Download the whole firmware to a pc or laptop, open the zip and just install the modem part of the software. Easy as that!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] truevision:
OK I try.

I looked for the firmware changelog on the site but I didn't find it. Somebody can tell me where I cant found it... ?

Aside from the radio, which partitions does it make sense to keep updated from Samsung firmware?

OP=Opening post. The first post in the thread where Ivan explains new features and known problems
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] chrisrevoltes:
Thats a good question.

I read multiple times that in some cases flashing the whole stockrom with everything else can fix some bugs. Especially when changing major android versions. Something with different partitions or that kind.

But unfortunately I have no idea why or even if that's true. Maybe someome more experienced can explain that.

As I already wrote, I flashed everything just to be sure. Its 15 mins more work.

But if Ivan don't recommend it, its not nesassary.

chrome / brave issue

Hi all,

Thanks again to those providing help :)

I've the same issue, BRAVE or CHROME launch but can't surf.

I've tested the solution described, but still got the issue.

i installed Webview, still issue.

I use the latest version of this ROM and latest nano GAPS.

Some idea ?

Thanks

Anyone got the old swipe keyboard working with the method of pushing libjni_latinimegoogle.so to system/lib ?

dont want to install the full gapps and this method that worked on lineage 16 doesnt seem to work for 17.1

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] antr0yd:
First, endless thanks for the phantastic work you're doing. I almost feel bad to report bugs.

Second, today I upgraded my S7 (SM-G930F) to LOS 17.1 (lineage-17.1-20200811-UNOFFICIAL-herolte.zip, open-gapps, magisk); and I encountered the following issues:

a) Localization Services: I could no longer select between network-based, GPS and combined localization; only localization was offered. All nav apps appeared to use network based localization (fix was provided immediately), no nav app attempted a GPS fix. To me, it looked like GPS was not triggered.

b) Fingerprint: I use fingerprint unlock for two applications; worked fine on one app but the other reporter an error. This might be app related; but had worked fine under LOS 16.0 and did not work neither with a TB recovery nor a fresh install of the error-reporting app.

Issue a) caused me to downgrade to LOS 16.0 to use GPS.

How long does the battery last compared to stock rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] rdelmont:
I came from TGP ROM and I'd say that battery usage is comparable. It depends on your use case, installed apps and whatever, for me it lasts about 36-40 hours.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] yellman:
Hi Ivan,

I have a very bad LTE signal ( Android 9 fix ) and this helped me it is used as exposed module.

Explanation and the fix over here: https://repo.xposed.info/module/me.hbc.ltemobilesignalfix

So the question is could you implement this to your LOS ROM ?

I do not know what it does but it works pretty well in Android 9 I think it ignores reception or so. If there was just a simple build.prop hack but the old ones no longer takes effect and I am not able to run magisk edexposed here on Android 10.

Your ROM is fast n stable so far 24 hours using it no lags or reboots thumbs up dude keep it up.

thanks for the great work

Hello,

First of all I would like to thank you for the great work you have done in this and other roms.

Let's go to the problems I got in this rom:

1 - Restarts for no reason.

2 - Does not connect to 5Ghz networks, only 2.4.

3 - Whatsapp sounds can only be heard on the internal speaker, the external speaker does not work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Kippy51:
1. That's you, hasn't been mentioned

2. Read a couple of posts before yours ... Could be your ssid or your router.

3. ??? I don't use WhatsApp.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] mustardman29:
My phone status is charging but the LED is not lit indicating charging. It was lit when I first plugged in the charger and the battery was around 30%. Now it's at 74% and still charging but the LED is no longer lit. After phone reboot it is lit again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Kippy51:
That was the case on LOs 16.0 as well. It's annoying, but that's just it: annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] psyalemao:
Thank you [MENTION=4610599]Ivan_Meler[/MENTION] for the build 2!

So the list of bugs for build 2 and not working features till now:

-Heart rate sensor ? (Didn't test yet because it has to install S Health and health services apk, but the heart sensor was already mentioned)

-Software backed video playback (whatsapp audio and videos have to be played through VLC for now)

-Audio inside some games and apps doesn't work

-Vulkan API (stock nougat and oreo have it)

-Settings>System>Status bar>Battery percentage next to the icon doesn't work

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

-Live display doesn't work, for blue light filter/set the color temperature to display

-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

-Random freezes and reboots

-LED charging indicator sometimes works sometimes don't

-Front camera isn't working anymore, on build 1 it was working fine

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]

Uploaded a logcat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] DroidHero2002:
Yeah the majority of that stuff doesn't work for me either, one that bothers me the most is the front camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] thatmadhacker:
It looks like the front camera issue is do to the ashmem module not being properly built in to the kernel

Some bugs after a clean install after format: (smG930w8)

TWRP can no longer access /data (invalid argument), must reformat to different and reformat back to ext4

Contacts do not sync to device from gmail or from sim card

Mobile strength is next to nothing (either reading wrong.. or is actually at 2147483647dBm and 99asu) (maybe needs a firmware update?)

Phone seems to be super hot while running rom

With versions below it infinitely says background processing when a photo is taken.

I think one of these gcam 7+ apks needs to be patched with s7 specific mods.

For some reason, some applications that require 3D graphics have their red and blue channels swapped. It seems to only affect some OpenGL ES 2 apps and not OpenGL ES 3 or Vulkan apps.

I am currently comparing WLAN / GSM performance between this and the "FloydQ V4.0" ROM. With Lineage i am getting frequent disconnects in low signal environments while the other ROM seems to hold the connection better. This wasn't always the case i have been having these issues only since a few builds.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] UnsettledSoul:
I just noticed, some apps don't get internet access via mobile data, others do just fine (that's why I JUST noticed it). I've spent the better part of the afternoon here trying to figure it out... to no avail. Regardless of what data-usage setting is set in the different apps (wifi yes, mobile yes, ...) via android app settings, some apps just can't access the internet via 4G while others just do without a hitch. Via wifi ALL apps work.

I didn't test all apps installed, but the vast majority seem to be at least wonky in that area. For example lightning (web-browser) works as long as I navigate on google, as soon as I leave google, no data anymore. Gmail works, k-9 mail (e-mail client) doesn't. I don't use mobile data on my phone that much, but when I need it I NEED it.

Any ideas? Oh almost forgot, I did already delete the cache in recovery and the cache for google play services (suggested things via a google search).

EDIT: Apparently some weird APN ****up. The one setting according to my mobile service provider should work, doesn't, the one that should not work, does. Why in hell gmail was able to get e-mails... no idea. Still trying to find the best possible settings and trying to understand... WHY!?

gapps are Google services+some Google apps. You can DL them from OP. It's a ZIP file that you'll have to flash with twrp.

Choose wisely wich gapps package you download, for there's several option

Once you've flashed it, you'll have playstore (or you'll be able to install it with an apk)

New builds are up with september security update and few misc changes here is a brief changelog

- Updated vendor blobs to N935KKKU4CTH1 with August 2020 vendor security update

- Enabled dynamic audio processing effects

- Improved microphone performance (Should also resolve headset mic issues with some apps)

- Increased recording volume

- Misc performance and stability improvements

- Merged September 200 security update

- Synced with LOS source

Furthermore big thanks to everyone who donated previously as those donations came handy because i was forced to change build server provider and new service was a bit more expensive but had less issues with downtime and performance overall so thanks once again as i do this project in my free time and these donations help pay for build servers used for those

now with some good news as most of you know Android R source has been released which means ill start working on s7 bringup of it, I already have working build on my s10 which helped me get familiar with changes in build system and android itself once again no etas as i do this in my free time and big thanks to everyone who supported this project as that helped keep it alive for since i took over around oreo when s7 was abandoned, also updated pie builds will be out soon

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] rdelmont:
Yeah I do confirm that. In my case, with build 14 LED worked only as battery indicator, with build 15 it lost even that function. To me that's no impairing though, since I'm used to disable LED anyway - but that's my use-case.

Bout the rest at first glance build 15 seems very good, I'll check thoroughfully during next days as daily driver.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] MNNR:
The same thing happened to me, But for me the problem turned out to be because of the Ainur Sound mod, Or Viper4android, Because I had just dirty flashed the new 14 build, Anyway, So in order to fix the problem I had to reinstall/reflash these sound mods, I don't know which one was causing the issue, I hope this helps someone :).

Thanks for the update but it will still not boot at least one of my S7 phones. With a clean install it just boots back into TWRP after about 4 minutes. This phone will boot the 20200805 version but no other and a dirty install from that does not work either. What is different between these variants? I do have one supposedly identical S7 (SM-G930W8) that will boot this and all previous versions but the one good phone that I use daily will only run the 20200805 version. There seems to be some confusion between the models numbers that the phones think they are. Is that what is causing the problem?

Hi,

ROM is really stable on my device.

I used it this summer during my holiday trip with intensive usage (even with android auto) and there was no crash or reboot, everything was smooth and fluid.

As many users on this post, I have the LED problem remaining (working only in charge).

Also, does anyone have problems with some banking or money apps with fingerprint authentication? Fingerprint works perfectly to unlock phone and even some apps but it seems that some "critical" apps like banking apps can't enable it.
