Yeah, if I actually manage to launch KA the bootloops stop as the min frequency on the little cores is able to be set back to 307mhz. KA fixes the bootloops associated with the beta/2/2.1 kernels
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
The kernel launches with min value set as max value. I saw it in the c file somewhere in the kernel. I remember wondering why it was set like that. Just remembered now. I think it was kernel main.c or something, though I don't know my way around kernel source that well :/

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] randomhkkid:
The problem was present before kernel auditor was installed. Installing it and changing the value is what stopped the bootloops for me.

Hmm, so yesterday i flashed stock FW and rooted again.

The GPS didn't work for the first time (Locating Method: GPS only) so i switched to Wifi, Mobile data and GPS mode to get my location. And i left my phone for about few hours, switched again to "GPS only" method, tested in another place. It worked, but slow. So today i figured it out.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33637/how-does-gps-in-a-mobile-phone-work-exactly

I will keep testing for a few days. But at least i now can use GPS with rooted device :D

I used the debloated aurora rom provided by dave, its so smooth ang the battery is great, but i dont really like the boot animation, can this be change to stock? But the rom is really debloated, no baidu something, but there is still yellow pages on contacts, and this is the only rom that gave me 140 k plus AnTuTu score. I know that Travis rom is heading that direction. Go developers, youre really doing a great job.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Nice! To change the boot anim, just put these files into /system/media/ with root Explorer: bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg and shutdown.qmg

Get the files from one of the other zip flash files (Aurora Full or HK rom) by unzipping and grabbing the files
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mitsuji26:
Thank you dave. I just wanted to ask on future update of aurora, will the yellow pages be removed?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
Did you get a chance to follow the guide created on page 39?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] traneupcqk:
I've done what you wrote in your guide before. Except for 1 thing, i flashed stock rom (didn't flash travis's rom nor aurora) and rooted my phone :(

Maybe i should try it again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
What happens when you use Odin and just load the stock APH2 BL AP CP and CSC files, does the camera work correctly?

Only reason I ask is because, though yes technically its a stock rom without root or anything else, it lets you verify that every hardware component works correctly on your phone as intended with the factory rom and kernel. If you can confirm the camera works correctly there, then you can isolate it to being directly a software related issue of some sort.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Nice!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
I've heard that samsung camera detects root, whether it's su or knox fuse, and this is why camera gets screwy. Many devs suggest using 3rd part camera. Funny enough, when I use snap camera, and select Samsung device in snapcam settings, it goes dark for selfies again (so even on 3rd party snapcam, DON'T select Samsung in its settings)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] randomhkkid:
Yep fixed my bootloops :) Thanks!

---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

I've never had a problem with the stick camera even with root. Then again the latest root method is systemless.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
That explains it then i think. Knox tripped = dark selfies
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] traneupcqk:
Too bad that i didn't test camera after flashing stock rom. I will try to unroot and do a camera test
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] randomhkkid:
I'm pretty sure knox is tripped on mine. Knox warranty void bit is set to 0x1.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
Oh yea Knoxed is tripped on mine also. But I do not have a camera issue at all. I use system root and I have used systemless and still no issues. Maybe you guys have a hardware issue possibly? O aurora is faster because its deodexed. if i deodex my rom its smaller than aurora :) maybe v4 beta will be de-odexed and de-bloated to see if it helps smoothness out.

I am glad the reboots stopped for everyone I was pretty sure it was security issues causing it :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
still trying to figure out what gives the Aurora ROM that insane bump in UX Imaging process. I've taken a stock HK rom and debloated it to its very core, same for the CH based Aurora rom. Tested both aurora and travis's kernels and cant get anywhere near the same results on the HK variant, stock or modified. Thats the only performance advantage that I can locate between either ROM. Both HK and CH roms score identically otherwise in all other aspects.

Saying the word 'either' puts a smile on my face. We have choices now! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] traneupcqk:
Hmm, i have unrooted but front camera problem still persists.

I will try to flash stock from scratch to confirm that camera problem happens only after rooted.

im having the same issue with the camera, on the lastest firmware, tried it on stock and travis's rom, also followed the guide. the camera works fine on 3rd party apps, its just the stock app in selfie mode, other modes work fine, i've read others having the same issue on android centeral and redit.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] usman.butt05:
Is there any solution for stock selfie camera work fine?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
you guys used crom and unlocked the bootloader? did you update firmware to the latest ver b4 you unlocked the bootloader? I suggest you flash stock firmware and update to the latest on your phone via system update if need be. stay stock. does your camera still give you trouble than?

Starting to tare apart samsungs ramdisk and noticing so many debug services being called. I wonder if these all get removed from ramdisk and more from kernel if it will get better standby time?. Ramdisk has the kernel gov set at interactive aswell so I might set that same gov as default in the next kernel so its a smooth boot.

so thats what to expect from the next version so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cbprod:
yes sir its unlocked and on the latest firmware. i even just flashed the modem and bootloader files you provided
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] randomhkkid:
It turns out the reboot issue is still present on my device. Flashed the beta 3 over 2.1 and then cleared the cache. Same thing as before, crashes a couple seconds after getting to the lockscreen.

Duplicate text issue. *info

apparently when a text is received it gets split and sent to your number, as well as a short code. (i'm with rogers and mine gets sent to 9009)

this short code is somehow linked to the phones main number, and as such a duplicate text is received.

It could have something to do with VoLTE, as there are no options in the rom for enabling or disabling with the current CSC

Will try updating CSC and see what happens

I'm thinking about wiping my phone again with "NAND Erase all" option. What do you guys think ?

"NAND Erase all" requires PIT file which i have found in a thread. It removes every damn thing in your phone. I've heard that it's quite risky but some people managed it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] xmanz:
Ive just been playing around and if I use the wide selfie mode. The dark issue doesn't happen for me….. So I am leaning towards the selfie app with a bug??
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] traneupcqk:
The dark issue happens only in Selfie mode. It's totally normal in the other modes. :D

There is a bug in selfie mode.

So i think i have 4 options:

1. Wait for new official update from Samsung. (It has been 44 days since the latest update :()

2. Do a NAND erase all.

3. Install snap cam as Dave did.

4. Sell it and get a Exynos version.
