Yet again, all thanks go to @jrkruse for this one. I have modified his zip to work on the Verizon S7 flat. The ROM is silky smooth since it uses the factory kernel. The instructions have been tweaked to work for the Flat. I can confirm that SafetyNet passes using this method.
A MASSIVE thanks goes to @hunteditor for this. I haven't been around XDA much these past few weeks and haven't made a new thread for the U-ROM. It has been long overdue. He took on the annoyance of modifying the instructions and download links to work.

People ask if they can root this Rom. The answer is yes, but why would you want to? You get all the benefits of rooting and still have official status. Plus, you get the outstanding battery life of a non-rooted S7.

An Explanation of what this is. I have found a way to manipulate system files on a stock rom and not loose system official status. This Allows Samsung Pay and all safetynet checking apps to function. This Rom is not rooted just modified.

S7 Nougat root kernel
Install Instructions From Any Build:
Warning: This will wipe your device. Some of these instructions are redundant, but they will ensure that everything goes as planned. If you don’t follow them to the T, don’t complain.
1) Unzip G930UUEU4BQD2_G930UOYM4BQD2_VZW.zip. Boot the phone into download mode (volume down, home, and power) then flash all four files (BL, AP, CP, and HOME_CSC) with ODIN. The phone will reboot into recovery and throw an error. Reboot into download mode and reflash HOME_CSC again. – Thanks @thefirst__noel
2) Don’t bother logging into any accounts, as the phone will get wiped again. Copy the FlashFire.apk, AP_G930UUEU4BQD2_CL10860000_QB13198947_REV02_user_ low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5, and UFirm_Multi_Carrier_Hybrid_NoNaMe_PlayStore_BS_Free_V14_VZWS7FLAT.zip to Internal Storage. – Thanks @appye
3) Make sure secure boot is turned off!!! Shut off the phone and boot into download mode (volume down, home, and power). Flash the S7 Nougat root kernel in the AP slot in Odin.
4) When the phone reboots, unlock developer options and enable USB debugging. Unzip the S7_SU_2_79_Root_Unroot_WO_Tweaks.zip and run root.bat from your PC. May need to right-click and run as administrator.
5) Now install FlashFire. In FlashFire, select add Flash Firmware Package and choose AP_G930UUEU4BQD2_CL10860000_QB13198947_REV02_user_ low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5 and make sure all partitions are checked.
Then add Flash Zip or OTA and choose UFirm_Multi_Carrier_Hybrid_NoNaMe_PlayStore_BS_Fre e_V14_VZWS7FLAT.zip and tap mount system when FlashFire asks.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: MAKE SURE TO UNCHECK INJECT ROOT AFTER ADDING THE ZIP! – Thanks @dclutter1
Click Add Wipe and choose Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache and choose Format Cache Also select wipe SuperSU image. Make sure wipe is at end of flash sequence. The sequence should be AP file first then Zip second and Wipe cache last.
6) The phone will restart and FlashFire will flash the firmware first, then the Aroma Installer will start.
7) In Aroma, select wipe ALL data (DO NOT KEEP SU) – See notes below.
8) The phone will say custom status on first boot, but it goes away after setup and reboot.
The phone may take up to 20 minutes to boot the first time, so be patient.
If you reflash the ROM, you must flash the AP file in FlashFire at the same time.
Notes:
* Do not use Package Disabler Pro if you choose NoNaMe mods in Aroma.
* If you are installing the S8 apps, you may run into force closes. Your best bet is to pull down on the notification panel, click the settings button, and go into applications and clear data for everything that is force closing. If you keep data, you may run into issues with Advanced Calling and other features. Keep data at your own risk. If you don’t wipe data, then please don’t post issues in the thread.
* I was able to keep my settings and data by choosing keep data in Aroma and still passed SafetyNet. I can’t guarantee that this will work for everyone, but you can try if you want. This probably will not work if you are coming from MM. If you decide to take this route and have issues, do a full wipe and reinstall before posting any problems.
* If you get constant application errors saying "IMS service has stopped" and "com.sec.epdg has stopped", boot into recovery using the Power+VolUp+Home combination. You will likely get a "No command" error screen. Let it on that screen (30-60 seconds) and it will eventually go into the recovery menu. Wipe data and cache in recovery. – thanks paul.miner

Thanks @DJ XtAzY for the Boot_Recovery image.
Does this ROM come with Google Pixel Dialer, Google Camera etc Google stuff in Aroma to choose from ?
I didn't install those options, but I believe they are there, along with some S8 app options as well. I've been running this for a week. It's silky smooth with great battery life. Every time I pick up my phone now I can't help thinking this is how our phones should be. I'm loving this ROM.
Here's the boot recovery file I created that should be added to the first post:

Those that want to remove or update ad blocking host file will need to follow jrkruse post, with one modification:

I also modified the updater_script so that the BS Free section of the script will remove more of Google Apps, such as Photos, Hangout, but I kept the Camera plugins and the Gallery's photo editor and video playback, etc. I also sorted that section of the script by alphabetical, it was a pain to see what the script removes and keep when everything is out of order when going through the list. If anyone's interested of that updater_script, let me know.

I added this to the second post. Thanks!
As for the updater_script, I planned to redo it to fix the gallery and video issues on the next version. I didn't want to upload an update with these fixes, then release one right after when the latest ROM is available with the new firmware, because that usually ends up being the case lol. I'd definitely be interested in looking at your script.
I feel like I'm going crazy here, any help would be appreciated. I downloaded everything and flashed all four files (BL, AP, CP, and HOME_CSC) with ODIN. The phone reboots into recovery and throws an error. I reboot into download mode and reflash HOME_CSC again. Then, it just gets stuck on the SAMSUNG screen. I've tried reflashing multiple times, and even let the phone sit for over an hour in case it was just taking a long time to boot. But I can't ever get it past the SAMSUNG screen. Any ideas?
@CVertigo1
I was able to install this ROM.
I noticed a very weird thing. In the attached screenshot, there is a small white tab at top of the screen in scroll area.
Why does it exist ? Can we hide it ?

Thanks a lot. I was able to hide it.
Another weird thing is, in the ROM control app, the button size is enlarged. Not sure why (attached).
I was using other ROM of yours earlier and in it the size was correct. Any thoughts?
Also, a word of caution during installation-
When I flashed everything from ODIN first and booted, the phone downloaded an update(OTA)
I accidentally said Update. It went ahead and installed it.
Booted back fine, was able to root, flashfire, aroma. After aroma however, it got stuck in boot animation. Rebooted it, got stuck and would not go ahead.
Needed to factory reset from recovery and start over.
Some of the cursors are a little awkward with the modded systemUI. You'll notice it everywhere, especially Google.

I think it is blocking 'Here Maps' App and I'd like to exclude this from blocking.

I use Adguard, so I don't use the ad blocking in the ROM. I don't know how to help on that. Did you see post #2 about ad blocking? If I remember correctly, you can edit the file and use adb to push it, but I'm not certain.

That is really up to jrkruse if he fixes it in a later update. Switching ROM versions won't fix it. If it's a huge bother to you, then re-flash the ROM and don't choose the modded systemUI.
I am currently running Stang5litre Edition 5.0 s7 v3 MM ROM on an AT&T S7 Flat and I believe the ROM is based on the S7 Edge . I am trying to flash this ROM using the OP instructions and keep getting this error in Odin on Step 1. The phone never reboots, it just stays in recovery. Any suggestions?

Its cause this ROM is nougat based and for a strange reason you can't flash nougat roms directly on top of MM ones. The usual fix is to flash the stock firmware for your phone, try to get the OTA update for nougat, then follow the steps. Also just giving a fair warning you can't downgrade back down to MM after the nougat update so you wont be able to go back to Stang5litre until he updates that to nougat.

Hey I have a bit of a bug report. Was messing around with the settings in NNRomControl and finally got things the way I like it. I went to go restart the phone and when it booted back up System UI either Stopped or Crashed and didn't restart itself. Did a little testing and found that it was the System UI Tuner Mod. After enabling any of the settings and restarting the phone System UI would immediately crash on startup.

[Rom Add-On] Clean & Stable Add-On For All Stock Firmware V4[21/07/11][New Market]
Please Do Not post this elsewhere
This will not work on newbie5 modded stock rom
Hi All.
I have made this rom add-on to try to keep the device as clean and stable as possible. I could add custom boot screens, launcher (like launcher pro) and much more, but I have only added the essentials. As i think everyone has different tastes and the extras are easily installed. I have chosen to use the software tool which is part of the stock firmware, this insures easy installation on any os. No usb recovery drivers or clockwork mod needed!
V4 Rom Add-On includes:
Market (New)
Google Talk
SuperUser
3D Gallery
Google Calendar
Visionary
YouTube App
(removed titanium backup due to size restraint, can be installed through market)
V4 can be installed over the top of V3, titanium backup will remain
V3 Rom Add-On includes:
Market (Old)[Full]
SuperUser
3D Gallery
Google Calendar
Visionary
Titanium BackUp
YouTube App
If you cannot sync contacts or calendar. Please use this fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12385012&postcount=131
I have updated the rom add-on now so if you use the version with -1 at the end, it contains the fix.
Optional .ZIP's
Small Taskbar (For Advent v1.09 and v1.10 firmware only)
Gmail
Contacts
Google Maps can be downloaded from the market
I highly recommend launcher pro, its available from the market. It is a lot better than the stock launcher, and the payed for version has some great widgets.
Button savior, also available from the market. Is also for me a must for the vega, it adds the missing buttons as on-screen buttons.
This V3 update is more of a clean up. There was a lot of confusion over the multiple .rar parts and some compatibility issues with v1.10 POV firmware. I have now removed the small taskbar and added it as a update, so now my rom add-on is fully compatible with the pov firmwares and does not require multiple .rars. Advent firmware users who want the small taskbar, simply flash the Small_Taskbar.zip. If you have already installed my v2 version there is no need to update, as i said its more of a clean up. There are a few added apps, but they are easily installed.
Install Instructions:
1 - Download the .zip you wish to flash. Copy the .zip to "software update" on your SDcard.
2 - Navigate to settings/software tool/software update on vega, and touch the .zip
3 - Device will reboot and a "out of a box" android will appear and install the parts.
You will not lose any of your apps/data from this process.
Please make sure you have sufficient power to apply Add-On, i would recommend 50%
Root Instructions:
Root is required for some apps. Eg Button savior requires this for it to function fully.
1 - Open visionary
2 - Touch "Temproot now" the screen will go blank for a few seconds and return to the visionary page. Then click it again. (i have no idea why it is required to do this twice, but in my experience it is necessary)
3 - Touch "Attempt Permroot now" After a few seconds a super user prompt will appear, allow the prompt. Then device will reboot and it should be rooted.
If Flash does not work, navigate to /etc/shuttle_data and run the flash.apk. That will reinstall the included flash version.
If all apps are not showing in the market please follow ice-mn tip. Many thanks to him for this.
ice-mn said:
Since there are several post discussing this I have opened this thread instead answering the same on all of them.
To get all apps (at least all I have looked for ) you only have to follow the steps described.
1. Go to Manage Applications (in settings/applications)
2. Press the running tab and select market (if market is not running execute it)
3. Select Market from running apps. And:
Press Clear Cache
Press Force Stop
4. Go back and Select Google Services Framework. And:
Press Clear Data (answer ok on the message warning)
Press Force Stop
5. Try to run Market. You will get an error message.
6. Reboot the device and run market twice (the first one you will get the error message again).

Hi All.
I have been playing with the market enabler (thanks to demonknight9). I have added the small taskbar framework to the update. so now you can have the market and small taskbar on a stock v1.08 vega. More gmail apps can be downloaded from the market. As demonknight9 says its very easy to install. No need for CWM.
1 - Download market_update0.zip file and put on storage card.
2 - Navigate to settings/software tool/software update, and navigate to location of market_update0.zip.
3 - Run the market_update0.zip
4 - Device will reboot and install the parts.
You will not lose any of your apps/data from this process.
It looks like flashing things to are vegas is easy, can be done from the software update. The zip is unsigned. More things can be added but i thought i would keep it simple to start with.
Hope its useful
I have made one with flash,spare parts and superuser as well, but it is larger than i can upload to xda dev. if anybody has somewhere i can upload i would be gratefull.
EDIT:I have added the flash.apk to enable flash, visionary to fully root the device and spare parts to disable compatibility mode for games to the attachments.

Good idea to add the bits. Why don't you upload it to fileape? Easy peasy to open an account. Just chose a username and a pass, no email, no confirmation just a plane doddle. go here; www.fileape.com
Upload it to mediafire, you dont even need to register an account to use it
How long does the market updater take, my vega been hanging for about 10 minutes, is this normal?

Thats very odd. I have re-flashed 4 different versions in the last 10 mins with no problems. Try to hold the power button down for six seconds to totally shut down. Plug the device into the power. Then try a reboot. If that does not work then you are going to have to go into recovery and re-flash the stock rom. Sounds like the flash got interrupted for some reason.

Downloading now! Second rom I will be flashing in 2 days never thought this would happen on this phone, my Crack flashing habit is sated. Thank you.
I flashed last night and sat there waiting for 10 min. (Your boot img is pretty sweet ; the 3rd selection on aroma)
Did not do anything but set my phone overnight on the charger even rebooted after the phone finished downloading my apps
This morning says system ui has failed and cannot even put my code in to unlock
I'm resetting everything once more hopefully to fix the issue
edits do not set in to system. some items have changed color and some things just don't work i'm going to wait but this idea is pretty awesome but i'll try again in a couple of updates
haven't finished download my 54 apps but from 100% to 50% and still have a lot of apps to download maybe its just my phone
keep up the good work though this seems like my next go to rom
Does this have all the fixes to make the phone cool and fast baked in?

It has a bunch of customizations and themed icons to match based on this rom but you have all these options with his app and in aroma when first starting up your phone.

Hi guys. I have a Sprint S7 and flashed this rom using FlashFire. I chose the Sprint variant in Aroma. When it rebooted, I was stuck on the Galaxy S7 splashscreen. It did not advance at all after I waited for awhile. Is there something I did wrong? Or does this rom as of now only work with the Verizon variant? Thanks!

I recommend everyone put the Flashfire AP zip and Rom Zip on your internal storage as the AP file is so large that it may not be read properly do too limitations of some SD Cards. When you select AP file in Firmware there should be 4 partitions that are selected. If not then you have a bad download or need to have AP file on internal storage

could you implement removal of gmail, google hangouts, google play movies, and google photos as manual debloat options in your aroma/updater script in next release.
also don't know if it is applicable, but maybe add an option to have ad free youtube option

*MUST HAVE ROOT*
First thing you will need to do is *have root, and TWRP* set up on the device.
If you don't have that done yet this WILL NOT be possible for you here. If that is the case there is a great guide here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-twrp-v3-lg-stylo-3-plus-t3649621
The LG Camera works wonderfully in my opinion, but, the Google Camera has a couple features I like, that the stock camera simply doesn't. Photo Sphere, and Lens Blur.
Panorama is great, but it only works in straight lines. With Photo Sphere you can take omni-directional pictures. Pretty cool, and worth the effort to spoil your phone and yourself with such a great feature!
Continuing on... let's begin shall we?
You will need to head over to OpenGApps to download the GApps "Aroma" for ARM, Android: 7.0.
Save this to your phone's internal or SD (somewhere easy for you to find later in TWRP to flash)
Use a BuildProp editor (I personally used the one within ROM Toolbox Lite)
Find the setting called "RO.BUILD.TYPE"
Change the value from user to eng
This will want you to reboot. Do it.
You should now see a red text overlay on your home screen saying eng and some other info.
This step is ONLY to by-pass the signature check when attempting to install. (which will otherwise fail in user mode)
Now reboot into recovery (TWRP)
Go to "Install" and select your GApps file (open_gapps-arm-7.0-aroma-20171214.zip)
once it runs, select *only* the Google Camera.
-Tap Next.
If you want to keep the Stock Camera (I would, at least until we are 100% sure you won't have any issues later, and need it again, since I haven't really tested this out for more than just an hour or so since figuring it out..) then
Check the box for :
+CameraStock
-Tap Next
Nothing to do on this page, we don't want to remove anything.
-Tap next again
Now we are on Advanced Options
Not sure if it is needed (haven't tested) or not, but just to be safe, I checked the ForceClean box.
-Tap Next and Install.
For me, It hung a little at the end of install.. just tap or drag on the screen and it will come to its senses lol.
Reboot to System
You should now have a working google camera installed.
*But, Wait Just A Minute! We Aren't Done Yet!*
Now we need to go back into BuildProp and set RO.BUILD.TYPE back to user
Reboot again.
Now your Google Camera is broken due to lack of permissions!? No problem. Simply head into your settings>general>apps and select the newly installed Google Camera, go into it's permissions and you'll notice they are all off. Turn them back on.
DONE. Working Google Camera on your Rooted Stock Android 7.0, 10c/10d firmware!

Enjoy the clean rom
Tested and working on 10e firmware.
After installing, TWRP says there was an error, gapps aroma said it installed, but after restarting phone google camera was there and working.
After changing ro.build.type from eng to user I did not have to reset permissions. They stayed the same.
After changing the build prop stuff I never got the red text on my home screen. And after the install I had no errors but Google camera wasn't installed.
Hello Guys,
I come in need of a help,
I'm writing from my computer now,
Yesterday my phone was working fine,
Today morning, I updated the apps on my phone; amongst the updates was android system webview.
After a reboot, my phone is unresponsive, it won't open any of the apps from that point.
I reboot again, since keyboard doesn't work, I used the OTG cable to use the physical keyboard to enter the password and get in. Tried entering setting to uninstall that crap app, settings is unresponsive.
No SIM services, no keyboard, no fingerprint, no settings etc.. basically nothing works and everything says "unresponsive and asks to either wait or close".
The only thing I have now is TWRP Recovery, and I'm inside it now.
I've wiped Cache + Dalvik / ART Cache : Result still same, nothing works.
I mailed [email protected] (which is provided in the app's "Developer" section) about this and got a reply that the mail is no longer being monitored.
Can someone please let me know how I can remove android system webview by using TWRP ? So that I can enter the phone back again as normal..
Device Details:
Lenovo K8 Note
Android 7.1.1 Nougat, (Never updated the OS)
Device has been rooted and has recovery options.
I think you can find WebView module in Magisk respiratory so I suggest you give that a try. Flash it and I think it will be fine as long as you have Magisk installed, of course.

Thanks, I couldn't quite understand that..
I've never read/seen a need for Magisk so far.. so may I know what is the procedure to be done here...?
I do read Magisk is a systemless Root, (I already have SuperSu, is that the same functionality? (though I can't open anything that is))
Find the Magisk zip on Google and flash it over TWRP.
Head over to the Magisk module site and you will be able to find an alternate WebView module you can flash. It will be in zip format so I guess you will need USB to transfer those files to your phone since you cannot use it to download modules.

Give it a try and come to tell if you have sorted it out.
If not, you will probably need to flash your ROM again hoping the application won't stay updated but to back to stock version.

Oh, one more thing,
Does this procedure mean, I'll lose TWRP and SuperSu?
Can I not just downgrade the android system webview manually itself?

You won't lose TWRP but I am not sure about SuperSu since it's very old and people don't use it from the time Magisk appeared. I don't think you will be able to have both TWRP and SuperSu.
It would be good for you to just uninstall the updates of WebView if you can use your phone at all. That would solve the problem.
TWRP basically is a menu what allows you to select and apply ADB and/or Fastboot commands.
SuperSU is a Superuser access management tool: it requires SU binary got installed on Android.
Both mentioned sofwares are completely different things, don't depend on each other.
BTW:
I always root Android without the need to make use of Magisk or SuperSU.
So, I went through these

So,
Is there a way to downgrade an app through recovery mode
or delete that app's data and start from scratch for that alone?
or is there a way to flash an old Android System Web View through TWRP?
Please help, I have spent the whole day trying to fix this.
I already have SuperSu and it seems if I need to goto Magisk (which is just for that other webview application, I have to do a lot of rolling back and applications going away, ) I don't want that..
Let's keep the Magisk idea as last resort and please let me know if there is any other way to delete the entire Android Webview related stuff and start from beginning.

Just because of one application?
I just want that android webview gone/replaced with a stable one, is that not possible without destroying everything?
Thanks everyone.
we have a solution,
In my case, uninstalling the Xposed framework fixed it for me..
So, while working on this issue I had made a flow map and a log of what is done and its results, may be someone else can benefit from it in the future..
Spoiler: Tries and results
Even starting the entering phone itself is a big issue, because the keyboard applications don't come up; fingerprint doesn't work on first boot as a security measure as well; connected physical keyboard to OTG to phone to enter password... then greeted with lots of errors of all the applications.
Asking people blowed over 'to buy a new phone'
Posted to Reddit, no replies
Posted to Google support, got crappy bot_ish answers; who even hires these people!
Posted to XDA, have some ideas worth trying
Unpacking the system web view.apk on computer gives crap details as it is almost completely encrypted.
Going rabbit hunting through the rabbit hole, checking each folders on "/"
found something similar /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
Quick google search confirms that I’m on the right path to finding it...
May be data or XML is somewhere too?
Deleted(copied and deleted) /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
Result, Same
Then Reverted
PS: Original Copy at ext_sdcard
Replaced the existing one (92.0.4515.115 with 90.0.4430.210)
Result, no changes.
Then reverted with the crappy original
May be adb will install properly?
Tried adb commands on phone on TWRP, doesn't work
Tried adb from computer to phone, unable to connect to phone.
Was doing it wrong, while in TWRP, I need to initiate "ADB Sideload" and then connect from PC (with Firewall allowed)
then "adb devices", shows connected device with serial number
after the above, the adb push keeps saying "error: connect failed: closed"
turning phone ON and connecting for additional settings (USB debugging) pops "mtp host failed" as soon as I wire..
Started the phone, switched over to Guest account, (oddly seems stuff there are kind of better with lesser error messages), tried launching playstore and wifi, both need password which I don't have, entering settings, hangs for a while, quickly go to apps and uninstall updates for android system web view.. web view becomes 0.0.1
results, fail
Created a temporary user account on phone whilst booting, (because of the observable lesser apps running if I switch over from main..)
added my gaccount on it,
launched playstore to update the android system web view..
the update is stuck at 60%~70 %each time and is unable to complete..
took the v90 application that is on pendrive, connected otg.. and started to install application manually from there..
it said, no space.. even though there is around 4 GB free... continued to disable other applications, such as chrome, youtube, drive etc..
still unable to install the v90 application
even installing other apps (sudoku example) have the same issue,
and then I see a popup that package manager has stopped working (aha! so that itself doesn't work, then can't install),
Went to see if I can change something on developer options, developer option wont come up even after 7+ taps.. hmm strange, may be only main account can have dev options.
While at it, swapped out the Gboard with older AOSP keyboard (retaining Fleksy though).
Rebooted and tried again.. no fix yet..
Atleast I don't have to switch to physical keyboard now for every reboot, since the inner older keyboard comes for first boot.
By TWRP, removed existing app and replaced with v87; doesn't seem to be any different, same errors...
Was about to install the Magisk but it seems to have lots and lots of catches to it, and things to-do before I can go to that...
Continuing investigation on how to downgrade and get back to older state
Through TWRP, deleted the app folder from /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
researched to see if there is something else to delete, couldn't find much... proceeding from what we know...
Removed ATSystem.apk (3C's helper) from /system/priv-app just in cast (copy placed at ext_sdcard)
result no change..
Started at around 31-Jul-21 13:00 and went on till 01-Aug-21 01-26 pausing to for the day to rest...
Restored App Folder back to /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
WebViewGoogle.apk is v90 again.. (the original seems to be missing, meh, not like it's going to fix)
reboot, result, no changes.
Starting step to install magisk
Removing xposed now..
wiped dalvik cache
rebooting
Kind of stable!!!
Everything seems to work?!?!
Firewalled all app except playstore and mail,
mail seems to work, but can't open the mails (just the headers are received), clicking on the mail says "unable to inflate webview"
aha, I forgot that I have v87 still, if I update that again, will it work (if it doesn't we know how to revert now)
proceeds to update v87 to latest
reboots,
I guess issue resolved by uninstalling xposed, next step to enter phone and move data to safe zone and think about next step.
Are you using xprivacylua?

Oh... sorry to hear that.
I don't know the solution to that, because mine is rooted I was able to get into the custom recovery and fix things.. not sure what can be done here for your case, (I do know that the old samsung's default recovery is kinda unreadable for English speakers)
So, I think it's best for you to start a new thread in the forum, because if you make a new thread there's a higher chance of reply than this thread which is already marked solved.
(plus. please do attach any photos even crude it may be, still will help people see and suggest actions)
