Samsung LED cover with custom ROMs - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I have had a Samsung LED case since I first bought the S7E back in 2016. It still works well but only with official Samsung firmware versions.
I can understand that their is some proprietary code in there to detect the cover, but on the custom ROM I'm currently using, not even the open and close function switches the screen on and off.
I was wondering how difficult it might be to incorporate the relevant Samsung routines into a custom ROM to give either
a) Screen on /off when the cover is opened and closed
or
b) the above plus full LED functionality as experienced in Samsung firmware.
I'm not a dev, but it may assist others to implement such features.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Simple n()()B question

why is my back power button light not working on any rom except roms based on stock LG?
is it supposed to be this way? is it off by default?
Simple answer:
Lg made the phone so lg Roms work 100%. Anything else comes at a cost.
That rear light is part of that cost. ?
But its on the back...so I never see it

[Q] Enable LED with S-cover

Hi. Feel free to move this thread if it's in the wrong section.
So here's the deal. I have a Note 3 with S-cover. And I love it. But I miss the LED-notifications. So I poked a hole in the cover, where the LED should be. But it seems the phone registers that I have a S-cover, and tries to save battery, by disabling LED when it is closed.
Is there any way to force the phone to display LED while the cover is closed?
Thank you.
Also, I'm on 4.4.2, Omega rom v23. I need to use a TW based rom in order for S-View to work properly.

I9500 S-View Trouble

Hey guys, I am sorry I didnt have a chance to research all of the forum topics because of having poor connection. My device is rooted and based on sammy software (OzcanRomv6.3) Nowadays S-View sceeen shows up and immediately disappears. I have no idea how to fix it. At least I must turn this magnetic sensor off. What should I do? I know AOSP based firmwares solve it but I am OK with this ROM. Thanks a lot

Help, my s3 neo won't turn on

I'm on Cyanogenmod 12.1 and my phone has Always worked perfectly..but this morning it doesn't turn on and it doesn't charge..HELP ME PLEASE
Try to change battery somehow somewhere (with a dock or something) damn thing is dead & of line charging is not working so you can't change it & it won't turn up from the obvious reasons.
Disclaimer:
The off line charging problem (as you call it) is related to the bord (SoC) & tied to 5.0 & up.
Their are implementations that resolve this issue on other devices with a same bord (Motorola & HTC) they need a little adjusting probably in our case (different ID). As the implementation is tied to the ROM & kernel side I am awaiting Rox to do it, developers are informed of it.

No sensors working (except FP and GPS)

I haven't done anything unusual really, just went from stock 7.0, unlocked BL through Odin, wiped and then installed scripted's Lineage and all my sensors are not working (light, prox, rotation, etc.). Anyone have any solution for this? Or if there is a way to reset to the latest official ROM and try again that would be helpful too.
Update: I flashed stock and the sensors still do not work.

Normally i only use stock rom but have installed Lineage 17.1.
In some cases settings will have to be turn on.
eg: Screen rotation - go into settings - Display - advance - Rotation settings
Rotate Home Screen - long press on home screen - select Home settings
If in doubt you can re-flash lineage in twrp or stock rom with Odin.
Thanks for your suggestion. However, I just flashed the stock rom with Odin and the sensors are still not registering, no reading from any of them? I'm really not sure what to do, I feel like maybe some file was wipe in TWRP that registered the sensors?
If you have any protective case remove it and test.
On stock rom in phone app enter *#0*# should bring up a test menu which you can test your sensors or you can download from playstore ( or other mirror sites ) apps which will test your senors eg: cpu-z, samsung phone info.
This appears to be a bigger issue, one that appeared via a software update. It might be hardware related. There are many other users experience the same.

Rooting... experimental roms can destroy hardware. Override built in firmware safeguards.
Mostly it applies to overclocking but without knowing the exact circuit layout the engineers used, the components maximum specs and heat sinking capacity 3rd party rooms are an educated guess that could overlook critical design limitations. It could as simple as not setting a limited duty cycle to a component.
While not perhaps common, it is a risk.
Another reason why I wouldn't root a valuable device.
You can trying disconnecting the battery and hard resetting all the chipsets with the stock rom already loaded.

My S8 (SM-G950FD) all sensors are not working. Can anyone please help fix this?
I purchased new Samsung Galaxy S8 (SM-G950FD) just 02 weeks ago and since last Tuesday (22nd May), all sensors (iris scanner, proximity, gyroscope, compass) are not working. FYI there are no damages since it was never dropped. I suspect if it is due the firmware update 8.0. I tried factory reset...

It looks as if it is a manufacturing defect rather than one from rooting/development. Perhaps disconnecting the battery might be one possible solution. I was looking into whether there is a way to discard the motherboard as there sometimes is in some laptops.

I hope the hard reset works.
It was operating normally until the new firmware?
There's your answer if the reset fails to work.
The mobo and displays are the most valuable components. The mobo presents more challenges than the display because it contains the device's ID and must be compatible with all the daughter PCBs/modules. So you need the correct variant. The imei issue is one I don't know enough about to address however many here do who can help you.
