Hi guys,

Do you have the choice to install Netflix from the playstore ?

I'm using the latest build with nikgapps from 30/01..

Otherwise, i would like to thank Ivan for his great job !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Damjan94:
why not just download the apk? AuroraOSS's aurora store does the job quite nicely(although, I don't have a netflix account so I can't say if it works after logging in to netflix)...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ryu--X:
You're right but the point is to understand why with some combination rom/gapps , it doesn't let you install it from the playstore saying "unavailable for your device".

i think it's more related to the gapps than the rom..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jonathanc1:
Since last week I upgraded my device from Samsung's stock firmware to LineageOS 18.1 and installed the "full" edition of NicGApps. Since yesterday the camera does not always work, which is a behavior I never experienced on the stock Samsung firmware at all. When I open the camera app the screen is black. Also, when I change to the front facing camera. The only temporary solution is to reboot my device and everything works again.

During these two days, I rebooted my device three times, and that cannot be the intention, I think. I tried to access the camera with several apps: OpenCamera, Footej Camera, the QR Code scanner of my banking app, all the same and as I wrote, after a reboot everything runs normal again. Does someone know a permanent solution?

Thanks :)

This is not meant to troll or diminish your needs, but Ivan's 17.1 LOS build runs really extremely well. If you don't need Android 11 for specific reasons and decide for a reliable daily driver, the 17.1 build is well maintained as well and should also be on the table IMHO.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] hobbyman@:
same like you mate. i have sent a message to the developer - Ivan, not sure if he gets free time to reply.

due to lack of instructions many preople are confused or dissappointed.

i hope it may get better soon, because the rom is such a good one!

Good work! It works fine. I just struggle to get Android Auto to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Cologneblood:
Use Nikgapps Full. This version includes AndroidAuto
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] faramirza:
I got Android Auto working.

I had to revert to the ROM version from current to 20210304. The last version did not provide stable WiFi. WiFi connections would die while downloading my Whatsapp backup, after which I'd need to restart it before wifi would work agian. I don't have this issue on the previous version.

- Rebased AntiFlicker and livedisplay support

- Performance and stability improvements

- Synced April 2021 Security Update

As always big thanks to everyone who donated as that helped offset the build server cost and keep the project alive with yet another android version

17.1 builds will be updated in a few days

Enjoy new build and stay safe
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] ae00711:
I was about to post to say this ROM is very very slick - fast and very battery efficient!

The only drawback is, when on a phone call, the other person has very bad echo - it doesn't matter if I call or they call, always very bad echo. They sound just fine my end tho. Will see if this April update changes anything!

Thanks Ivan!

edit: oh! and I can't seem to get SKVALEX call recorder to work 100%. It either picks up nothing, or the best I can get it to do is record the other person, but not me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] gavelis:
Just upgraded to latest version (07.04.2021) and can confirm that I´ve got wifi connection working now with WPA2/3 and PMF setting on router.

thank you for reply. i' ve already installed latest twrp via odin to my s7 edge. therefore, i don't know why it pops up instead of twrp...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] colla_76:
it had already happened to me too, if I remember correctly I solved it by reinstalling an old backup

thanks for your reply. could you be more specific in details ( step-by-step ) thank you for understanding and best of luck

btw, i use titanium backup, but it takes ages to recover all apps.

Everything seem to be working well.

However i seem to have two lock screens. One is as expected, the other is a plain black screen with textual versions of the graphics being displayed on the other screen.

It is NOT the screen saver.

any suggestions as to cause and/or fix?

Try this

Download TWRP for All Samsung Devices (ODIN Installation Steps Included)

From this comprehensive tutorial, you could download the latest TWRP Recovery for every Samsung device and then install it via the ODIN Tool.

Note, I have to do this every time I wish to update, after the update(dirty flash) it defaults to the screen you shared...

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] V8d8man:
Thanks for a brilliant build, I have used it as my daily drive for a while but I have one issue that is really annoying. I recentry re-flashed the rom and ever since the USB preferences is greyed out so I cant do file transfers.

I have tried:

New USB Cable (works on other phones).

Changed USB option to file transfer in developer mode.

Re-flashed the rom twice.

Restarted couple of times.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I installed 20210407 everything seme to be OK. In order to carry my app configurations forward i used TB to restore all my apps data.

However what seemed like a v stable install became less and less so.

I have had to do a complete wipe & reinstall. This time I setup each app by hand, and things seem much more stable.

I am not sure what the problem is/was.

Anybody got any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] zzz2002:
I have used TB for backup/restore for a long time, but recent problems (unable to bu "Media Storage"), have left me wondering if there might be a better alternative.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] mauam:
Personally I still use titanium backup 8.1.0. Alternatives, alpha backup from buggysofts on playstore (the pro version is worthy), swift backup or OAndBackupX here.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Mowca:
@Bertonumber1

did you install no verity opt encrypt before installing Magisk? If so, which version?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Trumphymakemoney:
For me one of the best is the Swift Backup Premium 3.5

Do anyone else experience strange behaviour while scrolling through web pages? I'd be scrolling/swiping to go down a page but would end up staying where I am or even scroll up if I'm not careful. In general, scrolling down is difficult.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] zzz2002:
Thank you Ivan.

Excellent ROM works very well, good battery life. Did not install Titanium Backup this round, and the things seemed to go "better", but I am not sure why.

Currently using OAndBackupX which works, although I am not quite comfortable with it. Tie will tell.

Once again thank you Ivan/

impressive rom.

Two bug

Camera : flash not working

Phone call : Echo

Possible solution ?

Thank You

Phone call echo can be reduced with lower call volume (lower then 1 ;) )

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] orsonbear:
About the echo problem.

Our phone has two microphones, one on the bottom and one on the top near the top speaker. The top microphone is for noise canceling and stereo recordings. If the ROM software works well, the sound of the upper speaker, even if picked up by the microphone at the top, is canceled and therefore there is no echo effect. If the sound picked up by the top microphone is not canceled and is mixed together with the sound of the bottom microphone then the echo effect occurs. The solution would be in bug-free audio software that cancels the sound picked up by the top microphone during phone calls. A workaround could be the mute of the top microphone during calls or its permanent mute (doing so the noise cancellation does not work). The upper microphone could be deactivated from the audio configuration file inside the rom, I don't have time now to do some tests but I hope that some advanced user or the rom's developer can do some tests. Cheers!

Regarding the camera, that's an old bug, give footej camera 2 a try.

Great Rom.

Thank you for everything.

I Would appreciate if you would make a build of Cyanogenmod based on Android 11 or Android 12.

As resurrection of Cyanogenmod,and make it Root pre-installed as Cyanogenmod was.

@Ivan_Meler

After installing lineage-18.1-20210505 only the loading screen appears and after 2-3 minutes the phone starts up in TWRP mode.

Currently I have installed:

lineage-18.1-20210407

Nikgapps-omni-20210124

Magisk 22.1

What could be wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] hobbyman@:
could someone please clarify or correct latest rom update instructions?

1.set up a downloading mode on your s7 edge

2.open odin and connect the phone with computer

3.upload twrp to odin and flash the phone.

4.restart, open twrp on the phone and open advance wipe

5.mark Dalvik / ART Catche and wipe.

6.open install in twrp and choose new version of rom file and install.

7.should i install also nikgapps and magisk if i already had installed them before update?

if yes, should i install rom first, then nikgapps and finally magisk separately or all together at once?

thanks and best of luck with your s7 edge !

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

reply from ivan_meler

for updating the rom magisk should auto reflash after rom update so no need to manually flash it but nikgapps had broken update survival script so you will likely have to reflash them after flashing the rom itself

another question to s7 edge lineageOS 18.1 users.

has anyone tried to connect this phone to a car? any tips? thanks and best of luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Skylane47:
I have been trying this rom for quite some time now, and all of the things I thought was bugs perhaps are just something that Android 11 do, except for one thing. NFC seems pretty bugged. I tested the stock Touchwiz Android 8.1 rom and it works fine, yet now with this rom, NFC seems to be in a somewhat unfunctioning state. Has anyone else had this issue with the newest May 5th version?

EDIT: I re-tested multiple ROMs and my conclusion is that Android 11 seems to be breaking the NFC in some way. All Android 11 ROMs that I tested (LineageOS, CrDroid, Evolution X) seems to have broken NFC. On the other hand, older LineageOS and Evolution X that are based on Android 10 seems to have their NFC working fine. So, if NFC is a feature that you use a lot, try sticking with Android 10 (Q) based ROMs for now.

In my car it works, the only problem: *OK Google" doesn't work. I have to use the microfone button of AndroidAuto instead.

There are two possibilitirs to run AA:

First one:

Use Nickgapps Full, AA is included but also all Google apps

Second one:

Use Nickgapps Basic plus the Addon AndroidAuto.

Good luck trying it!
