[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] SanguiniusWept:
I set a few, then rebooted. They stuck around, and I could tap all of them without anything crashing. Which settings are you seeing this happen with?

Install Busy Box to System/bin or the top option. I got it to install successfully there.

Has anyone decided to use amplify for imsservice partial wakelocks?

I am thinking about adding it to amplify alarms but don't know for an exact time frame but I'll ask in the amplify thread. I'm just wondering if anyone has done it yet.

I notice it has a lot of partial wakelocks in bbs. If anyone has any incite, I'm all ears.

Ive noticed it's keeping Android system usage higher than usual also which is why I'm thinking about using amplify on it .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Known issue and covered in the F.A.Q./Help section of my guide. Flash V12 of the fix/debloat zip to fix.

30 wakelocks doesn't seem like a lot, to be honest. I have 157 over the course of the last 28 minute and battery usage is really low. Honestly, I don't think the stats in your pics are reflecting any significant drain. I would charge to full, unplug, leave the phone's screen off an hour or so, and then check to see what's really draining your battery. If I leave my phone alone, it drains 1% every 2-3 hours (I am using some deep app freezing/debloating, Amplify, and Greenify settings -- but ImsService is not being restricted on my phone).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
I ran out of room in the main post (32k character limit) and didn't reserve a second post, so I opened a new thread for deep debloating here:

I have a s7 egde verizon and i get a security notice every 10 mins and i cant get rid of it. I tried finding the app and disabling it but I cant. Then i downloaded an app and tried that and still nothing. Any idea?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] cuezaireekaa:
Yeah I guess I shouldn't have used those screenshots. It was a lot higher earlier after 16hrs on battery but I didn't take a screenie. Thanks for your input and I'll keep an eye on it. 30 wakeups within an hour seemed a lot for me but like you said didn't look like it was draining much. After a full day, I can get a better representation of it rather than the hour I posted. Sorry bout that. :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
This is specifically mentioned in the main post of this guide under Recommended Next Steps. I urge you to read it and follow the instructions listed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Oatswesow:
Regrettably, that didn't resolve the issue... I will just have to live with it. Thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
This is typically caused by a stubborn CSC setting in /system/csc/others.xml or /system/csc/feature.xml -- my V12 patch deletes feature.xml and patches others.xml. If it keeps coming back on, I would check the others.xml file (adb pull it or view it directly on your phone with a file explorer). You're looking for CscFeature_Setting_EnableMenuBlockCallMsg and CscFeature_Common_EnableAirMessage which need to be set to FALSE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
I just pushed V13 of my scripts. For those of you on V11 or V12, there's no need to upgrade unless you really want to. V13 will forcibly run through all the CSC changes any time you flash it. V12 and earlier would check to see if it's already been patched and ignore doing any work otherwise. In all versions (V13 too), rebooting will not cause CSC re-patch, only if you re-flash again.

So, for your case or anyone else having the Quick Settings crash, you can just reflash V13+ every time and it'll try to fix it for you instead of thinking it's already updated and skip the patch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Oatswesow:
Question: I found it, but will it stick after reboot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
That's 100% up to whatever apps and Xposed modules you have that are messing with it. Both Wanam and XTouchWiz will play with those settings even when turned off (I had to uninstall XTouchWiz and only use Wanam, personally).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Oatswesow:
Yeah, I don't use either one of those modules.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
They were examples -- my point is "if nothing else is messing with it, then yeah probably". Everyone is doing different things with their phones and instead of wondering if it'll help, trying the updated script is probably the best thing you can do to find out. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Skizzy034:
Hey, the edits for enhanced LTE and wifi calling for the 935A on the U FW don't seem to work. They show up but nothing works. Are there other things we could be missing like an Apk or something? It seems AT&T really went out of there way to block it all. It's weird because it all works fine on TMO and Verizon devices..

smart switch

Smart Switch Opens and closes after running the debloat script on S7 (non Edge) verizon at least as of v8

I didn't see that as a item that was on your previous lists for removal, but I can go to backup and restore and if I have already run the debloat fix script it will open and close instantly, im currently redoing the phone as I messed something up bad in the system folder and ended up getting stuck on the verizon screen so I get to try your v13

Would the Verizon zip work while I'm on u firmware my phone is the Verizon model
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] CVertigo1:
As for busybox, change the install location to /system/xbin/ and it will work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] clabern:
Are you on the newly released "G930U" firmware? I saw it posted in the AT&T S7 section, and I'm curious to know if it can be flashed to the Verizon (G930V) variant of the S7? I've rooted and debloated using this guide, but I'd love to be able to flash a near-stock touchwiz firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] SanguiniusWept:
This happens on mine, as well, and I flashed straight to V11. I actually only noticed because I hadn't tried that setting even before I'd rooted and thought I'd check it out, see what kind of rooted backup it might allow me to make. When it didn't work, I moved onto another method. If you need Smart Switch to work, though, I'm guessing it's a lot more inconvenient.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Wildcat2083:
yes it is, I did some digging and used activity launcher, when trying to run smart switch i get a brief toast notification basically yelling at me because one of its dependencies is gone I'd assume its an item in the list of debated software

i can try to get a screenshot just the notification goes away really quickly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Hunt4m3x:
After I flash the BL i reboot the phone still asks me to enter in my password which i thought disabling Secure Startup turns that off.

When I run the root.bat, I get the following error message

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
I'm not sure, sorry -- try searching for (or starting a thread) in the AT&T forum and see if anyone knows?

No idea, sorry -- I haven't messed with it.

You don't need to wipe dalvik with the fixes/debloater update. The cache partition will automatically be cleared as part of the update patch.

Yes.

I'm having the same issue (it's a feature I don't use) -- I'll check logcat and see what it's barfing on here in a bit.

The update patch in the recommended next steps section will disable secure storage, which will allow you to save passwords to WiFi again. Once you flash that update, you'll have to enter your passwords one more time to save.

Android doesn't let you 'upgrade' an existing APK by installing the same (or lower) version of it. You already rooted and it's warning you that it won't install that APK again over the existing copy. It's safe to ignore that warning.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Hunt4m3x:
I reread the steps, I was selecting BL instead of AP. Redid that. After the restart, I didn't even know SU was already installed, I guess when my phone resync to google after the wipe it redownloaded all my apps, I thought i said not to. Removed the SU and reran root.bat and all good now. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
ATTENTION: Chainfire released a new version of 'su' for us that fixes the package manager support (this means we can have a freeze debloater for some borderline bloat that you can unfreeze if you want). If you updated using the app, you won't have the correct version, so be sure you flash the new 'su'. Links updated in the main post
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] jtmart007:
For #2, the script didn't take care of those icons. How did you end up swapping the imsservice files? I got the immservice.apk but it won't install, even via ADB. Thank you :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Shadow Giratina:
Got a problem here:

So I installed the stuff no problem. I got root and SuperSU all as expected.

That's when I proceded to use the BuildProp Editor to fix my Wifi issue. (ro.securestorage.support = false). As soon as I rebooted my device, root is gone. I've used a root checker, and it says I have root enabled, But root enabled apps aren't recognizing it. Lucky Patcher, Titanium Backup, they all say they can't get root access. Thank you in advance and I hope I am asking this in the right place.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
FlashFire patching with my update package does flash the new imsservice.apk file. If it's not working for you, you can also go into your phone's Settings -> Network and change your network mode to LTE -- I read that will hide the icons too, but you really ought to make sure the flash occurred correctly.

Sorry, one of my patches (V4, IIRC) accidentally deleted InCallUI. This patch will restore it (Verizon S7 or Verizon S7 Edge only): VZWS7_or_S7Edge_InCallUI_V1.zip. Flash with FlashFire.

Sounds like trouble in paradise. I'd re-flash SuperSU since Chainfire just released a new version anyway. Check the main post for a 2.76 link.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Shadow Giratina:
Woah, that's trippy. I was just working on this last night! Anyway, thanks for the help and SuperSU keeps complaining about an update. When I try to update it doesn't go through. Should I be concerned or what?

EDIT: Nope. No dice. Downloaded 2.67 and ran the .bat. Didn't help anything. Luckypatcher still says "Unable to find root" and Busybox won't even install.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Shadow Giratina:
I'm sorry, that was all my bad. Apparently, once you root your phone, Secure lock (That pin at boot thing) will lock root apps out from using root. Ahh well, problem solved.

When I follow your directions, abd does not work. it still says adb is an unrecognized command. My user account on my PC is only one letter, just 'a' so your only explanation of just use a shorter user name does not fix the problem. Please advise on what to do
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Glad you got it working, but disabling secure startup is one of the first few steps in my root guide. ;)

Check your entire user profile path for spaces, not just the username. Make sure when you install the ADB setup that you enter y/yes for installing system-wide. You can also try running the installer as Administrator. If you still can't get ADB installed system-wide, post for help in Snoop05's thread (he's the ADB installer author).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Chino075:
I had this same issue, find the ADB folder where it's installed in command prompt (in my case it was C:\ADB) and then from there you can run the commands. Also note that if you run the "root.bat", you have to do the same thing, extract the contents to the C:\ADB folder. This will fix the bat to run correctly, as it sees the adb.exe command in that location.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] gleggie:
[MENTION=1599591]psouza4[/MENTION] thank you so much for this guide! Worked flawlessly for me.

One question: Now that I'm up and running with root, can I still factory reset my phone from stock recovery? Root didn't factory reset, which was nice because now I can use tibu instead of helium. Anyways, I wanted to start fresh. I'm guessing I can just factory reset, run the root.bat, flash xposed, flash v13 script, restore apps?

safe?

How safe is this to do? I have the Verizon s7 Edge on 6.0.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
This root method should work on the SM-G9350 because it's a Qualcomm Snapdragon device, but I can't verify this -- you'd have to be brave and try it to be the first to confirm.

Yep, in fact I'd recommend it so you start fresh. Make your backup and factory reset. :)

v13 contains a new imsservice.apk that should fix that, but in case you're still having issues after flashing, go into Settings > Wireless and networks (section) -> Mobile networks -> Network mode and adjust accordingly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Sounds like you did something wrong or out of order. Don't skip any steps and read the prerequisites in each section carefully.

100% safe -- just follow the directions step-by-step. Don't skim or skip anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Ridl3y:
Should it be on Global? I wasn't having this issue with v8 and v12
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ykjae:
Would me not enabling supersu during boot cause this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
There's almost no difference between v12 and v13 -- I just added a file in the flashable zip that triggers the build.prop and csc others.xml-patching scripts to run again any time you flash them to override version check and a persistent scan on the csc others.xml-patching script that checks for two issues known to cause one specific problem (force-close in Settings because of two blank menu items being added). v8 and v12 would fix those settings once and never check them again but v13 will check on each reboot. This is fully unrelated to the service issues you're seeing -- I would sooner suspect an Xposed module. Try disabling all Xposed modules and re-flash v13 (which will clear out rogue csc feature.xml and keep only others.xml).

Nope, and having that option may not even be necessary, but enabling it may help the master startup script I install in my flashable updates to patch build.prop, others.csc, and tweak CPU settings. I would just start fresh in your position.

Does your FM radio work after root? Using nextradio?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ApatheticLoser:
So I used your instructions fully, following all the instructions as listed, though the debloat/modification scripts.Root was successful. Xposed was successful. Your script seems like it wasn't fully though.

When I go into the gallery app, I don't see the rotate buttons. Chrome was still installed (I use chrome, but was planning on installing the different version anyway). The wifi password issue was resolved though. I went ahead and manually removed chrome, and a bit more of the bloat, but I'm not sure what you attempted to modify the gallery app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
You won't get custom kernels on this phone, it has a locked bootloader. The engboot image flashes the boot image, not bootloader -- this is further along the trust chain, so we don't have access to kernel stuff (which would brick). The battery life and performance is phenomenal after rooting with engboot and running fix scripts and a little debloating though.

The CSC option is enabled (you can verify in /system/csc/others.xml). The layout of our version of Gallery stuffs the rotate options intot he MORE button, but it is enabled and does work.

V12 of my script does not remove Chrome from /system. V13 will remove Chrome, Maps, Hangouts, and GMail since they are all available through the Play store. I'll also release non-bloat, fix-only versions of my scripts.
