Set the gov to ondemand as requested for the processors. Why did the score jump so much from such a simple change?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
Thats why i disabled interactive. Now test out gpu devfreqs. Ie: simple_ondemand for gpu govs. Post your results. The slow ones and high heat causing gpu govs ill disable. Our chipset can keep pace with exynos no problem. Our gpu should kick its ass like the #s show.

Update your firmware, this was a problem on older custom roms AFAIK

---------- Post added at 02:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 AM ----------

To anyone who has tried using GearVR with this ROM on the G9350 and run into problems, I've found a solution. The custom ROM strips the CSC code from the phone. To fix this extract .zip from THIS thread, navigate to \CSCSelection_V1.7.5\aroma\csc\TGY\system\csc then copy the contents into /system/csc (create it if it doesn't exist). Change all the file permissions in /system/csc to rw--r--r and reboot.

This sounds like a problem with the CHC ROM, not something that can be fixed by complaining in this thread.

Just a quick question. Do i need to reboot the phone after changing gov type?

---------- Post added at 08:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 AM ----------

Hi guys, i flashed travis82 rom v2 and its a great rom but when i tried using antutu benchmark i only get about 9000 with interactive as cpu gov. So i change my cpu gov to on demand and it got about 115000, eo i tried performance and only got about 101000 points. Im curious how to get that 150000 points you guys posted . Any suggestions or advice please teach me. (I posted 3 pictures with my handwriting on it to indicate what cpu gov i used. Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
Travis, using your latest kernel I haven't ran into this issue anymore since you fixed it last time it was reported.

Just guessing here, but it might be thermals slowing your processor and GPU down and not giving you those high scores that you're looking for.

I do have a question for you though, other than that score does the phone feel silky smooth when navigating through the operating system and applications?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mitsuji26:
Its smooth when navigating.

And i tried to change the max cpu frequency to 2150mhz from 1324mhz it wont change.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
That means your thermals are throttling your cores down to a slower speed. :good:

Try putting letting the phone cool down for a few minutes and let me know if you can adjust the speeds then.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] randomhkkid:
So funny story. I've just realised after a year that the spare device that I had flashed a custom ROM on is actually a Note 3......

Also the modem and BL would be useful for many users who are less technically inclined :P

No reboot necessary, just make sure the runs aren't back to back due to thermal throttling as mentioned ^^^^^
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mitsuji26:
Okay i will charge my phone to 80% then let it cool down and try to change the freq. Ill update later :)

Those temperatures look good. If you want to be safe just Chuck it in the refrigerator for a few minutes to really get a cool.

Wild Travis

It's almost like you're coming out with a new kernel everyday, that's insane! I've already installed your new kernel now and so far I have no issues to report.

One odd thing though, every now and then I see the diagnostic log icon show up on my top left of the status bar almost as if it's sending information back to Samsung regarding bug reports. Just noticed it now but I remember seeing it on previous versions as well. Might be a ROM based issue on my side. But again nothing to worry about.

Thanks again for all the hard work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mitsuji26:
I have the same diagnostic notification.

Why is it your build number is sifferent from me? Mine is Travis HK Rom v2.

Is yours new?

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------

Did you put the aurora v9 full english in OP?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
Not sure. I might be using the previous version rom from Travis. I have so many backups in TWRP and never named them correctly so I am not too sure which one I loaded. But I am using the latest kernel that was just posted by travis82.

That aurora rom v9 is in the first post yes. Really nice rom, really nice kernel as well. Try it out! You may get those scores your looking for.

davecotefilm updated the post on page 1 with the english translated version. Make sure to rename /system/app/AURORA_SETTINGS/AURORA_Settings.apk to AURORA_Settings.bak and use his TOXIC_SETTINGS-signed.apk if you want to test it out. :good:

I would use the aurora v9 more and test it out, but its so heavily built on the China based rom and has a lot of settings changed that I miss from the standard style S7 rom -- button change behavior for example.

Every time I tried to get rid of the yellow pages and other applications that I never use in an effort to bring it closer to a stock rom, something always goes horribly wrong for me. Then again, I am no where near as talented in this stuff as dave and travis. I am just a big fan of testing the latest and greatest for the snapdragon s7 edge.

travis82's kernel also enabled 4G+ and video calling for me in Japan, which no other kernel or rom, including stock was able to do. That alone is, is worth it for me.

Almost wish we could combine them all into a super kernel and rom lol. But in honesty its great to see diversity for this G9350 appear. The fact that we have a choice over the stock rom -- especially some based on the HK variant for non natives like myself is a blessing!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
I will wait a week or so before released so there isn't any confusion. I will also version # kernel and rom properly next time around too. I'm waiting for the next firmware update before I put out a new rom to see if samsung includes grace or not. If its just another security update ie: October, than I will not release a new rom since the kernel will have all these CVE's built in anyways.

The fast updating is because of security updates and source updates were lacking behind compared to HTC, LG, Xiaomi etc.. So now we are all caught up and than some for source. Now we can import other devices kernel features that run the same cpu gpu as us. Overclocking I will not add for a good while because when android 7 hits our devices the kernel sources will change again and I do not know what to expect for security yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mitsuji26:
Oh, you should update to v2, i dirty flashed from the first rom ro the v2, just cleared the cache , is aurora v9 fast and silky smooth? Is it bloated?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
Ah, thats why we have so many updates coming in. Not complaining one bit!! :)

Makes sense about the overclocking as well. Though, would have loved to try and hit something like 165+k for fun. Would stir the pot a bit in the s7 variant discussions haha.

Ah, that explains it. I think that v2 rom added fm functionality and removed the preloaded part of the software install process, but didnt change anything else iirc. Thats why I didnt flash it, just used the newer kernels travis82 provided. Am I wrong?

v9 is very fast by design from how the kernel and rom are setup. It comes with a few applications, that you can easily remove. But there are certain things in the CSC, that I was not able to remove like the quickgrab hongo? I think it was called..

Also due to the aurora v9 rom not having 4g+/videocall functionality in Japan, I ended up not using it at all. But that might not be an issue outside of this country.

Actually I was always wondering how travis82 ended up adding it into his kernel. I was wonderfully suprised since I am using an MVNO here. My speeds are insane now. The video calling also really helps!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mitsuji26:
i have not tried the v1 of travis rom because when i rooted it yesterday so i just downloaded the v2 directly and flashed it. i will be flashing the new kernel travis uploaded. keep up the good work guys! i didnt expect the s7 edge hongkong will have root. i guess im wrong.

i will be sticking with travis rom, even though my antutu benchmark is only 90k it is still silky smooth :)

---------- Post added at 11:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------

is xtouchwiz working on this rom? i wanted the grace ux like when opening app drawer it has gaussian blur on the BG, im just wondering if the xtouchwiz xposed module has that option, or do you recommend it using?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
Yup, xtouchwiz works well on this ROM.

Also, if you want to try the Aurora ROM, just make a backup of your current set up in TWRP. This is what I do all the time. Once I find a ROM that works perfectly and set it up to my liking, I take a snapshot of it so I could always fall back on to it in case anything goes wrong.

This will quickly let you test the Aurora ROM, and if you don't like it, you just restore you're backup and it puts everything back exactly how it was before installing the Aurora ROM. It's as if nothing has changed or nothing has been installed. Mirror image!

But, you never know, you might like Aurora. It is really really fast. If you want speed, that might be the rom for you. After you make your TWRP backup of your current image: Press Wipe -> Format Data, type yes. Go back and wipe everything except the MicroSD card. Install the Aurora Rom and test it out. No harm in doing it if you made that backup of your current rom. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mitsuji26:
i will try it later.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
Yup just check all the boxes and give it a name that you can easily remember. For example I use the following format - travis82 v5b1 10-8 works perfectly

But you can give it any name you want or just use the stock auto generated ones.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
travis82, still scratching my head on this one, but your kernels are the only kernels that allows me LTE+ (4G+) connectivity in Japan. Even the stock kernel doesnt allow for it.

Any idea why?

I get really good speeds because of it, and I am on an MVNO, so I never expected to see speeds like these.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwCX5KwprUQ

The one thing I see added in the settings menu (attached below) that doesnt exist on the stock ROM/Kernel or any others that I have come across. Could this be the reason why its now enabled?

Also would it be possible to bring the VoLTE icon back in the drop down menu? It existed in the original ROM/Kernel and I have an odd feeling it may work correctly now that I am able to establish an LTE+ connection.

davecotefilm, thank you for that APK and translated Aurora V9 rom. Made the process much easier for anyone who reads English! It's really fast.. Playing with it right now as well. Scores around 150+k as well on AnTuTu.

As always, thank you both for your awesome work.

Regards
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
I'm very happy to see so much development on our device. I was worried when the US Variants were all locked down that we'd have little to no dev on the sd820, but here we are!

So, The stock HK is a great rom, thanks Travis, and thanks for the kernels, amazing work. I also like Aurora, very fast, very stable. Now, here's my thoughts on how things are with both roms, and kernels:

STOCK HK: It's great, with the ONE EXCEPTION that I and several others are receiving duplicate sms. Sent sms is fine, but on arriving sms, they come in twos. No idea what might be causing this, as I've never had this issue on stock or root in the past. It's not carrier related, as it only happens on this phone with the HK Stock rom.

AURORA: Fast, great battery, pretty much a perfect rom, with some great customizations. Great, with the ONE EXCEPTION that it's the China CSC. So a lot of features are lost there. I'm running Aurora myself, as I cannot handle duplicate texts, particularly because I develop some text apps that I'm always testing, and I can't test them with the duplicate issue.

Kernels: All kernels are great so far, Aurora is fast and optimized. Travis's are also fast and optimized. ONE PROBLEM: as far as fm radio goes, I've had no luck yet, not on HK stock, not on Aurora, not on Echoe. Other than that, I'm loving Travis's kernels, I'm running HKernel_V5_Beta.zip atm and it's flawless.

And I agree with a past comment that combining a super version that gets all the best features would be nice, I've been playing with that a bit myself, mixing and matching system files/apps from both aurora and stock.. we'll see :)

---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

Hey guys, i think i know whats the problem with the dual sms when receiving sms. I have my notification sound set on different sound, i use "dew drops" as my notification sound and "roll" asa my message notification sound, so i texted myself and two messages came back the first was "no sim card 1 sign" (look below on the picture) WITH A DIFFERENT NOTIFICATION SOUND "CHARMING BELL" i was shocked because i havent set any notification sound as a charming bell. And as the duplicate arrive it has the "sim 1 sign" with the right notification sound i set for the message "roll". Maybe the phone is thinking that the message is a notificationfor phone and a message. Maybe something is messed up on the sim card selector or something. I hope it helps us track down the problem because i wanted this to be perfect rom :)

---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ----------
