:

add the following in build.prop:

vendor.camera.hal1.packagelist=com.whastapp

This works but (alas there is a but), I am unable to change camera to rear, end call without using force close app option. If somebody knows a way around this it would be super helpful. Until then will keep googling for a solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] I.m.Tuga:
As far as I could read, it's a spreaded issue plaguing some devices when using video calls on WhatsApp and Instagram camera and some of fixes are buildprop file changes.

Are these Hal changes related to camera2 API?

Somehow my phone got settled and I get medium battery life. I had the problem that it seemed like Magisk Hide burned my battery, but I had no evidence of it. When I updated Magisk from 19.1 to 19.2 all my modules were reset. That was awful, because I use NanoDroid and that is installed systemlessly. So I needed some time to fix this mess, but now I am happy.

I have no idea of what is different now and how others could fix their problem. I only recommend to disable Magisk Hide and remove all hidden Apps before updating.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] vaibhavnegi:
Your screenshot tells there's a serious flaw with the kernel. The kernel overuse 728mhz frequency instead of using all the frequencies available in the spectrum. The developer should look into this if he cares about performance in LOS otherwise the experience will always be laggy.

Sorry this post is not related to your problem but i somehow gotta mention it!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ivan_Meler:
Instead of posting this if you bothered to look just a few pages back and reading you would know magisk is causing this (Not only on s7 either new versions of magisk are seriously broken on a lot of devices) and not the rom or kernel but i guess reading might be too hard for some people and they would rather post bs and misslead people into their bs

Bug Confirmation

I am also having issues with speakerphone causing an echo during calls. This happens in all calling apps I've used, including the built in one.

Another problem i'm having is with the camera's. The Google Camera app crashes when I attempt to use the selfie camera, and other apps have other random quirks as well.

- Facebook Messenger appears to take the picture than waits 4-5 seconds than it takes a 2nd picture So if you move after the first one, the it will take a random picture of you moving the camera.

- Built in camera (when using flash) turns the LED on for 4-5 seconds, turns off the LED, than takes the picture

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Estebanium:
Ivan's ROM isn't officially supported by LineageOS as some requirements are missing before it could be connected to their hub. So you would need to flash the ROM manually in order to get the latest updates or install a Los that is supported (I guess it is 14).

I noticed a lot of log spam by wpa_supplicant :

Could not read interface p2p-dev-wlan0 flags: No such device

There a a lot of reports on Google with different kinds of Linux distributions.

Anyone else with this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] FoxhoundUnit:
I understand now thank you for informing me. I was confused between actual Los ROMs and this one. If I saw right the Los deleted S7 Edge from their list of supported phones, Sadly. I will use Ivan's rom until I possibly find a more up-to-date version. Or I will just simply stick to this one as i didn't notice a major lag or error (yet). only thing i noticed is that my phone overheats while gaming more quicker than previous 8.0 rom which results in battery draining (I'm trying to find out the reason)
