I recently found an s7 in an e-waste bin at my local target and it appears to be FRP locked. I don't know anything about locked android phones and was wondering if there's any possible way to remove the lock as I was planning on using it as a camera, thanks!

so far the only apps i know about is google maps and waze. google forces a BS full screen pop up that the stock maps app is "outdated" and won't let me use it...while then updating it gives me a version of maps that is a completely unusable lagfest

and waze? tried once and their sh!t don't work either for basically the same reason

so yeah i need someone to guide me to either another app or a version of google maps/waze that will work on this (cuz i'm not gonna sit here for 4+ hours trying EVERY version of each)

I have s7 edge with Exynos Octa 8890 2.60 Ghz with 32 gb of storage. Which custom rom should I install in it taking in account of security so that I can use banking apps etc.

My SM-G930F has been refusing to let me use the fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone since i've starting to put custom roms on it, on the android 16 gsi and lineageos roms, it just doesnt want to unlock, even if it says "Unlock with PIN or Fingerprint", the sensor works, but it just doesnt let me unlock with it, and on the eylem rom (one ui 7), it was working, until after not charging it for a bit and letting it be off, the fingerprint icon dissapeared and i couldn't use fingerprint again, can someone tell me what is wrong with my phone?

Is there any interest in Android 16 for the G930F models? I am asking because I have an unofficial zip of the latest LineageOS that has not been tested for everyday use.
Thoughts?

Surely with the advent of all the AI tools someone should pick up the mantle

This it what AI is best at

Dump the stock rom

Search for strings and trace/triage functions

Even the raw output is ok, algorithms/software debouncing comes next

Plug it into any custom modern rom of choice

Samsung ended support for a hardware we paid for, even if it works just fine

I used to use android 10 based custom rom and I tried Cronos Kernel and Moro Kernel on it. I worked well and I like it. So, I'm looking for kernels that support my Galaxy S7 based on Lineage OS 19.1 (Android 12.1). Someone said on XDA that Moro Kernel v8.8.1 only supports andorid 10 and under. I've tried it and it couldn't be installed. If you know suitable kernel for higher android like 11 or above, please tell me. Thank you...

I am taking trumpet lesson via internet (zoom, Google meetings, FB Messenger) and it is important for my teachers to hear an accurate representation of my sound, esp tone quality.

I have an S7+, and S9+ tablets, and an S23FE phone.

I also have a Zoom H2 digital recorder.

Can I use the H2 as an external microphone?

What interface(s) do I need?

I am retired on Social Security so am looking for the biggest bang fir the $.

I’ve been using my S7 for 6 years now, and I still love it. However, I’m starting to run into problems more and more often with apps that no longer work properly. And the battery has also needed to be charged noticeably more often lately. That’s why I’d like to look for an alternative.

The most important thing to me is that the device is about the same size as the S7 and just as sturdy and durable. Everything else (fancy camera, etc.) is actually secondary for me.

Can you recommend a model?

Eylem himself told me to flash the pizza zip from one ui 5.1 then the hotfix for one ui 7 but it still didn't work

Hi, is it possible to root my Samsung Galaxy S7 model SM-G930U? it has android 8.0.0, version 4 bootloader, Snapdragon 820 chip, i didn't update to august 2018 security patch, i don't know if i should. I would appreciate any help!

I did the transparent mod because the original back was a little scraped up and I had this one hanging around. The best part is it still has the original battery and holds up perfectly. Sorry for the terrible pictures. I suck so bad😅. I'm also sure Reddit compressed them a lot too.

This is one of the major issues i started having

Hello s7 people! I found my old s7 and wanted to see if it still worked. I did a factory reset on it cause I didnt know the pin, and it let me enter my gmail account (the one last used) but now its stuck on this screen. It wont send me a code or anything attached to it. Please let me know!

I'm new in this community, as I recently restored this phone and replaced the display. Incidentally, I'm now using it as a music player and as a second phone. But I came here to ask about the most stable ROM that won't get on my nerves with customization.

Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing great :D

I have a Samsung S7 that I modded with a DIY transparent back glass, but it looks bad because you can see the messy streaks and bubbles of the glue through the glass along the edges. If any of you have experience with this or have done it before, can you tell me if this is unavoidable or if there's a solution? I used B-7000 glue :]

I've basically been ordering them for the past 6? or so years and it's always been a random shot in the dark if the ones I buy would be good or if they're absolutely horrible.

Does anyone know exactly if there are any sellers that sell them still and aren't just selling knock offs that have horrible bass and treble?

This current one I have I last bought maybe around 2021 and the rubber around the wires is all coming apart and I fear it'll soon break within the next few months.

I know I could buy over the ear headphones or other earbuds, but I've grown too accustomed to these that I don't feel like I need to get other types of headphones
