[Remix OS for PC] Anna_Becker:
Well I am very pleased with Remix OS. It's fast, reliable and verylightweight. It runs smoothly on a very old dual core desktop PC

My only problem with that is that my GPU (Radeon HD 3650) is overheating even in idle mode. Usually on windows the average temperature is 40-48 Celsius. But when I run Remix OS I hear too much noise from the GPU's fan which means that it is probably working at 100%.

I downloaded the CPUID Hardware Monitor from Play Store to measure the heat of the graphics card. It showed 68-70 Celsius which is a very high value. The temp stays in that high level no matter if I run an application, a game or if Remix OS stays idle on desktop screen.

I noticed that Remix OS doesn't even use the GPU because the utilization is always idle no matter which android application I use.But there was no problem at all games perfomance. They all run at a very good framerate. Probably Remix OS uses the CPU to render graphics.

But my main problem is that 78-70 Celsius is a very high temperature for this Graphics card. I like Remix OS a lot but I don't want to destroy my Graphics Card.

Is there any android application that I can use to cool down the GPU or ever disable it completely when I run Remix OS? Can I modify any configuration or boot file of Remix OS in order to disable the GPU?

Please help me if you can :)
[Remix OS for PC] mitchell4you:
Hmm... why not add some more cooling (or airflow) to GPU..

If you disable the 3650... by using kernel, it would still get power and heat up (also no picture...or do you have a onboard GPU ? )

I had to turn off "Dont keep activities" off to make it work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
If you flashed the eng kernel, then you are already halfway to root. All you gotta do is run root.bat lol. You must have chosen T-Mobile, because it will boot without the eng kernel on Verizon. I haven't played with the T-Mobile side of it.

It's funny that people want to root this, as the point of it is to modify the system without being rooted, allowing you to run the factory kernel and pass SafetyNet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] dclutter1:
Fyi, I definitely chose Verizon during the installation and I had to flash the eng kernel to get it to boot as well.

Other than that, so far so good!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Something is wrong.

1) Did you flash ALL AP partitions in FlashFire?

2) Did you choose to wipe all data, including SU?

3) Did you download the zip I linked or the one from jrkruse thread.

4) Did you flash the BL, AP, and CP with Odin prior to doing any of this.

I flashed this zip multiple times before uploading it and didn't have to flash the eng kernel to boot afterwards. I'm running the stock kernel, which is embedded in the zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
It will be even faster when it boots on the factory kernel lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] dclutter1:
So is one of the attached files the factory kernel or do I need to get that from somewhere else?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
If you choose not to wipe data in Aroma, then your device ID should be preserved. Just to be safe, root the phone and do a full Titanium Backup. Then go through all the instructions starting at step 1, and choose not to wipe data in Aroma. If anything goes wrong, then you can restore your backup and reapply the ROM.

Yes

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] rmickey:
So I have read the full thread (and have rooted My S5 and Galaxy Nexus) but since I don't have experience with Aroma I need to confirm a couple of things in this non-rooted state:

1. Does the native Hotspot have the entitlement check removed from it (I am a grandfathered Unlimited Data user)?

2. If I need to reset my phone (but keep all the customization) what process should I use? when rooted, I just backup in recovery and restore - not sure for this method.

3. If I want to revert back to stock, is there a thread / instructions we can follow on how to do it?

4. If another OTA option is available, will I get nagged to accept it (and if so, how do I avoid that)?

Ultimately, I want to use this phone as my Daily Driver but need to know how to handle
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I can't guarantee it as I haven't used Titanium Backup in awhile, but I have been keeping data through flashes without issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
1) "Working Hotspot For Unlimited Data Customers" There are a few users on the grandfathered plan that are hotspotting on this ROM.

2) When you say keep customizations, do you mean modifications or your personal data?

3) The root and return to stock thread has instructions for this. You would Odin flash all four files of the current build.

4) OTAs will not show up, so you'll never see a popup.

This ROM is used as my daily driver, and it handles just like a stock phone, except much faster and smoother.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] rmickey:
Thanks a bunch, I thought the statement in the OP for #1 was applicable, just wanted to clarify if it skipped the entitlement check (that was how it had been worded in previous rooting exercises).

The "Modifications" I was referring to was all the de-bloat, Hotspot, etc that you gain with the customizations over the stock Nougat. My assumptions were that they would all stay if I did a typical "Factory Data Reset" within Android settings (or a Wipe Data within recovery).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Since the mods are within the system, they should all stick when doing a factory data reset, but I haven't performed one to confirm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
The latest ROM is posted in the OP. The install instructions are the same. If you are already on QC1, then start at step 3, and you can choose not to wipe data in Aroma. It has the build.prop changed to read G930V instead of G935V. Also, it has some UI mods/themes that can be installed in Aroma.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] appye:
Well ... I am now happy with my phone. I have not had any problems crop so far since I flashed it last weekend. I am thinking i am going to stay with what I have (my modified v7) for now, at least until I either get the bug to reflash with the newer mods or to upgrade to a newer firmware. Hopefully we will be seeing 7.1 or something in the future...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I can confirm I'm not fully passing SafetyNet either, but apps like PoGO still work. I posted in the Edge forum to see if they are having issues as well. If they aren't having issue, then perhaps it has to do with something I changed in the build.prop for the flat.

As for running warm/hot, I can't confirm that. Another user said they were having lag issues, but my phone is running very cool and snappy since I updated. Did you happen to keep root in Aroma? This version will flash the root kernel if you decide to keep root. Anyone else having heat or lag issues that didn't choose to keep root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Some apps use SafetyNet to check if a device is rooted/modified. These apps tend to be related to banking or money transfer, like Android Pay for instance. There are other apps like Pokemon GO that use SafetyNet to check for mods, because we all know that catching Pokemon in augmented reality is just as important as our banking credentials. Sorry for the sarcasm, but this particular use of SafetyNet on a game erks me a lot.

I am running warm and had lag issues just trying to get through the flashfire step. I have tried doing this 3 times and only successfully made it through the steps once. When I did it still had a little lag, but the main thing I was having was system ui would crash and phone would reboot randomly. I am now trying to go back to V5 and see what happens. Had no issues running that.

**edit** Stuck in flashfire acquiring root. phone eventually locks up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
That'll happen when running the root kernel. Close all apps, then open up SuperSU. If SuperSU mentions KNOX, hit cancel. Does SuperSU give you a binaries prompt?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Just to clarify my earlier statement, I'm asking if anyone is having issues with the phone being warm and laggy ***AFTER*** the ROM is installed, not during the instructions.

Note: Heat and lag are acceptable and should be expected when using the root kernel without fixes, which is why it gets warm and laggy during the steps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] vrahn:
I didnt keep root due to seeing people saying that root made their phones laggy. Whats your experience?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
The root kernel is laggy even with fixes implemented, so I've been shying away from root for awhile. I'm running the stock kernel and have no performance or heat issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I solved the SafetyNet issue lol. Since this ROM was originally designed for the S7 Edge, all of the apps(including the systemUI) are Edge apps. When the build.prop says G930V and the systemUI says G935V, it fails SafetyNet. I'll just change the printed device name to G930V and retain G935V in all other instances in the build prop. Jrkruse is about to release a new update, so I'll include those fixes in the latest when it's released.

For weather, I'm pretty sure it's the accuweather app from the list of optional programs in aroma.

For radio, I am not familiar. VZW has never had FM radio apps on any of their phones I've owned going back to the winmo days of the touch pro 2, even when they may have had the capability..

Did you do a backup before starting the process? You may need to do a factory reset in recovery then reflash all four files in Odin. If you didn't do a backup, you can flash all four files from Verizon QA4 and that should bring it back to how it was, then do a Smart Switch backup and try again.
