If you would like to use a custom ROM (LOS 16 = Android 9) based on Ivan's ROM you could try the one from here.I reverded to original stock android 8 firmware.
thankyou, but i prefer use original stock firmware until 18.1 stable are available for this unit. I need VoLTE function that are not present in LOSIf you would like to use a custom ROM (LOS 16 = Android 9) based on Ivan's ROM you could try the one from here.
I am having none of those problems. I clean flashed.I tryed this 18.1 build with google apps.
Audio of phone calls is very poor (low volume) with normal calls, and using speakerphone for calls results as echoes in the call.
Additionally the fingerprint sensor don't work with my homebanking app i must use pin instead.
Also the VoLTE function is missing... so when i receive calls, the 4G connection is switched down.
Additionally the microsd card FAT32 format are incompatible and you must format into lineage filesystem instead.
So think about it before you do the flash this version on the phone, the build are unstable and very buggly.

I am not having problems. The fingerprint issue was addressed in a previous post where they said: you need to reinstall the app. The MicroSD issue is because android uses EXT4 for its filesystem so i get why it formats it. The voLTE i am not sure about.I tryed this 18.1 build with google apps.

Yeah I've been trying for a while now, no luck so far. Really want to try this new build.Uuuuh mega link is down and google drive link is locked due to many downloads. Shucks.
Tried on one phone and runs fine. Did clean install on my main phone and Nikgaps Android setup keeps quitting. Tried updating permissions but would not work and could not get google drive apps and settings back. Restored last 17.1 backup for now until I know that setup will work.New builds are up, And one big change is that hwc is back and ui should be smoother than ever
here is a brief changelog that explains other chnges too
- Fixed HWC
- Drastically improved performance and battery life
- Added back flicker free dimming and fast charging switch (Now as hiidl interfaces)
- Switched to samsungs DT2W driver used on AOD on stock (Battery life improvements)
- Added custom LiveDisplay modes
- Disabled some excess logging
- Cleaned up codebase
HWC took quite a bit of work to get working again (Thanks google..) but s7 lives to see yet another year on up to date version of android
Big thanks to everyone who donated as they help keep this project alive I do this in my free time and said donations help cover build server cost and get me coffee which in return helps solve bugs haha
I installed latest niksgapps too and had no issues with setup at allTried on one phone and runs fine. Did clean install on my main phone and Nikgaps Android setup keeps quitting. Tried updating permissions but would not work and could not get google drive apps and settings back. Restored last 17.1 backup for now until I know that setup will work.

Try again now, i updated links 2 more times as i decided to make some final changes (disabled some excess logging which was slowing things down)Yeah I've been trying for a while now, no luck so far. Really want to try this new build.
