Good morning. I am considering rooting my*phone*to enable me to get round the WhatsApp limitation of the incoming and outgoing media files filling up my internal memory. I am planning to use link2sd once rooted.
I am contemplating the idea of installing a custom ROM also. I have an Exynos Samsung S7 (SM-G930F).
One of the big features I use on my*phone*is the camera and from my reading so far I see that some of the custom ROMS do not utilise the camera hardware properly (AOSP or LOS based ROMS) and as such you end up with a lower quality camera than stock.*
Are there ROMS out there which still use the stock camera ? Are they easily identifiable from the list of ROMS in the ROMS section?*
Any guidance towards a stable ROM which still utilises the camera the same as the stock ROM would be much appreciated.*
Many thanks in advance.

Hi @Jimmymcma,
All the custom ROMs out there that are not Touchwiz-based don't use the stock camera (and the stock camera can't be installed on them). So, by using ROMs such as Lineage OS, Resurrection Remix OS, crDroid, AOSP and so on, you will get lower quality than on Touchwiz-based ROMs such as SuperMan-ROM, BatMan-ROM, IronMan-ROM.
I would recommend using SuperMan-ROM, which is very stable, as good battery life and affords many additional features. It is very good ROM known by almost all the s7 owners here.
The camera is the same as stock. But if you want to push it a bit further, you can use this great app: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes/zero-camera-mod-v1-0-increased-bitrates-t3439176. It will give he ability to increase bitrate, video fps, jpeg quality for images, custom shutter speed in pro mode etc...

Hi cgirerd,
Thank you very much for the comprehensive response. Much appreciated. I think I will try the Superman ROM you suggested.
Thanks again mate
The other thing you can do is enable adoptable storage with a fast SD card. This will allow you to combine internal and external storage together and will be used as one total pool.
Hi,

tried to install the stock camera and it strongly depends on proprietary samsung features.
First thing failing is a missing com.samsung.android.util.SemLog library. I injected a SemLog Mockup just do observe that there are other (possibly a lot more) shared library dependencies.
If anyone is interested in developing this thing together; Feel free to contact me.

I have no experience with this device and have it not here to test. Want to maybe install a Custom ROM for a friend to get away from a "destroyed" Stock. So I need to be sure if I want to do that, since I can not test around with the device.
My main question is if I should go with lineage-14.1-20190302-microG-herolte.zip (camera performance?) or because of better camera performance, stability, speed and long autonomy go with another ROM based on 8/9 (maybe MicroG also possible to install there)?
Bluetooth support/stability is certainly important (car, home stereo) as well as usage of apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and Signal. For E-Mail, Calendar, Addresses I think we could switch to Google Alternatives as well as as to FOSS/F-Droid Alternatives for others. Not sure if the friend needs Google Maps - would install OSMAnd.
Any experience and advise welcome. Thanks a lot.

I can tell you from my own experience it is much faster with lineage rom and you will have much more storage and ram avaible than the stock rom. By the way if you decide to install lineage knox will not work anymore and microg would be possible to install
It may also be worth considering the unofficial ports in these forums, they're built off the LOS nightly releases but given more special attention.

Ok, but since it is not my device (can not test ROMs) and I seek support-free daily driving I'm not ready to take the risk of unofficial ports as well as they might work, unless experienced users comment here comparing current well supported ports directly to official LinOS 14.1 (microG) builds. As far as I can see the only official Pie 9.0 ROM is Resurrection Remix v7.0 from 20190310; but MicroG is not supported and deodexing services.jar for NanoDroid MicroG install seems too complex for this case. If it would be my device I would try, no problem then.

That's part of why I was recommending unofficial, as far as I'm aware the official LineageOS builds are nightly, which is technically non-stable branch. Unofficial ports aim to be 'stable' quality.
Either way you probably won't get a support free OS out of LineageOS. There's always oddities, although usually small.

Thank you for explaining. Small oddities should be fine, at least I hope since I never used TouchWiz (immediately installed LinOS on a S5m) and do not know how easy it is for a Samsung user to come to the AOSP/LinOS World.
I probably would go with a PIE MicroG supporting ROM like AospExtended 6.3, HavocOS 2.2 or crDroid 5.1 if any of them would be official like Resurrection Remix v7. I know it is not a quality distinction per se, but without some experience it gives a little more confidence to at least currently have something cared for.
LineageOS 16 because necessity of deodexing etc. is not a candidate for me.
Hopefully in the next days I can try the migration. I will try in this order: HavocOS 2.2 (no experience) > AospExtended 6.3 > LineageOS 15.1 microG
Hi everyone,
I've been away from the ROM scene for a few years and was pleasantly surprised to find out that even a MediaTek phone these days can be flashed with a ROM different from its original. With a lot of bumps and information from this thread and others, I was able to test the Lineage, Havoc, and Treble ROMs, flashing through adb commands on fastbootd on unsigned xiaomi drivers. The one with the best compatibility so far is an older ROM, the Treble 10 GSI bundled with go gapps. Treble 11, the latest, doesn't have a working "recent apps" button (multitasker/app switcher). I'm not using this phone as a camera phone, but I did install an older Gcam (Gcam 2.3, I think) by googling the phone's mediatek processor, Helio G25.
On stock android, I do feel like the phone is much improved from the MIUI OS's bloat. I feel that Xiaomi as of late is putting too much adware, a far cry from when I bought my first phone from them (A Redmi 1S).
I would like to thank everyone here for the recovery files, twrp, etc.
I'd love to know how you accomplished this, as an otherwise decent phone is, I feel, crippled by MIUI's ridiculous bloat.

Hi @Bludwurst ... I'll see if I can write something semi-coherent about it. Please give me a few days. But the general method was pretty similar to flashing other treble-based ROMs, the important thing is that the phone boots into FASTBOOTD ("elevated" fastboot) and the rom you're flashing is the correct architecture with some Google Go apps (if you want it to be easier to set up). They update every few weeks, so depending on the progress, it may even be feasible to try out the other more popular ROMs. Lineage was 2nd best in my experience, and Android 11 to boot with its own recovery, but it doesn't come bundled with Google Go apps, you'll have to flash the Google apps yourself.
Major caveat about the treble GSI i'm using though -- the Gcam with HDR on has a chance of shutting down (exiting). It's less of an issue when the setting is off. I do have a separate primary camera phone so that wasn't an issue to me.
I've had the phone for about 3 weeks now. I think the biggest difference between this ROM and the MIUI OS is that the MIUI OS is very aggressive about killing my VPN (Ad blocker) and other background apps. With this Treble GSI (Android 10, not 11), I won't claim that my mediatek phone suddenly became a snapdragon, but there's no unexpected app-killing, which is very important for Blokada to stay alive.
**Has any other app crapped out (crashed/exited) since I changed ROMs?**
I don't run games on this phone, so I can't say if there's a difference between MIUI and Treble, but most of the productivity stuff is running okay (time tracker, markdown editor, pdf viewer, etc.) there IS some slowdown when running mobile youtube on my browser (yes, i don't run the youtube app... there may be an improvement if you're using a dedicated app.
I bought this phone as my work tracker phone. Before, with the MIUI stuff, it would stutter after a few apps were loaded. This is improved, but under heavy loads (10+ tabs, video playing), the phone is likely to complain.
**How's the battery life**
I bought this phone for the battery life, so I'd say I'm pretty satisfied on that front. The difference between the MIUI and the Treble GSI.... there's some small improvement with the Treble GSI. But it is (after a few weeks of use) not as much of a "battery boost" as I initially thought. Maybe this is because MIUI keeps killing background apps that now stay on? Can't tell.
**Any other issues**
I had to fix brightness and I think the headphone bug. I still have the commands somewhere, I'll dig it up.
Next, I am not sure if this phone will get security issues moving forward, or if i'll have to keep reflashing to a later GSI. I haven't checked if there's a way to sideload kernel security patches.
**Worth it to switch?**
Yeah, absolutely. Not having to reload apps is a huge deal, and not losing working data while typing helps. Tradeoff is camera hdr and security.
This all sounds very interesting.
I've admittedly not kept up with the Android scene (to call it something), so I'm a bit lost regarding Treble ROMs and such; I'll try to catch up a bit.
Take your time, I can wait.
(It goes without saying that, should I not like the results, I can always bail and reinstall an official Xiaomi ROM for this device, no?)
Yes, MIUI is extremely aggressive killing apps, and getting it to stop is rather confusing (it's not enough to turn off battery optimizations... You need to dig into Settings).
I managed to stop it from killing Netguard, at least...
I also don't play games or otherwise make extremely heavy use of the phone; I also don't care much for camera apps, so such disadvantages aren't dealbreakers for me.
Thank you for your reply

You should use arm32_binder64-ab variants for this device, and you should flash an image that is THE SAME ANDROID VERSION you currently have or 1 version above. Example if you have Android 11, Flash Android 11R version, if you have Android 10 only flash ANDROID 10Q versions, etc.
To find out what GSI image should you use, this app makes it easier, it recommends you which one to download. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tk.hack5.treblecheck&hl=&gl=US --

by the way can you share the links you used to download those roms? I wanna try em out too
Hi guys,
after almost 2 years with MIUI, Android 10 and Android 11 with MIUI 12.5, I would like to try a custom Android 12 rom before selling the device after the summer and buy something new.
As usual, there's a lot of custom roms. Even with A12. Onestly I would prefer to focus on a specific rom avoiding to try all the possibilities, this phone is my daily driver at the moment.
So I can see CrDroid, Evolution, Aosp, Voltage, Arrow... etc etc. Maybe seems a newbie question but which could be not a best rom but the first one to be tried ? Mainly I'm using the X3 to make call ( of course ), surf the web ( of course ), take photos to my children ( so the quality is very important for me ) and use it for GPS ( Mapy CZ and Here Maps ). With an eye on the battery duration...
Which A12 rom could be a good initial attempt ? Not so hard to be installed, I don't want to spend hours in bootloops or issues eheheh.

If you want something stable with good long-time support, there's only Lineage, ArrowOS and maybe AospExtended
If you take lot of photos, ArrowOS offers you unlimited storage in Google Photos. In Lineage you can add that feature using a Magisk module.
I went with ArrowOS for the unlimited photo storage and a few pixel features.
I have found a phone app that automatically records all calls and a Gcam that makes great photos.
Everything is better than MIUI really
On other phones, I was happy using AOSP Ext and CrDroid. What about this last one? I can start trying Arrow maybe...

CrDroid should be good as well.
The developer made a break of 2 - 3 because he gave the phone to his wife but now it continues to receive regular updates.

AOSP dialer has to be installed in Magisk.
GPay SQLiteFix is a fix to make Google pay work, has to be flashed in Magisk as well.

Start Aspen, double click on the black area of the screen and select aspen2.xml
@Noter2017: I'm curious here about your setup, so a few questions?
Is Bluetooth working alright with external audio devices?
Does GPS work reliably?
Is general wireless connectivity stable?
Can advanced reboot be enabled easily?
Is button navigation possible and can buttons be reversed?
I see you have Magisk, so no questions about rooting...

1) Bluetooth works fine for me. I use it with my Mi Band and a portable speaker. Personally I never had problems with Bluetooth, no matter which ROM I used.
2) I use GPS on a daily basis and it also works.
3) Works. With a speedtest get 400 Mbps on my 5 GHz WiFi at home (1 Gbps cable).
4) Can be enabled in Settings - Gestures
5) I use button navigation and didn't face any problems. You can revert the layout in Settings - Gestures - System navigation
Only problem I face after moving to ArrowOS 12.1 was that some backups made with Migrate didn't work. A few apps would crash immediately (Tailscale, for example) after starting (had to clear storage), my taxi app asked to verify my credit card again which didn't work. Had to remove and add the same card again.
Also customization is pretty much absent which might be a problem for some people.
I had a long free weekend, so I decided to spend a few hours upgrading. If the ArrowOS wouldn't have worked reliably, I would have changed ROMs to something else. ArrowOS 12 is EOL and I will stick with ArrowOS 12.1 till the end of the year. Really getting too old to do clean flashes all the time
I think CrDroid 12 (8.4) is superior. I use it with ANXcamera and Magisk
I have tried many ROMs but i just can't seem to find one that suits my needs. The one I'm looking for is a ROM that has the most customizability, but when i google it, i can't find anything. The closest to the ROM I'm looking for was CrDroid, it had a lot of tweaks and features, but it wasn't passing safetynet, so i tried Corvus, it was great for customization, but it was really outdated. I have found resurrection remix, but it's on android 10, and that's a problem for me.
It'll be great if it would be on Android 12, however if there's only A11 then i can live with that. My main goal is to personalize my phone from every aspect of it.
(I'm on Redmi Note 9, but there's lots of unofficial ROMs that work)

I just sold my Shaomi Readmi Noat 10 two days ago for half the price I bought it for 10 months ago. I never used a sim card on it, It was just like brand new still within warranty. The reason I sold it off is because :
> Shaomi devices look too glossy & the components like speakers, display etc. don't last for more than 3-4 years with heavy usage. Just the other day a guy walked into the retailer outlet complaining that rain water had seeped into his Shaomi Readmi Noat 10 Pro camera module & it was out of warranty i think so the retailer says "If you're lucky we might find its parts coz its an old model". Thats how fast devices are getting obsoleted.
> The newer andoid 11 versions are being shipped with A/B partition devices with Super Partition & with system R/W disabled. You can't even find a System Partition or Cache Partition using Custom Recovery. Any Custom ROM gets flashed straight to B Partition that causes more problems while switching ROMS, you have to reflash the Stock ROM each time & it takes 17 minutes to reflash the demn stock rom every time!
Also TWRP backups don't restore.
> I purchased the Shamshung Galhaxy M21 2021 Edition (M215G) instead. It comes with Andoid 11 out-of-the -box with Virtual AB Partition & it has 6000 MaH battery (A.K.A. 2-day Battery). The Custom Recovery (SoulR344 TWRP) can mount System Partition, Cache Partition, flash GSI ROM images directly to System Partition etc. on it. I'm using the CAOS11 GSI along with MicroG and Data Calling works good. Theres no Gapps or OEM Apps on it just basic AOSP. Magisk 24.3 works fine on it with Zygisk and Ainur Narsil Sound module works good too. If you tinker with Phh Treble Settings you can tweak the OS Skin to your liking. If the Home Screen Status bar is too rounded or doesn't display things fully then Display Settings tweaks that perfectly. It feels just like using CrDroid or DotOS etc. GCam works well except portrait mode. Open Camera works really well and even allows the user to switch between ultra-wide mode etc. and presumeably Camera2API works. It comes with FOSS Browser too. I played Modern Air Combat Team Match for 3 hours at 60 FPS and the battery drain was about 8-9% somewhere around that, there is a heating issue with higher FPS but when I used 30 FPS the heating was just mild and the graphics change was not noticeable.

True, whatever floats the boat is fine for me, but I didnt find much difference between CAOS11/CAOS12 GSI and any ROM for that matter, even banking apps are working with microG, just saying. I use Resurrection Remix 10 on my Galaxy J7 Prime, I use CrDroid on another phone..I find all these ROMs and GSIs the same under their skin - lineage. :-/
What works with CAOS11 GSI so far:
1> MicroG
2> GCam (without Portrait mode), Open Camera works even better in daylight with Camera2API, ANX Camera flashable zip works.
3> Banking apps
4> 4G Data Calling (normal calls work haven't checked Volte), no call drops.
5> Under 1GB games work fine (no heating issue at 30 FPS)
6> TWRP Backups restore well if you don't try to restore Super Partition
7> NetGuard VPN works
8> Magisk 24.3 works, all modules flash well.
9> Battery backup might not be as good as Stock OS but 8-9% battery drain in 3 hrsof gaming at 30 FPS. Its 2 days since I charged the battery 92% and still 35% juice remaining.
