There are many apps that can detect a rooted device or a device that has a custom ROM, e.g. banking apps or those used in corporate networks (because of data security, obviously). I remember that the creator of Magisk had decided to no longer offer mechanisms in Magisk that try hiding it, because it was getting more and more complicated. Hopefully, my recollection is correct and I phrase it correctly, too. With that said, there are many things by which apps can recognise a system that is not "stock". But all this has nothing to do with the S7 or Ivan's ROM. There are other threads on the XDAforums covering all these topics. 😉
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Devolix:
Here this still works, latest version, can help to avoid detection:

Ah I forgot to answer that part:

Discord is a messenger like from old times ICQ, MSN, with abilities for Voice and Video (group) calls like Skype, and whole mini-forum (similar IRC but more modern und useful) and customizing features. You can create "server" (mini-forum) for free and easy to use. An Invite-link is just an URL to join one of these created servers. It kinda replaces small forums or supports them with more easy in some scenarios.

On the XDA-Discord-Server you will find same recognized people like from this original forum and much more. You can live-chat with people in channels or even message private. There you can just ask about specific topics relate to whole XDA. Depending on it can be more active, private or simply easier to talk there than in a forum.

Interesting bonus is: Discord runs like on every device/system you can think of, so obviously including android and even webpage (so it does not requires install). Myself using it on my phone and webpage to grant even more features like browser scripts. Can absolute recommending it.

Has anyone one had success with speech dictation with LineageOS 21 or with a Samsung Galaxy S7 (herolte) and any custom ROM?

I have flashed my Samsung Galaxy S7 (herolte) SM-G930W8 32GB with LineageOS 21. The phone works fine for most part. I installed Whatsapp and found that the speech to text dictation function does not work. This worked with my low end Moto G7 Play with stock Android 10.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] dan54140:
Hello and thank you Yvan for your work

I confirm voice dictation (the microphone in the keyboard) in the applications "message, map, playstore....." does not work
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
No. Mine works properly.

Yours maybe needs two weeks of vacation on Oahu, Hawaii.

;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
Thank you.

But I do not worry much about that. I do not use any banking on my mobile units, also do no payment actions, f.e. by orders, and also do not use PayPal or things like this.

No money matters on mobile units, because all mobiles are unsafe.

Therefore I also do not use *Gapps on my smartphones and tablets, because then I would have Google Pay on them, and this I also do not use.

All money matters I do only on a special Linux notebook, what is just used only for that.

Safety first. Always. Everywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
Well, beeing honest: I do not need root or Magisk. If I would still use a StockROM; Magisk could help to get the bloatware away. But Ivan's LOS 21 has none, so no need for root or Magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
I had the same problem within LOS.

So I installed GBoard from Google (via Aurora), configured it, and now speech dictation also runs fine in Whatsapp and other apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
Thank you, @Devolix

But I am active in X and Whatsapp. Thats enough messengers. Cannot sit the whole day behind a screen, does not matter, if PC, Notebook or Smartphone/Tablet.

So, limitation of online activities is the best way always.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
Use an other keyboard app. I installed Googles GBoard (via Aurora). That works fine also with speech dictation.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] MrToast21:
Hey. I don't know if this is normal behavior for this newer version or not, but the phone can't boot into recovery by itself (e.i. update, advanced reboot to recovery), and can only boot into it by holding down the key combination. I was pretty scared when I tried updating it because I thought the device was bricked (it was stuck on the boot screen), but when I tried going into recovery with the key combo, it booted into it and updated like nothing unusual had happened.

Also, just wanted to say this rom is great!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Tentoes:
Thanks for the heads up @netra3441 , GBoard works well for dictation in Whatsapp.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Davrido:
Thank you for the release! Everything I've tried in this ROM works great, even the Hey Google option is turnable, but only after installing the full version of the Gapps. The full version quite brokes the fluidity of the system for me, some options that were in the system before seems missing (for example the option of new gestures replacing physical buttons), but nothing dealbreaking...

So how much worse is camera compared to stock original from samsung rom? Is there any gcam that really works? Does pulse oximeter is working properly in modded Samsung Health or it doesn't need a mod?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Devolix:
It already improved some way, but variate from build to build (I guess duo LOS source-drivers). I can recommend using OpenCamera App and activate NoiseReduction Filter (plus high quality Settings in all modes ofcs) that makes it usable for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Devolix:
Probably that then, yea. Me either. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Cmdr Data:
Hello,

the ROM is really great, everything seems to work, I love it, thank you very much for your work!

One question I have though: My own voice messages on WhatsApp are quite quiet, is there any way to increase the sensitivity of the microphone? Maybe by patching a config file?

Regards
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Devolix:
I just read here day ago: Installing GBoard (alternative virtual keyboard with own microphone stuff etc) that should work better, people said. Not tested my own yet. Also not sure if it also effect Voice-Calls.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
@Devolix @Cmdr Data

That is it in fact. I am not a Google friend, but the GBoard from Google Play Store works fine also if someone does not use *Gapps. It allows a loud voice message in Whatsapp and all other apps, and it also allows a good dictation of texts. But: hold the smartphone near to the mouth to get a good understandable voice recording.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
Same here, Open Camera is working fine and makes good photos and videos.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ilpup:
I confirm, by video calls the mic doesn't record the voice, or better to say, the mic gain seems to low / remain the same as during normal calls with the phone attached to your ear.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] dav01it:
I got sdcard working as internal.

You have to enter in adb she'll

Gain root access

Start from the phone the initialize as internal procedure.

When it is about 40%

Start this program with root enabled:

tune2fs -O ^project /dev/block/dm-0

To understand WHEN to fire enter

write only up to "/dev/block/d" the url and push the "TAB" key to auto completion

When the file is created you can fire enter.

There is a bug while creating ext4fs that enables an unsupported feature and tune2fs is used to disable it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Devolix:
That sounds pretty wild. I'm crazy enough to test it (have backups anyway). :)

Jjust to make sure to get the right instructions:

- tune2fs is a linux program, so need to installed that package beside adb?

- so first adb shell (I guess while phone is in normal download-mode?)

- what you mean by "internal procedure?"

- so when whatever started and is at 40 need to format then?

- what file exactly?

And: You sure stuff works normal then, already tested?

As I understood its simply unsupported by the LOS build, so stuff could get fail.

As I remember, while ago I had sd working as internal I formated the sd card before I put in the phone.

But these code lines especially /block/ I never have seen before..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] dav01it:
tune2fs is luckily in the rom You don't need to install anything.

Start the phone as normal,

Go to storage settings, select SD card and initialize it as "INTERNAL"

you be warned it will erase ad card of course.

When you are at this point you have already connected the phone with your PC and started

adb shell
su

and wait to fire this last one command ONLY when the partition is created... (and you know it when the tab key completion for /dev/block/dm-0 works)

tune2fs -O ^project /dev/block/dm-0

The trick works because you remove the unsupported flag from newly created ext4 filesystem just before the OS tries to mount it.

I'm using is flawlessly moved apps in the SD without problems, restarted and all works as normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Biosy.Baris:
You are not using the newest version of Magisk. MagiskHide is deprecated. They dropped MagiskHide just to introduce Zygisk which is much more reliable and will get you a possitive SafetyNet authentication. You can use DRM streaming services like Netflix and mostly every banking app, even GPay.

I'm sorry, but that doesn't make sense. You have no Google on your phone and try to convince others to use Aurora and F-Droid.

One of the most sensible part of you smartphone is the keyboard. It grabs every word you write, in your case even your voice. The GBoard is the Google Board. Do you really think Google isn't willing to fetch your data? I really think that data might be most important to them.

EDIT:

Sayboard | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

An open-source on-device voice IME (keyboard) for Android using the Vosk library

f-droid.org

Try this instead. I have no to less experience with speech-to-text keyboards and apps. As a GPS I use OSMAnd with a speech plugin to tell me when to make a u-turn, u know :)

@Biosy.Baris

Yes, I have no Google System Framework (GSF) on my phone, so no Google Pay, and none of the Google spyware techniques, wich are installed by the GSF on phones, wich have, f.e. *Gapps installed..

And yes, I use GBoard, because it works, I also use, f.e., Google Translator, because it works.

But by using just these Google apps there is no Google spyware on my smartphone. There are Google apps, wich need the GSF, and just then, when GSF is installed, then Google can spy.

But, beeing honest: I am just an old wheely 🦽 so I am sure, that Google definetely is not interested in me... ;)

Sayboard looks nice, I read the information in FDroid. Thanks for your hint! (y)

But I live in Germany, so I dont believe, that this app works well with the german language, so I will stay with GBoard.

✌️
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Devolix:
Not tested the app, so can't speak for it, but for translate in general I can highly recommend DeepL. Much better translation than Google Crap: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deepl.mobiletranslator
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Biosy.Baris:
I live in Germany too. Also, mach dir bitte keine Sorgen :)

The Sayboard has translations for German. Its using speech modules which are known and tested.

Google can spy via every app. They dont need the GSF. Even on Lineage OS without GApps Google gets plenty of information. Thats their business.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
Yupp... thanks for that suggestion, I will check that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
Ja mei, ah no son an Deitscha, ned! :)

Thank you for the hints, I will give that a try now, because when you as a damn Kraut (like me ) ;) tell, that Sayboard works, then I give it a try.

Because, beeing honest, myself I was really not so much convinced about, that the Google apps really do not spy... just the hope was the father of the thought...

And if there is better apps, and work good with german language, then I give them a try, and then the Google can go home.

It's one dax possible to integrate Volte and Wifi calling into rom? Because they shutdown the 3g network....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Biosy.Baris:
For a couple of days i got wifi problems. it started a few days after i split 2,4ghz and 5ghz wifi and made the latter one hidden.

Same pattern: search for wifi, find, connect, disconnect, and so on. Every 5 to 10 seconds.

I made the 5ghz visible again, but that didn't solve the problem. My LG OLED connects to the 2,4ghz wifi if i not split... not enough for 4k Bluray Remuxes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
Dont hide the Wifi (WLAN). Because this is nothing, a hacker would been stopped by. Much more important are very long and difficult WLAN passwords, so that they cannot be guessed. And: if you have guests, activate guest account in your router, and just give this to the guests, never your main account. And use different difficult passwords for your main and your guest accounts in the router.

I own a AVM Fritzbox 7590AX Router. In this you can give priority to LAN and WLAN devices. This helps, all my mobiles run as prior. Check, if your router allows this too. And my Fritzbox also allows main account and guest account.

Why do you run a Smart TV with Wifi (WLAN)? All devices with large network usage must be on LAN. So, I use a Telekom Magenta TV receiver for watching TV and recording. This runs with LAN, and also as a prior.

If I would own a Smart TV, I also would run this only in LAN.

This, because a Wifi (WLAN) is always 50-60% slower as a LAN. Do not believe, what the manufacturers or providers else say. Wifi (WLAN) is always slower than LAN. Period.

Full (internet) speed to watch 4k blueray movies you only have with LAN, same, when you get that movie f.e. from a server in your home. This srver also must be reun only in LAN.

So, you have to put cables into your home. My apartment is completely set with LAN cable.

Because Wifi (WLAN) is usable just for mobile units, so Smartphones, iPhones, Tablets, iPads. But nothing more. Also a notebook, I own, only runs with LAN.

Any other Wifi (WLAN) usage makes no sense.

@Devolix

I tried DeepL. But it translates only 1.500 signs, they want you to be registered for more, and then they bother you with payment. Nearly all ratings in Google Play Store are negative, and DeepL includes also trackers.

Google translator is costless, and makes 5.000 signs at once. That is enough for me. So, I stay with Google translator.

🤷🏻‍♂️

@Biosy.Baris

Sayboard is a voice keyboard, you only can give voice commands with it in lot of apps. That is a very nice (!) feature, but that I dont need. I need a real screen keyboard to type in, what has, additional, a voice-to-text function.

So, Sayboard is a very nice (!) idea for those, who want to do all with voice commands, but this is not mine. I prefer writing, so I stay with GBoard.

Thanks a lot, guys 👍🏼✌🏼

But tastes differ. 😉 🤷🏻‍♂️
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Devolix:
@Biosy.Baris While ago I read about that hiding is a security break. Can't recall details (something about that the password is with sent within etc) but the network is more secure if the SSID is shown. If you worry about people know your WiFi, I would try harmless names these contradict that the owner has no idea (so it appears as not yours) or similar names than your neighbors or level 3 paranoid: Call it the default name of other router models: So if you own a Telekom-Model, call the WiFi "Fritzbox" and so on.

but as @netra3441 already stated, I would stuck to wire as much as possible for several good reasons.

Damn. That is unfortunate.

Was already thinking, the App is probably too good to exist. I only know the sign limitation from the web-form at once session, but there you simply can split the text and translate block by block. Or if the site tells about general limit reached - a new isolated tab/new IP solves it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Biosy.Baris:
yeah, i manage networks since '98. BNC my friend, 10baseT.

It wasn't the fault of the rom. I disabled captive portal login check form google servers and forgot to pass another cpl server.

Wifi is always slower than LAN. Why? If you got an 100Mbit RJ45 Ethernet-Port on your TV, but 5GHz Wifi gives you up to 800Mbit.

LG OLED TVs only got 100Mbit Ports... like most of the Smart TVs. It's even worse... the TV only has USB2 Ports, so a USB-to-Ethernet adapter will give no benefit.

2160p DoVi BluRay Remuxes can be up to 100GB and more.

Never say never and never say alway if u don't know the use case. In the early 2000s i used to drill holes in the walls to put the LAN cables through. Today only my PC and home server are on LAN cables.

This will be the last time i respond to a post. It's not fair to spam Ivan Meler's thread with noobish things... i'm gone

Yes, this is your best idea so far (y)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
DeepL might be a good app for paying and registered professional users, f.e. for accredited translators, but not for the need of a private person.

Google translator runs without Google Systems Framework very good in LineageOS 21, it allows 5.000 signs, and this is good enough for me.

I have a problem with the German ausweisapp.

The NFC-Test for the Handy Galaxy S7 SM-G930F is O.K.

but transferring Data from my Personal Identity card is interrupted with the comand Workflow_Card_Removed

Reason :

Did_Authenticate_Eac2_Card_Command_Failed

The Extended Lenght Communication shoud be at least 400 bites actual shows the file

/vendor/etc/libnfc-sec-vendor.conf at the end

# Extended APDU length for ISO_DEP. If not supported default length is 261.

# CHECK in VTS Test case

# ISO_DEP_MAX_TRANSCEIVE=xFEFF

ISO_DEP_MAX_TRANSCEIVE=261

I tried to change to

# Extended APDU length for ISO_DEP.

# CHECK in VTS Test case

# ISO_DEP_MAX_TRANSCEIVE=xFEFF

ISO_DEP_MAX_TRANSCEIVE=500

but no success.

Is the NFC Signal in lineageOS 14 not strong enough ?

So since over 25 years you think bandwidth equals speed? Or you working for a provider and it is what you sell the customers? Not Even 4K Netflix-Streams exceeds 50Mbps in 2022. Now we have AV1, who using pseudo-quality lossless anymore anyway? You are choosing the wrong priorities at every point.

What exactly you winning with theoretical maximal 800MBit? Websites will not load faster neither your streams will looking better. But all the radio mess will lower the latency, causing spike-laggs, and roast your brain even more. Also: A TV with WiFi but no Ehternet-Port? - I don't think so either...

Yea. That is main thing after all. I'm rarely using a translator my own (even rarer on phone), if so, then for single English words or whole websites in exotic foreign languages, what I do on desktop then. Do you need translation in more further environment/requirement? I heard of some good TTS-Translators and language-learning Apps. Babbel for learning, just can't recall the TTS one for now tho.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
Well... the translator in the regular I use, when I am lazy ;)

I have relatives in the USA and friends in other countries, so talking in English is lifetime daily business for me, because there is often daily contact with them mostly thru Whatsapp, sometimes by voice calls also.

I use a translator in the most, when I have longer german language texts to translate to my relatives and friends into English.

Google translator runs in LineageOS 21 (and other versions) very good - also if one does not use "*Gapps", like me.

Beside that I use the dictionary app "dict.cc" from Paul Hermetsberger, wich is available in Google Play Store, and also runs in LineageOS 21 (and other versions) without the GSF.
