APK.mirror has the edge panel apk your looking for (real name is CocktailBarService.apk) along with more of the latest samsung apps available, one of my favorite site for sure!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] dandel0074:
Cool! I actually like the physical button simply because I like to use LMT and the soft keys dint go good with LMT pie.

---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

Thank you!!! I'll do a search for it. Someone on this thread posted some edge apk files but normal install or adding it to priv apps didn't work and was getting a error edge panel and force close. I'll look for the Cocktailbarservice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
Sounds good and that is the main file to install the edge app.

Create a folder in /device/system/priv-app and name it CocktailBarService and set the permissions of that folder to rwx-r-x-r-x

Put your app inside that folder and set permissions to rw-r-r reboot and done!

Just came across this!!!

Hey tbh it was a ***** to find the file for the stock one for me since i have the flat one

Updato has it but it takes a hell of a long time to download

And i have a better than average internet so if u could find a download somewhere else it would help others greatly
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] carpboy:
Araltd, speaking of....

They probably could be redone a bit. When I went back to stock it took me quite a while to figure it out. I wasn't aware I had to flash all the modules in the package, I thought just the home_csc was all that was needed. I also would move the eng download links away from that paragraph where you describe all that.

Maybe something like the paragraph (no mention of running unroot.bat is there) and associated links in a colored box or something, it seems to get lost a little bit about the edges in there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] carpboy:
Alright, haven't seen a mention of this issue yet...

Wife's flat all of a sudden lost the mic on phone calls. It worked in every other aspect, just nothing while on a call.

I didn't try a reset, I just flashed back to stock (home_csc) and it works just fine now.

She didn't complain too much of lag or battery life, but then again she isn't really aware of this stuff. She did notice camera/gallery was frustrating, which I had also seen on my edge.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] cynicaljedi:
Using this method can I:

1. Flash eng kernel and root

2. Make some apps system apps

3. Remove bloatware, etc.

4. Un root

5. Flash back to stock kernel

Is this possible to do the above without losing data and with keeping the apps I move system apps after flashing back to the stock kernel? If so will I be able to pass safetynet checks after the above are completed, use samsung pay, and keep the knox warranty intact?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] carpboy:
I don't know about the converting to system part, but the others you will be ok with. Knox will not trip and if you use the home_csc file when flashing you will keep every bit of data. All my frozen apps (via TiBU) remain frozen while unrooted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] dandel0074:
Ahhh.....ha....... I didn't see any Cocktailtailbarservice in the mirror apk site but I did see two edge panel apk and files. I tried installing them but killed my system so i had to start over. From my understanding and what I'm trying next is creating that file cocktailbarservices with your set permission and putting the two files or apk files in that folder and see what happens.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
If you touch /system, or really do anything that causes dm-verity to fail, on a stock kernel, you will trip Knox. Not sure if you care about warranty, but if that's an issue, consider it before going back to a stock kernel with a modified system partition.

That said, if all you want to do is take out bloat, there is a non-root solution. If you can buy it, Package Disabler Pro can do all of that without root, as it is a Knox certified device administrator app. The one major exception is that Samsung made them not show the software updater packages due to the Note 7 fiasco. Of course, that doesn't remove the bloat, but without root you weren't going to be using that partition anyway.

The only way I'd go to that much trouble to disable packages was if I were trying to avoid a particularly nasty carrier update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] cynicaljedi:
Thanks for the info. Software updater is one of the things I was hoping to disable. I actually have Package Disabler Pro and it does an OK job for most things. If I were to disable it but stay on the Eng kernel could I unroot and pass the various security checks (for playing games like pogo, samsung pay, etc) while leaving the update service disabled?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
I believe you can. I rooted right after installing it, but I don't believe the eng kernel by itself causes you to go "custom" and start failing Knox related checks since it is signed by Samsung.

However, I don't believe simply disabling an app, even a system app, would necessarily cause you to trip Knox if you reverted to the stock kernel. If all you want to do is disable the updaters, you might be able to go full stock and keep the services disabled. You can go into recovery and check to see if dm-verity is passing or failing. If it's passing, you should be able to run stock no problem.

I'll let someone more experienced chime in on that one, though.

QUICKVIC - MY MAN !!!

I stand corrected. You have become the savior we have been awaiting all these months. I have zero lag and this smoothness is on par with Stock. My mouth is literally to the floor right now. TY you so much !!!!!!! ANYONE who has had trouble in the past. Please give this fixed root a chance. TBH, OP should remove the old one from the thread. This is really fixed !!!. Will post my battery tweaks in a few days. Will let this burn in and report back.:victory:

Hell yeah that's what I like to hear!!! [emoji6] My phone with the s8 launcher and s8 apps is just flying, almost scary how fast it is and my battery life is great also. I have some build prop tweaks also if you guys would like to try those out, let me know. [emoji106]

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 AM ----------

The eng kernel does set the boot to custom. I've installed many apps directly to /system/priv-app including the super su apk and my Knox is still at 0x0. I don't think we have a kernel image to flash JUST the kernel so if you disable stuff with root you would have have to flash the whole firmware file to get back on the stock kernel and that would restore all those disabled/deleted apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] meathammer386:
i was thinking of getting the s7
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] icugotit2:
I only have the launcher so far but have not tried the other apps as of yet. I am currently doing battery tweaks now with force doze, greenfly and other small tweaks.

Feel free to post your build prop tweaks. i am curious now :) But, yeah I am floored at how fast this is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] MicroMod777:
Sweet thread. Lets get this ported to the S8/+! :))
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
I found these tweaks on xda here and I forgot who made them but if I find the thread again I will make sure to give credit to him. They work great on my phone but make a back up if you can just to be safe. Just copy and paste these in Device/system/Build.prop, and reboot!

Anyone who has used Quicvic30's newest root.bat.... if you guys can continue to let us know how your device is working.... I'm more concerned about overheating issues. Let us know if your phones are still getting very warm, or hot during use. I've been through two batteries, and a screen in the past year because of the ENG kernel. I really don't want to go through another. What was explained to me by the Samsung Service tech last week while changing the battery for the second time.... He stated using the ENG kernel all the time is like driving your car with the emergency brake on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] sabresfan:
No overheating issues on S7 flat. Got about 5 hours SOT yesterday and had about 15% battery life left. Great work by everyone. Thank You

I haven't had any heat issues at all. I'm a pretty heavy user also, the only thing I really don't do is game. If we could get someone to game for a bit and tell us they're results that would be great!

It's in the OP, the post number I linked the root.bat on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] pupochek:
Just out of curiosity, does your script try to fix this thing (I don't see it changed after running your root.bat, hence my Q)?

Set ro.securestorage.support to false in build.prop
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] icugotit2:
Did some gaming earlier on unreal 4 based game. Phone was nice and cool. of course everyone cpu and bin may have different mileage.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
What didn't change? Kernel govorner settings or the two line settings you posted? I messed with a couple lines and deleted a few things but I didn't write any new lines. Also did you unroot before flashing the new root.Bat or were you on stock previously?

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

Well that's good to hear about the gaming!

That's just it, some people's cpu bins are very low grade and even on the stock kernel you will have lag and heat issues. I used to know how to check your cpu bin grade but I forgot where exactly that file is located in the system. The info on how to check your bin value is burried somewhere over in the international S7 roms and kernel section in the Super kernel thread. There's a grading system and all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] pupochek:
Was only talking about build.prop changes.

I was rooted already with the original root.bat linked in the OP. Root was kinda working (Titanium and some other apps requring root worked properly), but I could not make any changes to build.prop neither with BuildProp editor nor with File Manager HD (hence SHealth wasn't working). Figured I'll try yours, but I don't think it was able to make changes to build.prop either, will double check when I get home (my wife's phone, lol)

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
Are the apps being granted root permissions? If they are that's pretty weird it won't change it. I use ES File explorer, you should give that a try, just make sure to go into tools and turn on root permissions and change everything to read-write.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] pupochek:
Just double checked - your s7updatebuildprop.sh has this in it

line_list=("ro.securestorage.support=false" "customized.versioncheck=$versioncheck"), but after running your root.bat ro.securestorage.support stays TRUE
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
It is pretty crazy, I'm thinking it has alot to do with those build prop edits I posted a couple pages back also. Give it a try man, everyone has been just thrilled with the results so far which makes me pretty damn happy we FINALLY have a fast, smooth, no lag or heat issues root method with great battery life.

That's very interesting, thanks for noticing that but like I said I didn't write many scripts in there, I just delete some stuff and tweaked some stuff. I'm not gonna edit though cause I don't wanna mess with a good thing at the moment lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Amd4life:
please don't flame me, as I know this is a nougat thread. BUT I was looking through the script files and they all seem pretty standard and specific to S7 processor. I was hoping the scripts changes would work on MM.

Will this script be okay to run on rooted MM? I need xposed, so I am going to stick with MM for a few more months, and was just trying to squeeze out some more smoothness from MM using your script (NOT the root part of course)

thanks

Being a root junkie, I tried the new root.bat. I will say that it is vastly improved over the original. Unfortunately, unlike my first attempt, this time I hopelessly broke Bluetooth and despite editing the build.prop, I couldn't store wifi passwords. (Instead of forgetting them, they become corrupted) The Bluetooth is a killer, because I depend on it. So, for now, I'm going back to stock.

However, while I was rooted, I noted that it was MUCH less laggy. I did have to wait about 2-3 minutes after each reboot for it to get there, but once it settled, it felt pretty close to stock. Unfortunately, I wasn't rooted long enough to get battery statistics, but if I could work out how to root without breaking required wireless services, this one comes pretty close.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] dandel0074:
Need some info.

I have the s7 flat and wanted to try out the s8 TW launcher. I saw the files for it but no instructions on how to install. Did you just install it normally or use a root file explorer to place in the correct place? I'm also curious on trying out the apps as I read on how it has some improvements with a quicker load time and response.

I also haven't been having any luck with the edge panel. Trying to get it working on my flat bit unsure of the files or folder I need to create

Anyone with more details on it with the S8 launcher and apps

Thanks in advance.

On a side note the root.bat is still working for me and improved so much. I even dirty flashed NO_BS_ROM _V10 with flashfire and mods are working as well as the extras with Lspeed, kernal adiutor. Also trying out the build prop add ons. I haven't gotten any heat or slow down issues and stand again on how it feels and runs smoother then stock. I'm still playing around with tweaks and extras .

i have no bluetooth or wifi issues. No need to edit the build prop file. everything should be handled by the root.bat minus the hurricane icon; which you would need to flash the zip by JKRuse on first page.

I am running V6 with stock kernel, thinking about trying V10 AND this root.bat.

I want to try preserving the data and dirty flash to V10.

What would the sequence be?

1. Flashfire to V10 zip, wiping Dalvik cache and cache

2. Run this root.bat

Or Run the root.bat then flashfire flash V10 zip?

Also, is your Android Pay still working? My Android Pay still works on rooted V6 ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] dandel0074:
Please take note that each device take thus root and tweaks differently and some original testing may be needed on your end but I have read anything about anyone having any problems so far.

Know that my device is t mobile S7 flat

Step I took

1. Do a backup

(after I did I moved it to my sdcard and fireflash still sees it)

2. I dirty flashed V10

(After the dirty flash I got the triangle warning (tempared

somewhat alert before it boots)) ths always happens to me

and still was able to clear that triangle warning after step 3

3. Flash the ENG. File and I left if for a few mins. To settle in.

4. Flashed the new root.bat and gave it a few mins. To settle as

well

5. Started customizing the mod features.

Note that I did this after all the first step to root and tweaks with Lspeed etc. And it was running real good and very fast I was impressed and loving it but I tried to get edge panel and killed everythung black screen so i started from scratch with stock nougat and did the updated version of root process and while everything ran great for some reason all my samsung apps didn't want to work. S health gear 3 etc so I reflashed my back up then the steps above. Sadly it to feel as fast as it did the first time but still what seems to me faster then stock and yet very happy with where I am with it. I'm still tweaking it out a bit here and there. I play games like clash royale and modern strike and everything is smooth and fast. I starts to get a weee bit warm but very good. Again I'm may have over tweaked it a bit as I'm still playing around with my customizations.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] dandel0074:
I'm extremely happy with my tweaking and I never knew what to use to get stats and performance other then antutu. I think it's just a gaming bench mark. If anyone knows what o can use I'll show them as for now here is my benchmark. I don't know what good is but as the pics say its an amazing record.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
I gave up on benchmarks quite a while back, they're just too far of a variance in scores even in the same exact testing conditions. You know how your phone is running and that's all that matters. Another reason is I had a S7 F model and it had super kernel on it over clocked and fast as hell running like a champ and it scored the phone 50,000 less than a stock score would net, that's just pure BS lol.
