[Personal Review] Galaxy S7 edge Nougat beta firmware

Hi guys here you have a proper review of the Nougat firmware for the S7 edge based on my personal experiences.
So I installed it yesterday night via odin thx to @laimonas777.
With my own experiences I can say it is not as nice as I had thought.. It's hard to use, it's full with small bugs and delays and sometimes it can even freeze up to 30 seconds (My experiences).
Every app has got the new GraceUI of the Galaxy Note 7 including the settings app.
One of the best Nougat features, the display scaling option has got "only" 2 different options which do not differ that much from the standard option.
Let's talk about the Notification panel. You now have 6 toggles visible at the top but you cant swipe anymore. When you pull the statusbar twice you will see 9 toggles per page. Its much harder to find one toggle you are searching for because of the 3 toggle pages. On Marshmallow all toggles were visible in one "page".
Also the colors could have been better but I think everyone has its own opinion there.
Something which is also weird is that you have a search bar on the notification panel but actually you cant type anything in there. Instead, this textfield will just open the finder app.
The camera has got newer options and a totally different but perfect UI which I really like. But the new color modes are actually not that important features and were also aviable partially in 6.0.
Lets move on to the recent apps panel, which is a big pain.. The recent items got taller just like in stock nougat but the scrolling is a very big pain. Its just as the android nougat developer preview 1 for nexus devices also there are some minor graphical glitches which I have shown in the video.
Another thing I want to mention are the notifications. And yes, they are ugly but i am sure samsung will fix that. On every notification where you can tap for an action (example whatsapp, to reply) is a grey bar, which looks horrible. You can see it in the attached ss
Performancewise it hasnt got big changes but dont forget the delays when opening some specific apps etc. The battery consumption is also a bit higher but all these will get fixed with the final build (hopefully).
But now lets talk about the positive things :silly:. The Multiwindow option has got much better than it was on all other touchwiz versions, in short, its almost the same as in stock android nougat. Another thing which is perfect is the Window apps mode where you can open apps in window mode. We all know how bad this option was in Touchwiz, maybe no one of you ever have used it but now the window mode is very good and snappy. The negative thing there is that you cant deactivate these both modes anymore. So always when you try to pull down the notification panel from the right or left top corner, it will just open the current app always in window mode which is quite annoying.
And something which is annoying like hell is that if you play a game like doodle jump where you dont need to touch the screen the screen always turns off after a while. So the auto screenoff option doesnt get disabled while playing games or (maybe) even while watching a movie.
Galaxy Labs is now removed, so now you cant get all apps on your homescreen and you cant hide the appdrawer.
Remember that this is a very early beta build, and all of these bugs are normal and wont be there in the finale build.
Here is a quick video about the update to see how it looks

What about a dark theme...it was rumoured that Android N will have a dark theme not only that light one. Also the existing themes in store (for Samsung) work properly on N or not?

Keep in mind this is the frist beta released from samsung, so some things might hopefully change by the release of the final firmware. Also, you do have scaling other than going through the developer options. Go to Display -> Font and you will get to cgoose both the Screen zoom (which is set to almost huge idk why) and of course the font size. This comes to be as tha Normal and Condensed options back from marshmallow.

Hey glad to help. nice rview my friend. . :good:
P.S What happened to the hand?

I'm using the ota build and its running lovely to be fair
Touchwiz is rubbish anyways and just install nova which makes Icons smaller

thanks for the corrections, in stock nougat there is an extra option for the display scaling. I didnt look in the font scale thought its just the normal font scaling

Hello, thank you for great review. Could you confirm one exciting feature of android 7 (atleast for me) that it works on this phone beta software.
As of Android 7.0 phone can read 2G/3G/LTE frequency without ROOT. Easiest way is to install app Cellmapper(mapping cell towers to map) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper&hl=en
Could you run this app and post screenshot while connected to LTE only(no wifi)? Also, maybe send debug report from settings menu to developer with screenshot.
Thank you

Strange review .... I have been using it also since yesterday, and it is faster and smoother then my MM stock ...
Agreed there is some laggs when double tapping the multi tasking bouton, but overall its snapier and more responsive.
Also I have not noticed any freeze. I find this beta very polished to be honest.
Have you done a full wipe before installing ? or OTA ?

Thank you. Does not seem to report more info than in android 6.0.1. If you see LTE band reported on Cellmapper screen you can make another screenshot, but it seems that this functionality might not be there.

It's not a review, it's a rant. I literally have no issues with it, no freezes what so ever, it's actually snappier than MM.

I think the 'review' tag should be removed from this thread or it should be locked, as it is full of false information and the corrections to that false information have been given, but the 'review' hasn't been updated. If people read this thread thinking it is accurate, they will get false information.
The comment about display options, for instance, is just the OP not knowing what to do. It's not something wrong or an option that has been removed, it's just a lack of knowledge.

Yeah, I don't get that with any app. The only thing a bit laggy is the "new window" tab animation in the browser and the notification bar. Apart from those two things, it is fine.

I am sorry but why would you need to do that on Phoenix ROM when the ROM itself includes Always on by default ?

Does it work on Nougat 7.1.1(Oxygen 4.7.6]also or not?
I’m really missing the much better quality and customizable AOD on Samsung device.
Current implementation with ambient display from OnePlus is totally crap.
No proximity sensor any more no interaction with notifications on screen.
Very very poor version from OnePlus.

Ok, as you mentioned "Tested on Phoenix Rom based on 8.1.0" it was kind of confusing.

I use Glance Plus wit the optional paid Always On feature. Works great. Only thing is it doesn't honor the Quiet times I set, used to work in 4.7.6, but does honor the Silent switch, but unless something triggers it to awake/sleep again, it won't go to sleep still automatically at night when I don't want it to work.
Also have tried Always On from the play store, it works good as well. Just not a fan of the sizing/font options on the free version, but it works well also.
Be nice if OnePlus can replicate the Samsung version...that thing is nice.

Unfortunately those app consume more battery than stock implementation from OEM.
I’ve tried in the recent past and battery drain was 3-4% per hour.
Considering that AOD at Samsung only loose 1% per hour that’s a significant increase in battery drain with third party app.

Good lord, instead of all the mumbo jumbo just install Omni ROM. Has AOD built-in and works perfectly. No muss no fuss

Samsung's version also does some hardware tricks like dropping the refresh rate and pixel clock and number of colors. The display hardware literally has a special mode to reduce power use that isn't supported by most hardware, or.if it is, it's not implemented by Android

It wouldn't work for me at first, but I got it working now. All you need to do is make sure ambient display is already turned on before you build/enable the Substratum overlay. Then follow the instructions in the OP.

However it seems buggy and doesn't seem to work properly. At least on RR Oreo.

Touch screen responsiveness in ROMs and GSI's

Some of you may not notice, but I'm sure there are a few that do. Touch screen responsiveness on custom ROMs or GSI's for Mata is working, but is definitely not as fluid as stock.
Easiest way to tell is just typing on the keyboard and taking note of the shot delay in between touches. For me, I type fast, and this causes spelling mistakes often, because the touch screen (on a ROM or GSI.) doesn't register as it does on stock.
Next is mobile gaming. Touch seems to be a total hit and miss here, and sometimes won't work at all unless one finger is already on the screen. That's not a big deal, because a simple reboot fixes this temporarily. This was fixed a while ago here, if I recall correctly:
https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_frameworks_native/+/198809
Overall I am hoping to find a fix for this touch responsiveness issue. It effects a ton of aspects of this phone and prevents me from staying on ROMs, and resorting to restoring backups to use my phone properly again.
I've tried messing with the build.prop, switching kernels, checked out various forums and attempted things I probably shouldn't have tweaked with, but still have had no luck figuring this out on ROMs or GSI's. Yet on Stock everything functions properly, and touch is no issue.
Can anyone shed any light on this at all? (To clarify there are 2 issues here: general delay in touch, and touch screen not working after a while on games.)

Hi, I just flashed gsi rom yesterday and also found it more laggy than stock. I tried to search for a way to improve it but failed. Please let me know if you find a way to solve this problem.
Actually I flashed it just to make the stasus bar shorter and make it possible to disable navigation bar. I may change back to stock if I find any method to do so on it.

Still trying different things, but so far no luck, touch remains a bit laggy. Gonna try something later though, are you currently on a GSI with Root?
In: system / usr / idc there should be some .idc files, I wonder if there are some entries on stock that aren't in GSI's or ROMs?
I dunno, just shooting in the dark here.

Yes,I rooted it. I just checked idc folder of my stock room restore, there are no more but 1 less idc file in the stock rom. I copied the entire idc folder to main storage, restored the gsi room and replaced it. I don't think it makes obvious change,at least did not make the touch screen as good as the stock.
But I did flash elemental-x kernel after flashing gsi. It might have make it better? Maybe I just got used to the sensitivity of gsi but you may try to flash the kernel and replace the folder, see if any changes are noticed.

I'm running the latest HavocOS GSI build with the neutrino gemini kernel. Also using Ex Kernel Manger so the settings will stick or can be changed. No touch lag or the like on my end. Very smooth.

Is the status of Havoc OS as high and wide as the stock room? Or is it just normal size as on other Android devices? Considering transfer to it.

Unfortunately, the latest build of HavocOS is from October 27th. However, you can still use the latest December firmware/security update from Essential.
There is one bug with it, at least for me and others, and it's the fingerprint sensor doesn't work for us. It doesn't show up in Settings either. It worked on previous builds, though. Not to knock the developer at all, as I appreciate the work that has been put in.
As far as the "normal size" you brought up... Are you referring to file size? If so, it's in the same ballpark as any other stock/stock-ish ROM that doesn't include gapps. I used Pico gapps, as I don't use many Google apps. Hopefully that answered your questions.

Thank you for your information!
I'm sorry I mistyped the question. Actually what I wanted to ask was the status bar, which bothered me a lot on the stock rom. I flashed to pixelexperience specially for changing the status bar height to normal (and being able to disable navigation bar completely). I don't know why it was so hard that I didn't find any way to do so on stock rom.

Oh, yeah, that's the other "issue" people have had with HavocOS on the PH-1. The status bar is very thin...About 50% too thin, and I don't know of any way to change it. It doesn't really bother me after getting used to it. I'll have to try out Pixel Experience, though. I do miss the fingerprint sensor working properly.

Thanks for the input, pretty sure I have already tried the Oct 27th Havoc OS with Neutrino and still had those touch issues with games, but I will give it another shot in case, did you by chance modify a few things with EX Kernel Manager?

The status bar is also thin pixelexperience if you care. Aside from the touch screen latency, I haven't noticed any other issue on this rom, so I recommend you give it a try.

Tried Havoc OS paired with Neutrino, and tweaked around with EX Kernel Manager last night for a while, but still had issues with touch on games and keyboard. Literally everything I have tried on custom installations has not helped improve touch responsiveness.
Come on, surely some random dev still lurks these forums who also notices these delays in touch. Would love to help solve this if I knew exactly where to start, and am willing to test or tweak to get this resolved.

No idea if this will help, but it's easy to try. In developer settings, find grip rejection and try toggling it on. Else, in the same place, try adjusting touch sensitivity.

Grip rejection and touch sensitivity aren't available in GSI's unfortunately, but even some ROMs that do include those settings still have delayed touches, and games eventually lose touch until you reboot on occasion.
Compared to stock, the only ROM that had touch working perfectly (like stock) was Kuran's AICP O. I suspect this has something to do with his kernel, but I am just speculating, I can't be sure on that one.
Then even on a GSI with a stock kernel I still get touch issues, so I have a feeling it has something to do either something in /system but then again, I'm still guessing.
But I appreciate the reply thank you for chiming in on this. ?

The only reason I suggested that "fix" was when I was running AOSiP Pie, that was the only way to get rid of the lag. Simply toggling the grip rejection solved the problem immediately.

Huh, last time I was on AOSiP Pie (maybe a week ago) I still had touch issues, but hell, for some awesome customization, maybe it's time for another try on that. Thank you, by the way, I really dig that signature of yours.

Edit: I think I may have gotten it figured, and at least narrowed down the issue. I Installed Havoc OS 10-27 again with Dec-patched-boot.img, then Neutrino Hercules over that, on both slots, changed CPU to performance and enabled touchboost, then added these lines to my build.prop and rebooted:
persist.vendor.qti.inputopts.enable=true
persist.vendor.qti.inputopts.movetouchslop=0.6
So far so good, touchscreen jank is gone, scrolling isn't bad at all, and best of all games seem way more fluid. Will continue to test it out.
Edit 2: So far so good games haven't lost touch, not even once, games are still fluid and there are literally no touch delays when gaming or typing. So either the kernel (with performance mode and touch boost on) or the entries I added to the build.prop have fixed this finally. Or both. So freakin' happy.

great! it turns out uploading an apk that was compiled as test only leads to "test only" errors lol. live and learn I guess

works on OP7 regular , thanks for this, if it were possible to reduce the brightness only on the AOD, It would be great!

Sound great. Looking forward for Burn-In protection

great, I'll update the compatibility! I'll look at the brightness reduction, at the moment I believe it uses the default autobrightness but I'll see what I can do.

OnePlus AOD 1.0.1
The normal Ambient Display will stay on-screen perpetually, with all the normal stock customization options via settings.
Burn-In protection is still a WIP

Nice work! Waiting for the functioned burn-in protection feature.

Yep, that's now my top priority! I hopefully should have it done in a week or two, as I'm an inexperienced programmer.

hmm perhaps that was a bit of an ambitious timeframe, but it will hopefully be done before OnePlus releases the real AOD supposedly in August or September

Rooted Phone required?
Does the phone have to be rooted for this to work? Can I install on the non rooted phone?

Yes. It requires EdXposed which would require root.

Seems like you are still stucking at the burn in protection function, doesn't it? How are your project, bro?

yeah I have ended up quite stuck on burn-in protection... It's harder to implement than I expected I haven't been able to find what controls the position of the ambient display

OP8_O2_BETA_1 bug

Hello,
Did someone notices a bug with the volume control while have enabled bubble for google message ?
Once bubble enabled in google message, when you try to increase the volume by pushing the left buttons, it doesn't work, you need to "delete" the bubble to make it works again....don't know if I'm clear
Thanks for the support

If you're talking about the first Android 11 Open Beta, keep at mind that it's a beta, and it's the first one, so there will be bugs, you can report them to OP or you can just wait for updates.

So how's Android 11 ? I'm so excited to try it out but I'll wait for final version. What's the most useful thing added in this version ? And btw, do you like that new design ?

well, the design doesn't change a lot according to me and yes I like it

There's a couple of bugs indeed, but overall i really like it
Some of the bugs i encountered:
Occasional lag/short freeze when switching between apps
Occasional slowdowns (feels like 60hz)
Diagonal swipe for google assistant doesn't work
Changing brightness through slider isn't as smooth
Settings force closes sometimes
AutoHz and Razr's Dolby atmos don't work on this build (or Android 11).
Will update this post if i find more
