Does anyone have a link for the Correct GApps for a Galaxy S7 SM-G930F ??

Can't seem to be able to find an Android Version 12 anywhere.

Any other GApps i trey results in Error code 20 ...

Hello.

Great ROM, but still there's a main issue (at least on my SM-G930F) : phone call quality is awful barely understandable with some people. Metalic mono ultra low quality sound with frequent crackling noises.

Dont know where to look to provide some debug stuff, but would gladly do it to get rid of this issue.

This "robot voice" in phone calls started in Jan-18 release. Earlier versions didn't have it. There is this bit in the change log:

"- Moved audio hal to vendor"

Perhaps @Ivan_Meler could try to revert that change, if it is the one causing it?

Really during phone call, the other person sounds like Cylon from Battlestar Galactica. :) That's quite neat effect, but sometimes makes understanding difficult.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ttmob4:
I do not get any voice issues on either WiFi calls (e.g. Whatsapp) or using SIM. Speaker mode sometimes has echo at other end...depends on how much background noise and how close speech is to bottom microphone. So for me voice is easily usable and everything else on the ROM is excellent...thanks Ivan!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ScanX:
I can confirm that. That's why I went back to LOS 18.1, where there is no problem.

@Ivan_Meler

Since you liked the post above, i assume you don't have the problem on your device. Can it be related to different CSC or MODEM/CP?

I get Always the same issue:

WLAN turns off while using / Display is Black after a while don't use:

Case:

I use this device as Monitor for security cam, i turn Display on, connect and watch.

After a short time display turns black and I hear the voice from security cam.

But after a while WLAN turns off and it's not possible to turn it on without reboot

Maybe anyone can helping for this old device.

Rescue version maybe stock Rom
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
Did you try disabling wifi and then enabling it again? Maybe try to switch to flymode in between.

Maybe it would be helpful to enable data usage mode always on to have the possibility to switch between networks just in case wifi signal drops. There should be a setting for this in dev options.

Regarding the display turning off I have no clue, hopefully someone else is able to give you a better feedback.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] dferferfer:

Flashed the ROM today, very smooth experience so far 👍.

Cant find the quick settings tile for LiveDisplay / Night Mode, is there a setting to enable to get LiveDisplay in the quick settings? I thought its implemented into Lineageos, is there a way to get this tile?

Some minor things i have found:

I think the brightness bar is not correctly mapped in some way. You have to put it very high (like 80% to get th display decent bright and the last 20% are very compressed, they make it very bright).

And the setting to show the icon for adaptive brightness next to the brightness bar is not working.

But these things are really no problem, the ROM is working very well and smooth so far.

Really nice work @Ivan_Meler

Hi Ivan,

Any news on the front of the poor call quality sound.

I come from LOS 17.1 and the call sound quality was A1 but with LOS 19.0 it is awfull.

Everything else is working fine, I am on a SM-G930W8 in North America.

Thank's!

Hello,

I have two G930F phones in use and upgraded both to LOS 19. Most is working fine, but on oneof them there is no battery shown in the status bar. Battery is also not shown in the setting for the status bar in settings - system - status bar..... On the other S7 everthing is ok.

I flashed everything again (incl. NIKApps) cleared dalvik and cache - no change. The two S7 have fifferent baseband version, but that should be normal. Did I something wrong? Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ephemunch:
Seems like I bricked it.

Installed TWRP successfully. Wiped and because of error in "DATA" I wanted to change partition-format of DATA from ext4 to exFAT and back to ext4. After that I wanted to wipe DATA clean.

But it freezed while formatting exFAT. So I restartet it to Download Mode again and back to Recovery-Mode (TWRP). But it only shows me TWRP screen without buttons or anything else.

Already reinstalled TWRP through Download-Mode and Odin but after restart to Recovery it shows me only TWRP symbol screen.

This also has happened to me few hours ago, first time seeing this after years of using twrp, looked youtube and non elglish speaking videos on what to do using fastboot program, but no luck, tried reflashing 3 different versions of twp but all of them stuck on twrp logo no buttons.

Tried flashing stock rom and get fail in odin.

cant turn off, just waiting for it to run out of battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ephemunch:
did you try StockROM from SamFirm?

I've tried it now (+ Odin) and at least it's working again with StockROM without TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ScanX:
In my experience twrp-3.2.2-0-herolte.img always starts. You can then format data and use sideload to flash.

After that return to latest TWRP.

And here it is build with camera properly fixed

- Fixed issue where camera would stop working after prolonged use

- Misc performance and stability improvements

- Merged some more lineageos features that have been posted to gerrit

- Synced with LOS source

keep in mind February security update has not been merged yet and should be in a few days so ill post new build once security update is ready

This really took a long time to fix properly (almost 2 years i would say) especially without disabling fdsan system wide

This fix will be ported over to 17.1 and 18.1 builds too but before i release them ill hold on till february security update is out

Next thing on my todo list is to somewhat mitigate echo in calls some users are experiencing

Once again big thanks to everyone who supported this project and helped cover the build server cost and got me coffee

Enjoy new build and stay safe
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Zuikkis:
Thanks for you excellent work. :)

I'd like to clarify the audio issues a bit. There's two different things in the current ROM.

1) Audio echo in calls. The other person hears their own voice during call. This issue is present in ALL LineageOS 17-19 based ROMs, I think? This might be very difficult to fix! But obviously it would be amazing if you can do it. :)

2) "Robot voice" in calls. This error is in the other direction. It's difficult to understand what the other person is saying, sound is garbled. This problem started in Jan-18 release, earlier versions didn't have it! So maybe you could check the differences if there is something related changed?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] headzy:
This version of twrp fixed it, thanks buddy.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] xx_env:
THX for the new build @Ivan_Meler.

One thing I noticed is the vibration for notifications is very weak and somehow feels wrong, the vibration for haptic feedback feels good to me. (On LOS 18.1 Vibration works fine)

Another thing is when I spam the left Button (to show recent apps) it gets broken for me and nothing happens on button press, so i cant show recent apps until restart.

(On LOS 18.1 this problem doesnt exist, it just stays in recent apps when spamming the button and doesnt try to reopen again i think)

And a question i have: Why is there no statusbar tile for toggling livedisplay / nightmode, have they excluded it from LOS 19?

Besides that very nice ROM and Thanks for your effort keeping this device alive.

BTW for anyone whos having problem with low mic recording sound:

In "/vendor/etc" I have editet the following lines in "mixer_paths_0.xml":

<path name="gain-media-mic">

<path name="gain-camcorder-mic">

<path name="gain-communication-handset-mic">

<path name="gain-communication-speaker-mic">

I have set the values for "IN1R Digital Volume" and "IN3L Digital Volume"

to 'value="159"' and it fixed the problem of low mic recording for me.

I have editet the file on PC and then copied it the directory on the phone with Magisk + RootExplorer.

Hope it helps someone.

A dirty flash does it ! Smooth install, important upgrade.(y)

1) Download. 2) ROM + BITGapps + Magisk 24.1 placed all three in internal storage.

3) Advanced wipe in latest TWRP: Dalvik and Cache. 4) Install: Zip queue of the three R+B+M and flash. 5) Wipe Dalvik and Cache. 6) Reboot system.

One of my banking applications complains with this ROM that my system is rooted. I didn't root it (installed only ROM and the FlameGapps). What may be the reason?

I know there are workarounds (Magisk/Xposed modules) but I'd prefer to avoid those. Is there any "non-root" way I can fix this?

Just to mention: this application doesn't complain with other custom ROMs, for example on FlodyQ ROM it works without problems, but I'd like to try this one. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Zuikkis:
Magisk is the only solution. You probably don't need any extra modules, just Magisk.

Hi Ivan !

Congratulations for finding a way to fix this problem!

I'm still on 18.1 with August 2021 version, I might update to the last 18.1 build, or maybe the 19.0 one.

I have just one question for all 19.0 users?

Is the camera laggy? Sometimes it requires 5-8 secondes to open the camera in all apps where the cam is needed, switching from back to front (and vice versa) is a bit slow too on my device.

Have a nice day,

Hi and thanks for your answer. Unfortunately the minimicroG has issues (no phonesky, no service framework activated). I did flash the last nanodroid and it works !

A question, not an important problem, on 18.1 there was a possibility to change the icon appearance (specially the status bar icons like the wifi icon) I don't see it an v19, do you know if by any chance it is hidden somewhere else ?

Call it snooty or whatever. In first instance i just wanted to help and saw somewhat later

that you were both speaking about the appearance of the icons in the Rom.

In the ROM you can decide for yourself which icon should be shown etc... but no...

some people want to be able to change these icons in other icons of which they think

that they are more beautiful. (sigh)

Is it strange that I read this wrong and makes me what you call ... snooty ?

How I think ?

We are given a beautiful very modern ROM.

And then a lot of people only need to tell what they are missing and what must be better.

If you post, think twice.

Some people are very easily offended and have little sense of humor.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] mwoch:
I had the same problems but could solve them mostly via Settings --> Accessibility --> Vibration & haptic strength by setting the intensity to "low". Sounds weird but worked - at least for notifications. The vibration for my alarm and timer is still very weak.

While trying to solve the problem I made an interesting observation. I installed the app "Haptic Test & Maker" to check for a hardware problem. In the app you can test the vibration at different timings and intensities. The intensity can be set from 1 to 255. For values between 1 and 251 there was a strong vibration that felt always the same. For values between 252 and 255 it was barely noticeable. So obviously my device can't handle very strong vibrations, all other vibrations are always executed with the same intensity.

@Ivan_Meler: Do you have any idea what could be the problem here?

Hi,

I've installed the rom on my S7 and it works really nice and smooth. I've installed the rom + BiTGApps with twrp-3.6.0_9 using this guide and it worked without any issues. Really nice work!

I've tested most of the apps I normally use and almost all of them work flawlessly. I've been using the phone for two days now and didn't have any glitches. However I've noticed a few issues:

I was unable to start Samsung health app. It was just looping back to the start screen. It's not really an issue but it would be nice if it could be used.

I'm not sure that the pulse-oxy sensor is working, as some apps designed to work with samsung sensor does not recognize it. Also this is not really an issue.

My net banking app m-zaba is not working. "Keystore key generation failed" error keeps popping up after I installed and activated the app. Any chance to get help on this error?

My Kernel is 3.18 too. But for Zygisk in Magisk is at least Kernel 3.19 in S7 needed. Everything else is working with Meler's ROM. I don't know how it is nowadays with Android but few years later it was possible to flash and use different customkernel and custom-ROM.
