Their kernel scores higher because the default gov is performance based. I use ondemand based so its not always ramped up so high for little tasks. Change the govs and you will see. I will put out a clean debloated HK firmware rom when the next security patch arrives. If the rom gets enough attention I will make a thread for it and my kernel also at that time.

Trav

Internet voip issues flash this kernel here to resolve them for now. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224381679

ps: no rom update today because i was busy with cm13/14 device tree and kernel. just need ramdisk correct and it will boot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
Could you Hong Kongers please post here more and let me know what you all use mainly? What I use and what the public uses is two vastly different things. You locals here should be all over this thread with responses either in Chinese or English. You can write in 中文 on this thread. You have the devs permission. So speak up and stop being so damn silent I know Wilson, PCCW, Smartone etc sell the dual sim models and the note 7 dual sim snapdragons all day long. I see people with S7 edges all the time outside.

The Kernel was more than enough! Thank you! I'll test it out right now and report on how it goes.

If its any help, most with 9300/9350s outside of mainland China try to find roms based on the TGY (HK)-- which are pretty limited. Aurora has 2-3 in different versions if I remember correctly, nothing else really exists out there other than whats here on XDA. So, other than whats on Baidu cloud based of Aurora, anyone here developing (such as yourself travis82) are somewhat pioneering on the English front! You've already helped me and quite a few friends with 9350's.

Again, much appreciated!

What's good:

English

Pre-rooted

Kernel set permissive

debloated

How do I install this rom?

Copy rom to external sdcard. Boot twrp. Install rom.zip clear caches and reboot.

I will leave this rom up it will not go anywhere. It's perfectly stable.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] randomhkkid:
This!

Sweet, did you manage to fix the camera issue? I'll flash this on the weekedn if you did :D Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
I can confirm that the last two kernels have worked perfectly. Tested them both. The latest one being set in permissive mode is awesome. I was looking for a way to set the kernel as permissive and I think you read my mind..

Thanks to you I have a completely debloated of touchwiz HK based rom now with an awesome kernel! Hats off to you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] c9710159:
I use the stock HK-rom on my SM-G9350, TWRP, rooted and xposed. Mainly use my phone with productivity apps, minimal gaming. I'm mainly looking for a clean ROM with a minimum off pre-installed apps and a smooth experience. Hope this answers your request.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
Thats why I debloat them. How many of you go to china or macau daily or weekly. I have a dual 4g/lte mod i want to try.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
Trav, I visit weekly from Tokyo. Would love to have dual 4g -- especially since its theoretically possible to link them the same way you would two internet connections on a PC for faster download speed.

Right now you can use WIFI + 4G to accelerate speed. With two sim cards, the same should theoretically be possible.

If you can enable 4g/LTE on both sims, I am more than willing to test it out.

Also regarding the ROM-

I started with a completely stock rom.

I used one of the many scripts available here on XDA　to remove essentially everything minus the stock camera, gallery and edge functionality. Anything else that came on the phone was removed.

After that, I just installed the open gapps package on the phone (micro). All good from there. Really minimal package and OS overall.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Aurora V9 is impressive, will update on Battery soon, and I'll be putting up a full English debloated in OP:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
Hmm I was thinking since the Chinese rom is gapps less.. than maybe that should work for that fw also than i dont have to do two fw versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
That would make sense. Only difference between the Chinese room and the Hong Kong ROM is the options available on the pull- drop down menu.

Here is a grab of the Hong Kong. It has different features compared to its Chinese counterpart.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
There are quite a few threads on how to do this. Some remove a lot some remove very little. davecotefilm beat me to the punch and posted the same thread that I used.

I used this specific zip file using twrp. It will remove everything except edge functionality, camera, gallery and contacts. Which is a bit more on the extreme side. It will also replace your standard TouchWiz launcher with Nova launcher (you can remove it later if you wanna use something else)

Please make a backup of your current system before using this in case it takes out too much of the stock rom for you.

I then installed the kernel provided by Travis82 and open Gapps.

Here is my score with the non permissive kernel.

Probably don't need to mention this but the battery life and boot up time is amazing! Didnt think it could get this much better. :good:

How could you root your phone without installing Aurora rom ?

I just wanna root my stock rom :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] randomhkkid:
Looking to use a stock rooted rom with xposed to hopefully retain a working android pay implementation. I use GearVR occasionally so this is the reason I want a stock based rom.

I don't use the dual sim functionality but building it in would be amazing for many people I know who use dual sim.

Ok ill stick with stock hk roms for you all. Than an extremely debloated version. That should take care of everyones needs. Yea my phone boots really fast and i get simular benchmark scores on my hk rom. Any other sugestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Any chance you can build a version of the kernel that extends the battery life? Heavy using on this device sometimes eats 10% per hour. Would be nice to have an option to make heavy use last 20 hours.

Just flashed your ROM. It's great so far! My phone was a laggy mess with awful battery life and the ROM has made it feel faster than ever. No problems encountered so far.

The steps I used for people interested in flashing:

1) Follow steps 1 - 6 in the OP to get TWRP on your phone

2) Boot TWRP

3) Format data and factory reset

4) Flash the AUG-HK ROM that travis posted a couple pages back from the external SD card

5) Wipe the cache

6) Boot phone

7) Follow instructions to get Xposed here

8) Profit
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] travis82:
I suggest download twrp in tar format than flash it. Boot twrp install the rom you want. Install the kernel you want. Done.

You do not need that aurora rom zip to get twrp and root anymore that whole steps 1-6 can be skipped.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mlkemac:
The only way you can really mess up your phone is flashing bootloaders (BL in odin)

Everything else should always be recoverable.

The only thing you need worry about is data loss, but proper backing up can always prevent this

Flash away!

What to do with bootloader? Back up it?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mlkemac:
No, just ensure if you ever update in ODIN, to flash the correct BL for your device.

If anything else fails ever, you can rely on fastboot/download mode to restore an ODIN image.

ODIN will normally perform secure checks on the files you input to the program, so it should stop invalid files from being flashed to protected partitions.

In any case, before any flash check and re-check the files you have pending to be flashed.

When you flash in twrp, it doesn't affect the bootloader of the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mitsuji26:
My phone is not rooted yet, so i need to flash the Aurora rom in the first page so that i can gain root and have twrp then flash Travis 82 rom. Is that correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mlkemac:
Nope not necessary

all you need to flash any rom in zip format is a custom recovery.

TWRP is the only one available for our device right now, and in my opinion is the best anyways.

The official TWRP is now available here

http://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/development/recovery-official-twrp-galaxy-s7-edge-t3458589

http://teamw.in/devices/samsunggalaxys7edgechina.html

download the .tar file, load it into the "AP" slot in ODIN, and flash while in download mode.

reboot to recovery, (hold power+volume up+home)

TWRP will launch, if you don't need anything backed up, go to wipe, advanced, format data, and type YES

then do a normal factory reset in twrp.

Your system will now be de-crypted and clean for a proper rom install, you can now simply flash Travis's rom

did you go into wipe/advanced/ and format data?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sosjadd:
All of these modifications to the ROMs and kernels are giving Snapdragon owners a fighting chance. The scores just keep going up and up. Battery life is much better with the debloated roms as well!!

Almost 150000 without any overclocking or undervolting or anything crazy. Phone doesnt over heat or do anything out of the ordinary. Not to mention that the SD820 variant has 24 bands to play with cell wise while the 8890 version only has 14.

You guys really made me ditch my doubts on the SD820 variant. Never expected it to work this smoothly. I know its not a competition, but there is hardly anything for our chipset based phones ROM/Kernel wise. You both helped change that story. :good::good::good:

What you guys are doing is incredible! Thank you so much for your hard work so far!

On boot up at the S7 edge screen I see: Kernel is not seandroid enforcing in red. Normal behavior? This is only when using the second link (all in one). If I load your beta kernel after installing the new image, it disappears.

You can use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor&hl=en to set it to performance. But Travis is right, the current setting will save you some battery power.

Travis82 - Adding KSM did an amazing job on this kernel. Free memory is 2.2+GB most of the time.

Leaving the gov in interactive mode gives me a better score on AnTuTu then the stock kernel s7 edge in performance mode. This is a good sign!

CPU Mathematics and UX items saw the largest benefit. Though I lagged in the 3D gaming scores due to not being set to performance mode.

Stock kernel in performance gov: 134599 (reference score)

Kernel V5_beta in interactive gov: 139215

Haven't tested this kernel with it in performance gov yet, but I think this is the kernel that can actually break the 150k mark if I flip it on. I'll test it tonight and let you know the results.

Though, I don't even think its necessary with how efficient it is at this point. It's just chasing a number for no reason. The fact that your kernel performs so well in interactive makes me want to leave it as is and just reap the benefits of better battery life.

As usual, awesome work! :highfive:
