[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] XceS01:
Dear Dev,

Some feedback from usage so far, working with a SM-G930F (herolte), coming from Stock to this ROM

- No Root or SU

- Started with NikGapps-core-arm64-13-20231107-signed

- The Argenta App is still having fingerprint issues, works for all other apps on this ROM and worked on stock ROM.

See this thread, apparently it's recently been fixed in a nightly build: https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/3673

- The Payconiq App immediately throws a "Won't work on Custom ROM" error on opening, refusing to let one use the app.

- The ITSME ID App won't work anymore after walking the Magisk & SafetyNetFix path to try and resolve the Payconiq App mentioned above.

- The Swish Payment App in combination with the BankID App is still in testing phase.

I presume that it is the "Signature Spoofing" that should allow these Apps to work ?

Would be Awesome if these Apps would work natively. Is there a Patch or Workaround available that has all of them working ?

- The default Camera App often freezes, locks up the whole system, stutters when moving, does not respond and have to force close the app. Cannot change the flash setting sometimes, it's stuck on Auto and is grayed out. After a reboot it functions properly again for a while.

- Also noticed that for some reason the Bluetooth range has gone from 10 meters to 3/4 meters ?

Always put my bluetooth speaker in the same spot, and with stock rom could walk around the house without any interruptions in playback, but with this ROM it starts to drop after a couple of meters and then disconnects.

And also noticed that the auto-resume playback on bluetooth connection doesn't seem to be triggered as it was on Stock ROM. (Now always have to grab the phone to click on Play, instead of it playing automatically when a Bluetooth Audio device is connected)

- General LineageOS issue i think: Cannot add an Exchange Account at all anymore. Had to install the "Blue Mail" App in order to be able to add an Exchange Account

Location Issues: Anything using Location such as a Weather & Clock app or just the Camera with Geolocation Tags doesn't work at all.

> Tried 2 more fresh installs, one with NikGapps-basic-arm64-13-20231107-signed, the next with NikGapps-stock-arm64-13-20231107-signed. All above mentioned Issues remain.

>> This thread talks about it, fixing it should just be Flashing the right Gapps Package. Installing this Package after cleaning the system and re-flashing the ROM was challenging, MindTheGapps would keep throwing Error 1 in TWRP and could not mount /mnt/system/. Followed this thread to Install Lineage Recovery first (extract ROM zip and used TWRP to flash the recovery.img) and used this to wipe the phone, clean install the ROM + MindTheGapps:

Location Issues are resolved

* Restarting the testing, will update this thread + any solutions I find.

> A few days later:

- Location Issues are indeed resolved

- Autoplay audio on bluetooth connection now works

- All other mentioned issues remain.

- The bluetooth audio experience that is exceptionally bad really is a thing to note. Even with 20cm away from the speaker it tends to crackle and stutter. Range is still significantly reduced to Stock

- WiFi often doesn't find a connection, although the antenna is a meter away. It often finds it after restarting the phone.

- The Camera regularly stutters and just freezes. No matter if it's from the Camera App itself, or anything that uses the camera like a QR scanner or whatsapp, also doesnt seem to have the option to save to SD card instead of internal storage

- System.UI regularly freezes and crashes. Phone unresponsive to any input.

- Accessing the Camera in general from anywhere has the system freezing up and Apps crashing

Summary:

OS not yet useable for daily driving on 1/1/2024

Stepping down to LineageOS 19 and giving that a try. (usage Post here)

Keep up the good work !

Kind regards
