I've been using GCam_5.1.018.177470874.41362666__SG7Exy_V8.2.apk

And GCam_5.1.018.177470874.41362666__SG7Exy_V8.3beta.apk

I had to disable in developer options camera.enable_micro - if you get to setting quick, it stops the initial crash

It still stutters on startup but if I click o r go to settings first it can stop it. But I wish I could figure out what causes that initial stutter, it almost looks like a focus detection issue

Image quality is so high that can resign myself to as is I guess.

Edit, been experimenting also with turning off portrait initial zoom setting and some startup stuttering may be less? Still unsure.

echo issue

for those who have an echo issue, i need some subjects to test some changes in the mixer path file and give me a feedback.

i am focusing cellphone calls and also voice/video calls over the internet.

please pm me. i think i made some progress but without u i cannot verify that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] trotos:
I would like to be test subject, since I just upgraded my phone, but could you please provide a walkthrough on how to go from stock to this rom?

I am on baseband G93FXXU8ET12

thank you!

Hello Roberto W.

I have tried to solve my echo problem several times in the last year and a half. I could not solve it with the mixer_paths_0.xml.

Obviously it also has something to do with the carriers, because the echo problem occurs with one carrier and does not occur at all with another.

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-n-r-unofficial-lineageos-for-microg.3921094/page-12#post-84265303

In the end, nothing worked and I went back to LOS 16 this summer.

Nevertheless I can test your mixer path file in the next days if you 'd like me to. Just pm me (preferably in german).

Is there a way to get the Stock Camera of Galaxy S7 on this Lineage ROM?

I would have mained this ROM if it wasn't for the downgraded camera quality

The S7 custom ROM FloydQ keeps the great stock camera so i guess it is possible?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] grako122:
Awesome! This version seems to be running quite well. Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bigsterer:
Which of the two are you using? I am interested in using Gcam also since this ROM not include great stock camera app
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] grako122:
The 8.3 beta, which was the latest version on this site.

Works pretty snappy compared to other versions that I've tried but also has memory leak after a few pictures sometimes (as in freezes). But the quality of the photos is good.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sebastian1.kazmierczak:
Hello Team,

I have to ask you for help in my case, specifically I installed this rom according to the instructions, but I ran into some problems.

At first I installed the latest TWRP by ODIN, however after rebooting I got bootloop. I backup the original samsung roms with TWRP and then installed LineageOS 18.1 and it all booted up nicely and worked fine.

Now I want to go back to the original samsung rom, however when I restore my system backup in TWRP after reboot I have bootloop again.

Do you know any solution to fix this problem and get back to my system from backup. Or how to unpack TWRP backup files to be able to read files - folders with files. I was wondering if I can restore the backup and it will still be bootloop, can I install a clean bootloader from the original samsung rom using ODIN?

Thanks for any help
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] irepairwireless509:
@Ivan_Meler I wanted to install the latest 18.1 update from October 5. But the file is named as herolte and not hero2lte so twrp won't let it be installed. I see that both Google Drive and Mega file downloads are named the same. Can I go ahead and rename the file to hero2lte and install it with no problems?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
thats because you are looking at s7 thread and not s7 edge thread located here
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] irepairwireless509:
Oops. Didn't notice that, thank you.

Fellow Lineage 18.1 users- What are some good apps to use for Gallery and for File Manager? I'm currently using Gallery app by Photo Gallery Tools and File Manager by Xiaomi, but they function quite slow on my phone and have ads. The UI is nice on those though.

November security update build is up here is a brief changelog

- Merged upstream wireguard kernel changes

- Merged November 2021. Security update

- Synced with LOS source

Not too many changes in this one as you can see as i spent most of the time focusing on LOS 19 build (Android 12)

which is coming along great (Just some gralloc work left to do and sensor hal needs some attention before first public builds)

Big thanks to everyone who supported this project as always as its thanks to them that this project is still up and running, Enjoy new build and stay safe

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ukleinek:
While I'm mostly happy with this ROM (currently running the September build without any added Google stuff), there are a few apps (Spotify, fennec (aka firefox), also some games) that hang occasionally for a few seconds.

I cannot reproduce the issue but I suspect this is a problem with the ROM and not in the individual apps. Is this only me? Is there something I could have done wrong (e.g. started with a wrong Vendor ROM?)

Any hints (also how to debug this) very welcome.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ukleinek:
One minor problem is: after a restart the home screen is mostly empty, i.e. all apps placed there disappeared. Only the "built-in" apps stay. (WIth one exception: RxDroid (from the F-Droid store) stays on the home screen.)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] AudioG229:
i have the same problem think its caused by the dialer and when you use gapps goole dialer from beginning root its should fix
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] hansmeie:
How do you mean that exactly?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Nungesser:
Thank you very much for keeping the S7 alive, I do have an echo problem with this rom, caller has echo, I have installed incallechofix and it has not helped. What info could be usefull to correct this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Flo.K.:
Hey, i have some problem with the Updater.

Does the OTA function turned off?

I installed the Build from October out of the forum on the first page.

The Updater always shows No new Updates found, although the new Build of November already is online?

Can i download the new build manualy and flash it in the Lineage Recovery via Apply update--> Update from internal Storage?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Kippy51:
As far as I know you can't use Lineage recovery, you need TWRP. Then just download the zip and flash it through install (assuming you have another version of this ROM already installed).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] dark_o:
for all who have the same problem I had the same, my sim was old i just replaced it with a new one I went local office of my mobile operator for only 3 euro I got a new one sim(the same phone number of course) and I no longer have a echo problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Roberto W.:
but that would not explain why the echo is not available for some with a headset.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sebastian1.kazmierczak:
Will anyone help in my case?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] hmendes3:
Hello guys. Fantastic this ROM 18.1, but it seems to have a problem with the proximity sensor and the light sensor. I don't know if its my phone's hardware or if its the 18.1 ROM (5th oct 21).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ukleinek:
Would you mind to share your exact kernel version of the working kernel? Also, do you have a link handy about how to replace the kernel with a self-compiled one? I know about kernel development in general, but never did that on my phone ...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Flo.K.:
I want to replace my Lineage recovery permanently by TWRP.

Flashing Recovery via Heimdall works fine but the Lineage recovery always replace TWRP after Reboot.

I tried to flash the TWRP.img in TWRP but this was overwritten too.

Is there a possibility without a clean install of the Build?

Somebody knows a easy way?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sailorpito:
Sure, go to Settings, System, Updater, Preferences and disable update recovery

is there a tutorial out there to build los 18.1 for the herolte so that i can bild it for myself?

Just for learning.

sorry to ask but when is the "android 12 S7" ready? just want to know wait for week/month/months?

thanks for your work!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ScanX:
What's your mood, can you not wait? ;)

We have a wonderfully smooth running LOS18.1 with current security patch. A reason to be happy! (y)

There is no need to hurry. Thanks @Ivan_Meler !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] D4KiR:
just wanted to know how long this would take, i am not rushing, just wanted a small info, not the exact date :D

on my s7 the wifi is not working properly, often, not sure why or what i can do with that

restarting phone helps

it says "limited connection" or it cant find any wlan at all, after it is longer turned on

other devices dont have that problem with my wifi
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] milanbey:
confirmed. WiFi from time to time stops working. shows no networks and doesn't connect hence. phone restart helps
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] D4KiR:
yeah i thought i was the only one :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Roberto W.:
best u can do on wifi issues, provide logs
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] D4KiR:
which logs?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Kippy51:
Same with me. But only on 2.4 band; switching tot 5 GHz solved it for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sandygituloh:
i have an issue with my fingerprint doesnt work just for unlocking the phone.

what should i do ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] hmendes3:
Does proximity sensor and light sensor work for you?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] milanbey:
can confirm proximity sensor working. light sensor dunno, not using auto brightness which used to be chaotic 😄
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] D4KiR:
to my Wifi Problem

LogCat:

hope thats the right logs :O

the problems:

#1 Wifi break completly and a restart fixes searching for wifi and getting internet

#2 Wifi has "limited" or "no internet" (sometimes), but other devices with same Wifi has not the problems

i tried 2.4ghz and 5ghz*
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bluedisc:
I flashed this rom on twrp, but it ran into an error and i rebooted the phone. Now, I cannot turn on the phone at all. Is my phone bricked? I don't know why I can't turn it on and go into twrp or odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Mr_Biggles:
Nope. Not the only one! Happens to me fairly often. If you toggle airplane mode on and then off it brings the wifi back. Faster than a restart.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Roberto W.:
i got that issue too in the past since the june releases. some changes inside the kernel result on some routers that behavior.

try to update to the routers latest firmware. i had to use a different kernel (may-kernel of los or morokernel) to fix that. since some month my manufactor of the router released a patch, now everything is working with the original kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] D4KiR:
my isp can only update that, sadly :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] D4KiR:
thanks for the info! :O

but would be better if that gets fixed somehow :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] S7fb1:
Why does the Google drive always say the file is not available? Anyone else? Always says too many people downloaded for months now.

And then the megaupload link just does nothing when I click it on my phone.

There must be some more reliable upload sites perhaps? Or does anyone have an alternate link with the latest build?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ukleinek:
Do you know a source for the may image? And is there a manual somewhere how to swap the kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Roberto W.:
if u give me an online storage, i can upload the kernel may kernel for u. it is a img-file, u can install it with twrp easily.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] S7fb1:
Can you just do a re flash with TWRP with the current zip to go over the prior build of this ROM? Do all prior settings remain without wiping system, etc? Anyone tried yet?

Edit, found some support for above in thread so I upgraded in twrp, as well as recommended apparently, queued with gapps. Magisk auto reinstalled itself without action from me. Riru and lsposed wanted to update after in magisk tab.

Edit 2, has anyone tried this for the echo thing? Put two pieces of tape on the top microphone hole.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] chairmanmiaow:
@Ivan_Meler

I've installed the latest build lineage-18.1-20211105-UNOFFICIAL-herolte on three different S7 units and they all show the same behaviour: they stop charging (or the charging progress displayed stops) at 75%. Powered off they charge to 100% as per normal.

Looks like a bug, can anyone else confirm?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] S7fb1:
What if you turn off "protect battery" under settings->battery?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] chairmanmiaow:
Hmm interesting when did that feature appear? 1 out of the 2 handsets I can check right now had that setting applied (the fresh install where I first noticed the behaviour) and the other one (an old build just flashed to the latest for testing) did not have that setting on.

I'll let both phones discharge back past 75% and see what happens now the setting is definitely off.

Thanks for the tip!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ttmob4:
Ivan introduced the option of setting this feature (battery protection) to stop charging at 75%...and start charging if below 25 I think...see post 701
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] grako122:
Anybody know why I can't boot into TWRP? I flashed the latest twrp through Odin but it always gets stuck on the splash screen. Same when I install an earlier version.. Would like to get into twrp just to backup some files.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Robotition:
Can you please add Dual Speaker and louder volume mod for this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ttmob4:
Does anyone know how to get Screen mirroring (Android phone screen) to work to a Samsung Smart TV. I can send pictures and videos using third party apps but not a screen mirror? I tried Smartview and it and the phone generally cannot see the TV when Cast is selected?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ukiz:
The battery protection feature is great, thanks @Ivan_Meler! Does anyone know how to change the max charge level (currently preset at 75%)? Should be in some config file?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
you could write value to

/sys/module/sec_battery/parameters/store_mode_max

keep it mind its reset after reboot so you might want to set up script with magisk that writes to that path on boot and sets it to whatever you want
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ukiz:
Thanks for the quick reply! Is there a way to do it without root?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
if you have a pc yeah, using adb root (which comes built into os) or you could edit init file to set it on boot from twrp
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] S7fb1:
Re writing a custom battery protect max charge number, what's a good number to choose, 85% maybe? I heard that's what Samsung uses in new phones, anyone else know?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] S7fb1:
I was trying to do so but total commander edit with root keeps saying not enough memory. What's the init file way?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ukleinek:
I now installed the kernel provided by Roberto, but my problems are still there, i.e. hangs in spotify (it reproducibly takes ~30 seconds until spotify is started), fennec takes ages to startup and isn't reactive, too, and connect to web sites is also slow. Occasional the dialog "Fennec isn't responding, Close app? Wait?" occurs (also for spotify).

Also after some time the LED indicating charging keeps off all the time, no matter if the phone charges or not.

I tried enabling the LED via adb root, but modifying the brightness file in sysfs doesn't change anything.

Any hints very welcome.

New build with december security update is out, here is a brief changelog

- Merged December 2021. Security update

- Removed liboemcrypto which was breaking playback in some apps that use drm

- Synced with LOS source

Sorry for a bit of delay in this one, I spent quite a bit more time on android 12 to get things as stable as possible there so updated for 11 are bit later than usual

But here they finally are, Stay safe and enjoy the holidays
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sammael1982:
Hey there, this is the first custom ROM I installed on my S7.

So far everything works really well, except one thing: my phone will sometimes lose it's WiFi connection for 15-20 minutes when the screen is locked.

This is really annoying in my case, as I'm using it in my smart-home setup to determine if someone is at home. I query my router and check for the MAC of our phones. It's really hard to cook something if your stove gets switched off.😅

This never happened with the stock firmware. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Just noticed the same as ukleinek, LED stays off while charging, but it worked for a few days.

Edit 2: WiFi feels to be "less active" in general (when screen is locked) than on the stock firmware. Coming home there's a longer delay before it automatically connects to my network and my smart-home registers my presence...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] AudioG229:
Anyone can say what Xposed framework for this lineago os is the right? Thx a lot it would help to fix the wifi problem with the Reversed Thereing app/server

Thats the best for bigger Backups in case
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ralaud:
First, thanks to the developer for his work :)

Hi guys, I need your help, I encrypted my phone with the build from 05.11.2021 and today when I tried to flash the new build, I saw that twrp 3.6.0 did not decrypt my encrypted partition. My question is, does encryption/decryption not work? And if it does not work, is it possible to revert my encrypted partition or do I need to clean flash everything?

Best regards!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] waffelschnitten:
Thank you for your work, is there a way, but anonymously, to donate some money to you? :D

I am using this ROM now and it steems very stable. Does it make sense/Should I update to the newest build? I have made some bad experiences flashing new builds over existing ones in the past and would hate to mess up my config. Also, does a new build reset my magisk/zigysk root? It took some trial and error for me to set everything up so my banking apps would work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
dirty update should work just fine but it totally depends on users config, magisk and its zygisk configs should survive updates with no issues too. Main reason to update would be security update tbh, as for anonymous donations feel free to pm me i have crypto wallet but dont feel like making address public haha
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] S7fb1:
Lsposed
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] S7fb1:
When I updated to Nov rom, magisk reinstalled itself automatically. All my config and xposed remained the same. I just did over top in twrp

I dont use cryptocurrency and it seems to much of a hassle to get into it for this, but I've sent you a PM

I have kind of very low volume on media for some videos, others seem ok, but still overall not very loud. Can I change the media volume somehow without messing up call volumes etc (it seems to work for me without echo issues, so I am cautious to change the wrong things.)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] S7fb1:
Has anyone been able to successfully change this to 85 yet?

I keep getting an out of memory error in Total Commander with magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
you are not supposed to edit sysfs paths with file manager, instead use terminal emulator like termux and echo, or just create a shell script that magisk will auto execute on boot
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] S7fb1:
Thanks so I installed termux, ran su command, granted permission, typed echo 85 > /sys/module/sec_battery/parameters/store_mode_max and that worked.

Do you know how I put this into magisk to run at boot to be permanent?

Edit I found a magisk module Daily Job Scheduler that says it will perform scripts on boot will try that
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
you could put shell script that echoes 85 to path in /data/adb/service.d/ and magisk will auto execute it on boot, like init.d did in past

Hi and thanks for the great work. I installed your December build a few days ago and most things are working flawlessly :).

I encountered two things so far:

1. VoLTE/VoWifi are not working. I know this has been commented already in the thread, but personally I would find it helpful to have it noted in the "Not working" section up front (with the remark that drivers are closed source, so it cannot be easily realized).

2. Wifi connection is dropping from time to time, also as noted before (the workaround with airplane mode works for me). I had a look at the logs as suggested before:

I find a lot of lines the following lines whether wifi works or not (I filtered them out below):

The first line I can found related to a wifi loss seems to be:

Later, I see regular messages like

and (a little less often) blocks with one or more occurrences of the following two lines

When enabling and disabling the airplane mode, I see the following lines:

Afterwards, wifi is working again.

Not sure, if this is of any help?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] easylivin:
But it works when using a messenger like Threema or Signal. I don't know why but the connection stays on 4G.
