[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] ananjaser1211:
Read this F.A.Q While the rom is Downloading.

NOTES :

- After installation, leave your phone to build and optimize caches. which can take upto 15 minutes on clean flash. your phone will be HOT at this stage. If DirtyFlashing, it can take upto 30mins

- Clean flash is always recommended to avoid issues especially with this release! if you faced weird issues/blackscreens/freezes a clean flash is recommended without smartswitch / samsungcloud restore

- Encryption instructions can be found above in the INSTALL STEPS SECTION

V8.0 Related F.A.Q :

Q : Should i use Enforcing ? What is it ? How to enable it ?

A :

- Selinux Enforcing can be enable by ticking ENFORCING option in AROMA installer

- Enforcing provides much more security and restrictions to android processes

- Enforcing will allow you to bypass MOST root detection and will allow many Banking apps to work again

- If you want to use ROOT + Enforcing You now have the option to use KernelSU which evades most detections, and is the recommended way to root

- Enforcing ONLY works in the included Cronos Kernel, and will be disabled if you change kernels

Q : Should i use Encryption ? How ?

A :

- Encryption is the strongest layer of security on modern devices, and especially on custom ROMs

- Internal Storage / Data partition will be blocked off from external access via TWRP

- The only way to un-encrypt the device would be by formatting internal storage, losing all data on it

- Encryption is standard on stock, and we usually disable it to flash custom ROMs, however with Floyd V8 you can have your cake and eat it too

- Encryption means if you brick your ROM, and a dirty flash did not fix it and it required a data wipe, your data will be gone!

Encryption Guide :​

back up your internal storage, encryption will complexly format it

After the ROM has been flashed, Format Data in My TWRP_3.7 as show in the image below

[*]

[*]

Flash FloydQ_Encryption.zip found in the download section

Reboot > System, Your phone will now boot to setup wizard, fully encrypted and secure!

Note : Encryption means you will NOT be able to access DATA or InternalStorage in TWRP at all! if you wish to do that you have to perform the same format step, erasing all data on the device

If for any reason you brick the ROM installation, and a dirty flash does not fix it, your DATA will be gone!

Whenever you re-flash FloydROM while data is encrypted, you MUST flash FloydQ_Encryption otherwise you wont be able to boot into the encrypted data

Q : Note 7 Iris ?

A :

- Iris can be registered and enabled on Note 7 However it is still experimental, and is prone to causing a random reboot every few days

- A test workaround is disabling "Screen on Iris Recognition"

- In order to have IRIS Flash light torch intensity has been disabled, instead the torch will run at max brightness always

Q : Notes App / Screen off memo not working on note 7

A : The APP may FC on the first open only, then it will work normally

Q : Games are Laggy/Pix-elated/Stutter/sucks/crashes

A : Open GameLauncher > Top Left menu > Game Performance > Set Game performance to "Focus on PowerSaving" : Video

- Disable AUTO UPDATES for GameOptimizingService and GameTools in Galaxy Apps!

Q : Phone is not charging / Discharging while charging

A : OneUI 2.5 Disables charging if the battery temperature exceeds 42C

Q : How to get Root with KernelSU ?

A : Make sure you have selected KernelSU in Aroma

- Then Download KSU Manager 0.7 or newer from here (Press Show All xx Assets then look for .apk)

- Open KSU App, press on superUser, search for the app you want, tick Superuser

Q : How to get Root With Magisk ?

A : Download Magisk and follow instructions (V23.0 Is recommended if you root + easy magisk hide. rename .apk to .zip and flash via twrp if your version is old)

Q : SafetyNet ?

A : The ROM Already contains bypasses and fixes for Safetynet without the need of magisk, however if you root, you must enable HIDE to restore Hiding for many apps

Q : KnoxPatch ?

A : The ROM Already contains patches needed for Knox, Secure Folder, WorkProfile SHEALTH and any possible to bypass application

V6.0 / V7.0 F.A.Q :

OneUI 2.5 Related Notes

- These are issues that are caused by OneUI 2.5 , that i have no power over to fix.

1) Google Chrome sutter/freeze : github

2) AllowedDevices list in hotspot : Github

3) goodlock SountAssistant might limit audio : Github

Q : Should i use Enforcing ? What is it ? How to enable it

A :

- Selinux Enforcing can be enable by ticking ENFORCING option in AROMA installer

- Enforcing adds restrictions and does not just allow anything to access anything

- Enforcing will allow you to bypass MOST root detection and will allow many Banking apps to work again

- If you want to use ROOT + Enforcing you are likely to need Magisk Hide (magisk v23) / Denylist (V24+) to retain banking apps etc

- Selinux Enforcing is still "Testing" phase, but it should be stable for now

- Settings does not show Selinux status, to know status you can type "getenforce" in terminal emulator

- Enforcing ONLY works in the included Cronos V7.0 Kernel, and will be disabled if you change kernels

Q : Random Audio Muting new workaround

A : Incase you are still unlucky and get muting, in dialer type *#0*# and press speaker. this will restore your audio without rebooting

Q : Heavy battery usage / Drain

A : A recommendation i mentioned in my group (aside from boring calibration) is to charge your phone while its powered off multiple times.

I.e whenever possible, charge your phone to 100 when its turned off.

on oneui 2+ for some reason the battery charges from ~90 to 95% only, like there is a gap, which sometimes go as far as to 85% (system says 100% but if you charge offline it will be less than 100%)

i started doing that recently and SOT on my S7 went from barley hitting 3 to hitting over 4 hours sometimes (with light usage tho)

more info on the bug here https://github.com/ananjaser1211/FloydQ_Reports/issues/196 , i have not found a way to fix it yet

Q : phone crashes overnight (Green LED only)

A : There is no 100% method that works out of the box for "Everyone" However using the device for a day or two usually eliminates the issue fully. other workarounds include limiting charging capacity to 99% as shown below

- To recover from this crash, long press volume down and power for 10 seconds until the phone reboots

- This issue mostly happens on fresh clean installs, and goes away after few days of usage

- Having AOD or ScreenSaver might reduce the issue (in my case it did)

- Best suggestion is to either Not charge overnight for the first few days of the installation, or charge the phone while its powered off

- limiting charging capacity to 99% seems to be the best option if you want a fix right away, you can do that by using MagiskModule ACC (adaptive charging controller) module + Its config app

Q : GCAM Support?

A : You have to use Android Q compatible GCAM Otherwise it will be stuck at processing, This version of UnixCamera by @mark199850 is supported. install it then go into camera settings and restart the gcam app

Q : How to Adjust/Disable level of touch key vibration ?

A : Go to settings > Sound and vibration > Vibration Intensity > Increase or decrease Touch Interaction (lowest will disable vibration)

Q : How to Disable keylight without enabling PowerSaving ?

A : Use this app to configure key light time out settings GalaxyButtons

Q : Does this support X?

A : This ROM supports All Exynos8890 devices (S7/S7E Note7 and Note7FE) and does not support Snapdragon models

Q : I have Symlinks error / Rom wont go past splash

A : As the AROMA Told you, don't pick all the bloat. and use default settings if you don't know otherwise

A : If you previously installed Treble, and did not flash revert, Now is a good time. Your system might be too small

Q : Device is running too hot

A : If it was just set-up, Give it time and make sure everything is up-to-date.

Q : What to do after the rom is setup ?

A : Go to samsung apps, let the phone update everything except game booster

Q : My phone does NOT boot help pls

A : Ensure you have LATEST bootloader and modem installed, did all the wipes, and did your house chores.
