[ROM][OFFICIAL] LineageOS 17.1 for the Galaxy J7 2015 (j7elte, j7e3g)

[dariotr]

LineageOS 17.1 is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 10, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device. This is a port by me for the Samsung Galaxy J7 2015 and is based on the great work of @danwood76 and @Stricted.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS GitHub repository. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit the project's Gerrit page. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

There was a time that i thought Nougat and Oreo roms was the end of the line for J7 15, and then we had the really nice surprise of having Los pie, and now Android 10!
Thanks for your efforts Dario!

Google Drive servers only allow a limited amount of people to download a file. I might switch to MEGA soon. I also have found a fix for video camera which will be included in the next update.

I tried Los17, really good but i returned to los16

-no way to disable dark mode when battery saver is on.
-no grid size option in home settings (default 5x5, i want 4x5)

@danwood76 just sent me a picture of a theming menu in the settings. You just have to dig deep enough by yourself. And I think the dark mode on battery saving mode makes clearly sense on AMOLED screens
