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

[Digger_m]

I decided to update the baseband & modem and CSC to the latest Samsung has. I think the CSC cause an issue with the internal storage . After I flashed all 3 the reboot was halted with a complaint about storage encryption. I don't use inception. This forced me to re-format internal storage. Think this was the CSC file. But this probably not a bad thing. This I'm hoping will fix my WiFi dropping\turning off then on. Will be testing over the next few days.

Current baseband G930FXXU5ESD2

My S7 is a G930FD. I don't use the second SIM slot don't need it. I have a SD card in there .
I have had 1 unexpected reboot so far that was using a camera app.
Apart from that this is looking very nice.
Sending a big Thank you to all the Devs and contributers for all the time you put in .

Please keep us updated regarding this as I'm also loosing Wifi all the time and maybe this helps to solve this.

On the WiFi disconnecting problem I have found the disconnecting is random and affects the 2.5ghz and 5ghz. Any where up to 6 times an hour .

For me its the same, but I can't turn of the 5GHz WiFi of my home Router (I'm not allowed).
If anybody else did find a trick, please help us out

Go edit the WiFi you're connecting on and change the IP settings into static. Now configure the IP address (it's different per routers but you check the IP address of other devices connected and change the last number to something that isn't used). Gateway is the router (usually 192.168.1.1, but again it's different).

This is what I did for both my 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks.

This ROM is much stable compared to all Pie ROMs and no rounded ui here
Hope the devs continue to maintain it. Thank you devs and community.

I will reassign the IP as suggested . I had set my phone to static IP a few years ago. I've used a high number this time. I'll continue to monitor the restarts on the WiFi. However this problem affects my phone on my friends WiFi that isn't a static IP. Thanks

You can use still use the static IP option on your phone, even if the router isn't set to do just static IPs.

I don't think the phone is allowed to choose it's IP as that's the job of the gateway\server .

 

[Digger_m]

Reassigning the static IP hasn't made any difference to the WiFi randomly restarting.

I've been using this ROM for quite a while as my daily driver and it works fine. I was now wondering whether it'd be safe to upgrade to version 16? It seems its also maintained by Ivan, does anyone have any experience with that one and switching? https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/beta-lineageos-16-0-s7-herolte-t3842465

Been using Ivan's 16.0 since the beginning and still very pleased with it. Have no experience with switching from 15 to 16, but you have to do a total clean flash.

 

[fancyanh]

I flashed the rom and currently lost the navigation key (back key and recent key). Can someone help me fix it?

 

[Pipadee2014]

Amazing rom brilliant thank you

 

[arefin_sajib]

Call screen goes blank, cannot disconnect the call either while in any call(phone/fb). build 51

Actually I did a dirty flash + open gapps flash + clean cache on top of the 15.1 and everything worked fine. Switched from 15.0 to 16 last october this way, so far so good. Ivan did a very good job for both roms, I hope that 16 will become LOS official someday (even though it seems that he stopped working on S7, actually).

I did disable the build in Email, Calender and Browser App. I use better alternatives.

Which calendar do you use?

I decided to try Los 16 . because of the WiFi restarts. It seams 16 seams to puts the WiFi to sleep so the WiFi restarts are worse
Decided to update the baseband again to the latest for my region BTU. Will get back after I do.

 

[Digger_m]

It looks like it's 1 app I've been using that's caused my WiFi issues. But updating baseband and BL isn't a bad thing. Any way it's my firewall that's was booting the WiFi off I have found Afwall. It's the damdest thing been using it for many years love the app .never lost WiFi till I swapped to Los. 15. It's a shame to cas it's easy to use. Not the antivirus as I thought it might be.trying ultra firewall now.

Wrong again wasn't the fire wall. I think it's something to do with the Los and build.props. On the WiFi advanced tab I don't see a "keep WiFi on" tab
I looked threw build.props for any power saving entereries. I didn't see any. I added this
ro.platform.has.sleeppolicy=true to build props and rebooted. Tested for a time. Then set to false + reboot. Then tested for a time . Then finally deleted it + reboot. Now the WiFi is stable and dosnt restart 6+ times an hour. It will go off in deep sleep generally threw the night when it's charging. I can live with that.

This build seem to work perfectly with me, except some minor issues like the crackling sound when calling, and wifi sometimes cannot find networks (need to reboot device to fix). Does anyone fix these issues? Please help me, thanks.
