REMINDER

If you're having issues and want to submit a report (logcat) please make sure you are reporting from the stock kernel, not a modified kernel. Modified kernels can break or fix, even improve things. It depends. I can't get a full clue of the issue when you're not running the original kernel.

Yes, I just realized it crashes; if you can take a logcat I can try to find the issue and solve it. Anyway I'll look into the issue later today when I have time.

If you can restrict the logcat to errors only you would save me a lot of time (actually 19.6MB of text are almost unreadable).
This app is very useful: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pluscubed.matlog; you can choose from the menu to show (and save) errors only.
Try to replicate the issue and then go to save the logcat.
Thank you!

Waaay better, I have already isolated the error and I'll look into that.

By the way, you should remove the link to the other log as it contains way too much (and I mean sensitive data).

I usually don't bother with Aosp/Cm roms for Exynos but this Rom has been the best thing that ever happened to my S7 edge. It's basically like having a Pixel phone. Been using this for a couple of days and so far no errors for me. Camera quality is nice and I never do video recordings apart on Snapchat and it does FC Snapchat if you try to take a video. Early days but overall solid effort. This is a perfect daily driver. And I haven't noticed any overheats as well. Thank you for bringing AOSP performance to our Exynos phone ?

 

[kylothow]

New build with fixed charging while phone is turned off:

I don't know if I'll compile today as the only change in our sources are the switch to stock APNs, it depends if I manage to fix/improve something myself today.
