Okay - I though I tracked this down only for me to lose Bluetooth once again. But, I did figure it out so any advice is appreciated.

When I go into build.props and change ro.securestorage.support from true to false I lose Bluetooth. I had read that this is what I needed to do to save WiFi passwords.

Comments?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] kpirnie:
that is a bit odd mate.

i have mine set to false and have no issues with bluetooth...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] 000Nick:
Any idea why this ROM removes camera modes in the stock camera app? Auto is the only mode available, even when I replace the camera app with the one inside stock QF2 firmware. Also noticed that the heartrate sensor function is gone in S-Health, even with kevp's Knox build.prop edits. I care more about the camera, so maybe there was a library/framework overwritten/deleted (since I see a lot of that action going on in the updater-script).

EDIT: Fixed it. I added several system apps/priv-app's back from the QF2 system image which brought them all back. Notable installations included: (priv-app) ShootingModeProvider2, LiveBroadcast, SelectiveFocusViewer; (app) FactoryCameraFB, SlowMotion_Grace_N. ShootingModeProvider2 may be the only app listed above needed.

It looks like a new build is out from Verizon (QI1) that includes Bluebourne patches. [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] I know you have mostly moved on to other things, but wondering whether you have plans to, or would be willing to update the base of this rom? If the answer is no, I'll probably just return to stock.

Thanks you for all you have done for the S7E so far. I have really enjoyed using this rom!

Does anyone have a fix for this yet? I am having the same exact issue with it.. I also downloaded the google gallery app and same thing?

also has anyone rooted this rom? is it as smooth and battery life? and if I did root can I unroot and go back to running this rom without issue? Thanks for all your time!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Mibuix0r:
I never got it fixed I just use the google photos app now instead, the one that syncs your files to google drive. I keep mine rooted at all times so I can use xposed. It is a bit less smooth but its bearable. I don't really notice anything on battery life mine has never died during a day's use, probably wouldnt last multiple days though. There is a really easy root and unroot batch script you can run on your computer when the phone is plugged in to your computer that works through adb.

I have already taken care of bloatware apps that are of no relevance to me Verizon S7 stock Rom, please is there any script or mod to specifically uninstall Knox related apps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] SirDoogieHouserMD.Esq2000:
(1)You can either unzip the Rom .zip and delete the knox packages,then reinstall rom OR....... (2)Reroot after installing the rom and delete them with titanium backup or a similar app.Then odin flash the stock boot & recovery img.You can find those on www.firmware.mobi

You may not pass safety net on the 2nd option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] slimcyril:
That's too much work, just need a simple zip that does the job.

Jkruse's root method does it for you.

open up root.bat in notepad and look for yourself.

Help with step 6

I know most have moved on to bigger and better pursuits....but hoping for some help on this process. All has gone well up to, starting Flashfire. When I click "grant" giving flashfire supersu access, it runs through initialization checks and then closes. Checks include: Acquiring root access, enumerating partitions, enumerating storage, enumerating backup, default manufacturer and brand, enumerating properties then shuts down.

How do I complete this process?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] DildoMaster:
Not to threadcrap but I would go here and install Stang's Rom. Jrkruse helped make it too I believe. I've been running it since it released and it's been amazing. I'm sure Jrkruse will be back here when Oreo drops for our S7's.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Flapjacksd:
Thanks.

Just posted there. Not sure where in their process to start. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] storm81456:
First thing, make sure you're using the latest version of flashfire. Go to the playstore or chainfire's site to check/get it. The releases all have timelocks on them so after a while they stop working.

Searching for Service

Please tell me somebody has figured out how to get on the Stock UI version of this ROM while getting rid of the annoying "Searching for Service" error that appears on the lockscreen while also killing the doubly annoying and repetitive "IMS Service has stopped" notification. I've searched and searched, flashed and flashed, rooted and rooted, learned scripting and tried flashing my own zip that is supposed to delete the imsservice stuff in

system/priv-app/imsservice

and

system/app/ImsSettings

I tried flashing that zip just before the cache wipe in flashfire in the OP's steps before I loose root on the new ROM. I've solved the issue by deleting them manually when I have root on the stock Verizon ROM, but I want the unrooted version of this ROM so I can use Samsung Pay. Is there a way to obtain temporary root on this ROM, fix the issues, and then unroot so Samsung Pay will work while still ending up with the stock kernel?

As a last resort, can anybody think of some way to trigger a phone call to oneself and then end it after one second (making a phone call is the temporary fix for the Searching for Service error) using an app that doesn't require root, such as IFTTT or AutoMate, as soon as the phone boots? Idea seems far-fetched, but I'll throw it out there just in case.

If I've missed a thread or fix somewhere, forgive me. I've read till my eyeballs bled lol.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] amorrn:
You can flash just the engboot tar, use adb as root to delete the folders, then flash the boot and recovery partitions (zip in second post of thread). You can also get the boot and recovery image from Chainfire's site firmware.mobi if that link doesn't work or you need a different version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] micDropper:
Thanks! This worked great, except the solution I've been using to fix the "Searching for Service" error didn't work this time. I deleted every folder related to imsservice, one by one, rebooting after each instance to check for a fix. I didn't even get the Ims Service Error. It's like nothing happened this time. I navigated to the directories that had contained the files I deleted in adb and, sure enough, they were gone. The only thing I noticed was a doubling in my download speed (went from 23 ish to 44 ish), but that might be because it's 2 am with reduced network traffic. I don't know. I'm out of ideas on this one. I'm on Straight Talk Verizon, if that helps at all. I've messed with the apns to no avail as well. Does anyone have anymore info they could offer on this error?

Thanks

Spectre vulnerability?

Just curious what people are planning on doing based on the news that android (and pretty much every computer and phone) is vulnerable to hacks based on their processors. It sounds like google found it first and made or is making the changes to the software to make it safe. Since we're running old versions of their software without access to typical updates it seems we might be vulnerable. Thoughts?

From Google:

"Android

On the Android platform, exploitation has been shown to be difficult and limited on the majority of Android devices.

The Android 2018-01-05 Security Patch Level (SPL) includes mitigations reducing access to high precision timers that limit attacks on all known variants on ARM processors. These changes were released to Android partners in December 2017.

Future Android security updates will include additional mitigations. These changes are part of upstream Linux.

Google-supported Android devices include Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Pixel C, Pixel/XL, and Pixel 2/XL. Users should accept the monthly updates for January 2018 on Nexus or their partner devices to receive these updates. Pixel devices or partner devices using A/B (seamless) system updates will automatically install these updates; users must restart their devices to complete the installation."

Sim Card Full

I got it working but only have one problem left. I did everything from start to finish, except I flashed the S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip just before the wipe in flashfire, then deleted the imsservice.apk from adb. "Searching for service" is gone, "IMS Services has stopped" error is gone. Phone calls work, data is working with a change of the apn settings, and text messages deliver. However, it appears the phone is copying all sms and mms messages to the sim card until it fills up, while also storing them on the phone's internal memory. Once the sim card fills up, a notification pops up saying "SIM card full SIM memory full. Delete some items." The only thing left is to figure out what to do to stop the phone from copying messages to the sim card.

Update: It took a lot of digging, but apparently some guy called Samsung and they said the first 15 messages save to the sim card. Once it's full, messages default to the phone's internal memory. Samsung's stock messaging app is responsible for the annoying notification that the sim is full. My Solution: Delete the stock Samsung messaging app and use a different one.

Flash Order for Updates

So, I odined back to stock Verizon QF2 firmware and went through the steps in OP exactly. I rooted on V2 and flashed V24. My baseband is still QF2 but my build number is QA4_V24. Is this how it's supposed to be? Or can I odin back to QA4 stock and use the QF2-based files in OP to hopefully match the baseband to the build number on V24. I guess I'm just a little confused on how to properly update the ROM.

Edit: Just now realized the OP is up to date and QF2 IS the latest firmware and the matching files for previous firmwares are in the thread. My apologies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] micDropper:
Geekbench 4 QC5 vs QF2

I heard it mentioned in the thread that some people thought QC5_V4 was the best version of this ROM. I could only manage to find and install QC5 and QF2, but from the tests I ran on these, the latest QF2 firmware (V2) did much better on battery life and performance... I can't wait till T-Mobile beats Verizon; then we can have the best of both worlds: best coverage and processors (Exynos). They say it'll be about 2 years. In the meantime, thank you again, jrkruse for making such an outstanding ROM.

Ok so I have been away for awhile but have been helping [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] on his rom and together we have come up with a pretty great rom. This has all his Rom Control Mods from his other roms and has a new little feature added. The ability to root and unroot rom as you see fit. The unroot feature is achieved by simply flashing a zip in flashfire and you are automatically unrooted and will pass safetynet check and samsung pay will work and all most all custom features of rom will also work. Now to reroot all you simply must do is flash engboot.img in odin thats it no adb root bat or nothing else and as soon as you unroot again safetynet and samsung pay will work again. Wifi and Volte is also working for Tmobile ATT and Verizon sorry no sprint support for volte or wificalling yet. Also I have figured a way to have system root or the modified systemless root you are all using now. You choose on install what you want. This rom is for S7e and S7 users. [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] has his own site and the rom is available there. Here is the link

Samsung Pay not working on QF2

This is rom is great...almost perfect actually. The only thing I'm really having an issue with is Samsung Pay. I have followed the steps in the OP perfectly...went through a few times to make sure I didn't mess something up. Samsung Pay will start up and I can log in. No messages about root or knox or anything, but it won't allow me to connect in the app. It shows "You're Offline" "Check your connection, then try again." I have cleared cache and data on Pay and Pay Framework. Uninstalled, cleared phone cache, reinstalled. Called Samsung to make sure it wasn't something on their end. Nothing will make it work! I have not restored data to any apps during after flashing. Status is Official.

Anyone have any ideas?

Searching for service

So, I had to reinstall this rom after awhile due to slowdowns and such. It was running really well for a few months and I wanted to get it back to peak performance and clean everything up.

After reinstalling, I am having an issue with the Searching for Service message after every reboot. I am on Straight Talk on Verizon Towers on my SM-G935V. After each reboot, I will not receive any incoming calls or messages until I initiate at leat one outgoing call...then all the missed messages roll in all at once and I can then receive calls. After playing around with nearly every setting...I have located two toggles within the Rom Control - Advanced Calling Features section.

Go under that menu and tap IMS Settings. Then tap "IMS Service Switch". Next, toggle the "RCS switch" to OFF. After that, back up to the previous screen, scroll down and tap "Self Provisioning". Inside that menu, tap "Toggle Provisioning" once, wait approx. 5 seconds, then tap it again. It should state that both "Provisioning" and "Eab" are ENABLED.

After doing this, the "Searching for Service" should go away and it should now say Verizon Wireless. Also, this is the only way that I've found to get voLTE to work as long as it is turned on.

Now, if we can find out how to permanently disable RCS so it sticks through a reboot, maybe it would fix the voLTE and searching for service issues for good? Any help out there on how to accomplish this? [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION]

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

I am not sure what happened, but since yesterday, I can't use google play store or anything. The safety net test fails too. I dunno if I messed something up with all my fidgeting with file explorers and ****. I can;t even use substratum. It says I have the sungstratum addon but I need a vpn because it may be banned in my country or some weird ****. I am going to try a simple restore from a back up and see if that changes anything. I keep supersu updated and what not. My google play store has been starting to crash like this since a week ago but I used to get it to work again with a few methods. Uninstalling playstore updates would let me use it and clearing my system cache and deleting google account and data from device and re adding it along with all playstore data. But now i just can't do anything.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] johnny_chimpo:
Hello all been running this for a while it has been great! Suddenly when I make or receive a call I lose 4glte or basically data so if I am using my hotspot which I love and I get a call my data connection gets dropped.

is there a fix for this. Oh it comes rith back once the call ends so it goes from 4G to 1x then back to 4g after the call. quick side note is there a good guide to backing up my phone? I have a feeling there is no fix and I will need do a factory reset.

oh and yes I have reset my network settings and wiped the cache.
