Thanks a lot for your reply Kootarsh. Does this mean that using LOS 16.0 or 14.1 would solve the problem?

Someone here reports the same issue for LOS 14, 15 and 16. I think the only ones that do not have this particular issue would be non-Lineage based but stock/OneUI like FloydQ. Those ones though have other issues (like fingerprint not working in many applications). You can check the issue list for all available S7 flat ROMs I've created (the list is still in development, but gives some useful info).

Thank you for your followup Kootarsh and additional info. I see that I might have to bite the dust and go back to stock rom. I have tried to find a stock download for the herolte, but have not been able to. In case a stock becomes the unavoidable solution, do you know where I can find it?

Thanks

Thank you so much for keeping this device alive! I have been trying to install an update since my first flash. First, it would get stuck in a boot loop. I tried factory reset and then flash, it would boot no problem. After restoring data, bootloop. SAme thing over again with restoring data and boot, bootloop. Finally booted fine after restoring complete nandroid backup and then flashing new update twice. Who knows. But now, it freezes when I try unlocking homescreen. Notifications say SD card cannot be found.

Could it be that all my problems are related to adopted storage? How do I update with a system on adopted SD?
(I am only trying to update from LOS 17 from 2020 to LOS 17 from 2022 from the same thread. No upgrade.)

Can anyone help? Internal storage isn't sufficient, I definitely need the SD. I'd also like some security updates though...

Thanks!

My S7 was running years without of any problems with the official LOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.). The only reason to skip it: It was no longer maintained and therefore a 'unsecure' device. I decided to go for the not official LOS 17.1 and since then the echo and other things are present.

The issue list is only about Android 9+, as S7 has official stock ROM Android 8 available, so most custom ROMs with Android 8- just tune/modify official kernel and some system components, this is why the issue list is different in this case.
I believe the above mentioned issues for older LOS may been not of the same cause or were there before official release of stock ROM of related Android version.

Hello Ivan, thx for the update, but i'm afraid it's the road for a boot loop. Thx a lot for all your job for our old marvellous phone.

I have a few question about the new linageos version 19.1
> Apps > Special Acces > Useage Data Access
By default all apps have useage access... This was not the case in previous versions
> Apps > Special Acces > Device Administrator
Is storage manager an active device administrator in lineage 19.1 yes or no?
The "show system" option is gone so there is no way to know if the app has access or not...
Under privacy settings what happened to the setting "start on boot"
In previous versions there was this option to deny individual app access, now it's gone...

What's going on here? This doesn't seem good at all...

Noob question.

How do you keep your information and load it back onto the device after flashing ROM?

Can you use Smart Switch? Restore?

here it is August security update
Nothing major in this one as i am still working behind the scenes on that huge update i talked about previously which involves rewrite of almost whole graphics and media stack (This will mostly affect android versions 11 and above tho so i would recommand update to that)(its almost finished but i still have to do a bit more testing just to make sure there is no regression)

In other news android 13 should be released next month and since there were no major changes s7 should be running it soon after release with not too many issues and ill try to take a few days off from work to get it up and running on it once source is out

Once again huge thanks to everyone who supported this project, helped cover build server cost and got me coffee with donations.
This project wouldnt be alive without them as i do this in my free time as a hobby.

Enjoy new builds and stay safe
