Is the fast charge working on S7 with LOS?

Sent from my HTC One M9 using XDA Labs

Are there any sound modifications for the Galaxy S7 that may give more power to the sound output?

A notification alert sounds on maximum like the same alert on medium at stock rom.

By the way, I have installed the module for stock modifications (e. g. dual spekar sound mod, see few posts before).

Is this something complex to realize?
Just a question, because if OTA would work, it would be so much more user friendly, e.g. for not experienced users.

Well, i guess if you manage to get it on your phone for the first time, an update should not be a problem.

Second thing is that this rom is unofficial, so the dev is building and distributing this rom himself. i think official roms have ota, but i think it also does not work well

I must completely disagree.

Of course it is a problem. I don't want to have to start my local computer to download a new image. I don't want to need to plug in my smartphone regularly to my desktop pc. I don't want to regularly check if updates are available. And I don't want to do this also for colleagues/friends/family who don't know how to do that.
I'm not lazy, but to refuse OTA update with the argument "it should be no problem" is a big fault for user acceptance.

I had never bad experience with OTA updates, so I cannot confirm. But I don't know if there are technical disadvantages with OTA.
Also unofficial ROMs have OTA, e.g. LineageOS for MicroG https://www.los-legacy.de/

This is no criticism, I just try to explain why your post does not answer my question. :cowboy:

That's sounds nice. Viper4android is installed as system app, right?

And are there any profiles that can be loaded in Viper4android. I don't like to experience because I don't know which settings I have to do.

Perhaps there is an instruction or something else that can improve the sound output more powerful for the Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F).

Any helpful ideas ;)

Ok thats complicated ... i download the new zip with the browser on my phone, reboot to twrp or any other recovery and dirty flash ... thats it basically

And that OTA upadetes are available would require that the dev uploads them to such a distribution service, currently the dev of this rom releases once a month i think, via google drive i think, which is totally fine.

Official linage roms are build daily, depending on the android version and the team has the infrastructure to offer such a service. you should not forget that this version is unofficial, so basically also not meant for peaple who dont know what to do.

And i don`t feel criticized, i now what you mean but thats how the situation is :)

The Su root given didnt seem to install anything, but the latest magisk worked. The google camera also seems to crash when I try to switch from back to front one, any way I can install the stock S7 one?

This rom distributed as zip file via google drive resources what cost zero. You claim to buy and setup dedicated server, maintain it, and provide rather fast world-wide access to it as a OTA source. How do you think could YOU help with that? Cause I'm not.

Have any of you successfully built this from source? The instructions on the LineageOS wiki for herolte only work for cm-14.1. The repo sync works for lineage-16.0 but fails at the breakfast herolte command. Additionally, the extract-files.sh script doesn't appear to exist in the herolte folder. It's apparent that there must be some manual steps to get the kernel integrated from Ivan's repo (and perhaps more), but I can't seem to figure out what all those steps are.

Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

I had offered @Ivan_Meler to use my ota server at that time.
But apparently he does not want.
He has not contacted me until today .

    New build is up, making this a first exynos device to have working hwc on aosp pie. build has been tested against previous hwc issues which were present last time it was enabled and such issues werent present in this build,

    Also gotta say im really dissapointed at this comunity at this point, Some of you clearly dont understand i do this in my free time which i might not have sometimes due to work and other stuff i have to deal with in personal life and i do this for free just to help comunity (Hell i even cover server cost), so you cant demand anything i said i would post build when i get time which is right now, and worst of all im only person working on this device so if i wasnt working there wouldnt be aosp pie or oreo for that matter so if any of you feel like complaining again you can just go and use any other rom from here

    anyway here is an short changelog
    12.05.2019.
    - Fixed HWC
    - Updated kernel to 3.18.139
    - Updated vendor security patch to match (Latest at the moment samsung decided to drop support for monthly patches on s7 so they update it every 3 months now, we dont use a lot of blobs from stock anyway so this is non issue)
    - Updated system security patch to may
    - Enabled quota support on /data (Make sure you are on latest twrp)
    - Misc performance and stability improvements
    - Synced with LOS source
    59
    new builds are up, here is a brief changelog

    - Updated kernel to 3.18.140
    - Updated rom to June security update
    - Updated prop. binaries to May security updated
    - Removed unused gralloc usage bits flag
    - Misc performance and stability changes (bsp side)

    new 15.1 builds will be out soon (Well as soon as june security update gets merged into lineage-15.1 branch)
    thanks again for being grat and supportive comunity (for the most part haha) and i hope you enjoy this new release

    And here is a little behind the scenes of whats going on with development right now
    I managed to get 4.14 kernel to boot on the s7 (serial console as of right now so it didnt boot to gui)
    what does this mean? this means longer support for the device, performance improvements and better security
    When will this be available for others to test?, Unfortunately not so soon as i said it only goes to serial console (thru uart) right now
    and pretty much everything is broken just getting it to boot was a big step and ill try to get thing with that kernel sorted during summer

    Also i would like to thank everyone who donated as it helps with the server costs which also helped with progress that will hapen, this rom will never
    have exclusive group for donators like some roms and it will never become one of those paid roms a lot of people started releasing
    But as stated previously donations are greatly appreciated as they help with keeping everything running
    59
    So a progress update on Q, I have booting build i got done earlier today but i want to finish up few things before posting it, as for lack updates i got sick of this comunity as some group of users are really disrespectful and well being only person that worked on aosp while others just take work and do it for profit while i spend time and money on build server expensses and reverse engineering stuff and stuff just didnt sit fine for me (I cant really build on other peoples servers either as i have parts of bsp source that is private and i dont want to leak as i could get in legal trouble, and thats the reason why rom has fully working hwc amongst other things) As for surprise i decided to postpone it until i release q because it would be picked by others minute i post it anyway

    And well thanks to everyone who donated earlier as i do this non profit (Unlike some projects on these forums) in my free time and those donations help offset server cost a bit, ill try to post q builds in a coming week
    58
    Got a new screen for my s7 egde yesterday so here are new builds (Oreo builds are coming in few days)
    And here is a brief changelog,
    - Updated rom to July security update
    - Updated prop. binaries to June security updated
    - More hwc improvements UI should be even smoother now
    - Source code side cleanup
    - Improved reliability of nfc
    - Misc performance and stability improvements

    As of camera ive isolated the issue and i am working on fixing it right now its related in handling of hal1 in some apps like facebook messenger and most of apps under facebook (instagram whatsapp ) and few other social media apps, there is a way to force those apps to use hal1 to stop lag but that has its own issues as of now so i didnt include it in this build, should be included with next one together with a big surprise for a lot of people here

    Once again i would like to thank everyone who donated in past as it really helps to keep build servers running, I do this in my free time free of charge so any donations to project are welcome and help to keep servers running , Also expect a big surprise in a few days because something big is on its way that you probably wouldnt expect on s7 just yet
