@SuzieQ I find myself unable to install the unofficial upgrade to Android 10 that Clarence provided. My S7 Edge is currently running 0.14 oreo. In TWRP, I go to wipe, then format data.Then I wipe cache and system. Then sideload 0.15 unofficial. It seems to install correctly, but on reboot, the phone gets stuck on the Galaxy splash screen.
I donât know of any âhero2lteâ customROM 0.15 from @itsclarence. Please give me a link to this customROM.
Okay, another effort. This one is build on a manifest from ivanmeler
I got more confidence in this build (820mb)
I tested the version for the Samsung Galaxy S7 âherolteâ with e-0.15-q-20210304-UNOFFICIAL-herolte-by-itsclarence. The starting point was this ROM e-0.15-p-20210227-UNOFFICIAL-herolte by LaurentG.
First, I flashed daringly via âdirty flashâ, then via âclean flashâ. Both times the same result: Start up to the Samsung Galaxy S7 logo, no bootloog, nothing - holdup
Okay, now Iâm back e-0.15-p-20210227-UNOFFICIAL-herolte_by_LaurentG. Booting started within three seconds and the bouncing -e rejoices with me.
So, on to the next attempt. And thank you @itsclarence for taking care of the S7 / S7 Edge as well. I like to test, even more often. So here we go.
I canât do it too. Itâs broken. :)(
Time to give this new one a tryâŚ
Oh joy!! This one installed and booted. Now, to see if there are any issues.
GreatâŚtest and enjoyâŚ
Let me know how itâs behaving.
Yep, Android 10 in About Phone. Thanks for your help, guys. Iâm going to have some fun with this.
I had some trouble with the phone app. Apparently, it does not like contacts restored by Titanium. The app will continually stop when trying to access the contacts. Itâs much happier with a restore from Coolmuster
Backup.
It took me a bit to find the Developer options, they were moved. I like how it remembers my usb settings.
Uh oh, just tried to call voicemail. I can connect, but the phone keeps stopping. Emptying the cache doesnât help.
Hey @davking glad you got it sorted- between @itsclarence and @SuzieQ I knew you would! The default Android dialer issue is known- try using Simple Dialer available via f-droid- that should fix you right up.
I got Simple Dialer installed, works much better. I noticed that sound quality is better than before, except for the speaker. It tends to drop out with both 10 and Oreo.
test and enjoy is not possible because - Access Denied.
Hahahaha⌠itâs available nowâŚ
Iâm building another one for hero2lte right now on more recent LineageOS sources. I didnât succeed building that way the last few days. But know itâs running and building. It will be ready in about 3 hours. Maybe you gentleman @SuzieQ and @davking can test also this upcoming build, to compare with the latest one.
Regards Edwin
I have not discovered any other issues. And you guys are correct, 10 is much better than Oreo (except that phone dialer, which is fixed with Simple Dialer from F-Droid). Also got my backups installed OK. Thanks guys!
I almost missed your latest post. Iâll be happy to try the new build.

Sir @itsclarence, since Iâve since disposed of my S7 Edge (hero2lte), Iâm testing with Samsung Galaxy S7 (herolte) and your e-0.15-q-20210305-UNOFFICIAL-herolte. So may I ask you to continue to produce a Q-build for this device. My experience is reported under /e/ Devices | Samsung | user-experience.
