Is anybody else experiencing some issues with mobile internet? No constant interruptions but again and again.

Browser loads perfectly now, mail app loads endlessly a few seconds later, no app loads now, all apps load perfectly seconds or minutes later....

It's simply somewhat unreliable. I contacted my mobile telephony provider, they told me there was a disturbance yesterday but it's already solved. My son does not have the issue with a StockROM device.

Hello Ivan

Ever since latest update (Nov security), phone does not fast charge at all.

I have tried with different chargers on different outlets

It now takes at least two hours to charge from 15% to full.

(I have checked, fast charging is enabled in settings)

Phone is standard Europe model. Thank you 🙌 🙌
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
It depends on, wich provider you have.

It use my Samsung S7 with LineageOS 19.1 from @Ivan_Meler and with NikGApps. Works properly, also with mobile internet.

I am in Germany. Here we have three providers, who have own mobile networks: Telekom, Vodafone, O2 (Telefonica). Telefonica for example absolutely does not work in my area, this works somehow only in bigger cities, cheapest provider, but not solid. Vodafone is similar, but additionally it is known eveywhere in Germany for all kind of sudden, but regular interuptions with the mobile internet, but also with mobile telephony, absolutely no solid company, and really too expensive for that, whta they offer. Telekom is the most expensiest provider, but its working nearly everywhere properly with the mobile.

I use Telekom. If you are in Germany too, check, wich mobile provider you have, and maybe think about a change.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
Well, I use my Samsung Galaxy S7 since I bougth it in 2016. But never charged it fast. Telling the truth, I did not knewed, that this can be charged fast. And because its a very old mobile phone, I am not sure, if a fast charging would not damage the battery. So, maybe your fast charging problems have their reason now in a damage of the battery, because maybe you had charged the S7 with fast charging too much.

I have a routine for charging. In all my rooms I have charging units, and can charge everywhere in my apartment. So I never forget to charge, so I do not need the fast charging at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
check the cable, that is usually main cause for phone to not fast charge, also if you have any sort of kernel manager apps remove them they can interfere with fast charging hal
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] easylivin:
Thank you! In the meantime I found the reason for this issue. It was the DNS server in Settings > Private DNS. I switched to Automatic and tried another DNS server. Both methods work perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Philip.CMOS.Hoffman:
@netra3441 or anyone else for that matter:

I have this up and running on my S7 (thanks again, @Ivan_Meler !) however it seems there is no way to enable full-disk encryption as you lose the ability to access the storage within TWRP. Looking into it here on the forum (unless I am missing something), it seems some years ago TWRP lost the capability to prompt for the passphrase for decryption to work. I've also tried manually unlocking it via the built-in terminal to no avail. Am I missing something? Unfortunately, I need this functionality (not just because I am a security freak but also because I need to use Duo mobile for work and it required FDE).

Any help is greatly appreciated. The last posts I saw on the matter ended in 2016 due to the phone being considered "old".
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
well sadly twrp cant use hardware backed encryption, you can use lineage recovery however (its in rom zip) its quite basic and doesnt have backup and restore functions but its useful as recovery as it can handle updates and thats what matters the most
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Philip.CMOS.Hoffman:
Thanks, @Ivan_Meler . Can I assume this is installed in the usual manner with `heimdall flash --RECOVERY ...`? And does that still grant me access to anything I may need to install via the recovery (say, how I can install NikGapps via TWRP currently)?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
yep, just keep in mind you will have to install stuff from either sdcard or adb sideload, you can install it with heimdall or using dd, either will work
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Philip.CMOS.Hoffman:
@Ivan_Meler that worked a charm, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Snype32:
Hey all, found this page earlier today, and have been trying to update my stock S7. Cant seem to get twrp installed. I reset the phone to factory default, didn't set up any accounts on it, turned on usb debugging, and oem unlock. Tried putting twrp 3.7.0_9-0 herolte on it using odin 3.14.4. Odin can see the phone but fails. Phone goes into a screen that says to use smart switch emergency recovery. That doesnt work, but I can get the phone going again using frp hijacker. What am I missing? Seems like it should be fairly straight forward, but I cant get past this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Gragagrogog:
You need to make the phone boot into the recovery first after flashing twrp with odin without booting normally iirc.

So.... disable "auto reboot" in odin and after flashing it, hold power+home+vol DOWN, then immediately after the screen flashes, swap to holding power+home+vol UP.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Snype32:
Thanks for the reply. The issue I'm having is that I can't get TWRP onto the phone in the first place.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] rho-bot:
I suggest to first wipe phone completely by flashing stock factory image via Odin.

If that doesn't work, phone has FRP issue.

If it works, you may follow

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Snype32:
Thanks for the reply... That guide looks good. As for the wipe, a factory wipe is not sufficient then?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Snype32:
so it turned out that the newest version of twrp didn't work. I used the previous version, and everything workied fine. Thanks everyone for the effort put in here. Nice to be able to update these older devices ank keep them working.

Hi all. I've tried a few times to install this along with gapps MindTheGapps-12.1.0-arm64-20220605_112439.zip. I've by uploading the 2 files to the phones sd card and using WRTP to do the install and also using adb to sideload through TWRP. In the both cases LineageOS installed fine but in the 1st case there was a error installing gapps and in the 2nd case everything *appeared* to install ok but when the phone boots there are no Google apps so I have no way to install apps. Is this normal or have I been doing something wrong?

I used Odin to flash TWRP but the very latest version fail so I had to use the next version down on the TWRP downlaod page. The LineageOS file I'm using is;

lineage-19.1-20221109-UNOFFICIAL-herolte.zip

and Gapps is;

MindTheGapps-12.1.0-arm64-20220605_112439.zip

Hopefully somebosy will be able to help me sort this out as Lineage 19 looks nice :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Classictinker:

For me it is not possible to flash the new Build.

Just want Update the last Build (16.12), tried with Wipe System, Dalvik, Cache.

Error Message @ TWRP Prozess Updater endete mit Fehler 1 Fehler beim Installieren... der Zip

E1001: Failed to Update system image.

After this Bootloop, then flashed the old Build (16.12) it run's without problem.

It's necessary to do a clean install?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Snype32:
I used bitgapps. Worked perfectly for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Classictinker:
Thanks for that Snype :) Did you manage to get TWRP 3.7 onto your phone from the link on here? I've tried but I'm not sure how to do it lol. I have 3.6.2_9-0 on my phone at the moment and extracted the 3.7 version from the zip and uploaded it to the phone then tried to use TWRP to install it but it doesn't see the image using the install option. Then I uploaded the whole zip and tried to install it but I get an "invalid zip file format" error. I'm probably doing it all wrong lol. What process did you use to get the correct TWRP onto you phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Snype32:
I used Odin 3, and not the latest TWRP, but the previous one. Latest one failed with odin
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Classictinker:
Yep that sorted it out thanks. I think I must have been using a funky version of gapps :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Classictinker:
I'm not sure if this is a bug or just my phone being old and decrepit like its' owner but in the status bar the battery always shows as being at 0% but in both the settings and settings/battery screens I can see the correct level of charge. When I first booted the phone for the 1st time after installation I changed the status bar settings to show the battery percentage in text next to the icon and it *did* display to correct percentage then. However the following day it was showing the battery as 0% in the status bar and has done ever since even while on charge. It's not a big issue and I can certainly live with it but I thought I should mention it here just in case the info is useful to somebody :)

Apart from that little issue I'm loving it, the phone seems more responsive and I *think* the battery life is a little better althoug my battery is fubar so it's hard to tell lol. My thanks to the creator for a job well done :)

New update is out, With december security update.

Here is a brief changelog:

- Merged December 2022. Security update

- Synced with LineageOS source

20.0, 18.1 and 17.1 builds will be updated later this week/next week

20.0 builds will get quite big update as pixel quarterly feature drop is getting merged with a lot of new exciting features in android 13 so it will take a bit more time than usual.

Huge thanks to everyone who supported this project, helped cover the build server cost and got me coffee.

This project wouldnt be possible without them.

Enjoy new builds and stay safe

Used twrp-3.6.2_9-0-herolte after unsuccessfully trying 3.7.0

Used BiTGApps-arm64-12.1.0-v1.8_signed after unsuccessfully trying MindTheGapps-12.1.0-arm64-20220605_112439 (crashed after unable to mount /system)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] GrgMdmn:
My system is unstable... Do you think it might be due to the gapps that I installed ? Mine is nikgapps NikGapps-core-arm64-12.1-20220908-signed.zip

Edit: I tried with BitGapps and that was better. However, still crashes. I have nextly gone back to the stock samsung rom, and I encountered crashes too. My conclusion is that my phone has hardware problem, so I will replace it and try later. Sorry for bothering 😅

Unfortunately I confirm I have phone echo issues with this Rom since I installed it (fews months ago), and with every following update.

The echo is not on my side, my caller can hear it's own echo on his side. Seems like my mic is recording sound from my speaker (at low level but still)

Is there mixer_path tweaks to try, or something else to flash ?

Or is it possible to check another Rom mixer path file ?

A summary of what I tried here (without success) :

https://xdaforums.com/t/lineageos-1...a-updates-for-s7-exynos.4368995/post-87184089
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Nilociety:
I'm having this same issue. It seems that apps that don't rely on some form of phone call service/voIP (like the Google Recorder app) work just fine with the microphone. I can't hear anything that seems out of the blue, only the fact that the microphone (at least from what it seems) records audio a lot quieter than it use too.

The quiet microphone sensitivity seems to also carry over to the VoIP / Regular Calling apps as well. The Interlocutor can hear their voice briefly for a small amount of time shortly after they speak.

I think the reason why this happens is because the S7 has 2 microphones on the top and bottom. I noticed that the top microphone (at least from my findings with settings pages, and different apps) cannot be configured for use. The default microphone the phone uses is the one at the bottom, located close to the speaker.

I tried looking around many places (including XDA) in different places from Magisk Modules to Lineage updates, but it appears that this is a known issue with very minimal knowledge as to what is causing it for some people.

I hope this gives insight to anyone actively investigating the issue, though I do admit it's pretty surface level observations.

Thanks to everyone for making this possible, especially Ivan Meler.

(I'm using the Canadian G930W8 variant of the S7 in case anyone was wondering)

Edit: I forgot to mention that I tried installing different Microphone mixer_path patches, alongside having AML (Audio Modification Library) installed, but it seemed to not resolve anything. I will likely continue my own digging with this as I'm not too accustomed to what it fully does yet.

It works fine with camera app installed from twrp. But front camera crashes with any other app from app store.

Does anybody know how to fix this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] chairmanmiaow:
Hmm just applied the latest lineage-19.1-20230105-UNOFFICIAL-herolte and my trusty S7 is now bootlooping - downgrading it back to lineage-19.1-20221206-UNOFFICIAL-herolte has surprisingly not fixed it either and the phone still bootloops.

I'm on the fixed version of twrp-3.7.0_9-0 and to upgrade I did the usual reboot to recovery, wipe caches, sideload lineageos + Magisk 25.2, reboot so exactly what I always do. Anyone else seeing this or have any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] chairmanmiaow:
Disregard that, I belatedly realised I forgot to reflash NikGapps with the ROM update... which I have a funny feeling I did last time as well. Whoops 😂. I had to rebuild the phone last time as well which I'm definitely going to have to do again now.

This does seem to bring up a weird issue though - if like me you use NikGapps and forget to reflash it during a normal ROM update you're out of luck. Reflashing properly with NikGapps again will resurrect the phone ok but the Google Play Services are then permanently kneecapped: the playstore app is forced into "you're offline" mode and Signal etc immediately die as their playstore integration is cut off. There doesn't seem to be anyway to recover from that without rebuilding which is... unfortunate.

Don't get me wrong, this is entirely my fault for forgetting to flash NikGapps but this seems a little odd. Anyone else run into this or am I literally the only person who's ever forget to reflash the Gapps package during an upgrade? I know I've accidentally forgotten to flash OpenGapps during a S7 lineageos upgrade before without this happening.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] master373:
Normally nikgapps should Backup your gapps and restore it after every Update. Dont know what did go wrong in your case

Thank you for providing this ROM!

In case someone wants to use it in combination with Family Link, I did get that working only with MindTheGapps almost out of the box, whereas several other GApps distributions got stuck.

The only problem with the MindTheGapps version I used was this one: https://xdaforums.com/t/missing-options-in-recovery.4256195/page-2, where there is also info on how to fix it (you need to make a small change to a file inside the MindTheGapps zip before loading it).

Am I correct in assuming that this OS does not support exFAT on SD cards? I just installed it on my S7 as a test and the inserted SD card with lots of files is recognized, but it isn't readable.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
Well, easiest would be to solve that, that you copy all that files from the SD card onto your PCs (or Notebooks) harddisk, then format the SD card inside the Samsung Galaxy S7 as removable, and when this works, then you copy back the files from your PC/Notebook back onto the SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] fipsy:
Okay, it's clear that it will work this way. So Lineage 19.1 no longer supports exFAT? Because Lineage 17.1 still supported it. As well as NTFS. Although there were also some problems and bugs with exFAT.

With which file system does lineage format the SD card? ext4? Then it would no longer be readable on the PC. It would be important to take a file system that is readable and writable with lineage as well as with the PC!
