That could be, but from what I remember... I THOUGHT it was CSC changes, but I may be wrong. Now that I think about it, I think it changed some tuneables. Apologies for the misleading post - wasn't my intention.

Most of the changes could be done with the CSC editor - EXCEPT the IMServices.APK overwrite. The governor could be "fixed" with GovTuner.

Don't misunderstand me - v15 is an AMAZING mod! I'm not just saying that. However, I really wanted to have "control" over my phone, so I flashed the v15 fix to see what the changes actually were & dd. Then, removed it and used the ones I liked. Then govtuner fix the lag issues, I flashed the new APK to get rid of VOLTE & Tornado images at top of screen...

It was just for control sake - and you can use LSPEED for Governor Tunable changes if you want, TOO! :)

In any case, my sincere apologies - I did NOT mean to come off like v15 was bad, because it's NOT. Nor did I mean to sound like I was insulting it by calling it cosmetic. It was VERY WRONG of me and I am SO SORRY! Came out TERRIBLY wrong. So, I would just like to say once more that I am TERRIBLY SORRY ABOUT THAT! :(

Did anybody try actually profiling the phone to see what is causing the lag and battery drain? I haven't rooted yet, but it sounds like something that should be solvable, which would eliminate 'tuning' apps like this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] brettdacosta:
Is this process built into the "Next Steps" section in the "Guide to Root" sticky thread?

They talk about flashing a fix script, and I'm wondering if it's the same thing that's discussed here.

And if it's not the same thing, which works better or do I need to do both (or will that cause problems) and what the differences are?

Thanks,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] brettdacosta:
Anyone?

Also... I flashed the script and I ran the instructions from the options of this thread, and I need help.

My battery is draining faster than I want. I tried to modify the op settings to be more bent toward battery than performance. My performance is incredible with the op settings, but I would rather a bit more battery life than what I am currently getting. What can I adjust?

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone else had issues with random rebooting while running these mods? I haven't been able to narrow it down yet but my S7 reboots several times a day and feels overheated. OP's suggestions helped a lot with the initial heat and lag after rooting and installing Xposed and BootManager helped even more for the boot lag. I've tried individually disabling or removing mod aspects but haven't pinpointed what's causing the random reboots. Anyone else have had this? I did flash the V15 Fix early on prior to these mods; could that be related?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] POWerSUrgeSW3:
Mmm not sure yet. Last week I was on the G930U firmware PL2 and was running L Speed, with the V15 fix, part of rooting my phone. Last couple of days I reflashed the G930P forward PL6, installed and configured L Speed and Kernel Editor like the OP, along with the V15 fixes and rooting again. I've tweaked a couple of settings within L Speed, thinking it might have been draining my battery a little fast. I've been solid though, no random reboots or anything. 12 hours of semi regular use and I'm at 45% battery.

Actually thanks to finding this thread, reading through and using both L Speed and Kernel Editor together, I actually went from having a warm to (what I thought was) hot phone to a nice cool phone.

Still in the beta testing stages, but I'm a lot happier now than a week ago... When I started trying to root and my phone was just hot all the time, and battery lasted maybe 6 hours if that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] lorchmeister:
I dunno, maybe I do need to just start fresh and reflash with PL6 or something else... What has seen the cleanest results? The interesting thing is my random rebooting and other symptoms haven't always existed since using L Speed and the GovTuner mod, etc etc. It's been more recently in the last month. Possibly related to the L Speed updates and new possible bugs and/or utilizing GovTuner through the app vs. separately through GovTuner/Terminal as originally? I dunno; I don't think I've changed or added any other modifications. Oh... I should mention too, almost more annoying than the random reboots in another way is my other symptom of terrible static people hear when I call them. I hear nothing wrong and they can hardly hear me. I'm not sure how it could be related, but I know it's not just a microphone or speaker physical issue. All I have to do is manually reboot the phone and call someone and it's crystal clear again, for a number of hours anyway...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] craazy82013:
Xposed causes nothing but issues. I have been running stang5litre rom since it came out with nothing but love for it. Currently testing version 3. You can customize damn near everthing in here to your liking. Plus has great support and everything is built in. Just flash and enjoy. He put alot of time in this and it shows. Come join us
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] POWerSUrgeSW3:
Hmm. That would lead me to think there is something wrong with a configuration for sure. The static/choppy maybe due to a resource problem and the information not being sent in a smooth stream. And reboots on top of that, would reinforce that thought.

Have you tried going back in and just reapplying all of your settings manually in both apps? Maybe during an update a setting got reset, throwing things off.

Plus side thought on the voice call issue, if they are unrelated, maybe it's a LNET Optimization setting causing that. Breaking up network packs as they go out?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] lorchmeister:
Is this rom based off stock, aka can be used with US Qualcomm models?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] :
Yeah, but you need to reset your APNs unless you're on Verizon. Also the flashing process is different depending on your carrier.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] add144:
Is the whole ROM...err...flashy colors and crazy graphics like some of the screenshots, or are those just customizations? I enjoy tinkering as much as the next guy but some of the red on black and crazy fonts from the screenshots are a bit much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] lorchmeister:
Yeah I had reapplied settings manually multiple times, and resets etc.

Over the weekend I had prepared to back up everything, wipe and start completely fresh. However, I never had to, as for all day yesterday and today, I haven't had any random reboots or complaints on my phone call static. All I did was go into GovTuner flashed mod via terminal and actually disable it. I use the one integrated in L Speed. Then I froze the related apps for good measure. I did happen to freeze Amplify too, so in the end I can't say what actually was the issue. I'm guessing the two GovTuners not meshing well, but I'm going to start using Amplify again and double check. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] POWerSUrgeSW3:
I would recommend starting there. If you want to use Amplify, unfreeze that and see if it makes any difference. If the problems come back, you'll know there is a setting in there to narrow down.

Glad to hear you're at least functional again. Let us know kW what you find.

I am unable to enable init.d. says my kernel does not support it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] GartimusPrime:
So, tried root and ultimately it just was bad. I unrooted and installed greenify along with force doze, giving them permissions through adb commands. This is my battery from today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] POWerSUrgeSW3:
Impressive... I originally installed Greenify but I did not have any results like that.

With Force Doze, do you not receive notifications or alerts? Never used that before, but I've seen that option in other apps (like L Speed) and when I use it I pretty much have to wake my phone up for everything.

Oh and did you try downloading the boot image again... Maybe it's corrupted?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] GartimusPrime:
Could have been corrupted but with results like this I don't need root now. As far as notifications, I get phone calls and texts. In forcedoze I can whitelist apps to not sleep if I choose as well. Ever since greenify and forcedoze allowed permissions through adb my need for root has gone, especially with package disabler pro

Does this work for PI3

I know it's been a while since anyone posted to this thread, so the firmware is now PI3. Does this procedure work for that version? I've done the v15 fix for all S7's and it helped but not enough. I'd like to do this too, but only if I know it will work for my firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] POWerSUrgeSW3:
PI3? There is a PL2 (G930U) and PL6 (G930P) firmware out for Marshmallow. Then jumping to the QAA for Nougat.

EDIT: oh my bad I got the Verizon PI3 confused with a Sprint firmware... That's why I stayed the above. Sorry!

I've followed the guide but still messing with stuff manually. Personally, lag wise, I don't see a real difference between using the v15 fix flash or not. I currently am not using it.

I've switched L Speed to battery for all the profiles, and then tweaked from there a bit. Used Kernel Adiutor to set the governors to interactive. I get about 18 hours of battery under normal to moderate usage

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
Are you typing "su govtuner" (without quotes)? I did link DIRECTLY to Gov-Tuner's Project Thread with instructions. However, here are instructions:

You'll need to run terminal app

once it loads you should have a prompt.

Type "su" (without quotes) and then hit enter key

then type "govtuner" (without quotes) and hit enter key

A list of options will appear (These are the profiles that are available - Battery, Balanced, Profile)

Select either 1, 2, or 3 and the enter key to select the profile you want. pressing the letter "e" (and enter key) will exit you from the menu.

After you've selected the profile that you want, it will do it's thing & configure the Tuneables. Then exit the menu and use phone.

You've noticed a definite improvement in lag and battery life?

About to try this on my Verizon S7 Edge tonight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] ororick:
Yea. If you're going to do it all tonight, here are my suggestions.

1. Install the u firmware so that you dont have to worry about Verizon bloat.

2. I run the play store rom to further remove bloat

3. Running greenify, amplify, doze as suggested.

4. Flash v15 fixes

5. Using this gov patch in balanced mode

I would say even with steps 1-4 I was having issues w/lag+ heat. This has totally removed that problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] mlin:
That seems to be the message conveyed in the thread.

Sorry I just stumbled across this. I just finished restoring to stock b/c I was sick of the lag, poor battery life and overall decreased stability. The GS7e runs so well out of the box, its not worth sacrificing just for root. I'll keep an eye on this thread to decide whether or not its worth it to reroot.

[MENTION=3335959]ororick[/MENTION] - Please make sure you are on PE1 firmware. You do NOT have to be, but the v15 fix should only be flashed (in my experience) if you are on PE1 firmware! [MENTION=3335959]ororick[/MENTION] - greenify, amplify, doze are not really needed, unless you prefer / want them. This govtuner AND LSPEED really seem to fix the issue alone. [MENTION=754676]mlin[/MENTION] - I would actually say this govtuner tweak & lspeed makes the phone considerably faster than stock. EVEN WITH a ton of apps installed. Just make sure you use a program to disable apps from loading at startup that you don't need. [MENTION=3335959]ororick[/MENTION] - LASTLY, please try the balanced, battery, AND performance profiles. I know MLIN suggested BALANCED profile from within GOVTUNER, but I would suggest you TRY them ALL, even with different governors (change through kernel auditor, etc). You'll find that some of the governors with certain profiles, give you superior battery life with SLIGHT to NO lag, and others give INSANE PERFORMANCE at a cost of battery usage / runtime, but no lag and it REALLY FLY's!

So give it a try!

Hope this helps!

If you look on the Guide to rooting the S7, scroll down to the things to install after rooting... you'll see a few individual items that you can flash / install to fix the VoLTE issue & others. You'll also wanna use Titanium backup to freeze Security Log Agent & Security Policy Updates to get rid of the notification telling you that you've changed your system. It's also supposed to stop the security updates from comming in. PLUS, it's supposed to stop the reboot issue when you install / flash XPOSED!

Here is link to the OP in the guid and scroll to "RECOMMENDED NEXT STEPS"

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039

You'll see a package that you can flash to get rid of VOLTE icon... (it's an individual fix, NOT the v15Fix)

I'd do the few individual fixes, but do not do the lag fix by changing governor to ondemand as suggested. GovTuner will fix your trouble! :)

Hope this helped!

Swick
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
If you're on PF2 firmware, I'd stay away from the v15 fix. I just know that I had SOOO much trouble when I flashed it that I had to revert the phones back to PE1 firmware. It just wasn't worth the trouble, lag, constant reboots, etc... now, it MIGHT HAVE NOT BEEN THE V15 fix! I fully accept that, but it appeared to be the issue for whatever reason... :( I really like the fix, cause the DEV that created it did such an amazing job on it! I really did like it! But, I would suggest staying away from v15Fix if you're on PF2 firmware. If you're on the "U" firmware, I do not know what will happen, but I'd suggest taking the first download:

]S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip[/COLOR] (any Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge) - this is supposed to be generic for all phones, variants, etc... BUT like I said, I'd suggest staying away from v15 fix if you're not using PE1.

Besides, the important fixes are available as individual fixes that can be flashed, and you can use titanium backup to freeze (or uninstall) the programs running to stop the other issues. This way you dont need v15fix....

Hope this helps!

I followed all the steps here, but I'm still getting quite a lot of lag/heat for a couple of minutes right after a reboot. Is this still going to happen? I assume it's normal, since scripts and everything need a bit to execute on boot, but I just wanted to be sure.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
[MENTION=7396742]thekojac[/MENTION] -

The first thing I'd SUGGEST STRONGLY is to make sure that you've disabled MOST of your apps from starting up when the phone is booting up - a great app to use is bootmanager (xposed dependent app). This'll stop all the apps you want from starting up automatically. It is a GREAT helper and CAN really make a HUGE difference in boot time (AND heat) (try this first)

You could try re-running govtuner and reloading the profile (using a terminal app - Then select the profile you are using or a different one and see what happens). Maybe try and disable the FSTRIM from running at bootup (I only enable this because I play around with ALL the partitions with adding & deleting files), and just run it manually every once in a while when you think it's needed. Also, try cleaning / deleting your cache, dalvik, junk files, etc. manually and disable the phone from running the cleaning at startup. (both of these are in LSPEED)

Also try disabling the media server if you want to or dont use it. (There are some flashable tweaks & apps that'll allow you to disable the media server permanently & reenable it when needed - or you can do it after bootup from within lspeed. You'll need to reboot if you need it.

(YET more suggestion from me that MAY be useless) heh

There are more suggestions that I can give you, but try those first and let me know what happens.

Hope this'll help ya!

Should I run the regular v15 fix or the one with the debloater?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
Whatever you prefer. I have found the debloater removes a lot of stuff and some of it, though not required, is fairly useful and somewhat important. I think it was the BBCAgent or the BEACON (Though I'm not sure, but I DID read on the android site EXACTLY what that app does, and it is extremely helpful with saving battery while polling for other bluetooth devices), and there are others I read that have been removed and were useful. As such, I just remove the items I KNOW I do not need and will not use, but that''s my personal preference. I do not like ANY bloat, but what some people call bloat is something I may find useful, so it's all based on your personal taste.

I'd suggest doing the v15 fix (universal WITHOUT the debloat), but that's my opinion. If you like a very slim rom, then go for the debloat version...

Hope this helps!

[MENTION=1436322]harveyr4[/MENTION] - After you replaced the file, did you set the correct permissions?

It's usually 0644 for the imservices.apk

and it's 0755 for the directory that the APK is placed it. From the sounds of it you haven't given the correct permissions, but I could be wrong. LMK if this helps...
