I'm trying to resurrect an old S7 by installing a Custom ROM on it. Some of the ROMs seem to support only the Exynos version of the S9, but others do not specify. For instance, crDroid does not specify either version (https://crdroid.net/dl.php), while Pixel Experience specifies the Exynos version (https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/herolte/). If no version is specified, can I assume it will install on my phone? Or do those that specify the Exynos version also work on the Snapdragon? Do you know a custom ROM that will install on my phone?
I'm no computer wizard but I have some experience modding hardware and software on Mac computers. I'd like to experiment on the S7 so that I can install a custom ROM on my S9+ when it's no longer supported....
Well if you ask for Snapdragon S7
Right now it has no roms
all those there are for the exynos since the snapdragon has a locked bootloader which i don't know how they still didn't find a way to unlock it,also exynos roms will not work for snapdragon
they will make the phone stuck on boot

Since development for Marshmallow is so slow for our device, I know I'd have to flash a kernel and modem and am okay with that.
Would also like to know
I think any international rom that's not exynos will work basically.
I have a stock Samsung Galaxy S8+ model SM-G955U (Snapdragon) on T-Mobile USA
- build number NRD90M.G955USQU1AQJ8
- service provider SW ver: SA0MC-SM-G955U_OYN_TMB_0187 98891 a315a30494859 TMB/TMB/TMB
- The phone is a USA version purchased directly from TMOUSA.
From the build number, I guess my bootloader is version 1, right?
What is the best method to flash TWRP recovery and then install a custom rom on my device?
There's a post here, but it mentions version 5 bootloaders. Will that method work for me? Is there a better method instead? I've been reading threads all day, but I'm more confused than when I started due to the different models of the S8+.
Is there a LineageOS v15 or AOKP 8.1 ROM for my device? I want a rooted ROM without GAPPS and I prefer a fully-featured ROM like AOKP. Any suggestions for me? (I want to move up from 7.1 and I prefer a stable ROM, so I thought Android 8.1 might be the best option.)
I would like to port TAB S2 Nougat Rom for my Note 4 N910K Exynos 5433 phone. I always flashed custom roms but all of them have too many features and I all want is stock Nougat for Note 4. I don't need the S-pen functionality just Nougat and network to work nicely.
I never did any rom development or any compiling but I'm willing to learn.
It would be really appreciated if someone could list all the software and steps for porting.
As I said I have no idea how its done but I know that I need stock base firmware and kernel so it actually boots up.
i need samsung experience J700F for android 10/9/8 pls give link
There's no ROM available for Exynos 7580 chips that's higher than Nougat. So, unfortunately, that's your limit.
However, there's AOSP-based ROMs if you would like.

It's possible, yes, even Marshmallow had Samsung Experience UI, from what I remember on my older Galaxy Note3.
The only thing that mattered was the ROM base.
This is Samsung Experience 8.5 ROM for your device, built on Nougat (7.1.1). You can search the Web if you want anything higher, sometimes you can get lucky.
The Samsung tab s6 lite is an older model with lineage and other roms available, will the S7 FE get any open source ROMs in future?

Probably not until there is a stable recovery...
And I noticed ads about Tab S8 so yeah I'm very doubtful as developers like to get on newer devices.
However I still hope one day we will see recovery and roms

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see where the state of 3rd party development goes with samsung's latest devices in the coming years

Interested to buy this tablet too since S8 series just released and so the prices decreased for 7 series but i'm on hold because there are no custom roms available atm.
Do not want use the stock samsung rom, want a vanilla aosp rom and install packages i like to make it as light and fast and possible.
Hope lineageOS devs will consider to port LOS on this device too like they did with S6 series.
