Can only get better from there -- love it when the highest battery drain is the screen!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] pbaird:
When I try to donate to get the pro features in Amplify, the Play Store unexpectedly quits. After reviewing your rooting guide, the one thing I missed (or noticed I missed...) was to enable su at boot, which I have now done and rebooted. I'm on S7 regular, and used your fix+debloat.

Update: I am trying to bill my Verizon account, I'm betting the debloat disabled the Verizon checking...

nope... using a credit card crashes too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] kansaswaldo:
I'm also getting a FC when attempting to donate for the pro features in Amplify.

Edited to add: I also tested LeanDroid's in-app purchase and got the same result. I'm wondering if something with the de-bloat removed a service component?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Potentially... what does logcat say?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] kansaswaldo:
Reviewing logcat, the most noticeable error is as follows:

07-14 09:56:58.635 E/labHelper(17750): In-app billing error: Null data in IAB activity result.

If you want, I can post the entire log.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
What about the force close exception details?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] pbaird:
Best way to view and save logcat? I just tried alogcat, but I'm seeing much.

Update - downloaded logcat extreme, lets you do app specific. I'm attaching google play store results.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] pbaird:
I just did a cleaner log capture, I think. This includes all apps/system, but only for the timeperiod in which I produced the error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
After reviewing the log for exceptions, the first thing I would suggest is checking if Google Play Services has an update in the Play Store
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] lvpre:
Do you always display on or off?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] amorrn:
Unfortunately not. I think there must be some related system service that is being force dozed but none of the ones I've whitelisted have helped.

I have always on display disabled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] yandawg:
i am the opposit, I have always on enabled. On a side note, I am running Echoerom if that matters. I have amlpify leandroid, greenify and one or two other battery saving things installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] yandawg:
Thanks for the tip! I gave it a whirl, but to no avail. Whenever I would say ok google, about 4 seconds later I could see the border of the screen light up. If I woke it up the ok google page would be on. I think I am just gonna uninstall stuff till it works to find out which program it is. After I figure out the program, maybe I can reinstall and tweak as needed.

Thank you for your help!

Does this work on t-mobile too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] shayne77:
Anyone else know of a way to stop ForceDoze (I think it's ForceDoze) from dozing Gmail?

I've added Gmail to the whitelist but still emails are not coming through.

Until I wake my phone, then emails start arriving... I can tell from the email time, they've been sitting on the Gmail server for while.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Outbreak444:
My phone does this stock when I look at my phone during my lunch break. I turn the screen on and all of a sudden I get a handful of emails that are time-stamped earlier in the day. I don't use any special apps so maybe it's a stock setting somewhere and not ForceDoze?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] shayne77:
Haha thanks.

I just disabled ForceDoze for the last 15-20mins since I posted this and emails are coming through as normal. So definitely ForceDoze.

If you look in the whitelist section of ForceDoze, it does state that just because it's whitelisted, it doesn't mean it won't always be Dozed.

Anyone know what the process would be for adding additional backgrounds to the always on display? As opposed to the option where you can actually add a picture from gallery or other sources.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] nyr2k2:
I've had a lot of restarts over the past few weeks. It can happen anytime, but probably 85 percent of the time it would occur while charging or right after coming off the charger.

I narrowed it down to Amplify. I had everything configured exactly as listed in the OP. Once I disabled Amplify, the restarts disappeared entirely. Any idea which of the items listed in the recommended settings from the OP could cause my problem? I also use Greenify and L-Speed, among a few other things. Could it be a conflict, or is it likely just a particular setting in Amplify?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] chillsen:
Requesting a similar thread like this for Nougat which also includes any new packages we can disable. A definitive list of safe, apps and services that can be disabled and list of fine tuning instructions. I know we now no longer need Greenify since 7.0.

Hi

I just received this phone a few days ago and rooted/debloated/followed psouza's guide

I didn't install anything else except what was recommended in his guide. The phone was working great until Today when a bunch of apps started crashing and when I rebooted I got a boot loop. I tried booting into safe mode and nothing. I tried clearing cache and nothing. Any ideas short of factory reset? I am on Android 6.0 btw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] OfferedBison:
I ran into this problem too a while back, but I resorted to a factory reset. First I factory reset from the recovery, then rooted again. After that I flashed stang5.0litre rom. This rom is the best and I highly recommend it. No problems at all and I get really good battery life and speed. This is a Verizon rom, but works well with my at&t, all you have to do is change apn setting then freeze setup wizard. profit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] rms9:
Thanks for the reply. I actually figured it out. I got the dm-verity verification error. I had to flash the firmware from Samsung w/Odin. How do people not trigger the security with these apps and root method?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] _dvn:
[MENTION=1599591]psouza4[/MENTION] Is this method works on other Samsung Phones aswell? like Galaxy J5 running 6.0.1 :confused:

Sorry, I posted in the wrong thread!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] elan5:
So I've followed these instructions to a T and I'm still having egregiously low battery life. I'm talking like 2.5 hours screen on time max. Standby is pretty decent I suppose, as you can see, but I essentially rooted because of battery life issues and these results are no where near what I was expecting. Performance is frankly still pretty sub par as well, with quite a bit of lag and stutter. In l speed I have govtuner performance enabled, and changing this to battery or balanced doesn't seem to do much but I haven't tested extensively. For an example of the battery life, I've lost three percent in the four minutes thus far it's taken to write this. Are there any suggestions people might have? I'm on galaxy s7 Verizon (NOT edge). This is the snapdragon chip so maybe I'm just doomed in comparison to exynos variants. Any help is greatly appreciated.

(the high app usage is mainly due to watching like fifteen minutes of YouTube. Android system and OS are at like 15% and 10% respectively.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] 4uvak91:
I have Xiaomi MI 5, rooted, oct os N weekly + xceed bld 37 + magisk as root. I got only Greenify pro + forcedoze + L speed (Almost same configs as mentioned in the guide). I also whitelisted fb msgr, whatsapp, telegram and got enormous boost to battery life. When phone sleeps, after 2hr of doze battery drain is 0%. Great guide. Works on other phones. I used to have amplify and other stuff on Marshmellow, because Xposed works only on it atm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] sortlar:
Any suggestions on how to limit wakelocks in a non-xposed framework environment ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Wimmer4Archery:
I just wanted to add a couple of modules to the OP's suggested Xposed mods.

I simply added Better Battery Saver and Wanan's Smart Network to the Xposed modules list.

All of these mods (except for the SwiftKey one) will help to maximize the battery life of this phone.

Feel free to hit the "thanks button" if I have helped you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Wimmer4Archery:
(erase)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Wimmer4Archery:
Actually, there is no reason to run both LeanDroid and Smart Network. Choose one or the other to avoid redundancy and unneeded battery drain.

My phone gets almost 4 hours of screen on time from a full charge now. Without all of these modifications, the battery life for on screen time would hover around the three hour mark.

After being rooted and installing all of those exposed mods, my s7 edge is as snappy as the day I unboxed it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Wimmer4Archery:
Full charge screen on prediction time:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Wimmer4Archery:
In addition to this threads battery saving tips, I thought I would also add two apps that will make your rooted phone lightening fast.

SSD boost

https://m.apkpure.com/ssd-boost/com.puandr.boost

Speed up swap

https://m.apkpure.com/speed-up-swap-root/artur.m3rv.myszka.speedupswap

Note: Both of these apps are available on Google Play Store as well and both are entirely free.

After running the SSD boost, I ran the swap app and set it on the "fast" setting.

You're going to have to hold on to your phone after this, to keep it from jumping into hyper-space !

This really came in handy. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] kansaswaldo:
That was the first thing I checked, and it does not. I was tempted to try re-installing Google Play Services and the Play Store to see if that resolves. I wasn't sure if that would be a good idea though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Keep Googling for the rest of the exceptions.. I see some keystore issues, etc. I'd love to know what you come up with. I've run all my own scripts on my SM-G930V and can make in-app purchases (shameful Pokemon Go purchase this morning) so I can't provide a lot of help on this one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] pbaird:
Shows as up to date in the play store. Also downloaded an app called "Play Services Info" which shows that it was last updated on July 11. It includes a link to the play store entry which does not indicate an update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Saito209:
Wheres the location manager service i see icing and etc but not that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
If you used my fix+debloater, it may have been removed (this might be the LocationAgent package, I can't recall), in which case it won't be triggering wakelocks and thus doesn't need you to throttle wakelocks for. :)

Should be obvious: but skip any wakelocks/alarms that don't appear on your specific device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Ridl3y:
You see to know what you're doing. I've been waiting to get the dual speaker mod for a long time but the developer hasn't been around.

Do you think you could figure it out, being that you seem to know a lot about our phones?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] kansaswaldo:
I actually flashed back to stock and then re-rooted with nothing additional installed after setting up as a new device. In-app purchases is working fine now. :)

I know that doesn't provide any insight into root cause, but at least it works now!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
I don't know, sorry -- but ViPRE4Android is working and is now linked in my main root guide.

That seems to be my general thought at rooting anyway: start as clean as you can... if you can't, make backups and then start over clean. It's not a process most people will willingly go through because it takes a bit longer, but it does tend to clear up odd issues like this. I'm really glad you've got a solution, even if we don't know the exact issue (we should have checked your build.prop build before to see if you were on an older build, perhaps).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] Ridl3y:
Does Viper4Android have dual speaker mode or something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] kansaswaldo:
I am 99.9% sure I wasn't on older build. I also agree 100% with starting as clean as you can. I resisted the urge to wipe clean just to see if everything worked properly. I almost always start clean with rooting as it is the best way to ensure positive results.

Amplify, Greenify, and LeanDroid are all set up and rocking and rolling. Everything is working like a charm!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
No, but I'm confused -- doesn't the S7 only have a single speaker? Just checked some specs real quick to make sure I wasn't crazy, but I think we only have the single speaker.

Fantastic. Check it: charge up before going to sleep (make sure LeanDroid and DND/blocking mode is set up) and leave it off the charger tonight.

There is a mod out that turns on the headset speakerphone as well. It gives a surround sound effect and is supposed to be amazing. I've tried looking at the values on his releases, but they are different from our version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] pbaird:
Good to know, actually. I was thinking about doing the same thing.

Yeah I took a look at the mixer paths too and couldn't come up with anything. But yeah, it sounds great the way [MENTION=5108383]sshafranko[/MENTION] used to mod it, it was about 70/30 bottom speaker/earpiece. Sounded awesome for gaming and just checking out YouTube.

Hope [MENTION=1599591]psouza4[/MENTION] can take a look.

I have the sound mods (mixer path files) for the note 5 and note 3 but they don't work on our s7

So I am on a SM-G930R4 and I rooted wonderfully. My only issue is battery. I followed this tutorial except for leandroid because with 4 kids I can't even do a couple bucks atm. What am I missing to get such good battery? I fresh installed my firmware and rooted following all the guides. It is as smooth as butter except battery. I am perplexed.

After I hibernated my culprit apps my battery is doing great.

I found the issue with the Play Store not allowing purchases or in app purchases. You have to go in to the Play Store settings and disable the option for Fingerprint Authentication.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] RedHawk275:
Can I clear these apps from the app switcher, or will it kill the background processes as well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Clearing from app-switcher will close the UI process (and possibly the service), but that's unrelated to Doze or Greenify. Clearing apps from app switcher won't stop intents and wakelocks from working as intended.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] RedHawk275:
Thanks! :D I also noticed that you mentioned about Viper4Android. Have you installed it, and if so, did you flash it through Flashfire without any problems? I know I'm asking a lot, but did you test any of the other versions, besides the atmos sony beats version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Only the version I mentioned have I actually installed (via FlashFire). Seems to work just fine, although I'm not an audiophile -- definitely no conflicts or force-closes, etc. though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] konoi:
Do you have the problem of greenify not auto hibernating? It seems to be fixed by turning on accessibility, but it can't be right as the dev said that's only for non-rooted devices. Also, did you enable device administrator for greenify at all? It seems to be another solution (don't have access to my phone to check), so I was just wondering if you turn any of the 2 on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] daweeze02:
Wow I did everything yesterday except for L Speed and now that I just did it my phone is lightning fast. Thanks so much
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] psouza4:
Seems to be working here. Check your SuperSu settings and make sure that Greenify is getting root? Try using Greenify manually and see if it's doing its thing? If you followed my guide and are also using ForceDoze, they share similar functionality and some features in Greenify may not happen if the entire phone is dozing all apps. That's nothing to worry about, if that's the case.

Thanks for reporting back your success -- always glad to hear people happy with their phone's performance. :)

Thanks for your hard work on this. I've done everything except lean droid and it does appear that the battery life is much improved. One observation regarding sqlite and 'L Speed'. I used the installer you mentioned and then went to double-check that the binary was installed. It was, however it was set 600 permissions. I changed it to 755 and it complained about PIE extensions. Are you sure your install of sqlite binary is working / that it is actually necessary for these tweaks? Maybe the installer pulled the wrong one for me? There were no options just an install button.

Check the L.Speed log from the menu -- I believe it was the misc. tweaks that fails because of missing sqlite binaries. Once installed, the operation completes successfully without error anymore, so I presume it's able to execute the binary correctly.
