It was a reflash. Reflashes don't require that. Went from v1 to v2.

I think I may have not checked clear supersu image.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] lahegry:
Not rooted, that was why I was asking if it was a known thing. I don't need root with all the ui features baked in it was merely idle curiosity on my part.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] SirDoogieHouserMD.Esq2000:
OK,If you choose to update when a new Rom version is available you could change your font before flashing the zip.The new font will stick without root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] kyanox:
I'll have to lookup how to make a Odin image of my current install. Its your rom with S8 apps on bs free. It runs excellent. I must say jrkruse kudos, this rom is smooth.

Once I image my phone I'll try a playstore install. I really did it for the battery life which seems to be better than touchwiz for some reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] seandop:
Huh. I'm not convinced that going from V1 to V2 doesn't require going back to stock Verizon and starting from there. I thought the the dev's note about reflashing only applied to flashing the same version. I could be wrong. I was wondering what would happen to Safetynet on a reflash of the same version, too...

Also, Supersu image is cleared by default now. You would have had to have accidentally selected it against the default in Flashfire.

Battery life is really nice. That's with 2 minutes shy of 3 hours screen on time

Damn, nice!

Are you using PlayStore? Is your brightness/resolution turned down?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Bsober:
No I'm not using Play store. I'm on modified ui no 120. Resolution around half.

Everybody must be jumping ship on the s7 the threads kinda dead
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Bsober:
It has been dead for sure. Maybe everyone is just running so well there's no chatter. I'm plenty happy waiting on the note, especially with the systems we have available for it. They're great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] lahegry:
No sense to chatter when everything is working perfectly........ With the exception of the included fonts that is. This is a great rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
I never thought I would say this but Verizon firm is running better than ufirm. This is by far the better of the 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] lahegry:
I tried both, and I definitely got to agree
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Bsober:
Yes. This version is defiantly the best. Been an interesting road in getting here. Each time things getting better and better. Better instal methods and better systems. I think this will be hard to top.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Thank you and all the other people for helping get it here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] radelon:
I liked the VZW setup but the DirecTV app doesn't work. It does on the UFirm. Now my complaint on the UFirm is that every time I reboot the phone or disconnect the Bluetooth the Gear Software resets and I have to redo my watch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CVertigo1:
I would like to comment on this, but can you post it in the U-firm thread? I don't want to dirty this thread with comments about another ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] tmord1:
Thanks for yet another rendition of this Rom. I am currently on Verizon stock tweaked, moderate debloat, ad blocked. I am thinking of trying NoNaME/bsfree, but have a few questions:

1) Can I start from rooting the phone step, or do I have to go back and Odin stock verizon nougat files.

2) Will Samsung Pay still work

3) Are there any issues playing videos? I had noname installed, but was having some trouble with youtube videos and went back and installed the vzn stock tweaked version. Not sure if I had a bad install first time or if an apk was removed in bs free that disabled video play or if it might be related to adblocking.

Thank you!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
If your on the version already and just want to change something all you need to do is root and refresh zip if your not on qc5 yet you need to follow op
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] brentsten:
I came from VZW firmware (QA4) rooted.

Followed instructions in OP, but I lost root after the phone booted with the new rom. I ran the root.bat file to try and re-root, but I keep getting errors when it tries to mount any partitions - "not user mountable in fstab"

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CVertigo1:
Did you flash the root kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] brentsten:
I'm not sure what you mean.. there's no mention of flashing a kernel in the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CVertigo1:
This ROM is not rooted if you choose stock Verizon in Aroma. What did you choose?

If you want to root it, you need to flash the eng kernel(root kernel) with Odin, then run root.bat in the root folder.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] brentsten:
I chose the 3rd one down, mostly de-bloated IIRC?

I was confused by the terminology. You call it the eng kernel/root kernel, I've seen it called the eng bootloader. Anyway, I didn't realize that it wiped the kernel/bootloader after the Aroma install.

I reflashed it and ran the root.bat file and all is working now. Thanks for your help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] CVertigo1:
I was referring to the carrier choice in Aroma, not the debloat level. It's an engineering boot image, not bootloader, but I see that term thrown around a lot. Anyways, I'm glad you got it all working!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] kyanox:
I am having one issue. I can't stream mp3 music or play any mp4 videos? Is this just a missing codec issue perhaps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] brentsten:
I lost my fingerprint scanner after flashing the eng_boot and rooting.

I disabled fingerprint wake-up in rom control, but it still gives me the scanner not responding message. I force restarted the UI and rebooted the phone.. didn't seem to help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] seandop:
As others have said, this version is fantastic. Battery life is phenomenal!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jwasko79:
1 Min Reboot

I am so excited to try out the new version! So today I followed the steps on the OP, everything was going smoothly - until the end - GAH! lol

The phone reboots about a min into the device setup. I have tried letting it time out or rushing through selections to see if it was the progression of the setup that was triggering a reboot. I also cleared the cache and factory reset from recovery and have the same boot-loop. I'm not sure where to go from here. :-\

Should I try to flash BL and CP in Odin again?

Thanks in advance for any help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Im going to go out on a limb and say you either can straight from Ufirmware and didnt start on verizon firmware or you didnt flash the AP file along with the zip in flashfire
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] thekojac:
I wouldn't take that as a bad sign. I'm only checking this thread out every couple days now since this rom is running so well for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] SirDoogieHouserMD.Esq2000:
I must concur that the battery life for this rom is outstanding.:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] brentsten:
Still having fingerprint issues..

I odin'd back to VZW QA4 stock, followed directions in OP and got the Rom up and running with sensor still working.

Flashed the eng_boot, sensor still working.

As soon as I ran the root.bat file, it rebooted and the sensor stopped responding. I disabled fingerprint wake up in Rom control before rooting as well.

I ran the unroot.Bat file, but still no sensor.

I'm wondering if rooting is breaking it or something in the final command line of the root.bat

Edit: Fingerprint sensor is working after reflashing the zip in flashfire, wiping cache and dalvik, but I've lost eng_boot and root.

I'm willing to be a guinea pig if anyone has suggestions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] radelon:
Having problems getting Finder to work again. Try to install it and it says there's a conflicting package.

I just switched from the UFirm Version back to this one since everyone was talking up how good this build is. Now I run into this, uggh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] DildoMaster:
I don't think fingerprint was working for me while rooted either for whatever reason but I like to stay unrooted for the speed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] brentsten:
I got the fingerprint scanner working after I rooted thanks to [MENTION=7402674]qwewqa[/MENTION] here:

Basically follow the directions in the OP and you'll be fine if you don't root.

If you decide to root, follow the directions in the root thread (Found in the OP), then the directions in the above thread I posted. Works great!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
This rom is not a rooted rom if you choose to root thats on you if things dont work

No Data Connection

So after upgrading to the latest qc5 firmware, I cannot get any mobile data. Used Odin to bring me to stock QC5 before beginning. Tried reflashing the stock QC5 again but still no data. Any ideas on what is going on?

Great Rom by the way it just works so smooth.

So apparently my APN settings had to be changed. All is good now.

Thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
I take it your not verizon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrabsher:
It's a Verizon phone, on a mvno which uses the Verizon network. Never had a APN problem on earlier builds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] studiorat:
im on the qc5 and VZW but my phone says android is updating then it reboots but also checking device Status Sprint OMADM what is that about? and it keeps rebooting every 5 minutes, If I reflash I will have the same issues I assume...Do I need to re install the eng rom, Reroot etc....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
because when you flashed the rom zip you probably forgot to mount system. Start from fresh rooted verizon qc5 odined flashed firmware then follow OP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
I had to change some things on this build so volte would connect automatically so it may have affected non verizon volte customers on data connections. As long as apn will fix it I guess its ok for you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Tulasiram999:

Anyone getting the message if play back doesn't resume soon try restarting device? It's in chrome and the Google app. I know Google has been having some server problems lately, but using Dolphin browser everything will work fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Z792:
I might just be an idiot because I've had a small amount of rooting experience but still no idea what I'm doing...

So, if we follow OP's instructions and install the custom ROM, will the phone be rooted at the end with FULL root status?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] DildoMaster:
No. The Eng kernel is slower than the stock kernel and for whatever reason, root causes all kinds of lag issues on this device. At the end of this ROM install, depending on what options you choose, you'll have a very fast de-bloated phone with adblocking, unlimited tethering, and still showing official status so you can use things like Samsung Pay.

I haven't had this happen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] junear:
Have few questions,

1.For those with excellent battery, are you using the Playstore version?

2. Also, can we install Samsung health and pay in playstore version? Edit - This is possible based on a previous post.

3. This Verizon firmware, I guess it will work with other GSM sims. I do not need voicemail etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] studiorat:
I re installed qc5 to rid myself of the voice to text issue ..... but ive been in a boot loop since last night I re flashed according to the OP verbatim and now it boots into the software and shuts down I can't get out for it. I have re odined the BL probably 12 times and tried to reroot to reflash tomorrow but I can't get root to go fast enough before the phone reboots I'm am really at a loss and don't know what to do or what I did to cause this. I followed Verbatim the OP numerous times......
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Why dont you write down the steps one by one what you did and lets start by the most obvious are a verizon customer and do you have a verizon s7 edge?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Please give me more details about this and have you tried clearing data on google play services?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
It might not work this is pretty specific to verizon. You can try but dont be dissapointed if it dont work a better rom for you would probably be the Ufirm rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] junear:
Thanks. I have Verizon sim now but will have a GSM sim later. If the firmware supports the bands, then it should work. Otherwise will try something else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Bsober:
Yup cleared everything numerous times, wiped update to android web view, and tried chrome support library just for kicks. Every so often if i wait long enough the video will play with no sound. It happens in any app related to google. Video with sound works with Samsung and dolphin browsers. Worked fine in stock verizon firmware this afternoon. Clean installed VZW_HYBRID_PLAYSTORE_BS_FREE_NoNaMe_QC5_V3 and didnt work again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
I just played 3 different videos in google chrome and they all played with sound. I tried 1 on msn 1 on cnn news and one my local news chanel

I have had this problem every since using dual speaker mod. As long as you use samsung internet it is good. But, in apps like facebook that use webview, you have to go into settings and change it to use external browser and choose samsung internet to get you phone to behave as you would expect when clicking on video links. There is something in the dual speaker mod that causes chrome and webview to not run videos. I have used matlog and it has an error that has to do with audio but I can't narrow it down any further.

I personally still use the dual speaker mod but I have to make facebook and the google app use the external browser (samsung internet) to have video links work as expected.

I wish I could help more but this is all the further I can get.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Bsober:
Thanks! Thats great to know. Been driving me crazy. I almost didn't click on the speaker mod yesterday too. I knew it was something goofy.

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

I'm going to look into installing the sound mod into the Rom without having to it as a choice in aroma. Seems as though I used it before it was an option in this setup and chrome and webview were fine. Hard to keep up lately as I'm always changing things and re-flashing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jsminnis:
I was using a different version of the dual speaker mod before the one that was introduced into the rom and it had the same problem. I'm sure it has something to do with the way google routes audio but as I said, I can't pinpoint the code that's making it do this. I am an Ironworker, that has been rooting my devices since the droid 1 in 2008, but coding is a little beyond my scope of expertise. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Bsober:
Yeah, coding is above my skills. I can kinda piece a little of this to a little of that as far as fooling with a Rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] aarontbrooksjr:
Love the new build. Only 2 issues so far

1. Fingerprint scanner to unlock only works 50% of the time. When it doesn't work it won't make a sound or say no match. I have to enter pin

2. Night clock doesn't work

I can live with both these issues not a prob just seeing if anyone else having this issue.

Thanks for the build. Way better that OTA VZ

Yup, tried a couple of different files. Google just won't play nice with it. Using Samsung internet for now. Probably switch to Dolphin. Have to have Samsung cloud to synch Google bookmarks. Don't need it with Dolphin. I can get rid of Samsung cloud then and get better battery life

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Bsober:
Yeah, I remembered what that app was after I sent post. Never used it. Not sure if dual speaker mod will affect it, but it's possible. Can't turn it off. Would have to reflash the Rom and make sure not to install it. I think it's the first choice
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] studiorat:
1 Verizon yes.....

2 downloaded all files in OP

3 rooted with the qc5 root file

Successful

4 Odin the BL file in the qc5 zip

Rebooted

5 flash fire checked flash bootloader, mounted system installed firmware and AP

6 wiped

7 aroma chose moderate debloat and a bunch of s8 apps

8 rebooted and set up device .....

Device rebooted by itself and repeated

I started from step 1 again and repeated numerous times.....to no avail it wouldn't stay in system long enough to complete Root therefore I could not rebooted install firmware .....Managed to get back to stock but kept rebooting ....Valled VZW got a replacement
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jagrave:
Step 4 you are suppose to Odin BL and CP file
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
I assume you started out stock verizon QC5 firmware and rooted You must be on stock verizon firmware not Ufirm

You then need to flash BL and CP file in Odin obviously if your on Stock Verizon QC5 firmware then you already have the QC5 BL and CP files but I add this step for people that may be on earlier Verizon firmware

In flashfire you addVZW_HYBRID_PLAYSTORE_BS_FREE_NoNaMe_QC5_V4.zip mount system I have you choose zip first even though it will flashfire will automatically flash it second but choosing it first supersu will not automatically be injected

Add the firmware AP_Modified_QC5_Nougat_System_Firmware_For_VZW.tar .md5 to flash and select all 4 partitons to flash (system-persist-boot-recovery) Flashfire will automatically set this to flash first.

you do not wipe after you flash AP or before AP you only add a wipe to end of the sequence and only choose to wipe dalvik, cache, format cache and wipe super su image do dont choose to wipe system or data files

The FlashFire Flash order is AP first Zip second and Wipe last

In aroma you must choose verizon stock as your variant and full wipe is recommended
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
It may be ad blocking causing it not to work if its not the speaker mod as mentioned earlier

If I try to play a video in anything except the YouTube app it loads some of the video and starts playing but the time counter never moves and after about 10 seconds of video the video pauses and starts going at 1 frame every few seconds.
