I overclocked the gpu a bit further to 680mHz, flash this zip in TWRP to update :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
I'll try the debloated one for a day and see how it goes.

But could you also make a debloated one without the overclock?

I want to try different governor managers on which would work best.

And I wanna ask. Why don't you upgrade to the official Oreo?

I noticed though there are Oreo stuff, it's still on Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
You can just pt the non-overclock boot in the debloated zip.

I hate official oreo, so for now I'm not using it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
You can just pt the non-overclock boot in the debloated zip.

how do you do that?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Unzip the zip files, and go to the folder /toxic or aurora (can't remember which it's named, models, 9350 (or 9300 if yours is s7 flat, and replace boot.img with the one from non overclocked, then you select all (.metaInfo, system,... And add to archize.zip
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] fch92:
hello, does this work on a T-Mobile S7 edge G935T that recently got updated to Oreo?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Sorry no, your bootloader is locked
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kpantera:
64gb

hiya noob question

will this work with a 64gb g9350?

i just rooted it for the 1st time and not sure :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Yes it will
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] xmanz:
If it's hk. G9350 snapdragon. Yes ? it will.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kpantera:
it worked but i think i may have messed something

it worked but my wifi and bluetooth signal are very bad even though before i used to get full bar for wifi and can go up to 10m with bluetooth headphones but now only a few feet away before they cut out. any idea what i did wrong?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
Same thing happened to me when I installed the Overclocked one. Now im back to the non overclocked version of the rom
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kpantera:
so i didnt miss something or change any settings i wasn't meant to :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Try the non-overclock version of toxic in the OP. Another person had bad wifi on the OC one
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
I'll been playing with kernel frequencies and configs and edits, and the current oc rom in the op is epic, fastest I believe our phone can be :D

Antutu 174013!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
I've undervolted the overclocked kernel. Runs smooth and less power consumption. Attached. Also added support for fm radio, let me know if it works
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
Hey Dave, just for experimenting purposes, I would like to try out Magisk. How would I do that?

I tried uninstalling SuperSU but on root checker i'm still rooted. :/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
You'd need to be on stock firmware, then make sure crom is unlocked, oem is enabled, then follow the instructions on the magisk page.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
Isn't it possible to use magisk while using your rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Well I didn't set it up that way no, the rom is pre-rooted with su. Magisk is for systemless and works very differently. Either way you'd need the stock boot.img
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
I Tried another ROM so I could try Magisk, didn't work for me. This Rom is still the best!

Do you have any idea on how to disable DVFS?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
https://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/help/dvfs-how-to-disable-t3624530
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Actually, just use kernel adiutor to disable all thermal switches
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
I don't really have good experience with using kernel adiutor.

I noticed that your debloated rom is defaulted on powersave, how do I revert it to interactive without using any other tuners?

Powersave doesn't play well with govtuner, and in my experience Govtuber is the best tuner alongside your rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Turn on overclock, then you can change governors. Default is powersave on littles, conservative on bigs. This gives smooth performance and amazing battery life. I'll be releasing the latest version of Toxic soon, it'll have interactive as default overclocked governor.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
Awesome! Hopefully the next version fixes the signal problem i keep having whenever i install your overclocked rom
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Please explain the signal problem in detail, because I don't have that issue..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
Under normal conditions, i have full bar of wifi in my home and office, but after installing the overclocked rom, wifi signal becomes 1 bar and sometimes i dont have any signal at all. And if signals are normally weak like half a bar or less, on the overclocked rom it won't even register.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Odd, I don't have that problem. I'll take a look at drivers in the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
Okay thanks. I'm not sure if this helps, but the problem disappears when i substituted the normal, old img file over the img file of the overclocked one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Here's the latest kernel works perfectly for me (maybe the old one I missed something.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
How do you flash this? Normal flash in twrp?

Im not using the overclocked rom, would this still work?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Yes and yes
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
So what changed in your new kernel?

Governor is still on powersave
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Yes that's efficiency by default, turn on toxicoverclock for non-limited speeds. You can leave it on toxicoverclock extreme
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Wifi signal is fixed
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
And it's a bit faster
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
OP
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
OP updated to latest ROM and Kernel. Now you can change freqs/governors in kernel audiotor/kernal tuner.

Weak Wifi/BT signal issue fixed.

NOTE : IF YOU ARE DIRTY FLASHING, TURN OFF TOXIC OVERCLOCK EXTREME IN TOXIC SETTINGS FIRST. OTHERWISE YOU WILL NEED TO DELETE /SYSTEM/ETC/init.qcom.post_boot.sh TO HAVE OC WORK PROPERLY!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
I'll clean flash the new updated rom later to see how it goes. Thanks.

My benchmark on governors is playing Pubg Mobile, it's the only game that needs the most tweaks to make it smooth. I have no issues with the smoothness of other games because its good, just not in Pubg Mobile. I hope if you test out your games while trying out your tweaks you would use Pubg Mobile. Pubg Mobile is the only game I play on our device. :)

attached herewith are 2 screenshots.

The first one, I would like to remove the annoying telecom signal label, I tried unticking the carrier label options but it's still there, it's annoying cause it takes a big chunk of the status bar and if the status bar becomes full it would just keep blinking.

the second one, is there a way to translate to english? I got the gist of it but it would be cool if it was in english.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Use xposed for carrier, and I haven't found where the file is at to translate that, it's Hong kong rom originally.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
Tried the new debloated overclocked rom. The weak wifi signal is still there. :/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
I've compared the rom with overclock to my wife's moto pure Android, we get identical wifi strength, so I'm not sure why you aren't.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
I don't know what to tell you Dave.

Is there a way for me to post all the changes and/or tweaks that happened within my phone after flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Not really. I'll research it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
To clarify, when you're on the debloated rom with the old non-overclocked boot.img, wifi/Bluetooth work fine? Also did you try the bloated overclocked rom and get same issue? Trying to narrow down whether it's rom or kernel related..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
When you first gave the debloated overclocked rom, I installed it and noticed my wifi signal became horrible.

I followed your instructions to extract the old boot.img which is from (TOXIC.G9300.G9350.OREO.V70X1C), and replaced the boot.img on the debloated overclocked.

the wifi signal was normal again with all the debloated apps.

Then you had a recent update of the rom, i cleaned install it and the signal was back to being bad again.

So I tried to flash your toxic kernel which you posted just recently, and I almost bricked my phone, lol.

and here we are again. I've your old nougat rom again, v23 I think, to see how it fares to the new one
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Okay so it's definitely the kernel (boot.img), I'll have a new kernel for you to flash in a minute. Here's what I recommend for now: 1) create twrp backup of just the boot for your good wifi version, 2) Flash the debloated rom overclock kernel 3) restore the good boot. This way you can try new kernels (boot.img's) and restore your backed up boot any time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Okay try this one, just flash in twrp, let me know if it fixes wifi weakness for you, as I want to figure this out. I want all to have overclock, efficient and great wifi/bluetooth!!! we're close to a perfect rom!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
I can confirm this gives same signal strength as non-overclocked. Perfect signal. I'll update the OP rom soon, meanwhile just flash this one
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
If you have wifi issues, please tell me the signal strength with this app, on old kernel and new overclocked kernel :

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vrem.wifianalyzer
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
I tried flashing the debloated rom.

the normal scanning of bones while booting up, then after a while it just turns to black screen with blue notification light on.

Is this normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
No that's definitely not normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
Well then, I'm here to report that this happens on the most recent debloated, overclocked rom in the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
I haven't updated the rom yet, so unsure why this happened.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Okay I see now the weak wifi, wow I didn't realize that, I believe some modules weren't installing, I will fix that asap and have the OP updated!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Okay, everything is fixed in the OP, you just need to install Debloated or Bloated (they are NOT overclocked), and then flash the ToxicOverclockBoot.zip, done.

I feel like a huge a$$, I didn't realize that installing the overclock boot with the rom screwed some things up, like wifi modules not building correctly. I always had the rom already on my device, so I didn't get to experience your pains, but alas it's fixed, and I'm totally sorry. So yeah, install the rom first, then the Overclock Kernel zip, and it keeps your perfect wifi and signals, plus the added performance:):):) My apologies.

In fact, if you're on any version of Toxic v17 through to v23, just flash the ToxicOverclockBoot,zip, it's fully compatible.

And again, I'm sorry I didn't realize the Overclocked boot needed to be installed separately, I'm embarrassed :/ But alas, you can now partake in breaking records :):):)

OP is fully updated now.

Dave.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
Yep, the new rom fixes the wifi problem. Thanks!

so should we activate the overclock extreme first or flash the overclockboot first before activating?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Flash the overclock first, then enable in Toxic settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
.. And let me know if the phone gets too hot. I disable core thermal control in overclock extreme. You can change this line in /system/etc/init.sec.boot.sh:

echo 0 > /sys/module/msm_thermal/core_control/enabled

to

echo 1 > /sys/module/msm_thermal/core_control/enabled

That enables thermal control
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
Been playing a pubgm few hours last night with overclockextreme on and while charging, and it didn't get that hot. So it's all good! :highfive:

what's your settings to make the best of gaming?

I use govtuner on performance mode, thats it. But hoping there's something more to juice it out.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Good! It's actually set up best on overclock extreme , I'd leave as is for gaming
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
Still getting fps problem on pubgm.

Do you remember your settings last late May - early June?

that was the time I had best performance with playing pubg, and I can't seem to replicate it. :/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
That would've been non-overclocked kernel. Non-overclocked rom. The debloated rom in OP should do, though I might be doing higher oc soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Ahh, plugging phone in limits the cpu. Try not plugged in and if needed enable thermal like I said in previous post
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
It's weird that a non overclocked kernel would work better than an overclocked one. :/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
It does not. Like I said, when you plug the phone into the charger, the cpus are limited. This is a safety feature to prevent battery explosion.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
Core control is = 0.

my usual battery temp is 100*F when plugged in charger and playing, it's the same temp when It's not plugged in and I'm playing.

The problem lies in the inconsistent FPS, I random from 10 fps to 60.

When I was at the peak of performance, late May - Early June, charging or not, FPS was 40-60, and now I can't seem to experience that peak performance again. I tried different kinds of tuners but to no avail. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Set core control to 1

I'll make the next oc 1 by default

And don't plug in

Cpu temp is what matters
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Added OC freqs 2496mHz BIGS and 1824mHz LITTLES.

To try it :

Download attached init.sec.boot.sh.txt, rename to init.sec.boot.sh and copy to /system/etc overwrite the current file, give permissions 644 (rw-r-r) , then Flash attached zip , make sure to turn Toxic Overclock Extreme off in Toxic Settings before flashing :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
Great thanks! though, I don't feel any changes
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Your issues with pubg have nothing to do with our overclock. It's apparent that it's a known issue with pugb, it just doesn't run well on mobile https://www.xda-developers.com/improve-fps-pubg-android-games-gfxtool/

In your case it may actually be beneficial to lower your resolution, check out the link above.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
Yeah I know, i tried all that. Sad to say that nothing I've done has worked. It's the only game i have in my phone, and I just want it to be smooth as it once did before. And I hope someone would give ne the best settings for it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
OP updated with two Overclocked kernels, one OC = 2.2gHZ, the other OC = 2.5Ghz.

You can now flash in TWRP if ToxicOverClockExtreme is ON or OFF in ToxicSettings, it'll flash properly either way:):):):)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Hey guys

Now that we've got on par performance with the S8, the only thing (besides fm radio) we need is to preserve our aging battery. I'd like to hear from you all : what's more important to you? Battery life? Or performance? Personally I want both, which is why I default the toxicOCkernel to power efficient, but also give full power Toxic Overclock Extreme option. I'll be updating the oc kernel soon, as I've found very smooth and battery efficient settings for the default efficiency mode. But yes, what do you guys value more? Battery Efficiency or Power Performance?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
I tried The 2.5ghz, works great! Haven't tried the 2.2 tho.

Since I'm a gamer, I prefer Power Performance
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Okay thank you for the feedback :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Toxic Overclock Kernel updated in OP, now has efficient mode (ToxicExtremeOC "off" in ToxicSettings) set to zzmoove governor, great battery, buttery smooth performance, and then when ToxicExtreme is "on", it's got a bit more juice :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrax43:
Thanks Dave.

Is it possible to make a kernel wherein you don't need to reboot the phone whenever you're switching ON-OFF on overclock?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Added to OP
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
So i tried echorom, the kernels you did, fm doesn't want to work. So you had it working on sm-g9350? I'm starting to suspect this model didn't connect the fm hardware pins..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
use adia64 or whatever it's called and show me your phone info. I have Chinese Dual Sim SM-G9350. The most I fight with is ****ing DM-Verification and encryption. I'll work on that later today maybe. Kernel boots fine just need to supersu it. Ive been using my xbox controllers on it to play games since yesterday.

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

I have overclocking added too but the phone get's hot on high clocks so I want to lower the voltage first before i start making it final. Only about a 2-300mhz OC just puts it on equal ground with Snapdragon 821.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
I've got same device :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
Im trying I promise. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
Also the kernel Test 2 is very updated and can be used as a daily driver. If you want a changelog on it let me know. I can upload it to AFH if it's easier also. That is for stock TW.

Now I want to focus on CM since TW is boring.

Kernel2 works, but scores 91000 on antutu. Normally get 139000 antutu with Aurora rom.

I still feel Aurora rom is the most solid, for speed and reliability. Just wish it had fm radio.. :/

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
What bells and whistles lol? Specifically, to add to the awesomeness of this OP, does this kernel enable fm, and if so can you please please include the software edits needed to go with it (ie: edited build.prop etc.)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
It has about 8 extra governors, permissive, a few new network fs added, cve updates... list go's on. I need to do more work on it so it scales much better. Ive been busy with trying to get cm to boot. Fm is added to cm just need to fix up ramdisk for it to boot. I can enable the FM modules next kernel I do and get fm activated IF I DO A ROM. I'll be honest I am not a fan of touchwiz i really prefer aosp. TW after a couple years samsung ditches our phones. AOSP support go's on forever. Ya know what I mean?

EDIT: ANTUTU 135563 after reboot :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
I suggest using kernel auditor or another app and adjust governors for cpu and gpu to your liking. I added the modules for FM so the kernel is ready just stock rom needs work. Possibly a framework issue? But I'll just supply the kernel for you guys and update it here and there if needed. You all can use xposed and app uninstallers to remove bloat if you so choose to do so.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Awesome :) One thing : after flashing your kernel, the phone does long vibration sometimes. Vibration for 30 seconds at random times.
