Wow, you're getting 6.5 hrs of SOT rooted!? :good: Impressive.

What settings (tweaks) are you using again?

Gaming mode but I deleted the game store and toolbox app, other than that just delete as much garbage bloat as you can. I'm not running any kernel controller either, just running it right out of the box and it's great!

I'm running default mode now on 4K and I changed the DPI via ADB to 534 and that puts it to true 4k. Everything is kinda small but damn I was looking at some 4k wallpapers and it's just mind blowing..... Lol

EDIT: If you try to change the DPI in system/build.prop that method doesn't work anymore. I know there's a settings in developer options to change something to do with the screen width but it's just not the same as changing the whole systems DPI/PPI via ADB. There's a guide on here, just search s7edge DPI.

GRooted my G935 everything runs perfect except one thing, GearVR. It lags every 5 secs or so when watching videos on MilkVR, games seem to lag but not as much, and the whole experience does not seem as smooth as when it was unrooted. A video won't even start right away in MilkVR, I have to start it about 3 times to get it going and when it does theres lag every 5 secs or so.

Is there any type of tweaks or changes I can do to prevent this... I really do not want to go back to a stock rom. Thanks

So, if I have to revert to stock 7.0, do I have to select all the four files in ODIN:

CSC - HOME_CSC (to preserve the data)

Or, just CSC with only HOME_CSC (to preserve data) and don't load other three files?

My wifi still isn't saving passwords even after editing the build prop.. anyone know what might be wrong?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Flames97:
You are on the right track.

At first I rooted using the OTA update and it was too laggy. I then used Samsung Smart Switch to flash a clean nougat build on my s7 edge. I then rerooted and everything is much smoother
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
This isn't a suggestion, but a question. Did you apply the TMO VoLTE icon fix? It appears to break unrelated things, such as bluetooth.

I haven't applied it, and my phone is saving WiFi passwords just fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Cm4nXD:
Ok. So everything was going great when I first rooted. But a couple days ago it's been saving all my sms messages to my sim card, and then my sim card fills up and I can't receive messages until I manually move them to internal storage in the message apps settings... the setting for it is under manage sim messages in the message app. I can't figure out how to fix this, I've been messing with it, googling solution nothing works. Do I need to refresh MM OTA upgrade to N the reroot cuz that's the only thing I hang done...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] sparky2029:
Yes I did. But since I'm always using my Bluetooth I decided to factory reset from within the phone and when I re-rooted it never came back for some reason
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] cruel91:
I just figured out that you can flash the zip v3 and go ahead change ro.securestorage.support to true in build.prop. Your bluetooth will be fine but your wifi is not be able to reconnect everytime you restart your phone

update: just use the latest v4. It wont break your bluetooth and wifi

I just figure actually the ro.securestorage.support = false in buils.prop causes the problem

This one fixes bluetooth and wifi still functions just fine

So I haven't tried root since I got the my T-Mobile s7 Edge. I've spent alot of time reading through threads and most recently this one and I'm still a little weary of flashing. I guess I'm just stuck in my old school ways of flashing.. you know the ODIN>SU>TWRP>Busybox>ROM> etc... As of late I've watched and read this thread and I think I just got a little intimidated.. Not sure if it's the comments left by the folks with other devices outside of T-mobile or this process overall is just a little intense.. Could just be my own fear.. However I jumped off the ledge recently and I keep getting stuck at the whole pushing the files through CMD. I'm missing something. I must be.. Anyhow. I'll revert back to noob status and watch this thread closely for a more simple way to get this done.. Not as adventurous as I used to be I guess. But wanted to genuinely thank everyone on this particular thread for all of your help and information regarding root.. This community is awesome and what XDA is all about. Thanks folks! Sorry for me babbling my insecurity issues.. LOL!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] h1n1viruz:
With the cmd I didn't have to type anything I unzipped everything needed into a folder just for this s7 root. The guide I followed said just double click the root bat file. And have your phone connected. Once it detects the phone it will push all the files in, and reboot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] sabresfan:
If your stuck on the pushing of files make sure you have USB debugging enabled in developers settings and have adb installed. This root method is very easy compared to some other phones I've owned in the past. I have the files on my desktop. Open the file that the root files are in. Shift and right click to open a command prompt here. Then type root.bat and let it do its thing. Be patient and I've kept my phone screen on during this and it seems to help me anyway. Good Luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] infinite012:
I have a Samsung S7 (non-edge) that I just rooted using this method. Root was achieved, but I tried to install the VoLTE fixes, but they either don't work at all or cause constant "IMS Service has stopped" popups. This makes it damn near impossible to use the phone since that popup is constantly on. Anybody have a fix or the original imsservice files?

Hey, thanks for this...I'm looking forward to applying it. I hate that hurricane icon!

Sorry to ask, but how *exactly* does one apply this? I just really don't know the step-by-step to applying your patch. There are a lot of files in the .zip and I'm not sure if they all need to get added, or just some.

Do you use Odin to copy them? Or ADB? Please list some steps...thank you!

Thank goodness. When I read this post I felt a lot better about my battery drain. Coming from Rooted MM and after everything smoothed out, I was getting close to 24 hours on a full battery.

But after using the OTA to Nougat and rooting the phone with this procedure, after a few days, I was getting upset that my battery was only lasting around 6-8 hours.

Now that I know that it is normal for 6-8 hours battery life, I can live with it as I would rather be rooted than Non-Rooted.

Thank you for your post and it helps to know I am not the only one.

i want to unroot my device, i currently have the device in download mode, and latest odin,

i downloaded the right files for my 930a

It did its thing but at the end said it failed.

now when i booted it just says something went wrong, use the pc smart switch software

I'm just wanting to go back to stock nougat

ok so it just passed again, i switched usb cables, and now it booted into recovery and now its booting up normal
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] RainGater:
Ok, went back to stock as the Eng kernel lags sometimes even after clean flashing Nougat and wiping the cache and dalvik/cache. And, there are at times when the home screen freezes for a second or two as I believe Eng kernel is NOT for the mainstream yet :(

Anyways, ODIN'ed back to Noguat with HOME_CSC so that I didn't have to start from scratch again. Luckily, all the system apps that I froze with TItanium still remained as disabled even when root is NOT there anymore. Wifi passwords get saved properly and no more stupid VOLTE/hurricane icons any more... Bluetooth works and back to normal.

Also, the Custom tag disappeared when rebooting the device and the build status says it's OFFICIAL now. All good :)

Mine was doing the same thing. I already had root essentials on my phone so every time I clicked the message to go away I navigated to it after clicking the message away every 2 seconds and I found ims service and uninstalled it. All it said was ims service. I still have a few things on here that have to do with ims service but the one that just said that worked for me

Have you tried clearing the data for it in the application manager?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] lostpilot28:
Well, I would think freezing the service in Titanium Backup would do the same thing. I backed up all the IMS stuff...then uninstalled it, and that finally got rid of the popup.

I hope someone comes out with a method to root that is more stable and refined. Root is great, but not at the expense of usability. I'm going to use my phone for a few days and see how it does while rooted, now that I have the hurricane icon removed and the IMS message gone. Hopefully it proves stable, because I'd like to keep it.

I disabled all that was suggested to in the OP as well and I must say I haven't noticed anything out of wack yet..

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] RainGater:
Folks, my 2 cents: Root is not ready for S7 Edge as Eng kernel is not for mainstream yet.

As much as I hate to give up root, the performance is not really worth the trouble, IMO. Luckily, we have Package Disabler Pro to fill the void.

After I went back to stock, the phone feels very fluid and no lag whatsoever and everything feels great again. Maybe, it has to do with my struggles with root and now it feels like the device is reborn :)

Btw, all the hard work, by lot of folks, to get root has to be truly appreciated. Keep up the great work and hopefully, we get a real kernel that gets us the root and Sammy unlocks the bootloader... At least, that's the hope ;)

Sorry about all the VOLTE Icon problems

If your having FC issues your going to have to copy the original imsservice folder with imsservice.apk and oat folder to system/priv-app before you can flash this fix

This new zip should fix fc problems as no apk is replaced no more just the icons are replaced inside the apk

Volte Icon Fix Is now one zip for all S7 Variants. No more flashing wrong zip and getting FC. The zip only replaces Icons in imsservice apk. This zip will work on odex or deodex roms

S7_VOLTE_ICON_FIX_ALL_VARIANTS.zip

Question, for any and all:

What features of 7.0 N is keeping you attached to it? If MM has Xposed why are you sticking to 7.0? Just asking as I JUST got a S7 G930T. I flashed with root, experience some lag... just want to know if dropping down to MM is worth it. TY
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] RainGater:
Lots of new features were introduced and you can read it below. If I were you, I would just get to N in a heart beat even though root is not mature yet. Btw, I will not root it as there are lags even after clean flashing, wiping data/dalvik. The lag is minimal but there are at times it becomes unresponsive. And, there are wifi/bluetooth issues for a few users and strange icons in status bar.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
I haven't noticed the that much - every once in a while perhaps, but not enough to drop root over. It was a lot worse on my old phone, so maybe I have lower standards.

What I have noticed is that battery life isn't quite as good, though to be honest, it was a bit disappointing on stock. I imagined a battery a full 1000mAh fatter than my old phone doing a bit better in that department.

Also, and I'm not sure if this was Nougat or root, but the lights under the capacitive buttons no longer come on. Given I have a black device, that makes them hard to see, so I have learned to swipe across from the home button when I need to use one. Mildly aggravating, but nothing major.

If you need or really want xposed, then I would stay with MM. I personally don't need xposed, just want it to block YouTube ads, so it's not that big of a deal for me. Just depends on you.

For me personally I seem to be getting better battery life, less lag, never gets hot and the boot time is a lot quicker compared to rooted MM. This is just my experience so far. I have not done anything different that from the basic tutorial for rooting. Though I did not get rid of the "hurricane" icon at the top.
