I tried flashing latest version over the last version and it sent my phone on a bootloop. Don't know if pixelfy, magisk props hide config, magisk, or nikgapps did it.

Sadly had to uninstall given call echo and Gcam crashing issues. But appreciate the other features of the build!

Really unfortunate about the Lineage issues with the echo.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] S7fb1:
Is that in App store or elsewhere?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] renanrdrigues:
I solved it, I couldn't register my cards because it said I was root on google pay, I reinstalled the rom and it worked.

I got a question for expandable storage. Is the S7 Edge able to read and write past 200GB on this ROM? According to samsung's website, its capacity is 200gb, but does being on this ROM let you see past that?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ivan_Meler:
January builds are up nothing major in them just usual security updates,

Also regarding camera that stops wroking after prolongued use,

I've figured out whats causing it and im investigating a fix for it but due to weird nature of bug.

Once again big thanks to everyone who supported this project and helped cover the build server cost and got me a coffee.

Enjoy new build and stay safe in 2022

I have recently installed the lineage-18.1-20220109-UNOFFICIAL-herolte.zip on my Samsung S7 SM-G930W8. Everything seems to work, except when I put my sim card in the device, I get a prompt that asks me to either UNLOCK or DISMISS (see screenshot). Pressing UNLOCK does nothing. Pressing DISMISS ignores the prompt. Either way, calling does not work.

My SIM card works fine on another phone, and it is not locked.

Has anyone encountered this before? If so, any suggestions?

I have a problem with the camera and instagram;

The instagram always crashes and the camera keeps giving errors and needs to restart to work. Does anyone have a solution for this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ivan_Meler:
So here are some progress updates, This time about something that was bothering a lot of people.

So lets talk about camera which would stop working after prolonged use.. This issue has been bothering me for over 2 years now but it was one of trickiest issues to deal with as described here https://github.com/8890q/android_device_samsung_universal8890-common/issues/5

Reason why this was so tricky is because camera lib is completely blobbed and there is no source for it so it required some reverse engineering (a lot of it)

first time around we just removed all fd closes from lib which left file descriptors open and once there were too many camera would stop working.. Anyhow since i had a bit more time due to corona i was able to really invest that time into android and look into and finaly i got a solution that is not hacky and resolves issues with camera once and for all (Or as long as google doesnt decide to drastically change something again)

Anyhow camera wont be crashing after ~20 min of use anymore and you wont have to reboot phone to continue using it.

Once again big thanks for all donations that help cover the build server cost and that got me coffee (I really needed coffee to fight with android fdsan weirdness to fix this haha)

New build with camera fix implemented will be out in a few days together with february security update and few other bug fixes, This affects all of 7 and 8 series exynos devices (8890/8895)

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

I have two questions and perhaps someone could help:

1. I use the 18.1 November-Build on S7 Edge for nearly 3 month now and have the regular problem that the w-lan is disconnected when the screen goes off. The network is reachable and has no problem. To reconnect the w-lan has to be switched of and switched on. It seems that the w-lan completely crashes. How to fix this?

2. How do I install a new version? Download it from here, put it on the card of the phone and simple use TWRP to install it? Should anything be wiped before? I want an update with no data-loss! :)

Greetings

Stefan
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] kiwidudeNZ:
Hi

Standard "dirty flash" would do the trick by booting into TWRP and flashing the new ROM. Check the other notes at the start of this forum in case I've missed something. please be aware that this is not fullproof and I've had situations where Open GApps or NikGApps have lost the playstore for various weird reasons (not always) and I've had to reformat the phone, re-flash the ROM and reinstall all of my apps and data. so the lesson here is. Always do your backups and copy things to your PC (photos, media, music, data etc) in case you need them.

1. turn the phone off and wait 15 seconds

2. boot into TWRP by holding the power, volume up and the middle hardward "HOME" button (bottom of the phone) at the same time.

3. copy across the latest ROM from your PC to the phone using a standard USB cable (sometimes you have to reboot the phone a couple of time so that the windows PC/Laptop recognises the interal file directory or make sure you have the right USB drivers. You should be able to see the existing TWRP folder and the other already installed OS files.

4. Wipe the cache only which should leave all the existing apps and settings as they are.

5. install the above new updated ROM zip file.

6. reboot the phone into system.

7. all should be well.

Once again. make sure you back your files up, nothing is perfect. Have I missed anything team?

Hi, is screencast working again for hero2lte? I read in a changelog from past september that screencast returned or was fixed for hero2lte but I was testing Android 12 at the time and never could have a try
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] J_s_d1:
Hi guys,

Really dumb question.

I currently have an Exynos S7 edge which is running the latest version of firmware 8.0. I wanted to downgrade the firmware to do location spoofing (just to test things for fun) but latest security patch etc. means I cant do it, if I'm correct? I would need to go back to a early android 7.0 2017 firmware version & I don't think this is possible, ODIN hasn't worked so I'm guessing not?

Anyway I need Google play services to be a really old version like 12.4ish I think. I cant tell if "spoofing" in the title refers to this or something else, lol.

If I'm wrong which I probably am, can anyone point me in the direction of a ROM or firmware I can use to do this?

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] zzz2002:
First off I am not asking Ivan to do anything about this!!! he is busy enough as is

However, interestingly when I take a look at the source for Linux 5.9.3 there is a Arm64 branch (?) and within the platforms there is this

But, as I am no longer an active developer/engineer (I retired 2005), I am not sure how much effort would be required to build a kernel for the S7 family of phones. Plus, the real problem would not be the build, but the extensive testing that would need to be done. All of this for a phone that while still very good is over four years old.

I did see something to the effect that Google was using or planning to use Linux 4 in android 11 and might be going to use Linux 5 in 12, although I have not seen any activity on this and it may just be the rumor mill in overdrive.

I am having front camera and microphone issues with video call. The mic is not working on speaker, but working using headset. The front camera crashes very frequently and temporary fix is to end the call and call again, however after awhile the front camera would be black and restarting is the only fix.

Is VOLTE/VoWIFI(?) available on this device. If so is there any possibility of it being supported?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] zzz2002:
I had heard that it wasn't available, but if that's an absolute, then we are going to have serious problems in North America. Some carriers in the US are rumored to be going to force VOLTE for some essential services. It speculated that this was aimed at increasing HW sales, and blocking third party SW.

I seem to remember this was reported (XDA news ?) sometime around June.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Marsu42:
Afaik in Europe, at least fallback to 2G will be still possible because it's used for essential emergency services.

Still, without VoLTE the phone has to switch back to 2G for voice calls beginning sometime in 2021 - and that's very unfortunate for LoS, too because all carriers will support VoLTE by then.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] zzz2002:
I cannot remember all the details in the article I read, I wish I could find the damn thing would make life much easier.

However, the article said that in the US at least two of the major carriers are though to be planning on using/forcing VOLTE, probably in conjunction with the introduction of 5g. There was some speculation that this would effectively lock their customers in to their networks. Will roaming work, if so how?

He also made some other comments, that make me think, that equipment with unapproved software would no longer function at any level. I will leave you to interpret "unapproved"! Shades of Apple??

----------------

I am not sure that this topic is relevant to this thread, may be it should be moved elsewhere, or dropped.

Update:

I think the the article I read may have been from CNet, but I am not 100% certain.

While I was trying to find my original source I came across an article in AndroidCentral on this subject,

Here is a quote from that article - "Earlier in 2020, some AT&T customers have been told that they need to upgrade their phones in order to continue using the service. The issue is that eventually, AT&T plans to discontinue its older network in order to completely transition to 4G LTE and 5G."

The two articles referenced in the quote above point to articles published by AndroidPolice and Google.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] zzz2002:
How do I set the SSID (hostname) of my s7 edge?

I have enabled Developer options and set the Device hostname to xyz123. I can identify all devices attached to my router by their address. All attached devices except the S7 also show a SSID e.g. my laptop shows as 192.168.1.10 SSID wander, my S7 on the other hand sows as 192.168.1.12 SSID blank.

I have reset/rebooted the router and all the attached devices. The IPs change but the SSIDs remain as expected, except the S7 which remains blank.

What am I doing wrong or is there a problem?
