since i just saw this question in another roms thread.. im going to warn people to not answer... this is trolling.

flash and find out for yourself, and stop asking the same question in multiple rom threads
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] tedkord:
Sorry to be a PITA. Do I need to flash modems? My data speed is in the tank since I flashed QF2 hybrid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Yes if changing something once Rom is installed you can just flash rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ubigred:
Thanks. Do I select all partitions or just flash without touching anything else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
You can just flash the zip only choose no wipe. This is only on this Rom Ufirm and other variants must flash AP. It's always a good idea too do so on this Rom also but it is not necessary. If you change from s8 apps or vice versa you may get app fc so you would need to clear data on fc apps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] kpirnie:
since you're a "senior member" you should know better.

read the threads. flash... test for yourself.

my mileage on one rom will be completely different than yours would be on the same rom. i use my phone differently than you do.

and yeah... posting the same exact question in multiple forums mate... not cool

I had a smart switch issue a while back on an older release of this Rom, I learned my lesson and just wipe all and reinstall via play store , It cuts down on corrupt app data being restored to your device.....Its a bit tedious especially when I gave 76 or so Apps that I use almost every day .....I do however keep the files created within said apps on my sd and restore with the Fresh install of any particular app such as Memos or calendars or Document type apps,

I have a bit if a newb question,

considering there is a TWRP RECOVERY floating around on the interwebs (if you will)... for release that is working on the snapdragon variants of the S8 with locked bootloader is there a chance we the S7 edge or flat users can install on this Rom Since it's S8 based

Just curious

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Blade22222:
From what I read custom recovery is just for Chinese models that have a unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] studiorat:
I read this which is why I asked

Snapdragon variants are more locked down and while most Snapdragon Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ models have yet to receive an official bootloader unlock method, official
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] DildoMaster:
What I do after a new ROM install is root, restore with titanium backup, re-flash ROM without a wipe to unroot. Saves a lot of time.

Hey [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION], would you happen to know where I could change the setting to switch to WiFi calling below a certain service threshold? I know this isn't an actual setting and it would need to be changed programmatically. I just don't know where this code resides. In my office, I get awful cell service and great WiFi. Evidently the cell service isn't awful enough to trigger WiFi calling, but it is awful enough to miss or drop the call. I'm assuming there is an algorithm that states if cell service is below a threshold of xxx, then route calls through WiFi. I want to change that threshold to a higher unit, so that WiFi calling will trigger when cell service is low. I've searched the forums like crazy trying to figure it out, and a ton of Verizon users across many devices have this issue, but nobody can point me in the right direction. Do you have any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Wish I knew. Just use the Rom control and phone testing menu and turn off cell radio. Then it will have to use WiFi calling
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Magnus_CA:
I'm having a similar issue with video outside of YouTube. I find that most videos I attempt to play in Chrome or Facebook just sit there on the first frame after I hit play. Eventually I get a message 'If playback doesn't begin shortly try restarting your device' and soon after audio will start but the video stays frozen.

I do have the dual speaker mod enabled, which I love. It seems at least one person had this problem without the mod enabled. Any chance it's something else causing it? I have reinstalled YouTube and Chrome to no avail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
This has been addressed many time. It's the dual speaker mod that causes the problem

Would it be possible to root the QF2 hybrid rom, remove a couple of stock apps then unroot? The point being keeping my setup and not having to start over again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
All that can be done with adb without rooting. I have guides and files in this thread and others
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] DildoMaster:
BSFREE. Everything else is up to you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] tedkord:
Just to be sure

1) Flash the engboot with Odin in AP slot.

2) remove what I want using adb

3) flash AP_Modified_QF2_Nougat_System_Firmware_For_VZW.tar.md5 with Odin in AP slot.

4) For good measure, boot into recovery and wipe cache.

Is that the plan? Thanks.

Also, can I just do command line from terminal emulator on my phone to delete the files?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Yes to adb no too terminal
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jsminnis:
Please don't remove the dual speaker mod. I always flash the dual speaker mod then I flash the arise sound mod, but the only thing I flash from it is to remove the deep buffer and then chrome works fine. I don't flash the core module or anything, just remove deep buffer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] brentsten:
I searched, but didn't find anything in the latest builds. Visual voicemail is pre-installed with the rom, but I can't view or play any messages from within the app. The only option it shows is to call voicemail (*86).

Is this a common problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
It requires the VzW SSO did you disable or delete it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] 000Nick:
So when we flash the modified image, engboot is removed and so is all traces of root, without wiping the system (which would result in loss of modifications)?

So when I'm rooted, could I for example edit a few system files and push a modified camera apk, then do the rest of the tutorial for a full unroot? And Samsung Pay/KNOX/Etc. is still intact?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
No that don't work. I have files and guide how to use adb too push system files or make yourself a zip that will flash your mods and have it flash after the Rom zip in flashfire

Great rom! flashed as per op instructions. today for some reason I was not receiving calls? texts working fine but phone wouldn't show someone calling me. anyone else have this issue? I just did a restart and im receiving calls again. idk. weird
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Goto Rom control and phone testing menu and change system to lte/cdma then reboot then it shouldn't happen again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] brentsten:
No, I didn't.

I logged into the MyVerizon app and it doesn't need to re-authenticate whenever I reopen it, but still having the voicemail issue.

Is the SSO something I can push over ADB?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
Did you clear data on voicemail app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] brentsten:
Tried force closing, clearing data and finally reinstalling. Nothing seems to work.

It knows whether or not I have new voicemails, there just isn't an option to playback through the app.

So I did all the steps and my phone has been doing the boot animation for like 30 minutes what should I do?

You can try to flash eng boot in odin and see if it will boot then you can reroot and try again If not odin back full QF2 verizon firmware and reroot.

Place your stuff on internal storage and flash from there this time

I'd be interested in this deep buffer fix, but I can't find a good link for it. I'll admit that I didn't search very long, but I also don't know whereabouts it would be on XDA to narrow the search.

Yes. No problems getting full 4G service.

I'll try updating to the V2 rom and see if it fixes itself.

You flash this zip in flash fire in line after the rom.

Choose flash modules only in aroma (do not flash system)

Then choose the deep buffer romoval mod

When you reboot chrome will work with dual speaker mod.

This could be changed in the rom itself by removing any lines that say deep buffer in the system/etc/audio_policy.conf file.

I just prefer to flash the aroma zip since it has been working for several builds. But I would love it if jrkruse added this to his rom.

Here's a link to the exact file I use https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767141554
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jrkruse:
I'll look into this. I would think you would need to remove deep buffer config from the audio_policy config file in the system/vendor/etc folder then remove deep buffer flag from the system/etc/audio_policy config file. I'll look into this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jsminnis:
This may be true, I do seem to remember doing this as well, I was just going off of memory. Thank you for looking into it.

I, for one, would be most grateful, especially since you don't even have this model of phone any longer, yet continue to graciously provide support.

On another note, I have a couple of issues for the community to ponder:

1. I have an SView case/cover and notice that the AOD (Always-On Display) clock is no longer centered in the display window with the cover closed. I am pretty certain that choosing the S8 AOD is the culprit, but wanted others to be aware when making this choice during installation.

2. When I try to pin a Google Maps widget to a home screen page, it fails and crashes TouchWiz. I have a feeling that the modified SystemUI could have something to do with it, but I am wondering if anyone here has more insight? I would take the customization over the widgets, but if it's possible to have both, I'd be curious how to accomplish it. Can any of you use any of the Google Maps widgets and, if so, could I trouble you to recall the installation preferences that got you there? Thank you all!

Samsung has removed adoptable storage from their version of Android, so you can't set it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ubigred:
Just curious, will there be a V3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Str8Pryd:
I don't speak from experience, so please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, the dual speaker mod enhances the audio of the phone by utilizing both the normal speaker at the bottom of the phone as well as the ear speaker at the top, but selecting this option causes web browsers, such as Chrome, to stop playing audio. Flashing the module to remove the deep buffer will reputedly correct this symptom. As far as I know, most of the other A.R.I.S.E. modules or options wouldn't work anyway, as most audio modifications require root access to work.

TL;DR: If you select the dual speaker mod option during installation, you need to clear the deep buffer in order to have audio playback within web browsers.

Hello all, great ROM! This is the ONLY one that I have found that does not have a lag at all, thanks for that!

2 Things real quick:

1. I've searched this thread, but cannot find out if I can dirty flash from V1 to V2, is this possible? If so, what would be the order?

2. This may not be an issue in V2 anymore, or it may be me, but I have found on this ROM that I cannot watch video within any browser, it acts like it is going to work, you hit play, then it just sits there. Any other apps but browsers seem to work, any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Bsober:
You chose dual speaker mod. Read just the last few pages here to catch up. There's no need to flash v2. There's nothing new in it you need. Reflash V1 without dual speaker mod.

You can't. Data has to be wiped in order to pass safetynet (to make Samsung Health work). Best to backup and restore, if you need to. I always just start fresh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Reco] bschuster:
Much appreciated, and I agree, I don't mind wiping, but the only reason I don't like to so often is because I use RSA tokens since I work in IT and use VPN a lot for customers, and the customers get upset when I keep asking to get a new token...lol.
