Tried a different phone with clean install of the latest with NikGapps basic and NikGapps SetupWizard. Boots with a warning that Setup Wizard keeps quitting. If I try the Wizard again the phone just goes to a black screen and locks up there. I am able to turn the phone off and get back to TWRP. FlameGapps Full works with no problem. This is the third S7 that shows this problem (all G930W8). I will try downloading NikGapps again to see if there is a problem with that
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] RickBH:
Tried clean install with new downloads of NikGapps basic and Device Setup and all works with no problems. Don't know what happened with the old ones but all is well now.

i found a bug where you can't record a video, i tried footej camera and it still can't record, other than that it's stable!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Robert7x:
Hi there,

Is there still hope that this annoying problem with speech volume and echo when making calls can ever be resolved?

With every new update I format everything, so reset the device completely and hope that I can finally make good calls with it, but without success!

It's a pity otherwise everything works great, but if you can't make a call with a cell phone, none of that makes sense, or am I missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] downhere:
I can confirm this.

Video recording using Footej 2 ends with error messages. Log is attached.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] kris_l:
Hi i can't make calls(no service). I'm on U8ETI2 bootloader but i have old modem version G930FXXU1DQF2. Could it happens because of old modem? Can you give link for recent one?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] K2silver:
Great work! Love it!

So I clean flashed

ROM

Magisk

NikGapps

When rebooting back into system I was met with Decryption Unsuccessful message prompting for a factory reset. Is this normal do I just continue?

Or am I supposed to also flash the opt-verify-encrypt atfer all this?

EDIT: tried format data in TWRP this time as I tried searching forum for others who may have had same issue and it WORKED! just had to format data to remove encryption issue
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] peacebyacting:
Hi everybody Hi Ivan ! It's a very nice work you've done here. The only thing that doesn't seems to work is Volte and VoWifi on my samsung G930F. Is that normal? I read somewhere else that Samsung had some proprietary implementations of theses features. I'm wondering if it could be fixed. Thanks for all your work!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] downhere:
Re: VoLTE/VoWifi - it's not implemented on AOSP/LOS ROMs and probably won't as it's Samsung's closed source. If you need it, you'd use Samsung stock ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] peacebyacting:
Ok dude thank's for you're answer
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] K2silver:
UPDATE: IDK if anyone else had this issue BUT

Magisk Safetynet would NOT pass CTS profile, basic integrity would PASS if I enabled Magisk Hide, then in order to have the other one pass and have device certified in Google Play Store I had to download 2 modules from Magisk

BusyBox for ANdroid NDK

MagiskHide Props config

+ safetynet-fixv.1.1.1 and

linux terminal emulator for andorid.

Once in emulator issue SU command

props

select "Edit Device Fingerprint" *(should be #1)

select "Pick a Certified Fingerprint"

then select your phone manufacture

select phone model

reboot

Then Safetynet will pass and device is certificated in Play Store too!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] downhere:
No problems with Play Store and Magisk (21405) here. I didn't check Safetynet, but just hid the Google stuff using Magisk Hide.

In the changelog it said that battery life got drastically improved and to my suprise this isn't overstated. Battery life is f***ing amazing right now!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Robert7x:
Hi,

have you been able to fix the echo problem, or do you no longer make calls with this device? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] chomsky55:
I only make Signal calls with the S7. It's pretty much impossible to use the S7 as my daily driver because with normal phone calls people can't hear me half of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Robert7x:
So with Signal the speakers and microphone work perfectly?

Is the problem then perhaps due to the integration of the telephone app itself? Or is it known anyway what causes the error, it just cannot be eliminated?

Can anyone please provide information on this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] chomsky55:
With Signal the speaker and microphone work properly, there is an echo when using the speaker though. I figured it could be the radio/modem but after flashing a couple with Odin and not noticing any difference I gave up.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Robert7x:
You mean the hands-free phone call, right?

Does the echo problem occur again with the other party or do you hear it on your device?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] chomsky55:
Yes hands free and the other party has the echo issue for me the sound is clear.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] GorfDroid:
Everything works for me with the lastest build. I don't get any call problems either.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Helmy José:
Hi, how can I install the January 24 update without dying trying to bootloop.Thank you thank you very much
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] chomsky55:
If you are coming from pre January 2021 build remove fingerprints and delete /data/system/locksettings.db this is needed due to mobicore version change which helped fix fingerprint with 3rd party secure apps
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] kase2804:
Great work so far Ivan!

I have two issues/wishes:

The internet is unstable while using vpn (Nord vpn). it stops working, and i have to refresh the vpn connection. I'll upload a log when it happens again

Could you implement a call recorder to the rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] StanWiz:
Worked for me - dirty flash from 17.1 . lost a few installed apps in the process but that was to be expected. Thanks for sharing
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] StanWiz:
Worked like a charm ( last time I tried this the S7 wasn't on the Certified Fingerprint list)- tks

Great work!

I just have one issue with WPA3: If WPA2+WPA3 is anabled at my WLAN router (Fritz!Box) phone tries to connect with WPA3 but fails. Only way to resolve this is to set my router to WPA2 only.

With 17.1 phone was connecting with WPA2 even if router was configured with WPA2+WPA3.

Is there anything I can do to have Wifi connection with WPA2+WPA3 router setting?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] iankelly2001:
I'm still on 17.1. Is it now possible to set "long press back button" to kill apps in the latest version of 18.1? I recall reading this was missing from earlier versions of 18.1.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] StanWiz:
Kill apps is not available from the action selection dropdown.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sooperior:
Usually you have to enable this option in the developer menu. More or less at the end of the options
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] RickBH:
For those who are asking about an echo and have not received a reply. I tried both 17.1 and 18.1. There is still a little echo and both seem about the same. It is less noticeable if you lower the phone volume. Overall sound quality is good but not great. A little lispy and some way to change the high frequency levels would help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Mr.cyrux:
So the echo is only on hands free call and not on normal calls right?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] RickBH:
The echo is heard by the other party on regular phone calls for me. You can still be understood from what I have seen but there is a small echo there.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Mr_Biggles:
Regular phone calls for me as well. The suggestions about lowering call volume worked for me. Echo seems to be reduced enough that no one has complained from the other end.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Mr_Biggles:
My wifi loses connection at times when the phone is sleeping. The drop down setting says wifi is on but nothing is in range. The main wifi is stuck on "Searching for networks". Shutting the wifi off and turning it back on doesn't help. I have to restart the phone. Setting it to "Wifi turns back on automatically" doesn't change the behaviour. Happens once a day or more.

Has anyone else run into this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] mushbert:
Clean flash of SM-G930W8 with the 18.1-20210124 build:

- NikApps Core installed with no issues

- SafetyNet CTS pass after Magisk Hide enabled and fingerprint prop selected (the stock one from this device did not appear to work).

Observations:

- UMTS call quality is poor. The remote party comes through clearly, but whomever is using this ROM comes through with high sibilance & sounds like they have a severe lisp. Enabling the speakerphone resulted in a full-volume echo on the other party's end of the call, which was only slightly reduced by reduction of the S7's speaker volume. Switching dialer app did not have any effect, but the problem does not seem to occur in apps using data (Hangouts was tested).

- So far, there have been a few random force closes, but they have not repeated themselves.

- Transferring over SMS/MMS history led to very buggy performance in AOSP Messaging and Google Messages, will need to clear the database and retry.

Overall, great progress. The call quality is a big issue... If it was on the ROM user's end it would be acceptable, but forcing everyone you call to endure it would be obnoxious.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Steelskinz:
Great work Ivan ! Thanks a lot ! It will revive the S7 again :cowboy:

Will wait a bit as i'm very satisfy about the speed of my MicroG LOS 17.1 but i will follow that thread with attention (y)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] pumori:
+1 same here. would be nice having some info what the problem really is. Many other devices on AOSP suffer this problem
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] pumori:
The strange thing is: I have the echo over normal call (Ear) but NOT over the loudspeaker where it would be expected. Defenitely a driver issue in my eyes (partially missing echo cancellation)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ytccts:
Same issue only one time.

After restating phone the problem does'nt occure anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ytccts:
Hello Ivan,

Thank you for your hard work.

I've flashed this ROM like that:

- Flashed TWRP 3.5.0.9 with Odin 3.14

- Total Wipe (everythings but not the ext-sd card :)

- Reboot recovery

- Flashed 18.1-20210124 build

- Flashed NikApps Core 64

- Reboot recovery

- Flashed Magisk 21.4

- Wipe Dalvik/art

- Reboot System

- SafetyNet CTS pass after Magisk Hide enabled (no fingerprints before this test)

Only for informations, I've noticed some "issues":

Some lag on ext-sdcard access (and some time totally freeze few seconds and show empty folder instead of lots of files inside folder) - no error message.

Android Auto : when plugging the usb cable, the phone freeze a few seconds, then Android auto starts ont he phone, but note on the car. At this moment, the phone is not detected by the car (but before with samsung stock rom, with same phone and same car there was no problem) - no error message.

Max brightness seams to be darker than on stock rom

Thank you for your work for our S7 !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Mr.cyrux:
So maybe i should dont flash this ROM cause i ned the phone also for business.

I will stay on stock, maybe the call issues is fixed sometime. ( i hope cause i want this ROM xD )
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] milanbey:
Thank you Ivan for your efforts and keeping S7 alive!

Among the issues I experience:

- echo when loudspeaker, echo when not loudspeaker but volume >50%

- camera failing, while on whatsapp video call (device restart necessary)

- incoming call sometimes terminates existing call
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ytccts:
An other issue that is very bad trip: incoming call ring very nice, but no command to answer on screen... :eek:. Nothing appear.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] RickBH:
My phone shut off WIFI sometime today as well as data. Rebooting brought it back up. I do not know when it happened but it is a little disconcerting so i am going to go back to 17.1 on my main phone until I know more about what is causing it.

The battery drain was high as well possibly because it was trying to restart the WIFI.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ytccts:
I confirm this problem. Back to 17.1 soon, because to much risk with 18.1 at this moment.

But I still thanks a lot Ivan, because his work maintain S7 alive !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Architect_Kev:
This because the phone isn't automatically set. If you set a standard phone app the problems should go away
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] chomsky55:
I installed a new router yesterday and noticed that this build doesn't support WPA3 on the S7 also the transmit link speed somehow doesn't exceed 54Mbit/s

In comparison my S4 mini supports WPA3 and reaches speeds up to 150Mbit/s.

EDIT

My S7 somehow will only connect to 802.11a which explains the max of 54Mbit/s but I didn't change any settings in the S7 or my router and I'm not able to force a connection in my Fritzbox router or in the phone settings...anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Architect_Kev:
Hey does anyone still have the old build. As of today i have constant stutters and freezes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ytccts:
Thank you, I'll try later, because I'm back on 17.1 and didn't need to set a phone app. But Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tyl:
Weird. In using this last build as daily driver and have only the loudspeaker echo issue -but this is a known issue. No others issues for me.

Please remember to take and post logcats for Ivan when reporting bugs guys :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Architect_Kev:
Strangely it fixed itself i am now gonna find out what caused the problems so ivan could maybe do something about it in a next update.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] psyalemao:
Once again, thank you @Ivan_Meler for the great work on this custom rom!

I have some bugs to report:

-The front camera doesn't allow you to record a video, it doesn't allow to be in video mode at all

-No vulkan API

-By default the rom is generating some file logs at /data/someappname/app_webview/BrowserMetrics. it generates a lot of *.pma files of about 4mb each, I have another device with the same problem as reported here: https://xdaforums.com/t/official-a5xelte-sm-a510f-lineage-os-17-1-for-a5-2016.4036151/post-84191623 seems to be not related to webview/gapps as reported, I deleted the BrowserMetrics folder and it stops generating and spamming the 4mb .pma files.

Uploaded some logcat, kmsg and dmesg.

Best regards.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Robert7x:
It's the same for me.....:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Robert7x:
What about this rom (MicroG LOS 17.1) with regard to echo problem?

:unsure:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tyl:
It IS stable for me.

I think your post isn't helpful. Why would you not instead pm any dev if you have reservations about the way he labels the builds. You're close to becoming a troll buddy. Go easy in xda, be helpful.

Hi everybody, does VoLTE work with this ROM? I couldn't find anything to the contrary in the description on the very first page of this thread.

Thank you in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] psyalemao:
One more bug to report

-If you disable fast charging and restarts the phone, the setting will be on again, it doesn't save the switch setting.

No, IMS services (VoLTE, VoWiFi, etc) Samsung has their own proprietary implementation. It is not really possible to easily port that to LineageOS.

As always big thanks to everyone who donated and helped support this project (It covers coffee and build server cost) and keeping s7 alive with yet another android version 5 years after phones release
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] thorte:
Quick test regarding the support for smart cover cases: Is it possible that you have to change "open" and "close". Display is switched on, when cover is closed, and off, wenn cover is open.

You can use a simple magnet to verify it. Just put a magnet near to the lower left corner of the display, in the area of the menu button. The hall sensor, which detects the smart cover, is located there. Putting the magnet on the sensor switches the display on, removing it switches the display off.

Beside that: Flawless developement until now (y)

Small item but maybe help others. I tried installing Gboard using NikGapps installer and, although it works, the preferences do not. You cannot change the keyboard height. I works fine on 17.1. Also AOSP keyboard has disappeared so I cannot switch back. Simple Keyboard apk works fine.

Hi !

Thanks for the ROM, it's a very nice piece of work!

One thing, however, I can't seem to the microphone working. At all. I can't send voice notes, I can't call. Permissions are correctly set (I believe), it worked on stock-based ROMs, so hardware should be fine. I don't use Gapps, if that matters, only MicroG.

I'm using the latest built (20210205), clean flash.

If someone has some pieces of advice to give, would be awesome, thanks !

Very good

I have installed the rom and at the moment I have not had problems as has happened in other previous roms with the sound, I have not installed google services because more than a month ago they gave me a huawei terminal without google services, I have been making the comparison with another terminal with google services and the battery is consumed more quickly, in that terminal I have decided not to install them and in using google services I have decided on the latest version of aurora store I have installed it and downloaded the applications to through it and see if the battery lasts a little longer.

Great rom to keep making improvements on it good job.
