MIUI 8 for S7 FLAT // G930F - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi, I want to know if there is any ROM or possibilities for a development?

Possible Yes if there is any development going on at the moment no idea!
I know there is development for the s7 edge version

No. Not possible.
Sources not open. Ever wondered why there is no AOSP? Same reason

Not true... Sources are here : https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom
Need 6.0.1 ROM to be patched. The S6 has a very good working MIUI 8 since a little time.
Samsung officiel 6.0.1 of S7 can be patched and get working MIUI but we need dev.
AOSP is not exactly the same. We need sources from Samsung but for MIUI just patch Samsung ROM without needed sources.

I´m talking about S7 sytem sources. You need a system to build it on . and I don´t mean kernel sources.
If it was "just" patching, why don´t you try it?

Samsung released kernel source: http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=t560
Hope this means will have custom roms soon.
Hope you're right.
same for the sm-t377p

I am happy too, for the manufacture-tradition when releasing kernels. I hope too, someone would build LineageOS but then again, who am I fooling?
The kernel doesn't have any self-conscious making own roms
You know what, I am super happy that I have both ROOT & XPOSED FRAMEWORK working on this device. Also, I use Wanam-module (deprecated) to customise a bit.
I have far better devices that are excellent, they have RemixOS, they have MIUI and so on, but a big BUT, they are missing Xposed frameWork, too bad, big BAD :crying:
If you wan't xposed then I recommend this apk from SolarWarez.

Android Go Custom ROM for S II Plus?

Following the news of the Android Go release, I wondered if it would be possible for someone to port it to this old device:
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-go-news/
I think it would be awesome. Would it be possible or are we still missing something important?
The s2 plus community has died. I can do a port when it comes around, but without support i can't do anything.
A Bad Guy said:
This device has lack of support
See s dous 2 forum , the same chip device with this phone
8.0 : Yes
Miui 8 : Yes
This device is quite good , but real fact there is less real dev for this phone since ghsr
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
OT:
In that case, will porting a s duos 2 rom for s2+ work?
A Bad Guy said:
Maybe . My friend have tried to port s2 plus to s dous 2 and it works so i thought you can try
About 8.0 , I'm not sure . This dev didnt have an available oreo kernel that can booted oreo rom ( I saw @matteo0026 just managed to made it bootloop )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What about miui8? Will it worth a try?
Android oreo (8.0) of s dous 2 is highly unstable (just booted that's all) . Any way, it will be good, if someone could upstream kernel of s2+ (unfortunately no active expert developers fr s2+ , who could easily fix the rejects during upstreaming (or upgradeing))

Just checked s dous 2 forum & I can say that u r 100% correct. They got really good developers & good support
They even fixed screenshot & recent thumbnail issues of nougat rom (which is also a common bug for s2+)
Hats off

I think andoid go sources are out
https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/development/rom-pixel-experience-edition-t3717869
Moto G has AOSP based android go (8.1) nw.
But we lack dev's & support. So andoid go may end up in our dreams
A Bad Guy said:
There is one dev still working , i think so

Yes true.
We can't force anyone to work on a rom. Its all up to them.
So lets hope for better
Also Upgradeing kernal to 3.4.xx or 3.10.xx from 3.0.101 is necessary for android go or miui 8.
If anyone of u guys have a knowledge or experinece about kernal porting (or kernal upgrade) , pls try to port a kernal (can take committs from s duos 2) to our device
A Bad Guy said:
No no no
I think you are wrong
3.0.101 is enough for both , but it will takes a lot of cherry pick commit to boot up oreo or go ( more than 100 commits i thought ) . 3.4 and 3.10 just make the way to oreo and go easier ( maybe less than 50 commits )
3.0.101 is also enough for miui 8 , but i think the way this phone dev's port it is completely WRONG , that's why it cant able to booted up
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If u have enough knowledge about these stuff's (port &upgrade),why don't you try upgradeing or port
A Bad Guy said:
Be smart , I not good at cherry pick
About miui , i not sure it will have bugs fixed . Problem not caused by kernel , it is caused by libs
But if you wanna try , i give you suggest : unpack boot of both rom ( cm13 s2 plus , miui 8 trend plus ) replace zimage of cm 13 ( s2 plus ) with miui 8 ( trend plus ) , repack boot ( miui 8 ) , flash and let c if it will it boot .

I already tried miui8 porting. But end up in bootloop.
When I took logcat, I saw a error of something like "bradcom tv error" .
A Bad Guy said:
Replace lib android runtime.so , android server.so , media_jni.so
Works ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I already tried that. Not working.
I think a expert porter / developer is required
I quit working on it due to so many rejects
A Bad Guy said:
Try to port from s3
Just edit boot
Let c will it booted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In-case of s3, many changes are needed (I am not a good developer ).
Since community is dead, there is no use in porting any rom to these device. Even if I try that, I will not get any support from s2+ community to fix the bugs. (I know that ever since I tried to fix screenshot bug of nougat rom. Only I got support from ghsr & satcom886)

i really liked the MIUI 7 but it's a old android version.
MIUI 8 is a great alternative

I hope the s2 community does't die completely, do you know where i can download the 3.4.xx kernel for the S2?

How easy would it be to compile a LineageOS 13 rom for this phone?

I'm looking to buy a cheap, but still good Android phone, and the Exynos Galaxy S7 fits the bill, but there's one small issue.
There's no LineageOS 13 roms, but I looked around, and discovered this page https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/herolte/build
It says you can only build off of a CyanogenMod 14.1 build, but that's Android 7.1.x, not 6.0.1.
Is it possible for someone like me with no experience to create something like this that doesn't exist?
A lot is possible if you want to put in the time and effort. Not sure why you need Android 6 though. Stock firmware was updated through 8.

Just want to use the CyanogenMod Theme Engine
Maybe port the features you want and not an entire OS build? Sometimes it isn't that hard to make something compile in a similar environment.

Galaxy S7 SM-G930F: what the best custom rom?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F what is the best custom rom?
I want to use VoLTE with my 4G connection and use all sensors and hardware of my phone. What's the best rom available? The address book uses always google account so i can continue to save my contacts on google? photos are saved on google photos? or stay only in gallery?
I use "the galaxy project" ROM becouse looks very smooth and nice. This rom has 1 great option "edge backlight" And got every samsung apps , include camera app.
May be not the best, but based on the latest Android 11 update. LineageOS 18 from LineageOS 18 on Samsung Galaxy S7. I have not tested it yet, it is freshly installed without the Android 11 GApps
Updated Feb. 16, 2021: I replaced to the best LineageOS available for Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F: alexndr's ROM.
If you want everything working, ALEXNDR is the best one:
[ROM][G930F/FD][ALEXNDR] * U8EUE1 * DevBase v7.4 * Encryption support [Jul-10]
Important notes for Developers / Chefs !!! This ROM is NOT based on any other custom ROM. My work contains many original ideas and innovations that I introduced as the first in the ROM development (see "Changelist" in post #2). Of course, it...
forum.xda-developers.com
I studied alexndr's custom ROM (Android Pie) and replaced the previously installed LineageOS v18. Newer does not necessarily mean better. Thanks for the hint to mooms.

[Magisk Module] Enable RAW capture for GCam (A20 & A20e)

This Module enables RAW Capture on the Galaxy A20 and Galaxy A20e, and changes the camera Hardware Level from Limited to Full.
RAW Capture is required for most GCams to work.
For information about GCam, go to this thread.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How does it work?
It works by replacing the library located at /vendor/lib/libexynoscamera3.so with an edited one. For reverse engineering enthusiasts, here is the patch applied to the library.
Prerequisites
- Magisk v20.4 or newer
- Android 11 vendor and kernel (Not compatible with versions of the Eureka Kernel older than 9.0)
Installation
Install as a normal Magisk Module, through Magisk Manager or TWRP.
Troubleshooting
Camera doesn't work, shows Black Screen
Make sure you are using a compatible Android 11 kernel and vendor.
If this issue is happening after updating your firmware, please let me know.

great job, you should do one for the custom roms, i'm stuck on the samsung one cause this mod only works there, when i install in other roms the camera stops working

In which ROMs have you tried it? It should work on any as long as they use an Android 11 vendor and kernel.

Did those ROMs ask you to flash a custom kernel/vendor? If that's the case i'd suggest to try in phhusson's AOSP GSI with stock Android R kernel and vendor.
I can't test it on my phone right now as i don't have enough free space to make a TWRP backup.

The kernel used by that ROM is using the camera drivers from Android Q, that's why it's not compatible with this module. You will have to use another kernel or build its kernel without this commit.
Edit: This module may work with the OneUI 3 variant of the Eureka Kernel, but you will most likely run into some issues. Feel free to try it and tell me if it worked or not.
Screenshots
Thread updated. Added module for the Galaxy A20e.
Version 2.1 of the module released, the biggest change is that there is no longer a need to change the Black Level in GCam settings, so GCams (or other camera apps) that don't have this option should now take photos without pink tint.
Full changes can be found here.
@TBM 13
Hi, i am a member of the Eureka Team. As you may know, we make AOSP ROMs too, but we were using Q camera blobs on our vendor, till now, and we are going to switch to R camera blobs.
I'm wondering if we can use this module's library for our team's roms, we will credit you correctly. On our posts and etc.

If you use Android 10 with an 11 vendor it should work fine. I don't know if it's possible though, maybe with PHH's GSI.
