[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] ananjaser1211:
FloydQ V7.0

Floyd Q Port V7.0 For the Exynos8890​

V7.0 Release Notes :-

Its only fitting to release V7 in July isn't it. The ROM is 2 years old and still has an active following which blows my mind. id like to say thanks to all the users for your support all this time, and especially a big thanks to the testing team who stuck by me for this long.

Between my university, life and other projects, i haven't had consistent time to work on the ROM, i have updated it to the latest note 9 release (which is the last one by samsung) with May 2022 Security patch. Ive done some work on the kernel and base to remove some of the issues caused in V6, added a bunch of new fixes we gathered over time and from the note 8 Q project. and just overall tidy up the ROM, there is still some work left to do, but i dont want to delay V7 any further, if/when we do another version, it will contain more experimental fixes that didn't make it here.

I have done some changes to audio, which may be better or worse on the long run, hopefully to the better, the rom only had couple months of testing with a very small test group, so i wouldn't say its bullet proof. RAM, Camera Audio and overall stability has been worked on, and hopefully this reflects in real usage. ive only used the S7 to play a couple games and use some social media, as it is not my daily driver.

So far the black screen / alarm issue has not been commonly reported, neither did audio muting, however i cant rule out that it was fully fixed until it is tested by much more people. incase you still face these issues, open new reports on github

Overall i hope this new version works better for everyone, we reached the peak of what we can fix back in V6 and that was quite underwhelming, so hopefully with this new release Exynos8890 gets a new lease on life, atleast when it comes to OneUI

And no, i do not think we will ever see a OneUI 3 public release, it is simply too buggy to even look at.

Thanks everyone for your continuous support throughout the years.

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

- When upgrading from V6 to V7 some users faced FCs, and issues using internal data / taking screenshots and instability / freeze mainly while using enforcing option, for those users, you must format data in TWRP (Wipe > format data > YES) this will clear all of internal data which contains incompatible data from V6.

i would again advise for a full clean flash when upgrading to V7

F.A.Q :

V7.0 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 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 : 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 : Infinity wallpapers ?

A : Infinity wallpapers were removed due to out of date S9+ Builds, as samsung no longer ships updates for it

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

Q : Phone is not charging / Discharging while charging

A : Check your battery temperature, OneUI 2 wont charge when your battery is above 42C. there is no bypass to this

Q : How to get Root ?

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
