[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I agree that it is very light and responsive out of the box, but we aren't talking about stock vs. stock at this point. Both are heavily debloated and tweaked. Since jrkruse developed, tested, and updates both the U-firm ROM and VZW QC5 ROM for the Edge, I find it best to take his word on the final results. The simplicity of the U-firmware is what I enjoy the most about it. Also, that's the only ROM I was able to boot without the root kernel, so it'd be a much easier starting point to figure out the known issues when bringing it over to the S7 Flat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
Fair enough, could you explain how to use the flat kernel with the QD2 rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
First download the latest U-firmware for the S7 Flat. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195899426

...I was going to give more instructions on what to do, but I realized the ROM has been updated since I played with it last, and I'm not sure what is in the ROM at this point. I wouldn't recommend a kernel swap until I look at what's being flashed in the newest version first. I wouldn't want someone to brick their phone because other firmware for the Edge is being flashed. Let me look it over first before I potentially explain how to make a brick lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Keirnan.Q.:
Just a tip

Don't keep Odin open when you run root.bat, it runs and your phone detects the root, even though it doesn't restart your phone, which stops the root from working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I wonder what causes this for you, but it doesn't cause any issues for me. When I'm testing ROM's, I want to get my phone back to working order as fast as possible, so I always have multiple instances of Odin open. Odin takes forever to verify AP files, so I keep one instance of Odin open with AP already verified and ready to flash, and I keep one running with the root kernel ready to flash. This way if I bootloop, I can immediately Odin flash the AP file, or all four depending on what I'm doing, then reboot into download mode and go to the other Odin window to flash the root kernel, then click root.bat. When I'm testing ROM's like this one, I can easily bootloop my phone 10 times in short order before I get the files right, so those Odin windows are precious to me lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
And here I've been doing it the long, slow way for years. I'm going to remember this trick on my next flash session!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Keirnan.Q.:
It worked for me before with Odin open, but then when I tried last time it wouldn't work until I closed odin. I think its probably just caused by a ADB confliction, where the daemon needs to restart. I've been having similar issues with helium and ADB and Android Studio. Maybe it's just some bug in my phones files. Its sometimes keeps most of my user data on internal even when I choose to clear it during a bootload/flash. right now I'm pretty sure it's using my SD card as my main storage for app data, but that might just be because I used smart switch to back up to external. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Gon Rouge:
How do you turn off secure boot? I have a Verizon Galaxy S7, and do I need to get a certain Gapps file to flash with the rom or is it included?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gunz.jones:
The Rom doesn't require gapps as it actually is just a debloating script and customizer for the stock files from Samsung since we can't actually use aosp or similar style roms that would require gapps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Gon Rouge:
Does it already have the play store? Would you need gapps to download google apps such as Youtube, Play Store, Google+?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gunz.jones:
Everything that comes in the stock Rom is in this because it uses the sick files. All Google apps that come in the stock setup are there unless you choose to uninstall them. Same.with the galaxy apps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Gon Rouge:
So how do I disable secure boot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] JediDru:
Lock Screen and Security----->Secure startup

Thats the pathway on 930U nougat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Gon Rouge:
Dumb question, but does this rom have root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
The ROM itself is not rooted so it can use the factory kernel and pass SafetyNet. You can root it with the root kernel, but performance will ultimately suffer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] EazyVG:
Dear Dev,

Thanks for the positive replies, which is highly appreciated. But, after long tinkering, and particularly seeing that even after one year the bootloader on Snapdragon is a b***h, I went and got myself Exynos version.

Kudos to all Devs here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I got the newest U-firm ROM to boot on the Flat and it's so smooth. The WiFi password issue is no longer present. I'm going to keep testing it throughout the day and I'll post it up if everything stays in check. I bootlooped a ton before I finally got it to work. I'll also re-write the instructions for the ROM when I upload it. I'll give everyone a heads up by saying no matter what I did, I could not get it to boot without completely wiping data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Gon Rouge:
I'm currently on the stock Nougat february 1st 2017 security patch rooted. Would It be better to not flash any custom rom and keep root as-is, or install the custom rom then root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Theroose:
What are the benefits of updating the ROM. I feel like I want to stay where I am right now, but if there are any major changes I might update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Honestly, I'd give it a try without root for awhile to give it a fair chance. I have always rooted every phone I had as soon as possible, but I enjoy this series of ROM's without root due to it's performance. If you absolutely need to have root, then root after flashing.

This is a loaded question. I don't know what version you are currently on or which you are considering updating to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Theroose:
Im just wondering what are the added tweaks, if any, of the newest version since the last version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Theroose:
I thought someone said that it would lag real bad if you did root. How bad is it? Is it any worse then being rooted on stock nougat rom?[/QUOTE]

I recommend installing kernel auditor since it will get rid of the lag almost entirely. I am running it rooted with system UI mods and it lags pretty bad on start up, but once the kernel auditor applies the settings of changing the governers to ondemand the lag subsides.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
You'll have to check out jrkruse thread in the Verizon S7 Edge forum. I did not make the ROM, so I'm not familiar with all the changes. I just take jrkruse work and get it to boot on the S7 Flat. Sometimes all it takes is a kernel swap, and other times it's more in depth.

It will lag really bad when rooted compared to non-rooted, but it shouldn't be any worse than rooting the factory ROM. If anything, it will probably be smoother when rooted than the factory ROM due to a lot of background processes being debloated. The only time I root the ROM is when I need to flash an update, so I'm only rooted for a few minutes before going back to the stock kernel. As [MENTION=7870498]Theroose[/MENTION] mentioned, you can use kernel auditor to speed it up significantly. I used kernel auditor and L-Speed a lot before I stepped away from root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Theroose:
Does anyone know the main features of the UFirm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jamus28:
Awesome. Looking forward. I was hoping to know which files you replaced to get it to work.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] quantum tao:
jrkruse said he prefers his new verizon only rom over the ufirm. have you tried making that for the flat? i'm getting confused going back and forth between these threads.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I did see that he said the Verizon ROM is better than the U-firm ROM, but I have not been able to get that ROM to successfully boot on the Flat yet. I have tried modifying a few files to get it to work, but I've had no luck yet. At one point, I did get it to boot using the root kernel only. I believe the issue lies with the method of it being flashed. That particular ROM does not require flashing the AP file prior to the ROM, which I think is causing an incompatibility issue. The method of flashing the AP file then the ROM has worked very well with a couple minor changes. He did start using this method again on the U-firm ROM and plans to continue using that method, so perhaps he'll do the same for the Verizon ROM. If that's the case and I'm correct, then a newer version of the ROM should be much easier to bring to the Flat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
Anxiously awaiting the updated instructions for the U-firm rom, any ETA? I thought it was gonna be updated yesterday. Not trying to rush you, just anxious to get off U-firm v13, only boots with the eng kernel as is and is terrible for battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I'm still testing it. I'm running into a few issues with it, but nothing severe yet. I want to make sure I don't hit any big snags before posting it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
Fair enough, thanks for all your hard work bud!

QC5 935 Firmware in 930

to make it work on my 930V, i rooted the 930 firmware, FlashFire flashed the AP QC5 for the Edge , and the Hybrid V4 for the QC5 firmware the one in the Edge thread; then i flashed with Odin the S7 Flat Kernel (the one in the OP) and succesfully booted up, on the first try (whitout having to clear data), the only issue I'm having is the fingerprint sensor not responding, and the wpp audios not playbacking, but everything else is perfect.

sorry if its a little hard to read, english is not my first language

Edit: I think the audio problem is due to the DualSpeaker Mod, but is only in whatsapp the issue i'm having
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I'll definitely look into using the Edge AP file, but the rest of what you said is the same issue I had. The flat kernel in the OP is the root kernel. I could get it to boot with the root kernel, but I can't get it to boot with the stock S7 Flat kernel. The root kernel is most likely the cause of your fingerprint sensor issue. The dual speaker mod is the cause of audio issues within certain apps and browsers, including Google Chrome browser.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] KChajchir:
Sorry, I meant the stock kernel that's inside the 930 Firmware zip in the OP (it's a .tar.md5.tar file that has the boot and recovery files), i flashed it after the Edge QC5 AP and Edge Hybrid V4

Give it a try, this is extracted from About Phone

Baseband Version:

G930VVRU4BQA4

Kernel Version:

3.18.31

dpi@SWDE2205#1

Thu Feb 2 19:50:05 KST 2017

Build Number:

NRD90M.G935VVRU4BQC5

And the problem with the fingerprint sensor appeared after I flashed the Edge Hybrid, because I have been using until now the Edge AP with the Flat Hybrid since V7 and I never had any kind of problem

I really don't see why we don't use the AP from the Edge, it allows the use of the Edge Screen, and works like a charm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I figured out what you were referring to. You are talking about the firmware zip in the old ROM portion of the OP, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I have some ideas of why the fingerprint sensor isn't working, but you need to answer the question in my previous post first. I think it's still related to the kernel, but not the root kernel that I originally assumed.

As for not flashing the Edge AP, it was mostly due to space and time. The Flat AP file has worked well, except for lack of Edge screen stuff, so I didn't see the need to take the severe amount of time to get the Edge firmwares from Sammobile at the time lol.

At some point I'll play with the QC5 ROM with the Edge AP file. If all goes well, I'll upload it all as a package.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] KChajchir:
Yes! That's it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Did you flash the QC5 BL and CP with Odin first? If not, what firmware were you on before flashing the QC5 ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] KChajchir:
I didn't think about it, I thought that no change was necessary... In terms of BL and CP

I was on QC1, that one worked flawlessly without changing the BL... I should flash the QC5 BL and CP, but the Flat ones? Or either one? if the only thing that changes between flat and edge phones is the screen
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Mismatched kernel and firmware might be causing your issue. You are more than likely running a TMobile Flat QC1 bootloader, with TMobile Flat QB1 recovery, with a Verizon Edge QC5 baseband booting on the TMobile Flat QB1 kernel.

The Edge firmware may be similar, but I doubt it is the same. There are several file sizes that are different between the Flat and Edge within the BL and CP partitions. I haven't tried, but I don't think Odin would let you flash Edge files to the Flat. If you decide to update the BL and CP, you would use the Verizon Flat files, but I don't know if you should since it is booting normally. The TMobile QC1 bootloader probably allows the old QB1 kernel to boot without issue, and the baseband doesn't care what kernel it's running on as long as it is compatible. If you were to flash the QC5 BL and CP, I highly doubt the Verizon bootloader would let the old TMobile kernel run, and you would more than likely end up bootlooping.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] KChajchir:
So, I'm just having luck jajajajajaja I'm going to flash it again, I'm just not sure what BL Yet... If everything goes well, I'll share it over here

Thanks a lot, you are a genius man
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I wouldn't say genius, because we don't know if I'm right yet lol. Whichever bootloader you decide to flash, go with the Flat version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] KChajchir:
One last thing, where can I get the QC5 Flat stock kernel for flashing, whitout​ the AP File
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Someone would have to extract it from the AP file and make an Odin flashable kernel. I've been meaning to do this as well. I don't have any of the files with me at the moment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Wizard Prang:
Does anyone know if this works on G930VVRU4BQA4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] mcvoss:
Yes, I was on QA4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] KChajchir:
Nailed it

So, after a couple of hours, my S7 is running VZW Hybrid V4 Edge flawlessly

You was right about the issue, so what I did was this

I downloaded the QC5 Firm for the flat, extracted boot and recovery images, created a tar.md5 odin flashable package

Odin flashed BL, CP, AP, and HOME_CSC

Odin flashed EngKernel, rooted

Flashfire flashed AP QC5 for the Edge (I suppose if you are not going to use the Edge version this is redundant), and the Hybrid zip (I choosed to do a wipe, just in case)

Recovery error as expected...

Odin flashed the boot and recovery.tar.md5

Booted up right away

If not using the Edge AP, I would still flash boot and recovery from the stock flat firm at the end (Maybe this is innecesary but i dont know if the hybrid flashes boot and recovery)

I can confirm that everything behaves like it should, the only problem it's still some audio due to the DualSpeaker Mod

And all the Edge funtions are working like a charm

I don't have that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
It can't be done. Viper needs a script to run, which can only be executed by root, and this ROM is not rooted. You can root the ROM and install it yourself if that's what you want.

Whoops. I forgot that I'm still testing the U-firmware and I'm not currently on this ROM lol. Sorry about that. I don't know where it is in this ROM off the top of my head.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] 3m-ta3:
Hey guys.

Just followed the guide on installing this rom on my flat s7 and everything was perfect including rom control - right up until I put my phone in my gearvr and installed the oculus apps that's required. After doing so systemui fc and no way back out.

FWIW, I tried a reboot. I tried wiping cache and dalvik and reboot, and I tried a factory reset - absolutely nothing worked to bring it back.

I know for a fact that gearvr/oculus apps all work on stock/rooted qa2 because I had gone that route a while back... I did an exhaustive search in this thread and the original s7 edge thread for gear vr/oculus and it appears that I'm the only gearvr user on this rom.

So [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] - something in your systemui doesn't play nice with oculus apps. I'm going to start over by odin to stock qc5, root, flashfire and then in aroma I'll choose the non rom control version and report back if there's another fc in systemui, but I can't imagine that if we know it works ok on stock/rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] ikoyhn:
I have tried to flash this ROM 3 times now, everytime I do it I get to the Aroma Installer, select the settings I want, then finish, but once it tries to boot up again it says that "This phone has unauthorized software please contact your provider......"
