Been using this and noticed hpsa reception is worse for some reason, any tips? I can't get lte in my basement but exodus nick's nougat rom worked well for me, I wonder what's going on with this rom? Any recommended secret reception priority settings for bell cda?

Also noticed brightness control on status bar w gravity box only works once then not after - was fine in 14.1. Is it a conflict between lineage and gravitybox options?

Otherwise quite nice and smooth.

Would be nice to get vertical recent list back... The horizontal list is annoying! Boo android unnecessary changes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
way signal is reported has changed in android so, try checking signal strenght from settings, also xposed modules in general can cause compatibility issues so no idea, as for recents there was a trick to enable old recents by setting some android go props but i wouldn't recommend that
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] dougw_:
@Ivan_Meler Do you have a repo for reporting bugs and receive feedback from users? This thread can get a little bit overwhelming when searching for information, so, having a place to post issues and ask questions directly would help a lot.

Anyway, looking at previous comments from other users, it's not clear if the problem of echo in calls is still present and in what circunstaces could happen. Is it during normal calls? Wifi calls? With message apps (Signal, WhatsApp) too?

I'm asking you directly because sometime ago you mentioned that the problem could be related to some proprietary code from Samsung and its not clear if it's something you can address.

Thanks for your work, having a ROM with this much attention dedicated to it is a pleasant surprise

Hello community,

On my SM-G930F I switched to this LoS 18.1 after +1yr happy usage of Ivan's version of LoS 17.

ROM is really good, I noticed several performance improvements and I am overall satisfied but I noticed that sometimes phone remains stuck in block screen, especially when I get Whatsapp notifications, forcing me to hard reboot. Anyone else got this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Mr_Biggles:
Has anyone else been using Footej Camera 2 with this ROM? I had it working no problem up until the 20210804 ROM update and then I could no longer install it. It stopped showing up in the Play store for this device and stalls out when I try to re-install the backup through TiBu.

About October security update and Android 12

October update for android 11 should be out on monday which is also release date for android 12

After figuring out 12 source android 11 and 10 roms will still be updated but most developement will move to 12.

Keep in mind it might take few weeks before we have first usable build as I do this in my free time free of charge

with help of donations of couse to cover a build server cost and get me coffee, Nonetheless s7 will live to see yet another android version after samsung abandoned it on oreo

Big thanks to everyone who supported this project so far as its only thanks to them that its still alive and being regularly updated (mostly due to build server coost)

Enjoy your weekend and stay safe
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] grako122:
I am using the latest release and everything works perfectly fine (except for the echo). Thanks so much for keeping it updated!

So far I've been running it without gapps. If I wanted to get gapps installed again, how would I go about doing that?

Can I just dirty flash the rom again followed by the gapps?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] schiff1108:
I am asking for help or advice.

I have used LOS 16 for S7 build 30 for a longer time. Again, thanks to Ivan for this great ROM. Recently I have decided to migrate to an Android 11 ROM. However, I am struggeling with the upgrade process.

After I have flashed the most current ROM & GAPPS there is a message "Decryption unsuccessful. The password you entered is correct but your data is corrupt. ... You need to perform a factory reset. "

Background:

1) I have encrypted the phone some while ago with no problems at all.

2) I have replaced the sim card before I have flashed the new ROM.

3) I have not performed a factory resert before flashing the new ROM. I have only wiped Davlik and Cache".

Current sitatuion: When I press the button "Erase all data" a box appears with "Factory data reset. Restarting...."

This box stays for about 20 min, then I can see the Samsung S7 screen and then opens TWRP sreens for a few seconds try to run a recovery script. After this I see the same screen as explained above.

I have tried both options.

1) pressing the 3 buttons w/ power down. Screen "Decrytion unsuccesful" showing up.

2) pressing the bittons w/ power up. No reaction.

Can anybody give me an advice how to fix this problem?

hi Ivan,

thank you for your precious work.

The echo cancellation works almost perfectly, only a weak echo can be heard from conversation partners ... but I still miss two things in the developer options

- the option "kill app back button" - must to have

- the option "boot into recovery" - nice to have

Both options were default in older LOS versions.

:good::good::good:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] migudent:

Dialer not showing up

Hey,

I kinda have a problem and don't really know how to fix it. The dialer is not showing when i am in a call. It starts the screen but it doesn't appear on the foreground which is kinda strange

Hope you guys can help

Also ivan i really like 18. I went straight from 16 to 18 because 17.1 didn't work on my phone. Don't know why but that doesn't really matter.

Greetings,

Kevin

Ps: this is the screen that doesn't show up. I didn't have a screenshot ready otherwise i would have uploaded that

Update: i have the same problem when being called. the whole screen doesn't show up. even the the answer and decline button don't appear

You can use stable LOS 17. I think that LOS 18 will be in alpha/beta for several months.

You'll never get Samsung camera quality with LOS as the Samsung framework is closed source.

sometimes the smartphone freezes, mostly when i get a notification, maybe its because of notification, maybe not

only a hardreboot (3 buttons hold to restart into twrp for example) help to get it back working

i passed latest twrp through the official app. now I'm going back to another rom. magisk worked fine.

Is the echo problem during calls still present? I've been following the thread for some time to be aware if this was not a hindrance anymore.

(For those who have it, does it happen during any type of call? Even from chat apps?)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Thomasfp:
Why is this ROM updated if it is not usable because there is an echo on connections? So the phone does not fulfill its basic function because it is impossible to talk

Strange. I have only flashed this ROM and gapps... Nothong else.

Anyhow. How can i get back to TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Roberto W.:
you should have been more careful with the installation. during setup you can choose whether you want to install the lineage recovery.

just flash twrp again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Roberto W.:
I have rather few echoes. i have been using this rom for a long time and every day. it fulfills all of its basic functions.

if u want a perfect running rom, u need to stay on stock rom with its samsung owned framework.

Some progress updates on android 12, I got it compiled and while it does try to start kernel needs a lot of backports for cgroup to not kill processes and actually work, this will take some time but progress is steadily being made, Once again no etas yet as i do this in my free time

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] frhe:
Had the same problems, only I've no idea if it was because of a notification, it's not exactly a freeze as much as the phone's just stuck in the lock-screen, your buttons still work, but don't do anything (when you long press power-off the phone still vibrates but no power-off), and you don't have to use 3 buttons, only 2, volume_down + power, I've already posted the last kernel log in my last message, in this thread it seems 3 people including me and you experienced this.

How did you do?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] S7fb1:
I had this as well going from stock and found if I format all internal sd partitions and then install dm verity, if I then install this rom, then it worked.

I think you have to do it all in one session from twrp.

Dm verity file can be downloaded elsewhere on xda.

This is my hypothesis of what I did to get it working as I had tried so many things...

Edit maybe it was actually "no verity" package as per https://www.thecustomdroid.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] S7fb1:
I figured out that for bell Canada if you change in phone information (dial *#*#4636#*#*), change preferred network to lte/wcdma and it works better for calls in poor reception areas like basement etc, it swaps over to a better voice call network when you make calls in low reception then goes back to lte after.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] S7fb1:
There's a gcam apk available on xda for S7 that works nicely.

Another progress update on Android 12 i tracked down all needed kernel commits and they include complete BPF and cgroup backports from new kernels

There are also some good news, I booted android 12 on my s10 to see if any device tree changes will be needed and there were only few changes needed to get everything working in same state as it was on android 11 so once i sort kernel out build should actually be stable, Once again no etas yet as this is quite a large backport to kernel and big thanks to everyone who got me coffe on PayPal as it really helps when fighting with kernel haha

Hi @Ivan_Meler, using LOS 18.1 rather happily. After echo issue solved even more happily :)

Could you do a fix for the camera issue? Camera loses functionality everytime under these scenarios:

- after approx. 10 minutes video call in whatsapp, OR

- after a few minutes of video recording (any app), OR

- after dozen pictures taken by the camera (any app)

The only solution so far is device restart. Then camera works until - see above.

This is NOT a hardware issue, I tested on two different S7 devices with (otherwise) perfectly working camera.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Rainerber:
I also notice a problem with build-in camera app and flash (automatic mode).

The click noise appears after the flash disappears and a rather dark picture is stored. Also a message (open camera error id =0)

appears on the screen. If no flash is necessary (in automatic mode) everything is OK.

With Open Camera this problem didn't happend. Version 18.1-20211005

I've just moved from 17.1 and I'm finding my battery life is awful! It goes from 75% to 15% in about 3-4 hours, consistently. I replaced my battery about 4 months ago, so I doubt it's that, especially since I was going fine before I flashed this rom. Has this happened to anyone else?

Any known fixes? I thought perhaps it's just reading the capacity wrong but it still takes just as long to charge, and gets a bit warm when running. Maybe I should just flash the rom again, I dunno.

Probably worth mentioning I also have the echo issue, just as I did with 17.1. I just deal with it by plugging in headphones.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Exodusnick:
This rom will not be official because it does not meet the requirements of lineageos team and secondly lineageos does not support singnature spoofing. Unfortunately this like rom has this.

To get it officially must be given all the requirements which unfortunately are not present. And honestly it doesn't matter if it comes from Ivan directly or via lineageos server. Ivan does a good job and you can trust this rom.

Hey @Ivan_Meler, I know this is too early on, but taking in consideration that the echo problem is something that wasn't solved in this ROM, is it maybe a problem that we can expect to happen in the android 12 version due to technical limitations?
