The file size of the new build in Ota and the new build here is different. What is the difference between them?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] droidwan:
For OTA, my device can detect and download the new build, but failed to intsall. When I click Install, I see the "Apply Update" popup saying "If you press OK, the device will restart itself in recovery mode to install the update." But after OK pressed, nothing happened. I've installed the twrp-3.6.1_9-0-hero2lte.img. Did I miss something?

Guys, do you have sound when you record a video ? I recorded one, but when I play the video, I got no sound. If I go to camera app infos, I can see microphone permission is given but doesn't have any recent access. (last update, didn't try to record video with previous ones)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ex novo:
For me it's working. I'm using Open Camera. Only the volume is low.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Morak75:
I'm talking about the stock cam.. :) meaning the rom isn't suited for daily use out of the box :/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Nosepull:
Latest OTA gave me a bootloop :-(. Are the older ROMs available for download somewahre @Ivan_Meler?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Nosepull:
Never mind, seems to be some other reason....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ivan_Meler:
That will be fixed in next build, i boosted mic volume gain used for media recording
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Morak75:
Recorder app also doesn't work, I mean no sound recorded. Also it asks for Phone Call permissions, not microphone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ivan_Meler:
Here is another small update, Nothing too major but there are some general improvements

- Updated sepolicy and merged updated common samsung_slsi sepolicy

- Increased microphone gain while recording media (Camcorder, voice recording etc.)

- Added option to disable vibration feedback on fingerprint auth

- Synced with LineageOS source

Big thanks to everyone who supported this project and helped me cover the build server cost.

Btw guys, Nikgapps have been updated to support 12L ;) (didn't try it yet)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] schitthoch2:
Hi

Very smooth ROM and perfect OTA update. Thank you.

I am having issues, that the GPS is inacurate. So it's about 50 meters of.

Is there a recommended way to fix this. I.e. modify gps.conf etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ex novo:
The GPS here is working very well. Try installing GPS Test:

GPS Test – Apps no Google Play

Obtenha GPS e informações do sensor em um só lugar com um formato acessível

play.google.com

In an outdoor area open the app and see if it connects to the satellites. If after a minute or two it still hasn't detected anything (the "no fix" message appears) click on the 3 dots on the top right, click on AGPS, clear and Update and wait up to 5 minutes outdoor. If it doesn't work restart the device and clean and update the AGPS again.

My bank app is not working .. when it launch it give me ( app error) can you help me make it work?

It's working with floyd rom and the PE 12

But I want it to work with this rom because it lighter
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ivan_Meler:
well you have to pass safetynet for it to work likely, My rom doesnt include any hacks so you will have to install magisk (24.1) and https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix yourself you can use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rikka.safetynetchecker to check your safetynet status afterwards

Hi guys i have s7 edge original stock android 8.0 . I want up to my phone better android and user interface . Right now , what is best option(android) for s7 edge ? And how to i download _ install . I am noob by the way :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] steve8x8:
@apopolay

Samsung phones are not the easiest to convert to LineageOS but it's possible.

Find a computer running an OS you're familiar with, or you want to become familiar with.

Find a good USB cable, and a working USB port (2.0 preferred over 3.0).

Get a recent TWRP (https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-exynos-official-twrp-for-galaxy-s7-edge-hero2lte.3334084/) and Odin (WIndows) or Heimdall (Linux/macos) - I prefer the latter (mostly because drivers can be a nightmare on W, and command lines appeal to me more than flickering graphics do).

Get some good instructions for Heimdall or Odin - you will only flash the recovery first, not a whole firmware!

In particular, find the key combinations to * switch off the phone, * restart it into bootloader mode, * restart it into recovery mode. XDA search is your friend. Read a lot, then reread and make sure you understood. (Do not follow other sites which may present fake instructions.)

Important: Upgrade to the latest available stock firmware first!

Install the TWRP recovery, and directly (!!!) restart into it.

Then use adb (from Android PlatformTools, matching your computer) to push the files to internal memory of the phone, and install from there (see OP).

There be dragons, you've been warned. Better exercise with an older device first :) (I never bricked a Samsung, but YMMV.)

If you succeed, you've been a noob for the longest time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] apvinod2003:
Installed the latest version 20220427 and all seem to be smooth except the call volume. I'm barely able to hear the person at the other end. The other person is able to hear me, so I assume my mic is ok.. Is there any way to boost the call volume with some mod ?

omg calling problem ! is this problem can be fix next update
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Bujiraso:
Thanks kindly @Ivan_Meler for the work on this ROM!

I'll echo the other sentiments here that the voice quality is a distinct problem with this ROM. Are there any plans to get that fixed? It would be valuable to me so I may be willing to put in software development work and/or bug bounty money - difficulty and price depending, haha.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Duszan:
I still hope that voLTE functions will be implemented in the future, this should significantly improve the quality of calls as on the stock software

Hello everyone,

I have updated my S7 to Lineage 19.1 and I like it, but i need vowifi and can't find it, how to enable vowifi ? Otherwise i'll have to go back to official rom android8 😢
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Duszan:
There's no vowifi or volte option in this rom, as far as I know it's samsung related stuff and it can be not implemented on aosp android, but maybe in future, who knows. You might check android 9 rom based on galaxy note FE if you care about it.

I have a problem with wi fi and mobile network traffik monitor, show 0kb and settings are grey (unactive).

Please help, it is important for me
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] kiwidudeNZ:
This was mentioned quite a few months ago by myself and a few others. Sorry to sound negative but my comments from months ago were largely ignored. If you want a ROM that doesnt have voice issues then I would suggest lineage 18.1 which is what I'm using now as a daily driver and it's fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] apvinod2003:
@Ivan_Meler does removal of Audiofx contribute to poor call quality ? I was using Feb 22 version of this ROM (with audio fx) and the call quality was significantly better.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Bujiraso:
Is this something I can install to try?

I see there's a Magisk module which says it won't work on LOS.

Happy to test.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] apvinod2003:
AudioFX EQ comes with LineageOS by default.. only that it has been removed from recent builds. I don't have the link to Feb build... the audio gain was set to high..due to which the ear piece volume during calls were more.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ivan_Meler:
Here it is May security update with few changes related to device too

- Improved battery usage logging for display

- Added QR code reader to camera app (Long hold icon and launch it from context menu)

- Misc performance and stability improvements

- Merged May 2022. security update

- Synced with LineageOS source

I also continued work and testing of new power hal ive been working on for past month or so, Hopefully ill release build with it in a few days (If time allows me as i do this in my free time as a hobby)

Power hal seems to perform better and manage battery life and performance way better than curent one but i would like to test it further before releasing it

As always huge thanks to everyone who supported this project and helped me cover the build server cost which is one of reason why this project is still alive keeping s7 up to date with software, New power hal will improve things even further so i cant wait to release next build with it

18.1 and 17.1 builds will be out in a few days too

Enjoy new build and stay safe
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] okonabara:
Thank you for your hard work :coffee:

I was able to flash your Rom whithout any hassle.

So far only thing is bodering me is, low volum sound.

Again.. thank you for your work, very apricieded.

Volume Fix for S7 edge Exynos Europe:​

Root required!

1- I downaloded Fx file explorer.

2- Apply root on Entry to File explorer FX

3- Go to settings in Fx file ex. and turn on root (agree on damage your phone :p)

4- Root file should show up, go to ROOT/system/vendor/ETC

5- Inside this folder go to 3 dots (mine was on the right top)

select Mount Read-Write (agree on damage)

6- Go to file mixer_paths_0.xml and make a copy (backup) .

then ....edit(keep in mide if you exit Fx file explorer you cannot save file, you need go back same step again )

9- Clik three dots and search for line 700 in editor.

10- Look for "Output volume stage" In my case value was 23

11- Edit to 42 (over 42 I have distortions in sound)

12- "Save file as" and add sone letter on END (f.ex. mixer_paths_0.xmlQ) exit editor.

13- Delete original file in folder and edit your modifed file by removing last letter.

14-view file to see if you manage to change value.

15- Reboot and see if it worked.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] :
In the new structure, even if the location is closed, I get the warning that location is being used. It appears for a second and disappears. When I look at the settings, phone services are using this, is there a way to hide or prevent it?

Also, why is the file size in ota different from the file size here?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ivan_Meler:
Here we go new build is up and here is the changelog (I also "fixed" mess google made with phone services notification which was affecting a lot of devices and wasnt device or rom specific)

- Switched to new libperfmgr power hal which can be configured from /system/vendor/etc/powerhints.json

- Adapted DT2W to new power hal

- Muted phone services gps notif (Thanks google really appreciate you breaking random things for everyone)

- Improved battery life and performance

- Cleaned up all of leftover patches that were used by legacy power hal

- Synced with LineageOS source

This update has new power hal which took quite a long time to get working properly

It also outperforms old one and battery life is also better with it since it handles power management way better

Huge thanks to everyone who supported this project and got me coffee while working on this thing

Also huge thanks to everyone who donated and helped me cover the build server cost as they are the reason this project is still alive

If volume fix is a setting in file, @Ivan_Meler is it possible to bake in this change in the build? Rooting the phone for this fix, would result in many bank and work apps not working (even with zygisk, work apps detect root), so tryin to leave it as is as.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] okonabara:

Hello @Ivan_Meler and everyone else, could anyone tell me where the OTA update files are being held? I wanna keep them on a separate drive in case I need to reflash an older version and save space on my S7 Edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ivan_Meler:
Oh hey they are actually kept on github releases page so you can get them from there if you end up needing older release

Releases · ivanmeler/ota_provider

Backend for OTAs, Please use https://ivanmeler.github.io to grab latest release - ivanmeler/ota_provider

older releases are not being deleted from there

but if you want to pull files from phone instead of re-downloading them its in /data/lineageos_updates/

What are the pros and cons of encrypting a phone?

Particular interest in the cons.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ex novo:
The pros are that once the data partition is rooted, only those who have the password will be able to access your personal data. This is useful if your phone is lost or stolen. The cons are that you can no longer wipe cache and dalvik/cache via TWRP because recovery cannot read data partition. To get around this I use this app:

Cache Cleaner (ROOT) – Apps no Google Play

Cache Cleaner (ROOT) é uma ferramenta de usuário root para limpar arquivos antigos

play.google.com

I always clean cache and dalvik/cache with this app after updating LineageOS.

Another cons is that Magisk needs to be reflashed on every update but that's easy. Just rename the magisk apk from Magisk-v24.1.apk to Magisk-v.24.1.zip, and flash the zip file with TWRP. Obviously the zip must be on external sd card.

Another cons is that since Recovery cannot read internal storage (data partition), if you install a Magisk module or an app or change some file that takes the device to a bootloop, it will not be possible to uninstall the app or module or revert the change on the file through TWRP to recover the device and you will probably have to format data partition and maybe even reinstall the ROM to recover the phone. The only way to reverse device's encryption is format data partition with TWRP (format, not wipe).

I think is advisable to make a backup of data and especially EFS partition (backup of device IMEI) before encrypting or installing a new ROM and save on a external storage.

You can recover from bootloop caused by an app by restarting in safe mode and uninstalling the app.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] steve8x8:
In another context it has been discussed that hiding the Magisk app (by renaming it to a random package name) and the TWRP tree in storage (by also renaming it) may additionally require renaming of the "survival script" in /system/addon.d/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ivan_Meler:

Since my birthday is tomorrow I decided to release a little surprise build. Here is a brief changelog:

- Updated libexynosdisplay from BSP to comply with some android 12 changes

- Removed unused build.prop entries

- Fixed few selinux denials related to hwc props

- Improved UI performance and stability

- Cleaned up source

- Removed more unneeded patches for device support

- Synced with LineageOS source

Im aware of Seedvault issue curently present and im working on a fix for it.

I wanted to release something as a gift from me to everyone using this rom and supporting this project throughout the years. Keeping older phones alive and up to date is really fun hobby and I don't think I would've kept doing it if it wasnt for all of the support from the comunity.

Once again big thanks to everyone who helped cover the build serve cost and coffee.
