[GUIDE] Porting Apps from different ROMs - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion

I am currently running superstock rom v1.2 right now. I have tried v2.5 also and liked it very much. But theres a bug with the camera app that it opens all pictures of the phone rather than opening just the camera folder.
The other thing that i don't like in v2.5 is the multiwindow feature.
Now i have a question that can i port these two apps from the MM version Rom to N version by replacing files in the rom or through any other method?
If yes please guide me with that. It will be a perfect rom if these two things could be sought out.

[Q] Missing featured apps ??

I need your help guys and devs for one problem. I had to downgrade from wildhero (2.3.3 sense) to 2.1 cuz I needed more stable rom for a few days. I choosed one and flashed it, but the market didn't show most of the featured apps, like Skype, My Tracks, Google Sky Map, Xda devs, Tapatalk and many more. I used Search and it's the same - they're not in the results.I thought its location problem but it isn, cuz after a lot flashing different roms I haven't any problems till now. Tried 3 different 2.1 sense roms - its the same - same missing apps. Now when I flashed back this wildhero 2.3.3 sense rom (ver1.2.1) everything is fine , like it should be. I think its 2.3.3 Sense problem , somehow it restricts old android`s version market.. its wired... could you help me somehow ?? please its important to know !!
The Android market will not display any apps which are written specifically for newer OS versions on older ones:
http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/versioning.html
Man , I know that, Im not so stupid...Imagine you downgrade from Froyo to Eclair and when U open the Market - most of the usual apps U can see in Eclair are misiing. Thats whats going on here.

Which ROM should I flash?

Hey Guys, I have been strolling through different ROMs for GT 18262, but i dont know if they are totally stable or not, so i thought i would create this thread where all this info could be there.
I wnat to know whether there is a rom which fullfills this requirements:
1. Stable
2. Everything works including Camera.
3. Support for swap.
4. Possibly a higher Android Version than stock rom and not just themed.
Maybe I am asking too much, but i have Cosmic Rom with its final version flashed but i have this problem that the ROM would just stop responding and even after restarting i cant even unlock screen cause possible screen wouldn't respond. I tried many others like Monster Rom build 3, but the microphone didnt work when calling but worked on WhatsApp Call(lol). So please help me

M using cm11....and its best stable and customized rom ...u can later change the theme to lollipop and thats really good......imrunning this rom from over 5 months and have not a found a single bug
I already tried it, but apps like Gmail would crash when i open any email or even opinion rewards would just force close itself. Even some parts of Hike Messenger dont seems to work on it.
Any developer thinking to port Oreo Go Edition for this device! it will be a big help for this device.
Some bugs

Hey!
I recently got an S8 (exynos) with Oreo that i have now rooted using magisk and TWRP.
I'm looking at custom roms but its hard to find the right one.
By browsing through threads here at XDA i usually just see the problems people are having, rather than positive experiences. (Since you are more likely to write when you actually have a question or need help..)
If anyone is using any custom rom now on S8 based on Oreo, please share your positive experiences and let us hear the downsides as well!
I'm mostly looking for a way to completely rid my phone of all bloatware, trackers and so on. I basically just want an empty OS with the normal apps for calling (contact book for example), and google play so i can find new apps there if i want to.
Facebook, gmail, google, samsung apps i would prefer to never see in my phone.
If the rom can be installed using TWRP thats the best for me since that's all i know so far.
Thanks for any tips you might have!

Most of the Samsung apps have been taken out, and replaced with Google alternatives. What you're left with is a noticeably faster and smoother experience. My battery performance has improved also. Well worth checking out if you want a 'Barebones' 'Google like' offering.

Alright! Great stuff thanks for the tip!
I installed renovate ice on my s8 this weekend and so far its perfect for me. I was able to remove basically every single app from samsung and google, leaving me with what feels like a really clean phone.
So far i have not encountered any single issue or problem with the ROM. I will post here if i do or if i decide to try another one in the future.
Is this compatible with G955N?

If you mean renovate ice then yes. Im using it on my s8.
I've been using CarHDRom for many years.
Many possibilities to customize the Rom and 1A support!

I'm looking to replace my stock rom on exynos. One that could improve battery life.
Still few options (comparing to Snapdragon versions), sadly.
Hey man, how is your experience so far with renovate ice? Any noticeable issue with it? I'm considering using this rom but im seeking for advices first. Thanks

What ROM instead SuperMan ROM

Because the best for me was SuperMan ROM is End of Life I want change for ROM what have actualizations.
I Don't want ROM based on Lineage OS - I dont like this ROMs
I looking ROM based on stock ROM. I don't need much futures and configuration
I looking Rom what have bookmark/additional screen with UpDay app, where I can change top bar (side of the clock, what is in top bar etc.), fingerprint unlock after boot.
Is now ROM what can instead SuperMan ROM?
What ROM You recommend?

I've also used SuperMan-ROM, SuperMan-ROM was a rom with a lot customizations and tweaks that you could set to your own wishes. I don't think there is a rom available at this moment that provides the same customizations and tweakers that is not EOL.
At this moment I've installed LightRom. I've used it for 2 days now, runs great and haven't had any problems so far. I do miss some tweaks/customizations that were available on the SuperMan-ROM, but maybe that is just a matter of getting used to the new rom.
I've also tried LineageOS, but didn't liked it due to some bugs with calling in general and bluetooth music/calling.
The rom The Galaxy Project looks promising, but haven't had the change to try it out.
There are some more roms available but I didn't check them out yet, so I can not say anything about them. You can see a rom list for the Galaxy S7 here: Rom List

HI! Great post question, I am asking the same question. I WAS using Superman ROM and LOVED IT! but then EOL came out and security patches were OLD and scared me. My main use no with S7 is protecting it and prolonging its life span. So which ROM is best for:
1. De-bloated - enough of jam packing crap into a phone ppl dont need or want and not giving them a way to delete it for good!
2. Updated security patches
3. Maximum Performance
Is it possible to STILL use Superman ROM final edition and flash security patches?
Samsung has stopped the monthly security updates, so only quarterly security patches will be available. Also Samsung is not releasing Android 9 for the Galaxy S7.
For this, some developers are working on Note FE ports. The Note FE ported roms are based on Android 9 and do get their monthly security patches.
At this moment these Note FE ports are very populair: (keep in mind that there are more roms available and probably new ones will come)
NoteFE port - BlackDiamond
NoteFE port - LightRom
Always read the first post and see if you like the rom based of the description.
I think that LightRom is the most debloated rom. I've used LightRom before, it was a decent rom, but it felt like debloating meant replacing Samsung apps with Google apps. It was more battery efficient than the Samsung Stock ROM, but not by a alot.
I don't know which rom has more performance.
I'm going to try the BlackDiamond rom, it looks very promising. But in the end it is always personal preference, you should read the first post of a rom and see if you like it. If you do, you can test it and see if you really like it.
Superman ROM is End Of Life, so it doesn't get updated anymore. You can not flash security patches separately. If you want SupermanRom with the latest security patches, then you'll have to do all the merging/programming work yourself. Also one last thing, you ask for maximum performance, but Superman-ROM isn't maximum performance at all. It's only just a little debloated, basically removed some apps that can be downloaded from app store again. And it also has RomControl, which makes a rom customizable but slower and less battery efficient.

I need the s10e's stock camera app apk

So, I'm running LineageOS 19.1 and it's stock camera app lacks functionality, and I don't want to use Gcam, I would like to use samsung's stock camera, if someone could provide me with a way to get it, would help me tremendously.

@elJaberJaber I'm curious if the stock camera apk works on Lineage, please report back about it.
You can't use the Samsung stock camera app on an AOSP rom as it lacks the proper framework for the apk to work with , you can only use it in other OneUI based roms .
In the odd chance that I am wrong, I'd love to see it happen.

didn't get to test it out, I'm sorry, I've managed to brick my phone, so I reverted to the original ROM and rooted it to uninstall bloatware.

That's what I thought.
However, for the Sony Xperia Z3 series there was a port of the stock camera app that included the needed parts of the framework to work on AOSP/Lineage based roms.
It would be interesting if this could be possible on the Samsung S10 series too.

Hasn't been done yet, your best bet is to talk to the Dev that made the rom , Linux or Ivan or whoever it was and also with Corsicanu, as he's very well skilled working with Samsung devices and tinkering with it's apps , you can find him in various groups and on telegram as well so give it a shot and ask him a question.
Hi everyone, can i import the framework on a different rom? im using an S22
