S7 Edge G935F Android 6.0.1 custom rom camera fails... - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this... But I've been wanting to flash a MM 6.0.1 ROM to my s7 edge exynos, and it flashes fine and all, although the camera will just start, and I'll get a message, "Camera failed" and it just closes the camera completely. I have tried multiple 6.0.1 ROMs for my phone, but they all have just that one issue, even the stock ROM has had that issue with me. I already tried to wipe the cache partition, reset the phone to factory settings and all, did a full factory wipe, turned off smart stay. But the problem still persists. I don't have this issue with any 7.0 S8, N7FE, or any other 7.0 ROMs, it is just with Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 ROMs which I have the problem with. I want an Android Marshmallow ROM on my phone for the auto replace language feature that MM 6.0.1 has, I love it. That, plus the camera was way better than 7.0 on the s7 edge. Thank you
Also, if there is a way to install the 6.0.1 keyboard on 7.0?? manually installing it and changing the permissions maybe??

There is an app called camera restarter(requires root) on Google play which fixes the camera failed problem. Give it a try and see if it fixes your problem

It still didn't work I tried it, and it only made the camera stay longer, then after a few seconds, the camera failed, I couldn't even see anything on the screen....
Could it be the kernel as well???

You have probably newer camera version driver, and it is not supported by mm... but i dont know why it isnt overwriten by rom. Try with mm bootloader and modem flashing and then rom

[Q] SM G900 I Camera issues

Hello to erveryone,
since my last firmware update (over kies) i´ve got sincere camera issues on my G 900 I running Android 4.4.2.
As you can see it does have problems with colors and ghosting as well as it heavyly laggs.
When in turn HDR on/ off or change mode it seems to work normally again for some seconds and then crashes bag.
What i tried yet:
Upgrade to Android 5.0:
Camera works but Device does not store Wireless Passwords, so this cant be the solution yet
Try other Camera Apps, whipe cache, stop app
No difference at all.
Factory reset
No difference
Does anyone of you have any ideas or the same problem?

Try flashing the latest stock ROM for your model S5 from sammobile & use ODIN to flash it, then factory reset the new ROM

I tried that. But then my Wifi does not store any passwords.
Is it possible that all these problems are caused by wrong modem?
This is a SM G900I and im using a modem for a G900F (ANG2, KERNEL_G900FXXU1ANG2).
Unfortunately I dont know where to get the latest modem for the G900I.
As well my LTE is not working here in Germany.
If you get a stock ROM from sammobile dot com for your exact model S5, you should get the correct modem and everything designed for that S5

Okay, I did that. Within this step I upgraded to Android 5.0. My device did not store a single Wifi password, but the camera worked fine. Flashing back to stock 4.4.2 Wifi works fine, but the camera is broken!
Any Idea?
Sounds like Samsung need to fix some bugs
Maybe try a custom ROM, that way if you encounter any problems, you have direct contact with the dev to try and get it fixed

Can't record video on lollipop touchwiz rom

Hi guys
I came from jamal rom v40 s5 port for note 3 on android 4.4.2 and i tried android lollipop resurrection remix and it was great but i decided to return to touchwiz to try s6 port.. i installed it and everything worked fine, except for recording video: when i tried my phone reboot, everytime and also with other application like whatsapp or other camera application.. i can take photos but not video. I tried other rom 5.0 touchwiz and the result is the same, but with aosp rom it works.
what can i do? My friend has the same rom i want to install (dark lord s6 port) and he can take videos so i know that it's my phone's problem. how can i resolve? I want you to know that i can't take video with every touchwiz lollipop rom and every kernel.. i can't understand why
please help me
So I solved it by:
Using Odin 3.11.1
I have already tried Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flashed the latest stock Lolipop or older lollipop with ODin and nothing solved the problem.
So I tried to flash the latest stock lolipop with Odin and marking checked (Auto Reboot , F. Reset Time , Phone EFS clear, Phone Bootloader update).
I suspect that the Phone EFS clear did the trick. It's function is related to the modem and radio of the phone. And clearly the modem has a problem here.
I hope this will help anybody out there having this issue.
This problem happened after trying to flash lollipop using FlashFire app to reserve the root that I had in my previos Android KK 4.4.2.

After 6.0.1 update, cant flash any customs roms at all. Only stock works.

Hi,
Wonder if anyone has come across this issue before. While Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) BTU was on Lollipop, I could flash what ever custom roms I wanted. However since updating to MarshMallow 6.0.1, any custom rom I install results in constant resets on boot.
So instead of boot looping its reset looping. I can see for some reason it will not create Cache / Dalvik Cache mounts, maybe that has something to do with it, I dont know. I know I have spent hours trying to work out issue.
because of bootloader/cp. you have to flash lollipop ones if you want to intall any branch of cm. cm13 will work with MM bl/cp eventually

Hi,
I think I tried going back, will give it another. Any BL / CP you recommend?
for me it worked (be sure to check update bootlader in odin). i used the latest one for lollipop from Alexander thread.

I was searching and searching without answer. Now works, .
Every time I searched for anything with reset in it, it kept giving me bootloop threads, .

S Health doesn't work anymore with stock Nougat and root...

Hello,
yesterday I update my S7 edge (G935F) to official stock Nougat ROM with Odin, then I installed TWRP, custom kernel and Magisk. Now S Health app doesn't work anymore, when I try to open it, a message is shown that says the device is compromised and S Health versions 5.0 and newer are not available on rooted phone. If I reflash stock ROM and don't make any mod the problem remains...
I need S Health and its sensors support, how can I solve?
EDIT: Sorry I found working solution: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-s-health-devices-knox-t3543306

Downgrade S7 Edge to Marshmallow

Hi, I know this isn't the right forum but I can't publish in another one.
I have a SM-G935F (Exynos), and I don't like Nougat's battery life. So I wanna downgrade to marshmallow. But when I was looking how do that sometimes I had read I need to delete all Google accounts, restore the device, turn off the device, and then do wipe data/factory reset and wipe data cache and turn off again the device, to finally go to the download mode. But I too had read I only turn off the device and put the download mode.
Do I have to do all those things or do the second one?
I don't want to brick my phone.
Downgrading to a previous version might corrupt your IMEI stopping your phone from making and receiving calls, I've learned that the hard way..So better do a thorough research before taking any action.
I too don't like Nougat which makes me go back again and again to a Marshmallow build. I haven't experienced any problem going back to MM from Nougat. I just have to factory reset every time to boot up normally after flashing the MM Rom via Odin. I currently have this build on my phone with Xposed:
i have downgraded my grand 2, s7 edge W8 model multiple times. all i do is shut off the phone put it in download mode, open odin select proper files n then simply flash. note i never changed any odin settings just simply choose the right files.
i have done this with both stock n custom rom installed. never had any issues
also y not try a custom 7.0 rom. batman rom is quite good, well so is ambasadii one. haven't tried any other rom so can't say anything about others.
I Also prefer MM to N by far in terms of battery life. Never had any issues downgrading to MM from N using Odin, no special things to do other than going into download mode and flashing the MM firmware.
Only reason i had to go back to Nougat is that the carrier will cut LTE for MM starting from today (due to signal improvement processes that are not compatible with 6.0.1).
I may consider Flashing back MM and keeping the Modem from Nougat if that works.
I downgraded to Marshmallow and athough it does't seems, the battery life is a lot better in 6.0.1.
I do not like the old Emojis, but i can handle it
Howhever, the performance increases too. I'm so happy with Marshmallow.

Did you measure it. Batteries lose their capacity.

DRA9 BASEBAND FIRmware?
I have SM-G930A, I think with a locked bootloader.
Currently I'm on Marshmallow and when I try to update using system update it says your device is up to date. So If I flash Nougat using Odin will I be able to downgrade back to Marshmallow If I don't like Nougat ?
Thanks
