J7 CM13 ROM question - Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers

Hi I just recently signed up to XDA. I'm not a total noob as I have been using XDA for my S3 for a few years now, with great success. Now I have a new J7 (sm-j700m). I just upgraded the stock 5.1.1 to stock 6.0.1, installed TWRP 3.0.2-0, encrypted it, flashed SuperSU, then flashed xposed-wanam. Pretty happy with it right now. However, I miss Cyanogenmod. I see messi2050 had a popular rom but abandoned it, handing the reins over to aapav01, on this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-galaxy-j7-t3363465
[ROM][6.0.1][UNOFFICIAL][j7elte] CyanogenMod 13 for Galaxy J7 [SM-J700F/H/M]
I would be posting in that thread, but since this is a new account, it won't let me, and so I'm posting here in hopes you guys see it.
All that being said, here is what I came here to say: I'm willing to donate in BTC on a monthly basis for a basic, functional CM rom that is stable and provides monthly security patches. No need to add any special features, I can do that myself. This ROM hasn't been updated since 20160624. So, is it still being developed, or abandoned in favor of CM14? Should I install it and provide logs to The_grim_creeper, or has everyone given up on it?

bump. Maybe I shouldn't have added the poll to my post?

Hi
unfortunately a camera fix is not possible atm so it may never be stable even if the auto reboot / incall audio problems got fixed as the camera bug will stay their

You arent needed to answer him that an LineageOS 14.1 ROM for J7-2015 is now aired in these few days, but he is needed to search by himself for the XDA thread.

Daily driver material?
Hi!
Just wondering..is this rom good enough for daily use? Is it better than stock 4.1.2 (4.2.2 is terrible btw) because i do bot know whether to flash this or not. Also, can you flash it using cwm as I dont really like the TWRP ui

I think it's stable enough for daily use. I use it for many days without any restart or any problem.
You have to update to 4.2.2 first (It won't work on 4.1.x bootloader)
You must know to backup whatever data you don't want to loose cause a full wipe is needed.
Read the first post for warnings, bugs etc. The main bug is bluetooth headset (if you own one).
And yes, you can install from CWM. Instructions on first post.
Also, read third post to keep it fast as long and as "hard" as you use it.

I think @Bestaki23 should compile with 240dpi density.
@sujith88 no, for custom roms you need custom recovery ( CWM or Philztouch)

How to get sources for CM11 for I9105P?
In "[ROM][4.4.4][UNOFFICIAL][M11]Cyanogenmod 11.0" the location of the device specific source code is given as https://github.com/SamsungBCM-Cyanog..._samsung_s2vep and https://github.com/SamsungBCM-Cyanog...ys2plus-common and https://github.com/SamsungBCM-Cyanog...ys2plus-common.
How can I set up a build environment for the I9105P? I already read (an understood) "Learning to build Cyanogenmod" and getting the CM11 sources with repo is no problem, the only problem remaining is how to specify the above mentioned two device specific sources. Can this be done with a local mainfest in the local_manifest directory? If yes, how does this have to look like and what steps are necessary to sync with these two repositories? Are additional steps specific to the I9105P necessary to start a build?
Vibration
So you said the rom is good for daily use... In the main thread I saw numerous comments about vibration being buggy and sometimes non functional. Is this true? The 4.4.2 cm11 by cooldevelopement has fully working vibration. So should I flash cm11 m11 (4.4.4) or 4.4.2? And in the m11 build, are there any other bugs apart from whats listed under "known issues"? Now Android lollipop is just round the corner I hope to have at least the second latest android version :/ 4.1.2 is starting to show it's age when it comes to app compatibility...

Hi, thanks for replying! I already know there is a 4.2.2 offical firmware for the s2 plus, thanks. I dont know about you, but when I updated it I experienced major lag issues, even after doing a factory reset, claering cache, reflashing, etc. Its overall a terrible update from the almost bug free 4.1.2. However, 4.1.2 is soon 3 versions behind and I was looking into flashing one of these awesome looking ROMs that are running 4.4. (Just love how AOSP looks :3) However, I dont really know which ROM i should flash
I think I have decided to flash a cm rom, anyways, but which version should I flash? I used cooldevelopement's cm11 4.4.2 rom in the past, which seems mostly bug free. However I switched back to stock 4.1.2 due to the old youtube app versions having the pixelated vid that the 4.2.2 stock rom used to suffer from. Is this 4.4.4 cm Better or worse than the older 4.4.2 cm I installed before? Thanks in advance sorry for a long message

[Completed] Sprint Galaxy S4 - Lost Usage of Stock and 3rd Party Equalizers

Hello, new member to the forum here. I've just been through an ordeal trying to get Viper4Android working on my Sprint Galaxy S4 SPH-L720 running stock Lollipop 5.0.1. I've finally given up on V4A (enforcing kernel). Anyway, my problem is that somewhere during the course of trying to get V4A to work, I lost usage of the stock music player and equalizer. I'm getting a quick pop message that states the equalizer is "occupied" when trying to run the stock music player (it just crashes after this message). V4A has been uninstalled. The phone is still rooted with Busybox and SELinux installed. I don't really need the stock music player, however, Spotify now will not run any type of equalizer (one is not even listed in settings).
Any help would be appreciated. I've tried searching XDA as well as the internet to no avail.
Hi, thank you for issued XDA Assist. I see you already know where your device's specific forum is so I won't link you to it. It's difficult to tell what you might have changed while trying to install viber4android so the best I can suggest is to flash the stock firmware or a custom Rom and start over again.

Hey thanks. I've searched through everything on this site. Anyway, I'm strongly thinking about CM. Little confused about which version to choose. CM 11 is the latest "stable/snapshot" build for the S4. However, I was advised that there is very little to no risk running a CM 12.1 nightly build on it. So, should I just go to the CM 12.1 download page for my model phone and download the latest one? Or would it be safer to go back to a snapshot CM 11 build? Everyone seems to love 12.

Which is the best ROM for OnePlus One up until now?

Hi everyone,
It's a simple question so, which is the best ROM for OnePlus One up until now?
I just probed ROM LineageOS 14.1 (Android Nougat 7.1.1), but Wi-Fi connection doesn't working well in my case.
Ranking of best ROMs for OnePlus One?
Thank you so much!

You might get some answers in the flasholic thread and in the what's the best rom thread.
Currently, as per my usage, the AOSPA, aka Paranoid Android has a rom with punchline features. Current version is the 7.2.1. I would suggest you to check that out.
I tried Resurection Remix ROM since few deys and it works nice, I don't see any major problem for now.
Lineage 14.1
Hi
I've been using Lineage 14.1 Since March 2017 with no issues whatsoever.
IDK what your wifi issues are, and i have not updated to any of the more recent builds but the one from March 3rd has been working flawlessly for me to the point that I do not even look for new ROMS.
The only real problem I have is in trying to update (which is why I haven't), and the camera, but open camera works as a good replacement for me.
Sorry I know this is not an answer to your question, just weighing in on Lineage on the OnePlus One, which I still think is the best.

Well, auto updating doesn't work.
I have read that is an issue so I found the rom and tried to dirty flash it manually out of recovery.
With auto update I got stuck in a boot loop.
With dirty flash i got blank screen for over an hour.
I use twrp multirom for recovery image, which could be part of the issue but i doubt it b/c it works fine in every other way.
I would play with it more but this is my primary phone, so I can't risk losing it for a few monthly updates.
Literally EVERYTHING else about the ROM I LOVE, and its still more up to date than most

Dirty flash works pretty fine here.I think you might have to change the recovery.

Question on using a custom ROM

Hi all,
First of all, I'm not a developer, so I'd would like to apologise if my posting here is "intrusive". However I have not been able to find an answer to my question and it seems this is the place where I have the best hope of getting it. My question is, once I have updated the tablet with a custom ROM, will I get regular OS updates from Google like I do with my Nexus tablet and phone, or will I have to rely on custom ROMs if I need an OS updates in the future? Many thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Howard
You won't get regular updates from Google. Many custom ROMs are updated by the developer and the updated ROM has to be flashed.

Nope, there will not be any regular update from Google.
However if you decide for one of the KatKiss Roms by Timduru, for instance N 7.1.2 Nougatella, you will get an update frequently that contents the actual Google release.
For example the Nougatella version #24 dated 13th July 2017 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73012269&postcount=1060 contents the June and July release for Android Nougat. So your CR could always be up to date when you install the newest version of it.

Best ROM for (SM-G920F) [AUGUST 2020]

Hello everyone,
Which ROM would you recommend for SM-G920F,
My plan is to root my phone and install the best ROM currently available as the original one started to be very slow and laggy, there is so many of them on the forum, which one would be the best?
Thanks!

There are so many. I suggest for my experience here I have tested out few, most of them are invalid
Try (Enezusun2002 build 28 February LineageOs multitarget 17,1) with that i have no problem.
Many have tried to install newer out there last one I've downloaded I forgot where I download it from it has home signature I don't know if it their own build or someone else
If you need his ota just search ota on enez github
Is the LineageOs a new version of CyanogenMod?
How good is camera?
I remember few years ago, not original camera app was very poor on CyanogenMod, how is this one on GALAXY S6 in this LineageOs ROM?

install magisk and hktweaks app
