This is probably off topic and a question that been asked before, but ...

I am trying to determine which gapps package to install. I have been told that bitgapps is the"best". However it does not appear to tailorable ... I don't use gmail, google contacts or calendar amongst many other apps. In fact I only use maps.

So which one...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] kiwidudeNZ:
Here is the link https://sourceforge.net/projects/nikgapps/files/Releases/NikGapps-S/27-Jan-2022/.

choose the "core" version at around 80 megs. the other option if you don't want to use google is to install the ROM, then boot it into the main screen, do your initial setup and then load up the default browser and search for "fdroid", load the apk file and install it and then wait for it to update its database of apps (it doesnt install them so you dont need to worry about storage space) and then look for Aurora Store. this is the same as google playstore and you can choose the apps you want to install. You may also be able to install Aurora Store directly but I've not tried this option yet. hopefully that helps and is not to far off topic.

Hi there. I am currently using the first released version of Lineage 19.0

Is there anyway that I can update to the latest release, without losing any data?

anyways beside flashing everything.

Start reading at page 1 #1 of this thread and you'll find your answers.

And what you can't find here, is answered in the thread of

the S7 (without Edge ... ) Android 12 for S7

This thread is double as long. Many more people seem to have the S7.

Or ... owners of The Edge are less demanding ?

is anybody else having trouble getting Heimdall to "detect" attached devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] xabu:
For me .... Heimdall was a disaster.

Then I bought for 5 Euro a very old laptop with windows 7 (Samsung Note 150 Windows Starter) and since then I run an up to date Odin with best results. Even Installing TWRP this way for its first time was very helpful.

I know Heimdall works ... but not good enough and thus very frustrating.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] xabu:
What was the most frustrating ..... the fact that my device was detected and then the processes were interupted because the detection resulted in disconnection.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] zzz2002:
Interestingly and interestingly,

My phone which I have just reinstalled everything EXCEPT magisk and its addons

behave as ROOTED, apps that need root don't ask they just run, YASNAC - passes basic + CTS profile.

suggestions as to how I get out of this mess, bearing mind that neither Odin nor Heimdall are detecting the device. which makes somewhat difficult to return to stock rom.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] xabu:
For as far as I know you can backup your whatsapp chats. Whatsapp functions very well on Android 12 together with S7 Edge.

Forget to tell you that you should have the latest adb program on your Desktop computer together with the latest USB drivers for your phone on this same Desktop. Otherwise your efforts and attempts will be in vain.

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

Hello Ivan! Thank you for the excellent support of this old but still relevant device! I follow this topic often and always update the firmware. Everything works fine. But I caught a couple of unpleasant errors. If you copy or move files weighing more than 2 GB to a flash drive, then the phone goes into reboot. And another bug is that the screen resolution is somehow strange: I am attaching a screenshot of the screen.

P.s. I don’t know English well, so I used Google translator.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] xabu:
This has nothing to do with your screen resolution but in your settings you can enable your volume bar (panel) or you don't. You are able to place it to the left etc. .... just have a look in Settings > Buttons > Show panel on the left (can be toggled.)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] kiwidudeNZ:

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.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] xabu:
Dirty flash means that you flash an app over an existing already installed app.

If you don't do this then you might get in trouble while upgrading this ROM

which you can install over the already installed Rom

if this is the same Rom but with all new features. (with new date ofcourse: Feb 8th)

As told earlier, flash Magisk 24.1 over already installed Magisk 24.1 for the best results.

Be careful ..... Installing Magisk 24.1 is a new challenge and brought lots of people in trouble. So STUDY before you start with it.

Maybe the "Search apps" in the app drawer is somewhat confusing and seems and looks the same as the "Search" in your Settings app, but these two complement each other.

I have used pixel pixel experience 12 rom, this search my phone feature in the app drawer, searches for apps, contacts , what it lists on that picture , I left it cos of performance issues, so I believed this leanage os rom should also work the same , it has nothing to do with settings in the phone, I granted the pixel launcher all required permissions, still no luck,

Try it also you'll see, only apps with be searched, not shortcuts, tips, people, settings,etc,

This is more like a bug , or a removed feature by the developer, I noticed this Android 12 is still in beta sort of
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] xabu:
How am I supposed to argue with someone if they don't read my answer?

Why should this Rom suddenly have all kinds of features that an earlier Rom, installed by you, you could show? (less efficient as you told)

Have you already given the "Search" in the "Settings app" (first at the top) a chance?

Have you noticed that "Contacts app" also has its own search function ?

Here we are talking about a new modern Rom with its own novelties, that is still unfinished,

but that gives us the chance to discover and especially use Android 12.

Unfortuantelly my last SD card broke and it was stored on it...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] xabu:
Sorry if I don't understand your question. But you want to try the latest Rom and you say you need the January 7 build for this.

Then why not just install the February 10 build?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] ilker4fun:
I am using latest February 10 build and I am experiencing external sd card problems. Phone randomly restarts and after reboot, my external sd card is corrupted and should be formatted to be able to use it again. This happens more than 2-3 in a day. I will try to log it but since it happens randomly, Idk how to reproduce it to be able to show it in the logs. Does anyone has the same problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] xabu:
To bring your problem closer to a solution, I would first check the external sd card itself. Have you tried a new one? At least your problem doesn't seem to have anything to do with the ROM. Neither in the thread of the S7 nor in the thread of the S7 Edge we saw this problem before.

Randomly restarting is often caused by a bad functioning app.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] ilker4fun:
I haven't tried to change the external sd card but it was fully functional before flashing this rom. I also thought culprit of random restarting is an app but I haven't figured out yet. I want to be sure if this only happens to me at first. Thanks for quick response,though. I will dig deeper to find the problem

With calls the vibration is clearly noticeable, but not with SMS and popup messages. I have already set the vibration intensity to strong.

Additionally, the volume panel is displayed on the right side, although it is set to the left in the settings.

Otherwise, everything is very stable so far.

I had installed this ROM yesterday.. Upgrading from LOS 18.. Have installed it with Magisk 24. ROM is a lot smoother compared to 18. Thanks @Ivan_Meler for the great ROM. At times when I decide to upgrade my phone, I see a new version from you, which helps me push thro with my S7E for another year..

A general query to all... Any suggestions on improving the sound with Audio mods? and its compatibility with Magisk 24? I was thinking about installing Ainur + Viper4Android after freezing musicfx; default audio is average at best, mostly attributed to the pathetic sound chip (greatly miss the wolfson chip from earlier galaxies). Any suggestions welcome.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ivan_Meler:
Well here are some progress update of whats happening behind the scenes.

Ive given 4.4 kernel from 8895 another go and got even further in porting it to 8890 devices this time around.

Mali drivers are ported so is decon (display and graphics stack is up)

I also managed to port audio drivers, buttons and their backlight.

UFS storage drivers were somewhat pain but i got them to work too

and there is tons of small stuff like fp sensor,thermal driver and misc

Tho im not sure it makes too much sense to do this as 4.4 kernel is eol too at least it has full bpf support which i got working on 8895 devices

Other than that there is not too much going on right now, There are few selinux policies that will have to be dealt with and im still dealing with audio config

tho i could only notice echo and not robotic voice some people noticed so that leads me to believe it could be related to weird modem missmatches

I might release another quick build this month with few audio related improvements

No etas as i do this in my free time, And as always thanks to everyone who supported this project so fat as thanks to them this project and device are still alive on latest android version even 6 years after its release (fun fact s7 series was announced on 21. feb. 2016.) so this is somewhat of a s7 birthday update on progress

Hm... I read through this thread and noticed only a few are having that notification flooding issue. Myself included. I think it started when using Google Play Services instead of Aurora. But i'm not sure. Will test that later.

Edit:

So, what works for me, is under Notifications, subpoint Device and App-Notification, allowing trebuchet and googleplay services to access notifications.

Can't test if Google Play Services is necessary, could imagine it shouldn't but can't test right now.

Progress update for March 2022.

- Cleaned up patches needed for build

- Removed AudioFX which was causing issues

- Decreased microphone gain a bit to mitigate in-call issues

- Performance improvements

- Updated some device control apps like advanced display settings

- Improved vibrator intensity in new hal

- Imrpoved fp sensor response time

- A lot of 'under the hood' changes

- Merged more previously missing los features

- Implemented OTA updates

Builds will be out once March security update source is merged in los, this is quite a large update as it will also come with march 2022 pixel feature drop

Otas will also come to 18.1 and 17.1 builds, they will make updates easier but as always checking a thread is recommanded for changelogs and progress updates.

Lastly as always thanks to everyone who supported this project and made it possible by covering the build server cost and coffee
