I want to update from Lineage 17.1

I want to keep my apps and data

Can I flash this ROM without wiping data ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Oudoum:
From me a big thanks to Ivan too, but I have exactly the same issues.

The battery drain is very huge. While watching YouTube it is like 0.5% per minute.

The App crashes are really weird, sometimes they crash permanent sometimes they dont and after a few restart is working again.

Contacts importing wont work because of missing rights, somebody knows how to fix that?

And sadly while making a phone call the called person is hearing a hugh echo.

Keep in mind, to go back to Lineagos 19.1 you have to wipe all data or you will enter a boot loop.

I know this, but the mentioned apps are running on a Pixel 6 with Android 13 without problems. So I think it's a ROM issue.

Well, alltogether and @Ivan_Meler

the good news is, that LOS 20 runs now on my second (testing) Samsung Galaxy S7 via TWRP 3.7.0 and together with NikGAPPS 13.

Great job, @Ivan_Meler ! 👍🏼 I really appreciate you!!!

But there are bad news too, someone had mentioned it here in this thread before: LOS 20 does not accept sd-card to be formatted as internal space.

If I try this, the formatting app crashes and vanishes into a complete white screen.

One reason can be, that maybe this sd-card, I use in the second S7, is very old, has maybe some ditches, so maybe does not work properly.

So I will order a new one, and will try it with this.

But if formatting as internal does not work with that new sd-card too, myself I could not use LOS 13 on my main S7, because there and with LOS 19.1 this works properly, and I need that function really, because that internal space of the S7 is just 32GB, what is very low.

One wrote, that allegedly Google had taken out that formatting of an sd-card into internal space from Android 13. Beeing honest, I cannot believe this, because Google is a lot, but not so stupid.

So, please, @Ivan_Meler could you maybe fix that problem with sd-cards beeing not formatted as internal space in LOS 20 for the S7?

I know about your time problems, and so I really would appreciate it, if you could say something about that.

Greetings to all,

New build is up that should address some discrepancies from previous build (like missing color choice when changing wallpaper)

- Added back some features that were missing from QPR1

- Misc performance and stability improvements

- Synced with LineageOS source

Big thanks to everyone who supported this project, helped cover the build server cost and got me coffee, this project wouldnt be possible without them.

Enjoy new builds and stay safe

Thank you very much, @Ivan_Meler

I must install this Update thru TWRP, because inside the actually installed LOS 20 on my second Samsung S7 the Updater crashes, does not work at all, just a dark grey window is visible.

I regret really, that I am not a programer, and therefore cannot assist you or help in other way.

But actually the LOS 20 has, as it seems here on my second S7, very much problems, I am sorry to say so.

So, I guess, it was a good idea, to get a second S7 to be able to test, before install on my main S7, because I really need that daily because of my disabilities.

Thanks a lot for your great efforts, Ivan, I really appreciate that, and I hope, I will be able in the next time to send you a gratification.

Hm try clearing updaters data, ive tested otas on my device locally and that worked fine (i test all builds before releasing them just to make sure there arent any weird situations ehere people would end up bricked from ota) but some addon packages can cause issues and i unfortunately cant test how all of them might affect updater or update process
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
Hi @Ivan_Meler

I have reinstalled your LOS 20 upgrade, had worked with TWRP.

But the errors are the same, I cannot use an SD-Card with.

LOS 20 crashes, when I try to format the SD-Card, either as internal, or as normal.

After the crash a white screen appears, and after a few minutes the S7 reboots.

So, I formatted the SD-Card in TWRP, what had worked without any errors, so that the SD-Card-Slot seems to work properly.

Then I started the S7, and tried SD-Card again, but LOS 20 does not recognize it at all.

Also I can take out the SD-Card physically form the slot, LOS 20 does not recognize that also.

All that does not happen in LOS 19.1, I had tried that on my main S7, no problems.

So, I have ordered a new and fast Sandisk 128 GB SD-Card to be used in the second S7, and I will try to format that, when I have it, and tell you, if that works or not.

I am sorry, but I dont think, that the SD-Card is the problem, because it was formatted well under Linux on my PC, and also with TWRP in the second S7. So this seems to be a large bug in LOS 20... I am sorry to say so!

ADDENDUM:

After having taken out the SD-Card from the S7, I tried in TWRP to format it. TWRP says, no SD-Card. So the slot is working properly.

LOS 20 itself does not recognize the SD-Card slot correctly, either a SD-Card is in, or out.

SECOND ADDENDUM:

Just for testing I have installed LOS 19.1 with NikGAPPS 12 onto the second S7.

The formatting of the SD-Card into internal space works properly.

All other functions work properly too, as same as with my main S7.

So, my hardware (the second S7) is not the reason for the problems with LOS 20.

I really hope, that these informations may help you, @Ivan_Meler to figure out, what the problems with LOS 20 are.

Thanks in advance for your efforts!!!

Greetings

Is the hardware of the S7 not capable for supporting the night light mode?

I noticed that night light is really great for the eyes when looking at the display, this function is present on my sony and my new samsung a33 model, only on the S7 it is not.

Why is that? Have you considered adding this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] meesam3379:
S7 does support

Not a lineageOS feature i assume

Its there in PE

Night light is available and functional. Go to settings, search for "night". The tile is also there. Click the pen and add the tile.

In former LOS it was called "LiveDisplay"...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Privacydroid:
no results when searching for "blue light".

live display is a thing but it's not night light.

live display has a set of color profiles, it also has reading mode that will make everything grey.

when i use the drop-down-menu on the phone i can edit what setting are visible and what not, night light is nowhere to be found, that's only on the S7, on the A33 and the Sony i find it in the drop-down-menu and in settings.

I also checked:

> Settings > System > Status-Bar > System Icons > "Night Light"

Nowhere to be found.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] rho-bot:
I think it's a bug on your A33, having a NightLight switch...

LOS replaced AOSP NightLight with LiveDisplay, see https://www.xda-developers.com/lineageos-adding-livedisplay-quick-settings-tile/

It includes the basic ability of NightLight to change color temperature (aka reduction of blue light at nighttime).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Privacydroid:
I don't think it's a bug, it's not only the A33 but also the Sony.

Night Light is a good feature and it is missing on the S7.

Replacing nightlight with livedisplay would be a mistake. Livedisplay has a color calibration setting for red, green and blue (RGB) and i have no idea what i'm doing here, pressing a single switch for nightlight is much better for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Privacydroid:
Sir @Ivan_Meler know anything about this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] rho-bot:

LiveDisplay also has its own Quicksetting tile, where you can switch modes (day/night/auto...)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] XceS01:
Well, I figured out that our Identity and Banking Apps use something called "SafetyNet", which is a google feature that tells an App using it whether you are using a custom rom or are rooted.

In this posting there seems to be a way to silence this feature for particular Apps.

Yet to try it out, first have to do a full backup, install TWRP, new LineageOS and give this a go.

I really hope I don't have to revert back to Stock Rom.

Hi, first thanks for your work on keeping this device alive.

I'm still on 19.1 currently, which works alright for me. I've recently found out that it does not support wireguard from the kernel (Installed the app from https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.wireguard.android/ to check, should say "kernel" instead of "userspace"):

So my question is: Does this new release' kernel have wireguard enabled? If not, is it a planned feature? This would greatly benefit performance & battery life as far as I read.

Thanks :)

Echoes only seem to occur on some devices (possibly depending on factors such as hardware or provider, but no one seems to have been able to narrow this down yet). I think you can only find out by trying the current rom yourself. In my case, unfortunately, there were echos that were not acceptable for my phone call partners, which is why I continue to use LOS 16. Fortunately, Exodusnick still includes occasional security updates in his builds based on LineageOS 16.0 with microG, so at least the security risk is addressed.

Hi Forum,

first of all a Happy New Year to all of you! 🌻

Many thanks to @Ivan_Meler for your tireless good work and efforts!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

May I ask, whether the usage of SD-Cards works now in your LOS 20?

✌🏼🙋🏻‍♂️🙂🖖🏼
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] eta76:
First post, so be gentle. Today did my first android upgrade. Using this forums information. Unfortunately using the Lineage OS 20 I had a lot of problems, probably network problems. Although 4G did not give better results. I now upgraded the Oreo to Lineage OS 19.1 and all seems a lot more stable.

I read about wifi problems on some S7's, but I expected this to be in any LineageOS version, but it seams Android 12 is working better than the 13 :-)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
Well, very interesting to read.

Myself I suspect too, that Android 13 is a lot more buggy, than Android 12.

I own two Samsung Galaxy S7, one in daily usage with Android 12 (LineageOS 19.1), and the other one just for tests with those roms. Until now in the Android 13 (LineageOS 20) the SD-cards cannot be used, neither as formatted movable, nor as formatted internal.

Honestly, I feel very sorry with all the maintainers, who have to fight with this bunch of bugs in Android 13. Let us all hope, that Android 14 will be better...

Good luck to you guys all, and thank you very much for your efforts!

After giving up on Lineage OS 19.1, I intended to install 17.1, to try and have a more stable Watch Active2 Plugin connection.... But I ended up (almost) bricking the S7.

I think I also deleted the recovery partition,when whiping all data. And also wiping the new image on the internal storage. When shutting down the phone, TWRK did not manage to start anymore.

I found some youtube about fastboot.exe, but did not manage to get same results as in there example..

Finally I downloaded Freija and then managed to download the Dutch firmware. for the 930F. I download the single zip, and extracted the .md5 files. I tried uploading all of them using ODIN, but it did not work.

Then I uploaded only the AP_... file, and I noticed the boot. recovery, OS partitions all got uploaded at once. After a powerdown, I managed to get the stock android 8.0 restored.

Hello Forum,

Hello @Ivan_Meler

may I ask you all onetime more, if the problem with SDcards in LOS 20.0 is now solved?

Actually on my two S7 phones the usage of SDcards in LOS 20.0 does not work, not as formatted removable, and not as formatted internal.

In LOS 19.1 that both works properly on my S7 phones.

So, I assume, its a technical problem inside LOS 20.0, and therefore I ask again, if this is solved now in LOS 20.0, or not.

Please give me a reply about this.

Thank you all in advance! :)🖖

Wish you all a nice weekend!
