Thank you [MENTION=4610599]Ivan_Meler[/MENTION] for the build 5!

So the list of bugs for build 4 and not working features so far:

-Audio is low from the speaker and with a lot of noise. From the headphone it is crystal clear.

-To change system colours and style you have to go to the developers options instead of Settings>display>style.

-CVE 2019-2215 Vulnerability? here and here.

-Some apps will auto rotate the screen even if the option is toggled off when using the phone in landscape mode.

-From time to time none app will open, it shows the animation of being clicked but it doesn't open (it was already happening since build 1, maybe it's a memory leak?) restarting the phone remedy this.

-LED charging indicator sometimes works sometimes don't.

-While playing a streaming video on 5GHz WiFi, after some seconds it will drop the connection, on 2.4GHz it doesn't happen. On build 5, the WiFi 5Ghz got worst, it's not showing the SSID anymore like from some people back on build 2 or 3.

-Since build 2, the smartphone gets pretty hot while using a browser searching the web. On build 1 it was fine. The smartphone is getting pretty hot on build 5 while playing games, browsing, etc..!

-Random reboots

It would be nice to have OTA updates as the OS is starting to get better and better, but fixing the bugs i think are the top priority.

For those who like the gcam app (best camera app for custom rom in my opinion), I found one that works great for our beloved exynos s7 model (unless someone has a better gcam version): Download the GCam for Galaxy S9 Exynos Android Oreo: Google Camera 5.1.018 for Galaxy S9 (without Night Sight) version [direct link]

The Galaxy Note FE has the same SoC Exynoss 8890 and went till android 9.0 officially and support died on this version. Would port some things like maybe kernel, new vendor blobs, mali drivers from Note FE be possible or helpful?

Uploaded a logcat, last_kmsg, tombstones.

Does anyone know any work arounds for low call and media volume? Like an app or something until it's fixed. My only problem with this rom, hearing calls or assistant or Skype almost impossible unless in a quiet environment.

Thanks team.

Alter the gain values in mixer_paths_0.xml to increase volumes.

But I think there's a bug in audio routing that's messing up the audio output.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Mint Julep:
Noise-canceling is a Samsung's tech. Can't port it to LOS. Maybe there's a way to program a software who'd do the same but it's not happening here I think.

Does this mean, that every Custom Rom for Samsung S7 devices will never support Speakerphone? :eek: I mean does LOS not have any solution for this? That's an essential feature: Doing phone calls. I mean ... ?!

I bought 4 devices because the ROM seemed to be working and in the start thread it says everything is working. That's really bad communicated because it's wrong. There are several things not working. :rolleyes:

From LineAgeOS -> https://lineageos.org/Announcing-our-Mascot/ -> VoLTE requires OEM support. Please stop asking us about it.

It is silly to keep on asking the device rom maintainers like Ivan - but it would be nice of lineage to publish a page like above listing all the often requested features that are not possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Jcth1:
So I made a mistake with a module for magisk and bootlooped my phone on Los 16 build 24. So I updated to the latest build on Los 17.1 to rectify the bootloop. As great as it has been i have one issue or request.

On Ivan's los16 I had the 3 nav buttons working fine but also the captive buttons aswell. However on this build I no longer have the captives working.

Is there anyway to re enable them as per the previous version?

Cheers

Edit - just flashed build 6 and captives are working again. Very happy. Cheers Ivan.

I'm still having the problem that the headset mic doesn't work in Facebook Messenger Video call. Plus after the video call is ended, the general speaker volume is lowered and can not be increased to previous level. Only a reboot resets the speaker volume level.

I am still getting a bootloop with build 7 so I expect that there are some phones that this will not install as it is set up at present. Tried it twice using Open Gapps nano and left the loop for more than 30 minutes.

It is a 930W8 and has had Ivan's 16 running on it with no problem. Just in case there are others having similar problems.

This time I used the Gapps as listed on Ivan's build 7 page and that is Open Gapps. Previously I have tried all other gapps that I could find with no better results.

But thanks for the suggestion.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] CJGraby:
I had a similar problem on build 4 with Open Gapps. I tried with Flame Gapps and it worked instantly. You should give that a try.

I have another question, which I asked earlier, but I've had no reply, so I'll try again, now that there is a new build:

I'm currently running build 4, so I want to update it to the latest build. Is there a way to do this other than making a clean install where all data is lost? It would be very tedious and annoying to re-install everything with every build, and it would likewise be annoying to continue running the old build, where I have noticed quite a lot of bugs that I suspect are fixed in build 5-6. So, is there a way to update it? If so, how?

I had to clean flash to get from los17.0 to los17.1. But since then I just dirty flash without issue.

I've used opengapps 10 pico and never had a problem with bootlooping. The sequence:

1. Clean if necessary (advanced wipe cache, dalvik, system; then format data)

2. Install los17.1

3. Install opengapps pico

4. Install magisk 20.3 if wanted

5 reboot to system.

The only issues I've found from latest builds (5 & 6) is that the phone wakes from locked screen occasionally. Can anyone confirm if it happens to them on builds 5 & 6? -If so, Ill send logs to Ivan, otherwise I'll clean flash first before reporting as a bug.

(Edit: I get reduced device volume after using BT too sometimes. Ill try to log it..

Edit 2: volume is restored after reboot to system, can try to log

Edit 3: I can't get replicate it atm. I've tried BT audio volume down and disconnect -no success yet)

Hello,

Thank you for this hard work. Sorry english is not my langage, so ther'is probably some mystakes in my post.

I tried to flash my S7, but on reboot it stays on the lineage os booting logo (for 10 minutes and nothing go on).

I tried this sequence:

1. Flash TWRP with Odin

2. In recovery mode, flash dm-verity and force encryption disabler 6.1 zip.

3. In recovery mode Wipe Cache/Dalvik

4. Reboot in recovery mode one more time

5. In recovery mode flash lineage-17.1-20200122-UNOFFICIAL-herolte

6. In recovery mode Wipe Cache + Wipe dalvik/ART cache + Wipe Data + Wipe System

7. In recovery mode flash FlameGApps-10.0-Basic-arm64-20200209

8. In recovery mode wipe Cache/Dalvik and "Reboot System Now"

9. eternal boot sequence...

I tried to flash OpenGapps nano instead of FlameGapps, but no change.

Please, somebody have an idea to help me ?

Thank you.

Thanks for the build.

Any way I can provide stacktraces and catch crashes and issues?

Had a few cases of WiFi randomly switching of and at least once device just switched off and won't turn on. Had to boot into odin and cancel, then it started fine. Battery was 80% and it was on charger.

I tried two suggested methods. Neither worked for me.

6 reboot to system.

Only get a forever boot loop. Note that I did not try installing magisk.

Thanks for the ideas anyways.

OK, can you confirm your opengapps version is arm64 android 10 ? Direct link:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/op...n_gapps-arm64-10.0-pico-20200210.zip/download

I'm not positive, but doesn't 'disable DM verity' need magisk? What version are you using? Try the above WITH magisk in the order suggested :)

Are you installing anything else not mentioned in the lists?

Don't give up, it'll be something simple. And latest los17.1 is very nice.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] RickBH:
I tried

Flash the rom first don't flash other things then reboot

leave it to boot

Left for about 30 minutes and no success.

TWRP App is not installed. never have.

Gapps is correct for arm64 and android 10.

Nothing else is being installed.

My carrier signal is not good with this rom and also with lineageos 16. Every time I have my calls disconected.

I'm suspecting that my modem is not updated. I have download the latest sammobile firmware for my country and applied the CP through Odin, but the problem persist.

Is there any other advice or workaround?

This rom is awesome and I would like to continue with it as my daily drive.

Thank you, these 2 combined sequences are the goods !

With your explanation, everythings are ok.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tyl:

i. return to twrp main menu

j. Select Reboot, then select "Recovery", then swipe to confirm

DO NOT MISS steps E, F, G, H, I, J

Then continue steps 2-6:

2. Install los17.1

3. Install opengapps pico

4. Install magisk 20.3

5. Install Disable dm verity

Build 6 is the best for me yet. No crashes so far. However, sound levels are too low. Especially during a phone call and during speaker mode in a phone call. Sometimes, media volume is also very low and only resets back to low normal after reboot. Alarm volume is also quite low - although turned up to the maximum, the morning alarm is barely loud enough to wake me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tyl:
Me too. Have you worked out what causes the drop in volume? I was thinking it might be linked to Bluetooth use, but now I'm not sure.

Need to find out what triggers it so we can describe how to replicate it and capture logs to submit it as a bug....

Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Avantal:
It feels more and more as some kind of ghost is ruling my phone now.

I have just found that my phone is in Do Not Disturb mode. Went to settings, there was some kind of twschedule set for DnD. When I tried to delete it phone just froze and rebooted.

Also

- get random NFC errors

- very often after unlock device shows Emergency call (could be emergency button is too close to other buttons and gets presses accidentally?)

- wifi randomly switches off and doesn't turn on anymore

- once phone froze while on charge and didn't turn on until force reboot

Can also confirm that sound is a bit too quiet from speakers now. At least that's the feel, youtube is too quiet now when I'm cooking something =) Keep trying to make it louder, even tried searching for equaliser in settings, but didn't find one
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] RickBH:
As tyl suggested, I followed his list and did it twice. I am sure that it was not any different from what i have tried previously and the resulting bootloop is the same. Left for at least 20 minutes each time.

I am pretty sure that there is something in the phone that is causing the problem, either some hardware or something broken. But LoS 16 works with no problems.

Official Installation manual

I realize that there is a lot of discussion about how to set up lineageos. Here's an extract from the official wiki (wiki.lineageos.org/devices/herolte/install) that should solve some of those problems and worked fine for me:

Installing LineageOS from recovery

Build a LineageOS installation package.

Optionally, download additional application packages such as Google Apps (use the arm64 architecture).

If you are not in recovery, reboot into recovery:

With the device powered off, hold Volume Up + Home + Power. When the blue text appears, release the buttons.

Now tap Wipe.

Now tap Format Data and continue with the formatting process. This will remove encryption and delete all files stored in the internal storage.

Return to the previous menu and tap Advanced Wipe, then select the Cache and System partitions and then Swipe to Wipe.

Sideload the LineageOS .zip package:

On the device, select “Advanced”, “ADB Sideload”, then swipe to begin sideload.

On the host machine, sideload the package using: adb sideload filename.zip

(Optionally): If you want to install any additional add-ons, adb sideload filename.zip those packages in sequence.

info_outline

Note: If you want Google Apps on your device, you must follow this step before booting into LineageOS for the first time!

(Optional): Root your device by installing LineageOS’ AddonSU, (use the arm64 package) or by using any other method you prefer.

Once you have installed everything successfully, run ‘adb reboot’.

warning

Warning: Depending on which recovery you use, you may be prompted to install additional apps and services. We strongly advise you to opt out of installing these, as they may cause your device to bootloop, as well as attempt to access or corrupt your data.

Tried again, this time on my own international, fully unlocked herolte. Boot animation played endlessly for 30mins, then O had to restore from nand backup. wiped everything, formated data, flashed new build and then gapps nano. I'm quite a veteran in regard to flashing, so I believe I dod everything according to book.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] RickBH:
I have also tried a couple more times. I tried using the internal data volume instead of the SD card in case it is a card problem. Nothing has worked so far. I appreciate the note from thacoder but I have been installing Lineage and other Roms for a few years now. I still have a couple of Galaxy S that run Omni well. So this problem with my S7 is a new one. I believe that there is something different about this S7 that is causing the problem.
