LineageOS 20.0 (Android 13) [Signature Spoofing][OTA updates] for S7 Edge Exynos
- Thread starter Ivan_Meler
- Start date
New builds are up with fixed double tap to wake, sorry for inconvenience
I never implied it was a problem with this rom. The reason I said that is because in the first post Ivan stated to use the latest TWRP, so I thought it would be helpful for someone in the future to read that and then have a successful flashing.
You expect everyone to read every post in a sizeable thread?
Forgive me, but you did come across as being a little bellicose.
Perhaps a link to https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-exynos-official-twrp-for-galaxy-s7-edge-hero2lte.3334084 added to the first posting would help...
yeah sorry for making it sound like that, was trying to reply quickly
Hi all, I just flashed this ROM today and so far it looks great. Thanks to all the developers and especially Ivan_Meler.
I did run into the same issues though that some people mentioned here before. Some apps detect root and won't work. I did not have this problem with other Lineage OS builds on other phones. So I wonder if there is a way to make this ROM look clean for these apps? I wanted to avoid using Magisk unless absolutly necessary, as this causes other problems.

@ei146 Magisk, as I understand it, is the only contemporary solution for rooting, in particular for Android 10+. With Shamiko and LSposed combined most issues can be addressed; only for very stubborn apps one may need more (USNF the most popular module, you may also have to look for HideMyApplist and DevOptsHide which link into LSposed - for an example, see these instructions {which unfortunately don't work for LOS 20 but this time the app is to blame}). Like they say, there's no foolproof solution for everything - as only fools would use it. But you can get pretty close.
@steve8x8 Thanks for your response. But I should have asked in a better way, I don't want root.
As far as I understood this ROM is not rooted. The usual root checkers confirm this. Which is fine for me.
But some apps still detect root, and i don't know why. And of course nobody knows what they really check to come to the conclusion that phone was rootet.
So I would have to install Magisk, thereby root the phone and then use Magisk's tools to hide root again to run these apps? There must be a better way...

It doesn't seem like the best way, but in my case it was the only way that the applications that detected root would work without having root in the ROM, installing Magisk, to hide the root
Yep, unfortunately some root detection toolkits are a bit overzealous and would also complain about public signatures, unlocked boot loaders, enabled developers options, and whatnot. Avoiding that completely would mean to use outdated stock rom - which then might be rejected by the same software because too old.
You're between a rock and a hard place, and have to decide which side is more comfortable.

thanks king, ive been following/reading this cool guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...g-galaxy-s7-edge-stock-to-android-13.4404405/
very understandable so far!
Here is a vid, although you can look at his other vids to see how to instal TWRP first
Personally I put the rom and gapps on an sd card and instal that way, just make sure you unlock the bootloader first in Developer settings and you are good to go.
And finally, April builds are up, (Google is to blame for delays again. Source was posted just few hours ago).
Here is a brief changelog
- Merged April 2023. Security update
- Updated selinux and removed neverallow rules to make device more secure

Huge thanks to everyone who donated and helped keep this project up and running for years, donations help cover build server cost and get me coffee.
Enjoy new builds and stay safe

I have a problem with the network. When I'm connected to wifi or mobile data, applications can use the internet, but the browser and phone-wide internet doesn't work. When I do a search in the browser, it says there is an error about the proxy configuration, but I did not set any proxy settings on my phone. How can I solve this?
Here is a little surprise update for everyone here.. So lets begin with a changelog
- Switched to more source built components from new Exynos 850/Linaro BSP
- Performance, stability and battery life improvements
- Synced with LineageOS source
This changes quite a lot of under the hood stuff and gets rid of a lot of proprietary blobs by replacing them with much more up to date source built components, if you are compiling on your own dont forget to update roomservice.xml as always all of the source has been pushed to https://github.com/8890q , This has been in works since middle of 2022 but i never got around to finishing it and fixing few remaining bugs that came from bsp until this week, so i really hope you all enjoy it.
In general this will help s7 live a bit longer as we have way more control over most of the hals on device
This will also make its way to 19.1 builds soon and maybe even 18.1.

Its a fun challenge, and honestly exynos 8890 is still quite capable platform so it would be sad to see it just die offWhy do you keep spoiling us
In my opinion, the S7 Edge is still the prettiest smartphone ever made.
Maybe I should donate to your coffee addiction fund a 2nd time
Thanks for all your continued hard work Ivan, we continue to love our phones because of you.3

change dpi setting again, it will resize the UI to desired resolution scaling
Obtain ROOT to disable it
or just adb command to disable it
Just remember to backup your data before doing it, I'm not sure if it is a crucial app -
