You're in the wrong forum -- this is for the S7 Edge in general and this specific thread is exclusively for the Chinese bootloader-unlocked SM-G93x0 not the Verizon phone you have.

The engboot root changes several CPU settings that disable sleep modes (doze is one of them), governors, frequencies, etc. You should patch a full fix and not just change the governor using an app like many people did.

If you have more questions, please post in the Verizon Galaxy S7 / S7 root guide thread and we'll do what we can to help.

thanks for all the help both this thread and in others. I cannot still can't make google as my default search engine. in the Internet Apps the option for search engines are still in chinese. tried them all but still baidu, the only thing i can use there is the 2nd one which is Bing.

Also, Music APP is not working well for me. I cannot add any custom Ringtone. The Batman Injustice is working besides from the Sound and Ringtones included. Any idea in how to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Music and Ringtones work for me. I'm still on V3, so i didn't get any batman theme. I'm hoping you have the sm-g9350 and not the actual batman phone? Sm-g9350 is Qualcomm and Batman is exynos?

Edit: Oops, Batman injustice is Qualcomm. Nvm
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Mercyisfortheweak:
I do have the actual Batman phone. I forgot about checking my phone if it's qualcom or exynos. Somehow the ROM is working fine with no bugs so far. Even the battery life is good. For now I'm using 3rd partt app to change my ringtone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Oh wow, ok. Good to know the ROMs are interchangeable! I wonder how compatible they are..

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
This is a samsung root issue, you can download any 3rd party app for selfies, snap camera is Amazing, but funny enough if you turn on "samsung" mode even on snap camera, it goes dark red. I guess it's samsung once again trying to block root lol. So just use another cam app and DON'T put it on samsung mode :)

Im going to macau today, so after that I'll start a tar for modem and bootloader for the latest firmware. I get random lockups here and there so I have to see if its selinux related or not. The guy with the camera seriously flash stock flash the newest official fw package and start again. If not it's a hardware related issue go exchange it.

Is this hkernel_beta2 newer than hkernel_v5_beta? If so I'll flash, if not please advise.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
So far beta 2 runs very nicely. Antutu 135000 ondemand while listening to Google play music (which is a power hog). Deep sleeps like a baby.

[MENTION=3463480]travis82[/MENTION] I am still having bootloops with your Beta2 ROM and Beta2 kernel. The phone boots to the lockscreen but then will reboot within a couple seconds, eventually the phone will boot properly but will reboot due to instability upon running apps (In my case an app restore through TB or trying to enable developer options in settings). This was a clean flash with only titanium backup being given root access. Trying to reproduce it and logcat but I need to authorise adb first without it rebooting on me....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mitsuji26:
Do you have the duplicate message issue when using travis rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
I can reproduce this issue as well.

I havent used the standard SMS/MMS application yet. Everyone here in Tokyo uses LINE/WhatsAPP/FB Messenger/etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] randomhkkid:
[MENTION=3463480]travis82[/MENTION]

UPDATE: The stock rooted kernel doesn't exhibit the bootloop problem. Here's a logcat from after flashing the beta2 kernel to a reboot on trying to restore apps in TB.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mitsuji26:
I just wanted to ask what exact features that are not available in aurora rom? Because i wanted to test it out. I just needed a heads up from someone what to expect, thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] randomhkkid:
As far as I know the main things are that the China CSC has apps that can't be removed and some bands aren't supported.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
Did some testing with travis82's latest ROM, which is located in this post.

Not sure what I did, but I eventually got it to stop boot looping from the lock screen. Probably a foof on my part. Wiped the Dalvik and Cache one more time in TWRP and no more issues since then.

Battery life - One word, amazing! Really does well to save power while on and when not in use. Dont know what else to say about it. Miles better than the stock setup.

Kernel - In the default interactive mode the new Kernel is

EXTREMELY

well optimized. Changing the gov to performance mode barely bumps up the results on Antutu. Gave me great snappy speed and great battery life. Also enabled LTE+ in my country!

ROM - Very clean, kept only the 'good' essentials and removes a lot of the stock bloat. Boots very quickly.

Attached are some grabs from Antutu.

First three are in Interactive mode, hitting over 145k!

Last three are in Performance mode, hitting around 147k!

Really shows how well its currently set in Interactive mode. 99% of the performance, with a huge boost to the battery saving abilities.

Really good work on the total package. :good:

Regards,

Sosjadd
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] randomhkkid:
Interesting. I may give the cache wipe a go if I feel like the stock one is lacking.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
I'm running beta 2, you have to immediately go into kernel adiutor and fix cpu settings. For some reason it makes min and max overclocked to max on interactive. Check gpu settings too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Aurora runs very well, and no duplicate text issue. China apps can be removed, but a few system apps that are same as stock are named different, so be carfeul removing. Its almost completely based off stock also. I will update the OP soon to include a completely debloated Aurora, plus the travisKernel too once it's stable. Aurora consistently gets 140+ antutu.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] randomhkkid:
Gotcha so the bootloops are because the processor frequencies are set to unstable values?

[MENTION=6105039]mitsuji26[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
The Yellow pages integration and a few other things I cant figure out how to remove like hongo grabo is killing me when using this ROM. Cant pick up LTE+ signals using this Kernel/ROM in Japan either. Not the end of the world I can still pick up standard 4G signal on my carrier, but that Kernel travis82 made spoiled me on it and would love to get it back.

But your right, it really is pretty damn fast and very stable.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
I'm pretty sure that's it. If I boot, go immediately to Kadiutor, change cpu minfreq to 307 and ondemand, set to "set on boot", then bam, no issues:)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Yeah yellow pages lol. odd. For Grabo, just click it and turn off. That's a samsung app go figure :P
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
Wish there was a way to remove it entirely :) But I can make it work for now..

Here are some interesting results when I loaded travis82's latest kernel on the translated aurora v9 rom you provided.

No doubt about it. The Kernel travis82 provided is working amazingly well in regards to raw power. Scores higher then the Aurora Kernel. :eek:

For some reason the UX Image Process scores really high on the Aurora Rom. Cant replicate the same UX IP score on the HK variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
So is it me or not lol? Maybe I need to start over from scratch.... are you all 100% sure it's ondemand causing the freezes?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
After loading the kernel auditor on boot, the loops stopped. Though, I was able to leave it on interactive. But yeah, I think we both had to launch the auditor on boot to keep it from freezing up at the home screen and rebooting. Not sure what would cause that, since it was extremely sporadic.

Trav, the kernel is pretty damn fast. Loading the kernel auditor for stability until the bugs are sorted out is no biggie considering the speed and power savings it provides. If you can figure out why the UX IP on Aurora is so high compared to a stock HK rom, that would make for the perfect combination. It's already faster than the reference MI 5S Plus which is an SD821 with 6GB of ram with nothing but some Kernel tweaks. Imagine how much more potential is left considering the SD821 is just an overclocked variant of the SD820 from what I have seen.

Ok, I just updated the hell out of the kernel you can see here: https://github.com/travismills82/android_kernel_samsung_msm8996/commits/tw-6.0

I could have kernel configs wonky unknowingly also.. Anyways what govs do you guys want out and what do you want in?

I saw the debug it looks like a ton of selinux crap soo it go's back to supersu not being very compatible with the new security patches from the kernel and roms recently.

Aurora could be faster because it's the chinese rom with gapps added. As you see the Chinese roms have a buttload less apps installed. But we can start mixing and matching when GraceUX hits our phones. Also how is the heat? I don't want to pull a Samsung and have anyones phones blow up lol. :)

Scores around 143k from my initial testing on the HK ROM. Seems like that Kernel was made specifically for that Aurora V9 ROM. A little laggy on on the UI the HK rom, even after wiping cache/davlik. Makes sense, but i'll test it out again on a clean HK rom and let you know what I get.

The beta2 kernel was fast on every rom I tested so far. Haven't tested 2.1 yet. Any results or impressions so far? I saw the commit log for travis82 on github, the man is hard at work!

Now if I end up being unhappy with the result it gets removed. If I am unhappy with it, it means it doesn't suit my standards and I have very high standards in general. I expect too much maybe hehe.

My kernels work for all Marshmallow roms for G9350. Simple enough answer?

Im kinda feeling im hijacking poor daves thread.. Dave is this ok with you or do you want me to make another thread?

And now im going to vent a bit. Why the FRACK has Samsung not optimized its code to run as fast as I can do it. There is no OC no GPU OC just cleaned up and about 12 cve security patches. For a large company to be smacked around by little ol me.. I would strait be embarrassed and ashamed of my quality. Maybe they were to busy rushing Note 7 with the same sh!t code and that's why it over heats and blows up. But yet get this.... were they not supposed to be using the HK/China suppliers batteries second time around? And still same issues.. Yet HK and China there has not been any issues....
