I think you both should go into Xposed and download a module called "X Tether". It helped my last Verizon rooted phone into getting hotspot without needing for verification.

I'm still getting pretty bad lag and performance issues, and I'm not even talking about my phone yet!

Just kidding. But seriously, anyone else having performance issues even after doing all of the above fixes? 50% of the time it runs fine, the other 50% of the time it runs worse than my Droid Bionic did 6 years ago. Only thing left to try is a complete clean install and root .. I'd hate to do that, but if it comes to it I will.

For those of you that still have MMS issues, check that you haven't frozen or disabled IMS Service or IMS Settings or MmsService in Package Disabler or Titanium backup.

Package disabler pro automatically disabled IMS and MMSservice for me when I ran their generic "Disable all bloatware" from the settings and it got some important things, so beware of that.

Re-enabling them brings it back to working order.

I flashed it on the PEH universal firmware and it caused a bootloop, so it only works on Verizon firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] dajmanjt:
Yea so I can confirm that flashing the zip while running the U firmware will bootloop your device.

However the files contained in the zip are needed to get Verizon functions working properly on the U firmware. Or I should say they simplify things so you don't have to manually edit the CSC file.

I extracted the zip and pulled the system folder onto the phone after I had flashed the U firmware and rooted. That system folder contains the CSC file and the ims apk. Using root explorer I took the CSC file and imported it into the proper place overwriting the original file. I then took the ims apk included and imported it into its proper place, which overwrites the original ims file that's already there. The only other thing I had to do was change the one setting in the build.prop which fixed the wifi password saving function and I was done.

I'm now running the U firmware with all Verizon functions fully operational. And my phone is blazing fast, rooted, stable, and getting great battery life.

Remember, you still have to change the CPU settings to interactive or ondemand or your phone will suck. I use interactive and am getting great results.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] konoi:
Can you elaborate on how great your battery life is? I'm also running rooted U firmware with xposed mods like adblock and xtouchwiz, and I feel like i'm getting worse SOT. I used like 25% per hour at about max brightness playing game/s. So about 4 hours SOT at max brightness, which I feel like worse than stock. I can't be sure though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] :
I posted the csc and build prop edits for the U firmware in a flashable zip two days ago here. The only thing I didn't try was to get WiFi calling working. Everything seems to be working fine for me. I like the VoLTE icon so I don't bother with the other mod. I uninstalled Kernel Adiutor and set the animation and duration scales to .05 per [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] suggestions in his ROM thread. That seems to work fine for me. Thanks for the info though. I agree this firmware works the best.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] MArtyChubbs:
I noticed that battery life on U was awesome until it was rooted. Engineering kernel used to get rood is not optimized...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Dameon87:
Can you verify that using said approach fixes Wifi calling on the U firmware as well? I've been testing and trying to get that to work, to no avail thus far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] dajmanjt:
I am getting between 5 to 6 hours sot with medium to heavy usage. I use greenify, amplify, and forcedoze to assist with my deep sleep.

I had no idea there was a zip already created. Thanks for that! Quick question: did you make all the changes that jrkruse made in his original CSC file included in his zip? That's the file i used and it has worked great for me. If you recreated your zip to include the ims.apk hack that zip would be super beneficial for those looking to get all the cool hacks in one place. Also why would you uninstall kernel adiutor? I'll have to go read up what the reasoning is behind that. I use it and it works flawlessly. Of course turning animations to .5 is a must, but i always do that on every phone. Always helps.

One more thing.... you like that volte icon?!?!?! ?

I would have to disagree with you. While the kernel might not be optimized, I am getting great battery life. The settings I chose to use were interactive governor (CPU), deadline (I/O scheduler), and Reno (IP congestion). Super smooth and battery life is great.

This I have not verified. I never use Wi-Fi calling so I have no experience in testing this feature.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] :
No, I only included the mods to turn on HD Voice and fix the WiFi password bug. As for the ims.apk I don't know what to mod so I'll leave that one alone. I've ben out of the "root loop" for quite some time and haven't gotten back into messing with the apks as of yet. I uninstaled kernel adiutor to see if it made a big difference and for me the animation edit did it. And yes as strange as it sounds I like the VoLTE icon :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] dajmanjt:

{GUIDE} Flashing the SM-935U firmware onto your Verizon S7 Edge and Rooting

Sent from my Verizon S7 Edge (U firmware / rooted)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Dameon87:
I had tried that already before, and no it doesn't quite work. There's more to it than just the CSC in this case. There's also an APK called VoWifiSPG that's on the Verizon variant. This contains part of the menu system for voice over wifi and some functions. I deodexed the file and pushed it and have tinkered a bit, but something is still missing. Upon going to Advanced Calling -> Activate Wi-Fi Calling it puts up a spinner "This may take a few moments..." After about a minute this times out and returns "Unable to activate WiFi Calling at this time. Please try again later."

It's likely something like a lib, or a service or something missing. I'm running through the logcats now to see if I can't find out where it's failing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] dajmanjt:
Thanks for digging through to find a solution. If you do find the solution give me a heads up, I'd love to post it in my guide to help everyone else on the U firmware fix their wifi calling.

Sent from my Verizon S7 Edge (U firmware / rooted)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Dameon87:
Not going to be an easy one I think. It appears the VoWifiSPG apk relies on VzwSilentSSOEngine.apk. After pushing that, it gets a bit further, but it's not generating a proper single sign on request. My guess is that it relies on the model number and build in the build.prop. So I'm going to try overriding those values there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Dameon87:
Sadly, no joy yet. There's something missing somewhere and I'm just too tired to see it. I'll pick it back up in the AM. Changing the build.prop did fix the Video calling portion in Advanced calling though. It now also shows the video calling icon in the dialer. So one step closer to fully functioning at least.

Anyone else having issues with phone calls, specifically the person on the other end hears a bunch of noise and can't hear your voice well at all. A reboot fixes it, apparently temporarily. It has happened to me every time I go to make a call (just twice in 2 days). I do have it set to auto-record calls, so I'm going to go disable that. I remember having this same issue on a previous phone, probably my LG G2 back in the day. Not sure how long after rebooting it takes for the problem to crop up, so my testing will take a day or two probably. Just wondering if anyone has already seen this issue and resolved it.
