In case you used bitgapps that exactly is the reason (They actually even tell you to reflash them after rom update during rom update process, But most people dont read that text haha)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
Yeah if anything ill have a bit more free time for the next few days which is nice
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
Thanks for your work, Ivan. Hope you'll be fine again soon and that you're not fighting with big health issues regarding Covid.

I did a clean install including BitGapps, but still am ending in a boot loop. This is the second time I tried. First one with installing ROM -> reboot to recovery -> installing Magisk -> reboot to recovery -> installing BitGapps/Addons. Second time I installed Magisk on last position. Still boot loop.

Doesn't seem to be related to ROM, maybe the safetynet installer from BitGapps.

Will post again as soon as there is a success. :)

EDIT: For those affected: Running the safetynet restore patch resolved the bootloop issue for me:

GitHub - BiTGApps/BiTGApps: The main repository of The BiTGApps Project

I have to mention that system comes up with an error message telling me that "Speech Service by Google was terminated repeatedly." (I have Text-To-Speech addon installed, but that error didn't came up with the last version.)

EDIT 2: @Ivan: Just realized the clock on the lockscreen is shifted to the left again. (Only seems to happen when you have unread messages on lockscreen) There's also something going on on the statusbar. The date is displayed in bigger font size and also shifted to the left. Both issues were resolved with your build from 2022/01/06.

Speech Service got updated and error message isn't coming up no more.

Hey Ivan, could you add NFC toggle to drop down menu, in ram usage it shows nfc. I never use it and would prefer if disabled.

Rom is smooth like Guinness in a glass
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
oh hey memory usage is likely wrong as long as you have nfc turned off in settings.

Reason why this is happening is because nfc is system app using uid 0, so memory usage gets confused by fact system processes are using memory and just randomly choses one it will show in stats
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] headzy:
Thanks for the answer, was wondering how this was possible.

- Proximity and light sensors are working (maybe it is some hardware problem i have?)

- The SIM card (and WiFi) data usage is counting? (it's always 0MB)

Hi, I did a dirty update from 18.1 and Gpay won't let me configure my card for contactless payment with a warning that I'm using a custom or rooted rom. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I really didn't want to have to do a clean install. Device is certified in Google Play's protect certification. I'm using NIKgapps. Thanks a lot Ivan, really impressive work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] cas1421:
Hi @Ivan_Meler

Light sensors are working but they are no as reactive as in stock rom.

I have to always manually correct it.

Maybe if possible we can just take Samsung implementation Libs ?

Thx.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Zuikkis:
That's safetynet issue, Google play store not certified. Banking apps probably don't work either .

Install magisk, and enable magisk hide.. then you probably need to clear data of Google play services.

There are tons of threads about this. It's the same for almost any custom ROM for any device.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
Before installing this ROM I also had a custom ROM running. Although not necessary I went back to stock first and made required changes to the dev options and allow OEM unlock. After that I ran a backup of the IMEI partition in TWRP. Only after that I wiped everything and went on with flashing this ROM.

A ton of threads regarding the same topic might also be an indicator for other people's stupidity. :D

I just tried to install Netflix on my device through the Playstore...working flawlessly. But as you mentioned I have Magisk installed as a hidden service.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Nevaran:
Well u need to OEM unlock in the first place anyway; i just dont think i did an IMEI partition backup, not sure what thats used for; but everything else ive done correctly (and even incorrectly in previous custom rom installs)

@Ivan_Meler

Once more, thank you for this new version delivered to our S7. (y)

I would have a specific question for you as the father of all LOS ROM for the S7:

I am not that much after the lastest version of Android, I just like having something working. Updating LOS usually means getting fixes and improvements so this is why I have always been tempted to get newer versions.

I am wondering if the latest builds of previous LOS versions (let say 18.1, 17.1, 16 and 15.1) are all supposed to have reached the same point in term of battery life or camera quality? Or could you say the 17.1 should have better battery life? Maybe you managed to tweak the camera quality more on 16 than 17.1 and 18.1, etc.

In short, could an older LOS version lead to a better overall stability? Or should we always look for the last version as it is the one most likely to gather all the fixes you came with over the years?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
According to the instruction posted above:

"If IMEI is lost during a flash, phone won't be able to reach cellphone networks."

Not sure if that happened in your case, but as you reported your SIM not being active, this was the first thing that came to my mind.

With the second problem (no access to SD card) I have no clue so far. Is there a message in statusbar asking you to configure SD card for internal or external use? Did you remove SD card during flashing process? Are you able to access SD card through TWRP and possibly mount it there?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
Are you reffering to the official playstore? Don't you have it or aren't you able to download and install through playstore?

Those are two different issues and it would be helpful if you could give some more details in case you're looking for help.

Do you have other google apps installed? Which Gapps package did you use for installation? Are you running Magisk and have it hide from system within Magisk itself?

------

Czy masz na myśli oficjalny sklep z zabawkami? Nie masz go lub nie możesz pobrać i zainstalować przez Playstore?

To są dwa różne problemy i byłoby pomocne, gdybyś mógł podać więcej szczegółów, jeśli szukasz pomocy.

Czy masz zainstalowane inne aplikacje Google? Którego pakietu Gapps użyłeś do instalacji? Czy używasz Magiska i ukrywasz go przed systemem w samym Magisku?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Nevaran:
The access to the SD card is a weird one; the stock file manager seems to work fine, but installing the one I use and like, when it sends a message to grant access to teh sd card it complains that it cannot grant access to the root folder because of privacy. The app is called File Manager from File Manager Plus (very original, i know)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
I'm using total commander. When first trying to access sd card it is asking for permission.

Did you try: App manager -> File Manger Plus -> Memory and Cache -> Empty cache & Memory Content?

Otherwise maybe take a look at the granted permissions to see if one is missing there.

There is also an option (I think it's in dev options) to allow access to sd card for other apps. Maybe check this as well.

EDIT: Yes, it is in dev options. You need to unlock access to sd for all apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Nevaran:
I was roaming around the permissions options, couldnt find a way to grant it- and i completely reinstalled the app a few times, same issue
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
So access to sd for all apps is given in dev options?

Just in case: Enable dev options by tapping 7 times on build version in the "About phone" section.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
Anybody here already tried to add a module to magisk (either by installing from magisk or from internal location)?

To get my banking app (tan generator, not banking app in general, this one is working without any issues) running I wanted to install riru. magisk said installation was successful and wants to restart. But module isn't showing up in installed modules.

Should root access be only given to apps and not adb in Magisk superSU options?

EDIT: Weird...after re-installing Magisk within Magisk itself, modules can be installed now. Safetynet still fine,
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Nevaran:
I always enable dev mode...i aint installing **** without having at least x0.5 animation time xD
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ffox.pl:
Thank you very much because I would make a big mistake. I was thinking of LineageOS 18.0 ignoring that it is LineageOS 19.0 (Android 12).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
=)

Expected you to be aware of it, but I always have others in mind who are probably reading this later and don't have that level of knowledge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Nevaran:
True....So if i try another install attempt and do an EFS-only backup; can i reapply this backup on the new ROM? Or will that give issues
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
Do you have a backup of this device when it was still working that you can restore? Otherwise doing an EFS backup now with your phone not being able to connect to the cellphone network doesn't seem to make any sense to me.

Honestly I never had to deal with restoring EFS partitions. I did a backup of this partition before flashing LOS 19 the first time. Because I messed up at a later point I repeated a clean install but without EFS backup, which also worked fine for me.

Another silly idea: Did you check the tray which contains your SIM and sd card? Maybe it is not sitting the supposed way (although the tight space doesn't seem to allow for this).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Nevaran:
I have my LightROM on; i always keep a backup of my latest working ROMs before i do anything, saves me a tooon of headache :P

And ye, i did check the sim and card; because after i checked it and went to my old ROM it was all working fine.

I *do* think the actual sim card worked at the start? I think it connected to my mobile internet and everything but then when i was installing apps and checking for bugs i noticed the sim card was lost

And what I was asking if i can put the previous custom ROM's EFS with the new (LOS) one, because I have some stuff like my bank app that uses the IMEI address or something of the device so it saves me several days of headache trying to register it by going to the bank.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
Not sure which effect it has on LOS 19 to restore the old EFS partition. But now that I'm sure you do have a backup of your old system I'd suggest to format the phone, then wipe it and reflash LOS 19, reboot install BitGapps + addons, reboot and install Magisk canary (if you require comdirect pushtan app), otherwise latest Magisk v23 will work as well.

I can only speak for myself, but in my case everything else would nag me in the back of my mind. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Nevaran:
When you say format the phone, you mean just through TWRP? not like a complete reset to stock rom and re-rooting it and stuff?

Also not sure what comdirect pushtan is but i would like it if there was a way to enable the heartrate sensor for the S-Health app (or any app that uses the sensor)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
Don't think going to stock would make a significat difference. Using TWRP to format and then wipe (check everything except external and usb-otg) should be enough. Then flash latest LOS 19 from 2022.01.18.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Nevaran:
I just flashed to the latest, installing the apps and configuring the settings; sim card seems to be working and ill check if the file manager app works in a bit.

This time i actually followed it word for word on the post you linked on installing it properly, which just means the only extra thing i did is restarting to recovery after certain steps.

Edit: this time i can access my sd card properly! and it weirdly didnt give me any popups to grant access, which is slightly worrysome
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
Sounds good so far. Glad it was a success.

Regarding sd card...probably it wasn't removed while flashing process and therefore was already recognized by recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Nevaran:
Well the sd card problem was after i installed the rom and was using it, so no clue what happened there last time...and twrp works just fine, so thats good at least
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
<QUOTE>Edit: this time i can access my sd card properly! and it weirdly didnt give me any popups to grant access, which is slightly worrysome.</QUOTE>

My answer was reffering to your last statement about your sd card. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Nevaran:
Ah fair xD

Theres one huge problem I think I found out though. Not sure if it has something to do with the kernel splash screen when starting the phone still says Superman ROM or not, but after a prolonged time listening to internet radio through an app (Replaio), the wifi seems to quite literally just....toggle off. Happened to me before when I was using lightROM and updating the kernel fixed the issue. Not sure how I can update it here, though...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
Not sure which bank app you are using, but in my case the old workaround (riru + riru unshare) wasn't working any longer. Instead the latest Magisk beta (canary version) is using Zygisk for hiding root for specified apps.

Workaround:

Download latest canary version of Magisk here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk-files/blob/canary/app-debug.apk

Download safetynet fix for canary version here: https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases

Take a note (or screenshot) of your current hidden apps, including the activated toogles.

Uninstall Magisk from the app itself and boot to recovery

Install canary version through TWRP, reboot to recovery and install safetynet fix.

Reboot to system and update Magisk with direct installation.

Reboot and go to Magisk settings, enabling Zygist and also "Force Denylist".

Reboot and configure the apps you want to hide in hidelist.

DO NOT HIDE THE MAGISK APP ITSELF!

Maybe it is required to delete cache of your banking app before starting it for the first time- keep in mind that you might need to login or verify again.

Enjoy root on your device without banking apps realizing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Nevaran:
Yeah, pretty rare and apparently random bug. Tried to repeat it but it didnt seem to happen after several hours of streaming the radio
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Zuikkis:
Thanks for the detailed instructions on Magisk Canary!

However I'd like to point out that banking apps are working for me with just Magisk v23 (stable channel) and Magisk Hide. No extra modules installed.

SafetyNet passes, Google Play shows "certified", banking apps work including Google Pay NFC payments..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Nevaran:
Well after trying out the ROM for a few days i found enough issues with it that will force me back to using LightROM...

My banking app crashing every time i try open it is one, another is robotic voice when someone calls me and recording not working; and finally the AOD seems to eat more battery than my previous ROM.

Thanks for the help, anyway!

Hi, Ivan! How are you?

Hope everithing is good.

It's time to say thank you very much for your great work.

However I'd like to tell you that the slide typing feature (working in your LineaneOS 18.1 isn't working in version 19.0.

It would be great to use the native keyboard.

Is it possible to fix it, please?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
BitGapps comes with Google gboard (with swift/glide typing function). If you aren't using BitGapps you can install gboard from Playstore and use it instead of the stock keyboard.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] bgsdeluxe:
Yeah, my banking app itself is also working without any issues although I didn't add it to the hidden apps within Magisk. However it is a completely different story with various tan generator apps you'll need for some banking. Those have different requirements. And some banks really got engaded in that cat 'n mouse play with the community. In most cases an older version of the app with disabled update function will also do the trick, but I don't like running outdated and possibly vulnerable software on my devices.
