The Toxic rom from this root guide is really bad... stuff are half translated. is there any other rom that works for G9350?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] reneriverac:
Hi Dave,

I see Aurora ROM V20 was released yesterday, would you please post a working download link to that rom. Once I flash it I will report back my experience with it. This new version fixed Bluetooth bug.

Thanks in advance!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] xmanz:
I really don't know what you guys are moaning about. List the issues. Mine runs excellent. Theres only one small Chinese symbol next to the date and in reboot menu with English alongside… ...yiu are picking Yes, I understand language at start I presume… ..

On the keyboard sometimes Chinese ..just get google keyboard.

And have you run Toxic apk ? To get google goodies..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] reneriverac:
Your comments are not fair, Dave has put a lot of effort on this work and the guide really works, if you have something better to offer you can share it otherwise just be grateful.

Have a nice day

Hi folks,

I was able to find a Chinese forum that lead me to a working link to download AURORA V20 from a very slow and unstable Chinese server.

After the hard work I just wish to share a working link from a US server where I uploaded the file. I already flashed it on my Galaxy S7 Edge (Snapdragon) and can confirm is working fine.

Aurora_G9350_G9300_N_S8_FULL_V20.0

https://1drv.ms/u/s!ApHexcxFtg3Mge0sQQfyxFSYW4WOvQ

Enjoy it and please report back if you find bugs in the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Thank you! I'll have it on Android File host soon also
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Alright so here's Aurora v20, I'm not putting it in the OP or modding it yet, as I see it has "S8" in it's title and I don't really like when our device pretends to be the S8 (ours is better than S8 anyways :P ) .., now I suggest you set up the ROM and open Aurora SETTINGS and click on the GOOGLE one and enable Google. Then you can install my English Toxic SETTNGS apk after Google is enabled. For now that should do it:

ROM:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120739715

Toxic SETTINGS apk below.

Report on any bugs if there are any, and let me know battery and Antutu / performance:)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] reneriverac:
Thank you Dave!!!

So far the rom is running flawless, no bugs that I'm aware, runs cooler than before and battery seems to last longer, really nice job from team Aurora, I will report back after a week of usage as a daily driver.

Attached all apps that I can confirm are working fine.

Really enjoying it!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
That's great, can you tell me what device model is in settings? Is it g9350?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] reneriverac:

My SIM card isn't working after installing SU via TWRP. Have anyone experienced this? Anything I can do to salvage this phone?

What I did

1. Flash stock 7.0 for SM-G9350 with partition

2. Flash TWRP

3. Flash SuperSU.zip

4. Phone can boot, is rooted but with no Wi-Fi and can't detect any SIM

So I did

1. Install Toxic after flashing required BL,CP

2. Now phone can boot, can detect SIM card

3. But it doesn't have SU. I tried installing again via TWRP but SU still says no Binary

4. I tried Aurora V20 but got a bootloop

I really need this for my work in a day or two, can anyone please help me?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hilary trump:
Toxic rom v17 is running well on my G9350. Everything is fine, battery usage is awesome. Following the instruction, I can use Play store without issue but have a minor one: Anytime open Gmail app, there is always a pop-up window "gmail is having trouble with google play services", ignore that,I can use Gmail normally. So I tried to delete data cache of both Play store and Gmail & reboot but it could not help. Which version of Google play services should I try? Or any other solution? Thank in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Give google play services permission to location
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hilary trump:
I already gave it permission to location and then Gmail and Play store can run normally. But that issue always appear anytime I open Gmail. Btw, Google play services is up-to-date ver 11.0.55

Here the screenshot, sorry I can not upload the picture: 2.pik.vn/201724f84810-0632-4d42-ac85-cee770498325.jpg

Thank you so much for your help :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Looks like a problem with Gmail. I don't know how to fix
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hilary trump:

hello im looking to switch to this rom. whats exactly not translated into english ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Is this v20 or v17 on first page ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Just a few things during install, then it's all english after it's done
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hilary trump:
both Aurora v20 and Toxic v17 got this issue. First I tried Aurora v20. Because of small size icon. some Chinese letters , I changed to Toxic v17.

One more thing: Is weather widget got data from a server in China? It can not show weather info of my home city in Vietnam.

Many thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] xmanz:
On the v20 just disable or uninstall Chinese apps use accuweather or alike

Ive used package disabler to disable all bloatware. It's running so good for me .
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hilary trump:
Tks! I did the same, use GO weather
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Hey I'm curious as any of you who have used v17 AND v20: which gives you longer battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] xmanz:
Hi Dave to me the latest V20 gives me better battery in running in batt save mode. And using average usage I get whole day plus next morning for 3 hrs. Can vary as you know depending on what your upto..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Okay, what about not on batt save mode? Same as v17 or better?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] xmanz:
Ill test tommorow on full batt. So what power ? mode the standard or whizz bang?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Standard please
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] xmanz:
Ive just looked at my settings it's set on optmised. Plus theres a swag of bloat disabled… it's been on 15hrs now and down to 52% using quite regular sorry wrong screen shot
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] xmanz:
Try this one
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
That sounds promising:) I'm playing with the ROM now, Toxic style :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
So I've posted Enlishified Toxic v20 N in the OP. Debloated of the crapware :) Runs smooth :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hilary trump:
I tried, looks like aurora v20 with a little bit different. Runs smooth, beautiful rom
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
So I went back to v17 after realizing battery life is much better on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] xmanz:
Hmm interesting I find the opposite. ..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
I guess each device is a bit different
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] reneriverac:
After a week of heavy usage as a daily driver in my experience Aurora V20 has solid battery life, 5+ hour of screen on time (screenshot attached) and by the way have not seen a single bug.

Great job made by Aurora team, thank you!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
v17 I get a lot better, first pic is after leaving it unplugged overnight, then using all day, 30+ hours with 12 hours remaining.

Second pic is more realistic, with 16+ hours and 5+ hours remaining, that's today and I've been screen on all day :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mercifool:
After i reboot, i lost root. where is the flashable zip for supersu? i cant find it. only the apk in the main post.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] xmanz:
Wow that's that's brilliant batt. Was there much wifi in there? I couldn't. Get that?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] xmanz:
This should do the job.. As long as it didn't get corrupted. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Yes wifi connection 90%of the time, the other 10% on data while driving in my jeep.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hilary trump:
Finally, I found out how to fix "gmail is having trouble with google play services". Very simple. Settings --> Applications --> Google play services --> Permissions-->All permissions (at upper right corner) --> Scroll down to SMS and give all SMS permissions. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] quinto0007:
i also have that issue, after i enabled the sms permissions on google play services still not worked :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hilary trump:
What you did is not enough to fix it. Remember --> "All permissions" (at upper right corner) :) and give all permissions

Here a how-to-do screen captured video I made, hope it's useful.

Fenghen rom v12: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8dlqus1uXR4RnNveVdpdVAzRWc

I installed this rom but unfortunately rom setting is all in Chinese, wall of Chinese text, no English. So I gave up and will come back this rom if I have rom setting fix in English. Ah using TWRP to flash Fenghen with the same way we install Toxic, Aurora...

Yesterday I tried Aurora v22. After rebooting, install file .apk Aurora Setting Fix: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120706236 (Everytime restart, you have to reinstall file Setting Fix, I think it's not a big deal :) ). And Next step is the same #1

Here, battery life on my G9350: over 1 day and 27% remain. My G9350 consumed only 1% of battery in stanby mode in nighttime (about 6 hrs)

my setup: AOD is on in daytime, off in nighttime (23h - 7h), disable automatically running some apps especially: Fb, Messenger, Viber...

I don't know why battery was draining so fast when I tried v20 last time. So this time I checked deep sleep mode. Everything is in good condition

Guys, you should try v22
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
That's awesome thanks for the write up!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hilary trump:
:) you're welcome. S8 AOD looks much more beautiful than the older one, also consumes more battery:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Can you take a pic of the new aod and post?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dehkun:
Sounds very nice!

How did you successfully download the Aurora ROM v22? I can't even create a chinese account in order to visualize the download button. :silly:

Also, are there any English instructions to flash this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hilary trump:
https://passport.baidu.com/v2/?reg&u=http://pan.baidu.com&regType=1&tpl=netdisk&overseas=1 link for non-Chinese. I use Google translate add-on for that page to understand. On the first line: choose your country code and put your cellphone number beside. Wait a moment they'll send a code to your phone

2nd line: Your nickname

3rd line: Put code you just received

4th line: your password

If that page is not support your country. Simply following this TUT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UVGybrhYTk

If you only wanna download files from that. It's no need to register acc. Here the trick ( for Chrome + IDM)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwcPGnSxdEA

---------------------------------------

the instruction is same as page 1 thanks [MENTION=5858137]davecotefilm[/MENTION]

reboot into TWRP: wipe data+davik ART cache blah blah :) then install --> choose rom .zip you just copied in SD card. Next step following my above post :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] xmanz:
Thanks for the fengshu Rom link I installed it to try and the Chinese was no bother just keep selecting right hand arrow..then English etc it looked very similar to Aurora most stuff worked but the rims a bit dated as far as security updates go back to April. I installed open gapps as the toxic one I've used before would install Google...then open gapps installed ok but lots of docs on Google stuff..so I didn't see the need to do more on it so reverted to my v22 backup.. good exercise tho...:cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hilary trump:
me too. Looking at s7 edge (exynos), jealuos :rolleyes: too many roms. And how about v22, which's better in battery life, v17 or v22
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] KLit75:
My s7 will be here soon. I'm fairly certain it'll arrive with a SnapDragon. Basically just preparing myself to get it rooted with TWRP as soon as possible. Can I still rely on the instructions in the OP? Or has anything changed?

Ideally Id prefer a stock android experience. Coming from 6p I'm kinda spoiled, but realistically I'm hoping for performance and stability. If anyone has advice, thoughts etc, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dehkun:

My device is Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G9300 on version Nougat Stock Rom 7.0 now. I follow you instruction but I can't install TWRP 3.0.2. I tried several times. In Odion still show "Pass". Everytime I reboot to recovery, it's stock recovery not TWRP. I don't know why. Please help me. Thank a lot.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bluesky58:
It's work now

Thank for your help. Finally, I had Toxic V17 on my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hilary trump:
s6-crom.apk could work on Nougat 7.0 well
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] KLit75:
Thanks

I think you're right but better safe than sorry I guess. Thanks

One more thing...I'm sort of going into this blind (first time needing to use Odin for anything.) I've looked around and found many tutorials. A lot of them install adb and fastboot. But I primarily use a Mac. I borrow a pic in the rare instances I need it and would rather not install more stuff (I do have a complete adb setup on Mac) Do I need adb & fastboot for this?

I know the op doesn't include it but making sure it's not omitted because it's just a given (most folks around here have it installed.) Thanks again for the help!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
No need for adb or fastboot. Just unlock crom, do the oem unlock (you may need to find stock 6.0 (Google sm-g9350 6.0 firmware if yours is on N 7.0 and there is no oem switch in developer settings), then install toxic v17. It's all in the op.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] KLit75:
Thanks. I didn't even know you could flash stock firmware without issues. So you can downgrade the bootloader? I heard that wasn't possible but I've taken in a lot of info over the past couple of days and this is my first Samsung phone. It seems radically different than what I'm used to.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] KLit75:
Ok so my phone arrived. Its G935U running 7.0

Am I good to go here? Thanks

Update-Ok. Getting a terrible feeling I can't unlock this bootloader. Cron apk force closes.

All I really want is root. Is there any other method for me? Still holding out hope...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hilary trump:
G935U means the official US unlocked version? As far as I know its bootloader still locked tight. So Crom apk can't work.

Maybe this topic help: https://xdaforums.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/successful-root-g935u-g935uueu4bqd2-t3598647

Note that only for G935U Nougat firmware (G935UUEU4BQD2, G935UUEU4BQE2, and G935UUEU4BQF3) and on the Sprint S7 Edge (G935P) :)
