Somewhere I read that the real black mode for OLED displays will be back with the new Android/LOS.

That's why I'm still on 18.1

Is it already or will it be in the future?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] chomsky55:
You mean pure black mode so that the background in the settings menu is pure black? That was added with the last update.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Exciter666:
Ah ok, thank you.

So I'll check the next build.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] chomsky55:

@Ivan_Meler DUDE! I'm super happy you're still working on the S7. I recently had to use my S6 with Nougat for 3 weeks and it has been kind of a pain.

I would love to make the S7 my official backup phone LOL.

Any issue with in-call audio or fingerprint reader?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] derders:
read some pages back for call echo. fingerprint is working.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] exnokiafan:
Yeah mate. I have read those posts. It seems to be a random issue. But it might be worth to add these info to the first post.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] guillefs:
not work. nfc doesn't work either

install another samsung rom and neither the fingerprint reader nor the nfc works.

It's definitely not a ROM problem.

My fingerprint reader module and physical touch buttons have broken down.

I have already bought another phone to replace the s7 edge.

but I will continue to have it to experiment.

Tried everything previously mentioned in this thread to put the two banking apps I need to work, even with YASNAC Basic Integrity and CTS Profile already ok: clean system (without Magisk/root), Magisk 25.2+SafetynetFix/Shamiko/MagiskHide Props Config, HideMyAppsList, change the device fingerprint with MagiskHide Props Config... no one solved.

Banking apps:

Inter (gives an error after informing existing account and password)

Next (app closes right after opening)

Both apps works on Ivan's LineageOS 18.1, that has almost the same diagnostic and device fingerprint on MoMo, as attached.

EDIT: The same problem happens on crDroid 12L ROM.

Any idea how to solve it on 19.1?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] anan26:
I face this issue after enable and disable on screen nav bar several time. first time enable, it make my screen has gesture sign in the bottom (white border), and now, when I enable this option again, it show virtual navigation bar (back, home, recent app). and make app icon have bottom space in home
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
here it is August security update

Nothing major in this one as i am still working behind the scenes on that huge update i talked about previously which involves rewrite of almost whole graphics and media stack (its almost finished but i still have to do a bit more testing just to make sure there is no regression)

In other news android 13 should be released next month and since there were no major changes s7 should be running it soon after release with not too many issues and ill try to take a few days off from work to get it up and running on it once source is out

Once again huge thanks to everyone who supported this project, helped cover build server cost and got me coffee with donations.

This project wouldnt be alive without them as i do this in my free time as a hobby.

Enjoy new builds and stay safe

Pure black got added with the latest update.

Hi Ivan_Meler.

I can't say for sure if this is a bug or not, or if it's a defect in my phone display. At maximum brightness in the black theme, the display is not completely black, but more gray. If you do not push the brightness slider to the maximum, you can get a bright display and saturated black.

Thanks for the incredible firmware!

Happiness and good luck to you.

(I hope Google translated my monologue correctly.)

Greetings from Ukraine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] chomsky55:
Enable pure black mode. You can find the slider under settings/display/dark theme See my previous post.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] wadila:
Hello, I found the problem, it was the fact that the anti-flicker was turned on (which is in the LiveDisplay settings), it spoiled the black color for me at the maximum brightness of the display, after turning it off, the black theme revealed its black potential. :)

Thanks for the tips.

Happiness to you!:)

No you will lose all apps and data as far as I know.

In my device, The browser can not open app. It can't recognize intent::xxx url. I've search about the default browser and it is call jelly browser. But when I try to find out the latest version, I only found v11. This rom use v12. So, I think that is the latest. I like this browser because it's lite. Does the rom maintaince for the browser development too?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] geos_:
guys, can you confirm NFC working with this ROM? I noticed that on first page it doesn't mention NFC in "working section". I also found this post where someone post NFC firmware to fix the issues in previous official LineageOS 14.1:

First of all, thanks very much for your hard work on this.

I'm curious where did you get all the blobs needed for building, as I couldn't find all of them in official ROM. I want to build for myself in order to do experiments.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] pcenachi:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Hemuli:
Are you asking how to get them or where do they originate from? If the former, the manifest is available that should fetch everything necessary. https://github.com/ivanmeler/local_manifests/blob/hero_android12/roomservice.xml

If you're asking where they come from, I don't have the answer.

Hello,

@Ivan_Meler, thank you for your work during all years and your availabality in LOS threads.

I'm recently purchase a Bose NC 700 headphones and I'm encounter many stutter when I listen music on Spotify (every 30sec) on my SM-G930F.

I had try many changes in bluetooth parameters, developers options (codecs, frequency, ...) clear cache... on the device clear history, disappaired, appaired, change kernel with moro and thunder but nothing.

Sound cuts are still presents.

I had try your versions of LOS (without or with microG, even version on los-legacy)

The bluetooth signal is perfect on the ROM Floyd v5, v6, v7 and a old /e/ ROM previous year.

How to explain it ? I would like come back on this ROM but my heards don't like sounds cuts.

Someone does he a solution to my propose please ? Or adirection to solve this problem ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] essor-13:
Hi and thanks for the real nice job. It runs very well on my S7. I have an issue : On apps I can't display maps, I read it could be a webview issue. Do yoy have an idea on how to solve that ? MicroG can help but it creates other issues on apps (not displaying some windows).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] meesam3379:
VoLTE / VoWifi can't be implemented for now because of Samsung's proprietary implementation.

Same goes for HRM Sensor and some other things.

Finally took the leap from 18 to 19. Did a full wipe. First impressions are good. Feels snappy and the colours look more vibrant.

I did run into a couple of issues:

- I use a magnetic flip case and I believe there is a regression where the phone after opening the case will only show the time on a black screen. I remember having this issue on 18 way back. It was eventually fixed.

- The second issue might be more microg related. "android system intelligence keeps crashing" I froze the app for now. But that is not an ideal solution.

Amazing work! Amazing up-2-date ROM for an phone that is ~8 years old!

I only have two problems:

- WIFI stops working 1-2 times a day. It falls back to GSM (mobile data), WIFI search returns nothing

Work-Around: To get it working again I have to click on "reset internet"​

​

- Phone get stuck every second day.​

It just shows a black screen with a clock​

Work-Around: Device reset.​

​

I did initial a complete new setup. (wiped all - system, data, etc...)

Now I'm on the latest version via OTA. But both problems exists since first installation.

Any ideas?

I think i found a workaround for the navigation bar gap on the pixellauncher:

1. Open settings

2. Tap System

3. Tap buttons

4. Tap System navigation

5. Choose Gesture Navigation (if not choosen)

6. Tap on the settings button

7. Turn off Gesture indicator

8. Go to homescreen (Gap will dissapear)

9. Go to Settings -> System -> Buttons

10. Turn off Enable on-screen navbar

11. Enjoy

This worked on PE+ ROM i hope it will work on lineage too

Hello everybody, I was out for a long long time and come back with this issue for me. I installed this incredible rom and all is fine excepted french sim not recognised.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Thibou:
Hi Xavier,

I went back to LOS 18.1 since June but before that 19.1 was working perfectly when it was installed on my S7. My French carrier is Bouygues.

Did you do a clean install? → Wipe everything before flashing the ROM except external SD card, remember to backup the data from the internal memory before wiping it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Xavier92:
Thanks Thibou for quick answer ! Yes I made a twrp format data + total wipe before. But I didn't succeed in coming back to last oreo stock rom with odin to start from clean basement. But it is the same issue with 18.1 I just tested after your note. My carrier is orange. So I think I have to solve before the problem coming back to oreo stock but I don't know how.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Thibou:
That's strange. Be sure to have an up to date Odin version.

As an alternative you could try flashing a recent custom ROM based on Samsung's ROM (like LightROM or FloydQ).

Did you have working custom ROMs in the past or have you been using stock ROM until now?

What I really miss in this thread is an advice, which GAPPS work well with this custom rom?

No luck because error in TWRP 3.6.2_9-0 with:

- FlameGApps-12.0-basic-arm64-20220307.zip

- MindTheGapps-12.1.0-arm64-20220605_112439.zip

NikGapps-omni-arm64-13-20220904-signed.zip is flashable but "google play keep stopping" appears multiple times during first setup of the device. The "Getting your phone ready" circle stops after a while saying "Couldn´t connect", so wifi fails..

Of course I wiped caches before and after flashing.

Could anybody give a hint or advice to get it running?

Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] townkat:
do you flash it immediately after rom? before first boot ok? thats how gapps should be flashed..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ex novo:
Try format instead of wipe DATA and flash ROM and gapps together before start.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] meesam3379:
The FlameGApps you used are for 12.0 and this rom is android 12.1

And the NikGApps you used are for Android 13

Flash FlameGApps or NikGApps for Android 12.1/12L or SL
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] J_K_:
I know that this will not really help you, @VerbraucherX, but I flashed my S7 with LineageOS19.1 using TWRP 3.6.2_9-0-herolte.img.tar and FlameGApps-12.0-basic-arm64-20220307.zip (as you did) and it worked flawlessly (almost = it started first with a bootloop but recovered somehow) and works nicely ever since (I am not using a SIM though). Perhaps you should give it another try.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] meesam3379:
The first boot takes time so not a bootloop i guess
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] VerbraucherX:
Thank you all very much for your kind replys and advices!

@Ex novo: Yes I tested wipe and format also because it doesnˋt take much time, but had no luck.

Also I flashed ROM and gapps in a row. No booting inbetween.

@meesam3379: Yes I know there are differences but its hard to find gapps for Android 12.1/12L or SL. Could you please provide a link to a valid version?

I read of @J_K_ succeeded and used the same gapps version, but for me it sadly failed.

I would like to go on trying, but at the moment I run out of ideas what to try next..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sharkcow:
OK, this way it works. Thanks for that!

I was trying to start it by long pressing the recent apps button (set to split screen in settings), and there nothing happens. So it seems to be a bug in reading/executing that setting?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] meesam3379:
NikGApps Omni 12L

First Format Data (In case you havent already)

Then Wipe Everything (System, Dalvik, Data, Cache). Internal Storage can be excluded.

Install the ROM

Then without rebooting install the gapps

Reboot and wait for a while since the first boot takes time

Hi!

Finally got Android 12 after a year with android 11, thanks for your work!

Here's my big big problem.

For no reason (or I can't find it) after a couple of days and hours using the phone, when I decide to restart it, boots up just fine, and on the login screen the screen fades away rapidly, I don't know what's going on. I can do many restarts as I want and no problems until this problem shows up

It appeared also another time 3 days ago after changing some configuration for limiting battery charging, I wiped everything, reinstalled everything, used it just fine for 2 days without modifying something else and it comes back... :(

I also have a 128GB Samsung sd Card, I used it as a fully merged storage, but it seems too slowly for some apps (I don't think it's the problem because when I move it out of the phone it doesn't solve the problem, I've done that on LOS 18 / Android 11 for more than a year plus I now use it as an external storage.

Other things to know : latest TWRP version, magisk 25.2 + adaway, lucky patcher, viper4Android, modified dialer app, battery is in quite good condition. Access to TWRP easily, no bootloop

Charging LED is working, even with LineageOS loaded, vibration working as expected...

I don't know what to do. Thanks in advance !
