New device: Samsung Galaxy S7

Merged Imported Administrator requested to merge Polynomdivision:device/samsung-g930f into device-samsung-g930f

Created by: Polynomdivision

I wanted to give it a try and did my best (probably not good enough, though) at trying to create a device and a kernel package for the G930F (Galaxy S7) from Samsung.

While I got the kernel to compile with a rather hacky workaround, I did not test flashing or anything else besides compiling, as I do not want to risk breaking my phone.

    I now replaced the CHANGEME with the appropriate path to the config and fixed the indentation(At least I hope so) of the one line in the APKBUILD.

    @ollieparanoid Somehow I must've missed that one CHANGEME :smile: I really do hope that someone will continue this port or that I will get brave enough to risk my S7. I also added the device to the "Not booting" section and created a device page, where I linked this PR. Just as asked :smile:

    Thanks a lot. I have a S7 too but don't want to risk bricking it.

    @Polynomdivision @rrooij alternatively you can flash the kernel in the recovery partition and boot it with the key combination, and the pmOS system on a SDcard. That shouldn't break the normal android os.
