[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] PietjePuk75:
On Thursday I'll go to a local electronics store and then hope to find out if there's a way to salvage that cable. It's actually the connector itself, so if 'we' can attach alternative wires to that, then I may have a functioning cable again.

There were a few things instrumental for my 'rescue' operations:

SDK Platform Tools for Linux I used to have the full SDK, but for some reason its adb tool didn't have the command I needed ``adb pair`` which was needed for ...

adb via Wi-Fi connection using command line Starting with Android 11 you no longer need to first make a connection via a cable. And this worked really well!

There was another connector in the SGS7 box and for the longest time I had no idea what to do with it. It has a normal USB-A connector on the other side, but whatever cable I plugged into that, I couldn't use it for adb or for charging. At some point I figured out you can use it for USB-OTG, thus to plug an USB stick into the phone. So now I could put all the files I needed on a USB stick and plug that into the phone. So even for that I no longer needed my broken USB cable \o/

And then there was quite a bit of trial and error. I had made 3 types of backup and that helped, but when it looked like I needed to restore my old OS (and Signal) and the NANDroid restore seemed to fail, that's when I got worried.

I don't know anymore how I ended up at dm-verity as the (possible) culprit as there was really very little of useful info wrt the error message I got. Maybe I got a bit of luck after all? ;-P

It could be that I was actually running into a bug in my previous attempts, but I assumed every time that I was probably doing something incorrectly. It would've been more complicated if I actually did run into a bug. (And maybe I had, but found a workaround?)

Why did you do that and how? What is 'efs'?

When I upgraded to this ROM, I noticed an exclamation sign near the network icon and it indicated that Cellular data wasn't working, so that's still an issue I need to resolve. Resetting Access Point Names to default may help here? (That's at least a hint I found)

Cellular data is working fine on my old OS version/ROM.

Many thanks and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family, @Ivan_Meler

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Question:

will Android 14 have support for formatting sdcard as internal storage?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] walttheboss:
I just installed this ROM with NikGapps Omni and latest Magisk. As always @Ivan_Meler fantastic work.

Seems like a dumb question but I cannot find always on display? Has it been removed? Thanks in Advance.

[EDIT] Now the AOD does come on but still can't figure out how to configure it.

MORE importantly now is the task of maintaining root and using my banking app.

http://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/herolte/install/ Is this install guide still valid and up-to-date? I unlock bootloader simply by enabling OEM unlocking? Edit: yes you just have to enable oem unlocking in settings. Where is the official guide in xda how to install this LineageOS rom and Magisk? @Ivan_Meler Could you please write an official guide yourself just in case? Or even better a video tutorial.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] walttheboss:
Enable Dev Options

Tap on Build number a bunch of times.

Enable OEM unlock

Don't reverse this decision as it may cause trouble.

Enable adb debugging

Not needed if you are not using adb but can't hurt.

Reboot to be safe

Place needed files on sd card formatted to fat 32

no-verity

Only needed if you will be going back to a Samsung ROM

ROM

I recommend the one in this thread.

GAPPS

I use NikGapps arm64

Magisk

download the latest from the github page

rename .apk to .zip after download.

That allows TWRP to flash it

Use odin to install latest twrp

Place the .tar file in the AP box

Before you hit start in ODIN hold the Volume up, home, and power keys and hold them till TWRP show up on the phone.

Yes you need a few hands to do this.

reboot to recovery(from twrp) to avoid overwrite with stock recovery.

Enable Modification on the opening TWRP page

Wipe /data.

you will need to type yes to do this

You can wipe all but the SD Card

Choose install

You will need to choose the sd card as the source

Line up all the files to flash at one time

ROM

gapps

Magisk

Boot System

Open the Magisk app and follow the prompts till all done.

It will ask to reboot a couple of times

I continue to have very inconsistent success with AOD(Always on Display). I don't mind the battery drain. Sometimes it works and most of the time it does not. I have this ROM installed with NikGapps OMNI and all is working great.

Thanks for any tips.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] XceS01:
Dear Dev,

Coming from LineageOS 20 (needs a bit more time in the oven), and trying out this one.

Device: Samsung Galaxy S7: SM-G930F (herolte), using LineageRecovery to flash, lineage-19.1-20231211-UNOFFICIAL-herolte.zip with MindTheGapps 12.1.0-arm64 (NikGapps gives problems with Location Services among other things)

Notes so far:

- The Camera App does not have the option to change the Save location. I use an SD Card as storage and cannot set the App to use external storage instead of internal. Location tagging doesn't work at all. Even with another Camera App.

- Still cannot add an Exchange Account anymore, just need the Calendar Sync. Need to use a workaround like the BlueMail App. Another fix is installing the GMail app which adds the Exchange Account feature, but won't work if you have the same email across platforms.

- The Argenta App is still having fingerprint issues, works for all other apps on this ROM and worked on stock ROM. See this thread, apparently it's recently been fixed in a nightly build: https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/3673

- Bluetooth range and connection is just as bad as on LineageOS 20, and much worse than Stock

- After the Update from January 2024 was pushed, Fingerprint Scanner functionality has been entirely removed ?

Keep up the good Work !

Kind regards

Dear guys,

I went to nick gapps site. The only packages that i find are for ARM64 (NikGapps-stock-arm64-12.1-20231107). The S7 that I have is based on EXYNOS 8890 - 2,60 Gigahertz based on arm architetture.

Someone know if this versione of NickGapps Works. I went also on GAPPS website but there isn't ANDROID 12 version. The last Versione is Android 11. I Only find Mind the gapp witch may be compatible.

Thank for your help.

sry for my bad english.

Emanuele
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ex novo:
The Galaxy S7 is ARM64. I prefer to use NickGapps core: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nikgapps/files/Releases/NikGapps-SL/07-Nov-2023/

If you install NickGapps full you may have problems because some LineageOS apps will be replaced by Google ones.

The official LineageOS recommends using MindTheGapps:

Google apps | LineageOS Wiki

wiki.lineageos.org

But I never had problems using NickGapps core.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Superugo:

Some of you have problems with call audio?

the person receiving a call hears the echo of my voice.

Is there any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Phinxy:
I have the echo too. Well, the caller hears himself after a delay. Got the volume at max because of bad hearing, probably making it worse. The echo makes it impossible to have an conversation. A fix for this would be a blessing but probably will have to install original samsung firmware. The issue is about noise cancellation drivers being proprietary or something.

Yes, but it is not on all phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
Well...

Many thanks to @Ivan_Meler for the upgrade of 19.1 for the S7, just have installed it with the internal installer two hours ago.

But because there is no annoucement from Ivan, I now worry a littlebit, that this update was from him.

🤔
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Not_Rich:
Many thanks to @Ivan_Meler for the ROM's, 19 is my favourite, Lineage 20 has issues with the screen staying on for me.

Do you think that s7 model sm-g930f has the same bug in lineage os 20?

it is, i just didnt have time to post it on xda

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] myanonymousaccountname:
@Ivan_Meler Today I encountered a very wierd bug or smth. I turn on the screen and it just shows a black screen with clock and date at the upper left corner. I could not enter pin or anything, just shows that screen. I didnt try to call my phone when I just had this bug but what if this bug prevents me from recieving an important call if it happens again? I had to force shut off my phone by holding volume buttons and power button. How stable is this rom? Also, do not enable higher touch screen sensitivity, it just messes everything up, lucky i could even enter settings from quick bar from home screen quick bar so i could turn it off because the touch responses are completely off and messed up with this setting on. This happened on 19.1 december (23?) update. Galaxy s7 exynos ofc. Updated to january update now.

Does anyone have any comments on the stability/usability of Ivans 19.1 vs 20.0?

My daily S7 is on 18.1 and the spare is on 20.0. So far, I'm missing the network traffic monitor and battery charge limiter on 20.0.

I'm wondering if I should test 19.1?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
I had worked with Ivans 20, but went back to Ivans 19.1 because 19.1 allows formatting sdcard as internal memory.

It runs fine. No problems. Also so echo when doing phone calls. I am happy with it.

I hope, that @Ivan_Meler will activate sdcard formattting as internal in 21, if this will be possible there, then I will give 21 a try.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Superugo:
Yes the only very big problem is the echo but i think is some bug with lineage os. When I have 8 years ago the motorola moto g I had the same bug.

If i want to use encryption without the rom going into a bootloop (as reported on 19.1) do i need to downgrade to 18.1? how do i downgrade to 18.1? have to wipe all data aka format and reinstall?

What ROM are you talking about exaxtly that has bad battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
if you are updating without wanting to do clean install why would you wipe system..

All you are doing by wiping system on dirty update is braking addon.d scripts which will cause update to fail

YES YOU CAN

You just need to wipe out cache and dalvik cache after updating
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Flo.K.:
Thanks. I tried this at first. But there I got at first the Error, because of this I tried it with Wipe.

I think my SD Card had some Problems.

Downloaded again the Build and with an other Card the installation works fine.

I tried to disable the charging LED, but the Light is on, although the battery LED is disabled.

Thank You for your Work!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
ah yeah twrp can be weird when installing stuff from sdcard sometimes, didnt even think of it.

Yeah light settings are not yet implemented in LineageOS fully tho hal itself is ready so once there is support for lights control added to lineage they will work fine
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jfs_100:
Hey Ivan_Meler,

First thanks for the ROM! Runs smooth.

I just recognized some points that not work properly on my device:

- Bluetooth connection with my Garmin watch: does not remain constantly connected, connection is only established when S7 is active.

- Network Traffic is always shown 0MB for carrier and WLAN

- Batterie History: does not remain constantly connected, connection is only established when S7 is active.

- GMAIL, Threema, Signal (and other Apps like News apps): update only when you open them (no notifications while S7 not active). Telegram X, WA and SMS seem to work.

- Maybe it has something to do with the last point. Status/Notification LED light does not work always. Additionally even if "LED-Notification while active display" is activated, it goes out as soon as the display is on, even if the notification is still pending.

- Button light is already discussed...

Best Regards

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Flo.K.:
I think you have to Tap long on the home screen, then start screen preferences --> Lock layout disable, then it should be work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Flo.K.:
For Notifications you can try disable battery optimization. I don't have any Problems.

Go to Preferences--> Apps--> Your APP (e.g. Signal) --> Battery --> choose no optimization

Latest build working great, nice and smooth. Magisk installed and g-viduals seems to working too. As soon as I installed, the lineage green disappeared and everything has this champagne colour.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] thebeastX:
Clean Flash:

Wipe | Factory Reset

Install | ROM + GApps + Magisk

Dirty Flash:

Wipe | Advanced Wipe | Dalvik + Cache

Install | ROM + GApps + Magisk

- With Clean Flash you will lose data, Dirty Flash will just update the existing ROM so all data remains.

- It's recommended to do a Clean Flash when you change ROM or if something is broken. Otherwise just Dirty Flash.

- Use the "Add Zips" button to install all 3 in one go.

If there is something I'm missing, let me know and I'll edit the post. But I'm pretty sure that's it. Happy flashing :)

Hello first of all Ivan amazing work as always, smooth as butter.

One annoying issue flashing lineage-19.0-20211220-UNOFFICIAL-herolte.zip clean is no backlight on buttons - it is working fine in twrp so not hardware. Backlight is enabled in settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] SmartphoneOwner:
This feature is still not implemented in lineageos 19. It will be in future releases.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Skyterix:
I found a bug. I couldn't move icons around on the home screen so held my finger and click "Home settings". The first option is "lock layout", and it apparently is inverted you need to turn it on and you can move apps again on the home screen. I am not sure if that is something you can fix but writing it here just in case.

Now I went to LOS21
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] myanonymousaccountname:
Why? What do you gain from these newer android versions? Mostly all the same since android 11. I really dislike the new oversized quick settings toggle ui since 12, they keep turning on when i try to switch pages. Can i somehow get android 11 quick settings back? My favorite is miui 11 quick settings and recents tab Perhaps with some magisk module or smth? @Ivan_Meler

How is your experience with the battery drain in LOS 21?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Shiningb:
Hmmm

SOT is being a little inconsistent at times but I noticed an improvement in Deep Sleep Battery Drain

Bear in mind that I'm comparing it to my previous ROM which was Lineage 18

LOS21 is very stable with the only thing that bothers me being the laggy animations of Status Bar or when using recentes button, both being fixable by setting custom animation values through ADB

They are laggy especially when compared to LOS19
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Shiningb:
I see

Hmmm

Android 11 is very stable, even more so than the recent ones

You also have the option to remain there

I've been using and I think it is one of the most stable Android Versions of our phone...

I like the new aesthetics of the newer Android Versions though

I just want to test it but if any issue happens that would be a burden to deal with during my job, I shall return to LOS18 as it is the most stable one
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
Thank you.

But I am no so firm with the shortings. What is "SOT", please?

Myself use actually LOS 19.1, I think about to change, but worry because of memory.

Is it correct, that also in LOS 21 apps can be moved from internal memory to (a very fast) mobile sdcard?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] myanonymousaccountname:
sometimes the touch is shifted or sort of out of place when i boot to recovery from power button and then baxk into the system, then i restart and its fine. but 12 has network speed traffic monitoring, if im correct los 18 doesnt have that. a12 los 19 works fine in general, just dislike the unpolished recents and quick settings.
