I also think that a lot of the problems are kernel related. And it looks like nobody is able to change anything about the kernel. I believe that is the main problem.
Thats not true. Here are lots of official LOS ROMs. Some years ago LOS for our S7 had an official ROM with its thread here on XDA.Official LOS builds are accessible via the LOS website, i.e. all LOS ROMs at XDA are unofficial.
You can read about the process of becoming an official device maintainer here https://wiki.lineageos.org/submitting_device.htmlMy opinion was that @Ivan_Meler has an S7, write some own kernel patches for missing drivers which went into the LineageOS repo and create his own ROM and If the phone quality has reached a certain Quality it gets official.
As far I read until now, it seems I misunderstood something?
Would be interesting to know which requirements did not meet.You can read about the process of becoming an official device maintainer here https://wiki.lineageos.org/submitting_device.html
I also have this experience. Wifi randomly disconnects and can't reconnect anymore, doesn't show any access points. As a workaround, I enable Airplane mode for a few seconds, then disable it again. After that, Wifi works again. Would be really great to have more stability though. Are there any ideas what to try?The rom is great, but the wifi is buggy, it disconnects and it's also slow
Also wondered if Ivan is planning to do make a LineageOS 18 for Galaxy S7 or if I should slowly start looking for a new phone XD
I've seen that thread before but thought the "Exynos" meant it wasn't for the regular S7. Stupid me, thanks for answering, both of you!
I think this is a commonly known problem. Same issue applies to bluetooth. It is also annoying that the wifi connection is deactivated about 20 minutes after display off, so that everything then runs via mobile data. I think these are all kernel-related problems and since nobody seems to have access to the kernel, they are unlikely to be resolved.I also have this experience. Wifi randomly disconnects and can't reconnect anymore, doesn't show any access points.
Thanks for the updates, will only have security update?New build is up with july security update, You can find the download link in OP
big thanks to everyone who supported this project as they are the reason project is still alive
enjoy new build and stay safe
mostly yeah, ill port some changes that made it to 18.1 but not everything is applicable
Why dont you guys try official PixelExperience 11 Plus rom?I also have this experience. Wifi randomly disconnects and can't reconnect anymore, doesn't show any access points. As a workaround, I enable Airplane mode for a few seconds, then disable it again. After that, Wifi works again. Would be really great to have more stability though. Are there any ideas what to try?

Anyway, great work! I have been using Ivan's ROMs for a long time now and have been very happy with it for the absolute majority of time <3
