LineageOS 20.0 (Android 13) [Signature Spoofing][OTA updates] for S7 Exynos
- Thread starter Ivan_Meler
- Start date
I have no idea what you do with your devices. The current version (vanilla) runs so smoothly fast for me and without consuming too much battery. It is a pleasure to use the device! Great work @Ivan_Meler ! 
Installed twrp-3.6.2_9-0-herolte, lineage-20.0-20220919-UNOFFICIAL-herolte, NikGapps-core-arm64-13-20220908-signed, Magisk-v25.2 I installed everything that I usually use, everything works fine, smoothly, without errors, except for the backlight of the buttons, but this was mentioned. The only problem that does not allow you to use this firmware, when the interlocutor hears himself, he has an echo. This problem is probably on all custom firmware and it can not be solved in any way. It is extremely inconvenient to use because of it. If there is a way to fix this, please let me know.
Do you guys have any problem in accessing the SD Card in apps?
Apps other than the "Google Files"
Apps other than the "Google Files"
I don't have any issues using VLC media player to access my music (and other media files) on the SD Card.
I'm sorry to have to disagree with you, but the echo problem is definitely not solved for everyone. LineageOS 16 is the highest version under which the echo does not occur for me. I have just tested this again with the latest version of Ivan.
Perhaps the only reason you read less about it in the forums is because those people who have an affected S7 have resigned themselves to the fact that there will be no newer LineageOS versions usable in their cases (at least not for making calls and keeping friends at the same time). ;-)
It was fixed for me atleast
Well some people are still facing it maybe it's true that s7 shipped with different parts
Recently I tried LineageOS 19.1, there was an echo, so I did not try again. I've been using LineageOS 20.0 for several days now, everything works very well, the battery keeps well. There are no serious shortcomings. The browser could not access the memory when downloading the file, and did not figure out how to fix it, put Chrome, there is no such problem. Unfortunately, the interlocutors constantly complain about the echo, so I'm waiting for the problem to be fixed, I don't want to return to the original firmware, but I don't see any other alternative.
New builds are out, here is a brief changelog
- Added button backlight control
- Unpinned deprecated updatable media apex jar from ram
- Allowed system to override some bluetooth props
- Performance and stability improvements
- Synced with LineageOS source (Almost all of lineageos features should be there and work now)
Almost all of the lineageos features have been ported to Android 13 now and are working, there still might be a missing few compared to android 12.1 like toggle for software buttons which is work in progress at the moment.
There are also some device side changes that should improve performance stability and battery life
Huge thanks to everyone who supported this project with donations that help cover the build server cost and got me coffee which helps speed things up.
Enjoy new builds and stay safe.

Yes, also my thousands thanks to you @Ivan_Meler for your efforts, its a great job, what you are doing, you are a genius.
I read, that you do this in your free time beside a regular job... thats real rage for keeping up the free Android on the Samsung Galaxy S7... great thing, very great thing!!!
I will change to your LOS 20 in a few weeks, actually I am (as an elder handicaped person) not fit enough to sit the several hours doing the change and then configuring the S7 complete new again...
But I will be better in the next time, I hope, and then I'll gonna get the bull at its horns...
Reading here helps me also to learn a lot, this XDA forum is great, thanks to all too, I really appreciate that!
But one thing is to ask: how can I transmit you @Ivan_Meler a little donation? I ask, because I do not use the PayPal. If you have an idea, please give me an private message.

Enjoy new builds.1Maybe the target sdk of your app? LOS20 is SDK33.. sometimes compatibility for older apps is depends on rom support.1
Kernelspace for wireguard is supported on LineageOS 20Hi, first thanks for your work on keeping this device alive.
I'm still on 19.1 currently, which works alright for me. I've recently found out that it does not support wireguard from the kernel (Installed the app from https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.wireguard.android/ to check, should say "kernel" instead of "userspace"):
View attachment 5797043
So my question is: Does this new release' kernel have wireguard enabled? If not, is it a planned feature? This would greatly benefit performance & battery life as far as I read.
Thanks

Echoes only seem to occur on some devices (possibly depending on factors such as hardware or provider, but no one seems to have been able to narrow this down yet). I think you can only find out by trying the current rom yourself. In my case, unfortunately, there were echos that were not acceptable for my phone call partners, which is why I continue to use LOS 16. Fortunately, Exodusnick still includes occasional security updates in his builds based on LineageOS 16.0 with microG, so at least the security risk is addressed.

Keep in mind that some LineageOS features have not been completed yet this is not a device bug and please do not report those
Also do not post bug reports for known issues or bug reports without proper
a) Logcat
b) proc/last_kmsg (or proc/kmsg)
c) data/tombstones
d) dmesg
Install gapps right after installing the rom itself don't try to boot to system before that if you want to use gapps (Or wipe data before installing them)
NikGapps have been updated to 13, you might need to clean flash if you used other gapps in past including nikgapps 12.1 version
Make sure you are using latest official TWRP before installing rom older versions do not have proper android 12/13 support
