@Fevax I'm curious: why are the packages for our S7 Edge so much bigger than other LineageOS versions (I use other Samsung devices where the packages are about 380 MB big)? And is there any progress on the WiFi stability? Thanks for your work!

Edit: forget the WiFi question - with today's build (20170124) I finally can have Mobile data AND WiFi turned on at the same time!

Are you comparing 32bit lineage OS builds to our 64 bit builds?

On the download page, you can choose between G930 (flat S7) and G935 (S7 Edge) variants of the firmware.

There's also a thread for this rom on the G930 forum.

Thx for the nooby question, I am new to the S7 I were a dev on the s3 neo community, so I am learning about the s7

In regards to the crackling stuttering sound, I've noticed that it happens for me with TuneIn under some circumstances and that TuneIn for some reason does not uses AudioFX to process the muaic/sound. Also choosing a higher quality stream increases the chance for stuttering. Not sure if it has any influence etc on the bug itself, just trying to help out getting the issue solved ?

Also screen rotating is only working sometimes in some apps. For instance can't turn screen in play store, but camera works fine.

Other than that the rom is fast and great, really improved a lot compared to some weeks ago so great work to the devs!

Fingerprint reader not working on the 27th build. Anyone else experiencing the same?

Same here the fingerprint stuff is completely gone from within the settings app.

Also the hardware buttons vibrate when the phone is off and screen rotation is not working properly when auto screen brightness has been disabled.

    I never say this is daily driver, in fact on thread says this is a WIP and yes, some features are working great, but other "seems to work" (not tested or with small problems)
    You can use as daily driver if you want, but it's not my business...
    So, for me the best title for my project is BETA, we are not on that early phase, but we are far from a 100% stable build, I'm sorry if you don't like this, but I can't lie, I hate to say "this works" when I know it's failing inside...
    We have a good project and good people working all the time we have, it's just about time to get a more mature state
    (and yes, this and RR are the same, so...)
