[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jcadduono:
This particular chipset (64-bit Exynos) uses the uncompressed Image and a separate dtb.img file made from combining all the dtb revisions of your device codename and region into a DTBH format.

You can flash them using my LazyFlasher project.

See: https://github.com/jcadduono/lazyflasher

You will want to use the kernel-flasher branch. The kernel-flasher-samsung branch isn't fully ready and adds additional patch files to remove TIMA/Knox. I've yet to find out everything that needs to be changed from stock state to allow a bootable custom kernel without disabling encryption, unfortunately.

You can simply git clone it, then place your Image and optionally dtb.img in the root folder of the repository, then type "make" to build a TWRP flashable zip. They will be dynamically replaced in the current boot image on the device when the zip is flashed. You can check out the README.md for more info.

If you want to generate your own dtb.img to include in the installer, you can use a script I made from my universal8890 kernel sources on GitHub:

https://github.com/jcadduono/android_kernel_samsung_universal8890/blob/stock-6.0/dtbgen.sh

(correct the toolchain location for your build in the script)

It also requires the scripts/dtbTool folder (from the same git linked above) to be present in your repository. It's not the same as the Qualcomm dtbTool, and the sources are included (and fairly clean!) if you're interested in learning the Exynos dtb.img (DTBH) format.

./dtbgen.sh hero2lte xx

Now, there's still quite a bit that needs to be done to make the device actually boot successfully and be stable with a custom kernel. While the kernel is perfectly stable, the Samsung customized Android OS will absolutely freak out. That's a bit beyond me, and the reason I haven't really worked on any custom kernels for it myself.

Have fun!

[MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION] couldn't make the kernel boot after packing it with lazyflasher. I built a completely stock kernel from the mentioned source, pasted the "Image" (not the Image.gz) file in lazyflasher root and then used make command. Tried including "exynos8890-smdk8890.dtb" file as well. Same story. Not sure if I need anything else in the package or I made user mistake. Do you have any ideas how could I debug what makes it stuck on that screen?

Thanks!

Galaxy S7 Edge Kernel Flashing Issues

I am currently trying to flash a different kernel into a galaxy s7 edge (SM-G935S).

I have gone as far as building a kernel and extracting a Image file from it, but every time I try flashing a boot.img with a replaced kernel image file, it seems to never work.

A mkbootimg tool that I am currently using requires a dtb file, but I cannot find where to get it from.

I have tried using [MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION]'s git code, but the dtb file created from it doesn't seem to work as well.

Can anyone tell me what I should do to flash a kernel successfully?

kernel panic after flashing

Hi @ll,

with this guide I was able to compile my own kernel and also flashing it to my phone. Unfortunatelly I'm getting kernel panic after rebooting the phone. is there any possibility to get the reason for this? Or do you have any hint, what I may have done wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards

Does anyone know where you can obtain one of these elusive doohickeys now? I didn't order my device from a provider that offered it as a freebie (and after the issues I have had with my chosen vendor, I wished I had ordered direct now) and I am struggling to find someone who stocks it.

I would purchase from Amazon or Handtec and use the price match service they offer.

Hi

I have just bought an S7 Edge to replace my Note 3 and now need to switch my S2 to connect to the Edge instead. Does anyone know of an online guide anywhere which would tell me what I should do please?
[Samsung Gear S2] Gio999:
Just go to the watch settings (on the watch) and reset it to factory settings. Then you can find and pair the watch from the Gear Manager on the new phone.
[Samsung Gear S2] Pinmac:
Thanks, presumably I will lose all the settings on the watch and have to start from scratch?
[Samsung Gear S2] Gio999:
There is not so many settings on the watch itself.
[Samsung Gear S2] Pinmac:
That was surprisingly easy. I did a light reset and went from there. I had written down all the details such as the order of my widgets and quickly had it looking just as it was with my old phone. Even kept the data from My Notes in Gear.
[Samsung Gear S2] kbboykin:
Yes, light reset is the way to go. You can go into your Samsung account and re-download all previous downloaded apps. I had to do this twice: going from S6 to Note 7 and after replaced recalled Note 7
[Samsung Gear S2] Gio999:
What is light reset?
[Samsung Gear S2] kbboykin:
Light reset keeps all of your personl data, but delete all downloaded apps

I got a replacement this morning and was wondering if I can permenantly block updates somehow? I know I don't have a faulty model now and don't want the ugly new features they added in there.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] black96ss:
Get the package disabler app from play store. You can disable the software updates without root
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Rydah:
What's ugly about it? Lol just curious.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] phillyundead:
I don't like that all notifications are combined now. It's very irritating. The phone is also much laggier than before I've noticed. Charges slower. The faulty note 7 was too lazy for a $850 device to begin with, but I hoped they'd fix it. I really don't like the green battery either, but that's not a big deal really.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] harveydent:
In my experience it was way less laggy than V1 and fixed most of the issues I had in gaming with poor performance and muddy textures. Plus the fingerprint sensor is really fast now
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] fogame:
The update fixes the laggy issue but you'll get everything else as well.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] douger1957:
I updated V1 because I have a V2 on order and had nothing to lose. Since it's the same hardware sans battery, I wanted to see what the update would do.

It was indeed quite laggy until I ran the device maintenance app and rebooted. It seems to be smoother now than before. I do, however, prefer the previous notification pull down.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] netmerc:
Has anyone noticed a change in their status notifications?

On my original Note 7 notifications were not "grouped" if I had multiples from the same app (Facebook). Now I have to tap on the group to get them to expand.

I have noticed similar behavior for SMS messages. I no longer get a message preview and I do not have the option to reply from status bar..
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Phillygirl72:
I agree!

I received my replacement last night and there is definitely a lag, but nothing like the POS HTC Desire they gave me as a loaner and after charging on the wireless charger all night, it was only at 76%. I also cannot for the life of me find where I can change the alarm ringtone now (the settings does not have that option any longer) which is I why I came here. I did notice some interesting additions though.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] netmerc:
If you go to the Clock App then select the Alarm tab. Select the Alarm entry you would like to modify (or create a new one). To change the ringtone select the Sound and Volume.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] phillyundead:
The fingerprint scanner on my old note 7 was fast. I don't know what everyone is talking about. My replacement was fine until I was forced to update.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] phillyundead:
Just a heads up. I still don't like the new notifications but the phone has seemed to speed up. The only issue I have right now is my battery life is mediocre. I'm trying to figure that out today.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Intub8:
The iris scanner is super fast now compared to pre update.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] phillyundead:
I haven't even tried it once since having a note 7. Useless feature that adds $ on to the tag.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Heinous:
It's certainly not essential, but it can be handy if you are wearing gloves or something.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] phillyundead:
That's what they said about the unlock with your face nonsense a few years back too.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] richie_b:
I really doubt this iris scanner is gonna make it to the next note.....people are not crazy about it ...i for one don't use it, I wear glasses most times, I'm not gonna do the trial and error thing with it or take my glasses off....fingerprint is perfect for me.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Heinous:
Yes, and that was also pretty handy. I used it all the time, especially if my hands were full, wet, gloved, etc.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] phillyundead:
I'd rather use the pen in extreme cases. It's just a gimmick to add $ to the price.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Heinous:
I probably wouldn't miss it if it were gone, but it is useful enough that I won't complain about it being there.

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

If one or both hands are full and you can't touch the screen or fingerprint scanner, how is taking the pen out and using that easier than simply looking at the phone with your face?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] phillyundead:
Why do you need to use your phone with no free hands? I meant when your hands are wet or with gloves?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Heinous:
Well, you did say "extreme cases."

If one had is full and the other hand is full (of the rather large phone) and your fingers a gloved, wet, sticky, or out of position to touch the screen or home button, point it at your face and boom its unlocked. Then you can see whatever is on screen and if necessary use voice commands to interact with the phone. The pen is not easier in that situation.

Example: I am working on my motorcycle/boat/etc. and have a manual or other reference on screen on my phone. I need to refer back to the picture but the screen is off because it has been several minutes since I needed it last. My hands are either wet, greasy, or in mechanic's gloves. No problem, because I can power on, face/iris unlock, see what I need and get back to work in a matter of seconds.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] bishmaster5000:
My old Note 7 was very fast to recognize that a fingerprint was on the home button, but it failed to read my print 7 out of 10 times. I even had multiple fingerprints registered at different angles to try to get more matches. New one seems to be more accurate but I've only had it a day.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] mgymnop:
Agree iris scanner is fast and fingerprint scanner too. There is no delay at all between touching the home button and unlock. Pretty cool. Battery life is pretty good but I deactivated report diagnostic info. That was a tip before the update to lower battery consumption.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] parusia:
Well probably for the average people the iris scanner is not a big deal, but for some companies that need security and privacy the iris scanner is a very nice and secure way to invest their money.

The company I work for is a big company, and they are talking about bringing the note 7 as the company phone because of the level of security involved with this phone.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] phillyundead:
As long as you scan all sides of your finger it should have worked great. Mine almost never didn't get it right. Even my s7edge was immediate with the fingerprints.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] bishmaster5000:
You're not the only one. I keep my notifications clear as much as possible, so if an app spams a bunch of them it's nice that they get grouped.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Natureboy72:
I love it too!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] mgbotoe:
I like it too. Hate it when theres crap load of notification just sitting there by the same app.

I also like how i can minimize my notification at the status bar with the new additional setting feature.

I like the update...if root comes to it yay, if not i guess oh well? I bought the device knowing I will not have root. Not going to stay on a crappy software for root.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Heinous:
I have looked through the settings so many times, and cannot find a way to ungroup the notifications.

It totally defeats the purpose of having "at a glance" notifications, and it needs to go away...

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] CDRacingZX6R:

iris scanner is pretty cool IMO. log into website just by looking at the phone.

IF my hands are full or wet (phone might be water proof but screen glitches and fingerprint doesnt work when wet)

iris scanner is great. Also had times where i use my gear fit 2 to check something and click show on phone and all i have to do is look at it. Better to get a cheap watch dirty vs $800 phone.

And i havent done the update yet. I dont care for the green battery and i hate the group messaging. My girl updated her phone and the group alerts are crap.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] nonmindo:
I'm trying to figure out how to ungroup the notifications as well, its annoying AF

Like the others I have spend countless time going through all the settings and have found nothing

For everyone else mentioning performance....

My Recalled Note 7 was TERRIBLE, laggy, poor battery life(of course) and the most annoying thing was that it would often miss screen presses or mis-register them, even when I still had the recalled unit and installed the update all of those issues persisted.....

The replacement Note 7 with the new firmware makes the phone everything that it should have been to begin with.........except now notifications are grouped and its annoying lol
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] gaad0701:
Also related to the update, anyone else using Action Launcher 3 or Nova? On my V1 Note 7 I was able to use the Stock Clock/weather widget, on V2 with update it seems to have disappeared from both 3rd party launchers (it is still available on TouchWiz.)

I'm using Dashclock as a substitute for now, but it isn't as pretty. ?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] bigillz:
Add me to the list. I do NOT want notifications grouped. I cannot find any setting to remove it. Adding insult to injury, searching for "note 7 update notifications" and variations of that yield all articles about the notifications that an update is needed or about the recall/warning notifications you get from the update.

I echo the sentiments of someone earlier in this thread - the utility of notifications is greatly reduced when you have to interact with it to read them. It's a stupid change to force on people; were it an option, I'm all for it.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] borijess:
AT&T did not do this yet with the new update. Hopefully they don't.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Heinous:
It's definitely a step backwards in the evolution of the notification drawer. Google Now notifications are the worst for me, because I almost always have a weather update showing and any reminder or other notification instantly changes it from super handy to a bundle of useless garbage.

Maybe they did it to distract us from the ugly green battery and are planning to change it back later once we have all gotten used to the battery...
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] black96ss:
Hopefully picking up my v2 soon. I already have package disable .apk on a sd card to block the update. I'm not even letting them take it out of the box. My v1 has actually been a really good phone so far. I kinda don't want to surrender it
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Heinous:
It's bad, but it's not really worth blocking the update. The performance improvements are worthwhile.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] black96ss:
I would but I want to keep root as well
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Chr0nicDreamz:
I believe [MENTION=4835387]OvrDriVE[/MENTION] had mentioned this, since the root method won't really allow you to do much by way of flashing upgrades, you may have to re-root using the new system image.
