I use the stock touchwiz rom. My phone is currently off and charging so I can't really outline my undervolting (every phone is different), but you should use the profile which aldoblaga has provided in the first page (it should be the same undervoltage values which i'm currently using on the latest prometheus kernel and touchwiz firmware).

As for apps, i use disable services and ez package disabler to disable all those touchwiz and google bloat apps and services which are irrelevant to my daily usage. I could upload my ez package disabler and disable services app profiles, but if people use them and certain services - which i don't use, but they use - begins to malfunction (such as google cast/wear/tap and pay), then i might get a torrent of abuse from certain immature members on this forum e.t.c.

I turn on power saving (doesn't affect performance) and stick all apps into app powersaving (but i don't think it does much as all my IMs are still syncing in the background before i open them). I also use a black theme (search 'touchwiz black' in the theme store) for maximum sAMOLED efficiency (excellent black levels and power saving; win-win).

General prom kernel settings are smartmax_eps with stock cpu freqs (2.3 GHz mongoose/1.7 GHz apollo) and interactive with stock gpu freqs (650 MHz gpu). FIOPS for both internal and sd card I/O schedulers (but i'd prefer BFQ for sd card I/O, if lyapota adds it into the next update). The rest should be provided in aldoblaga's profile from the first page.

I'm still fighting some wakelocks in my device, so i still have a lot to learn :p
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] aldoblaga:
Bravo my man! A true and dedicated modder. U re using prom 1.7.1 or which version? It s a good thing that my synapse settings for 1.4 work on every other version released since! Kudos to [MENTION=1148003]lyapota[/MENTION] for keeping things easy to config going from version to version and backwards compatibility between profile versions is possible!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Big Bread:
Haha, thanks. Yes, i'm using 1.7.1 and indeed many thanks to lyapota for keeping the configs universal between kernel versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Maltonator:
I just tried out aldo's perfection version 2 with renovate rom 1.1 r39 and it seems to be pretty fine.

I will try out the "battery" option for interactive governor with the next charge and then smartmax governor after this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Big Bread:
Keep us updated on your findings (by screenshots) from both governors with their respective settings, please. I have always been curious to see how smartmax_eps compares to interactive with battery settings enabled in synapse.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Thread cleaned yet again. If people want to have a screen on time contest that's upto them, if people want to OC or UV its upto them. But ALL members must be polite to each other, if someone's posts are annoying then add them to your ignore list
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Maltonator:
I will report soon but it will need some days. Especially if the battery usage has to be similar to each "kernel-setting-test"

I'm now using Superman ROM with superstock kernel, and i want to try this kernel now with that rom, so my question is, if i change kernel now, should y root again and flash xposed again or just flashing kernel will be fine?<br />

<br />

Thanks in advance!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Code124Y:
seem v1.4 is better in ur current setting, gonna bavkup n try 1.4 now...

edit: do i need to flash supersu after flashing v1.4?

edit 2: i just try flash 1.4 and end up getting stuck on bootloader screen lol!

reflash su.2.77 also fail...

anyhelp?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] aldoblaga:
Mabe you re using note 7 port? I m not sure if 1.4 works with note 7 port roms..i use and reccommend only stock-based roms from s7 edge not ports. Currently using tekxnesis urv 5.5 a really old rom but based on samsung stock rom from way back in march. Excellent battery life and performance for my 24/7 use. I don t see the need to upgrade myself...but everybody s different.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Code124Y:
nope... im on stock rom, with rooted only...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] aldoblaga:
Then really dunno what to say to be honest...ask around maybe someone else had your experience...i can t say
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] maris__:
v1.4 is based on APG ROM with the "old" bootloader, so it is not compatible with newer ROMs including the BPH bootloader or later. For the newer ROMs, you need v1.5 or higher.

Best, maris
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mj084:
I think it has more to do with old GPU-driver....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] noisystyle:
after I flashed the kernel lose the root, why?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Maltonator:
Which rom do you use? Try a different root option in aroma while flashing the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mj084:
Maybe u have to flash root App/Zips after flashing a new kernel...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Code124Y:
weird.. i will try again tomorrow.. because.. even eith version 1.7.1, my phone wont boot up... currently on VolTaqe 4.0
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Maltonator:
I finally managed to get two comparable results of battery runtime with "interactive governor" and "interactive governor with battery setup". The result is quite amazing.

So, this was with normal "interactive governor" settings . Very light usage and almost no 3D Games - so absolute maximum of SoT without just letting the phone laying around.

If I used the phone more heavy, SoT was at 6,5 hours:

And this was with "interactive and battery" settings:

Performance was good at both. But I´m not a benchmark guy :P
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] aldoblaga:
Awesome man! But i see your phone radio only consumes 3%..i m guessing you have excellent reception...i travel a lot for example and have horrible reception and for anyone that s active and always on the road they should know that the phone singla will almost always influence the battery performance they get.

Keep up the good work and most importantly- ENJOY YOUR AWESOME PHONE!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Maltonator:
With both setups i used WiFi for about 60-70% of the time. Normally I use mobile data more often but to compare I just wanted to have similar usage.

Thanks for sharing your synapse setups!

Edit: But I live in a region where the connection is very good and I don't travel so much. So that won't kill my battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bravopicasso:
Thanks for sharing, flat or edge ? Exynos ? And what is battery set up ? Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] aldoblaga:
Only exynos version supported by prometheus kernel
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Maltonator:
Flat version. Battery setup in interactive governor settings in synapse.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] donky kong 017:
Does anyone have experience, settings, tips or even a synapse profile for the Note port version.

I went with the aroma settings provided here and tried different profiles. I test now some tweaking an smartmax eps.

I'm looking for the best battery life and long sot. For now I have to say that the stock tw roms performed better than the note ports with the same setup in terms of battery.

People are sometimes showing sot that I can only dream of.

Thanks for your help
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Maltonator:
Try this with aroma stock settings and Prometheus V 1.6.2. It's optimized for best battery life (see screenshots a few posts ago) with no performance issues.

It's made by aldoblaga and customized by me.

Hope it will be fine for your phone too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] donky kong 017:
Thanks so much. I will try ASAP.

Is there a reason you are using 1.6.2 and not the latest 1.7.0? Does it make any difference?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Maltonator:
No it's just the version I installed first and never had a reason to update it. And this worked together with original setup by aldo. So "never touch a running system".

But you can also try to "install" it with 1.7. Worst thing that can happen is that synapse shows an error. If you try, please report here!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] donky kong 017:
Ok thanks for the help.

Installed 1.7.0 and applied your setup profile. I think I changed the aroma values to what was provided here in the thread by Aldo.

I will report back with screens after the next full cycle. So far it looks pretty promising.

Do you have any recommendations for the Governor? Now it's interactive again. I tried smartmax eps and saw significant battery improvements but also lost performance.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Maltonator:
Governor is interactive because it worked better for me than smartmax but try for yourself.

As you can see in my screenshots some posts ago I did a comparison of interactive only and interactive with battery settings. The last one worked pretty good for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bravopicasso:
Very happy with your config aldo, but there is a reason why do you not put lower lowest frequency ? Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bravopicasso:
Flat, 4g réception between 0 and 50%, efficient rom, sync on
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] aldoblaga:
Yep, the reason is that anything below 624mhz on Mongoose cores and 338 on Apollo will result in the cpu throttling up (or staying mostly) @ 1.2ghz for the Mongoose cores...Samsung knows what it s doing by letting the frequencies stay at 728 and 442 ;)

If you go up a bit to 832/546 for example...you can lower the max clocks and get a very small boost in overall performance and battery as well because the cpu will use the lower clocks more...but it s neglijable and your mileage will vary... hope this helps
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bravopicasso:
So that's why your profile is really better than mine ! Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] aldoblaga:
Well i ve been tweaking phones since the original galaxy :))))
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] donky kong 017:
Ok this is already pretty amazing. I played around with the settings during this cycle and switched governors several times and rebooted several times and set up the whole amplify thing. But all that aside it was pretty amazing for my experience. Got almost 7h sot in the end.

I used alucard in the and used dancedance a while but they were a bit choppy for my taste. Alucard is maybe a bit more usable but I now switched back to interactive for the next cycle.

I assume with battery settings you mean the profile settings in cpu governor settings tab? [MENTION=6207443]Maltonator[/MENTION] thanks for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Maltonator:
Exactly.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] aldoblaga:
A tip for everybody - any tweak you make remember to let the kernel settle in after that for a period of at least 24hrs before seeing any improvement or not.

I increased my min clocks.to 832mongoose and 650 apollo.aand lowered max clocks.to 1.87ghz mongoose and 1.37ghz apollo.and so far...amazing!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bravopicasso:
Awesome, I will do the same, thanks for your work and helping the noobs like me. Edge or flat :D ? % Brightness ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] aldoblaga:
Sure thing...just thought i d leave an update.

ps - i ll leave full stats after i m at 5% battery
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] donky kong 017:
How do you do that. That's unbelievable. I tried so many things now. Amplify. Greenify. Powernap. Battery threads for tips. Different roms and kernels. With different profiles and settings and there is no way in this world that I could get such results.

Today was a pretty normal day with usage I would have every day.

So far its not that good as it was on the weekend. I guess because if the data connection compared to pretty much always wifi at home.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] aldoblaga:
I see you re on note 7? Well...s7 edge has smaller screen...bigger battery...and also it.comes down to how you use the phone. I m mostly.on wifi and indoors.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] donky kong 017:
No actually i have the s7e with renovate note 7 port.

Does the WiFi make so much difference? I see it's 3% used by cell for you and 7% for me. I guess that's %of total use. So that's not much of a difference.

Edit :

I try to save battery on my phone as much as i can without loosing functions that I need and want to use.

I don't have that much knowledge of the wake lock thing and all that, but for my taste it's woken way too often when I don't use my phone. But i was not able for now to find apps that behave strange.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] aldoblaga:
Oh my bad..well maybe the note 7 port rom is the problem..causing wakelocks all over the place because it s not meant for the s7 :) did u think about that? Try to go to a regular s7 rom and work up from there...

[MENTION=6207443]Maltonator[/MENTION] [MENTION=6871290]bravopicasso[/MENTION]

[MENTION=6207443]Maltonator[/MENTION] i use tekxnesis...before i used darthstalker on my note 5...also used stock..but always will use roms made for my phone..not ports.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] -Zork-:
Must try. thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] donky kong 017:
Thanks. I think I will stay on the port til 7 comes out. I saw others with renovate getting sot like you do. Maybe I try to find more warlocks that are all over the place, because it's very possible that it is Android system that holds everything awake.

How is texnesis in your opinion. Have often looked at the thread but never installed it though. What do you say is better in a rom when it comes to battery life? Do more features impact the battery, is heavily debloating making a difference?

And is this brightness controller baked in the rom or can I get that somewhere?

Thats one thing that bugged me the most on the S7 that the adaptive brightness is handled differently. On the S6 you could have had automatic brightness set but set it down with the slider, so it would adjust from that base value from now on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] aldoblaga:
Well most important in a rom is basic functionality, stability and only in last place features. I usually like my roms as close to stock as possible because i know there will be virtually no chances for other bugs than the regular rom has, to appear.

It s really a matter of taste...this rom business...but i rely on my phone heavily and want it to function perfectly with great batt life, consistent performance and no compromise on it s main features.

For example i don t use AOD or Edge display at all...but i do use smart alert and other cool tricks baked into the rom.

As far as debloating...i only disabled what samsung lets you disable, and just looked at what s using too much ram and started from there.

A tip for everyone - reboot your phone every 3-4 days and you ll be in love with it again :)))

Cheers ????

Lux dash - you can download it and learn to use it - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vito.lux

I ll leave a link.with what i disabled and an update on batt performance so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] aldoblaga:
So i ll be hitting the charger soon...will make another screenshot at 1%...but i kind of conclude my batt test and here are all the stats for you nerds like me out there :))

And there we are...1%. Time to hit the charger :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Galactus:
Will this kernel work with Stock APC8 firmware? It's by far the best firmware for battery life. None of the new ROM's based on newer firmware perform as well as any ROM based on APC8
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] aldoblaga:
Why don t u try it ? I m sure it ll work if it s not a port.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mj084:
But APC8 has imo older GPU drivers
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] aldoblaga:
Doesn t matter...as for example prometheus 1.4 updates the drivers...the only problem after you flash new gpu drivers is that if you want to use stock kernel it won t work and you have to flash the rom again from scratch.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] wil123:
Yes it will work!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Galactus:
Cheers, I'll give it a go in a few days. I'm very happy with battery life on APC8. 6-7 hours SOT, 4g only (No WiFi) with bluetooth connected to my fitbit all day and a few hours connected to wireless headphones as well. Standby time is typically 24 hours so curious to see how much this kernel can improve upon this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] :
One question: If I use Greenifys (or Naptimes, or ForceDozes) Aggressive Doze Mode, will the Synapse Settings be overridden? Are there any errors to be expected?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bravopicasso:
Edge or flat ? Pretty good for flat
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] donky kong 017:
Good question. Was asking me to same thing
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Galactus:
Edge

Edit: Installed the kernel, device integrity failed. Had to wipe the device o.O

Luckily I backed up with FlashFire just in case
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] :
No matter what I try I only get about 4 hours of SOT. Which Roms are u using with this amazing battery life?

I really think of going back to stock rom because battery life was better

If I want to revert back to the stock apc8 kernel.

Can I just flash the kernel on my phone without data loss? I have backed the stock kernel up with rashr.

I'm on stock rooted apc8 firmware with twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Maltonator:
Yes but do a full backup. As an alternative you can flash the rom again. Kernel is included in Rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] nooby1411:
I have heard somewhere that the gpu drivers will be updated after you flash prometheus will that be a problem if i reflash the stock kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Emenaria:
Is this kernel incompatible with Systemless Xposed Framework?

I currently use Superman ROM. I flashed Prometheus Kernel v1.4, and reflashed Systemless Xposed v86.2 and SuperSU v2.78 but then I got a bootloop...

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Maltonator:
I don't know much about the systemless stuff, but I installed the normal xposed framework taken out of the official xposed thread and this works together with prometheus. Btw I'm on efficient rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Emenaria:
Thanks for the info. I flashed Prometheus Kernel v1.7.2 and it works fine. Now I have Superman ROM v1. 14.5 with Systemless Xposed v86.2, SuperSU v2.78 and Prometheus Kernel v1.7.2. But it's kinda shame that v1.4 can't be used because according to OP it's the best version.

Sent from my SM-G935F
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mj084:
Why it's kinda shame?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Emenaria:
Because according to aldoblaga, v1.4 is the most stable and has the best balance of battery and performance.

Sent from my SM-G935F
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mj084:
Most stable haha, and he has it trimmed for max battery life yes, but smoothness of UI can't be good...

He couldn't reach those benchmarkscores he has posted here before! He underclocked cpu too, so no way to reach 150k in Antutu or similar...

And yes, with updated Kernel versions u get security fixes too - more important than 2h SoT with YouTube;)

And SuperStock 1.4.5 is stable too and based on latest sources...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Galactus:
To be honest all you need is to flash APC8 firmware and you can get great SOT. No need to tweak any kernel.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bleros:
You can install in any rom you want or build including new BPIF momentaly i run BPHJ its all about BOOTLOADER that wont let you boot with 1.4 prometheus kernel, because is builded with old APG source, So if you want to use Prometheus 1.4 kernel in any rom flash APG3 Bootloader from the link below.

Open Odin download from here

Bootloader S7 Flat Download here

Bootloader S7 Edge Download here

Put in download mode

Select BL that you downloaded

Click start

Flash kernel from recovery

If u stuck wipe cache /dalvik

You wont have any problem flashing old bootloader

Thats all enjoy Prometheus 1.4 in any ROM

Thanks me later
