Ill probably wait few more days till google releases January 2022 security update so i can push new build with it included, other than that there are a few small device side improvements like added back renderscript support, Big thanks to everyone who supported this project so far as they helped kep this project up 5 years after s7's release
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] xabu:
Starting to learn how to use Odin, Magisk, TWRP, ADB and also the use of this Forum and website, it was very discouraging that I could not manage to give my phone the look that I wanted. I thought that I installed your Rom Android 12 as a complete novice. The result was a little bit of a mess. It took me a long time to find out how to make the next steps. The result is that I do not think it was because of a bug but because of wrong interpretation of the words used in the explanation by Lineage of "can and can't". The slider should be on (lit) if you want to move around with pictograms and widgets etc.

Some of you already noticed this, but maybe because of their experience .... if you are new to all this, and you know that many things can go completely wrong if you persist with wrong settings .... you become extremely careful. Anyway the problem was caused by a wrong sentence at the slider and not because I can't read.

Thanks Ivan_Meler for this wonderful and encouraging adventure, hoping you'll have a wonderful 2022.

And also thanks Topjohnwu for a great Magisk 23 that makes every Custom-Rom shine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] easylivin:
Did you install MicroG as well?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ymz1376:
for the update, do I have to come to this post and install a new ROM from TWRP every time?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] :
So, after two weeks of running my S7 with LOS 19 as a daily driver here are some thoughts:

1. The OS is smooth as butter. No glitches no problems with UI, phone doesn't hang.

2. Battery life is awesome given it's not a new phone (1,5 days on one charge! That's better than my iPhone SE 2020 on iOS 15.3)

3. Phone calls quality is great, no echoing, sound is clear both on my end and on the caller's

4. The camera app seems to be quite laggy, but I installed another one and all is fine (not a big issue given I don't shoot with phone that often)

5. One drawback is that I can't configure GPay (rooted/modified phone but maybe someone has a solution for that) but still I do carry my wallet with me so...

6. Apart from the one above all apps run perfectly fine no problems with notifications.

All in all thanks to this update I really start to think about ditching iPhone as a daily driver, and keep it as a device for testing iOS apps at work, and coming back to Android. Thank you very much @Ivan_Meler for this ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] xabu:
Installed Magisk ? As long as Google might notice that your phone is rooted, GPay won't function.

Best solution might be Magisk (to hide that the device is rooted).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] easylivin:
Okay, so, install and activate it properly. Eventually you will have to reinstall WA in order to register it with MicroG.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] :
I did it just now, but GPay still says that the phone was rooted or modified in some other way

Ok it works now I didn't hide it from google Pay 😝😝
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] xabu:
Don't forget to hide the Magisk app itself !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Zuikkis:
Huh.. you really shouldn't install microg for normal use. It's just for those who don't want any Google stuff on their phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] easylivin:
Well, installing and activating MicroG is my way to make the system send Push notifications with Ivan's LOS 19.0. I don't know Gapps and if they contain a module for FCM.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Zuikkis:
I also installed this now. :) I'm coming from FloydQ so I did full wipe. Lots of work to get all apps working again, but now it's done. :)

Working really well. Smooth and stable! And banking apps work with Magisk Hide enabled.

I do seem to have the problem with push messages. For example, I have 2FA enabled in my google account. When logging to some google site from a new browser, it says "Click Yes on your Samsung S7 to proceed" but absolutely nothing happens on the phone.

It seems bitgapps has "battery optimization" on for all Google apps, perhaps it needs to be disabled for some? Or perhaps Nikgapps is better choice?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
Well here we go first build of the year, andquite a big one while at it

About camera, As some of you might be aware camera tends to crash afterprolongued use, Im investigatinga fix for it but due to nature of issue itself it might take time

to figure this out completely and what the best way to deal with it is.

Andfinally huge thanks toeveryonewho supported this and other projects of mine so far as they help me cover the build server cost and get me a coffee with their donations, 2022 marks 5 years since release of s7 and im glad i can help in keeping them alive on latest android version with latest security updates

Hope you all had great holidays, Enjoy new build and stay safe in 2022
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] aykuut:
Hey, the ROM is incredibly fast and smooth but I noticed some issues:

- The navigation button backlight can't be disabled in settings, it always resets to default

- The status bar has more padding on the right than on the left

@Happy0 @easylivin

Hey I think I figured this one out.

Google Play Services is missing the notification permission! This is hidden in weird place in settings, different than all other permissions:

Settings->Notifications->Device & app notifications

By default, only "Trebuchet" was listed there as "allowed", and Google Play services was "not allowed"...

Change the settings and reboot, and all the "stuck" notifications start flowing. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
go to launcher settings and allow modifications if you are on latest build, someone finally fixed toggle that was inverted
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] :
One quick question do I need to wipe everything to update? Or simply run the install in TWRP? I am on LOS19 from December. And do I need to reinstal NikGapps?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Zuikkis:
Just wipe Cache and Dalvik. TWRP offers that automatically after install is finished.

I always install rom+gapps+magisk, but I think gapps and magisk actually have addon scripts so they will survive updating and reflash is not actually necessary? But it's so easy to add the zips to queue and that method has always worked. :)

@Ivan_Meler this is an excellent ROM. You should push this to official status, I can't see how this ROM is any worse than the official LineageOS versions? And enjoy your coffee. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] :
Ok, patching in progress we will see.

Alright it works fine.

@Ivan_Meler I also think that this ROM shold be moved to official
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
There are some issues preventing it from going official mainly the fact we are using some hals compiled from Samsungs Exynos 8890 BSP source which is not public, and lineageos doesnt allow use of non public bsp source officially sadly
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] :
Official or not I'm not going back to iPhone :) thanks a lot
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] gw1024gb:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] hmendes3:
Thank you so much for the new 2022 build. It's getting better and better ;)

Already installed it and my bugs are only:

- Proximity and light sensors are not working (maybe it is some hardware problem i have?)

- The SIM card (and WiFi) data usage is not counting. (it's always 0MB)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ymz1376:
Most important bugs fixed in the new version Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] easylivin:
Install it via TWRP, wipe Dalvik and cache, that's it. Oh, no, reboot! ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Zuikkis:
Hmm I seem to have some wifi issue, sometimes it gets really slow. Doesn't die completely, but some www pages load forever. Switch to LTE and everything is fine.

Not a big issue for me because I have unlimited mobile data plan, but sometimes wifi has better coverage.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] :
That's because this Rom is so awesome that it doesn't use up your bandwidth, it has it's own :)

Superb ROM with excellent battery life. Daily driver for a few weeks now and no problems. Thanks x
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] l4n1xg:
Hi guys. Thanks @Ivan_Meler awesome ROM

Anyone with charging issues? It takes ages for full charge

Edit: changed the cable and it will take now 1h and 20mins until full charge. Weird, last I used lightrom and had no issues with the same cable.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ghoppa:
@Ivan_Meler you truly are amazing, thank you so much!

I am wondering a couple of things. I use LOS18 microg version as my daily driver, but I'd really like to update to 19.

Can I dirty flash this on top of my version? And if this is the case then I will have to flash microg again, right? Also, when (and if) the LOS microg version gets updated with your build, will I be able to flash it on top of this without too many issues?

Sorry, it's just that I have many things set up on my phone that I'd rather try to dirty flash, even though I don't usually like to do it.

Thank you so much anyway, really, you're keeping this (and many other) devices alive, and they work great!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] padraigdoran:
Use AccuBattery to monitor charging amps to get a good indication of different chargers and cables.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
oh hey when microg version gets updated you will be able to just flash it without wiping stuff as there are no gapps in way that could break anything, but i would take a backup first.

In theory its possible to do it with gapps too but you would have to find package that inclues same apps previous one did
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ghoppa:
Perfect, I dirty flashed this build yesterday and then flashed microg and related components and it worked like a charm! Everything seem to work without issues, and the ROM even seem snappier than 18.1.

Thank you for your advice and keep up the amazing work, you truly are a monster! :love:🤩
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] pawpawel:
Hello gentlemen, what to install and where are some links from? - is the rom suitable for everyday use, i.e. camera, internet, video -netfix - youtube, and music
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ttmob4:
This is Los 19...from Ivan M...of course it is stable...and usable as a daily driver...The ROM is on the first page of this thread. When you have loaded it and used it buy Ivan a coffee!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Zuikkis:
Does anyone have the Google Weather widget? It should be listed under "google" in the widgets, but it's not there.

Some thread suggested that it becomes available if you join Google app beta testing program in Google Play, but that didn't work either.

It shows the quality of this ROM that this is my only problem at this moment. :D

Hi I have a problem with the backup seedvault I did not find information in google, namely I do not want to do any backup, and this application is built into the system and pops up in the notification every time I turn on the phone is annoying you can not disable notifications for this application or uninstall it. Can I at least somehow remove this notification so that it does not pop up and is not there as a notification in the notification bar?

(In the screenshot is the language of Polish because it is my native language)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Zuikkis:
You can select the backup provider in settings->system->backup.. there's the regular Google cloud backup available there, but seedvault is the default.

The seedvault backup is a local encrypted backup. Is cool if you don't like Google.

Hi there,

so i tried crDROID, and /e/ OS, but failed to get the mirroring from android to TV (Samsung TV from 2016 or ROKU device). Tried with a Gigaset GS290 and Samsung S7.

Every time enabling screen cast no device is found. Ensured all devices are in the same WIFI.

Can anyone confirm that with this rom it is possible to cast from device to TV?

For /e this iussue is known, tracked here (not only for FP3):

Seen also a issue for LOS.

Would be great to hear from you :)

Kind regards

Ivan, thank you so much for keeping the S7 alive. Your work is amazing 👍.

One question: vibration is not working properly when I receive messages. It only makes very short stuttering vibrations, that are barely noticeable. When I receive phone calls, everything is fine.

Is this a known bug or did I miss anything in the settings?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] cliffyboro:
I actually mirrored my phone to my fireTV today and seemed to work ok. Only failed because of weak wifi connection.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Steve Punter:
I've been having trouble with TWRP, but the solution mentioned earlier in this forum doesn't address it. I have no trouble installing Lineage 19, BtiApps, or Magisk. The OS works just fine, but when I reboot into TWRP, I get the splash screen, but it just sits there indefinitely.

Earlier messages suggested that reflashing TWRP with Odin would cure the problem, but no matter how many times I reflash, or which build of TWRP I use, it still locks up. My only solution is to flash STOCK RECOVERY and perform a factory reset. I can now reflash TWRP and it works fine, but after I reboot Lineage 19, the problem returns.

Can anyone suggest a way around this, because I'm at a dead end.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] pawpawel:
Gentlemen, where to download the file from gapps
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] xabu:
Steve,

You don't mention the version of TWRP. Anyway you should use 3.6.0_9-0. This might make the difference. Flash it over an older version ... no problem but only 3.6.0_9-0 , you'll find it on the official TWRP website and is in the upkeep of @Ivan_Meler ...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Steve Punter:
The highest version of TWRP that seems to work AT ALL on my S7 is 3.5.1_9-0. Anything higher will suffer the same locked-in-splash-screen fate no matter what. Attempting to flash 3.6.0_9-0 will result in a yellow-tinted splash screen that just sits there, and this is EVER BEFORE I install Lineage 19. If I have to use this build of TWRP, do you have any idea why it refuses to even work on my S7 to begin with? My model is the SM-G930W8 (the Canadian version with the Exynos 8890).

UPDATE: I had a closer look at the later versions of TWRP I'd been trying to install and I discovered a subtle difference. The one I'd tried to install was called:

twrp-3.6.0_9-0-hero2lte.img.tar

I missed that "2" in there, and so I obtained the correct file, which was of course:

twrp-3.6.0_9-0-herolte.img.tar

That one installed correctly. I will try reflashing Lineage 19 using that build of TWRP and see if the problem goes away.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] xabu:
twrp-3.6.0_9-0-hero2lte.img.tar is created for the S7 EDGE .....small but important difference. Enjoy your weekend !

Thanks to Ivan for keeping this device alive.

My first custom ROM was CyanogenMod on my S2. Yesterday I was still running Ivan's LOS 16 build, today it's LOS 19, but omg what happened to the OpenGapps project? Easy and user-friendly, just pick your package and install, no messing with configs.

Going through the documentation for a standard installation of BitGapps I'm asking myself if I got something completely wrong here.

Do I really have to install an additional recovery tool to install additional packages or change values in config to get the usual Samsung Setup Wizard? Any hints are highly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ttmob4:
NikGapps is easier to install...choose your core items and then choose add on packages. Load your ROM and then each NikGapps zip file in TWRP before rebooting into system.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] blinthor:
Hi,

1 Day ago I uploaded rom19.0 with NikGapps Core on 930F from the original version. A clean rom with no million useless apps. This is one of the best rom I have used.

Thanks to Ivan for great rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
Thanks for your reply. Didn't want to give up and got BitGapps running including config and Addon installation. Only thing I'm currently missing is the swipe input method when writing.

Anybody with BitGapps who can guide me on this one?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Zuikkis:
You can install Gboard from play store. Regular lineageos keyboard doesn't do swipe, I think .
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
Yeah, did that. Usually the AOSP keyboard should be able to, but not sure if these features were implemented. Thanks anyways.

Is the eleven music player no longer part of LOS? Missing this one as well. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
Well here we go quite a big update mid week (covid hit me so i had more time to mess with s7 instead of doing actual work haha)

Anywya here is a brief changelog

- Enabled selinux (Its enforcing now)

- Moved audio hal to vendor

- Fixed confirmation dialog box for button backlight

- Fixed ok button which would go missing for button backlight

- Switched to source built secril_config_svc (used for ds detection)

- Removed obsolete debug.sf.disable_backpressure prop

- Merged latest security updates to kernel from aosp kernel/common

- Cleaned up source

- Cleaned up unused props

- Removed unused custom ld.config.txt that was overriding main one

- Misc performance and stability improvements

- Synced with LOS source

there are quite a bit of changes this time around, biggest being that selinux is now enforcing once again.

Once again big thanks to everyone who supported this project so far as their donation help cover the build server cost and get me a coffee.

There might be few more updates in the coming days if i find anything device side that needs improvements as i have to stay home anyway so might as well do something productive

enjoy new build and stay safe
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] headzy:
Very nice indeed Ivan, dirty flash went into bootloop, but did a proper wipe and fresh install, and love the updates, I have noticed screen on time since last full charge now recording, no clipping of app icons at the top in the app drawer, that is just what I have noticed having a quick play, impressive.

Hope you get better soon :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
Oh weird that you had to clean flash, i tested both clean and dirty update. For dirty update i had to also reflash the gapps
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] headzy:
Ahh, never tried reflashing bitgapps, maybe this is why it was stuck in a boot loop.
