Gapps - if you get "Unfortunaly, Setup Wizard has stopped" on first cm load. This is common problem.
Try find older version: 22 March or early (my link). Or you can delete Start Setup app: go back to twrp - Mount -> system, then Advanced -> File Manager -> system\priv-app\SetupWizard - select current folder and delete. Then reboot in system.

Camera issues when using the default camera app, or is it a hardware issue? I use the camera fairly often.
@Valera1978 Awesome work my friend! Congrats for one more wonderful work! You rock!
Thanks, I'm gonna try it.

That's fantastic news @Valera1978 ! Was thinking of trading this machine in because lack of development. But in the same time I love it. It's a brilliant device and it's a pity so few people has found that out. So THANKS A MILLION Valera!

The p900 will be available till end of the weekend, may be the next week also.
My plan simple - push another developers to continue work with cm13. In this limited time I want:
- make stable cm13 - building right now, hope today evening will be the first results
- clean-up my device/kernel/vendor (almost done)
- try fix camera - look like this is big issue for all exynos cm13 devices, but need at least try fix
And then I really hope thompatry will continue work with cm13.
And hope my sources will help make cm for related note pro 12.1 p901 and tab pro t900/t520. At least t900/t520 use the same kernel and very similar hardware.
Buggy Setup Wizard
How can I skip the buggy Wizard? It keeps popping up error messages.
My tablet was always diferent. I wasnt able to update to official lollipop (stuck on boot animation or every proces crashed) Cm12 is laging. And now, the android 6.0.1 is stack at boot screan animation. I also bricked it with official lollipop (from cm11 to official lollipop) and unbricked it with official kitkat. I really dont understand it. I need to do more with my little android development skills (i have successfully ported cm11 to friends phone, but only thanks it have little difrences from the official cm11 for the supported device) i dont know if u understand it but it doesnt matter
No way!! I wasn't expecting this.
I don't like posting this kind of useless message but I had to write a big THANK YOU. The thank you button doesn't cover how grateful I am for bringing a 6.0 ROM to our big guy.
Does the s-pen work? I can't flash it right now.

I had the same problem. Couldn't get past it. So I did a new clean install and this time without Gapps. The rom runs fantastic. Went to apk mirror and downloaded the latest GMS and installed it. Then I went to settings to add my G account. And couldn't go thru with it cause GMS keeps crashing. Don't know why. Gonna uninstall it now and install an older GMS

Edit: Tried an older variant of GMS and no success. Well just have to wait. Meantime its awesome running MM on what I thought was a dead device.
Thank you for this Valeria. Really appreciate you doing this. I've encountered most of the problems previously mentioned. Installed with Gapps. No joy. Did another install without. Running OK. One thing nobody else has mentioned is I can't see my external sdcard. Tried 3 different ones. 32, 15 and 4 GB. No luck with any. As for ROM. Nice. Fast. Smooth. Cheers
Cm 13.0 build is ready. Please see first post how to solve gapps problem. Tomorrow I'll check what is wrong with gapps. And then I'll start fix small problems. Still a lot of work, but now with working cm.
Wanted to first say I'm extremely grateful for your work; I've been keeping an eye on the CM threads here for weeks because this upgrade could make the P900 work like a new tablet.
I rely on it daily for college, so I'm kind of hesitant to flash just yet. But for those of you who try this ROM, I'd be very interested to know:
1) S-Pen -- For a separate S-Pen (the one with a separate eraser in addition side button), do the extra buttons work natively in LectureNotes or similar apps or does something else (e..g, "CM S Pen Add-on") need to be installed?
2) Encryption -- Does encryption/decryption work with TWRP 3.0.0.0 (or an earlier version)? Haven't had much luck getting TWRP to decrypt 5.0.2 stock, but as long as the OS can decrypt -- and I've been able to make backups -- I haven't worried about it.
3) Multi-Window -- In CM13, how adjustable are the windows? Can you achieve a setup where 2/3 of the screen is for one app while another app gets 1/3?
4) Camera -- Is it just the stock camera app that's having trouble? Would another app (e.g., Open Camera) work?
5) Microphone -- Is the mic working okay (e.g., for an app like LectureRecordings)?
6) Screenshots -- Is there a good solution for editing screenshots? Something that supports S-Pen? Being able to quickly crop and import things into LectureNotes is very useful. Noticed a new app called "Screen'it" in the store that might eventually be a good stock replacement, but I'd like to know if anybody's got a better solution.
Thanks so much for this! Just installed CM 13.0 build. Tried stock gapps 6.0 it failed. BUT....
Here is one *provisional* solution (you'll do better I'm sure) for the gapps setup wizard problem.
*Install the March 22 pico version.*
Of course, factory wipe.
Then follow the old school method and do both of these in ONE twrp session:
Flash CM 13.0 Marshmallow
Flash gapps 3/22 Pico
Wipe dalvik
Reboot
And you should be good to go!
This came up with another (older) tablet of mine, the Asus TF700t, which also returned the error when I first loaded a custom MM 6.01 version. That developer (Timduru) suggested using the March 22 Pico version of the gapps and it worked there.... and as I speak is now working on my Samsung Note Pro 12.2. I've not done anythng much with it yet, but will get back to you with anything I find.
Hope this is useful.
Blessings.
Okay... No Bluetooth. [Oops, correcton, Blue tooth *does* work.] No external sdcard. But very fast. Thanks and looking forward to usable version.

Thank you.
Yes, you are right, something wrong with the latest gapps. On p905 with latest gapps we are geting the same start wizard problem.
I finished the firmware late at night and had no time to check the different gapps.
Today will be full test and cleanup.
Remove sertupwizard from /system/priv-app to skip wizard. You can do it with twrp file manager
There is rallye no bit different betwene android 5.1.1 (cm12.1) and android 6.0.1 (cm13). The only one i really like is multi window. But still awesome work Valera.

You're absolutely right. Installed open Gapps 0322 Pico and no problems with GMS. Restoring all my apps now. Tried with Pico Gapps 0330 first but no luck. Thanks for your tip ?
Hi, I'm not sure if it's the right section where to post such a thread but I didn't found a better one for my problem.
I flashed lineage-14.1-20170213-nightly-find7s-signed.zip on my rooted Find 7 (2k version so Find 7s) with TWRP following all the standard steps (full wipe, ROM and gapps install, wipe cache/dalvik and than reboot).
Than when the ROM flash was finished (it took not as much as I thought) I rebooted and my screen become white with a grey OPPO logo in the middle and purple "powered by android" at the bottom (the usual power up screen but with inverted colors) and when I touch the screen it makes quick flashes with flashing black horizontal lines and it keeps being stuck in that way for minutes (way too much and it keeps doing that also after many reboots). The only way to recover the phone is to flash again Color OS (Android 5.0).
So i was wondering what's the problem with that ROM? How can i upgrade my old Android 5.0 to a newer 6.x or 7.x? Is there any rock solid ROM compatible with my F7s that I can flas with no such problems ?
Thankyou all for help!
OmniROM 6 is a mature and solid daily driver with the option to try OmniROM 7 which is still being improved regularly. Arguably the best ROM for Find 7.

It also has LVM support which allows you to merge your partitions so you will have more than 3gb of space for apps.
I've been running it for months, there are a few things that I miss from previous roms but is very stable and since this phone is getting old the ROM choices are getting slim. It's also the only one I can find that still supports LVM.

Thankyou both for helping me I found a list of omnirom ROMs in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/find-7/orig-development/omni-testbuilds-7a-7s-t3237065 , can i choose one of the last 6.0.1 to be sure it will work or can I trust the 7.1.1 updates?
You can trust both! And im not a hyper flashholic....
Just another few questions, LVM means that i can unify partitions in order to have more than 3 GB on device memory, right? I found that thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55187001&postcount=558 is it better to use the .iso or the .zip to apply LVM? And when do I have to apply the LVM setup, before or after flashing the new ROM/Gapps?
Thanks again

Guys, thanks to all of you! Really, you all made my day with all your advices
With past ROMs i was desperate because none of them worked but now i got rooted android 7.1.1 with merged partitions on my dear Find 7 so thanks again for helping me!
Unfortunately, my pixel C has now also got the problem that I can enter my unlock code on the lockscreen without unlocking the device. It's nice that the problem has been known for a long time and that Google is not doing anything about it.
Therefore, I now have no other option than to reinstall my Pixel C to get access to it again.
I want to switch directly to a custom ROM.
Is there a recommendation here? It should be stable and if possible, an update to Android 8.1 via dirty flash should be possible.
Is there a recommended ROM or should I take an 8.1 beta and update it later to official (dirty flash if possible)?
Do custom ROMs have the same problem to lock you out of the device despite correct unlock code?
Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator
I have always been disabling the lockscreen so i can't tell you about that, but i use Remix OS 3.0 (unfortunately not further supported and based on marshmallow) I'm very happy with it and would recommend it to you, but since I don't know if there is a fix for meltdown/sepctre you should wait till somebody will give some information to that in my meltdown/spectre thread.
Dear reader,
since a couple of days my device (samsung S7: SM-G930F) is running low on battery really quick. So I thought; it has been a while since my device asked me to update the new Lineage version. So I gave the app the instruction to look for updates, and it gave me the following notification.
Can't connect to download site. Please retry later.
When actually
You device is supported by the lineageOS team, but there are no versions that support this type of publication: Nightly. (this is translated from Dutch, so actual English sentece might be different).
Switching to Snapshot instead of Nightly in the Settings didn't help.
Then when searching again for updates it gave me the message:
No source file
Request for file: lineage-14.1-20181124-nightly-herolte-signed.zip To reconstruct the last update, the zip of the app should actually be installed. Do you want to select this file manually from storage, or download the last full zip-version?
When I press: download full zip-file it gives the following:
Error during implementation. Try to refresh.
When I click on select file (from storage), and select lineage-14.1-20180927-nightly-herolte-signed.zip, it gives me the message:
You should select the right source file. But I don't have that one on my storage; it's froma different date.
Can anyone help me please?
Kind regards,
Chris

S7 is no longer officially supported by lineageOS. You can search here in XDA for unofficial ROMs.
I have no big hope that a new ROM will really solve your battery issue. Most of the the success stories are a result of a clean ROM installation.

In addition to the outstanding information that @kurtn had provided...
There's no Official LineageOS Updater Apps on the Play Store.
The reason is that they have an implemented LineageOS Updater built into the Firmware and has no need to provide any such app separately from the firmware. That would just be counterproductive to the built in Updater.
The LineageOS Updater App(s) on the Play Store is via a 3rd party developer. I'm not stating that any/all of them are either good or bad but, individuals need to know that their Unofficial and is in no way supported by the Official Lineage Team Maintainers.
Just a few (so to speak) words of advice to keep in mind. I remember asking about them (quite a while ago) and those were the types of words/thoughts by @invisiblek and @haggertk (whose a part the Official Lineage Lead Maintainers).
No lectures here... Just some friendly information for you My Friend!
Good Luck!

Hi Kurt and Ibuprophen, thanks for your answers!
Now I have finally holiday and time to actually fix things it's time to continue this
So current situation;
Phone running out of battery within half a day without frequent using, apps crashing > update definitely required.
Phone model: Samsung S7 SM-930F
LineageOS version: 14.1-20181124-NIGHTLY-herolte (so last update is over a year old)
Android version 7.1.2
Options:
1. Just reset to factory settings? Most easy option, but I think it will have negative influence when I use the phone for another year?
2. I found this unoficcial ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/beta-lineageos-16-0-s7-herolte-t3842465, however, it doesn't include instructions and it is very technical and it speaks of Android 9 as base, which I don't have; just 7.1.2. Would that be a problem?
3. Update to 15.1 instead if that is easier?
So what would be your advice? Please bear in mind that I am a technical noob and can only follow instructions that are extremely clear & correct
Until now I haven't found instructions I felt comfortable with unfortunately.
By the way my laptop has Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.2

Oh, looks like ivan does a good job. I think it is a good idea to install his rom.
But be aware: whatever it is, that eats your battery, it can come back.
Edit: be aware: from the threads it looks like 15.1 and 16.0 are not SELinux enforcing. So the gain of security is not as high as one would expect from security patch level. So you can try a factory reset of 14.1 as well.
Do you think there is an easy, technical-illiterates-friendly way to install this version of ivan? I am not that keen to have the highest possible security.
When I am emptying the phone anyway, it seems best to me to have the most recent version (if it doesn't matter that I have android 7.1 and not android 9).

Hi,
I love my galaxy A70 with one ui 3.1, but i prefer pixel experience or some other aosp roms. Has someone hard bricked his phone by installing a custom rom? This is my main phone, and once I've tried to install lineage os from some 3rd party site, and i have successfully flashed twrp but when i've installed lineage os it was automatically booting into recovery . Can someone tell me, is custom roming a70 good and easy, and recommend me a rom?
i want:
- good look
- good battery life
- good performance
- android 12 maybe
i was looking at pixel experience 12 thread but it's closed and people had problems with it. i've heard that you cant install android 12 roms on galaxy a70. is that true?
sorry for my bad english
what rom do you recommend (calls must work)
It was quite hard to Hard-Bricked this phone if you followed the instruction.
As this is your main phone, I would suggested you to download a offical firmware (as backup in case something goes wrong) and remember to backup all your data. Also read what DOES work and what DOESNT work.
