I've had this phone for about a month now and it's driving me insane not having root. I keep checking this thread every day hoping all this lag and other minor problems are solved. Why is it that rooting this particular device causes so much trouble? Why do people get lag so bad? I know some of you are not having any problems after the tweaking but the majority report problems.

Lspeeds will slow down your phone.Dont use it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] KyleK29:
I've had the opposite reaction with LSpeeds. Once I got them tweaked correctly, all lag disappeared.

But then again, I don't have GovTuner installed. So maybe there's a conflict? I'm running just KA, LSpeeds, Greenify, and Luxe. Performance and battery life has improved tremendously since doing these.

Before Greenify/Luxe tweaking, I was getting 4hrs screen on time. I'm now at around 5:15 and I'm running my screen a lot brighter than I ever ran my previous phones. My idle discharge and fast charge are also working a lot better, so I assume it solved a wakelock issue (Android System was always at the same percentage with Screen Usage before tweaking).

Back to the stock firmware now, I tried to go back to the previous firmware but that wasn't happening, jeez went from a phone getting good battery life, good performance to a lifeless laggy pos. I'll see how this does today, have some bloat diabled, greenify and all the other tweaks that you can do with stock that don't seem to help. This phone didn't like root from the start, not with this firmware or any other, what sucks is it's not that great of a phone anyways, I got sold on the edge screen cause it looked purdy. When the pain of having to pay so much for this phone wears off this phone and a 16lb sledge are going on a date.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
You didn't even give it a 48 hrs to settle in lol. Anyways I did the same thing at first. I've rooted this thing probably 10 times now and I finally found a good combo/method. A root.bat file that already has goveror set to interactive and probably some other mods I don't know about. Phone is running great, little bit of lag on reboot but that only takes a couple minutes to go away then it's as good as stock if not better. I managed to get almost 7hrs screen on time last week.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
Yeah, once the stock ROM settles and you have everything tuned, it does fine. It's not quite as good as stock from a battery perspective, but the lag is practically non-existant now. It very occasionally shows up in settings from time to time, but that's about it.

I only have two "complaints" about this device: the edge screen sometimes makes it hard to use the on-screen keyboard and the built-in speaker is nowhere near as good as the dual, front-firing speakers on my old HTC One M8. Of course, not even HTC has managed to beat those speakers, so...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jddoggett:
I had actually giving it more than 48 hours, rooted it on Sat. didn't use any tweaked root.bat. Now on stock I've had it unplugged since 6am, not really a big deal but it would have already drained about 10% rooted, it's still at 100%, that's a good sign.

---------- Post added at 08:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

Haven't noticed any lag on stock, rooted I think it was draining even when connected to the fast charger. Edge screen is a gimmick and yes the speaker sucks on this phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jddoggett:
5hrs now down to 96% batt, I bet I don't plug this in once till I go to bed and then it'll still have 50%.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] petiolarissean:
If you have Lspeeds then set seeder to aggressive and lag will disappear

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
Depends on why you want root. Adblocking, control of the firewall, ability to back up and restore apps and create off-device archives, alter the build.prop to fix certain annoying issues, etc.?

The problem is that you can't use L Speed and GovTuner at the same time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Blade22222:
You can use both at the same time but you can't use the gov tuner that's built into L speed at the same time. I recommend using the l speed version as it has the newest tunables.

Can I use SuperSU to unroot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
Sorry, I don't believe you can. I think you need to replace the EngImage with the stock image for your phone.

Why do you want to Unroot your phone? If I may ask. Basically, you would have to get a stock image and use the stock version of Odin to reflash back. At least that is the way I understand it. I see you have the ATT version of the S7E, and if you need the stock version for ATT, there are a lot of them around on here.

Hope this helps a little.

It's very laggy with root. It wasn't like this before
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] freeop:
Oh, I understand. I had rooted my MM G935A a few months ago. Went back to unrooted, updated to Nougat, rooted Nougat and was not happy at all with the performance.

Ended up going back to Stock MM and then rerooted with the EngImg for MM and am a lot happier.

So I do understand your reasoning. Hope everything works out for you. Just let us know if you need any help.

Should I root my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 (Qualcomm)

I have rooted Android before, but I need some advice. My first GS7 I rooted ran 6.0.1. After I rooted it, it was working fine. Then I tried to mod the play store with lucky patcher (Not doing that anymore!) then messed up the Gapps and would keep talking me to the recovery. I tryed to fix it with odin, but it didn't work. I had to send it back to Verizon and get a replacement. I really want to root because of the benefits and features it gives. Im running the latest edition of VZW Nougat 7.0 security patch update 2-1-17. If I chose to root, would this method work with my os im running and model?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] cwis:
I'm having the same issues with nougat. It's dismally laggy. I guess this the way to go, back to MM. But my bigger concern is the Google security updates. How do we receice them?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
Well, for the first time since I've been an Android user, I bailed back to unrooted stock. :(

I went to the zoo with my family yesterday, and the ambient temperature (~78-80F), plus whatever the phone was doing, got to be too much and it throttled the device hard. Taking pictures was miserable, and video was right out. I got severely goofed up video full of stuttering and audio dropouts. (It's not the card either, I've recorded video just fine to it before) I played with the kernel governors a bit during the day, but the best I could get was passable. Even texting was miserable.

Naturally, once we got back to the car and it cooled down, it was fine again, but that was enough. I backed up my pictures and blew it back to stock Nougat.

The only thing I'm seriously missing is adblock/ipfirewall support. I bought a license for package disabler pro, and that is fixing most of the bloatware bull. Nova launcher hides most of the TouchWiz stuff I don't care for, etc. I am going to have rework my apps, or start buying ad-free upgrades, because that crap is getting old real fast.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Still_living714:
Get adguard and pay for the premium. So far it has blocked every ad online and on apps. It also has a firewall you can choose what apps get Internet connection saving you battery. Anyhow, reading this from users like you makes me not wanna root my phone ???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
So I've been running awesome here and I need you guys to try this root.bat file for me. This is the one I use and I DONT use any kernel editor apps or make any adjustments what so ever.

Do NOT have any kernel editors or Lspeed installed when installing this please. Make sure you have the eng kernel installed. On your PC just unzip the file and double click the root.bat file to install.

After phone reboots instantly power off phone and reboot to recovery and wipe cache partition then reboot.

After power up let phone sit for 5-10 mins DON'T TOUCH IT, I KNOW ITS HARD BUT JUST DON'T DO IT!!!

Reboot one last time

Once it boots up open to home screen and just let it settle for a minute. DO NOT go into super su app, just leave it be!!! Open a app you know needs root permission and make sure the root prompt pops up. Let me know how the phone runs.

Thanks

eng kernel still cripples your phone

I am a heavy user so Iam not sure where people are saying lag is barely visible. After tweaking and using for 72 hours i had to go back. the experience is not fluid. it stutters from time to time. In a nut shell things wont improve because of the eng kernel. This really cripples your device. If you only watch movies, web browse,ims, some music and 2d gaming it is doable as a driver. But if ou find yourself a heavy users, hds movies, huge flac files, 3d unreal 4 gaming and such. you will cry and breakdown to stock.

Only thing i miss is adaway. thats all.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] dandel0074:
What games do you use that causes lag. I'm a gamer and notice on some games it lags and other run smoothly. Modern strikes oddly runs pretty smooth for me on mobile data where as on rooted marshmallow inwas impossible to play. Candy crush lags a lot but soda crush doesn't at all. I have my S7 flat t mobile rooted running pretty smooth but when it sits with out any use for a while and I get on it it starts to lag for a few minutes but with more usage it runs fast. I also have all my recent apps running in the back grand. Battery life isn't to had either but I have a habit if always plugging it in when I drive around. ( I heard it's not good to do that and to let it drain but again it's a bad habit of mine) I'm still running test with other ways of root. Bit so far the first original root method seems to run the nest for me with the extra tweaks. I've tried the No_BS _rom but everything goes wrong with Samsung's apps like S heath and app store. I dirty flash that with my first original root and was able to get android pay working. So No_BS_rom V6 is ok bit now V10 is out and going to give that a try. Plus from a few post back there's suppose to be a root with out any lag that I want to test out as well. All in good time. Yes lag is still there bit for me it's very minimal. I also consider my self a pretty heavy user. I think people just have to find a way to get there device working with certain tweaks as every device is different and only certain tweaks work with their device. It's no easy task as it took me a while to find what works best for mine and is very time consuming . Over all I'm pretty content and happy with where I am with my S7 flat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] jshamlet:
The problem is that it isn't consistently laggy, and it can really vary widely. In a cool room with little running, my phone was practically like stock. Smooth as silk. Once it got warmed up a bit from doing something (running apps) it would lag a bit from time to time. Once it was actually warm to hot, or in a hot environment, the lag turned into flat out stuttering. You never know from time to time what to expect, and I think that's because it's always close to the edge and occasionally gets pushed over.

I really, really didn't want to go back to stock. Had I made the call during the original return window, I'd likely have taken it back. However, I've realized that the only two things I was using root for were backing up and restoring apps and ad blocking. I haven't really been using Titanium Backup all that much period lately, as I've slimmed my app load down to just my daily drivers and the occasional game, so I don't really mind that one too much - especially now that I know I can turn off auto-updates in the Play store. The second issue is more of a PITA, but it has prompted me to start downloading better apps or paying for the no-ad versions. I really only have a few apps I "need", so I figure it will cost me fairly little to get rid of them that way. (I use MyRadar a lot, so got the pro version - it came with the bonus of not leaving the bottom of the screen blank)

The only other issue is that I can't get my favorite font now because of Samsung's new font signing idiocy, but the stock font isn't terrible.

I dunno. I want to try the newer root solutions, but it's hard to argue with stock on this device. It is so buttery smooth right now compared to the engineering kernel.

odin stock nougat image. Be sure select home csc. This will preserve your data.

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 PM ----------

I play heroes of incredible tales which is based on unreal 4 engine. even adjust graphics value from 6 to 3 caused game play to stutter with low fps. My battery life was decent and tweaked things like crazy. But at times during the day the phone will have random slows downs as similar to when your first booted and values were not loaded from lspeed and gov. At the end of day i didn't pay $700 for a crippled experience. Smooth sailing all the way for me. I miss having viper, but corrected that by buying a dac. I miss adaway but will give dns66 a shot. I can also finally force multi window for all apps on nougat without root.

So for me root running stock is more than livable and the features of root has caught up while having the best battery and performance. But lesson learned last carrier samsung phone I will ever buy.

Nicely said. If you stress the cpu and gpu. The kernel goes into shock and the device heats up and stutters. This has been my experience. Stock is even faster now too as well with the s8 launcher imo.

Wow! Your root.bat is amazing!!!

Now on a side note I'm not to sure if it was just your root.bat it self but i think I'm actually running faster then stock.

What I did

First off I am running the first version of root from this thread and had it running pretty good with an off and on lag but at a decent and useable daily driver. I tried the NO_BS_ROM_V6 and it made things worse from a clean install so just for kicks I restored my original first root back up and dirty flashed it over and again running a bit better and I even had keyboard delays as well, so i was content. Then came your root.bat and noticed an updated with NO_BS_ROM_V10. While I was hesitant of going threw the whole process of rerooting i thought I'd just try V10 (dirty flashed since clean wipe didn't work for me much). I got mods and still running pretty decent less lag but still some minor lag. So I decided to use you root.bat to unroot then reroot and what a difference.

This is running (What feels to me extremely fast/buttery smooth/ tweaked out all the above) excellent, it is so fast I really can't explain and although it may seem like I'm exaggerating, I can't stress enough just how this is So fast!

I haven't fully tested out connectivity text and data but will within a few days of running it this way.

I can't thank you enough.

I can't wait for my next paycheck to donate but where do I start. It may not be much but it will be some.

I highly recommend this this guys root.bat along with all the other great work from each and every one that made thus possible.

Now I'm just looking for some extra mods that I can add like edge panel and possibly more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Quickvic30:
Well thanks! No need for a donation but thanks for the offer! I'll take a smidge of credit for that root.bat but really its just a modified version from Jkruse (I deleted some stuff).

My phone is still running like a Champ! I hit 7 hrs of SOT today! I was just abusing the thing too trying out different s8 stuff. I have the soft keys enabled on the s8 launcher but for some reason they always stay black. Working/looking for a fix about this issue but all the keys work and I also disabled all the original keys and lights. Just waiting for that s8 firmware to drop so we can peal it apart! :good:
