There's one little problem. If bootloader changes to v4 I'm screwed if it don't work. As all restore stock img have v2 bootloader. There I be stuck with brick. Until one released with v4 for active.

So if we come up with eng Kernel for active with right boot ing I'll hold off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Krog18:
Flashing the eng kernel doesn't change your bootloader.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
I guess I never really thought about that or looked into it but seems feasible. The eng.img does have some numbers for the description but not really like our firmware and BL identification sequence. I bet nougat for the regular S7 edge would flash on that active, you would be minus the active key. But it is kinda risky business if your only on BL 2.

I'm pretty sure the original poster of the eng.img has the eng.img for the active, he said he has all the firmware for them anyways. Maybe try PMing him about it.

If you don't know what to do with them I suggest you do some research/reading up on editing build props. Not trying to be a **** but you can never know enough about everything lol

You have to copy and paste those to system/build.prop using a file explorer with root/read/write enabled. I use ES file explorer.

Awesome, good work! Another thing while benchmarking, make sure all back ground apps are closed, clear all the ram and let the device sit for 5 mins before you test. Also do not touch the phone while it's benching and try to be in a quiet, cool, dark place.

Any other tweaks you think may be responsible for the difference?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
Not really besides just debloating/deleting all the apps you don't use.

You also have to remember all cpu's and gpu's aren't created equally. One can be an A grade CPU while the other is a D grade CPU. Luck of the draw is when it comes to CPU grades.

The engineering kernels and files are not meant to be released to the public, certain people have access to them for testing, coding, repair, etc... read between the lines. That's one of the reasons rooting using this method has such varied success... there is no 1 "cure-all" solution. Those files aren't really meant to be run for the life of the device by "users" on a daily driver phone. The files that are getting released, are more a less being leaked... not "released". So while "I agree" I hope they do surface sooner rather than later, I completely understand his/their hesitation in releasing them... Just read thru this thread.... some people have had great success, others have had complete failure... Most people don't even want to read thru the OP for details, let alone the thread to gather information.... they just post a question that's been answered before - sometimes right above their post. :( or people complain the instructions aren't labelled clearly enough, or links to files aren't easy to find, or using this method cause batteries and screens to burn out... One poster even said his rooted phone worked fine in the house with the AC but failed miserably outside in 80f heat... :crying:

We all try to assist, we all try to help, we all try to contribute.... but at the end of the day - each user HAS TO PUT IN SOME EFFORT. And everybody HAS to realize, rooting (by any method imho) is always done at the users own risk. There is no guarantee given or implied. Results are obviously going to vary - and for guys who don't understand what they're doing - the results are ALWAYS going to be questionable. ** I AM NOT COMPLAINING ON ANYONE ** I'm just saying having root on this device period has been a stroke of luck with a touch of genuine genius thrown in for good measure (NOT BY ME - BY THE GUYS DOING THE HEAVY LIFTING - THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE)

I truly hope everyone is able to obtain an acceptable level of performance and usability while gaining root access. That's the goal for everyone in this thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] michel5891:
I've noticed significant occasional slowdowns QuickVic30.

Also I saw you mentioned debloating. Where do I begin? Where are the indigenous apps located?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] robbieas:
I forgot to wipe cache before rooting.... but did it once everything was completely rooted and everything is up and running fine. Used Quickvic30's new root.bat... no lag or performance issues that I can feel so far.

Anyone thing this will cause any performance or other long-term problems?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] nitroevo:
I know this root is for nougat but just curious.. If I were to downgrade to marshmallow.. Would this root.bat work for that as well? I really miss xposed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
Well said...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
When is it slowing down or lagging? If it starts lagging real bad just dirty flash the root.bat.

There's so many debloat threads out there just do a search on here. If your not sure about what your going to delete don't delete it. I usually do all the carrier garbage bloat and some system stuff that I never use. You have to be REALLY careful deleting settings or system apps, if you delete the wrong stuff you will get stuck at the boot screen.

Are you using the build prop tweaks I posted also?

I highly doubt it, I've been running it since March 26th and haven't had any issues. Everyone should make a habit of rebooting they're phone ATLEAST once every day or couple of days. Usually I boot recovery and wipe cache every other day.

Lately I've messed my phone up so many times trying to get s8 stuff working I'm pretty sure I'm on #6 of dirty flashing firmware using home CSC andnive flashed the root.bat I don't even know how many times lol. I did get the new rounded s8 Google search bar working though!

When it slows down is hard for me to decide, but, I've noticed that when i pick up the phone for usage after not using it for a while, there's tremendous lag.

No i have not done anything in regards to the bool.prop tweak. Would you mind providing the post with the instructions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
The build.prop edits and instructions are on the last page or the page before. I have my settings at 20 posts per page so it might even be back three pages.

Like stated even stock is slow to wake. I don't have any issues with that though. I'm pretty sure those build prop edits will take care of that issue for you.

Must have been an international F model if you used another method besides eng.kernel. I miss the good old days...... just flash CF autofoot and your good to go. Rumor has it over on the s8 boards even the exynos international models are going to be bootloader locked due to the demand for Samsung pay.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Saaber:
I used Root Explorer. All you do is open the build.prop file in the System directory and paste the build.prop additions at the end. Root Explorer will even save the original file as a backup, but I had no problems with it. My phone runs considerably better after adding that.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
Very true!

I pretty much turned mine into a s8. I swear the new TW launcher is Soooooo much smoother and faster than previous ones its just making everything run faster and smoother as I add more and more s8 stuff to it.

I edited a good portion of the build prop with the S8 model number and s8 build descriptions/characteristics. That unlocked some hidden s8 stuff like Google rounded search widget bar and in gallery when setting wallpaper there's a new panoramic option but I haven't got that working yet. I enabled the soft buttons on the screen and disable the original home button, back and recents and that seems to be working pretty good but the icons always stay black so on a black screen it's a little difficult lol. If anyone is interested in doing this I can post the edits and you can copy and paste into build prop.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] michel5891:
Put phone in airplane mode. This worked out for me. Also make sure Unknown sources in security settings is checked and under developer options, make sure OEM unlock is checked USB debugging is checked and verify apps via USB is unchecked and you should be good from there.

@Quickvic30 would you mind reposting the build prop tweaks again please? Including the ones you recently tweet for the S8 settings and user interface.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
No you can do this at the command prompt. Just type 'root.bat'*
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
No not in download mode, just have the phone on and have it on the home screen. Toggleebugging on and off when it's plugged into the computer and ADB open. Also make sure to turn off check apps for harmful bahavior through ADB. One more tip, you don't even have to open a command window, just double click the root.bat and it should open the ADB window automatically and start flashing. It takes about 2-4 mins to flash and phone will reboot itself.
