[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] SlipMat:
Hi All

I am hoping someone can help... I have the Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F / 6.0.1 / UK / EE) and have come up with an issue.

I use Cerberus Apps in case my phone is lost - you are able to install this into the system to avoid someone wiping the phone and removing the software. To do this the phone must be rooted and then I usually use Link2SD to transfer the app to make it a system app. This has always worked on my old phones - but alas not this time.

The problem is that the system partition (4Gb) is full!! I have deleted all the language packs to try and clear some space - but it is still full! Strangely enough I also uninstalled an "Amazon" app which was listed as being a system app and quite large (from memory I think it was just under 100Mb)... but when I removed it and rebooted the system partition free space remained unchanged! It's possible that Amazon was a user app and I mis-read it... but anyway - I thought that the only way to clear some space was to resize the system partition - so I installed TWRP (3.0.2), have done a complete backup (system/efs/etc) apart from \data as this showed 0Mb and "failed to mount" when I tried to back it up originally.

So, my question is - can anyone help me to free some space from the system partition to allow Cerberus App to be stored there? I did think about uninstalling the VR Gear files as I dont have a VR device and assumed I could re-load these from Google Play if needed - but I do have the Galaxy Gear watch - so decided not to remove these files in case it screwed this up. Not sure which Google Apps I can remove and re-install if needed... so if anyone knows this, then that would be a help too :)

I thought you could resize the partition in TWRP but cant find any clear details on how to do this, so thought I'd ask here before I screw the phone up :silly:

Any ideas/help greatly received.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] CurtisMJ:
TWRP doesn't support encryption so that's likely why /data won't mount. Resizing partitions is typically done via Odin with PIT files, but it's very dangerous, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Luxembourg ROMs have around 130mb free system space, so there must be a ton of carrier bloat in yours. This doesn't sound right though, it's required that there is some space for expansion. Could you run the following command in a root terminal and post the results please?

df -k | grep system
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] SlipMat:
Thanks Curtis - I left my phone at home today, so will try this tonight and post results. After deleting all the unwanted language files I have about 40Mb space free, but this still doesnt seem to be enough as when I run Link2SD and reboot the phone, Cerberus has vanished and has to be re-installed... although when it re-installs it shows it as an "update" which would indicate that it is installed already - just 'lost' ???

Will update tonight when I get a moment.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] CurtisMJ:
That's interesting actually. It seems to be indicative of permission issues. The app was successfully moved to the system, but the permissions on its files were wrong and the system refuses to load it(Link2SD's fault, essentially) . It's still acknowledged by the app manager though, which is why it can be "updated". Can you try move it with something apart from Link2SD? I recommend titanium backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] SlipMat:
Thanks Curtis - I have Titanium Backup (free version) installed already so can give it a go - I have only used it for backups (a long while ago) and have never used it to relocate an app... is it fairly self explanatory how to do it?

Will look tonight when I get in :)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] CurtisMJ:
Just tried with titanium myself and it fails in a similar manner. Seems Marshmallow is a little fiddly and Link2SD puts out a generic message when it has issues. Titanium just freezes. You'll have to do it manually ;)

First you'll need to clear the system of failed attempts. Look in the /system/app and /system/priv-app with a root Explorer for Cerberus apks or folders. Next, look in the /data/app folder and find the Cerberus folder. Take note of this path.

Next, fire up a root terminal and enter the following commands. In my case I was moving Greenify.

mount -o remount,rw /system

cp - a /data/app/com.oasisfeng.greenify-1 /system/app/Greenify

Replace the data folder with your noted path. The system path can be anything.

Then reboot and the app should be system.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] SlipMat:
Hi Curtis

Thanks for spending so much time on this.

OK, I skipped straight to the manual relocation method that you said. Whilst the app is Cerberus the APK etc is called System Framework as I have installed the 'hidden' version rather than the one which shows as Cerberus on the phone. However using OI File Manager, when I look in /system/app and /system/priv-app folders there is nothing called Cerberus or System Framework... so I am assuming that there are no orphaned APKs or other files.

But, this is where the strange thing starts, when I look in the /data/app folder, it is empty... so I am guessing I am looking in the wrong place as there are loads of apps! I am looking from home then selecting data, etc... any thoughts?

Oh, I have checked that hidden files are shown too!

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Abuzar Uzair:
i used to install the same app on my S7

please follow this guide & let me know the result.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] SlipMat:
Hi Abuzar

Thanks for the help... I tried using System Cleanup and initially it didn't work... it didn't show System Framework after cleaning up which made me think it was uninstalled properly. But when I tried to re-install it I got a message asking if I wanted to update the the built in application... so I said yes and re-checked in System Cleanup and it was visible, so I tried uninstalling it and after a couple of attempts it succeeded.

Then I re-installed and it installed it as a new app and it was visible in System Cleanup as installed in /data. So, I moved it to /system and configured it. It now lists in System Cleanup as being installed [MENTION=225403]auto[/MENTION] system+data... so I am assuming it has installed properly... but not 100% sure as it lists some of it in data - so not sure if after a reset it will wipe the user profile from Cerberus or not.

I took a backup in TWRP and thought I would do a factory reset and test it... but on the S7 using factory reset in O/S it asks for my samsung password etc so looks like it may delete my Samsung/Google account's so didn't proceed as I didn't want to delete any online info. So... I tried factory wipe in TWRP but it just said failed "could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer" and a few more "failed to mount /data" errors... so I gave up and will have to assume its installed properly as a system app :)

Thanks for all your help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] CurtisMJ:
Just as a final note, the system+data combo sounds normal. Under regular conditions, the system partition is read only, so in order to install any updates to system apps, Android actually installs them as data apps, but cross-references them to system apps and gives them the relevant permissions. You can remove the data part by selecting "Uninstall Updates" in the app info page.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] annoyingduck:
I'm running Clark stock 6.0 build MPH24.49-18/unlocked/rooted/xposed on Verizon. Build is fine, was fastboot installed direct from Moto's firmware package back in September and has been running flawlessly. All of a sudden I'm not able to receive any MMS messages. My primary SMS app is Signal so I tried Google Messenger and the stock messenger app and all of them are failing to download any MMS. This just started happening a couple weeks ago. I'm not convinced that this is a rom or any customization that I may have done issue, I think it's purely something with Verizon or maybe an APN issue? It's just weird that this just started happening out of the blue. Before I contact Verizon I figured I'd ask here if anyone has come across this.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitti2:
I'm on Verizon n no problems.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason2678:
Had this happen once about a year ago on the stock rom too. I hadn't made any major changes and the phone stopped receiving MMS. It had been working fine for at least a month prior. On AT&Ts network for me.

Restoring a nandroid backup fixed it, but I never did actually figure out what went wrong.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] annoyingduck:
So the backup restore fixed it...? So strange. Now I must figure out what is causing this.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason2678:
I was rooted with a custom kernel, but had been for weeks with no problems. Then mms just quit working.

Didn't do much troubleshooting, sorry. Restoring the backup fixed it and it's never happened again. Could be a coincidence, but sounds just like what you described.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ds217:
I've had this happen a few times, a power off reboot usually fixes it. Verizon, true pure x. I've been to stubborn to reload to see if it fixes it permanently.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] annoyingduck:
SOLVED

The issue is with the APN settings. 2 Lines were incorrect:

-MMS Port was set to "not set", it needed to be "80"

-APN Type was set to "default,dun,supl", it needed to be "default,dun,supl,mms"

Very strange that these configurations magically changed themselves. What's even funnier is that Verizon customer service told me that the issue is that it's a non-Verizon phone and the only thing they could recommend was a factory reset and/or a new sim card. They also would not give me the correct APN's, they said some nonsense about that information being unavailable to them. So Google fixed this issue for me. FU Verizon.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuantumFluxx:
I have had mixed luck with different APN settings. The above worked for me for a while, and then inexplicably stopped. I tried a bunch of different configurations before sticking with the settings in the attached screenshot. These settings worked for me on Marshmallow and continue to work on Nougat (7.1.1). These are also the settings that appear after resetting my network settings from the Mobile Networks menu. I hope this can help someone out.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fanboys3:
I would be really interested in a d2refreshspr build to play with on my Triband for this rom. Thanks and keep up the great work guys. Oct-M still working great.

Edit: For anyone with the L710T, this rom is buggy, but can work (use at your own peril, it's not recommended and I've noticed data can randomly drop in latest builds)

Method I used:

1) Flash this rom.

2) Flash Modem Symlink Fix [MENTION=7392566]naterza[/MENTION] linked to in this thread.

3) If it borks out, you should still be able to flash it over with latest stable PacRom for D2SPR + symlink fix to get it back.

(It fixed broken 4G when I was testing a bork nightly that had me semi-bricked)

4) If you ever hard brick, you can use Odin and revert to stock with ALL_SPT_L710TVPU0ANF4_L710TSPT0ANF4_1683363_REV00_ user_low_ship.tar.md5

(Hat Tip to [MENTION=6762848]FNetV1[/MENTION] for the tip.

Pro-Tip: As many know, Walmart/VM Data Done Right plan is now gone. Unlike what the VM rep tells you initially, you can migrate you're phone to the VM Data Love plan by calling into VM USA from an outside phone. You have to be on stock for the migration, and takes around 45 minutes for the rep to do their job - but it works fine.

Running the weekly build, as good if not better than the last cm nougat nightly before things went belly up. Only problem thus far is that my super su is all sorts of broken so using the built in su manager in dev settings. Might need to reinstall to fix that issue but other than that, thanks for keeping this phone up to date! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] avd:
going to take a shot since my phone crashed hard under AICP and the million stupid modifications I have done. Wish me luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clearchris:
I stopped using SuperSU when android added native support. What feature in particular are you looking for when you install SuperSU?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clearchris:
Depending on what you have done, you might want to consider also wiping system when you install clean.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Seguraf13:
I was just trying to use it for the security updates it can receive and for the nicer management of su permissions. I can still use the built in one fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] avd:
Tried to wipe everything with TWRP, but my media is still on board. In any case, running beautiful. Thanks for keeping this phone alive.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wayne-of3:

Finally back in the game. Can't wait to try this out. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clearchris:
I'm going to take a look, but no promises. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clearchris:
The new build is up, everyone is strongly encouraged to upgrade. This is the last verision of 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 won't be released by us for a while.

The issue is that early issue snapdragon chip has a neon flaw that causes problems in boringssl. We added patches to recognize these flawed chips and to not use the neon optimizations on them. All lineage based roms had this issue. I helped them fix it upstream, so it should flow down to the other ROMs quickly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wayne-of3:
Just flashed 4/28 nightly. 7.1.2 working fine so far!:svetius:

im not getting any sound, I'm on sph-L710T flashed Rom than gapps . Using twrp thanks

Also I'm not able to odin back to ndc nd8. I get an error in odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clearchris:
Hi. Going to need you to be more specific here.

Getting any sound on calls?

Getting any sound on bluetooth?

Getting any sound from headphone jack?

Getting any sound from speakerphone?

Is your volume turned up all the way?

Have you upgraded to the latest version of twrp? There was a new version released in the past two months.

Did you clean flash? Dirty flash? From what ROM and version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] allrockedout:
No sound at all, I was on stock ndc, flashed twrp 3.1.0. Than flashed this Rom with gapps. Also tried flashing c.f. auto root from an old forum I think it failed. Than flashed like a couple other roms cm14. Still no sound on any Rom. Can't flash back to stock in Odin getting pit file error and slb2 error in Odin and in download mode.

Wiped everything clean flash.

Tried flashing ndc nd8 pj2 in Odin all fail
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
You're on the triband S3. This is not for triband. Neither is ndc, or nd8. You have to Odin nf4 or oa3 or another triband .tar file.

I don't see how you were on ndc if you have sph-L710t?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] allrockedout:
I'm on the boost mobile s3 sph-L710T

So I believe the ndc is the correct tar

or am i supposed to be on NF4 so confused cause i had a sprint s3 at one time now i have a boost mobile s3

K I figured it out I'm supposed to flash OH1 firmware flashing now all is good
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clearchris:
Please do not use chainfire supersu. You can flash the lineage root linked in the OP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] allrockedout:
I'm on sph-L710T OH1 firmware how would I flash this working?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
There are 2 different boost s3's, the regular (the same as the Sprint one you said you used to have) and the triband (the one you have now). Most of these ROMs will not work on the triband. Octos had a ROM for the triband on lollipop (triband is referred to as d2 refresh).

Some have said normal S3 ROMs will work if you also use the modem-firmware fix .zip. You can find it here in the forums, no guarantees it will work. I don't have the triband and have never tried.

here is the modem-firmware fix. Sniffed it out for ya.

Oh, looks like the link may be dead. Maybe someone has a copy somewhere.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clearchris:
Good catch, it's the dreaded refresh.

Yes, I have had reports of d2spr working on d2refreshspr if you flash d2spr TWRP then flash the ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] allrockedout:
All good man I'll just stay stock, not using for daily just to mess with.

Kernel?

I have two questions.

1) what is there to be gained by installing a kernel? What kernels are compatible with this rom.

2) I have searched but have yet to find how to get rid of my stuck voice mail notification. (boost mobile) The sprint vvm does not show a voicemail. and when I call the voicemail it says no messages.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clearchris:
1) Instability. Don't like how stable octos is? Try a new kernel! For bonus points, report the bugs that occur without telling me you are running a custom kernel. ;)

2) Go into phone app. There are four tabs near the top. One has a tape reel-to-reel icon. Click it and delete your messages.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 1972442:
Ok cool Ill pass on the kernel. Oct os is very good. Im very happy with it. Thank you.

I only have 3 tabs in the phone app star (favorites), clock (call log) and people (contacts). Am I possibly looking in the wrong place or using a different phone app? Something boost imposes or an app that loads from google when I restore the apps?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clearchris:
I think you have to turn on visual voicemail, but I don't remember how to turn on visual voicemail at the moment. I'll take a fresh look in the morning.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] solnoy:
how long does it take on first boot? i guess mine was stuck any solution for this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clearchris:
It takes an excruciatingly long time for first boot. There was a change in how the apps are pre-processed by the system. It will be worse if you have a lot of apps installed. ROM + gapps only can easily take 15 minutes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] solnoy:
i download the full gapps maybe thats the problem what do you recommend gapps for me then?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clearchris:
Well, I don't think gapps full will even install, there just isn't enough room on /system.

I use mini, works great, any other gapps you want can be downloaded from the play store.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] solnoy:
i redownload again the rom and gapp pico still stuck at first boot 30mins past already
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] demonseedxp:
Has anyone uncovered a solution for the boost mobile devices to restore the cellular network state?

I've tried the suggested apn.r2/dirty flash, and that seems to of restored the carrier to boost, and shows the service state "in Service" for voice and data, the network state remains disconnected.

I even went as far as rolling back to 6.0.1 in hopes of it fixing itself, but that to yielded the same results. grr

After digging through these threads I saw reports of some getting it working, but I'm not understanding what they've done that I didn't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
If you've done an additional dirty flash of ROM only after fully booting up (after initial flash of ROM gapps and boost apn fix r2), and still don't have data... I would try a clean setup again. And of course you are sure you don't have the triband?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] demonseedxp:
yep, I've done all of that. it's worse than no data tho, I've got no network service whatsoever. voice or data. in the sim settings it shows green across the board all the way down the list until you get to network state, which says disconnected. when trying to place a call it says the device cannot be verified, and the ##code does nothing.

This is a friends device, and I've worked on it before, and had issues then also. Only then the voice did work and it was data I had issues with. It was only after I had given up and returned the phone that someone piped up and clued me in about the apn fix. SO I decided to give it another go, and currently I'm wishing I would've just said no.

Now I cant even factory reset because for some reason the oden onclick is erroring out with a md5 checksum error. Panic is starting to set in...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
An md5 error likely means a bad download. Try regular Odin (not one click) with ndc. You might want to check the model number on that phone one more time and make sure there's no "t" on the end. Boost sold alot of those bad boys.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 1972442:
Ive Just installed the new 5-12 update. When it first booted the screens were 5 Icons across not4. the middle button in the soft keys was different. You could swipe up from the bottom to get to all apps but my google services was not working. there was some sort of google button at the top. I downloaded the newest gaaps mini and installed it to fix the play services issue and Now Im back to my old layout. (4 across ect). I liked the look of the new one and would like to explore that. How do I go about that?

I also have the boost stuck voicemail Icon/message still. I have the sprint VVM ap working but it shows no voicemails.

Thank You.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clearchris:
Every upgrade you must re-install opengapps. You must also re-install root if required.

The decision was made (before me) that system gets wiped on each octos install.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 1972442:
I was surprised that the layout had changed I thought it was a new feature of OctOs. It looked nice. But then I installed Gapps and it reverted back to my old layout. Ah well.

I do really like OctOs. Its pretty impressive that this old phone can run new software.
