Question about your XML file for Package Disabler. Its quite a long list of apps and processes that get disabled. Which ones are really critical in terms of completing root? Why is Chrome browser, S Health, S Voice, etc on the list? I had to enable some of those packages again in order to use them. Which leads me to my next question. After root is confirmed, are we supposed to enable any of these packages again or uninstall any of the apps we used for root?

FYI I had no problem with your tutorial yesterday, seemed to work like a charm. I was able to root directly from stock Nougat, I didnt have to go back to my previous stock PL6. Then I started messing around and lost wifi calling and couldnt get it back so I went back to PL6 and reinstalled stock Nougat and might do root again but looking for more info in my questions above.

Thanks!

What do you do with all of the packages you disable, do you re-enable them all when done?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] :
No keep them disabled, if you re-enable them it causes issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] townsenk:
In my opinion, If such a high amount of packages need removed. Then it may not be worth rooting.

Some people call it "bloat" others may call it "features". At this point I consider this method a proof of concept. Great job on your efforts! but for me the gains of having root do not outweigh the losses.

Yeah, got that one. You're not alone. I just downloaded a gallery app. Not gonna tinker with anything till the weekend.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jtash01:
The package disabler list from the OP includes com.android.externalstorage. That package must be enabled for all apps to get r/w access to the external SD card. If you unchecked that package in package disabler it will solve the card access problem with camera and gallery.

QAA is available from Sammobile as of today.

Thats the apps that i didn't need youre more than welcome to enable what you'd like.. but this works and havent had any problems. I enabled some system packages after i rooted and Knox disabled my volume up button. So i rerooted and didn't mess with anything, now everything is fine. The optional apps i disabled are up to you to enable.

External storage you can enable. From the optional list you can enable. Anything else i wouldn't recommend.

That's your opinion, to me the more apps disabled that aren't needed then the better. But thank you sir.

Nice dude. Thanks for your input!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Its needed to be enabled if you haven't merged your sd card with internal storage. Sorry forgot to mention that. Thanks for that.

Problems

So i have a few problems here. Wifi passwords are not sticking, Bluetooth was working but not now. after cache and dalvik cache reset is when problems occurred i did it because of major battery drain issues. Battery is great now. Just need to fix wifi and bluetooth. Also themes are not sticking either. Any thoughts or help greatly appreciated. I live in michigan and we have major power outages so redoing from scratch is not an option right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
For WiFi change ro.securestorage.support to false in BuildProp Editor. Save and exit restart your phone. For bluetooth let me look into it. For themes try selecting the one you want and force stop in applications [ select show system apps in drop down menu ] try clearing caches. Or if all that fails select theme and disable both theme apps in package disabler.

I'll write up a tutorial on changing the boot animation. This is my first write up so if a senior Xda member can audit this for me, please do so. I don't want anyone ruining their phones.

Step 1. Download the Android boot animation you want to install. Also download a file explorer that grants root access, ie root browser, es file explorer

Step 2. Extract the zip file if its zipped.

Step 3. Before you can copy and paste the QMG files, you will need to change the stock QMG files that are in the System/Media folder to some other extension. For instance I changed them all to .bak

So go ahead and browse to /system/media directory and change the bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg, and shutdown.qmg files to bootsamsung.bak, bootsamsungloop.bak, and shutdown.bak. Also delete or rename the boot animation files that have sprint or spr in the name. Those can not be there.

Step 4. After pasting the new QMG files into the system/media folder, do a long-press on each of the QMG files and select “Permissions”

Step 5. Change the permissions to “RW/R/R” for all 3 files.

Step 6. Reboot

That's it. Again, if a senior XDA member will verify this, please do. This was the method I used. I'm 99% sure I didn't forget anything.

So Package Disabler Pro deactivated and enabled all my apps with a notification that the device is rooted and the reason being a reversal.

I noticed my battery dies really fast. Today it went from 100% to around 60% in less then 3 hours. I do use govtuner with options 1 for the battery improvement.. but other then that everything works well. Every no and again it lags like hell and occasionally over heating while charging and playing high quality games.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Mast3rZero:
I just opened package disabler and it reactivated everything. Don't open it if it has updated.

Update: Since I already had titanium backup I just froze all those programs. From what I have seen so far is, that it worked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
What are you having trouble with? Im going to update with another way which involves sprint zone. Please be patient I'm working on it.

GovTuner, L Speed eliminate overheating. That is the beauty of root.

Me too. Had to root and unroot and reroot and repeat . The only time it happens to me is if I reboot recovery and wipe partition cache, then it does it but I can't think of anything else as of yet. I wish we had a better root method. I love rooting my samsung but they make it harder each year and because of that we lose root and have major lag...??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Methods out! Hope it works out for you. I am extremly exhausted and I am going to hibernate lol. Ill check back soon if you need help. Take care.

TA DAH! https://xdaforums.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/sm-g935p-spr-root-nougat-7-0-data-t3568780

Updated with methods involving Sprint Zone (Now "My Sprint") and different CPU modifiers. There is probably a bunch of typos lol I am so tired i need a break Ill be backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

Hope you guys like the method if you try it, its marvelous for me :) Sprint Zone/My Sprint is always good to have to check your monthly data usage.

Dont mind the low battery, thats how I roll. A wise Electrician once told me, "The longest way to sustain life for a battery is to let it die." Corny I know. My battery has been maintaining with my speed lately and maybe 4% avg drops every 30/45 mins.

-But I have my processes set to 4, animation factors to 0x in developer options, and Auto Update off.

I hardly have apps other than graphic ones and music so for you fellers out there lagging after this, slow down on the apps and memory usage.

Yes ram is great to be used up.. but with this little battery we have to not create havoc in the system; causing battery drainage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Mast3rZero:
The new method doesn't improve performance from the previous version, correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Mugetzsu:
Hey how's the performance of your settings in kernel adiutor? Is it snappier?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Lol what? It is..i wouldn't create a method that's slower. Play with the kernel app and find the best settings that's for your phone. Because of the variety of data and cpu differentials per user, my statistics are going to be different with my profiles.

Currently atm I'm using interactive governors. You can change it in either govtuner or kernel app. But yes I have no complaints.. I do see some lag when I have a ton of apps open but that's normal.

How do I install BHB27 Kernel Aditor ? I tried flashing it and it tells me unsupported device .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
https://www.xda-developers.com/xda-labs/

From play store download xda app if you don't have it.

When you open xda and go to menu..press Get Full Version.

Click Get Labs.

When you've downloaded and installed, run and open.

From menu click XDA Labs and select the apps tab, then search.

Type KA27 Mod Kernel Adiutor

Or DL app and transfer to phone:

https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/download/com.bhb27.kerneladiutor

You don't need to flash anything for this process. But don't mix l speed or any kernel modification app. Uninstall those apps..restart. Install app and apply yours or my settings.

Rooted S7Edge G935P ... Lost voice, kept data. Now it's switched around. Help.

I successfully rooted my Sprint S7Edge using this method. However, I lost voice service. I had correctly disabled the two Samsung DM processes. Unfortunately, I had neglected to disable a bunch of other stuff that root requires (the big list, which includes bootagent, BBCAgent, the Knox stuff, etc.).

Even without voice, though, I still had data.

Fast forward: I disabled all the other processes (in the big list), temporarily re-enabled Samsung DM phone interface, Samsung DM Service, and SecurityLogAgent. Used settings -> "Activate My Device". Disabled those three things again, rebooted, and now I have voice!

Now I lost data. Lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] radink:
I would start over from scratch. Follow it step by step.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Dude where does it say disable Samsung DM Services? Don't disable these at all!!!! This isn't like Marshmellows. That's why you didn't have data. Start over by wiping cache partition, flash qc1. At initial setup turn Wi-Fi off, connect gmail account. Reaching home screen let everything install Sprint ID, Sprint Zone, Google play store/services..enable USB Debugging and install Package Disable Pro. Disable apps from list. Disable any system update apps. Don't disable any DM apps at all!. Close recent apps and power off. Boot into download mode and flash eng. Once at home screen, on PC run Command Prompt as administrator and redirect folder to SuperSu 2.79 folder. After redirecting type root.bat, enter. If you're phones plugged in then SuperSu will inject and restart phone. When at home screen go to App Drawer and Open SuperSU. Change default access to Grant. Check Enable su during boot. Uncheck Mountspace name separation. Check Enable Pro towards bottom. It is a must to restart your phone now! Once restarted install BusyBox For Android and BuildProp Editor. In BusyBox install to /system/xbin and /sysyem/bin. In BuildProp Editor change chameleon strings to Sprint. Change 310000 to 310120. Click pencil icon, then floppy disk icon. Save, Save and Exit.

Close all recent apps.

Power Off.

Power On.

WahLah.

You can uninstall Carrier Call Utility and Sprint Zone now.

FLASH

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767153878

Should be uninstalled when FlashFire reboots.

Apply Bhb settings and flash Govtuner installation zip or don't even worry about it.. as long as one or the other is in control, the display of frequencies is not important because it fluctuates.

Quick notes on OP- Code box text doesn't wrap so if it doesn't fit in the box you have to think outside the box- see what I did there.

2nd(so far)- for the themes if you did by chance have a theme to permanently apply, simply move the files from /data/overlay/jsonfiles/trialjson to /data/overlay/jsonfiles/userjson and delete the folder data/overlays/preferences. This in no way, shape, or form my work I'm just sharing. I got my info from the S6 edge forum here:

Love the tutorial godpowerr, also love the way you set it up. I always check-in with this post. I have a quick question, when i went into & performed the build.prop from 1 to 0, unfroze Health & restarted. It said that there were still some apps that were disabled that stopped Health from going past the Health setup screen. Any help on what those might or could be. Thank you kind sir.

Wipe Cache Partition, clear data of all bt and syncing apps.

Sounds like BT is cloudy so wiping cache might help.

Forget All Pairs/Connections Disable BT/Enable BT before a reboot.

But i used to drive a co-workers Tacoma and the BT would never even ******* appear.

So i dug deeper into the truck radio deck settings and found a way for the truck to recognize my phone. Maybe your vehicle is simpler. Just A Thought.

You made me chuckle a little bit... I am still working daily on the thread, trying to read up and verify a lot of things.

I will add your share from s6 in thread. Thanks for the input.

You're a tough critic :p:highfive:. Also, appreciate the mention of Theme Depot-never heard of before now

Thanks brother. It's good to find a sense of appreciation from appreciation. I love that kinda stuff, i guess thats why i spent a lot of days figuring this root out. GL with everything :) Glad its working nice for you.

Lol those videos should be removed because theyre misleading to those people that don't read. Because ive tried.. tried just about everything that nearly hard bricked it when i first got it. That clearly says Non-Us Models. If a way for major applications to work for the SM-G935P is discovered, it will be known and you sure wouldn't be searching endlessly. I flashed magisk once, idk the zip name, the version, nothing.. but it managed to reboot and install but upon opening it was either corrupted or never opened at all. That modificiation put me in a soft brick and i almost **** my pants lol jk but the moral is, If a tutorial/method/process is found, it will be spread.

Little update with the newest root method. I did notice it running much smoother and the annoying stalls that were happening on the previous method are very very minimal now. For the snapchat users it's improved, it doesn't just randomly freeze up no more but I did notice the camera does lag sometimes but only on snapchat. Tweaks I have on are BHB27, speedswap, and greenify. Also for extra measure I have the "device optimization" widget to clear ram quick when needed. :)
