Notes
- Kernel features for waydroid are enabled, but waydroid does not support Halium 11.0 currently, cannot test.
- Dual sim Galaxy S7 exynos can only use 3G/4G on one of the sim slot at a time. While it is possible on Android to pick a sim for 3G/4G, on this port, only sim1 can use 3G/4G, sim2 is 2G only.
- Fingerprint sensor drivers are patched to work with halium, but only tested on one of the possible sensor model. Create an issue if fingerprint sensor is not working for you.
