Got hardware encryption working with new twrp-3.5.0_9-0 version and Ivan's LineageOS 18.1 20201223 build, probably will work on these builds too. Many thanks Ivan!

Edit: It is still not possible to mount /data within twrp but I was able to dirty flash the same build using external unencrypted sdcard, so flashing new builds is now ok
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] purpleneons:
For some reason, the ROM restarts back to recovery during the first boot, after a couple minutes of the loading Lineage logo, and just can't proceed any further. It's very strange, as both 16.0 and 18.1 work perfectly fine. I'm on a G930F and I've only been flashing nano GApps and Magisk along with the ROM, so nothing out of the ordinary. TWRP's log doesn't show anything strange, at least in a complete noob's eyes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] RickBH:
I have 4 S7 phones (G930W8) and ran 16 (Android 9) on all of them with no problems. But when I started to try 17 , 3 would boot but one did not and still will not boot any 17.1 ROM. I get hte same boot back to TWP that you get. Out of curiosity I tried Ivan's 18 on that one phone and it boots fine. All of the 18 ROMs seem to boot with no problems. I have no idea why and did try every 18 ROM that I could find. Maybe a slight hardware variation?

I did update to the latest stock version and even ran the PIT file to reset partitions with no improvement. I hope that 18.1 will be stable soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] purpleneons:
Right, so it's not just my bad luck but an actual issue. I think I'll stay on 16 for now, and wait till the next 17 update to see if it changes anything, or until 18 gets stable enough.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] RickBH:
Strangely enough I just installed TWRP 3.5.0-9 and tried installing a 17.1 ROM and it booted fine. The ROM was not Ivan's but one of Ripee's updates (20210101). I went back and tried Ivan's last 17.1 and it would not boot. I have no idea what is different because I thought that Ripee used Ivan's base for his updates. I could be wrong about that because Ripee does not seem to put out much information on his ROM.

When using Video call the mic does not work in Viber and Duo. Whatsapp works. Viber and Duo work on sound only calls, but when switching to video the mic is not geting any sound from me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] magatxda:
I have the same kind of issue. I solved it by flashing the gapps right after.

Sometimes some google apps (like Maps) won't start after that. Just uninstall and install again and it works. Maybe just clearing the app cache and user data would work.

When there is a new release. Somehow I feel like this release is being neglected. We have collected quite a few bugs and these are reproducible. Hopefully they will be fixed one day ...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] purpleneons:
Considering the previous releases were more less monthly, hopefully pretty soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] fipsy:
Yes, there are monthly updates coming, but it looks to me like these are just security updates. Bug fixes no longer seem to take place.

I would like to know if the WiFi error that reproducibly occurs with me also occurs with others. For me, it always happens around 7:30 am in the morning. At this time, I synchronise a lot of data with the app "FolderSync" with Google Drive daily. And every 4-5 days, the WiFi connection drops during this synchronisation. It is reproducible and I get the message: Unable to resolve host "www.googleapis.com": No address associated with hostname. This has been the case since I started using this Release of LineageOS 17.1 on the Galaxy S7. Before that, on the S5 with LineageOS 14.1, it worked perfectly for years.

I once read out the dates on which the WiFi crash occurred:

12-21-2020, 7:41 am

12-26-2020, 7:27 am

12-31-2020, 7:05 am

01-04-2021, 7:40 am

01-08-2021, 7:24 am

01-11-2021, 7:00 am

The regularity with which this error occurs is striking! On the days not listed, by the way, the same transfer runs without any problems. The problem occurs regularly only every 3-5 days.

Edit (01-11-2021): Today the WiFi crash occurred even without a transfer. Just like that while the smartphone was on standby. It apparently has nothing to do with the data transfer.

If the connection is lost, WiFi remains on, but not a single WiFi network is found anymore, the list is empty:

View attachment 5180923

If I then manually switch WiFi off and on again straight away, all access points are found instantly and the smartphone also connects to my network immediately:

Are there others who have a similar or the same problem while transferring larger amounts of data via WiFi?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Exodusnick:
@Waifuist

You are wrong here the rom here is a normal rom for the users who groove gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] fipsy:
The opening post of this thread still references the 12-11-2020 version. Please only comment on this version from Ivan Meler in this thread and not on others, otherwise it will be total chaos here!!!!

Some reported problems with the microphone here. I can now also confirm this. In the middle of a phone call, I switched the smartphone from one ear to the other. While I was doing this, the display went to full brightness and the microphone suddenly stopped working. I could still hear the person I was talking to, but she could no longer hear me. I had to end the conversation and call her back, then it worked again. But the automatic control of the display brightness no longer worked. I had to switch it off and on to get it to work again. I've had this happen three times now. So it is also a bug in the current release.

So there are some bugs in this release that don't always occur, but only once in a while. However, if the microphone and WiFi don't work reliably, that's a knockout criterion. Something needs to be done about this. I don't really want to have to wait for Android 18.1 to work reliably. :-/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Exodusnick:
I do not think that it is the Rom but the device because Samsung have installed different components.

Can you remember then there were problems with the camera under los 14.1. Since Samsung had installed two waste cameras. In its S7 versions
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Exodusnick:
Samsung is the problem and not the Rom And that is my opinion .
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] fipsy:
That's right, both camera modules in the S7 are really crap. Significantly worse than the one in the S5. But if the whole thing is a hardware problem, it should occur in all Android versions. Does it do that?

I could imagine it might be a Kernel problem too. Are there any custom kernels that could be tested together with this Rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ctrlfir3:
If this ROM is stable, why isn't it on the official Lineage OS website?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] fipsy:
As you can read in the last few posts, it is unfortunately not stable. If phone calls are interrupted due to the microphone problem and the WiFi connection is lost, you cannot speak of stable.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] backtotopic:
I don't experience any problems with the current version. No echos in calls, no interrupted calls or any problems with bluetooth-speaker or headsets, no lost WiFi-connections at all. I think, many user don't have any problems and just don't report it here - but this could be a usefull information for those, who look for a new custom ROM.

Thank you Ivan!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] fipsy:
I don't have an echo either, but I have problems with the microphone. I think the same problems have just been reported a little too often to be ascribed to chance. If so many people have the same problem or when it occurs very regularly and frequently, it cannot be a coincidence.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] magatxda:
I installed the latest version. All apps relying on fingerprints (that is a guess) had to erase data and enroll again, although I removed the fingerprint and deleted the file in data directory.

This happened also on applications with strange security practices, e.g. bank applications where I don't use fingerprint (because it wasn't proposed).

Did this (on my test device), but could not start because decryption was not possible. Only offered option was to "erase all data", factory reset.

Reinstalling the December build made it work again.

So is this update incompatible with an encrypted phone and needs a clean install? Or am I doing something wrong?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bachemj:
Reply to myself... This has been discussed on Telegram, dirty flash with encrypted /data will not work with this release. Full backup, upgrade, restore it is.

The offered "erase all data" will not even work. You have to use recovery to format /data (Wipe / Advanced / Format data in TeamWin).

Hey guys,

I'm still on the December build.

It worked just fine for 1 or 2 weeks, but then it somehow lost its mobile data (Germany, congstar/Deutsche Telekom). That was one week ago, and it hasn't come back. The icon at the top indicates that there is network access (2-3 bars) though.

WiFi works flawlessly.

I've tested

- reboot

- flight mode

- switching between 4G and 2G

- SIM card out/in

- without SD card (128 GB, SanDisk)

Any more suggestions?

I'm thinking about installing the same ROM again. Is there a way to do this without losing all my settings etc.?

Any help will be gladly appreciated. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Kippy51:
Maybe your APN settings got lost somehow. Just re-flash the ROM. Then clear cache and dalvik and reboot. Nothing gets lost that way.

Hello,

I tried to change from Stock Rom to LOS v17.1, but LOS tires to boot, the animated LOS Logo shows up, but after some couple of minutes boot procedure was halted and phone resets it self and afterwards it boots into TWRP.

I formatted data, wiped cache, dalivk, internal storage and system, rebooted into TWRP and then i did a clean flash of LOS 17.1 (download link from the first post), but after rebooting the same behavior will show up as above mentioned and ends up in a reset and boot into TWRP recovery.

I did flash the 'no-verity-opt-encrypt-samsung-1.0.zip' (https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754474353) when I booted into TWRP the first time. is it neccessary to install this zip when I format data or wipe the system partition??

TWRP: twrp-3.2.3-0-herolte.img (flashed with Odin)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] TomRon:
so I installed twrp-3.5.0_9-0-herolte.img.tar result same behavior.

instead of gapps I took Min MicroG, is it really necessary to install GApps? could this be the issue with the first boot?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] fipsy:
What about omitting no-verity-opt-encrypt-samsung-1.0.zip? I did not need that for TWRP or this Rom to run.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] RickBH:
I have 4 Galaxy S7 phones (930W8) and one of them boots back to TWRP no matter what i have tried. I tried for a few months with no success. The other 3 work fine with 17.1 so it is probably something hardware related on the phone.

Try Ivan's 18.1. The phone will boot that with no problem and apparently the ROM works fairly well. I do not use it for my main phone so I cannot say everything works. I would recommend updating TWRP to at least 3.3.1.

I have installed this ROM LOS 17.1 with microG ( https://android-freaks.de/forum/thr...r-samsung-s7-flat-edge-via-ota-by-exodusnick/) which seems to be a patched derivate of this ROM, and it booted right up after installation. So as you mentioned there must be some hardware related issue.

Is the no-verity-opt mandatory? As I understood is it only to prevent automatic encryption of the data partition, or am I wrong with this?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] RickBH:
