LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1.0) for S7 Edge build 53 18.20.2020.

[Oneofakind1967]

Flashed this yesterday over an old LineageOS 14.1. I can't connect to WiFi, now. Did I do something wrong?


EDIT: Flashed a newer ROM, so I don't need help on this now. However, I'd still like to know what caused it.

Error 7

Getting Error 7 every time I try to install this...

Any idea how to fix this other than deleting the asserts, that didn't work either.

Just looking for a solid "android 8.1"

 

[fabritrento]

this rom is valid also for SM-G930F ? (galaxy s7) ? the VoLTE function works?

Resurrection!

After a long period of deep sleep, I did it:
I created a new LineageOS 15.1 build for the Galaxy S7 Edge:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=331143

October (Security) patches are included:
https://review.lineageos.org/q/topic:"O_asb_2021-10"

.. and I would like to provide monthly builds for both S7 devices.

But because I don't own such a device:
Testers for Galaxy S7 Edge are very welcome!
I am looking forward to your feedback...

Note:
My builds won't be signed for now!
Be careful when updating or upgrading from an earlier signed build!
Instructions can be found here:

LineageOS 15.1 December build is available now:
I created a new LineageOS 15.1 build for the Galaxy S7 Edge:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=331143

December patches are included:
https://review.lineageos.org/q/topic:"O_asb_2021-12"

Please note!
Google has discontinued support for Android 8.1 in October 2021!
Hopefully, the Android 9 (security) patches will be backported to LineageOS 15.1 for a while ...
I will be offering such future builds when they become available.
But use them at your own risk!
