But gps works.

Another question : how can i make a search in this topic/thread (the 53 pages of this subject) ?

I'm not familiar to use forum on xda.

Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Derenk:
I've heard the same complaints, but I didn't know it's related to ROM. Good to know.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] d_d0706:
I installed this rom on my S7 but it randomly crashes, does somebody have a idea why ?

Update: I reinstalled the rom with the December update and since then the rom is running without any crashing
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Kippy51:
If you told us what you installed (gapps?, Magisk? Which versions?) we might be able to help. Any messages when it crashes?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] d_d0706:
I installed:

- lineageos_18.1_20220908_herolte (flat s7)

- Nikgapps-basic-arm64-220908

And there aren't any messages, it just crashing random when I using it (even when the phone is on standby) most of the time it restarts himself, but sometimes I need to restart the Phone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] d_d0706:
Update: I reinstalled lineageos 18.1 to reproduce the problem and it starts crashing after I installed Youtube (Music) Vanced with Vanced MicroG
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Kippy51:
Did you install YT through the Vanced Manager? Because that doesn't work anymore. The project had to be stopped. If you tried reïnstalling through Titanium Backup, Migrate or apps like that, the same goes. Read back through this thread and you'll find messages about the discontinuation and a possible solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] d_d0706:
installed it over Vanced Manager (I had an old apk from this app and you can still install it over the manager) and it haven't caused any problems in the past with outer custom roms, I hope I can find a solution in this Thread
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] PetrosiliusZ:
I installed LOS 18.1 20220914 with open_gapps-arm64-11.0-mini-20220215 on herolte and upgraded to LOS 18.1 20221116 today. I am still experiencing three problems that did not exist on LOS 17.1. So I am seriosly thinking about downgrading again.

(1) google play store crashes every few days in a loop. App-storage and updates of playstoreservices and playstore have to be deleted every time this happens

(2) android11- issues with bluetooth prevail, especially in a car enviroment. I tried AVRCP 1.5 (standard) and previous versions on 20220914 and 20221116. media playback is distorted if it happens at all, phonecalls are not routed via bluetooth hands-free-device

(3) HDR photographie with OpenCamera produces a heavy green cast. While preview during taking the serie seem natural, merged foto as well as single fotos (additionally stored by corresponding option) are: green. reiinstalling opencamera or deleting app storage do not show any effect.

Any hint would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] PetrosiliusZ:
issue (2) is resolved indeed and and might not(?) be related with recent android 11 bluetooth problems. Pairing with car audio system however only worked while bluetooth of an also present Navigon GPS device was switched off. (phone had not been paired with Navigon nor was there a dialog on Navigon indicating a pairing process pending nor did Navigon show up on the phone's BT enviroment search). Anyhow something does not seem to be 100% clean with BT stack.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
December builds are out, there are some larger updates in this build than usual so here is a brief changelog:

- Merged December 2022. Security update

- Switched to a new power hal (same one as in 19.1 and 20.0)

- Improved battery life and performance

- Rebased kernel to fix some issues with ipv4 stack

- Synced with LOS source

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.

17.1 builds are coming later today and 20.0 builds in a few days once all new changes from google have been merged.

Enjoy new builds and stay safe
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] PetrosiliusZ:
issue (3) : HDR with OpenCamera 1.48.2 is OK but there seem to be problems with recent OpenCamera 1.50.1 on LOS 18.1 herolte
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] kuila:
I really miss the full functionality of the nightmode/live display feature. It only reduces blue content in white elements.

Is full support planned or is it supported in other LOS versions (17, 19, 20)?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] _pietro:
with this update i have a problem with the scrolling: when i scroll i.e. a web page it makes a tap opening the underling link... is it possible to reinstall the previous update?!

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] PetrosiliusZ:
Thanks for this great ROM. There are just a few minor issues I experience:

(1) from time to time play store services are stopped in a loop (uninstalling updates , clearing memory of play store plus play store services and reboot helps)

(2) lock screen freezes. background is just black, clock is working, I can even answer fon calls but I can not pattern-unlock the screen. The only thing that seems to help (apart from hard reboot) is to apporach and remove with a magnetic cover equivalent object..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] RogiigoR:
Great work guys! Thanks to you my S7 got some new life - my little donation is well deserved!

Question: The blue light filter doesn't seem work properly since a while (over saturated blue/green) (https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/3813).

I would highly appreciate this fixed - the point is to minimise blue light as much as possible (not to mess around with our melatonin schedule).

Keep it up! Cheers!

Hello, I've got a phone with still a build of august 2021 on it. I want tot update with the latest build. I seem tot remember someting sometime ago that there was an update where you not only had to udate the build of Lineage, but also you had to install a new version of Gapps, or your phone wouldn't work. Is my memory correct of can I just install the February 2023 build?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] siminfrance:
Hello,

I installed the latest version + gapps + magisk and everything is working fine.

My phone is now rooted ... life is good.

But I now want to unroot it :)

I went to Magisk to uninstall it ... and it uninstalled itself, rebooted ... but now my phone is still rooted.

How can I unroot my phone without wiping everything?

Or is that image rooted by default?

Edit: sorry, this is for 19.1 so I will ask in that thread.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Fastback65:
hi,

Thanks for the great rom but i have still 1 major problem.

If i call with somebody they hear ther voice twice....alot of echo.

i see that problem in alot of roms for different phones so i think this is

a very difficult thing to solve or is it impossible to solve?

or is ther a fix for it?

Many thanks in advance,

Tim
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Derenk:
I have exactly the same problem. I though it's my device issue, but many people have the same problem.

It seems this phone model has 2 microphones and system can't handle them properly. In normal calls both of them are active, and one of them makes echo.

You can "fix" it by temporally disabling access to microphone in drop-down quick options. It turns off one of the microphones.

You can also switch to loud speaker, it will also turn off one of the microphones.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Thibou:
Hi @Ivan_Meler

Thank you for still supporting 18.1. I am running your June 2022 build and will install your last update.

I used to flash MoroKernel (8.8.1) on your LOS18.1 builds.

As time goes by and MoroKernel is no longer maintained, is it now wiser to stick with the default LOS kernel to prevent bad behaviours between the "up to date ROM" and the "no longer maintained kernel"?

I am wondering this as you did a massive work on hals since July 2022.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
I would always advise users to keep stock kernel especially in case when they are using outdated kernel as something might break at any random point, for now you should be fine with moro but i do think it breaks some functionality like power hal controlled tap to wake
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Thibou:
Alright thank you very much. I will stick to the default kernel then.

I was only using Moro kernel to lower the volume of the headphones and increase the volume of the earpiece (for phone calls). But I guess there is another way to do this with mixer paths if it is still needed.

Edit: Yeah I did need to edit mixer paths to lower the volume from 32 to 16 but it's now perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
And as prommised, BSP changes make it into 18.1 builds, here is a brief channgelog

I updated to the june build today via ota (was on march or april build, not 100% sure) and now i only get the Lineage logo until the phone reboots and tells me it can't load android system.

When booting to recovery it seems like TWRP is gone and it's some sort of Lineage recovery?

Any help would be welcome.

Edit: Reinstalled TWRP via Odin, flashed Lineage, Bitgapps, Magisk via TWRP and everything seems to work. So, broken OTA update or what did i miss?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Lycht:
No idea, i update all time with TWRP :unsure:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] MiBa86:
@Ivan_Meler Is there any chance (for LineageOS 18xx, 19xx, or 20xx) to fix the echo problem during calls?

It's related to the mixer paths and because the phone has 2 mics which are active simultaneously, is that correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] xdastedt:
It is a significant issue with these ROMs and definitely high on my list of issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] MiBa86:
Sorry, but are you Ivan? With another account? Or do I misunderstand something here?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] xdastedt:

I do not care if theres is no OTA o hate that phone the s7 im trying to make it better I tested 1k roms
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ToonDS:
Hello.

First of all, thank you for all the work done to make this available !

I installed in february version of lineage 18.1 available at that time.

I have 2 questions :

- Is there a procedure available that describes how to update with version latest ? (I see the proposal for download august version on my phone and guess it is pretty much straightforrward after accepting, but may be not...)

- More important, does this update keep all data unchanged, including APP installed and their configuration ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] David Cotea:
Sorry im not the developer of the rom ask the developer:ivan_meler
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ex novo:
Yes, just follow the instructions that appear on the screen to update. This is called "OTA update" and yes, all your data, settings and apps are kept unchanged with the exception of Magisk. If you have it installed you will need to flash Magisk again by saving the apk to external storage, renaming it from .apk to .zip and flashing it through recovery.

You should always keep the latest version of the ROM installed because it receives the latest Android security patches.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ToonDS:
I followed successfully your indications for september version. Thank you !

On page https://ivanmeler.github.io/devices/herolte.html I couldn't find changelog for 18.1 : do you know if such OTA update version contains more than Android security patches ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ex novo:
I think only LineageOS 20 remains in active development but I could be wrong. LineageOS 18 and 19 continue to receive Android monthly security patches thanks to developer Ivan Meler and for me that's what matters.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ToonDS:
Ok thank you, that makes sense.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
October 2023. builds are up, you should be able to get them via OTA or from google drive/mega/github

Just a security update in this one.

I also staretd work on LineageOS 21 so expect that some time in near future

Here we go, with a bt of delay November 2023. builds are up

This took a bit longer than usual due to fact i was working on Android 14 and few other projects.

Android 14 builds will likely be out next month (December) so far they are pretty stable and feel smoother than android 13.

Huge thanks to everyone who supported this project with doations that help cover the build server cost

as noted previously i had to change donation email to ivan.meler0101+paypal@gmail.com/paypal.me/melerivan due to some issues with previous account

Thanks to everyone who supported project over the years once again and see you soon with android 14.

For OTA updates, after manually flashing this build OTA updates will work once again, sorry for any inconvenience caused by this

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] _pietro:
anyone experiencing huge battery drain after the last update?! thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Thibou:
Sorry _pietro I have not tested the last build.

By the way I want to point out that I only had to reboot my device once to fix the issue of notification LED no longer working. This is major improvement!

I'm running 2023-09-10 build installed the 2023-09-18.

With previous builds I would face this issue every day or couple of days. As already pointed out, this was a real annoyance for me. This is why I'm not installing the newer builds for now.

@Ivan_Meler , did you do anything that may have helped in this regard? Or is it just luck?

Maybe have I done something a little different when installing the ROM that helped but if this is the case I don't really know what it could be. Only difference I know of is I'm now using "Simple SMS Messenger" instead of "QKSMS" as QKSMS was being annoying, not marking messages as read when opening the notification (I had to return the conversations' list, then open the conversation and only then the message would be marked as read.) But I also used "Textra SMS" at some point and faced the same issue, this is why I doubt the QKSMS could be the root of the issue. And to be honest I don't want to try these apps to find out with the risk of bringing back the issue.

Anyway, thanks Ivan because this is currently the most flawless experience I had with 18.1. In 3 months I just had to reboot once for this LED issue and maybe a couple of times when my device went unresponsive when multi-tasking. I can definitely live with a reboot a month! 😁

If there is proper ways to bring back "quick setting tiles" as in Android 11 (LOS 18.1) on new Android version I may follow, until then I will stay on 18.1. But really appreciate that you, Ivan, are working on LOS 14 for other S7 users!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Shiningb:
Thanks for keeping up with the updates Dev

I'm using LOS18.1 in my daily usage and it's the most flawless experience I could ever have while keeping an updated version of Android running in my S7

I lost my other device and now the S7 will be my only device for a while

I'm here hoping that Android 14 will be going strong in our device
