Samsung One UI firmware for Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge is available, unofficially though. Ported from recently released Galaxy Note 7 FE’s One UI firmware, it will bring Samsung’s new UI and features to both phones. Samsung’s version of Android 9 Pie is called One UI, so Exynos variant Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge users can enjoy Android 9 goodies as well.
Samsung S9/S9+, Galaxy S8/S8+, Galaxy Note 9/ Note 8/Note 7 FE and few other phones are already updated to One UI. In addition, Samsung officially announced Android 9 Pie update for 24 devices, but Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge excluded from the list. However, BlackDiamond NFE ROM will bring the whole new interface and features of One UI to both phones.
BlackDiamond NFE ROM (Samsung One UI port) supports Exynos Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge only. You can install the ROM via TWRP, but keep in mind that the status is Beta, so some features may not work as expected. Below is the installation guide and ROM download.
Known bugs:
– Wi-Fi needs to enable manually after a reboot
– Hotspot not working
– Bluetooth will not work in conjunction with Wi-Fi
Prerequisites
