I looked in more before, and didn't see them, but after checking again, I now see them. Thank you.

Used V13. I just went through all these steps yesterday, on a fresh phone received from verizon. None of those Google apps mentioned were removed. (granted I would have reinstalled most)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] mikeyk101:
I just wanted to let you know that the blank buttons under settings are finally gone. I had flashed V12 and they were still there. After flashing V13 though, they finally went away. Thank you for everything you have done on the S7. Very much appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] wilson289:
Awesome, really great work man thanks for putting this all together. Even a noob like myself who does not have a developer's background should be able to execute this. I will post an update once I've done so! Real quick follow up to V13 of the debloat script -- will I be able to re-install these apps? I actually use all the Google Apps and would like to have them all re-installed (even if I have to do so manually). Last question - how will software updates happen? Can I still use Verizon's Software Update Assistant to push updates as they come, while rooted? With my 6P, I had to sideload, but I used WugFresh's NRT to do so :). Thanks x10000000 for the quick reply to my question!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
I'm an idiot and told you guys V12/V13, I meant V13/V14. V13 doesn't, V14 does. Sorry for the confusion.

It depends on the CSC you install -- the one mentioned specifically in my instructions will wipe data, but if you use the one that starts with HOME, it will not. I don't recommend using that one unless you accept that your phone may act weird across flashes.

Glad to hear! Don't forget to check my deep debloater instructions and/or flashable update, too.

Bro... you are a lifesaver

Was pulling my hair out over no doze until I found this thread from another random post by a user. No one in the Verizon s7 edge forum knows about this thread. I'm going to link this thread in my guide for users to come here and get the fix they need.

Thanks so much for the time you put into this.

Cheers!

Holy crap. First of all, I'm on 935U firmware and the ENG kernel which has pretty poor performance, lots of lags and stutters even with kernel tweaks.

I had this idea of flashing the CP (modem/radio) file from the 935A firmware to try and fix this VoLTE stuff we've been working on with this 935U firmware. Not sure if it fixes the VoLTE issues yet. Haven't tried video calling yet.

But, an interesting side effect is that performance is WAYYYY better! Stock feel and super responsive! AnTuTu 125K where as before it was only 95K and laggy and stuttering.

So basically, I'm running:

935U firmware (AP, BL, CSC)

935A modem (CP)

ENG Kernel

Rooted

psouza4 kernel script

Note: I'm on ATT.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Glad to help!

I just took a look at your guide and I'd definitely pull out this:

XTouchWiz itself has some issues because it's conflicting with others.xml by writing default values to feature.xml. This can cause force-closes in Settings and other oddness.

Additionally, disabling dynamic voltage frequency scaling is a good way to drain the battery much faster when the phone is idle since you'll always be running at max voltage. You'll gain only a very minor performance boost which would be negligible if you fixed the actual CPU /sys/dev values instead (the one you just flashed, yourself). I'd never recommend anyone disable DVFS. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
I'm getting 136K in AnTuTu with just my fixes/debloat on Verizon (my device is SM-G930V). No lag, stutters, nada. And I'm super skeptical that (a) flashing a modem/radio file would help with UI/CPU performance and (b) is generally a good idea overall cross-carriers. I'd recommend that anyone considering this really give it some serious thought before diving in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] dajmanjt:
Thanks for that info!

I will make those changes asap!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Tikerz:
I should note that I'm on AT&T. So VZW users should NOT flash the 935A CP file.

Xda should make a unified thread for s7 and s7e like they did for the s6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Current version is V14 now, make sure you use that one. :)

Anything that isn't pure bloat garbage or Knox (which won't work without unrooted, secure boot anyway) can be re-installed through the Google Play Store. It's just stuff that doesn't need to live in /system. That includes Google apps like Maps, Gmail, Hangouts, YouTube, etc.

You won't get software updates anymore and the Settings -> Check for updates option will force-close if you try. When newer updates are released, we'll have to figure out how that'll affect us then.

Yeah someone should since a lot of this is universal. In fact the only reason the Verizon versions have a different set of files is because I'm flashing a modified framework-res.apk (PE1 build) to bypass hotspot tethering provisioning.

Just flashed v14 w/bloat remover over v13 and I still have the google apps for hangouts/maps (again, I would have reinstalled these from the play store,so it's not an issue for me, just thought I should note it)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] dajmanjt:
I suppose the only way to flash the new su is with a computer using the root.bat?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
It won't remove them if you've done so yourself and installed as a user app... check where they are right now? It definitely got rid of any Google Play Store apps I had in my /system like YouTube and Maps but left Chrome, Gmail, and Hangouts that I had already manually uninstalled from /system.

Without some modifying of the delivery, yeah -- that's the best way to go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
If the system apps were updated through the Play Store, then the updated version will still be in /data/app/ after debloat. If you long press the apps in the app drawer and uninstall them, it will delete the app from /data/app/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
For the brave who want more, more, more, I just put out a more hardcore performance/battery tweak guide. The guide is not newbie-friendly and I'm offering no support/help with it, it's just there to help with people who are more comfortable tweaking their system and okay with restoring from stock if they screw up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ApatheticLoser:
I still see Youtube in /system/apps, but I'm not seeing maps or hangouts. I never did manually install those two, but they're in /data already.

Is there an easy way to temporarily remove the Xposed Framework?

Apparently you need to log into Snapchat before installing the framework. (I would use the titanium backup method suggested in http://xdaforums.com/xposed/snapchat-rooted-phones-xposed-t3283198 but I'm coming from a non-rooted S4)

I should have read up a bit more before jumping into Root, but I haven't had it since before my S4, so I was eager.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Wanam included an uninstaller right here. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] marksibert:
There are some xposed modules that will bypass the pin lock. "LockScreen Disabler" (another xposed module) is what I'm using on my Droid Turbo. (I've been following the S7 forums waiting for root - so I'll be upgrading to an S7 very soon!) Yet another option is to use an email program that ignores the Exchange Server policy. AquaMail does this (I think). There was another one called "Enhanced Email" that I used years ago - I'm not sure if it's still around.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] W1nks:
I followed the instructions and got root, xposed, and the patch setup. I have run into a problem where I can't see my files on my PC when connected via USB. When I click the "Cable Charging" from the drop down it doesn't give me the options like before to do Media Files or Pictures. Any idea what is wrong? I'm also having an issue with my SD card. I tried copying a video for the internal storage to the SD card and I get an error whenever I try to play it. If I copy it back to in the internal storage it works fine. Any idea?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Check settings -> developer options -> USB charging and enable MTP. There's other posts here in this thread that discuss this with further detail on how to get it working again via notification, I forget the details offhand.

Generic Marshmallow external SD card permission issue, I'd imagine -- they changed how SD card permissions work. You need to authorize each app (and the process seems different for each app, so I can't help you out there with any specifics).

Psouza4,

Thanks for all your help. Strange boot loop that came on out of nowhere. I have a question, if I want to go back to root can I flash the "Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.tar" in the AP section of Odin and then flash the "HOME_CSC_VZW_G930VVZW2APE1_CL7722939_QB9709794_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5" in CSC to keep all my settings. That would be nice. Just askin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Yep, the HOME_ version will keep your data. Not recommended for a clean guide, but if you absolutely gotta have your data (like to fix boot looping), that's totally the image you want to flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] sonjohn1:
re flash root tar

Am I understanding you correctly. Currently I am back on factory firmware. I want to re-flash the root tar in AP and the Home tar in CSC. Are you saying that works and will save all settings data/prefs so I don't loose anything? Sorry to be so dense.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ykjae:
Reflash all 4 files in Odin just use home csc instead of vzw csc.. And u can use the rooted boot img instead of the stock boot image

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Psychlone:
I'm not sure I'm the only one experiencing this issue, but SELinux is still set to ENFORCING after following the instructions and flashing the fix + debloat zip.

The entire reason behind root for me is to fix the one thing that this phone ***sucks*** at... sound quality. I have used V4A for years with unbelievable results and it's literally the only thing I need to work on this phone - everything else is great. But, V4A won't install correctly. Rather, it installs but the driver requires "Permissive" on the SELinux to install correctly and that's not happening here for me. Anyone else confirm that their SELinux is still set to "Enforcing" via About Phone??

If there's a workaround, I'm game for that as well - I absolutely NEED V4A on this phone. Perhaps an app that changes SELinux modes that safe to run on these??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Even when changing secure boot off and ro.secure and ro.build.selinux both to 0 in build.prop, the phone will say Enforcing in About Phone. I'm not sure that there's anything we can do about it since we get root permissions so late in the trust chain and would probably need a permissive kernel to change that.

O. M. G.

I have TWO hero's today!!

I had semi given up on root for the S7 knowing that at some point down the road it would be achieved (probably), so I had quit checking in a couple weeks back having been in here a few times a week for months.

Today I log in just to check to see if there's anything new and [MENTION=4945751]PSouz[/MENTION]a's post literally made my heart skip several beats. (Crackflasher going back to the OG D1!!)

But then I was all disappointed when SELinux was still set to Enforcing, knowing that V4A required Permissive as per previous struggles on other phones in the past.

Then along comes [MENTION=2530686]cuezaireekaa[/MENTION] with the answer. HOLY CRAP. I'm extremely thankful to the both of you for this!

Should we be using apps like Kernel Toolkit if we use your script or should we remove them first?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Remove and reboot -- my flash will run its script on every reboot to fix the CPU settings, so you won't need to reflash it. If you just want to monitor the CPU, I'd recommend Simple System Monitor.

Yes, works great. I personally use it. However, you can cause yourself some issues with some settings.

How can I make my S7 work in Australia???

Hello S7 gurus,

I hope someone can help me here. I've just bought a Samsung S7 from Verizon (US) and I am trying to use it here in Australia. Of course, it doesn't work properly as the frequencies are different to my carrier's (vodafone). The main issue is with the data speeds, it doesnt connect to 4G or LTE. So my question is, is there way I can resolve this by flashing another rom? if so, which rom? According to manual the s7 model for Verizon is SM-G930V. cheers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
I'm going to look into this as well, as it's an annoyance for me. It's not a dire need, but having to go into Developer Options every time I want to use MTP is pretty annoying lol. The creature comforts make all the difference, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] downhillvinnie:
There are a couple Xposed downloads, NoUsbNotification and Use USB for Marshmellow V1.2, I downloaded those 2 and installed. now once you set it to MTP it will lock on the when plugging into a computer or using Android Auto. If you reboot you have to go back in and reset it and it sticks until a reboot again
