A note to remember, wiping storages such as Internal and SD are only optional and to add to the 'cleanliness', it's never compulsory.

You only ever need to wipe Dalvik, System, Data and Cache to achieve a standard clean flash. No need to move important work documents around!

Hi, I have a couple of bt earbuds (Havit G1) which plays music just fine but call audio is cracking/making just some random noise. When I search in this and LineageOS 15 forum, it seems that bt calls are working for some people. Am I just unlucky with my headset or am I missing some audio tweak/drivers for bt calls? Could different CSC affect bt audio for example?

I would be very happy for some advice.

Thanks in advance

some time ago there was this issue on another device with lineageos, it was caused by magisk or supersu, i don't know anymore exactly which of those. maybe you are using one of these? you can try switching to the other and see if it persists.

i don't have this rom installed, it's only a remembering and possible point.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] benjieg:

What's the camera quality like compared to stock? as far as I understand any stock camera software is proprietary so flashing custom roms you lose on on quality or features. The S7 has a very good camera and the Samsung Software does probably some of the magic.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] johopki:
I just installed last night and have had no issues so far. Ironically the camera is listed as partially working but works better than it did on the unofficial 15.1 build (which shows the camera as fully functional) .

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] difto:
Depends, in low light it's very low compared to stock. People say that using Footej or Gcam gives a quality similar to stock but I tried Footej and Google camera (modified version) on the stock rom in a dark room.

Both take horrible pictures, full of grain and when I say full of grain is that you almost see nothing else with no post processing at all and dark (maybe the default settings are especially bad?). Same picture with Samsung camera is much brighter with no grain. So yeah, if camera is important to you and you don't want to manually reprocess each picture, stay with Touchwiz like I do.

I really like Lineage and used it extensively on my Sony but on this phone, you trade the main strenght of the phone to have the latest and most debloated OS.

PS: In day light pictures are good

Good to hear. :)

Can´t help you with your Homepage, sorry.

I still use one Page for my most frequented Apps, what works fine for me.

Netflix is blocked for rooted Phones. Search for "Netflix apk" and install it manually.

If you are using Magisk you can hide root for Apps with Magisk Manager (if Netflix is not working).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Cypc:
WTF, since when are devs allowed to dictate what we do with our hardware?

Looked for the apk, got one, installed, works as intended, many thanks for the tip! (Now I'm even more pissed at Netflix seeing how easy it was to get over this crap ...)

Maybe someone else knows the trick for the homepage, or maybe it's not implemented (yet? :fingers-crossed: )

Other than that, very neat ROM, big thank you for getting that up! I haven't tested everything I use yet but almost, and it all works like a charm (some apps are even faster!).

Running 16.0 for the last couple of days and everything works fine bar one. Somewhere along the way I lost 'OEM unlock' from develepor options because I have lost root. I had flashed TWRP and run one other rom previously and, apart from the fact that rom was not very good, the oem option was working. I know there is a KG/RMM State Bypass v3 zip so I am waiting a week to give that a try. This was informative -https://www.the***********.com/prenormal-rmm-state-on-samsung-galaxy-guide/

It's possible I enabled the Magisk option somewhere in the flashing process. Is it possible a second rooting app choice screwed things? Or maybe getting the Samsung security update?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] nemolivier:
As usual : Google will sync installed apps, par of your data and settings. Other way is to use something like titanium backup.

I don't use titanium backup anyway since years, and everything run great.

But you do need to wipe everything but SD and internal storage when jumping from Lineageos 15 to16.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sooperior:
Not in an easy/safe way. You can however flash apps to system so they will not use /data space

Hi Devs,

Unfortunately Messenger Facebook and Instagram are lagging when I lunch the camera.

Also, please make a stable Gcam version for this OS, or at least make an improvement in the default camera app.

Last but not least, please make a maintenance app for this OS in order to reduce lag as much as possible.

Thank you and keep up the good work ✌️
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] downhere:
Regarding camera lag... just read one page back...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] MNNR:
Thank you for replying:) , By "not safe" do you mean that the storage could get corrupted even if I do it right ,Or only because it's hard and I could make a mistake? And tell me about installing apps into the system partition, what's the best or easiest way to do it?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sooperior:
It is possible that storage gets corrupted... but very unlikely. The most common problem is that the app doesn't get properly installed and you get force closes or bootloops, but they can be solved by getting to recovery and removing files from that application.

If you want to flash a google app: Use opengapps (or similar) and configure open-gapps_config.txt (you need to go to their website for instructions). Opengapps it's smart and will remove that app from /data if installed and is a lower version.

If you want to flash another app: Google for "universal flashable zip" or similar. It's a zip template where you add an apk, go to recovery, flash it and it gets installed to system (but I'm afraid it will not remove that app from /data, as opengapps do).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tyl:
I had this problem until I flashed latest version of twrp then it installed with root:

https://dl.twrp.me/herolte/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] MNNR:
The universal flashable zip method sounds easy, but I'm not sure I understand the part where you said it doesn't remove the app from /data , by that, do you mean that the apk file gets installed to the system but its data gets saved on the /data folder? Or something else?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sooperior:
Apks can be installed:

on /data/whatever/name.apk

on /system/whatever/name.apk

When you update, they are not replaced on system, but a new copy is made on data, something like:

/system/whatever/name_v1.apk

/data/whatever/name_v2.apk

name_v1 is ignored and v2 is executed.

If you flash an opengapp, it will do something like

create /system/whatever/name_v2.apk

remove /data/whatever/name_v2.apk

With universal flashable zips, I believe they don't remove data, so you'll end up with something like

/system/whatever/name_v2.apk

/data/whatever/name_v2.apk

And this... I don't know the consequences. But you can always remove /data/whatever/name_v2.apk from recovery file manager (I guess you have TWRP)

Anyway I'm not an expert on this, just my personal experience. There is also an app called link2sd (and some others) that are able to move /data apps to /system apps while running android. Easier but you can get system hangs, specially if you try to move something like play store.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] johnyysmith:
Thks Tyl - but that was the version of twrp that I flashed and then lost. I'm less than 2 days of end of oem lockout now so I shall wait a bit to try other options. Did you flash twrp before the 168 hours elapsed? I mention 168 hours due to the RMM/KG problem here:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tyl:
That topic suggests the lockout only applies to devices released 2017+, right? S7 was 2016 I think.

But if the lockout somehow affected the s7, I wasn't aware. And don't recall how long it took to recover root; don't think it was long though.

I think at the time I tried stock firmware and lost root. I couldn't get it back until I used odin to flash latest twrp recovery and used that to install latest los16 and I may have used twrp to flash magisk too, can't remember. Everything had been fine since.

Sorry I can't suggest anything else than that ^

Thanks for the tipp ;) but "Advanced Charging Controller (acc)" sadly only works for the first one or two charging cycles. It is charging to 80% for the first cycle and then after that it stops at 70% for the rest of the cycles after the first (like the app "Battery Charge Limit"). After a reboot it works again for one or two charging cycles before it breaks again.

Do you use any special setup/setting [MENTION=4593044]0x000eHx[/MENTION] ?

Well here are some unfortunate news, next update will be delied a bit due to screen on my s7 deciding to have whats refered to as flicker issue, As its not my main device im not in a rush to get new panel right away (Amoled panels still holed the price espeically edge ones), Ill probably end up ordering a new panel pretty soon tho (Also unsure about shipping time, will see how long that will take once i decide where to get the panel from)

As a quick progress update, i started working on a new cmaera hal that will improve image and video quality, solve flash issues and also solve lag in some apps which used camera (Facebook, whatsapp and instagram come to mind, other apps might have been affected too like snapchat), But as of right now that is paused until i can replace the panel on device, Sorry for any inconvenience

Notifications stopped working

Hi guys,

As others (here) I'm facing the notification issue. :(

For the first few days all was working flawlessly and now I can't get vibration or notification light to work. Unlike previous users, a reboot doesn't solve my issue.

I tried enabling/disabling notification light, vibration, battery optimisation, wake screen on notification... :rolleyes:

I had this issue on RR Rom before and I switched to LOS as I was really feed up by this issue. I though RR builds had some issue, but it's actually this exact same story woth LOS. Please note phone calls are working.

Would you have any idea of what to do? :)

Here is the logcat and last_kmsg for my issue.

During the logcat I locked my S7, then a friend sent me a message on Facebook (I use Facebook Messenger Lite app). The phone didn't vibrate nor turn on notification light. I unlocked my phone, the notification was shown on the lockscreen. Then I stopped the logcat.

This issue is very annoying because I have to check messages manually all day long and that drains a lot of battery. You did a great job improving battery life, I was impressed so far. I hope I will enjoy again the 2 days of battery life on my 3 years old phone! :laugh: :highfive:

For those wanting to use this specific rom with microG you need to enable 'signature spoofing' which Lineage OS will not implement.

microG will probably release their own fork of LineageOS with spoofing but it doesn't have the tweaks our man Ivan has worked out (ie. sound bugs, restart), I think they are building straight from Lineage sourse with Ivans Kernel

so I just grab Ivans version and implement spoofing via a patch, few methods here: https://shadow53.com/android/no-gapps/setup-guide/microg/ but easiest is flash a zip in twrp

download the nanodroid zip ( https://github.com/Nanolx/NanoDroid ) Just get the small patcher not the other bloated installs with f-droid etc (gave some errorsx5 but worked out (E:recv error on uevent))

then install 1. the rom, the 2, the patch then 3 magisk or SU or whatever.

then you can either get microG through magisk or install/update the apps from https://microg.org/download.html and you can get the mozilla nlp from f-droid if you dont want the microg one.

just some tips in case ppl are stuck trying to install microg without the patch.

if Ivan added the patch https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/tree/master/patches that'd be cool but its not lineageOS kosher so no biggie.

No Samsung features will ever appear in Lineage OS. Stick with the Stock Samsung OS or use Lineage OS and enjoy its features.

So one of your apps is blocking the idling even in airplane mode.

You could download BetterBatteryStats and have a look for, what app is causing so may wake locks over night.

But this app got restricted by google with the newer Android versions... so it may not tell you enough.

Actually what I did was going through my apps list in Settings -> Security -> Trust -> Data Privacy and disabling the "Start with OS" and "Deactivate Sleep" permissions for all the apps I wasn't sure of that they needed this feature. Actually most of the apps which are not messengers or email or calender / clock (cause they are important).

Just go through the list and revoke some of the permissions you are sure this app won't need. Example: 9gag App, Google App etc.

Hint: Don't revoke any permissions of the Google Play-Services or Google Playstore or a lot will go wrong afterwards

Have fun taking over control of your phone :)
