Flashed the latest build 3 days ago.

Performance and Battery improved vs stock.

The camera quality is poor.

I also experience random freezes and reboots for an unknown reason.

--Updates--

Tried crDroid, PixelExperience, dotOS, and back to LineageOS.

Just flashed yesterday with NikGapps 10-13-2021, so far I have no problems with it.

Very smooth with great battery life. So far no hiccups, no random freezes and reboots, and no hangs.

Maybe the problem with my previous installation was because of the NikGapps, I'm not sure tho.

The only downside is its camera app which has very poor quality.

Tried ZGCam but still, Samsung's stock cam is way better than this.

Thanks for this wonderful rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] LappyGB:
Hey all,

Anyone know how to get ODIN to flash back to stock? When I try with the stock ROM files I get an instant success message but nothing changes on the phone. Must be something I'm missing.

Cheers

No echo problem for me, everything stable and excellent battery life, very smooth overall.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] zzz2002:
Off topic?

I have set my phone to only accept incoming calls from my contacts.

1) is there anyway of doing the same for SMS?

2) do these settings apply to numbers/people that are not in your contacts. eg, you call a plumber for a problem. no point in putting them in you contacts as you are unlikely to call ever again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] mechul-1:

Hello there....

Which Gapps did you install?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] ewabem5:
the echo is on the receiving end
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] mrpops2ko:
i'll give testing out the call echo issue another go, as far as im aware no further dev time has been expended in pursuit of rectifying the call echo

lineage-18.1-20211005-UNOFFICIAL-hero2lte.zip is the one im trying now.

can confirm that this still has the echo issue present and any call received through any medium will result in an extremely loud and unusable echo heard by the receiver.

great rom if you plan to use your phone as something that isn't a phone, but completely unusable if you wish to receive calls.

I tried both

lineage-18.1-20211005-UNOFFICIAL-hero2lte.zip with the stock kernel and then also flashing it all again and using moro kernel - both unfortunately result in the same bad outcomes
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Roberto W.:
u already tried to use headset while calling?

the echo problem paired with the lack of the volte implementation will mean the end of this kind of roms in the near future. volte will be absolutely necessary when the 2g/3g technology is dismantled at the same time. there is probably nothing left (if u want to use a non-stock rom) but to buy a newer smartphone and not a samsung.

but anyway...thanks to the developers for their spending time to keep this old phone alive.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] mrpops2ko:
yep already tried and tested and can confirm echo is present.

I agree, volte will become absolutely necessary. Fortunately we have the likes of floyd rom and others with android 10, so it wont be the end of the world if we are just stuck on that forever.

who knows though, maybe someone will work out how to fix the echo problems and it'll get back-dated. I'm sure someone with kernel experience will be able to fix it, if they feel the motivation to dev. floyd rom was a very poor performer with its original stock kernel but once morokernel was made compatible it fixed a ton of issues, as well as massively increased performance.

The s7 edge is just far too much end of life now i think and most devs have moved away from doing proper support for the device, its now more like what low hanging fruit is available that can easily be back ported.

I really miss the automation quick panel where you can control smart lights / other devices by pressing the power button. Thats an awesome feature of android 11 and will likely mean I have to upgrade in the future to get it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ryu--X:
I just tested both calling and answering on google telephone/whatsapp : no echo at all...

Just for information, my provider doesn't use volte for now, and the test was on the same french provider.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] mrpops2ko:
as far as i know none of these android 11 roms support VoLTE and wont ever do.

As I said its the receiver (the person who accepts the call on the other end) is the one who hears the echo. Its present in all the android 11 roms. Its not about you personally hearing an echo, nor about you hearing an echo from the receiver.

The point of view is the person who is receiving the call, go get a second phone and have a buddy call you. They will be the ones who hear it, not you. It occurs whenever they speak, they will hear themselves back (echo).

I have tested multiple dialers, multiple roms, multiple alternative kernels - none of which have resolved the problem.

3g, 4g make no difference. I've tested both and both result in the echo.

Hi my phone's camera is stuck on macro focus,as you can see on the second photo,the subject is close and the focus is right but when the subject is far(third photo),it would not focus even if i press it.

Its the same on all camera apps,my phone is s7 edge and the version im using is in the first photo
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ryu--X:
That's what i did, of course !

who would i call, if it's not someone else ?? Myself ?

And the other human being told me there was no echo...

It wouldn't be my daily driver if i can't use my phone...to phone.

I'm saying that there are multiple cases/behaviour depending MAYBE from the provider, hardware, settings or else..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] mrpops2ko:
lol im guessing you didn't read it or look at the date it was posted?

i dont know what it is then, many of us are reporting the call echo. it is very surprising that there exists some who are not.

i've tried everything i can think of, and nothing i can think of fixes it.

perhaps if you have the time, can you provide information on your device?

i.e. what bootloader / AP/ CP / CSC you are using?

maybe that can shed some light into it, but i doubt it.

we kinda need to isolate what the difference between your device and mine is and what a known working 'good' config looks like.

Another progress update on 12, (we are getting closer and closer)

I figured out a way to boot 12 with current kernel with not that many updates, so expect a build hopefully next week due to my busy schedule, Build should be as functional as current 11 builds, Big thanks to everyone who supported this project as i do this in my free time and coffee keeps me up at times haha

Really this is ridiculous, 25 pages of jargon of which 90% makes no sense to me, no disrespect to anyone within these 25 pages of course, but why don't Lineage just make a version that has signature spoofing built in, or at the very least make it easier to incorporate?

Why would anyone install a cumstom rom other than to be able to minimise corporate scum from tracking our every move, that's pretty much the only reason I use Lineage. I just want a phone that has no samsung or google malware on but be able to use apps that require signature spoofing such as eBay too, is that too much to ask?

So frustrating having to try and decypher all this. Many drunken hours tonight wasted trying to comprehend jargon, I'm done, wishing you all better luck than I've had :)

I don't understand what's your rant is about, but since you mentioned signature spoofing you probably looking for microg, providing instructions here on how to install microg is not the developer's or anyone else's job, you have to look for it in it's appropriate place which is microg support, if you know how to search on Google you'll find what you're looking for and even find a whole lineage os rom with microg built-in which is on pare with the rom provided here.

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

Just a heads up Ivan. I installed the latest build ( wiping everything ) did not install any apps, and left it over night, the battery drain is very bad even though I had battery saver on, so went back to lineage-18.1-20210621, which is excellent, almost no battery drain in standby.

Not sure what is doing this, maybe the updated kernal?

I hope you are making steady progress on 12, me like many others really appreciate your hard work as you bring much joy to many of us keeping our beloved s7e alive and thriving :)

Does this ROM support 4K video recording? I'm thinking about switching to this ROM from Expressluke's Lineage 18.1 with MicroG, since that ROM only supports 1080p video recording, negating one of the strengths of the S7 Edge. If so, is a full wipe recommended coming from a variant of LineageOS? If not, is it a limitation of LineageOS drivers or Camera2API, etc? Thank you.

Latest build seems to have bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Hangoru:
Hello there!

I've been using this unofficial release of LineageOS for the past two months and I just wanted to give the devs and interested people some feedback!

Let's start by listing the things I liked:

The OS is very stable. I never experienced any crash or any data loss from the system

Most of the functionalities work as intended

Huge boost of battery life

Android 11 on a system that used to never go past Android 8

Very snappy, the UI never stutters

Even though I never found a use for it, a built-in Terminal is very nice

No bloat

Now for bugs I found/things I didn't like:

Camera app works around 20% of the time

Sometimes during a video call the camera will start to stutter/lag

WiFi will randomly stop detecting any available connections, needing to restart the system to fix the issue

Build uses public/test keys, so not that secure

Random broadcast alerts with random letters in them

Sometimes you can't change the wallpaper because the "change wallpaper app" crashes before you're able to select and/or set your new wallpaper

That's about it! Thanks @Ivan_Meler for the amazing job and great effort! I'd love see this project improve!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] DopeJam:

Does the camera work? Without "camera stopped working" now and than
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] headzy:
Yes it works perfectly, been using it on this build for many months and takes great pics using proshot, which is free from time to time, but also takes pretty good snaps using default app.

Never any crashes on it. Just make sure you wipe everything, no dirty flash.

Although the "Wireless Emergency Alerts" are enabled on my phone, including test alerts, they do not seem to be working on my S7 edge.

Anything known?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] m4rcus:
so what is it? does the camera actually work or not? anyone else care the chime in?

also

is a pretty MAJOR issue if true. again, anyone else?

Hi

I am really struggling to get this build up and running on a fresh install coming from AlexandRs ROM.

The problem i am faceing is that I cannot get Gapps to run properly after the first reboot. I am using latest TWRP.

I have tried normal Gapps Pico and Nano, and then afterwards NikGapps Basic.

With NikGapps Basic the Google initial Installation Screen (Enter Location, Google Account etc) is not even shown, only Lineages one. With Gapps the Google Greeting was shown, but failed to connect.

Any hints ?

EDIT: PlayStore neither was shown, only Aurora Services, Aurora Store etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Cologneblood:
Here is perhaps a solution for all those who have the problem of frequent WiFi disconnects.

I also had this problem quite massively (S7 Edge, Lineage OS 18.1 version 05.11.2021, Nikgapps Basic plus various AddOns). After I changed the WPA3 encryption on the router to WPA2, the problems became much less.

Today I installed OpenGapps Micro (current version 25.11.21) instead of Nikgapps. Since then (14:00 h) I have had no more problems with WiFi. Router is running again with WPA3 plus WWPA2.

By the way, "OK Google" also works now. With Nikgapps Basic it only worked with AndroidAuto.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] faramirza:
