worse. I can't go back to the STOCK ROM. I can't get into the bootloader with ADB. the phone reboots. Stock Rom in odin(3.13.1) writes FAIL. and TWRP(3.5.0) installs smoothly (PASS) but not. the problem seems big :sleep:

just try nanodroid and edxposed mod fakegapps
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Queeq:
Hi,

Thanks for the early release.

I have, however, a couple of issues with it. Both of them are haunting me since LineageOS 16. Although I did the complete wipe and flash (with subsequent user app recovery via SwiftBackup) they're still present in this release. The system is rooted with Magisk.

First one is periodic WiFi disconnect and instant reconnect. Having run logcat I figured it is due to IpReachabilityMonitor. Here's the relevant extract:

02-07 21:39:13.263 5258 7757 W IpClient.wlan0: [IpReachabilityMonitor] WARN ALERT neighbor went from: NeighborEvent{@18931033,RTM_NEWNEIGH,if=16,fe80::<hidden>,NUD_PROBE,[<mac_hidden>]} to: NeighborEvent{@18938533,RTM_NEWNEIGH,if=16,fe80::<hidden>,NUD_FAILED,[null]}
02-07 21:39:13.267 5258 7757 W IpReachabilityMonitor: FAILURE: LOST_PROVISIONING, NeighborEvent{@18938533,RTM_NEWNEIGH,if=16,fe80::<hidden>,NUD_FAILED,[null]}
02-07 21:39:13.277 4941 5035 D WifiClientModeImpl: FAILURE: LOST_PROVISIONING, NeighborEvent{@18938533,RTM_NEWNEIGH,if=16,fe80::<hidden>,NUD_FAILED,[null]}

From reading the internet it looks like a common issue. One of the possible solutions was to disable IPv6 on wlan0 interface, but it didn't help me. Also I found that in Cyanogenmod there used to be an option to disable IpReachabilityMonitor altogether as it seems not to bare critical functions. Is there a way to disable it here somehow?

Second problem is periodic system crash and reboot. I haven't dug into it yet, but it happens at least once a day on this system (as opposed to ~bi-weekly on LOS 16). I've a feeling it may be connected to external SD usage (both read and write): it happened a couple of times when I was reading/writing stuff to it, and tonight it failed during periodic SwiftBackup that also writes to external SD. What's really annoying is that the phone doesn't boot by itself because it's encrypted and requires manual unlock (and I can't rely on it as alarm if it happens at night), and also this crash left SD card's exFAT system with errors proposing me to format it. Hopefully, fsck_exfat /dev/disk2s1 on MacOS was able to fix it without full reformat (I know on Linux it's also possible using exfatprogs). So I'm willing to help troubleshooting this as it could make the phone quite unusable at times.

Odin 3.14 (Auto Restart Disable)+ Twrp 3.5.0 and other pc. Problem solved for back stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] K2silver:
so everything seems pretty good in this ROM! :D

I had issue(s) earlier with Magisk failing safetynet test and GooglePlay store showing device as un-certified

-- I was able to fix with hiding Magisk and using terminal emulator to assign device fingerprint

+ this fixed safetynet + the google play store device

Now when I go back to test safetynet it fails BOTH on basic type BUT Google play store still shows device as Certified

Weird......overall tho great ROM I use it as a daily driver !

UPDATE

rebooted phone and it worked! (go figure) LOL

I have got problem with my wifi. After some seconds it disconnects and then reconnects again, anyone know how to face this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Queeq:
If you're rooted you can try to disable IPv6 (seems to help a bit, but then it's reset after reboot I believe). In terminal as root: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/wlan0/disable_ipv6

Better solution would be to disable (or even better - fix) IpReachabilityMonitor, but I don't know how to do this (see my message yesterday).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] zetex.otm:
Clean flashed the latest build (20210205) with latest NikGapps (202101030) and Magisk 21.4. I am now able to encrypt both my phone and SD-card.

Is it possible to enable wifi calling?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Dankal:
The Stock ROM can also be used to activate VoLTE. Both VoLTE and WiFi calling are available. Will these features be integrated into LineageOS at some point?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Dankal:
Can't connect my S7 to the FritzWLAN repeater at all. Therefore I set the corresponding value "0" in the file "disable_ipv6" to "1" and restarted. It was not reset again. However, it did not bring any success...

Can't use WLAN at all. When trying to connect to WLAN, the error message appears that the connection could not be established.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] imichalakis:
Too many bugs instead of using stock rom. I am a developer and what I am saying is if you install a custom rom you should be sure that all of the stock rom features would be as is. Exception is the people who know exactly what they do.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Johndo4550:
First of all THX to Ivan Meier for keeping our S7 alive with the latest ROMs.

Do anyone have a problem with Google Maps don't save your timeline?

I have tried deleting my google account, uninstalling Maps as much as I could. The Maps navigation do work, but it just don't save the history, and I have checked and checked again that it have all the permissions needed.

I also use Waze, og it saves history quite fine.

I'm on latest build from february with NikGapps. The issue was also on the january build.

TIA
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] chomsky55:
I also have a Fritzbox and for me the issue is that my S7 will only connect with 802.11/a. It did connect with 802.11/ac for a day but somehow the connection doesn't hold up and falls back to a.

On my other router I don't have this issue so it must be a Fritzbox/S7(LOS18.1) combination but I don't know.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] cali.s:
I also own a Fritzbox and use only 5GHz

have neither dropouts nor other problems

lineageos supports volte and vowifi, but samsung makes it hard to implement these features.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Dankal:
After further testing, I came to the following conclusion.

The WPA encryption mode had to be changed from WPA2 + WPA3 to WPA + WPA2 on the repeater. This strongly suggests that there is currently a problem with the latest encryption methods.

I don't use a FRITZ router, instead the following is used:

- FRITZ! WLAN Repeater 1750E

- Samsung S7 (G930F)

- LineageOS 18.1 (Rooted with Magisk)

- open_gapps-arm64-11.0-super-20210130-TEST, configured with a gapps-config

Subject:

/ proc / sys / net / ipv6 / conf / wlan0 / disable_ipv6

I set the value back to 0.

WLAN is now working properly.

Does anyone know how to disable Share suggestions or Direct Share?

For example, when sharing a file Android suggests recent contacts via Telegram, Whatsapp etc. - but I do not want to use this feature (see the image below).

I found a tutorial for creating an .xml file and copying it to data/system/iwf, however this doesn't seem to work on Adroid 11 as the app just crashes when trying to share a file then.

Any help appreciated!

edit: needless to say, I searched the setting, but there is no setting for "Direct Share" or even "Share" in general.

Works for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Johndo4550:
Seems to be a glitch in NikGapps. Went back to Lineage 17 with gapps and now Maps timeline is working.

Would have been nice to have had a feedback on this, but I'll guess to many tinfoil hats, who have disabled their location service, therefor the lack of answers.

Stay safe :cowboy:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] krist34:
Hi Ivan, thanks for making our S7 updated until now. the ROM is smooth enough for me and also has good battery life. But i can't take any video in any app i've tested (WhatsApp, Instagram, Stock Camera, Footej Camera 2). Is it just mine? Any suggestion to fix this would appreciated. i'm using latest Feb build..

Update: i can take video using zgcam but no sound captured..

Nanodroid is fine as well (as long as it's privacy friendly Gmscore) . Did you get it working?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Roberto W.:
i am not using los 18.1. but nanodroid should works with it. nanodroid installs microg for you. and u will need edxposed with a mod called fakegapps for signature spoofing if this rom is not patchable.

Just wanted to say than you for the incredible ROM. I've been on the late January build and I couldn't believe that all the long standing bugs, like call audio and fingerprint in apps were fixed. It's absolutely daily driver material and brings new life to this phone. I'm now on the Poco X3 as a daily, but this ROM is absolutely sticking around on my S7!

Thanks Ivan!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] chrismin13:
Just flash TWRP again. Lineage recovery works great for OTA updates of the ROM supports them. Otherwise you can use TWRP.

Upgraded from 17.1 by dirty flashing. So far it has been a smooth experience!

Haven't noticed any weird behaviour as of yet. I cant confirm connectivity probnlems mentiond earlier in this threath. 5Ghz WiFi N WPA2 IPv4 only (Ancient I know, but my ISP sucks Ziggo/Liberty Global) stable and fast connection. 4G data is also workign flawlessly.

The one you mentioned made me end up in bootloop in TWRP, and getting error 7.

Never mind some files works in some units, others don't, I think it's hardware related, so I decided to use another version which is just fine. - THX a lot for the input.

By the way my unit don't have any echo, and have never had, nor on 18.1 or on 17.

I have also seen issues with SafetyNet. It passed verification after setting up Magisk, but when the user tried to log into Pokemon Go using Google account, it failed. Rebooting also fixed this for them.

Do the SamsungHealth and related apps work with this great LOS release? As I own a Samsung smartwatch, I would like to still have it synced with my S7.

Which camera would you recommend? Or which modifications (if there are such) for the camera app that comes with LOS 18.1?

It is a pity that the vendors' stock camera apps cannot be integrated in LOS (or other custom ROMS, if I see it correctly). Is there anything that could be done about this for LOS 18.1 on the S7 exynos (herolte)?

Anyway, thanks a lot @Ivan_Meler for the great work!

You can update the baseband with Odin, no need to go back to stock rom.

You can Download Firmware from sammobile and select your Country then Flash BL and CP in Odin only

sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s7/firmware/SM-G930F

AP: is your system partition with recovery and stuff.

BL: your bootloader

CP: your modem

CSC: this is what features you get in some countries or carriers like Wi-Fi Calling.

CSC and AP is only for samsung stock rom

If you flash CSC will wipe your data.

If you flash CSC_HOME will not wipe your data.

I found something that doesn't work. It is a little know/obscure feature of our devices unless you are a running or cycling enthousiast. And that is ANT+.

I recently bought a home trainer which is compatible with Zwift (kind of a serious video game where you can cycle in a virtual world). I can link my hometrainer via bluetooth and it works perfectly. However I would like to pair my Garmin forerunner 235 to have a heartrate monitor. Unfortunitly that watch only supports ANT+ for heartrate transmission. I used it succesfully with strava on the S7 in the past, but Zwift can't find the device.

So done some digging:

- reinstalled ANT Radio Service

- Anttester says built in ANT detected: NO

I happen to have my wife's old S7 with a broken screen with stock rom on it and it works there:

It might be just a permission issue. However ANT Radio Service never asks for permissions and I don't know how to give an app or service persmissions it is not asking for without root acces.
