Rom recommendation with encryption and without gapps (Exynos) - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello, as mentioned in title i need a rom (can be oreo or pie) that will support encryption of the phone memory and can work without any google services on a exynos version.
Also my second question is there a way to disable wifi and bluetooth by removing the drivers?
Thanks in advance.

Think your only option are the microG Lineage builds in the Development forum.
About the wifi, it's never recommended to start deleting drivers - more likely you would break many other things.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
In the beginning, thanks to @Ahmed_Khalifa for inspiring this by leading me to a similar FAQ to get inspiration from!
a. Hardware
I cannot hear the caller's voice on SIM 2, nor he/she can hear me.
This is a known bug and the developer is working hard on it.
The problem is that he does not use Dual SIM, although he has a SM-G7102, and relies on testers, which slows down fixing.
The phone takes 10-15 seconds to boot up, and the boot animation is really slow. Is that a warning from God that I watched too much porn? (Screen lock bug users only)
Not in this case. The ROM build for screen lock bug users has that problem. It's a known bug.
But it might be a warning from God, too. Porn is bad.
The screen turns off, but would not turn on again.
Flash the latest version, the one marked "for screen lock bug users". Note that video recording is broken on that.
I cannot make or receive calls, SMS messages, or use mobile data on both SIM cards.
You aren't using the latest version of this ROM.
The <camera/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Auto rotation/whatever> doesn't work.
You aren't using the latest version of this ROM.
<Insert something here> is broken.
Make sure you have the latest release (from the link above) and that the broken feature is not on the Known Bugs list.
What variants of the Grand 2 does this ROM work on?
As of the build dated Feb. 11th, 2015, this ROM only works on SM-G7102 (the 3G Dual SIM international variant).
Users of other variants, such as the 4G LTE SM-G7105, the Brazilian SM-G7102T, and other variants would have to avoid flashing this.
Video recording does not work.
If you have faced the screen lock issue and flashed the build for screen lock issue users, video recording would not work.
Update: VivaVideo works.
FM Radio doesn't work and shows this:
FM operation failed. If the problem persists, please turn off FM and turn it back on
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This issue occurs when using the bundled CodeAurora Forum FM Radio app.
To fix it, download the open-source SpiritF app, open it (obviously), and turn FM Radio on with the headset plugged in. You won't hear anything. Press "Menu" and choose "Analog". You will hear radio come on. Choose " Menu" then "Digital" again to get louder volume.
b. Programs and software
How do I enable root access?
Two methods:
Method 1:
Flash the SuperSU ZIP fire (UPDATE-SuperSU-*.zip)
Method 2:
- From About Device in Settings, tap the Build Number seven times to enable Developer Options.
- Go back and choose Developer Options, then choose Root Access. This option allows you to enable root access for ADB, apps, or both.
Can I import or export contacts to the SIM card?
No. AOSP-based ROMs, including CyanogenMod, do not have the ability to access the SIM card contacts due to legal restrictions.
Why are many CyanogenMod 11 options, previously found in Settings, gone?
The CM team is still integrating CyanogenMod sources into AOSP Lollipop. You can check CyanogenMod's website for details.
In the meanwhile, many Xposed modules can replicate that functionality for you, most notably GravityBox [LP].
Can I upgrade from CyanogenMod 11 and keep my apps and data?
Yes, but you will have to set a new pattern if you had a pattern lock 4x4 or over (as you'll face a glitch where any pattern unlocks the screen) and you will lose custom notification panel tiles, system apps and mods under /system, and Xposed (you will have to download the latest version by hand).
Can I upgrade from stock/GenNxt/Turbo/MicroKat/<insert stock-based ROM here> and keep my apps and data?
Unfortunately, no. You will have to wipe your /data partition prior to installing CyanogenMod.
Does DedS Kernel/Motion Kernel/<insert some kernel here> work on CyanogenMod 12?
No. TouchWiz kernels do not boot AOSP/CM ROMs.
Where is the Google Play Store? Why is it in a different download?
To get it back, flash a Google Apps (commonly Gapps) package, available as a separate download.
Google Play Store, and other Google apps, are not included in AOSP-based custom ROMs, like CM, because of a legal requirement imposed by the CyanogenMod v. Google lawsuit, where Steve Kondik, founder of Cyanogen Inc. (formerly CyanogenMod), was accused by Google of stealing intellectual property (Gapps + proprietary drivers), so he offered to remove them from his ROM. As a result, all AOSP-based ROM makers were required to perform the same action.
<Some app> does not work on this ROM, while it worked on <CyanogenMod 11/stock/some ROM>!
It may not be compatible with Lollipop/Android Runtime (ART). Check with the app's developer for an updated version.
Freedom does not work on this ROM! Do I have to actually pay for in-app purchases?
In fact, it doesn't work on all Lollipop ROMs. But don't worry, you ain't paying to get $9999 in Jetpack Joyride. You can use Lucky Patcher.
Why isn't this ROM updated via CyanogenMod Updates?
This ROM is an UNOFFICIAL build.
However, the developer offers an alternative that he maintains if you donate.
Can I use proprietary Samsung apps and features like S Note, Smart Screen features, GALAXY Apps, and Air Command?
No, due to the unavailability of Samsung framework resources in CyanogenMod. Why not switch to some stock ROM instead?
Does GravityBox [LP] work on this ROM?
Its developer says no, but I confirm it does. In fact, some options even work on TouchWiz!
OTA Terms and Conditions:
For Donors of this ROM:
1. Donation is an appreciation and a kind gesture toward the developer's hard work and his valuable time.
2. Being a donor means you can not expect or demand any fix for bugs or any mishappening with your device
3. Please do not donate if you think you are PAYING FOR PREMIUM SERVICE and expecting a lot like OEM customer care, the developer is not here for your service as he is making this rom just his love to android development.

As stated before for some reason the screen pinning does not work with normal keys so a solution for now is to enable soft keys by adding
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
To the build prop in
/system/
And saving it and restart your device

try it guys!!
HERE ARE SCREENSHOTS :​

it is because you use location tag. so after clearing camera data and cache, relaunch camera and make sure you don't activate location tag. the first launch of camera will promt you whether you want to activate location tag or not. if you activate it, you will face the camera bug, but else if you don't activate it the camera work perfectly for taking photos. there is no need to install google camera or motorola camera. hope it will be help for you and others.

Network location in Android 7.1.2 [tasker]

I tried now lineage, xenon hd and resurrection. In every 7.1.2 ROM I am unable to get the network based location.
Unfortunately the only way I I know to read this battery saving location is by using tasker(which need to work for me)
Google maps is working without GPS. But I think just because near WiFi.
Can anyone check to read the network based location with tasker in a 7.1.2. ROM?
I already checked my APN settings,my sim card and the android right policies for tasker.... No luck at all
It seems that you have similar problem like me and others:
"Network Location Provider" doesn't work with up-to-date Google Play Services
Location not correct when indoors
Thanks for the links. And indeed, it seems like the same problem.
What surprises me is that this bug dont appeal to this community here. For me it is an important feature of google service which we cant use with our OP2.
Furthermore i dont understand why this bug seems to be a bug according to our device.
For me it is ja software bug with no relation to our hardware?
I hope this error gets more pushed soon

For me, this is also a big problem, because I often need to see geotags in my picture where I made this or that photo. But geotags are not recorded in photos, but if they are recorded, then only one place even if I have already passed 2 kilometers.
There are two solutions - to put Google-camera, but there is very dark video in case of insufficient illumination, the second - to put another ROM. I tried almost all the firmware and only two did not have problems:
Resurrection Remix M [5.7.4]
LineageOS 13.0
But one more problem because of which I will soon change my OP2 is a poor autonomy.

Thanks. As far as i know the 3.6.0 updates is based on Android 6.0.1. and therefore no android 7.1.x
However you are right, it seems to be the only fix for now. No Android 7 With this feature.
I am just wondering why

I have read that Android P builds will start releasing for treble devices within a month , its not official though , but custom rom devwlopers can start making roms and trble builds based on that rom.
Okay as far i noticed that:
1. bluetooth is bugged and if you keep enabled both wifi and bluetooth, wifi will get disabled and you won't be able to turn it on. To fix that you just need to turn off bluetooth and reboot.
2. Fingerprints are deleted every reboot so using them is pointless. Stay just with PIN.
3. Lagfix is obligatory. You can find it on telegram. Phone without it runs AWFULLY and is just literally unusable.
4. You need to install google play fix, otherwise you won't be able to complete configuration, google apps won't work
5. after installing lagfix it just RUNS AWESOME! Really, oreo roms are just ****, and you can't complain with that. Every oreo rom runs slow when compared to nougat, but that rom is very fast, even faster than nougat.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4(SM-T530) with Android 5.0.2 looking for newer Android version

Hi, as the title says I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4(SM-T530) with Android 5.0.2 and I wonder if it is possible to have a newer Android version installed on it? Or maybe a custom rom?
I have done some searching but I can't find the required info.
Thanks for any help.
I did search but cannot find anything...help is appreciated.
Nobody who knows?

Hi DJABHipHop,
Thanks for all the work you've done.
I have a Sumsung SM-T530 (matissewifixx)
OS: Lollipop 5.0.2
Bootloader: T530XXU1BQB2
After a quick learning curve I've been following the https://www.getdroidtips.com/lineage-os-17-1-galaxy-tab-4-10-1#Pre-Requirements article:
1) Used Odin3-v3.10.6.exe to root my device
2) Installed the latest TWRP 3.0.0-0-.matisse.img <-- It appears you're using a newer version (TWRP-3.2.3-0_matissewifi-180918.img) - question to follow
3) Attempted (unsuccessfully) to install the lightning-17.1-20201012-UNOFFICIAL-matissewifi-Unsweetened-XDA-BUILD
I receive an Error 7 - basically not identifying my device correctly from what the error says
Now the article actually mentions this exact issue...
To install Lineage OS 17.1 on your Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1, you need to unlock bootloader and running the latest TWRP Recovery. If you are on the old version, you will see error 7 warning text while installing the custom ROM on Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 (matisse) device.

Because I'm new to this whole process, I want to be sure I am doing the right thing (don't want to brick the device)

3.0.0-0 isn't the latest TWRP. Check https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/recovery-twrp-recovery-matisse-millet-t4019831 and install matisse version. Then, you can install lfr 17.1 or los 16.
And to get more precise informations, check always XDA, not external bad blogs...

Thanks matteo,
Your tip/link has worked I've now upgraded to twrp-3.4.0-3-matisse and the 17.1 OS install has now been successful.
Good advice on the 'external' blogs... my next step is to install the 'GApps', that 'external' blog suggested some more external links to get the right Apps, more confusing for a newbie that the original article...
any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Working ROM for Markw in late 2021?

Hi,
As of December 2021, is there an alternative ROM that would reliably work for Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime?
I am asking because the standard MIUI ROM has not been updated for years and I am having quite a few glitches - I think, because of that. For example, Vivaldi browser and Fairemail frequently crash, as well as some other programs.
I am looking for something that would, really, just work, hardware- and software-wise. With no bugs. At least with no serious bugs.
My understanding is that the choice is not wide. Please report if you have tested a ROM that works for Redmi 4 Prime in late 2021. I don't want to throw away this phone.
I'm using the unofficial CrDroid by redispade and it's amazing. Best ROM i've used, everything works just fine except that I couldn't get device encryption working properly but if you don't need it it's a great Android 10 ROM.

sadly there don't seem to be any recent updates/roms for our cool markw

That's the thing. I need encryption to keep my data safe.
I wonder if Lineage OS has any encryption issues. I read that when the drive is encrypted, you cannot use fingerprint unblocking. Perhaps there are issues with encryption itself, too.
Thanks for the reply though.
In my opinion, actually, the best Rom out there is lineage 17.1, in terms of stability, whole functionality and amazing battery backup, poor about the feature just in line with lineage tradition (just the possibility to reboot or power off in notification panel).
Of course the encryption make problematic the fingerprint recognition, as each interesting cusrom for Markw!
Sorry for my English.

Thanks for the reply. There's already Lineage 18 for Markw, compiled by Shihabzzz. Is there a way to make encryption and fingerprint compatible though?

In my experience, nowadays, the 17 is more stable to 18 (every @ShihabZzz works is absolute accurate). You can try also mokee 9 or 10 and i suggest you orange fox recovery, the last one official 10.1 to try encryption (sorry but i never used encryption in my devices!)

Okay, I see, thanks.
If anyone got encryption properly working with fingerprint, on any ROM, please let me know.

Thanks, Autokoise. I have asked to confirm if the bug disappeared in the newer LOS versions.
I am using ported miui rom NSA based on miui eu.I am happy with it.It is android 9.I have no major bugs but I don't use encryption sao I can't tell you nothing about it.I tried many roms.Crdroid ,arrowos ,havoc lineage os bit I prefer ported miui.It is so sad that markw never get official android version update.
