Bugs:

• Camera/Camcorder
• Selinux is permissive
• Audio volume steps don't work
• You tell me

What works:

• Boots
• Audio (Recording/Playback)
• Video Playback
• GPS
• Wifi
• Bluetooth
• FM Radio
• In-Call Audio
• RIL (NOTE: You must go into Settings, and follow this: (Network & Internet) -> (Mobile Network) -> (Advanced) -> (Carrier Settings). This will fix things for one reason or another.)

Installation Instructions:
First off, make sure you are running the latest TWRP. It will be continually updated with support for this ROM's features.
Secondly, ensure at the very least, you are on a recent update. If you are not, then flash the stock ROM via Odin, and perform a system update.
Thirdly, this ROM is ONLY for the SM-J727P, also known as j7popltespr, or the J7 2017 Snapdragon.

1. Perform a factory reset in TWRP
2. Select advanced settings under 'Wipe', and wipe 'System'
3. Flash the LineageOS 16.0 ROM
4. Install any other modifications (OpenGApps (Platform ARM64, Ver. 9.0.0), and/or Magisk)
5. Wipe Dalvik & Cache
6. Reboot and wait

NOTE: I will likely not be releasing any more Lineage 16.0 builds for the J7. I wanted to get something stable out, but unfortunately some of the bugs require far more effort to resolve. This build is probably the best working one to date, so that's what's released. I hope you enjoy!

We do not have a maintainer for the C7 Pro currently, but it is possible.

I got it to work but not internet . I went back to 8.1. However even after I formatted and swiped everything my phone only says have 8 gigs of storage with only 2.5 available . This only happened after flashing this rom a few times . Any idea how to fix this so phone recognizes 16 gig ? Oh and btw your rom is cool and when I have more experience may put it back on . Thank you for all your great work on J7 , I love this phone !

@Tigerevo Hello, can you give us detail about how you restored to the stock ROM 8.1? Did you use TWRP backup or do you use ODIN to flash your phone?

@minz1 I think I have I faint idea of what is causing the camera to misbehave, as I noted in another post about the quirks of the Oreo ROM in the J7 Perx, if you uninstall the stock Messages app or the Contacts app, it automatically ruin your camera, both front and rear making it unable to work while summoning any app that require them, it doesn't make the app crash or anything, it just show a black viewfinder unable to make it take a shot or record video, not even the flash. As for the LTE or by default 3G Internet, it's unfortunate that there are no open source for the Snapdragon 625 modem or binary blobs going around to interface with it. But all in all very smooth and nice running ROM for an initial Android 9.0 port to the J7 Perx

I formatted and swiped system . I then used odin.

Flashed to j727r4 and working with same bugs as mentioned. Had to flash the j7popltespr lineage 14.1 prior to flashing lineage build 16 in order for system to boot. Not sure why. Also magisk 20.0 prevents system from booting as well. Magisk 18.1 on the other hand is working. Crossing fingers for a working lineage 17.0 ?

Same problem here, grayed out options, these posts are within a few days of each other but surely this isn't something new... then again, if it is (something new), should it be taken to mean that there are indeed 'new' issues/features? Boy, now we're cooking with gasoline!
This is a solid rom, but my 'good phone' decided it needed to be in the bath (I'd already told it to be BY the bath, awaiting my requests) so now I'm all like: mllmlmm, you know? And don't even get me STARTED on spending money. Psht!

As the developer stated in her post, this ROM will not get further updates or end up as a final release because the burden to fix those bugs are unsurmontable for a single person. Let's behave as civilized people and not start talking nonsense to just pan handle some free meal.
