I have checked the permissions and they look right. My battery is like a 4 barrel sucking the gas down. It's taking for ever to do anything. Everything was working fine this morning, before I used ES File explorer to replace my original imsservice.apk "I did not rename my original .apk stupid me" Rebooted, and now I have all kinds of lag and a imsservice stopped working popup every 10 sec. I need real help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] orgulloso4202:
If you tell me where to get the apk I can try to copy it from my phone. I have Verizon s7 edge.

I think it might, but in that case just reinstall pf2 firmware. Did the apk I extracted didn't work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] LiquidT:
Trying to do it now, will let you know. Do you have the pf2 firmware?

Shoot, sorry... that is PB1 firmware... My bad!

Give me a sec, I do have the firmware.

Just will take 3 mins to put on my google drive.

I'll put PE1 & PF2.

In fact, I'd suggest you use PE1 if you're going to reset!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] LiquidT:
ok

here it is...

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/firmware-verizon-s7-edge-t3344092

on the OP the links to PF2 & PE1. (This is quicker and it's on XDA) :)

And, like i said above, use the PE1 version. I know it's a little older, but it works a lot better. Since you are resetting, that may give you far better results, IMHO!

And, if you have root now... Just go into download mode on the phone.

Load ODIN 3.12 (prince version)

I CAN confirm I've downgraded from PF2 to PE1 without ANY issues on my G930V (S7 - NON EDGE VARIANT)

Just load each of the files in odin - Bootloader, AP, CSC, etc.. Flash and you're good to go with PE1. Then root and follow my guide to fix lag issues and you should be good!

Or, you can certainly try the PF2 firmware, again, since you'll be on a totally clean system, but the PE1 is what I've had success on!

Then again, what the heck do I know?

BTW, I will try to update my phone to PF2, after a reset of course and total format... then I'll root and see if this works just as well. I know others have done it without problems, but from a clean, fresh, PF2 firmware. Will see what happens and let ya'll know later...

Enjoy!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
Okay, PER Gov-Tuner's OP (and posts 2 & 3 I believe) there are instructions and the commands that are available.

So, here is how it works...

Lets say you followed my guide, and used kernel auditor to change your governor from ondemand to interactive (again, hypothetically). You open up a terminal window on your phone and type the govtuner command (after the su command of course). Then you would select the profile that you want to use. For example, "performance". Okay, your all good and set.

Now, lets say you love that profile "PERFORMANCE", but you want to test out different governors. Then all you need to do is change the governor (through kernel auditor) from "interactive" to "ondemand" or whatever you want to test. Then you need to open up a terminal window, type su, then type "tune" (without quotes). Since you're already running in the performance profile, this command will TUNE the the newly selected governor to work in the performance profile you selected.

however, if that's too confusing for you, then...

WHENEVER you change the governor through KERNEL AUDITOR, just run the govtuner command from a terminal window and select the profile you want - even if it's already on "performance", select it again. This way it will run the tune command as well as change the profile (or reselect the profile)

Bottom line is any changes that you make to your governor (through kernel auditor, etc) you MUST run the tune command, or you can run the govtuner command and select, or re-select, the profile you want.

hope this makes it somewhat clearer...

Swick
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] orgulloso4202:
Thank you. I just did interactive in kernel auditor and performance on govtuner and it the su, then tune. Let's see what happens. I'm using both LSPEED app and LSPEED vector 3.3 script. I only used the script on my S4 and not the app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
Please believe me when I say this is going to sound like I'm being a total snob / jerk, but I do NOT mean it that way, I SWEAR, HONESTLY!

I'm just confused - I'm not sure why you mentioned the L Speed vector 3.3 script if you only use it in the S4. Am I missing something? (I get confused VERY easily - no joke, sadly! heh)

Also, you misunderstand...

Once you change the governor (to interactive), the you open a terminal window, type su, then type govtuner. Then select your profile. When you've seleted your profile, the "tune" command runs automatically when that profile is launched / selected.

HOWEVER, to make things a little easier (i think that's what the dev intended)... Assuming you still want to use the performance profile that you've been running, but change the governor to something else (like ondemand), then you can run terminal, type su, then type tune. That will tune the governor you've selected, to run in performance mod (since that's the profile you selected originally).

So, whenever you run govtuner and select a profile, the "tune" command runs at the same time.

Running govtuner, selecting a profile, and then running the "tune" command is redundant.

the tune command is to be run ONLY if you change the governor but still want to use the profile you've been running!

Does that make more sense?

Swick
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] orgulloso4202:
Sorry swick, I should have explained my self better. Yesterday late night I install govtuner with performance profile, but I already had kernel auditor running on demand. Today I read this whole thread and saw a post that said "tune", I wasn't sure if I missed something or what, that's why I asked. After your reply and recommendations to use interactive instead with performance I just used the "tune" command with terminal emulator instead of doing the whole thing.

Now to explain LSPEED. I been using LSPEED since it's beginning two years ago. First it Paget96 made it to be a flushable file, then LSPEED evolved to script file to be use with terminal emulator instead of zip file. Now it's an app, but it's more restricted than the script. In the app We lost adblocker, ability to switch kernel from Enforcing to Permissive. I personally used the first version if the app on my S4 but notice less improvement than the last LSPEED vector 3.3.3, so I switched back to the script on my S4 but still follow app development. Now that I'm on the S7 edge I decided to install the app and see if it's better, but I notice that kernel option to switch from Enforcing to Permissive was missing. So I'm running both script version or LSPEED and app. But I might just remove the Permissive option like I did for the adblocker so it doesn't conflict with app. Hope I explained it correctly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
Yeah, that makes sense... I started with L SPEED from the near beginning, too! But probably not as early as you did - you lucky son-of-a-gun!!! Believe me when I say I was KICKING MYSELF when I found LSPEED's project thread! It made my phones SOOO MUCH better! (If ONLY govtuner was available back then, too!) lOl :) I really did love the flashable file, frankly!

Also, I totally forgot that LSPEED had the option to disable SELINUX enforcing.

In fact, I'm running Viper4ATMOS Dolby Universal 4.8 (per my OP w/ install instructions) because it's the ONLY version of V4A that actually supports SELINUX set to enforce! I just might actually install the script to disable SELINUX so I can get V4A's latest version installed! (Assuming that'll work - I know, backup phone first!)

Do you use V4A on your S7? If so, what and how did you setup? If you dont mind, can you lmk how it works, if setup was a pain in the @**, etc...???

THANKS for the reminder! Can't believe I forgot about the SELINUX set to permissive was an option on lspeed 3.3.3. Maybe i should add to this? Could / would that help with any performance issues?

Thanks!!!

Swick
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] orgulloso4202:
Yes, I just installed v4a from your thread and I just set it up like 5 min ago using earbuds.

I have also heard about another mod similar LSPEED named skynet that it's better than LSPEED but I haven't tried it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
Now, in all seriousness... do you actually run with SELINUX set to permissive? I ask cause that'll open up a LOT of doors, potentially! INSANELY excited! I DO have LSPEED's flashable version from at least 2 years ago,, but I do not think I have the 3.3.3 vector. Could you post here for me? I really wanna disable SELINUX as that is such a PAIN IN THE ARSE!

Thanks!

Swick

PS. what's your opinion on the following - Do you think I should try the update to PF2 firmware? I ask because I see people having issues, but then again they are not doing a clean install. However, I thought I'd get your advice if you dont mind, heh! :) thanks again!

Oh, I'll put instructions on the OP for setting ESLINUX to passive - this way we can ALL enjoy V4A's latest version (possibly)! - I'll research it a bit more and try it out if it looks like the phone supports it & actually helps with audio... heh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] orgulloso4202:
I didn't do a fresh install. I actually rooted while running PF2 using another root guide and then happened to end up here. Here is a screen shot of the Eslinux

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
THANKS! got pandora file! (Do you want to leave up here, or remove?) Either way is FINE with me. I can put on OP, too. Just let me know - and I'll give you credit for all this stuff, too! (For supplying it, letting me/us know about it, etc...)

On another note, you're the man to ask...

So, with PF2 running (being the latest firmware)... Did you flash the v15 fix or not? How is your phone working on the PF2 firmware with lspeed app & govtuner / using my guide (loosely following it, haha!)?

Do you think it's running better, same, worse...??? I KNOW the guide works with PF2, but I've have many people tell me the v15fix causes problems (and I had issues with it, too!).

However, I wanted to get your perspective if you're willing!

Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] orgulloso4202:
Pandora, It doesn't bother me. This works both rooted and non-rooted devices.

Intalled kernel auditor then I did flash the v15 fixes first, then LSPEED app, then govtuner. So far is working fine. It's only on start up where I noticed lag but after everything settles it's fine. I didn't follow your guide for LSPEED since I had already set it up before stumbling on your thread. I haven't checked your recommendation, not to be rude in no way to you but I felt I had no need because of my own experience. For me my phone is working fine. I haven't install xposed yet maybe that is what is causing the issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
Yeah, startup will be the only time you really have any kind of issue. I mean, maybe some people dont, but all of my phones lag at the beginning of startup for a min or 2, at most!

You weren't being rude at all - I COMPLETELY understand. Everyone has their preferences, so it's understood! :)

I gave people my recommendations for speed, but I didn't do anything with resizing partitions, changing swap, etc... I figured others have guides and that can become a VERY sticky thing. I dont want to get in trouble & piss people off for bricking their phones. With this guide, I knew I was safe for the most part, lol!

Have you disabled the app's dealing with security and such...? I'd have to think you did, but that can cause lag issues if it's not frozen.

Also, have you installed somet kind of program tha tyou can use to disable apps from starting up? That is what typically will drain battery & cause a ton of lag on the phone, too! (Just suggestions - I'm sure you already know all this - but I tend to forget the simple stuff, haha!)

Anyway, installing LS shortly. It's funny caues it took me a second to figure out why a file like that has a PDF extension, but ONLY a second. thanks again for the files. It's greatly appreciated. I'll like the lspeed vector so everyone can disable selinux! (Set to permissive)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:

We are happy to help if we can!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] orgulloso4202:
I figured out the security log agent yesterday in the S6 forum and applied it. I have not installed any program to stop apps at start up, I have never used one so if you would kindly recommend one and what to stop I'll appreciate it. Yeah I figured that pdf extention would throw people off. That's why I linked my video just incase you did link the vector file. My next project is building my own rom for my Verizon s7 edge since the developer for wicked X rom I was using on my S4 probably will not be here in the Verizon thread but has given me some pointers on how to get started. This will be my first try to build a rom so I hope I'm successful. This is why I'm searching for tips, tricks, and anything that would make my rom better.

[MENTION=3260779]swick1981[/MENTION] I'm back on pe1, what v15 fix would you say to use on my SM-G935V Edge with verizon? I also want xposed to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
Well, on that firmware my personal experience is flashing the universal v15 fix. not the debloat version. It's the first option in the list...

Just follow my guide if you want xposed to work - i mean, it SHOULD work, but you never know with these devices, heh!

If I can do anything else, let me know!

Hope this helps!

Also, do NOT forget to freeze the apps in titanium backup (or your preferred app) that I have in my guide! Those 2 should help. I'm adding more apps to the freeze list shortly, too!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] blane3298:
has anyone tried putting the governor on performance and use the battery script?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
Sure, many times. It's not as good as performance mode, obviously, but it still works. You'll probably have a LITTLE bit of lag in some places and things you do...

Pleaes remember, the settings i sugggested in LSPEED are for performance!!! You can still use them with battery profile, but you might wanna back off on some of the settings to save even more battery!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] davidisflash:
I'm having trouble finding release notes for what changed in the pf firmware. Does it matter really which firmware we start with here prior to root?

I'm not sure if I have PE1 or PE2. i did flash the 930U firmware and I see this in the build version:

Baseband:

G930UUEU2APEH <-- is this PE1 or PE2?

Build Number

MMB29M.G930UUEU2APEH

Btw, since Pandora was brought up, just an FYI. I noticed that by default if I use apps like ForceDoze to force Doze right when the screen goes off, Pandora would stop after every song. Turning off forcedoze and any battery optimization for media apps like that or Youtube resolves the issues.

Should I have installed LSPEED Vector first, then LSPEED app? Or.... You OBVIOUSLY know this a HECK of a lot better than me, so could you give me some advice with setup help on this!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
That's unusual, as I've never really seen that happen. What governor & profile are you using? Is LSPEED loading at bootup? (Check mark shows in notification bar at boot when LSPEED runs the tweaks)

What firmware are you running? PE1, PF2? What v15 fix did you flash? Are you running any other tweaks that could be interfearing with LSPEED?

OH Boy, Completely Rooted, Xposed and no voLTE icons. I have all the L-Speed settings the same as [MENTION=3260779]swick1981[/MENTION] seems to be running fine at the point. Doesn't really seem blazing fast though. I will give it time to warm up a bet. Thanks swick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] orgulloso4202:
Sorry just saw this. Brought the family to Universal Studios Hollywood. I actually install the app first then vector. In vector I turn off everything that I could so it would compete with the app and for the ones I couldn't turn off I made it mirror the app. Hopes it helps. Also what do you recommend me us to stop apps from. Running at boot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
[MENTION=6462857]orgulloso4202[/MENTION] - I posted that you should run XPOSED with BOOTMANAGER. It's a module you can download... it'll DEFINATLY do the job, trust me. Using that, can seriously help decrease lag as MANY apps like to eat memory and be useless! LOL

Thanks for the info. Instead, I just downloaded SELINUX Changer. That'll do, i think. But, do you really think 4.3.3 vector is better than the LSPEED app on the play store?? I ask because the app has loaded it's settings, but vector is not seeing ANY of the settings the lspeed app has loaded. very weird! (IT DOES show that lspeed settings have been applied) Nothing is wrong, persay, i was just wondering if you had any suggestions as to why this is the case.

let me know what you think...

And LMK how xposed module works for you! you def want to disable the apps, it will help a LOT!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] orgulloso4202:
I'm not sure if your saying that vector doesn't have the same options as the app or that it says it's on but nothing happens. I believe vector has the same option just submenus

[MENTION=6462857]orgulloso4202[/MENTION] -

Sorry, I guess I wasn't specific enough - my bad!

Here is the prob, I run LSPEED app and it automatically runs to make changes, that's all well & good. For instance, one of the settings i have is for my seeder to be DOUBLE or something like that.

HOWEVER, when I launch LS in terminal, it shows that the seeder is disabled. But it shouldn't be...

So, any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] swick1981:
Dont forget to disable the apps you don't need during startup.

Use BOOTMANAGER! It's VERY important and can help increase speed CONSIDERABLY!

Hope you see the phone speed up!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] LiquidT:
Which apps do you recommend and are safe to disable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] orgulloso4202:
[MENTION=3260779]swick1981[/MENTION] I see the issue. The problem here is that your looking at LSPEED Tyrant the app and LSPEED vector the script as one, but in reality neither one talks to each other. By this the app will do it's thing and the script will do it's thing. For example if you have seeder on, on the app it will function regardless if it's on or off on the script. So if your turn both on both will execute hope I'm explaining and if you have one on (app) and one off (script) the app will run and the script will stay off. Think of them as two separate. When I had my S4 running both script and app it actually worked fast but they Almost similar builds, but I did notice both performance improvement and battery drain. This time in my S7 I have what I want on on the app and off on the script and what I can't turn off on the script I have it match the app. Hope I didn't confuse you.
