Hello, Ivan!

I should say, this is a beautiful work. I never had such a smooth experience when it comes to CM/LineageOS (or any custom ROM, for instance) before. It was all smooth sailing from the install at TWRP to the daily usage. Really. Nicely done.

There's, however, a strange little bug which gets me somewhat upset when it happens: sometimes, after a while running, the notification light just stops working. Restarting the system makes it operational again.

Other than that, the experience is very good. There's some small bugs (like the AOD sometimes popping on despite being disabled), but nothing affecting the experience all that much.

Is there any possible fix or workaround for that issue with the notification led, though?

Thanks!

Hello

For several days now, the phone's battery has only been charged to 75%. What is wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] azerty9971:
In the settings, there is a toggle to protect the battery that makes it charge up to 75% then stops. I guess this is your "issue" ;)

August builds are up

If you are wondering why those before 19.1, well google messed up and didnt push full august security update source for android 12.1 yet so those builds will be released next week.

There are not too many changes as im still working on a huge rewrite of hals now that i have fully working s7 which is shaping up nicely but it takes time those new hals will work on both 18.1 and 19.1 and next lineageos version.

Also android 13 is just around the corner (Probably next month) and from what i can see s7 is ready for it which will give us yet another android version to play with

As always huge thanks to everyone who supported this project and helped cover the build server cost and got me coffee with donations.

Sorry, if this has been asked before:

Can I take photos in raw mode with this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] xiaojie99:
Thanks for your excellent work.

I have a concern that seems to be going on since basically all previous versions and still exists. I use the S7 phone mainly for phone calls and persons beeing called complain because of the annoying echo. Is that due to just my S7?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] nimc23:
Hello everyone

I just installed this version and it's pretty good! thanks for the work!

However, I have a problem with the fingerprint

I can unlock the device with it but it seems no app can use it...

any suggestions on how to fix this?

another minor issue: android auto can't work with this version?

Should I try version 19 to fix this problem?

thank you for your help :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] kiwidudeNZ:
Hi This issue was reported many times previously with no fix offered (to my knowledge). the only way Ive found around this is to reboot your phone on a daily basis to get you blue flashing notification light back.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] kiwidudeNZ:
Hi

I've reported this issue myself on two separate occasions with very little feedback from developers. Ive also tried a number of the lineage builds and have found that from a pure phone call audio perspective on both 3g and 4g that version 17.1 seems to have the best phone call sound quality. 18.1 isn't to bad but I do get some people complaining of the echo issue now and again. 19, 19.1 seems pretty bad with echo and overall call quality and "clicking sounds" and volume being rubbish. I've not tried lineage 20 or above yet.

If you get a response youre doing better than me. good luck :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] nimc23:
ok little update on my previous problems :

I have tried to reinstall everything from scratch and fingerprint is ok on all applications :)

I might have forgotten previously a step on the format options in twrp.

for android auto, it was coming from my gapps configuration.

that version works fine!

thank you

Huge thanks to everyone who supported this project, helped cover the build server cost and got me coffee. This project wouldnt be possible wihtout them.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] ChrWig:
I am having trouble getting this running on my S7 edge. While LOS seems to install OK, the setup gets stuck in 'Just a sec' and there are messages about 'Google play store keeps stopping'

I am using TWRP 3.6.2_9.0 and installing from an SD card

What I have been trying is the following steps:

Wipe -> Factory Reset

Wipe -> Format Data

Install lineage-18.1-20230105-UNOFFICIAL-hero2lte.zip

(sometimes I tried also factory reset and format data between the install of LOS and Gapps as well, and even rebooting back into TWRP)

Install NikGapps-nikgapps-kz-arm64-13-20230120-signed.zip

Reboot

Is there a step I am missing? Or should I be using some other version of NikGapps (or Gapps in general) that is more specific for LOS18.1 or hero2lte?

(When I started this I was trying to install LOS 19.1 and while I got a bit further, it then got stuck when setting up the google stuff. Hence I thought maybe it was better to go back an Android version to see if this would work better)

Any help appreciated

Chris
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] steve8x8:
I think NikGapps 13 is for Android 13 = LineageOS 20, not 18.x ...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] ChrWig:
Thanks, Steve! Exactly right. I find the different numbering/letters rather confusing.

Anyway, that got me much further and it got through a lot of the setup including using my gmail account to connect to google play. However now the phone seems to get stuck with the message:

"Phone is starting"

And never seems to get out.

What I have installed is:

lineage-18.1-20230105-UNOFFICIAL-hero2lte.zip

NikGapps-full-arm64-11-20220908-signed.zip

Some searching showed that some people had this problem connected with Magisk, which I had not yet installed. I then installed

Magisk-v22.0.apk

but this did not change the behaviour - still stuck on "Phone is starting"

Any help appreciated - it seems so close to working!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ex novo:
Here I am using LineageOS 19 with NikGapps-core-arm64-12.1 and everything is working great. Clean again (wipe system, cache, etc - I don't remember exactly why I'm using LineageOS recovery) and instead of wipe select Format data and reinstall the ROM with NickGapps core instead of full. The latest version of Magisk is 25.2 and I always install after booting and configuring the ROM. You can find the latest version of Magisk here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk. Avoid downloading Magisk from other places as you might end up with a modified version with Malware.

Never wipe the EFS partition that contains the device's IMEI. By the way, you should make a EFS backup with TWRP and keep it in a safe place.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] steve8x8:
@Ex novo is right - when facing such issues one has to clean as much as possible. It hurts (a lot) to erase (format, "yes") data, and it should become a habit to erase (wipe) system.

Magisk doesn't (or rather shouldn't) have an effect on the boot process, and it certainly cannot fix it. As for the recovery - if you're going for TWRP I'd recommend to use 3.6.1 although that's not the newest and shiniest one.

Beyond that I can only support @Ex novo 's suggestions - backup often, and save backups to a remote place. (BTW I've seen cases where backups become unreadable after changing the recovery version - I'm not sure whether that's an intended feature. If you found one that works, keep it. You may have to upgrade when going for Android 14 or 15 though.)
