REQUIREMENTS

A Galaxy S7/S7 Edge G930F / G930FD / G935F / G935FD / Device
TWRP Custom Recovery (Make sure you have atleast 3.2.1-1 installed)
Latest Bootloader and Modem. The easiest way to do this is to flash it via the ROM installer, alternatively you can flash it via an official ODIN Firmware.
MAKE SURE YOU FLASH THE CORRECT VARIANT !! Don't worry about the CSC as this can be changed then you install TGP.

You can grab the Bootloader and Modems from here:

Bootloader Files
Modem Files

INSTALL STEPS

Copy the ROM over to your Internal Memory (not the external SD Card).
Restart your phone into TWRP Recovery, and make a backup beforehand if desired.
Do a FULL Wipe (Optional, but recommended and especially recommended if you are having issues)
Install the ROM, and restart your phone.
PLEASE NOTE: Oreo seems to be a little funny with Deodexed ROMs, so you will need to restart your device a couple of times in order for the deodexed system to be properly optimized.
After the setup wizard is complete, it's always a good idea to give your phone a restart afterwards as well.
Enjoy your new ROM.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need a rooted device to install this?
No.
You do however need your data partition to be formatted after having installed some kind of dm-verity or encryption removal patch.
Does this ROM support K, L, S and W8 Variants?
No.
Oreo hasn't been released for these devices yet, so unfortaunetly until their bootloaders and modems are released, TGP can not support these device.
My phone keeps restarting while doing the setup wizard...
This is normal at the moment for Oreo.
Hopefully it can be something that can be patched later on, but for now it's something we have to put up with.
Should I select r22p0 or r15p0 GPU Drivers?
Originally, r15p0 GPU Driver support was included due to the buggy initial release of the r22p0 drivers in the initial Oreo release.
TGP 2.1.0 and will have the r22p0 driver issue sorted, but both options will still be available.
Magisk or SuperSU?
Personally I perfer Magisk.
It allows passing of Safetynet without any issues, and is still supported, unlike SuperSU where development has now been stopped.

djb77 · May 20, 2018 at 5:06 AM

Just having to quick re-upload it, there was a small bug in the installer I wanted to fix quickly.
Should be up in an hour.

super_nooby · May 20, 2018

surdustef · May 20, 2018 at 8:15 AM

It's very interesting that Samsung uses the r22 version when r24p0 was already released on 26 april

Mrawesome13 · May 20, 2018 at 9:36 AM

So this won't work on g930w8?

And it's interesting because nobody implemented it yet in the custom kernel

Downloading.

As a side note, really like the opening post. It's clear and well set up.

Hi, I'm getting bootloop when trying to reboot after rom installation finished. Installation went without any errors. Can someone help me, i formated data, wiped everything except Micro SD card and USB OTG, tried installing with stock and TGPKERNEL, old and new graphics drivers, nothing helps.

Nvm guys, i tried one more time, this time i choose in aroma full wipe, and to delete previous magisk/supersu installs and it somehow worked.

Very nice work @djb77.
The rom is stable and smooth (It remind me the lyapota's Helios Rom) and with some goodies here and there. Also the TGP kernel is awesome .
I believe that this is going to be my daily rom from now on.
Keep going dude...

@djb77 please stop use AFH upload service. Its really slow and some times stop downloading. use MEGA please

jwedda · May 20, 2018 at 8:33 PM

Rom is up and running. Seems to be very battery friendly. It's got just the tweaks that I want.

I do have two issues though:
It appears that mails, (whatsapp) messages come through sporadically, or only when I check the phone. I wonder if this is due to this specific kernel?

And secondly, I can't use Vysor as I never get the prompt to approve the USB Connection to my PC. After some digging I found that similar issues arose with hacked kernels, but not with official kernels... Soo is there another kernel for this rom?

badadam · May 20, 2018 at 9:18 PM

Everything working smoothly here except for the Ayra sound mod. Dolby crashes when opening sound contol and Viper freezes.
