1. VoLTE will never work on AOSP based Custom ROM, as VoLTE on S7 is Samsung's own proprietary implementation (there's someone trying to make VoLTE work on S8 though, so there's still some hope).

2. The stock camera really bad, as it doesn't have the processing magic from Samsung stock camera app. My only solution (and some other people I guess) to just use GCam.

3. Disable the smart cover detection setting, I forgot where the setting located though.

Hope this can help...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] SyedKhizarShahKazmi:
I have found the solution, what i was doing wrong was i was exiting twrp after changing file system,so i had to flash stock rom as Os was destroyed by changing file system. I tried to change file system and then transfer rom files from my pc to internal storage, then flashing it. It worked and i am on Android 13 finally.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] insonic:
1. This is what I was afraid of :(

2. GCam crashes and/or takes extremely long to show up in my case when using the main camera. The selfie camera works fine.

3. Wow, thanks for that hint! I did not even suspect it. I could trigger it with a small magnet. I don't see the required option in the settings, but now at least I know how to unlock the phone if it happens again :D. I believe Ivan needs to know about it when building the next release.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] sam_ID:
1. Yeah, we can only hope the Open Source VoLTE project will be done and can be implemented here.

2. What GCam did you use? I use UniXGcam and it works just fine with proper setting. But on my phone, the front cam capture pink photos when using HDR.

I am also from Pakistan,my HBL app is working .I did a lot of research on this app nothing worked so i tried my own method , here is solution to this app.

Download magisk delta(canary build) from chrome. Then configure magisk hide/denylist, hide play store and play services there also HBL app. Enable zygisk and then download "play integrity next+gms","lsposed framework","shamiko" from github. Flash these three modules after that open gms app it will do its thing then open ur safteychecker check if safteynet passes(it will be passed). If not then clear data of play services and play store. Then go to lsposed module, in its repository download and enable bootloader spoofer, hide my applist module. HBL checks ur bootloader status if its unlock it will not work this is where bootloader spoofer comes to play.If u have anyother app that works on root hide it in "hide my app list" also hide magisk even if u had renamed it. After all of this clear data of HBL. It is working on my phone and i am using this rom as of now with magisk delta. If somehow this doesn't work, go to internal storage and change the name of twrp folder and gapps folder and disabled developer options if enabled. This will work 100% if u are confused follow YouTube to install these modules.

I repeat it will work. If not working then u are missing any step.

WiFi sometimes breaks down. Rebooting fixes the WiFi connection.

Even then, pairing device with Android Studio with QR Code over Wi-Fi often fails. The phone seems to recognize the QR Code but the connection establishment often fails with timeout on the Android Studio side. The Paired devices list on the phone has the computer and Forget does nothing.

It also happens on pixel experience.

HD Kamera 2024 für Android (com.risingcabbage.hd.camera)

Secure Camera (app.grapheneos.camera.play)

Google Pixel Camera (com.google.android.GoogleCamera)

Open Camera (net.sourceforge.opencamera)

It looks more like a problem with resource leaks in the driver itself, since it doesn't matter what app is being used. Forcefully terminating (settings/apps) all camera-apps helps partially. It is much longer that I can use the camera before having to reboot the device. But still, the complete freeze will come one day.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] fumbles22:
I know you just released an android 14 version, but I thought I would flash this ROM instead since all of the kinks had been worked out.

My first impression is that this is one well designed ROM! It's super smooth and stable and, with the "core" version of Nikgapps, there are only the apps that I want to use. I was surprised to see that the security patch was from January 5th 2024. Very recent!

It's nice to see that this phone is still supported. Keep up the good work!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] fumbles22:
P.S: Is there a way to install charging control?

This was a default option on the lineage 20 XZ1 and XZ premium ROMS that I downloaded (and I thought that it was a default option for lineage 20 itself) but I couldn't find it on this device.

Thanks @Ivan_Meler for another update, which arrived OTA on my phone today!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] MrBricker:
indeed, thank you

@Ivan_Meler Thanks genius,you are the reason this device is still supported

Thanks ivan for keeping this phone alive which i am currently using. May God bless you and ur parents 💕💖
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] PSmiecho:
First of all I'd like to thank you for your great work. Your ROM makes my old and trusty S7 running after all those years.

Due to some perturbances in private life i missed the fact that OTA hasn't been working for a few months. I just want to confirm the correct procedure for updating ROM manually. Will it be enough if I flash single ROM ZIP (with TWRP) and clean cache or should I take some other actions like flashing Gapps?

It may seems stupid but I've never updated ROM manually. I've always done a clean install or used OTA... ;)

Edit:

Nevermind. ;) I managed to update system myself. It's easier than I thought. I just installed/flashed LineageOS ZIP via TWRP, then did the same with Magisk (apk file renamed to zip), cleared cache and dalvik cache and rebooted my device. No need to install Gapps again - thats what I wasn't so sure before.

Thank you again for not only keeping my device alive, but also making it so easy. ;) All the best!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] ei146:
And another OTA update arrived on my phone today, reporting Android security patches from 5th of May. Thank you @Ivan_Meler!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] steve8x8:
Successfully OTA upgraded over the March version. Many thanks!

In another device thread, I was pointed at https://github.com/acroreiser/kernel_samsung_msm8974 which seems to have an approach to BPF. No idea whether this could be useful for our device...

Hi There

Just Wanted To Inform A Issue In The ROM

The Hotspot Doesn't Work For Me 😕

The Toggle Switches On And Switches Off By Its Own After Few Seconds
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] steve8x8:
@CYB0RG33 did you observe this in the previous release(s) too, or is this a new issue with the May version?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] steve8x8:
@CYB0RG33 Just checked with my wife's S7 Edge running LOS 20.0 May (OTA upgraded from March release): Her hotspot has been stable for a few minutes now, and she's using the hotspot WiFi while we speak. So this might as well be an issue of your device...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] ei146:
Hi @Ivan_Meler and all, looks like the June update is available OTA. Unfortunately it does not seem to work. The Updater downloads it fine, but after the download the file fails the integrity check. The only option the Updater gives me is another download, which fails the check again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] old one2:
If you go to page 1 of forum, and download github option, then install via twrp.

That worked for me, tho it was slow to download.

Google option is/ was out of date.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] ei146:
Thanks! That worked for me. Download speed was also good.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] S7 Edgeexinos:
Hi, I've had Lineage Os 20 installed on my S7 Edge with Exinos for 2 weeks now, works fine.

Although I still didn't manage to make banking apps work, do I need to install something?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] old one2:
Yes.

I have Google pay and banking apps working in UK.

If you go back in this thread,

SyedKhizarShahKazmi posted info on how to get them working.​
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] revengeto:
I'm connected to the Wifi but the internet does not work anymore and my QR code scanner won't launch. What can I try please?

I have already tested the last June build. I flashed zip from twrp because the OTA didn't work even on 4G like ei146.

Hello Tom & Andrew!

LineageOS 20.0 (Android 13) for S7 Edge Exynos

Ivan, thank you for your good work. I switched from your Android 12 to this version 13 with Samsung S7 Edge, SM G935F.

I installed the recommended Gapps version and Magisk 25.2 & twrp-3.6.2_9-0-hero2lte using ODIN3.

Unfortunately I have two small problems that I can't explain.

1. The extended restart does not work, for example to get into recovery, only works with a hardware button combination.

2. The battery percentage display doesn't work either. Developer option is enabled. OK, maybe the problem is in front of the phone, so me?

Thank you for your upcoming feedback. I suspect that my English is not very good. greeting
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] zzz2002:
If you read the introductory post in this thread it identifies some of the things that are working and what are not.

It may take while to fix the problems as this a new ROM with a new architecture.

Do please be patient.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] zzz2002:
I am currently using in initial release of this ROM. While most things are working without major problems I am having a few hicups.

As a result I'm wondering if might be an idea to revert to the 19.1 release.

I am NOT asking for timeline, but is the next version of 20 close or should I reverted.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Dr. Ralphi:
Of course, I only skimmed the opening post, in my euphoria I was just unsure whether the things mentioned were the result of my own handling errors or are already known teething problems that are gradually being eliminated. I would stay with this version now, because all the basic functions I know run well and smoothly, and of course I'm going to be patient. In a way, it was a well-intentioned legwork for the checklist. In any case, there are signs of a life extension for my S7, thanks IVAN!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Dr. Ralphi:
Oh, I'm embarrassed!

...have now read everything and switched on my head. As an "admin" I've always wondered why the users don't read first before they write, now it's happening to me. Mea culpa

Use 19.1 for now. Magisk + BitGapps systemless + safetynet fix module + shamiko = still works fine.

And also - please be advised that you will have problems with DRM security level.

If you wish to have mostly stable and working ROM - revert back to 19.1 and support the Dev to polish 20.0

Hi, i rooted this ROM after using latest Magisk, then used my banking apps after hiding Magisk and using Zygisk. Every app is working fine except this Banking app, this app is still able to judge that my device is rooted. I used Island and shamiko as well but still no use, can anyone recommend me any other way ?

If I don't root, this app still shows that the device is rooted, in the fresh installed ROM.

App Name: HBL Mobile
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Mad Bob:
Check with Universal SafetyNet Fix instead.

Use in magisk settings "Hide the Magisk app" and reboot.

Reinstall your bank app and "enable" it in Magisk => Configure DenyList

p.s.: could be some special case with HBL Mobile, try to google it if the way above doesn`t works.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] florin_stann:
This is a different environment, not a Samsung one, hence the apps you mentioned will not work.

For those to work, you need a One UI based ROM, not a Lineage OS.

As unsusefull marked in LOS20 and planned use choosen for apps and data.

Cards was formatted by LOS…all hangs. Or: Card was formatted (imho finished,no error) and LOS means that the card is „Ejected“…. And System is mostly unuseful, hangs….

With no inserted sdcard….fully functional!

Any hints?

Hey Ivan, thanks for all your hard work! I'm sure the community really appreciates it! Though I do have a question. Do you plan on fixing the Seedvault backup option or do you have any alternatives? It seems to keep crashing on my device.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ahmad-issa1999:
Great !! Still no issues?

I'm on los 19.1 April build , would you recommend to do the same ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] florin_stann:
No issues at all.

I've updated to the latest build since then and the phone runs great.

Mind you, read about the things that are not working, before upgrading. If you can do without the storage encryption, or navigation button lights, everything is fine.

Me, considering the age of the device, seeing it is possible to run android 13 on it, i don't care about small limitations.

Please don't forget to flash both the rom and the gapps.

I kept Nikgapps 12.1 version, but 13 is now available as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ahmad-issa1999:

Thanks alot , tho I've just seen this review https://xdaforums.com/t/lineageos-2...ates-for-s7-edge-exynos.4484511/post-87472905 about sd cards , what do you think ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] florin_stann:
Yeah, it is possible.

But because i had everything set up since 12L, for me it works all great.

This being said, i never needed to format the SD card after dirty flashing. So, we might both be right: my review as dirty flash, his review as clean.

What i suggest is install 12L first(you did anyway, just update to the latest September version of 12L).

Once everything is set up(from WhatsApp to banking apps and fingerprint and ALL), dirty flash A13.

This is how I've done it and I'm still using the device as i type.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Ahmad-issa1999:
Great, can i install the September version of 12L through OTA without any problems ? ( Gapps , bootloop , etc .. )
