Out of curiosity: It is a license problem (illegal to make it possible), or technical problem?

Photos looking pretty good. Much better than mine current with OpenCameraApp. (y)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sam_ID:
Technical, you need Samsung Stock ROM to properly run Samsung Stock Camera...

That's why only Samsung's based Custom ROM like FloydQ (One UI 2.5) can run Samsung Camera (and even that not 100% identical to the Stock Oreo Camera, if I'm not mistaken)...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] handynoobinator:
You need libraries from the samsung stock rom, it is possible to port the libraries to the camera app, but its not easy to do. Camera is subject of my post above: https://xdaforums.com/t/lineageos-2...a-updates-for-s7-exynos.4655853/post-89508309

Well, Telegram is not that secure, as the rumors say, it is more unsecure than, f.e. Whatsapp. Furthermore Telegram is in watch of Police authorities allover the world, because too much conspiracy idiots and other criminals are in there. Therefore much more I really do not understand, that LOS maintainers use this mess...

What is that with your camera? Do you have a very special need for making pictures with the S7? It is correct, that the StockROM camera app from Samsung is really the best, but for my needs the OpenCamera app using with LOS 21 is good enough.

Have heard some rumors, that maybe next week new update for LOS 21 will be, because it is said, that @Ivan_Meler hat fixed all problems, damn Google had caused in Android...

We will see...

Hi guys

This might not be the right place to ask this question but I'll try anyway

I ran into a series of issues with my S7 (SM-G930W8). Right now the situation is:

- Can't boot past download/recovery because of "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock"

- When I plug the phone into any computer (I tried 3 thus far), I get "A request for the USB device descriptor failed" and can't do anything in download mode

- This means that I'm stuck with stock recovery, AFAIK

I tried flashing LineageOS 21.0 from sdcard as a last resort, hoping that the "signature spoofing" would move things forward, but obviously it failed.

Question: is there ANYTHING I could flash from sdcard from stock recovery that could get me out of this mess?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Devolix:
Point of view. See here for example:

Ohne Staatstrojaner: Polizei und Geheimdienste können WhatsApp mitlesen

Immer mehr Behörden wollen IT-Geräte wie Smartphones hacken, um Messenger wie WhatsApp mitzulesen - dabei können sie das auch ohne Staatstrojaner. Das geht aus einem internen Papier des BKA hervor, das wir veröffentlichen. Die Große Koalition will Staatstrojaner trotzdem auf alle Geheimdienste...

@Devolix @albesch

Well... Telegram manufacturer sits in Emirate of Dubai. Dubai has one of the hardest, roughest and higly efficient Police and Intelligence services in the world.

Therefore Telegram is also widely open for all Police and Intelligence services in the world.

Because if Telegram would not let them, Dubai Police and Intelligence very very quickly would convince Telegram company owners to open Telegram...

So, Telegram is as same unsecure as all other messengers.

And: Police and Intelligence all over the world are not stupid and so would not tell the media if and how they can enter Messenger systems...

How much worse GCam is compared to stock camera app? Is it really noticable in terms of picture quality?

Does saving photos from camera apps on microSD card work on this rom?

Do sensors as pulsemeter and oximeter work properly on this LineageOS 21.0 build and are as accurate as they were on stock rom?

Do I need to install gapps for this rom to work properly witch gcam or this build in general?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sam_ID:
1. Compared to Samsung Stock Cam..?

I think the quality almost the same, the only downside of GCam is it needs proper setting & slow at taking pictures...

Compared to LineageOS Stock Cam..?

GCam so much better...

2. I don't know, but I can't find the settings...

Maybe it really can't save photos/videos on microSD card...

3. I don't know, though if I'm not mistaken, pulsemeter & oximeter doesn't work on this ROM...

4. No, GCam doesn't need Gapps to run properly...

But I use alternative (MicroG) to replace Gapps, as my daily phone usage dependent on GMS...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Shakhtar:

sorry for the late reply.

I did some tests in the meanwhile, my S7 loosing the wifi connection not only in my Wifi at home which is created by a Fritzbox 7590. I have the same behaviour with Wifi Network created by a Fritzbox 4060 and a Fritzbox 7490.

The S7 does not have a SIM Card inside, so Wifi or nothing ;-)

All tested Wifi Networks does not use WPA3, its WPA & WPA2 and it happend in all 3 Networks. Other devices like Samsung Galaxy S8 or Galaxy Tab S5e (both running LineageOS 21) does not show this Problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Devolix:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
@Devolix @S8_Phone_Fan

Well... that WiFi problem with the S7 is here too.

It looses the connection too. Long time I thought, that this is because of power saving, but it seems not. I run the S7 in a Wifi of an AVM Fritz!Box 7590AX, wich has the newest updates.

SIM card is in the S7, that works properly.

But when other Samsung units like S8 or tablet do not have that Wifi problem, it might be an issue of the S7...

Yeah, we really don't know the exact cause...

The only way we know the exact cause is to revert back to latest Samsung Stock Oreo, if the call or wifi work normally there, then it's software (this ROM), if not, than it's hardware problem...

I myself don't really use the regular S7 (I use S7 Edge, the dual-SIM hybrid/G935FD one), with microG & Magisk + Pixel's 3 build prop module installed...

With all of that, using Indonesian cellular network, both call & wifi works just fine...

💡

Well... after got some more informations, it seems, that Ivan is struggling with really serious technical problems, but only on the Samsung Galaxy S7, and only with LOS21.

Looks like, that with the S7 maybe a step back to LOS20 is a good idea - or buy an S8(+) or S9Note(+), because those have no problems, and Ivan has done the updates for them for the LOS21, they are all on Github.

I have to think over now, what to do now... stepping back to LOS20 or elder would be the cheapest solution for me (yes... my goose, wich was laying the golden eggs, has canceled her job here, thats a real a pity... ;))

Good luck to Ivan - and a very, very great, big, huge THANKS to him for all his efforts (y)😘

There are a lot of other chages and there will be June builds next week but i would recommand flashing builds provided in the meantime.

As always hige thanks to everyone who supported this project and helped cover the build server cost with donations.

There was delay of few month between these builds and last ones due to huge changes in QPR2 from google and lack of time i had to fix everything but here we finally are

18.1, 19.1 and 20 builds with June update are up on githubill upload them on mega and google drive some time next week, do note these builds are signed so they will hve to be manually flashed instead of being flashed thru ota, but thats just one time thing and next months build will be flashable thru ota again

Enjoy new builds and stay safe

Yesterday I installed the new rom after downloading the latest Image and copying the file from my computer to the galaxy s7 .

After booting in to twrp i install the rom and it seem to ok. After booting the new rom it reach the start screen to input the Pin but after a second it starts again and so on.

Bootloop.!!!!!!!!!!! I tested a second Galaxy s7 and the same. Twrp is the last Version.

Any Idea?

i had the same problem after dirty flashing the update on my s7, you must press the combo for booting recovery when it reboots and then wipe data, cache, system and flash it again complete clean. after that it works again.

ota update was not working, everytime i got an error message after downloading. and download via browser and flash it results on bootloop. but i flashed the previous version over lineage 20 maybe thats the problem.

Hello forum,

Now that I have completely clean reinstalled LOS 21 QPR2 from June 20th on my Samsung Galaxy S7, I am very impressed. I did that via TWRP (newest version) and I wiped all (exept sdcard) before installing.

My impression is that this LOS21 version of June runs much faster than its predecessor from February, and the display of websites and other things is also much faster, and I also feel that the battery consumption is much lower than before.

Overall, everything runs extremely smoothly, so the effort of doing a completely clean new installation and setting everything up again is definitely worth it.

WiFi and telephony also work well, telephony is without annoying noises, I can be understood very well, and I can also hear the people I'm talking to well. WiFi has far fewer dropouts than before.

To Ivan Meler:

First of all, thank you very much for that, Ivan!!! Very great job, really!

And: this very positive experience raises the expectation that QPR3 could be even better...

😉👍🤷‍♂️

You mean the echo problem is gone now? That would be indeed epical. Lets see what does the camera now either. Need to done some stuff before I will clean flash pretty soon, cant wait to see how its all, sounds already promising.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
@Devolix

Yes, no echo. All those, I had tested with (I called them, they called me) understand well, I too, no echo.

Camera works fine here. But I use the app OpenCamera (from FDroid!). This app uses Camera API2, and works fine.

I know, that you had camera issues. Maybe you have special needs with photography, but for me this is fine also.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Devolix:

Side question. Full backup with TWRP is indeed full 1:1 copy? Because I need to do some stuff that requires to changes very hard way, but after I want back to original state as before. TWRP/Recovery keeps untouched while. Swift-backup is a good thing, but not sure if it covers all, so was thinking about TWRP swap.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] carli_nero:
If you want to test a new image it is a good idea to make a whole backup with TWR and every time a single save of the data partition.

I installed the last Image from ivan a second time after deleting all partitions and after the new install i restore only the data partion.

Success!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] _benedict_:
Thank you @Ivan_Meler!!

Can someone explain what a clean flash is precisely? What should I format?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Ivan_Meler:
data, wiping it is enough tho
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
Well...

I do not trust any backup apps at all, not on my mobile devices, and not on my PCs and the notebook.

On all devices my user files are on extra partitions (PC and notebook) and on the mobiles I store my user files on SDcards.

And yes: installing Ivan's LOS21 QPR2 completely new and clean took time, a few hours to get it run and more for all my apps to run again.

Clean install means, that in TWRP I wipe everything exept oft my SDcard, restart, go back into TWRP and start installing the LOS.

And only the LOS. No messy *Gapps, no other stuff I dont need.

But I believe in, that also on mobiles a complete clean install is always the best to see, whether the LOS runs fine or not. Same with the apps.

I tried Neobackup before (before had installed Magisk). But Neobackup is very hard to understand, and I did not found an option to just copy back my before used apps.

So, for saving time (and not to squander hours with Neobackup-experiements) I installed also all apps completely clean and new.

Now LOS21 QPR2 runs great here.

Just when watching videos, f.e. in Instagram, it gets a little warm.

And for doing Tests I own a second Samsung Galaxy S7... when a new LOS runs fine there, then I can do a complete clean install on my daily S7...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ScanX:
Will this be fixed in next build (QPR3)?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Devolix:
Yea, me neither, but for Android seems a bit more complicated than just copy %appdata% subfolders sadly. I'm happy to found SwiftBackup, so I still can use WhatsApp without getting headache... (I don't have the SIM-Card I registered with before any more) all the others I simply can re-logging without problems, luckily.

Clean install is what I prefer the most either, but handling smartphones are hard. I wish it would be a more powerful one so I could use it in desktop-mode that would make stuff so much easier and faster...

Another thing: AuroaStore and Magisk, those make stuff already much easier, happy about to have that, too.

Same here. Smooth. (Except some apps I needed to reinstall but they probably issued with SwiftBackup or Magisk. Did with Aurora and fixed). Camera quality seems pretty same, will test the forks or its probably just my phone hardware.

However, I also can confirm here: The call-echo-bug is finally fixed! :)

I can confirm that one of my banking login apps (George klíč, of 'Česká spořitelna' bank) finally works after not working on any of Ivan's 19s, 20s, 21s LOS. (with just Magisk/Shamiko, it did work fine on LOS 18)

Otherwise I encountered settings app crashing when trying to set custom notification lights (but ultimately I was able to set it how I wanted it), and also accessibility/text-to-speech output menu still crashes as soon as it's opened.
