hello guys please can someone help,am having Bluetooth issues,both ivan millers build and Expressluke's build,it keeps breaking
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] TheHow7zer:
Does anyone know if it's possible to change the amount of zram (aka ram swap size) on this ROM?

I've seen on Google that it's possible but that it varies depending on the phone and what your kernel supports. I'm just trying to find out if adding another gig on top of the default gig will help at all with some scrolling stutter that I've been noticing.

Thanks for the sweet ROM Ivan!

Edit: never mind. It seems more likely that it's something else affecting the phone. Clearing as much ram as possible and forcing no background apps doesn't fix the issue, plus it's mostly just webpages that stutter. Scrolling lists in other apps seem nice and smooth. I wonder what could be causing the lag?

I am encountering error saying "google play services keeps stopping" during startup and in the step right after setting up date and time my phone is stuck in a "just a sec" screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] TheHow7zer:
I believe I've remedied the issue that I had with scrolling lag/stuttering!

After messing with some other roms and finding they had the same problem I switched back and installed hkTweaks. After setting the minimum frequency of the Big cores to 1248mhz I reduced almost all the hitching! I also changed the GPU from Course_demand to Always_on for a little extra smoothness.

I'm pretty happy with the results, I'm going to try and daily this phone again once I do a battery mod as clearly my settings will have an effect on battery life.

Thanks so much Ivan for bringing modern Android to this old device, it makes it feel new again!

Happy New Year

I really like this OS and admire the work of Ivan! The problem I have (I tried LineageOS 19.1 and 20.0 20240114) is that the quality of phone calls is really bad, what I hear is clear and that's not the problem, but others can barely understand what I say, there is crackling and it sounds like if I speak through a tin can.

I tried the stock ROM and floyd and with both there is no problem.

Has someone ever had this problem or is there a dev mode where I can play with some settings and parameters?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Betschik:
Thank you for your answers.

I have the suspicion that it may be caused by 3G. The receipt für 3G is terrible here, sometimes I can't even establish a connection.

Is there no way to get 4G running with Lineageos? I would even try to build it on my own, but have no idea what to change.

I tried the "activity launcher" and can switch to LTE (it doesn't complain) but when I make a call the telephone-app closes instantly. I tried all the other options there (LTE, CDMA, EvDo, WCDMA etc) but the only thing that works is GSM and the bad quality is back.

Since all settings in the menu are fine, is there maybe any other telephone app I could use?

Well... here in Germany we have 4G... and my Samsung Galaxy S7 has LineageOS 19.1, and runs properly with 4G.

So, your problem with mobile connections might be a question of your mobile provider, but not of LineageOS, I guess.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Devolix:
The question was which model. :)

Samsung Galaxy S7 - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Samsung Exynos 8890 Models (which are only supported by this ROM)​

SM-G930F (International Single SIM)

SM-G930FD (International Dual SIM)

SM-G930W8 (Canada)

SM-G930S (South Korea SK Telecom)

SM-G930K (South Korea KT)

SM-G930L (South Korea LG U+)

United States​

The Galaxy S7 is the first Galaxy S model on which the device's hardware is essentially identical across all of the US variants. As such, all variants were assigned the same device ID (A3LSMG930US) by the FCC. The only differences between US variants is in software/firmware and some minor external branding.

SM-G930U (Unlocked)

SM-G930A (AT&T)

SM-G930V (Verizon Wireless)

SM-G930AZ (Cricket Wireless)

SM-G930P (Sprint)

SM-G930T (T-Mobile US)

SM-G930R4 (US Cellular)

SM-G930R4 (Straight Talk)

~

So there are

7

different

base-hardware Variants

each in 6 different color (Black, White, Gold, Silver, Pink Gold) and 3 different storage options (32, 64, or 128GB internal), which comes in 14+ different software variants (Samsung S7 Exynos non-edge).

You can check the model in system-information in settings app.

The echo problem you can't notice your own. It appears on the other side. So you make a call and the call-receiver can hear themself delayed in this call with lesser volume. (

Without

activated hands-free mode). Sometimes the voice itself appears robotic. This happens over normal mobile call either in IP-based (WhatsApp for example), too.

It looks like that some have this issues. Some not. Since we using the same Software (well we noticed it over several LOS and build versions on fresh install) it must depends on hardware (and used driver etc). To look further and fixing that problem, it needs to know which variants are affected which not. That will help @Ivan_Meler to localize the origin.

I own myself a

SM-G930F

HW v8 (32GB Black, UK import to Germany). Mine is affected.

You say, yours is not. Which variant it is?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
@Devolix

Mine is a SM-G930F German version (Hardware version 8) with 32GB internal memory, I had bought it Februar 2016.

Do you know about S7s in Germany with 128GB internal memory?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Devolix:
I was wondering my own tbf. Just seen 32 and 64 so far. Probably Korea or US only.

Regarding to the echo issue I can think of 2 scenarios what is probably going on. Either:

1. Everyone has that problem, but just rarely people noticing, since its on the other side and very quiet. Or:

2. Some people using US version what uses a different micro and drivers related to it, so it not appears.

Interesting is also it does not appear with stock firmware.

I wish more people come with information so it can be fix, I even thinking about to buy a second phone because of it. Its pretty annoying for people I'm calling to. Most of all if you can't explain why it is, and they ask if I use free-hand-mode etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] myanonymousaccountname:
it says sm-g930f but i do have a microsd and sim card slot, both and its 32gb. bought in europe in an eu member state. 128gb version? lmao are you sure it exists? gsmarena doesnt even list an 128 gb internal memory version. https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s7-7821.php
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Devolix:
So same as ours. Okay that is weird.

Tested with some caller, surely does not have that issue?

I just noticed, I read wrong, the 128 is related to

Edge

variant only.

I also would like to install this rom on my S7 (G930F) but I really don't know how to start and I can't find a guideline.

Is there a guidline availble somewhere?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] myanonymousaccountname:
I just followed the guide on lineage wiki its up to date still except twrp part, in twrp you have to use advanced wipe. wipe everything internal memory related stuff, dalvik, cache, except usb otg and sdcard ofc. I flashed twrp with linux heimdall on pc very easy, but this app might work as well https://github.com/RohitVerma882/Heimdoo

If we could use official LOS recovery would be much easier, twrp might be a bit complicated and confusing at first. Internal memory procedure wipe for s7 is same as installing any other custom rom for other device afaik. Talking fron experience and had to just wing it myself too. @Ivan_Meler

Just some advice from the top of my head. Just have to know what to wipe in twrp otherwise flash recovery with heimdall, wipe internal memory, sideload the los rom from twrp. I suggest looking up what exactly to wipe in twrp, as i said i just said what i remember myself. If you have 2 android devices you can use heimdall app to send commands from the app to galaxy s7 via usb otg connection. Sidenote: I also use adb otg, bugjaeger for additional pc-less adb operations, i also use shizuku to do commands on the device itself when i dont send commands from one device to another, like uninstalling apps. For example: from galaxy a52s (connect usb otg adapter to a52s + usb type a part [the usb connector that goes into charger for example] and the small type c/microusb connector into s7 and then you enter commands from a52s and the app will send them to s7. Quite versatile connector, that type c.

I just wanted to give some feedback, LTE/4G is working now - I don't know what was so wrong during the first installation, flashing the ROM again after a full wipe did the job.

Unfortunately the voice call quality didn't improve. I fear that I have to return to the stock ROM :-(

I know this is out of scope in this thread but is there some guide/tutorial how to castrate the stock ROM as much as possible (I don't need any google apps nor the playstore) - and what could be the reason for the extreme battery-drain I faced?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Devolix:
Yea, regarding to the voice issues, sadly Stock is the only solution yet. I tried to figure any other factors like different hardware and drivers but it seems like it's independent. Some has it, some not. My guess is more like, everyone has it, but some not noticing it.

Will be hard, since afaik you cannot remove the google services without further hard work (that gives non-developer a lot of headache.) Not met any like NTLite for android, that would be epic awesome. Although you can remove a lot of stock apps with help from third party tools.

I can recommend for example: MyPhoneExplorer

As alternative for Google Play Store there are for example: AuroraStore, FDroid.

The battery-drain has some big factors I can tell instant already:

1. Google services and all their - in fact - spyware, drains the most. LOS is the only what helps here.

2. WLAN, Roaming and GPS functions drain much from any devices, even more in modern times and when you travel.

3. Browser/Player needs more, because they require modern hardware standards what would accelerate things a lot.

4. When you install a lot of apps from store, the chance is high you get any malicious side-by-software that drains.

5. Old phone, old battery. There are newer ones you order from online shops, that should help either.

In the end, my personal tip: When I don't need the phone right now; I'm turning it off.

To keep available via phone, the easy way. There are phones without Android, for very cheap price. ;)

What about floyd custom rom basd on oneui? It is safe to remove google play services and google services framework, anything regarding telemetry such as android.oss, knox analytics uploader, hiya, rubin.app (customization service, not enabled by default tho...afaik) tested myself. just dont remove com.google.android.geotz, framework and stuff like that it could brick the phone and only way to restore it is odin firmware flash, lucky if it works or factory reset. when you first install stock rom DO NOT connect to the internet, becuse it will start downloading all kinds of junk. immedieately start debloating it via xda adb debloater gui. and replacing the battery is very tricky as you have to pry the screen off to get to the battery which is complicated cuz the screen is fragile and you have to be very careful, most likely if you dont have experience with such phones that need screen removal to get to the battery you are going to break the screen and new screens cost a fortune, as much as a new phone. is galaxy s7 really your main phone? btw i use my s7 exactly because it has very gooe call quality. no problems on my side, neither anyone on the phone has said that there is echo or bad quality. have you tried an older version of LOS? like 18.1 or 19.1? on 18.1 more custom magisk modules are supported, to improve battery life but standby battery life is plenty for me, like 5 days or so, original battery. but as soon as i start using it for web and newpipe youtube it drains fast.

Thanks Ivan great rom! I have a g930f But when I boot the phone with an sd card in it it says it has a problem and needs to be formated, i found that ejecting the sd slot and putting it back in fixes that problem, but it does it again if i restart the phone. Could you please look if you could fix this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
Is it maybe possible, that your SDcard is formatted with a filessystem, what cannot be read correctly by your Samsung Galaxy S7?

So, to test that, save all the files from the SDcard to your PC or with OTA cabel onto an USB stick, and then let the smartphone format the SDcard.

This in the regular should work.

If not, maybe the SCcard is damaged, especially when she is very old.

So, if formatting the SDcard with your smartphone does not help, better get a new (and very fast!) SDcard, let the S7 format it, this then should work.

If also not, it then can be at the end of the day, that the SDcard slot in your S7 is dirty or damaged...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] SpinStudios:
Thanks for your quick response! I tried formating it with the phone but same result. But you're probably right about it being old tho it didn't have this issue when putting it inside my galaxy s4 advance also with los 21. I probably found it when examining phones i got from supermarket electronic bin haha (got both galaxys from the bin and restored them). It's a 32 gb Netac v10 but i dont know if these are good. I also tried another smaller sd card i have but it doesnt seem to have this problem so maybe its the Netac acting weird with this particular phone and not the slot itself or the rom (i hope). Do you know in which format i should format it in windows? I will try buying a Samsung one.
