Hi @chairmanmiaow

Android 12 Roms borrow the system colors from the Homescreen or Wallpaper.

So it is very important to find a Wallpaper that will determine your colors on the phone.

Especially the colors of the large icons (buttons) in the dropdown menu often play an important role for the LineageOS user.

For example, I had a nice picture as wallpaper, but it caused ugly colors in my android 12 Rom. Some kind of pale mustard yellow.

In short, get a nice deep colored photo that you can get from the internet and use it as Wallpaper.

For example, Google "picture blue" with the quotes

and then make the screenshot of your choice.

You can make a wallpaper out of this and your system colors could immediately be as desired.

LineageOS itself also already provides the necessary choice of wallpapers.

For further design inside the Rom, I've learned that Nova Launcher (Google Play) is a great choice as a complement to Trebuchet. (Do not uninstall Trebuchet (I learned ))

Have a very nice weekend.

🌷🌷🌷
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] chairmanmiaow:
Thank you for your suggestions comrade Xabu.

I'm aware of how the Android 12L monet theming engine derives it's palette from the wallpaper but I would like to override those colours with arbitrary values.

Missing bright pink highlight colours for the moment fortunately won't kill me and I'm quite content to wait for the forthcoming theming options Ivan hinted at or a Magisk/lsposed module that will do it.

Hello.

Thank you so much for detailed answer. I tried just now updating from TWRP and USB flash (I have already forgotten the microSD port is exist as always used two SIM cards). It was successful. I didn't wipe dalvik cache as not sure, is it necessary for such minor build update? But it is a risky enough to install update without making backup first... because of encryption.

Now I consider trying other ROMs without echo and voice distortion. For me it's more important than other fixes Ivan are making. Have to notice this ROM is very stable and having latest Android (new features and security fixes) for old S7 is worth much, but everyone is choosing by own priority.

PS: My English is also far to native )

Having best weekend for all members!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] master373:
Hey,

Glad to hear that the update was successfull. I hope you will find an ROM which is for your desires. Have fun :)

Anybody was able to get Google Assistant running on the latest build?

I didn't flash build from feb, but on sdk 31 I had no issues with Assistant.

Now I did a clean and fresh install, even with going all the way back to stock before flashing this build. Found no working gapps (although some mentioned flamegapps full was working for them doing the dirty flash) therefore I used Ivan's edited version and installed most of the required apps through Playstore later.

Now I realize the "Hey Google" Assistant voice command isn't available on my device, but it was running with previous build from january. Tried switching language and region as mentioned in other threads, but that didn't help.

Any ideas?

Beside that I can't say much, but thanks to Ivan for keeping this device up to date. Always a pleasure!

EDIT: It seems the menu bar (icons above hardware keys) is higher than usually. (Didn't install any launcher app.)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Speedy_Gonzalez:
Just now to confirm, I installed the Google Assistant from play store even though I don't need it.

1. Installed and opened G_ass.App

Asked to install "Google" App from play store

2. Installed Google app from play store

Now again opened G_ass App and this time asked it to make it default assistant in device settings; I did it.

Now opens and runs smoothly. I'm on latest build 20220329, also when I clean installed it, I installed Ivans edited Gapps too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
Are you able to start Assistant just by saying "Hey Google/Ok Google" while screen is unlocked?

Taking a look into this it seems I need to install Speech engine. Although access is granted to the mic I'm not able to use it for input in other apps as well.

Will post an update as soon as I come to a conclusion. Thanks for your fast reply! Really appreciate it. :)

UPDATE: Installed "Speech Services by Google", but that didn't change anything. Instead the speech/voice output options menu in "language and input" is crashing now when trying to open it. Not in the mood to proceed now, maybe clearing cache will help, but I'll give this a try tomorow.

UPDATE II: GNAA! My head and me aren't always best friends. Uninstalled "Speech Services" and installed "Voice Access", now it seems to be working.

UPDATE III: It wasn't. Still isn't. Tried everything from uninstalling Google app, assistant app, changing language and region, uninstalling keyboard and re-installing everything...nothing worked. Assistant is working, but the voice command isn't avasilable. It was on older builds on this device though I'm not giving up yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] headzy:
You are extraordinary Ivan, wonder what you could accomplish if you had the Elder wand :)

Been using your android 11 build but this looks too tempting, might wait for next build before flash if it comes with April sec patch.

Keep up the great work buddy.

Hey, I updated from LineageOS 16 to LineageOS 19.1 and it works really well. Really fast, battery life seems good, nice work. Thank you Ivan. Did anybody test the sensor on the back of the phone for heart rate?

Edit: Phone calls sound robotic
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Kirakira:
Hi !

I updated from Stock 8.0 to this one, it's like having a new phone, thanks a lot for your work.

However, I have a few questions/problems :

Sound from the speaker is not good, like "robotic" or metallic. By speaker I mean the little one for the ear).

How to install a good stock Camera App ? Or should I just download any apk ?

I miss the little widget to clear the RAM, how to get it back ?

I really don't like those big bulk buttons from the notification bar + light settings, but I guess it comes from Android 12 ?

Anyway, better battery life, lots of space without all the bloatwares (that's what triggered this new install) and everything is more responsive.

Thanks again !

Hi community.

Has anyone been able to test a galaxy gear/watch or other device that requires the Samsung Health app?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
Hello and welcome,

seems like you made a major step skipping 3 Android releases. :) Oreo, good old times. *sigh*

The dev will love to read about your decision.

The issue with robotic voice sound has been mentioned again and again, although it seems not everybody is affected. Google released a new SDK recently and with Android 12 L major changes can be expected that hopefully will allow for further improvements.

As far as I can remember the camera has been an ongoing question since Cyanogenmod. According to your preferences there are tons of alternatives available. Two alltime favourites are Open Camera or Google Camera (both available on Playstore).

I stopped using system tweak apps a long time ago, therefore I'm not the right one to say anything regarding the RAM clearing option. App management and permissions is still an ongoing topic, so maybe someone else can offer a solution to your question. Only thing I can add is that in developer options there might be some settings which go in that direction (you'll have to enable dev options by tapping 7 times on build number of your device under "About phone" section).

Have fun and enjoy your "new" phone. :)

I have the same problem as gallusala.

With my wife's mobile (Samsung S21, Android 12) all works fine.

Is NFC a bit faulty?

Hi,

I have installed LineageOS 19.1 on my Galaxy S7 SM-G930F.

Everythings work fine but I have a problem during calls.

Me and my participant have a metallic or robot voice.

Someone have the same problem and fix it ??

Thx

Has anyone else noticed with Google camera you cannot switch to the selfie camera? When I press the switch to front camera button the app just crashes.

Big thanks Ivan! Loving my new phone!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Kirakira:
Unfortunately, the robot voice is a real problem. I can't have a phone with that kind of bug.

I found out also that there is no more vibration parameters : only low/medium/high, with highest setting being still very weak. And no vibration "style" to choose.

In TWRP I have very strong vibrations, so it's not hardware related.

I appreciate some new stuff from Android 12, but those problems are really too much. I'll probably roll back to the Android 8.0 stock ROM, but with root and I will clean myself the bloatware.

It won't be optimized like LineageOS, but no choice.

Damn.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Chaos_002:
Hey - first of all thanks for the ongoing support!

Sadly I've encountered a serious problem, which makes me unable to upgrade to 19.1 atm:

Once I try to install any kind of gapps - both Trebuchet and the Pixel launcher crash on load. and keep doing so.

For the past 10 hours now I've tried probably every possible combination of NikGapps (NikGapps-full-arm64-12-20220222-signed) configs.

None of them were compatible with lineage-19.1-20220329-UNOFFICIAL-herolte.

Later on I have tried to use my old NikGapps zip that has worked with lineage-18.1-20210407-UNOFFICIAL-herolte, sadly no success either (wont finish setup due to android version mismatch)

The Playstore also seems to load endlessly on a gray screen so no installing apps either.

I have also encountered Settings app crashes during setup when you're being asked to add Fingerprints.

The reason why I cant use the "bundled" FlameGapps is that they dont bundle Android Auto, which needs to be installed on system to function.

If Anybody know how I can be of assistance or create a fix for myself - please don't hesitate to reach out to me here!

EDIT: Because of the mentioned issues I sadly cannot provide any of

a) Logcat

b) proc/last_kmsg (or proc/kmsg)

c) data/tombstones

d) dmesg

:/

If somebody knows a workaround, maybe in twrp please tell me/link it here!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
I used flamegapps provided by Ivan and in my case app installation through Playstore is possible. Not my favourite choice, but as you mentioned yourself other gapps aren't working yet with the Android SDK used to build this ROM.

How are you installing gapps when it results in the launcher app crashing on start?

Are you getting any kind of error messages while gapps installation process?

What's the difference between an app being installed by gapps or through Playstore? Usually you can install most of the services through Playstore (if working). All of the gapps components are available there, like gboard, camera, webview, calculator...

My guess: You either have no gapps installed at all or the gapps you used are responsible for your problems.

I assume you already added your Google account to be able to download apps? I would consider deleting the account within Android, do a factory reset and start fresh in TWRP recovery.

Btw. I just checked...Android Auto is part of Ivan's flamegapps package. ;) (Check folder tar-gapps) In my case I can only say that it seems to be working, although I have not checked with a vehicle yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] zentasuken:
used if there is no sound reverberation. All roms after Android 10 have sound echo. how to fix this problem. thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Speedy_Gonzalez:
Two questioned to be asked!

Q1. Are you trying to install Clean 19.1 (along with Gapps/Old NiKApps in a single install) on 18.1 with already installed Gapss

Q2. You have first Installed 19.1 using TWRP, then right after system image installed, you are trying to install Gapps.

Case 2. If you already had (18.1+Gapps) on your machine and then trying to install 19.1 along with Gapps then before install Wipe Cache, Data, System, Dalvik cache and make sure you do this install before boot out of TWRP

Case 1. If you just installed 19.1 using Twrp and now trying to install Gapps then I recommend better try to install Boot image+Gapps in a single run.

This accomplishes the Google Core libraries to bind in system image. If you already had Gapps Installed on system then it won't replace them because it is in system image. That's why we need to do the "Wipe" process.

If you boot out of the TWRP for the first time and then do Gapps install, then it wont bind it in the system image too.

So better do single install (System_Image +Gapps) meaning select Boot image file and also Gapps file before clicking on install button, Provided Gapps are not installed on current machine.

If you already have Gapps installed on current machine then before proceeding to "install" process do a "Wipe" process. Provided you don't boot out of TWRP.

Hope helps!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] master373:
I can confirm pixel launcher force closes with nikgapps(full package).

Workaround:

After setup complete, if you see a blank screen (launcher cant load) pulldown notification panel go to settings -> apps and find playstore. Open it through app info and install any launcher you like eg nova launcher.

I dont know but maybe they didnt update the pixel launcher and thats because its Crashing. Didnt had time to catch a log.

All clean install= Wiped everything and than installed rom and after that without reboot gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bixaon:
>> The issue with robotic voice sound has been mentioned again and again, although it seems not everybody is affected.

It mentioned and will again and again because it seems affect 90% of S7 users instead of "not everybody".

Also it seems to be better if Ivan mention about this bug on the first page of discussion.

Such low quality sound can't be considered as "working" without such crucial detail.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Kirakira:
Agreed.

To be honest I installed this ROM because it was indicated that everything was working fine with no bug.

But I was a bit pissed to had been through all of the hassle of a new install, only to find I can't use the first basic feature of any phone : making a call.

+ the vibration mode that is completely useless.

I have rolled-back this night. A bit disapointed to have lost the new features from Android 12, but at least the basic function are working correctly.

Now, as I've read, I think I will suffer to try to root correctly my phone :/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] TheLuggageFollows:
Not sure about other NFC apps but I am using the AusweisApp2 successfully with my ID card. Sometimes it takes a bit and the device really needs to be directly on top of the card with not much interference from the surroundings. Otherwise no issues.

Have you made sure that the app is listed in Magisk (hidden)?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] TheLuggageFollows:
I wouldn't be sure it is an issue on the majority of devices. But for those users who have the issue, it is a huge problem.

Wherever possible I am moving to calls via messengers (eg whatsapp) where I do not have any robo audio issues. But it would be WAY better to have decent phone call quality.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bixaon:
We don't have statistic for affected devices but too many of us wrote about it.

1. If I am callee by cellular network, I am not choosing how to answer. Here we have "robotic" voice for both side.

2. If I am caller and use an app, my callee have to listen terrible echo of own voice and then some of them reasonly propose to get rid of such crazy ROM. Echo affects any messenger app.

No way to get comfortable talking with this ROM for some specific S7 unfortunately (

This is interesting to know, I wasn't aware of that. But to clarify: Does it make a difference to install ROM, reboot from recovery to TWRP and then install gapps (without booting to Android system in between)?

I ask because according to Magisk a generic system image should be installed with a reboot to recovery after rom flash process.

Yes you read that correct about Magisk but it seems to fail to install and load core library file after reboot. I did the same procedure and failed.

#17 is from a time period in which Magisk made major changes. Not sure which version #17 is referring to.

EDIT: My bad, #17 is stating Magisk v23. But in same post is saying wiped everything, but is wondering about app permissions being reset to default?

#30 was an issue I was also facing with earlier builds of this ROM. According to Ivan it is Gapps related.

#95 is bringing up the same question. And despite the two given options the replies are neither specific when talking about "reboot", nor do they chose any of the given options, instead they are introducing another method.

#208 I can't say anything according to NikGapps, but when using BitGapps (non systemless) it is recommended to flash BitGapps again after you up*dated* (not upgraded) ROM:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
Oo What? LOL

When flashing this build I was only checking with flamegapps and bitgapps and somehow expected NikGapps to be at the same level of development.

This seems to be pointing to an issue with this build then, but in defence for Ivan I'm pretty sure he's already aware of it and working on a solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
Old Gapps aren't compatible. Restoring from a backup is never recommended. Instead re-install apps through Playstore and retrieve your data through sync or a backup you created with the specific app you want the backup for.

Re-installing already used apps through Playstore is fairly easy: Open playstore, click on your username and then go to manage apps. Here just select "not installed" and tick those you want to have installed again. After installation make sure sync is enabled for required app.
