[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] ananjaser1211:
you can pick STK apps in aroma bloat section

the only confirmed thing is EIS stabilization, i am focusing on audio bs first, so other features will have to wait until i somehow sort this mess out

2. "Installing Updates" this part usually takes 5 minutes on all my phones, not only the S7, i dont know really why its been the case for me since Pie. usually if it gets stuck i just reboot it and its gone, you can also skip it by not connecting to wifi and letting the phone do that by itself later after the initial setup. but i just prefer to wait it out

i am not really sure why 3 happens for you, i personally never had it occurred to me, asked the testers if anyone had the same issue but none so far reported it. so no clue honestly, it seems like the setup wizard is crashing, which should not really happen unless you manually debloated some stuff via twrp but i doubt thats the case.

i use FX Explorer to avoid these issues, android ten and up root mount is restrictive and many apps till this day cant handle it properly. never faced issues with FX, as i use root on it very often for debugging. both / and data/data work fine on my end

your app might be looking into knox status, in this case there isnt much you can do, id try magisk hide but cant guarantee it will work

ill take a look at the app once i have the time and see if i notice anything wrong in the logs.

The muting issue affects all releases, its cause is known, but i have not found a way yet to fix it reliably

you were not dreaming, i tested audio today after the volume scaling patch and it is indeed lower, ill see how we can combat this and keep the patch, worst case scenario we will have to ditch that patch as it is very dirty anyways and seems to cause more issues that it fixes. a workaround to reduce earpiece in W/A calls is to just use moro sound and reduce earpiece gain. not the prettiest but it does not dim all other sounds

BlackDiamond or mkultra N7FE port are your best bet, they should have werabale and payments working just fine

assuming it is probably a bootanimation.zip sequence it will be a bit more difficult to port, ill look into it if i had the time

Adoptable storage is not supported in pie and Q as far as i know, and even if it was, we dont have encryption which it needs. you will have to use apps like APP2SD to manually link your data/obb to external sd

best way to edit prop is to copy it to your internal sdcard or computer, edit the G965F references to G935F. you need to do it for system/system/build.prop and system/system/vendor/build.prop (these are the paths while you are in twrp) , then copy back the file using twrp file manager, and press on each build.prop file and press chmod 0755 to avoid boot loops, tho you really should put it back to G965F as older props break some features

yes this bug was reported earlier, it comes down to our outdated DS4 driver in the kernel, i tried to update it but did not have the time or chance to continue it yet, will see if i do in v6

I am on ETC2, never had the muting issue, but i really dont think its modem related as the issue originates from the audio hal itself in the ROM

Thank you, right now there is no working faceunlock implementation we can add since google ditched trusted face. and we cant port samsung face unlock due to our old security system in the hardware (mobicore)
