Snapdragon s7 rom support - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

hi,
As far as I remember smartphones whom soc is made by qualcomm had the best custom rom support, but recently I saw multiple sources claiming the exynos versions of the S7 are better for custom roms,
can someone help me figure out how well each version is supported?
- thanks a lot!

With the S7, the Exynos is the better supported model

Just don't expect aosp roms on the exynos, only touchwiz.

i would chose SGS2
I guess SG2 will be better choise but they promise a lot with Tegra 2 cpus.

Exactly what I was wondering. The only thing holding me back from the SGS2 was the thought of not having the Tegra. And what are the possibilities of a CM7 or AOSP ROM?
Thanks for all the replies so far.

Ok, but do we know anything about stock AOSP ROMs? I wanna get as close to stock asap whe ni get this. Considering how fast it is with the TW bloatware, should be a speed demon on stock 2.3.4

AOSP ROMS are very fast and works well but are soo simple.
for example i don´t like AOSP because i´m HTC SENSE LOVER..
in adition SGS 2 is going to run ANDROID OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS without problems
cyanogenmod7 is a current rom and has (under my experience the better performance.. available in SGS)in a few time when SGS2 outs... it´s going to be available CM7.X.X for this super-machine

Samsung S7 G9300 China (Snapdragon) ROMS?

Hey all.
I have looked around, and call me clueless, but I still don't understand if there are or what ROMs are floating around for the snapdragon version of the S7. Does anyone know if there are any? And if so, is there a single, more popular one that is more likely to work well?
And if someone wanted to start development for building a Nougat build, where would one start?
Thanks for any help!

I wonder why Snapdragon variants have no AOSP ROMs. Before S7 Exynos based devices have no community support.

camera s8 for s7 ? Will it be possible?

Hi friends, will it be possible to have s8 camera application in s7? Will it work just as well in our s7?
as far as i know those two has identical sensors, so porting it won't be a much trouble, i think

The part of the software image processing would be very interesting.

They're not identical, the s8 uses a imx333, the s7 uses an imx260.

Android 10 Go for my Tab 2 digital picture frame?

Is Android 10 Go possible? Or maximum 7.1.2?
I don't mind slowness until it is unusable. Galaxy S2 did it even without Android Go, why Tab 2 can't?
Also how to make custom rom myself?
Update:Installed Lineage 14.1, it is still fast(er than stock rom)
Hi i also waiting
Yeah. Even our ancestor Galaxy Tab 2011 Wifi recieved Android Oreo.

ooof didnt expect that
but thiss device is ages old and its nice of devs to keep it updating to latest security patches
making a rom is quite hard i guess (tried making one but didnt understand stuff) hopefully if devs want they can make one but i dont think it will happen nougat is still buggy for us
Me too

yeah, it's sad that the predecessor got oreo and GT2 haven't. Oreo go edition would have been the best rom for this tablet and any aging tablet for that matter as it is modern and is easy on hardware with 1GB RAM and underperforming processors.

Exactly the Go versions ars made for Android with less ram so it would go smoothly but idk the devs don't wanna do it and I can't find any good tutorial to begin with:crying:
Someone may know Oreo download link.

Actually it is the fault of the PowerVR Graphics Chip. We will not get Oreo before i9000 get it.

Why no ROM??

Can anyone explain why there are no ROM (except Unofficial LineageOS ) for this smartphone. I am a big fan of Pixel Experience ROM but there is no ROM for this smartphone. I can use GSI but that comes with a lot of problems and bugs.
Not enough interest and no dev willing to take it on.

May be due to the Exynos Processor

I don't think exynos is the problem because there are lots of smartphones of samsung with same processor but they have a broad variety of ROMS.

These are Samsung phones too! These may be valued more ?! This is still a Motorola device.
Maybe too few have this smartphone. The cheaper moto action is better supported.
Edit:
Well. I just looked around the one action forum. Not really more support either...
