Looks like that the last official maintainer left a totally messed up device tree for the LOS files. This needs some work to clear it. But there is nobody who likes to to that. So I keep on waiting for Ivan`s next release :victory: Sometimes it lasts two or three month until a new release.

Let`s send him some money for encouraging beer...

Hello, any updates of the 2 issues that still happen as of today?

Especially the mobileiron app is important so that i could use my work email
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] skorpion1977:
Ivan left LOS Development for the S7. So, no more updates and fixes. At least as long as there is no other maintainer.

skorpion.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] pumori:
any source for this info that Ivan left??

Can't imagine he wouldn't say goodbye...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] stsm71:
Didn't he just replace his s7 screen to keep development going?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] skorpion1977:
Telegram Group. Because of Treble Release. He said: if treble comes, I'm out. And now, he is out.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] max_work:
what you mean with treble? treble for s7?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] skorpion1977:
Yes. See XDA S7 Edge forum. There is a thread about it. Dont know anything else, I didnt use it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] max_work:
wow just did quickly read through this, this seems to completly revive the s7. i mean people installing miui gsi and other images on the s7. looking forward to what will be possible
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] lasyan3:
Sorry to ask, but what does it mean exactly? From what I understand after a quick search, Project Treble was initiated by Google as an attempt to make OS updates easier. So, if Ivan stopped working on LineageOS for GS7, does that mean there are roms for GS7 with Treble support? But if so, why would it be posted on GS7 Edge forum instead of GS7?

This may sound like silly questions but I'm a little lost right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] max_work:
why this post is only in the edge forum i dont know, but the headline says it is for g930x and g935x and it is basically for exinos, so for both.

this does not only make updates easier, it (almost) completly enables so called gsi roms to run on any treble enabled device, at least in theory. practically there are challenges. but if there is a los gsi rom, and i think there is one, it could theoreticly just run out if the box. but as far as have followed such roms there are always some problems. but to sum it up, adapting a gsi rom is much easier as bringing a rom to a non treble device
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] lasyan3:
Thanks max_work for your answer.

So that means Treble based roms is not a guarantee to have a proper stable rom... I guess my search for a real stable rom is far from finished ^^. Currently running on LineageOS 16 beta 19, but I have to change soon, too much issues with it (reboots, crash, slowliness). Issues I didn't have with LineageOS 14. But as far as I can see, most roms are saying they are "beta/development/testing" stage, very little are mentioned as "stable" (and even so, Lineage OS 16 beta is also marked as stable...).

Edit: gonna try those ROMs before giving up:

Galaxy Project (Oreo)

Havoc-OS (Pie)

LightROM (Oreo/Pie)

Superman Rom (Oreo)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tyl:
That's weird. I find latest los16 very stable. Also, RR for S7 (los16 based) is almost as stable.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] skorpion1977:
LOS is the most stable ROM you will find. Try newest Build from June in this thread. Dont use Magisk and Substratum -> reboots may appear

Havoc is based on LOS. So, it is not as stable as LOS

Rest is stock based, but Superman and Galaxy are really out-of-date. LightROM is fine, but I think LOS is more smooth.

skorpion.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] lasyan3:
Hi skorpion,

Indeed that's what I though after reading tyl's answer: I may have issues with some applications installed instead of the ROM itself (and indeed I have Magisk installed).

I may try a fresh reinstall of the lastest build of LineageOS and install only a small set of applications and see the stability of the system before adding more apps.

But LineageOS doesn't officially support the Galaxy S7 anymore (it's sad but I suppose there are good reasons for that), and Ivan the developper who maintained it has stopped the unofficial support. So is it still worth it?

Thanks for your patience people :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tyl:
Yup. Except Ivan baked magisk into his los16 releases, right? And recommended using magisk supported apps only (though some apps in the magisk repo aren't stable or for S7, true) :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] skorpion1977:
No, Ivan doesnt deliver any root solution. And he recommed supersu from Lineage. And no magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tyl:
Guess I stand corrected.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Jcth1:
So this will be the end of that for my s7 then. Will be time to test the GPU performance over stock soon so one of my s7s will become my android gaming phone for use with my gamesir controller.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] lasyan3:
May I ask why Magisk is not advised? Is this because of incompatibility with LOS or in general bad echoes from the community?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Beanvee7:
I've used Magisk with LOS for 15 and 16 without any issue, although I don't use Substratum
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] girtsn:
Same here (occasional restarts but that's nothing critical for me anyway with the boot time).

With the departure of Ivan, hopefully someone else can take up the further development of this rom it is quite good.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] dylem29:
So it's official? Yvan leaves the development of this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] downhere:
You can try the Project Treble/GSI solution... Not as complete as regular LOS yet, but I think is the future for S7 LOS.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ripee:
I will still be running (almost) daily builds, linked in my Google Drive in my signature. I build them from my forks of Ivan's sources, specifically after de-bsp-ifying his bsp branch, since that's the one he updated the most recently.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] rho-bot:
Thanks for Info, wasn't aware that you also build nightlys :D

Now my journey may continue...

A small offtopic question:

Do you have experince to share about the latest BL/CP G930FXXS6ESH1 ? How does it perform, compared to older versions?

Asking because due to the (again rised) binary level 6, there is no way back for downgrade...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ripee:
The SH1 bootloader/modem works very well, no complaints. I keep up with the latest because older ones have randomly rebooted on me, relative to the latest lineage build at the time.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Pilzinsel64:
I have a question. What about the always-on-display feaurure? I have seen that this frauure is available in lineageos 16 for Samsung galaxy s6 but it isn't available for this device. Why? Would it be able to implement or activate it? I don't like to use third party apps for that feature because they don't work 100% correct and is not fully implemented in the system. But I wouldnoike to use it. It us the only feature that I miss in lineageos that is available in the Samsung's stock android for the s7.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] chief_wigum:
Build 21 10.09.2019 anyone tested it?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sooperior:
Good point, I hadn't noticed that there was an update
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Seanthedroid:
LineageOS should have it under Settings > Lockscreen or Settings > Display, labelled either "Always-On Display" or Ambient Display." Sorry, it's been a while since I enabled it and I left my main phone at home. If you're referring to Samsung's implementation where the screensaver is actually always on, though, there's no need for that. The LineageOS version turns on whenever it thinks you're reaching for the display, which is triggered by slowly waving your hand over the phone, taking it out of your pocket, or flipping it rightside-up after having it upside-down on a table. You get a clock, notification icons, and maybe weather.

There's also an actual screensaver option that *is* always-on; my personal favorite screensaver/daydream widget is Chronus, which can display more info and has a more customizable look than Samsung's Always-On Display. LineageOS natively displays any space not occupied by the screensaver widget as AMOLED black, i.e. not turning on those pixels at all, just like Samsung's version. The Screensaver/Daydream can be set to turn on on when the phone is charging, docked, or both, but there's also a "test now" button that you could probably rig up to fire on screen-off events with Tasker or MacroDroid, if you want a screensaver that's always on and panning around the screen that badly without having to reach for the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] dumbledork:
Dirty Flashed fine for me, no noticeable issues thus far.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tyl:
Thanks for the update Ivan.

Appreciated as always! :):good:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Pilzinsel64:
Thanks, I didn't know to use the screensaver. But I can only use it when loading my device.

I know how the always on feature works and where it should be located to turn on. But under settings, display and inactivity display, I can't find it. There is only the option for new notifications to turn on the screen. And under lineageos 16 for galaxs s6 on this location were an another option that was that always on feature.

I was asking if it is possible to activists this generally for this build if available or if I can enable if myself on my device.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] mtdrdn:
Great rom so far! But i have a strong battery drain :/ any known fixes? best regards!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] dumbledork:
Okay, so it turned out after my dirty flash, my phone APPEARED to be draining faster. I tried to let it drain all the way to 0%, but after 15 minutes with the flashlight on and a video playing at full brightness, I decided to reboot to Recovery. Recovery said 76% battery. I booted back to system, and the battery was calibrated again (reading 76% in the system instead of 1% now).

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
So a progress update on Q, I have booting build i got done earlier today but i want to finish up few things before posting it, as for lack updates i got sick of this comunity as some group of users are really disrespectful and well being only person that worked on aosp while others just take work and do it for profit while i spend time and money on build server expensses and reverse engineering stuff and stuff just didnt sit fine for me (I cant really build on other peoples servers either as i have parts of bsp source that is private and i dont want to leak as i could get in legal trouble, and thats the reason why rom has fully working hwc amongst other things) As for surprise i decided to postpone it until i release q because it would be picked by others minute i post it anyway

And well thanks to everyone who donated earlier as i do this non profit (Unlike some projects on these forums) in my free time and those donations help offset server cost a bit, ill try to post q builds in a coming week

I've updated the baseband to the latest for my region BTU.

I updated the CSC as well. Twrp is up to date

. I have noticed that the method to check the CSC version *#1234# didn't work.

I will try a clean reinstall next. After that Im out of ideas. So any help would be most appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sooperior:
I think I have found why banks apps or similar fail, but still don't know how to solve it.

This rom is compiled with selinux=permissive. That is detected by play store and safetynet and marks the device as insecure (some apps even say that device is rooted).

I have tried adb root ; adb shell setenforce 1 and it restarts the UI.

Anyone knows how to set selinux enforce?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ro.sch:
I have successfully used Magisk for getting my banking apps to work. In Magisk Hide you simply choose the apps to hide root from certain apps.

I don't recall the exact order of installation, but I think it was something like install Magisk, install the banking app, hide the app in Magisk and then start the app for the first time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sooperior:
No worries, I think I can follow some guide.

It is funny that I need to install root and magisk hide to convice bank apps that I'm not rooted :p

Hi, I'm probably answered along the thread, but I've sincerely reviewed dozens of pages and it's not clear to me.

I have stock and the question of moving to LOS is if the google pay will continue to work, and banking applications if I install the rom. I don't need root.

I use the nfc payment daily and I can't afford to run out of google pay.

thanks in advance!

Hehe, as you can see at his avatar, Ivan is more into the good stuff. ;)

I can understand your frustration. As I got to learn by myself: You will never be able to suit everybody. Although everything is fine there will always be someone who isn't satisfied and/or who knows better.

Don't let that bad part make you forget about the good part. We as humans tend to keep negative things in our mind and forget about the fun part. I really appreciate your work and what you are doing for this community, always did and am pretty sure that's how the majority of this community thinks.

It would be a great loss if you'd leave us, because of a bunch of morons who aren't able to read through a post before asking the same stupid question for the xth time or complain about non working/missing features. With their post they just disqualify themselves. Don't let their issues get too close to yourself. As long as you enjoy your time developing everything is fine, because this is all that matters. =)

Whatever your decision may be:

A big thank you for all the time you spent for us (not just for this particular project) and a tight hug for bringing LOS to two of my devices! I really hope you'll continue developing for this device- be sure I'll stay connected. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Matty1993:
Android Q your a boss Ivan :D i love you so much right now
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sooperior:
Fully agree.

Just one quick comment to Ivan: I have custom roms on several devices and I follow their corresponding XDA threads. And it is the same s**t in all of them: Please make a new build, please fix this error for me, please make a last-version-android to my several years old device...

When I get angry I always send the same message: Call your device manufacturer. You paid them for the device, ask them for support. Guys at XDA do it for free, so you have no right to complain/ask.

If you keep on doing builds that's great. If you make LOS 17, that's even greater. If you leave your life and forget about roms, that is also great.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] girtsn:
FYI, anyone else having the problem with mobile iron app, Ivan helped me with this - the problem is that the app detects the phone as Samsung so it tries to call Knox (Samsung feature). To prevent it, same solution as for making https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/gear-s3-aosp-los-root-t3878858 galaxy watch to work, only apply the device name etc. the additional files are not needed.

Hi

After years of using other roms I wanted to try Lineage 16.

Can you tell me how the stability for daily use is? What restrictions do I have to accept regarding camera, app usage, Google services and other things?

Are there currently reasons for exclusion for daily productive use?

I hope you can help me with much more information :)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] wutbat:
Good ROM, thank you for the effort.

The problems I noticed:

-Camera is freezy on WhatsApp and other apps like Notebloc, but not imo chat.

-Voice recording is also that way and there is a repeating noise.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Blackhazard2012:
thx for reply

Camera is an exclusion criterion. Does dictating in Android auto?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] nostromo12:
Battery drain?

The battery estimated running time showed only 2 hours at 60% capacity after dirty install of the new ROM. But all the time I check again its enlarging. So I assume the indication control is somehow confused and will recalibrate.

Hope my random reboots are gone with the new version! Thanks Ivan!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Digger_m:
After a few reinstalls of 16 and still having the WiFi still randamly restart. It occurred to me as I started to restore my apps that may be 1 of my apps. So at the moment I haven reinstalled avast and afwall. I suspect the avast is the culprit. Going to reinstall afwall. After more monitoring. And will look at using a different antivirus.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] MNNR:
Hey! Have you guys noticed that the phone gets stuck at rebooting over and over again when the storage is lower than 800mb?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Seanthedroid:
Yes, we do know about that issue, but it's not been a big enough priority for anyone to bother with a logcat because, TBH, why would you have under 800MB free on your internal memory? The highest-speed 64GB MicroSD cards from the best brands are now well under $20 (no point in converting to Euros, because the exchange rate hovers around 1.1:1 these days), and the 128GB ones are $20-25. That's still more than a lot of people usually spend on phone accessories, but this phone was $700-750 new, $300-350 used, so most of us on this forum are not exactly hard up, and both you and I live in some of the richest countries in the world. You can use Gcam Tool to automatically put pictures on the SD card, and under Developer Options you can force all apps to be movable to the SD card. Speed can be an issue, but anything over Class 5 isn't going to open most apps noticeably slower, except games.

All phones and ROMs will have speed and stability issues with much less than 10% free space on the internal memory, even bootloops can happen to any older filled-up phone if the wear-leveling algorithm has reduced the number of usable blocks below the displayed partition size. Cheap UFS chips, and Samsung has a history of bad chips that wear out early, might not even have a wear-leveling algorithm, so they just start corrupting data, slowing down, and losing capacity with no predictability. Since you have less than 2% free, I'd be surprised if it booted even on the stock ROM. I don't see the point in Ivan fixing this, even if it can be fixed, because at a level of free space as low as what you want to run your phone with, fixing LineageOS's bootloop issue is still going to leave you with instability, slowness, and random reboots. Especially on a 3.5-year-old phone that already has less actual storage capacity, due to write cycle wear-and-tear, than what is being displayed in Settings > Storage. Why solve a bootlooping issue only to end up with random hard reboots during daily use?

What you need to do is wipe /cache in TWRP, if you can still boot into recovery mode; uninstall all apps that you either don't use on a regular basis; or that have usable website alternatives, as quickly as you can before storage fills back up; delete the contents of the data folders for web browsers, Youtube, and social media apps before rebooting to Android; then clear app caches and move apps to the SD card until you have at least 10GB free. That's enough free space that you won't have to worry again for a long time. You'll also want to use Youtube Vanced instead of Youtube, because the official app has no caching control. It used to, but Google removed that feature because they decided that nobody was using it, so now Youtube just puts old video thumbnails, descriptions, and comments in your storage until it's full. I'm not a very heavy Youtube user, but even I can get it above 2GB before the ridiculously long default cache expiry kicks in. If you're a heavy Youtube user, I don't think it would be hard to accidentally fill your phone with junk.
