Did you read my posts?Instructions revised:

in developer settings make sure usb debugging is enabled and your pc/device is automatically authorized to use adb connection (always allow from this device) and also oem unlock is turned on and then

boot into download mode

1.flash recovery via heimdall, enter command

heimdall flash --RECOVERY twrprecovery.img --no-reboot

and then boot into recovery aka twrp

2. in twrp tap wipe, advanced wipe. select dalvik/art cache,system,data,internal storage,cache, swipe to wipe. make sure no sim or sd card is inserted.

3.in twrp tap advanced, adb sideload, then in computer type adb devices, make sure it shows sideload mode and device id, then type command ,,adb sideload lineage os rom.zip", maybe you can now flash the rom via install from sdcard but i just use adb sideload as los wiki instructed

if adb sideload completes succesfully you just reboot into android system and it should start up, might take a few minutes tho.

NB: this los 19 rom doesnt have encryption, only 18 can still get encryption. no encryption means internal storage is accessible via twrp for example aka your internal storage is not encrypted and easily accessible. afaik you cant enable enc. on los 19. can i?

if you dont have a pc you can use bugjaeger (disconnect from internet to be ads free... or sail the ship), for heimdall on android use https://github.com/RohitVerma882/Heimdoo. computer is better and easier and more certain way ofc. if you dont have linux installed use a linux live usb .iso, flash it onto an usb with balenaetcher, rufus or use ventoy. maybe kasmweb.com might work aswell. i recommend debian 12 stable, command is sudo apt install heimdall. I havent tested heimdall on a liveusb though. You just drag and drop files you want to flash into the terminal. Dont ask me how to flash recovery with odin, i skip that. also sudo apt install fish, then just type fish, might come handy cus it has command autocomplete feature.

Hi,

just a question....

I do not get the updates via settings - system - updater on my phone.....

The last I received was that one which was published on feb15

Any hint ?

Regards Thomas
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] aki42:
I did not get the March update OTA, too, had to download and install it manually. The April update was available OTA again. No idea, where this got stuck, Ivan hadn't mentioned anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ex novo:
The same thing is happening to me (Galaxy S7 Edge).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Hildi60:
Is there a chance to get the update OTA ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] myanonymousaccountname:
@Ivan_Meler Will OTA updates still work fine if i root with Magisk? Also, looking for a mod that enables both speakers so its like stereo speakers.

There is still no Update offered OTA. Is there a reason for ?

Is there any way of increasing the Bluetooth TX power?

After having installed this ROM, Magisk 27 & nikgapps full, everything seems fine except I don't have the same BT range I had with the old Oreo stock ROM.

Still getting used to Trebuchet and the fact that notification sounds don't get routed to the external speaker when a BT headset is connected - trying to get around that with MacroDroid...

Thank you @Ivan_Meler for your work on a fantastic ROM - glad to finally have my favourite handset running with the latest security updates
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] PeraPHon:
Running LOS 19.1, things I've noticed so far:

Bluetooth in phone calls is just static - appears to be common on the S7?

USB - can't see phone storage when connected to my computer. Now, I have an SD card formatted as internal storage - is that the reason?

Echo in phone calls - also appears to be common?

Contacts kept disappearing - I removed the update of the Google Contacts app and that seems (so far) to have fixed it

So that makes me wonder - is it the order that I did things in that has messed me up? I did a full factory wipe on the stock rom before flashing TWRP 3.7.0_9-1 with ODIN and then sideloading the zips for LOS, magisk and nikgapps.

Is there a better way that I could have done things?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sam_ID:
1. Yes, can't do phone call using Bluetooth...

2. I don't know, my SD card formatted as external and my PC can see both internal & external storage...

3. I don't know, on my phone (G935FD) there's no echo in phone call...

4. Never happened on me, though I use stock LOS Contacts App and all my contacts stored locally...

Nope, I think that's the correct way, though I did factory wipe after successfully flashing TWRP...

My full steps are:

Stock -> flash TWRP with ODIN -> boot to TWRP -> factory wipe -> flash LOS & Gapps/MicroG -> reboot system & setting the phone -> boot to TWRP again -> flash Magisk

Bluetooth not working in calls (mobile & whatsapp) both ways

Hello everyone,

I installed: this rom, with nikgapps 12L BASIC, magisk 27 and run into the above mentioned issue.

bluetooth headset connects without any issue to the S7

tested: Bose Quietcomfort 35, Sony Linkbuds S

calls without BT headset working fine

sound on called/called phone is crackling

found a similar post in the S7 Edge forum but without a solution

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks a lot in advance.

bye morT
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] PeraPHon:
I think your experience is pretty much the norm where BT is concerned. I don't know that there is a

fix

other than reverting back to stock Oreo ROM.

I would be curious to know if using a kernel such as Cronos would fix the BT issue, but would that kernel cause problems with LOS? Who knows?

Cronos 8.1 was released 1 Jan so there are probably 6 months of security updates missing, but it might make a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] morTimar:
Wow, that is really unfortunate if it is true.

I mean I have not seen anything about that issue on the Lineage Roms.

Would that not be a point for the "Not working" section of the starting page @Ivan_Meler or is there a fix we have not seen?

The thing is, I wouldn't have installed the Rom if I knew before.

Thank you very much!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sam_ID:
BT call issue only affected Android 12 ROM and above, so if you use LOS 18, BT call works just fine, and if you use LOS 19 or 20 or 21, BT call doesn't work...

And, AFAIK, custom kernel can't be flashed on Android 12 ROM and above too...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] PeraPHon:
Interesting - the only reason I went for 19.1 over 18.1 was that it was newer and still supported formatting the SD card as internal storage.

Might be worth the downgrade - if the security patches are up to date, it's still better than the Sept 2020 patch level on the old stock ROM...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sam_ID:
Yeah, for now, I think 18.1 still the most stable one, 19.1 a bit heavier than 18.1 with some visual glitch, and 20/21 more smooth & better auto brightness but missing more features...

Could you please tell, wich features in LOS 20/21 are missing in comparision with LOS 18.1?

I am asking, because I think about to go back from LOS 21 to an elder version, because as it seems, there will be no more updates in LOS 21.

To not disturb this thread, you might answer me in private conversation.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ScanX:
New build LOS 21 will arrive in a few hour's.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
💡

Well... after got some more informations, it seems, that Ivan is struggling with really serious technical problems, but only on the Samsung Galaxy S7, and only with LOS21.

Looks like, that with the S7 maybe a step back to LOS20 is a good idea - or buy an S8(+) or S9Note(+), because those have no problems, and Ivan has done the updates for them for the LOS21, they are all on Github.

I have to think over now, what to do... stepping back to LOS20 or elder would be the cheapest solution for me (yes... my goose, wich was laying the golden eggs, has canceled her job here, thats a real a pity... ;))

Good luck to Ivan - and a very, very great, big, huge THANKS to him for all his efforts (y)😘

I am just a littlebit sad, that he is communicating rarely and only on Telegram (what does not run here) and also on Telegram he just rarely says something...

Hi guys,

I've seen some error with an June OTA update. It can downloaded properly, but at the end it check with error "Verification failed" and of course not possible to install. What is the wrong , and is it possible to resolve this issue? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] xdastedt:
I've had the same problem with 18.1 OTA. No response yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] LabDevil:
In principle I am fine with doing an OTA manually, if I know exactly how the 'dirty flash' will work. It is clear using recovery TWRP, flash the os file and wipe Dalvik/Cache, by leaving the data & system partion untouched. The remainig questions are:

- Due to the file size of Ivan's update, I assume it is the full package and not only an OTA update. Therefore I can flash directly the latest build of the whole os, right?

- What is with the installed GApps, do they survive a dirty flash in this case or do I need to reflash them too (with the newest build of course)?

- Same for Magisk, does it survive a dirty flash too?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sam_ID:
If' I'm not mistaken, the latest update needs to be clean flashed manually through recovery, as the new build was signed & the old wasn't...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
Well...

Myself I use the latest LOS21, the QPR2 from June 20.

I did a complete clean install. Means, in TWRP (newest version for the Samsung Galaxy S7) I wiped everything on my S7 except of the SDcard, and then installed the LOS21 QPR2 completely clean. Also with all apps I use, I had installed them completely new and so clean.

Important:

during the setup of LOS you will be asked to update the revovery (TWRP) together with LOS. Dont hook that. Because then the LOS installs its own recovery, and this is a mess. I dont know why Ivan Meler (or the LOS maintainers at all) let this function in LOS. Use only TWRP as recovery, it works fine.

LOS21 QPR2 works very very fast, and the battery usage is low, the S7 get only a little warm when wathing videos f.e. in Instagram or Youtube (I use Newpipe from FDroid store for Youtube to avoid the damn ads in the videos).

I guess, that actually complete clean install would be also the best way with elder LOS versions for the S7 too until OTA update is working again. Ivan Meler had to setup the LOS completely new, had to signature it (maybe to avoid that others take his work and offer it as their own job).

About *Gapps I cannot tell, because I do not use the Google mess.

But Magisk works dirty flashed also after having installed the LOS complete clean.

Hope this helps you a little.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] LabDevil:
Thank you for the info. It helps a lot.

Will use my spare S7 to make a clean install and migrate apps and data afterwards.

I suffer with an Audio Crackling/Pop noise when I'm listening to songs and opening/installing apps or performing the majority of the tasks

It is the only issue I have with LOS19.1

I ask

Is there a way to change settings like I/O Scheduler, CPU Frequencies and the matter through scripts while remaining rootless/magiskless?

I remember there was something to do with -sh scripts

Does these still work nowadays?

Hello, has anyone used the adoptable storage option? For me it works incorrectly in twrp I can't see files in folders and it causes strange crashes that files disappear. I think that the system does not transport the data properly? It's good that I have a copy of the files on my computer but I tried to clean it by twrp and format the card in the system I uploaded my files again without success :(. I returned the whole phone to the factory state via Odin (BL, CSC and CP). For now, I will give up the adoptable storage function and prefer to save my time. The rom itself works great, so far I have no objections.

Does anyone have this feature working properly over twrp?

Did you load Los 19...then your gapps package then the Android auto add on so it was integrated with the OS before you booted up. I have not seen that message but it seems to read as though the AA is an APK from the store? AA needs to be embedded with the OS and then given the nearby devices permission.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
Hey folks,

Last night I was editing a file located under "data/system/users/0/settings_ssaid.xml" and upon rebooting my phone, it's been stuck in a boot loop. I have an original copy saved in a different folder, but unable to access anything to replace it.

Is there any specific fastboot command I can run to swap the files (adb push, pull etc)? Only boot slot A is giving me an issue, and I was reading flashing system.img would be able to help, but I don't wanna do anything I'm unsure will wipe any of my data where I'd have to start over unless I've recovered some of that data first.

If I do have to flash any stock images, pls post the instructions for clarity.

Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Assuming adb can actually access your device, while it's stuck in a boot loop (test this by running 'adb devices' and see if you receive a response)

You can run the following command to list all the files in your specific folder.

adb shell ls FILEPATH

Every file in your specific folder will be listed. You can then do the following to pull/push your file

adb pull FILEPATH

adb push FILENAME FILEPATH

Of course you need to place the file that you want to push in your ADB folder.

Mind though, that simply replacing your edited file with the backup might not solve your bootloop.

You can always look up available commands here

adb shell ls - ADB Shell

Android ADB Shell Commonds Manual

adbshell.com
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
Yes, I can access adb and my device while it's booting up, but once it reboots I lose connection. Unless I can interrupt the process I'd have to be very quick in my typing to copy files lol.

Even with the few seconds I have to type some commands to access the directory of the file I edited, I do get a permission denied error.

Would swapping to Slot B during boot allow me into the system, or even flashing the system.img file?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] foobar66:
No because your file is on /data.

The issue is that you can't push your file to /scard since (I guess) you can't even get beyond to the point where /sdcard is mounted.

So copying it from /sdcard will likely be too late in the boot process.

Pushing directly into /data does not work either as you would have to be root. In the old days you could run and in root mode but I'm not sure that is still possible.

Factory reset will work.

On devices with separate recovery partition it would be possible to change recovery to allow adb access to /data so then push old file via recovery... But I would not know how to do that on Pixel as recovery is s part of the boot partition.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
So effectively, it's likely you're only solution is to do a full firmware flash along with wipe.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TonikJDK:
I would first try a full flash removing the -w to avoid the wipe. It may work.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Probably a typo, but I think you meant you need to "remove" the -w to avoid a wipe.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TonikJDK:
Thank you! My post is fixed.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
Ok, I'm rooted so to be sure I don't mess anything up, lol can you list the steps just as a precaution?

Obviously I'd be in fastboot / recovery mode, then perform a flash-all but remove the -w so as to not erase my data?

Once the system boots, all of my texts and setup should remain as is, or do I have to go and recover it?

Would I be able to install the OS again on the inactive slot to recover data, or does that not work that way?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] foobar66:
Nope ... there is only 1 data partition, so even when you flash the OS to the inactive slot, it would still use the same data partition. Moreover, it is then likely to upgrade/convert some files on /data which might result in not being able to go to the previous version in the old slot.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] foobar66:
See https://xdaforums.com/t/method-to-u...thout-wiping-data-and-retaining-root.4356065/
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
so, unfortunately doing a full flash without wiping data didn't work. I'm almost inclined to believe that if TWRP was available for the P6/P, that I could go and push the file I had saved back into the directory of where it was and save myself from this mess.

I'm kicking myself because I'm usually backing up my data before I modify any system files, but this one time I hadn't done so and I had Google's backup turned off at the time, so I'm gonna have to lose some text messages over the last few days with some folks I enjoy speaking to. I do have some saved from late last week, but nothing from the weekend up until now. 😕
