IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ THIS
This is a ROM built from source and not a GSI!

Fix Camera stretch & force close for some camera apps
You can do it editing /vendor/build.prop file using MiXplorer (you’ll need ROOT).
  1. Search for the line “vendor.camera.hal1.packagelist”
  2. After the = are the name of different apps. Delete one of these and put the package name of the app that you want to fix. For example, com.facebook.orca is the Facebook package name.
    • Per default, the ROM comes with Whatsapp, ZOOM, Snapchat and Instagram added. Maximum 4 Apps are allowed in this line and must be separated by comma ",".
  3. If you don’t understand, open this link to see visual steps.
Fix Camera stuck
Sometimes, the camera can get inaccessible if an app has crashed. If it happen, follow this:
  • Install this app. Open it and tap "Kill camera", then give it ROOT permissions. Done! Camera is working again.
    • Take in mind that if the camera is broken and you didn't do this, the audio in calls maybe not work.
GCam
This ROM can run GCam. Download a modded version for Exynos HERE. Thanks to Leonardo Estacio for his mod.

Games: this ROM works so good for gaming and can run ARM64 apps/games. If you feel lags, go to Settings > Battery > Battery Saver and performance > Performance Profile and set it to High Performance.

For close, i want to give a huge thanks to @Astrako - Without him this ROM haven't be possible <3

Wow, really proud that Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) still got new custom ROM, and wow again, it's 64-bit Android.
But it's only have 2 GB of RAM, so using 64-bit Android is really no problem at all?
Mine really long time this phone has been sold.

English (Translated by Google, Turkish-English):

This rom is very fast! Thank you.

I have some problems:

When people call me for the first time, I answer but they can't hear my voice.
The second time people call me, I answer again, this time it's okay.

Why is it not sending my voice when I answer the first call?

How can I solve this problem?

Turkish:

Bu rom çok hızlı! Teşekkür ederim.

Bazı sorunlarım var:

İnsanlar beni ilk kez aradıklarında cevap veriyorum ama sesimi duyamıyorlar.
İnsanlar beni ikinci aradığında tekrar cevap veriyorum, bu sefer sorun değil.

İlk aramayı cevapladığımda neden sesimi göndermiyor?

Bu sorunu nasıl çözebilirim?

Did you try to use your speakers while you're calling someone? Just give a try, your contact will hear his voice louder than yours.
If it doesn't, tell me
Yes, friend .. I just called hands-free .. And yes .. The person on the other end of the line told me that he hears himself with an echo .. What he speaks he has an echo .. What I speak I do not have echo. But he did .. :(

Hands-free calls .. work normally

I just had to install magiks to give super user permissions to the "kill cam" app and kill the camera process on every android reboot ..
Sorry to answer lately, I was really busy.

Ok thanks to have been trying that. Mmmmm by "speakers" I meant the system to hear louder than normal sound loool my english is too bad to explain that. I dont talk about earplugs for example. Because whith many rom i tried on my J7 2016, every time i put the voice call on speakers (not ear plug) My contacts hear his own voice very loudly. As I almost always use speakers or video calls it is very embarassing.
I talk about that : (see picture)

    Yes. I am also having the same problem.
    i solved my problem. it seems, that this ROM or my phone itself, doesnt like the second sim-card-slot.
    i switched from slot2 (the upper one) to the slot1 (the one below). and now i works.

    Hello, first of all, thank you for your work at this ROM.

    Can someone help me, i can't make standard phone call.
    The connection is established, but I can't hear anything or talk.

    I tried different dialer-apps. Nothing worked.
    (When i make a call via Signal-App it works pretty fine.)

    Does anyone have the same problems?

    Thanks for a little help.
