[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SkyAttacksX:
So, I don't know too much about low-level software (i.e. I know about root but I dont have the knowledge to exploit), however I found something strange that I need confirming on. Currently I am on APC2, and my phone died. I have package disabler on the AT&T dm server by the way. So when I was turning it on, I held vol up out of curiosity and went into the recovery.

It said "Installing system update" and as I'm not used to this, and really didn't want to update, I held down power + vol down + home to force reset it. I kept holding them to the point where the "Download Mode" prompt came up, but I pressed Vol down to reboot.

Without holding anything, it forced me into recovery and said "Installing system update..." so I just kinda accepted my fate at this point. But when it was done, it said "API level: 3" "Manual mode" and applied the ATT csc and all and recovery came up, but the baseband ver. did not change. So thinking I'm safe, I press the "reboot now" option.

I come from an S5 and the recovery never said this, but it said something about waiting for a DMVerity check or something. So after waiting a while it rebooted.

Right before it reboot, red text came up really quick and my eyes only caught the last bit of it that said "(Invalid Argument) if I'm not mistaken. Not sure if normal or anything but if someone could confirm this or tell me what happened, that would be great.

Just trying to contribute in any way possible, sorry if this wall of text is actually 100% useless lol.

EDIT: No update was applied btw, and the phone booted up regularly afterwards.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] M2490311:
I know this may sound like blasphemy but I can't think of many reasons why I'd even want a rooted edge. There's app ops, free WiFi tethering and the ability to Uninstall certain apps with root but this phone is a fun experience. Not much bloatware, cool features, features that root could make cooler, but I have mine running with what appeared to be a baked in Nova Launcher (the TouchWiz doesn't even allow the user to change transitions) but the Nova Launcher almost gives it a root feel. Root could make a few good things better but this is the first device I've owned where I didn't feel any immediate desire to root it out of the box like I did the s4 and s5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ^I'm_With_Stupid:
My main reason is to install viper4android to fix the awful sound on the device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] M2490311:
Yes...even with ear buds, there's a point on the volume rocker where it goes from "just quiet enough" to "intrusive loud."

I will say that I was bummed about not being able to use the peelsmart remote because apparently the S7

Edge doesn't have IR. I love that app because you can set up 3 smart TVs, two cable boxes and a smart DVD player in...minutes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ^I'm_With_Stupid:
Definately. Also each song I listen to sounds like it's mixed horribly. Either I can't hear the singer or I can't hear the accompanying music. Even poweramp can't save it, we desperately need Viper, so we desperately need root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nooomoto:
Adaway, root call blocker, wifikill...just a few benefits of having a rooted device
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] draexo:
My main reason is Titanium Backup for those few apps left that need data physically on the device. I agree though, the phone works well. I'm using Nova launcher and a custom icon pack.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] surf1:
It just annoys the heck out of me going into the Playstore for updates and having to manually do apps I want and skip apps (sammy and at&t and other included that I don't use) but keep getting notifications to update apps b/c you can't remove them. Plus as awesome as the phone is, root and rom always make things better including battery life etc. I thought my S5 was awesome, and it was at the time when it came out, then rooted and flashed dynamickat, and it took that awesomeness up a couple notches. Don't even need some crazy custom rom, TW is so nice now that a TW based rom (like dk) would be fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] CVertigo1:
Until root access is achieved, use Package Disabler Pro. You can disable the apps that you don't want and they won't show up in the PlayStore. It doesn't remove the actual data from the device, but it makes it invisible to you and apps. I have a pretty well debloated xml that I can send you for Package Disabler Pro, but it's for a Verizon S7, so you'll have to manually add the AT&T apps to the disabled list.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] surf1:
I have EZ Package Disabler Pro, as people said it was better then the Package Disabler Pro. But yeah shoot over the XML and I'll take a look. I disabled a bunch of stuff but quite a few things still pop up. I froze the AT&T update in hopes that root may be discovered, but cracked the screen so will pry replace under insurance....so new phone will pry have the updated firmware ughh lol

There is obviously a lot of great reasons to root, I had my s4 rooted and running the deadly venom (blue themed) rom and I used Wanam to trick it out but when android 5.0 dropped, my OS crashed. Got the s5 and rooted it but there were problems with the system ui not working and the dialer was messed up. If root were available for the s7 edge, I'd root the hell out of it but out of the box, I like how it has the least bloat and there are a lot of new features that can be made better. It's a good experience out of the box but I'd root on a second if it were available. They really started locking it down after 4.2.2 though. Has root even been achieved for the AT&T s5 on 5.1.1? Hell, has the At&t s5 even received android 6.0 yet?

Press the second key from the left (settings), select choose theme from the drop down menu that appears.

All the .cmt files which are there in your pocketcm folder will show up. Select the one you wish to implement... and that's it.

Good part is that now you can save as many themes as you want in the folder and select the one to use,unlike in the previous version you cant.

this is a pretty nice case. it's the Artech 21 Vivid Arkansas Series, Slim Dual Layer case. I got the black/silver one.

it's basically a TPU with a plastic exo on it that wraps all around. it's a tad thicker than most normal TPU's because of this, for example, my Spigen Rugged Armor TPU, and that's a bit thicker of a TPU. but, it feels pretty good in the hand, and the plastic shell on the outside doesn't feel too slippery in the hand or anything.

all cutouts are precise on the bottom, and everything works great. the buttons are pretty easy to push as well, and the case doesn't wrap in front of the phone too much so that it rips up a screen protector.

there's a big lip around the front so you can easily place this phone face down with the case on it, no problem. the case is also thick enough so there's a good amount of thickness around the camera so the camera will never come into contact with the table.

overall, nice little case. feels a bit more rugged than a standard TPU, but it's not huge or anything. i like it!
