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.

Hello i have a Galaxy S6 and i want to know why all the people are talking about no support in CM12 for an Exynos device,
i had a Galaxy S3 and is Exynos too, it has fully functional support for CM12.
The S6 is still a new device, and devs need their time to develop ROMs based on a new SoC.
Just give it time. There will be a stable CM12 ROM for the S6 soon.
As for the exynos specific part. Devs have to reverse engineer it to see how it works since Samsung is pretty against supporting modding. They what phone devs are as Nintendo is to other console creators.
Good evening XDA community, could anyone be as kind as to inform me of any known roms in the S6 section that also will work for the G920a. They're only seems to be about 3 roms compatible with this particular variant. thanks!
I am planning to get SGS7, NOT Edge version. I kinda hate it actually. HEre is my question. Is bootloader unlocked ? Cause I can't live without my CM13. And if So May be you guys can recommend Snapdragon 820 based Phone that can run homebrew roms. Right now I am on OP2 and I simply can't handle it anymore after 5 minutes in any game phone slowing down to around 10 FPS, unplayable condition.
Thank you in advance.
The bootloader is currently not unlockable on the Snapdragon 820 version. On the Exynos version, root and (I think) TWRP is available, but definitely no CM support.
Bottom line, this isn't the device for you if you want CM13

Thank you very much for your answer. I also looking into upcoming HTC M10 and LG G5, what do you know / think of them ?
Thank you once again !
Check the Cyanogenmod website to see if your (future) device is supported by CM.
Currently the S7 (Edge) are not supported, but that's just a matter of time.
Galaxy S7 has so far the best camera ever Samsung has introduced. Being Water-resistant is an additional advantage for that people like it, awesome battery and Gear VR system as well. who use a costly phone like a crap.
Help required for a newby:
I bought a Galaxy SM G9500 (Snapdragon) in Thailand and it's not compatible with Aussie apps or app store. (Even Samsung switch)
Is there a standard Aussie ROM out there??
I've never rooted a phone before so am a bit nervous as you can imagine!!

I did find this XDA post 'TWRP is Now Available for the Snapdragon Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+'
Any idea if this is what I'm looking for?

Okay il just give you the important details, the snapdragon variant, which you have has a locked boot loader which means you are very limited on what you can do, twrp will not work, don't even try it, you will mess your phone up.
Root is available but there are bugs, such the phone not charging beyond 80%.
Because of those above things, rom development for the snapdragon variant is almost non existent, and a lot of that is down to having a snapdragon version.
I'm also a bit surprised there are next to no development activity (ROMs) for the Snapdragon variant. It seems like Exynos is getting all the love.
I was ' ' this close to pulling the trigger on a G9500 (or even N9500) but have now noticed there is just about no community support for these. :crying:
Worth noting the Exynos 8895 doesn't have a NPU whereas the Snapdragon does (Hexagon DSP). Something becoming much more important as onboard AI takes a larger role.
List of device variants
In other news: It's also a bit odd that the S8 and S8+ landing pages have incorrect/incomplete device descriptions.
Yes, it's frustrating that poor old Snapdragon is not getting the same attention!
Judging by your your Modelnumber you should have the Chinese Version with unlocked bootloader. So it seems that you can flash different Chinese and Hong Kong Firmwares, some of them apparently having the Playstore. It sounds pretty complicated and is a lot to read: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/samsung-galaxy-s8--s8-cross-device-development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-s8-s8-snapdragon-t3636718
Good luck :good:

Wow, thank you I'll check it out.
Hi A22 5G users,
Is the Samsung A22 5G supporting Good Lock. If yes, supporting all modules or limited. The support is official or unofficial? Many Thanks in Advance.
If they show on the Gallaxy store, install and work... then they are supported.
Some regions aren't supported even if some regional model variants are.
Level of the firmware update also effects what can be used.
yes, i know. I do not have the model, so is why asking if anyone who is using it might answer

I hear you. Forget asking Samsung Tech support... they suck.
Try a Google search for that model/good lock and you pull up some of the Samsung User threads about it. See what they are saying.
Samsung A22 5G support these modules if they come from moded/unofficial version, I have the phone and I run these modules
