For those with Nova Launcher, it seems to have something suitable with its Nova activities widget, which allows selection of a plethora of things including many system settings. I don't have an A7 yet but I had a look, if other shortcut apps can do it then Nova should be able to too, I used it on my current phone (LeTV Le 1S) to turn Clearvision on.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] reddrago:
Nova works perfectly with this too. Thank you for the tip.

Then flash any new one through twrp.no big deal.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simone98RC:
When you speak of stock rom are you referring to a zipped firmware or to entire KDZ version?

In the second scenario you've to use LGUP with 8974 drivers.

If you are in the first scenario, are you sure that baseband and bootstack are compatible with the installed firmware?

I would suggest you the other method to prevent mistakes.

Is much simple and secure for your device, no need to put it in bootloader mode.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarrisL147:
I am using a zipped firmware. What is baseband and bootstack?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simone98RC:
They are an abbreviation of that partitions concerning (respectively) modem and bootloader.

For example, on LG and many other devices, baseband include /modem, /tz and /rpm.

Try the LGUP method as specified in my above post.

Recently I've updated to Marshmallow on ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser 5.5(Z00LD), then it has gone into boot loop, recovery is lost, Only Fastboot mode working. The mobile is not rooted.

Please help.

Tried unlocking bootloader from fastboot, it is failing.

*Thanks in Advance
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rehanskqa18:
Thats not the end. If You can enter the fastboot mode then great.

-Download stock boot n recovery for ur Z00LD

-Download ADB Fastboot drivers and install on your pc. (Minimal Adb and fastboot is an easy available tool.).

-put your phone in fastboot mode and connect to pc.

- open minimal Adb fastboot interface( its a command prompt) or if you have installed ADB fastboot drivers then just press SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK (mouse). Will give you an option to open Command promp. Click it. And a terminal will open on that same path.

-type the following commands.

>fastboot devices

>Fastboot flash boot boot.img

>Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

>Fastboot reboot (before you press enter hold the volume down key so you will enter into recovery)

Thats it you have now your phone with fastboot and recovery and you can further if required install rom from sd card or sideload.

Okay... i need to get this figured out. Having major lag in the games I play and i tried everything drom the previous s7 recommendations. Disable Game Center, Game Mode, etc. I'm up to my last nerve. This is one the mosf hardware intensive devices on the market and it cant run games without lagging and getting horrible FPS? Anyone know anything to help this issue... anything is always appreciated. Thank You
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dsedapr:

I play fallout shelter, and it crashes after during launch.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] EarlZ:
I had an S7 (Exynos) before and I was very impressed to see how good it ran games for an extended amount of time. I ran an app called system monitor which has a pop up window showing CPU utilization and speed and I was very impressed that the S7 would run all of its high powered cores on 2.1-2.3Ghz in the games I tested. ( HIT, Mobius Final Fantasy , Non Stop Knight )

Now with the note 7 (Exynos 930FD), I immediately noticed that Mobius Final Fantasy is now stuttering on my device so I ran system monitor and saw that that 2 of the big cluser cores are offline and the other 2 are only running at 1.4Ghz. I restarted the app, saw all 4 cores peg at 2.3Ghz for about 10seconds then it turns off the 2 cores then after about 15seconds more the big cluster drops it clock speeds to 1.4Ghz and has a very stuttery game play.

This did not happen with my S7. I do not know if the latest software update had anything to do with this as I updated the phone before I installed anything. The same deal happens on my GF's phone too.

I only played the said games when I still had my S7 (which i've sold, but not for the note 7 )

I am hoping that this is just a software issue on the Note 7 but on the other side its 'just the same' phone.

I have seen some Exynos gaming videos on the Note 7 in youtube with 60FPS and they look very smooth but I am not sure if it is due to the 60fps capture.

I have also tried running the screen resolution in 720P and the Big clusters still drop to 1.4Ghz and power off 2 cores. quote.

Are you guys using the Snapdragon 820 or Exynos 8890 ?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ZiprLips:
820
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] EarlZ:
I have noticed something, If I press the home button and return to the game or just use the multitask button and return to the game immediately the game frame rates go up and the game runs smooth for the next 10-15seconds before it stutters. I remember with the Nexus 6P when the phone thermal throttled after 2-3mins of gaming if I put it infront of the AC the cores would run at max speed and my game would be very smooth but on the note 7 it will drop the performance. Im thinking this could only be a software glitch.

What games are those ?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] clubtech:
This.

I have the same model as you and noticed that after the latest update , games that were not lagging at launch now lag and stutter. Hopefully a fix is coming.

My s7 edge exynos does not lag with the same games. This N930FD also didn't lag in games when I got the phone last week, until the latest software update.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] EarlZ:
I never had the chance to try the game with the shipped software as I immediately updated it but if you say it didnt lag with the stock software then that is awesome to hear, i hope it is just a software isssue and this feedback needs to get to samsung asap.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] AaronRX:
Have you mates tried to doing a factory reset and clearing the cache partition after you updated the firmware?

It fixed the stutter issues for me.

Using a SM-N930FD variant here.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] EarlZ:
Hit on the S7 was very very smooth at Graphics 4, Mostly hovering around 56-60fps. In Graphics 5 it sat around 50-55 depending on what is on screen. With the note 7 I still get similar FPS but lower and stuttering at times on Graphics 4.

I performed a factory reset, before and after updating I did not clear the cache anymore since I thought a factory reset will clear the cache. I will do that in a bit. Did you have stuttering issues prior to doing a factory reset? What games?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] AaronRX:
I didn't have anymore stuttering issues after I did a factory reset.

Games I played were Asphalt 8 and Shadow Fight 2. Although I had more frames on the firmware that came with the phone before I updated it.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] EarlZ:
Power+Vol up+ Home then clear cache partition right?

You are the second person to report that the stock firmware the phone came with had a better FPS.

I'm getting lag while playing Future Fight and I don't see any reason this would happen. I tried disabling Game Tools but that didn't make any difference.

I'm in the US so it's the SD820, shouldn't this thing have better GPU performance?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] clubtech:
The GPU is fine, it's something with Samsung's software that does this.

I have the Exynos on both the Note 7 and the S7 Edge nod while the s7 edge runs the games fine, the note 7 is dropping frames and stutters a little. Both devices have the exact same CPU/GPU. We'll see if they fix it with a software update.

Hopefully sooner than later, I was hoping to play a lot of graphics intensive games on this thing.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] zhugelian:
I've been looking online and the general response I'm getting is that Android just lags and that's something I've to accept coming from iOS. Is this true? With these specs I really expected this phone was going to be like a portable iPad when it came to gaming.

Do you think a patch can keep the frames from dropping so bad during graphics intensive games? I scored so high on the benchmark it's really difficult to swallow that such an expensive piece of tech can't keep up when running a game that an iPA2 can run flawlessly.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] EarlZ:
Some games run better on iOS, but the issue on the note 7 started with the latest update as per 2 other posts on this thread, What Ive noticed is that the phone shuts down 2 of the high performance cores in about 10-15seconds of gaming. Tapping the multi-task button and going back to the game brings the cores back. This was not the case with the S7 and S7E.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] zhugelian:
Aww man, I wonder what that's about. So who do we need to contact to get someone to look into this, AT&T or Samsung. So lame, I love all the new Android features but this gaming performance thing is a real drag.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] statikk1:
You got a top end smartphone with dual edge curves to play graphic intensive games on it? Sounds like you should have got an nvidia shield or a gaming console :)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] zhugelian:
I have an iPad at home to play when I am relaxing there but most of the time I'm at work on break or on the go. This is actually my work phone so I got it on discount and wanted to try out Android for the first time since my personal phone is an iPhone. My 6 Plus lags in the same areas but I just thought the Note 7 would be able to hack it since it's 2 years older.

The game isn't THAT graphics intensive but it's got a lot more going on than Clash Royale or COC if you know what I mean.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] clubtech:
What the above posted said is what i see as well. In Shooty Skies for example, when i launch the game i get frame drops down to 40 and 30fps but if i heat the multi task button and bring the game right back from there, it runs steady at 60fps. Very odd.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] zhugelian:
So there's a chance of being patched then, that makes me feel better. Does it stick once you hit multitasking? I'll try that next time I run a level.

---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 PM ----------

Reporting after a short test and can confirm the game ran smoothly after hitting the multitasking. It performed well for a little while longer than started chugging again, I hit the multitask and it went away again /shrug

I've downloaded and played Marvels Future Fight and from the few minutes of play, everything appeared to be working fine/smooth. :good:
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] zhugelian:
Thanks for trying, the main lag comes from WB mode that requires at least 3 6* heroes which takes a while to get to. If you want go into skill preview and use Proxima's 6* attack, that's usually a move that lags the game. In WB mode up to 5 heroes come out and do their moves at the same time and that's when major lag occurs.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] statikk1:
I'll try to test it some more on this to see what happens.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] EarlZ:

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] EarlZ:
Cool, Do you have game tuner installed?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Derpling:
This been happening ever since 6.0.1 on mine Note 5 and now S7 and S7E, my main games are AB2 and tekken, both used to work perfect on Note 5 with lollipop, now with all devices it lags so hard i want to break the phone.

Luckily if u root the S7, u can use imagebreak kernel which will eliminate DVFS so it won't throttle your phone at all when u gaming, resulting in higher battery drain because your phone will work the way it should work when gaming, Samsung doing that on purpose to save battery life.

As for N7, wait for similar solution, it's not gonna change, if those games lag now, it will lag forever.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] zhugelian:
I do, I tried every setting and it still lags on lowest resolution and lowest settings in game when certain moves are performed. Bummer.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] EarlZ:
Unless they changed that recently (july) my games ran super smooth on the s7
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] zhugelian:
Is that the technical term for what's going on here? DVFS? Such a letdown that's not an option we can switch off.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Derpling:
They use a new driver which improved performance a bit, yes but not in my case, thing is on Note 5 all worked PERFECT with 5.1.1, Samsung did something awful with 6.0.1, i have a youtube channel and u can see how smooth T6 worked with N5.

Yes it is a shame, at least if it we would be able to tune it like we want, that would be great.

Gametuner is crap as well, as well as gamemode, prior to 6.0.1 gamemod never existed, i think the only way for things to run smooth on our devices, is using Vulkan API.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] zhugelian:
After learning what DVFS was and how it functions, it makes total sense now. When I use a particular hero in this game she has a move that typically will create some frame drop as soon as you use the skill. I've tried with max resolution and max settings down to lowest resolution in Game Tuner with lowest settings in game and every time I hit the skill the first time the game pauses. But if I keep hammering the skill repeatedly the following animations don't lag until I put some space between them, then I get the lag again.

So I guess the mystery is solved for me, the device is throttling the power until it thinks it's necessary, supplying the power until it feels it's unnecessary, then supplying it again and so on. So technically this thing should be able to smoke anything we throw at it but since the app isn't optimized for the phone yet the time it takes for the Note to supply the power creates a drop in frames. Still a bummer but at least now I know what's doing it. I honestly would rather lose the battery power to get a clean gaming experience when I need it than getting this lag though.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Derpling:
Yep that basicall the devil that is DVFS, as if Interactive governor problems wasn't enough, you got DVFS to battle with too.

If you ever root your device then install imagebreaker kernel, and game, you will see how smooth the phone suddenly becomes, since he got rid of the DVFS.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] zhugelian:
So now all I need to do is wait for a SD820 root, the app to update to Vulkan API or be optimized to request enough power for the entire stage when it loads instead of demanding it in real time. Any way I slice it it'll be a month at least before anything like that. I am however glad that it's not the device itself that can't handle it.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] EarlZ:
So that new driver is not yet on the S7 and S7E as until now? they run games way smoother.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] i killed tupac:
I just downloaded this on my T-Mo Note 7 to test for you. I had to update the Google Play Games thing, and mine is also unplayable. I can create a vault, but when it goes to "Please Stand By", the game just crashes.

EDIT: second time I tried, it froze, went to lock screen, but when I unlocked it, the game is now running fine.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Derpling:
Yes the driver is out now, but it does not help at all, unless you got some Vulkan games.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] EarlZ:
If thats the case then something is really wrong with how the Note 7 is running games. I managed to borrow a friends S7 which has the latest updates and It still runs Mobius Final Fantasy ( only game I tested ) significantly smoother.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] EarlZ:
Update: I managed to downgrade my firmware to the version that it shipped with and got a very little boost in performance ( or could be placebo ) it is still not as smooth as the galaxy S7 ( I only tested 2 games. HIT & Mobius ) a friend of mine also dropped by who got his note 7 and didnt perform the software upgrade yet. The performance is also not upto how good it was on the S7. We are both running APGI/APGD firmwares. I am not sure if there is even an older version that this that others have confirmed to run some games smoother.

I hope sammy can fix this via software.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Derpling:
Probably a bit later, a developer will make a kernel that can bypass DVFS and your performance should be better, but this is really annoying.

This is one area where iPhone ****s over all androids, gaming, iPhone is best at gaming and u might think that S7 and N7 with their specs should be good, which they are if they weren't gimped on purpose by sammy.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] EarlZ:
Not an option for me to modify as I need the warranty. I dont know if itd DVFS as the s7 until now runs the games smoother as compared to the note 7.

My guess is that samsung decided on a very aggersive power saving on the note 7 to compesate for the smaller batter. If you game occationally then the s7 or s7e should be the device to get.

Im a little upset about this but I am not a hardcore mobile gamer but I do game to pass time. I expected the same performance as on the S7. The games they test on youtube runs okay-ish on my phone and can be defined as smooth but not as smooth as it runs after pressing the multi-task button.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Derpling:
Ye i wanted and still want to get a Note 7 but those stupid restrictions... yesterday i played with my friend's Note 3(Xiamoi not sammy) and that thing FLIES, UI performance are way better than any samsung phone, gaming performance were great as well, to my surprise Angry birds 2 didn't lag at all, i was amazed.

There is a chance with Nougat that sammy might loosen up the tights a bit, but idk at that point.
