I don't mean to sound ignorant, but I've never knew it had that functionality.

So you're saying the data connection - say 3G if you have it available, will drop the connection after a set period of time if it's not used?

I've never known it to be any other way, and have always expected the data connection to stay active (unless I've restarted the device and it hasn't connected for the first time).

Do other roms drop like you're expecting?

I need to get out more :rolleyes:

Hello, I was searching the forum and Google and didn't really find much.

I was wondering if the S7E had the ability to dual boot Roms? The goal for me is to have a N7 port on another slot than my standard rom that I'm running. I have a 935F.

Any help on this would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Perfectdevil:
+1....but i don't think will have such thing thanks to exynos chip

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Heavens:
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I recall being able to do it on my Nexus. I also believe my s5 had the option. It's been awhile though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Perfectdevil:
me too i had this on my nexus 5.zperia z2 and even xiaomi redmi note 3 Pro but they all have in common a Qualcomm snapdragon chips

- tapatalked - from my VANTABLACK S7 EDGE
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Heavens:
Yeah, too bad you can't do anything with the snapdragon on the S7E. I started out with a snapdragon, got so angry with it and traded it out for the 935F.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Heavens:
I also have exynos now. Nothing was "wrong" with it. I had a locked bootloader which limited the things I wanted to do. Trying to make Roms work the way I wanted was a PITA. Hence why I switched.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sa3d12:
Dual boot is possible with Dual Boot Patcher on note 5 which I had before S7E , so that means it is possible for exynos chips but I don't know if our S7E is compatible with this app, as I decided not to root this time .

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Heavens:
I'll test it out now and report back.

Thanks for the find!

Update: As of right now I cannot get it working. I get it to say "Switching rom" and then the rom stays the same. I will continue testing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Heavens:
So, I tested it out and I was not able to get it to work. My initial problem was that aroma installers were not supported. I tried both TWRP and in app flashing. The error logs stated it failed to update the binary. I'm not a dev, nor do I pretend to be one so I have no idea how to fix that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sa3d12:
To get it working our device model must be supported and on the list of supported devices included in the app which I guess is not but is possible with some dev help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Heavens:
It is on the list of supported devices actually. That's why I was hopeful. Everything goes like it should, but when you switch to the rom nothing happens. Or you get it to say "Switched roms" and you are on the same rom. The dir isn't populated with the boot.img either so you can't manually flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Perfectdevil:
i think it need a kernel that support dual boot

- tapatalked - from my VANTABLACK S7 EDGE
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Heavens:
Could be. I just updated my BL and CP, so I'm going to test again and see how it goes. I'm not aware of any 935F kernels that support dual boot though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sa3d12:
When I had the note 5 N920c some roms were successfully booting as a secondary rom and some perhaps most didn't because of twrp recovery, but there were moded twrps which solved these problems.

As I decided not to root then I don't know if there's a work around for S7E or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Heavens:
Thanks for the info. I'll probably keep testing and see what I get.

Just a update guys that chenxiaolong updated the Repo and built a recent build.

I have Dual boot working on my S7 Edge. booting two different Roms.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] -triskal-:
dave7802, Sorry from being new... but can you explain your statement? I'm an iphone user that is looking to switch to android, and I'm thinking of buying an S7 Edge. I want to be able to dual boot it. Sounds like you were able to get it working, but would you be able to help me understand how? Sorry totally new to this whole idea of ROMs and dual booting. I just want to make sure the phone I'm about to buy is going to be able to be dual-booted. I'm in North America, and I read on a different thread that the NA phones are not BL unlocked.. is that going to be a problem?

Sorry to ask so many wide open questions, but you are the first person that I have seen to confirm dual booting of an S7 Edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dave7802:
It will depend if its EXYNOS

If so you should be okay, If its Snapdragon then its locked and there is limited support.

The dual booter Patcher app, Bascailly allows you to installed selected ROM's in the Internal or External Memory.

And from within the App you select your Current ROM, Upon restarting the device will boot into the addtional ROM.

Now chenxiaolong is updating to Support android 7.0 And the dual booting is newly supported for the S7 Edge so it may be some time before its perfect

But keep in mind that the Root method Magisk is also bringing a Universal Dual boot so this may be another option.

CM builds are not yet created for this device, So it is only Stock ROMS you can dial boot
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] -triskal-:
Thanks this is really helpful. Based on what I found online about the Snapdragon distribution, the US 100% snapdragon, so I think I'm going to pass on this brand/model. Any other recommendations for devices? I'm thinking the Google Pixel, or the 1plus3T. They are both really new phones, so I'm guessing they wouldn't be supported. So new to all this, my head is spinning.

You must use data slot or ext sd slot or it wont work
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] :
If you are having problem with the app you could always just reboot into TWRP and flash the patched ROM Manually :good:

Im currently on ProjectDream S8+ Port as my main ROM but do have Lineage as my secondary and MIUI as a data slot.

However to get the app working i had to change my buildprop back to hero2lte as it was changed to dream2lte because of the port.

If you have problems with secondary use "Dataslot" instead just select Dataslot then type in a name relating the rom it doesnt matter what but if you want to update the kernel or flash magisk etc then patch the mod with the same Dataslot name you named that ROM.

A few things to note you cant use the in app flasher with Roms that flash with Aroma installer. These ROMs you have to flash manually after patching them :)

make sure to download Dualbootutilities incase you get yourself into a bootloop etc and want to swap back to the primary Rom.

Just flash Dualbootutilities in TWRP and change back to Primary and reboot if that happens :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] pesaroso:
Thank you so much for your answer! :)

So if I patch the zip-file using the app, can I just flash it as a normal .zip-file in TWRP? As long as I selected i.e. "Secondary" from the app, TWRP will know where to install the zip, I don't have to enter any advanced options in TWRP or something?

thanks for the reply, i started from first and now it works(i flashed stock coz its bit messed up, even i cant go into recovery), for samsung galaxy s7e you must choose dataslot, selecting system/cache is not working(it flashes but second rom fails to boot).now i booted nougat as primary, marshmellow as secondary and appsharing is amazing too, it allows data of whatsapp,calls,messages and more to be shared.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epicdude7623:
So a while back I tried to root my HTC one m8 and it failed and I now can't get past the boot screen, it just stays there and doesn't go through its animation thing or anything. I have tried factory resetting it trough recovery mode which reset the developer mode settings. I've tried flashing back, no luck because of stupid s-on that Verizon put on there, I've tried everything and it still doesn't work. Maybe now with nougat coming out the htc one m8 is finalized and no more updates will be pushed to it. Also one more thing, this doesn't have the warranty and is all paid off so it's mine to mess with. It still does show the battery animation and shows LED, notification in windows when plugged in, and I can still get into recovery mode.

So I did that, I just got a stock RUU from this topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2727831 and it took a while to load it but when I boot it still doesn't boot into android.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You don't need debugging on for RUU. Debugging is only needed for adb; not needed for fastboot (which RUU uses fastboot).

Meaning what? This actually doesn't tell us anything about what you tried, or what the issue may be. Problems with fastboot are almost always either a faulty cable, or some incompatibility issue with the PC (Windows version, USB ports 2.0 versus 3.0).

The SD card method is a nice workaround. But you really should have a working fastboot environment, for doing any mods on this phone, troubleshooting, etc.

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------

How exactly are you trying to root?

All factory reset does, is wipe user data, it doesn't actually restore or revert any other partitions.

This phone is almost definitely done with official updates, regardless of the fact that Nougat is coming. But I don't understand the relevance to your situation?
[Alcatel Idol 4S Themes, Apps, and Mods] RochaRocha:
Hi Guys, this info is already @ xda, but wanted to post it here for who wants to try.

If you dont use vr much and want to try fhd instead of qhd (some ppl has the opinion that qhd is only noticeable on VR, not my opinion tho)

here are 2 quick and simple steps :

1 - Connect phone to pc (install drivers and adb if you dont have them and enable usb debugging in android dev options)

2- Open command window and type :

"adb shell wm size 1080x1920"

then type :

"adb shell wm density 401"

Then restart android:

"abd reboot"

Thats it, you can try diferent density values ,I tryed 360, 390, the smaller the value is the smaller the text and icons will be, so better check all apps and system to be sure they look ok.

I dont think changing to 1080 will give more noticeable battery or performance because the 652 is already a powerfull and balanced processor, but Its up to you to try and find out ;).

Issues I'm running into is with ChompSMS, it has issues receiving MMS. I tired changing the settings from Legacy to System but still won't work.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] androiddiego:
I've been using it for one day now. I am running a completely stock unrooted V20. I'm not a power user, so I'm not running a lot of apps that have ads. I did test it on all of the apps I have that run ads and it seems to be about 95% effective. This is great for unrooted users!

As far as battery life goes, I let it sit for about 5 hours with all apps closed and greenified. It was still at 100% 5 hours later. The day went on and I mostly just took some pictures and did minor amount of web browsing. It's now been about 10 hours since charged and I'm at 93%. App info in settings says this app has 0% battery usage since last charge. It looks to me that if you aren't using any apps that have ads it won't drain the battery. That's good news if you are worried about battery drain in standby or while not using apps with ads battery life seems normal. If you are worried about battery drain while using apps that have ads, then you have a choice, see the ads and preserve battery, or don't see the ads and charge more often. I can't confirm at this point if drain is higher with it activated and actually blocking ads versus not blocking real time ads. I'll try using some apps that have ads with it activated and with it off and see if there is a difference and report back.

Using DNS66 I saw that my battery did have a noticeable amount of more battery drain. I probably had about 2-3 hours less battery - and about 1hour less SOT worth of battery.

Then I was also experiencing issues with MMS when I was using Textra - even stock messaging would not send the pictures. But it was on/off as sometimes the MMS wouldn't work Just for like 15 minutes and I just had to keep trying to send it. Then sometimes it wouldn't work for half of the day..

(Just from my experience)

In the end, I figured I'd be okay with having ads compared to those negative side effects I had on my own experience.

Get a more known/popular/used device and you won't have that problem. You can't expect serious developers and professionals to have mid-low end devices, they don't own them so they can't develop for them. With unsupported devices like yours it leaves you with 3 choices.

1) learn to modify or develop your own ROMs

2) donate a device with the same model number as yours to a developer willng to develop for it, they have to have the actual device to do the work.

3) Retire your device and get a newer more supported model.
