It DOES NOT say they can't be used together, only the L speed GovTuner. The app itself can be used with GovTuner.

When you reboot things tend to get refreshed and reset to default, im not sure why... maybe its because this mod is supposed to be used with a custom recovery mod.. which we can't apply. But that being the case i would Enable SuperSU during boot in SuperSU settings...also Enable multi-users and that works for me.. but check often because it likes to reset and im not sure why. Everything that includes modifications towards this firmware root seems unstable and complicated.. but I personally, don't think that will last very long. If your profile keeps saying inactive you must set the profile again...

I told you guys to download Init'd Toggler at the beginning because i didn't want Kernel Adiutor conflicting with GovTuner, which it might. So initially when using that App+SELinuxModeChanger it establishes the permissive mode... but after installing/modifying the tuner+L speed, they get configured and Init.d Toggler is no longer needed because the Kernel App has the same presets you could say. I am not an expert at this and this isn't my personal tutorial! I can tell you only as much as i know or witness. But the Init.d needs to be emulated[running/configuring] in Kernel Adiutor's setting icon [top right]. Turning it from disabled to enabled, then you can uninstall the Init.d Toggler. Also when rebooting/restarting phone... try using this process IF the profile does not stick... to make sure everything runs correctly:

Kernel Adiutor> Init.d enabled/emulated

SELinuxModeChanger>Permissive

Terminal Emulator>Su>govtuner>3 ( or w/e profile you desire)

Restart to see if it stuck after changing SuperSU settings. The Init.d will never read active in terminal emulator because we are using 3rd-party applications... so don't worry about the red status. Hope this makes sense and you find a work-around. This root doesn't seem to make everyone happy but it's all personal preference and likeability. Without this mod, meaning GovTuner, the eng boot will not satisfy your needs and you will be upset with this root.

After looking into it, I found that 3.8 had not put the init.d file in place. So I installed the new version and it seems to be much better. Also, I noticed that my lspeed settings had reset to their defaults. Not sure why.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] hotelmariofan:
This seems to fix the above issue. GovTuner now sticks between reboots, regardless of init.d emulation in Kernel Adiutor. Should I disable the emulator in Adiutor now, or does it make no difference? Either way, GovTuner seems to be active and in the correct profile between reboots, but when the init.d emulator is enabled in Adiutor, init.d shows as "ACTIVE" in GovTuner, while it does not when disabled. Seems to make no difference, but I'm curious if it's redundant and potentially unsafe. Thanks.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Mast3rZero:
Followed all new instructions and got it working fine. I did notice after there is still a slight lag/hang here and there but I think it's the speed swap app doing that cause it happened more often after I installed it. Also friendly reminder if you use snapchat make sure to sign in before you root or you won't be able to after. I made a backup after the root in case I get signed out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] DAE51D:
If I ODIN that new boot image .md5 file over my existing one (as I have now from the "old method") do I have to re-run through all the other setups again (re-run govtuner? etc). I'm also on QAA -- does that matter? I presume the boot image is agnostic to the QAA or QC1 then?

And you also say, "I have found this new root is better off without Lspeed nor Kernel Aduitor apps. I think this was slowing the phone down more." So do I just uninstall those apps or do I have to reset something else? It's taken me a long time to get all my apps re-installed (and their data), my folders, backgrounds, sounds, screen layouts, etc... I really don't want to wipe and re-flash and start all over if I don't have to especially since...

...I don't know what changed, but re-running the new govtuner 4.0.1 and re-applying a few of the settings as per this post here really seemed to make a difference on my "old method" installation. I've only been playing with it about an hour or so, but it's very noticeably more responsive! woo hoo!

Hice el foro y mi dispositivo de reinicia a cada momento ayuda
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] hotelmariofan:
I had completed the old method, then just now flashed the new boot image. I'm on QC1. As for L-Speed and Aduitor, I just uninstalled the apps. Seems to work out just fine. So I now just have GovTuner running with init.d toggler though I'm not positive if this is the best way to do it.

Edit:

Why does GovTuner still show init.d as inactive if I've enabled it in Init.d Toggler? Does that qualify as emulating with a third party app, causing it to not show as active?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Incorrect. This app will do the opposite of slowing your phone down.

First I would uninstall L Speed if you have it. *If ROOTED* AFTER powering up into recovery mode and wipe cache partition, reboot into bootloader and flash Nougat_S7_Edge_EngBoot.tar.md5 through AP in ODIN. You don't have to flash stock but its always best to start off clean. But seems like its working for you let us know ;)

In Govtuner run profile you would like again (1,2,3) enter and close window after 5 seconds. If you want extreme performance but battery drain, after selecting profile in Govtuner type g enter,For little core: 1 enter, 6 enter. DO it again but this time g enter, For Big Core: 2 enter, 6 enter. Close window after 5 seconds.

He intentado preguntarle qué firmware usted estaba encendido antes de destellar. Necesito saber esta información para que pueda ayudar a que su dispositivo no se reinicie cada vez. Creo que es posible que no disabed cada aplicación porque eso le sucederá al dispositivo. Intente comenzar de nuevo y deshabilitar las aplicaciones correctas.

That is the best way for me, idk for others. As long as it says Enabeld in Init.d Toggler after applying the setting, the status in govtuner is irrelevant.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] TheOddTaco:
is disabling Samsung dm service okay? Since I'm getting a "Checking device status" notification when I reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Definitely not, thats the service that makes this root possible. Can you clarify when you say reboot?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] TheOddTaco:
Everytime you turn on the phone the DM service "Checking Device Status" pops up on the status bar. I'm guessing the only way getting rid of the notification is force stopping it, but it should pop up again when u reboot it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Mast3rZero:
I tried this and it didn't work out very well. I'm on QC1 now and I definitely notice the difference. I also had a lot a files that I had to reorganize but it was well worth it. No more random 3 min freezes for no reason :svetius:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Try starting over..you shouldnt have any errors.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] DAE51D:
So that I understand. You're saying you were on QAA with the old method, then tried to flash the new engineering boot but you had problems?

So you then just went back to stock QAA, upgraded to QC1, and re-rooted fresh again?

Would you say it's significantly better on QC1 with this new root than QAA then? Do you still notice any anomalies or slow-downs or anything? Also what settings did you choose for the GovTuner? How is your battery life?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Mast3rZero:
Yes I was on QAA then fresh flashed QC1 then rooted with the new method. For performance I definitely notice a difference. It still does slow down every once in a while but it recovers way faster then previously. When opening anything that uses the camera slows the phone down a good amount. On govtuner I have the performance profile on. The battery is dying faster from what I noticed, I can't really say how much faster.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] hotelmariofan:
A note on GovTuner, when selecting a profile (e.g. battery, balanced, or performance), it sticks between reboots. However, any changes made to the Governor for "big" or "LITTLE" resets back to interactive between reboots.

Quick question guys to unroot, i would need QAA : AP, CSC and CP, correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Mast3rZero:
You can just run the " unroot.exe. " from the root zip folder. Also I think SU has a option to fully unroot.

I have a problem guys. I used the listed root method, It worked. I got to using the Boot.bat, which worked but the phones response got slower and slower and now I am at a black screen and it doesn't respond to anything because of the slow response time. I cant get it to do anything. I dont know if its on or frozen. Id like to start over but I cant get the phone to respond to anything. Any ideas? I dont think its bricked, my computer still recognizes the phone some what at this point. I need some help

Edit: I was able to get it to reboot with volume down and power. Thanks XDA

On a side note, can we flash the Mother Of All Ad Blockers in flash fire? Anyone try it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] izzibew26:
For what it's worth-

I was rooted on QAA, wanted to try something on stock so i flashed the QAA stock with home_csc to retain my apps. before flashing stock i went in and changed my efs/imei/mps_code.dat to lowercase basically to nullify it i suppose( tip came from another xda thread )

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69767241&postcount=3

When i booted back up after returning to stock i no longer had wifi-calling but the native video calling and my APNs were completely editable without the need for the MSL. you just go to view and you can edit it right there. Just thought i'd throw that out there and see if anyone wanted to play with it. So, basically if you root, change the mps_code.dat with any text editor to simply lowercase, flash stock with home csc, edit the APNs to your liking(add dun to your apns). that's when you get your tethering. then to get back to normal (unless you want to keep video calling instead of wifi calling) flash eng boot, root and change the file back to SPR, and re-flash stock with csc_home. this will give you stock with free tethering. you can continue with rooting again from that point just by flashing the boot image and running the root.bat.

I hope that was easy enough to get the point across. this also keeps the APNs through OTA update.

*I have not checked using the normal csc file when flashing as i don't want to set up my apps again* I'll probably toss up another thread if anyone has questions it should be in our guide section soon.

So on the latest (QC1) with the new root method, I ran ANTUTU and here are the results. Never done it before, so I don't know if this score is good, but see below.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Well it says amazing ;)

On another note:

For those of you with Viper4Android, if status shows disabled in Driver Status under menu, flash ViPER4Android_2.5.0.5_guitardedhero.zip again by mounting to system.

Govtuner:

For ultimate performance involving speed and tasking, at entering profile prompt in govtuner, type "i" followed by enter and change value to 10. Close out of all windows.

I personally use ondemand profiles for my cpus, but this is frowned upon. You can change this by typing "g" in enter profile prompt. Typing 1 to change little core, followed by 3. Do this process again but change big core by entering g,2,3. Close out of all terminal windows. These cpu profiles will reset when rebooted and I do not recommend changing these profiles to performance because of battery drainage!!! Updated topic.

Are you using the same L-Speed settings as the OP has in the first post?

What about any of the other apps like Init.d Toggler, SELinuxModeChanger, Speed Up Swap and anything else?

---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

I have a question... I basically only need(ed) root to get my apps and data from my rooted Note 4 to my S7 Edge. Now that I've done that, can i just flash the stock ROM back and stock bootloader back and get the full speed / benefits / android pay / samsung pay / etc. without losing my apps, data, setup, background, wifi/BT connections, etc. or will I have to wipe the phone if I go back to stock? THEN similarly, could I just flash the bootloader and re-root as needed to perform TitaniumBackups periodically (tedious AF I realize, but if I only do it once a month or something, maybe not so bad. Also presuming I don't upgrade from QC1 or whatever the latest 'rootable' ROM is at the time). At least until (hopefully) a solid root comes out that doesn't degrade performance as God intended :-p ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] quantemplation:
I'm not sure about flashing just the original boot by itself, or if I am I've forgotten, but I believe it'd wipe your system. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

So I remember when I tried unrooting to be able to log back into Snapchat. I unchecked enable root in supersu and rebooted. One thing I noticed was that the general lagginess was gone (this was on the old eng boot), and I definitely no longer had root. And I basically just had to rerun root.bat to get root back (you can go back to my earlier post if you're interested in all what I did in that regard).

(As a side note, that method still didn't let me log in. I ended up using my S5 I had lying around to log in then restore data. It's possible that a full unroot would've worked too.)

Edit: just realized that side note is pertinent to what you're asking. Yes, just unchecking enable root will *most likely* not allow those apps to function. I'm starting to become interested in whether the full unroot feature would make them work.

I didn't do the full unroot option, but if you're interested in doing that, I believe there are some posts mentioning it as an option, though I'd recommend trying to find them before launching in since I have no experience using it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Idk bud, could be how many apps you have installed. The correct way to maintain life for a battery is to charge it right. Meaning to let your phone die completely, then fully charge before using. Of course we don't have time for that but cmon our batteries suck and we know it. The new AP is modified intensively it's not going to be perfect. I get around 1.7 gb when idling.

Put auto-brightness on and move scroll, Remove AMOLED Display. Turn off All Advanced features except onetouch camera. Any direct sharing or nearby device searching. Go to developer options, all the way at bottom set Limit background processes to 4 and that should help..If you dont already have it.

Also I figured i flash S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip with flashfire and see what happens. The flash went perfect and i could see an improvement in tasking/speed. Try it.

So I come across this thread and my ? is do u have to remove sim when doing this procedure some threads with MM root method said to remove sim cause eng bootloader wiped my sim out so never obtained data or phone info and i know all about package disabler and freezing apps and gov setting and did all that even tried odin back to stock while rooted and even that method would'nt work but my concern is if will wipe sim card. Thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
The answer is no when it comes to what i think you're asking. If you're carrier is Sprint then why would it be formatted? Why removed? I honestly can't even open my sim card/sd tray.

I think when you remove the sim card is when you're rotating carriers. That would be weird if what I'm saying is false. Technically if doing this root process works for you, 1 file was touched. Its following the method hand in hand without jumping to mistakes is what makes this safe.
