So I guess I chose a version of the ROM that gives you a limited version of the camera. I wasn't on stock Nougat long enough to even see what the actual Samsung camera app looks like....but searching this thread it seems many wanted to change the camera app and many discussed installing the Samsung camera app after the fact...but I couldn't find any concrete info.

If I want the full Samsung camera app (not sure if I have the Google camera or a limited version of Samsung, mine swipes left and only shows "Auto")....do I have to flash a ROM again? If so, can I dirty flash? Is there an APK way to do this? Or some other way to get the full Samsung camera app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Theroose:
I had the same problem as you and I decided to go and do it all over again and this time I chose manual debloat and did not check the stock camera. Works fine for me now.

how does one ensure secure boot is off?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] spearoid:
Yeah, I was hoping to avoid that if possible. ROM is running beautifully and I've set everything up over the past week.

I'm guessing if there was an easier way to get the camera back someone would've posted the way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] appye:
Hmmm. With the build.prop I posted earlier, I am still passing safety net... I changed every line that differed from Jkruse's qa2 build.prop, including the lines mentioning "hero" and "hero2" ...

I am thinking the only thing I should have done differently may have been the ro.expect.recovery_id line. This may be the reason manually booting into recovery again displays the dm-verity error. All works fine though, including safety net.

Just root, flashfire the ap and new zip, then your back to business if you choose thw no wipe option. Flashing the ap removes root anyway. 15 to 20 minutes tops to get everything back or update and you only need the computer for the engboot and root.bat. I've done this to get v7 on my phone and to fix the camera on another phone.

i must say im happy now im finally on the rom and restoring my backup.

was on stock verzion nougat did first method 4 times with same results constant bootloop at first screen with unlocked mastelock symbol. so did qb1 then qc1 now works fine. before i attempted qb1 i did inital qc1 method 4 times. then 5 different ways of qc1 with same result bootloop.

Can anyone answer this? I am curious as this is the only major difference between the old and new unlimited data plan.

I am on a rooted MM rom right now, what would be the easiest way to flash this? Odin to stock Nougat then flash these files? Any help is appreciated
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Theroose:
Any news about the new update or is it already out?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
So, I was on the Straight Talk S7 MM, and was going to flash the VZW stock QA4 firmware so I could flash this rom, but Odin failed at ext4 and I realized I forgot to disable secure boot. I know this isn't rom specific, but anybody have any clue how I can recover? In recovery, it is identifying as g930v now, rather than g930vl.

Thanks for any help folks, I'm stumped at this point.

EDIT

Never mind, I fixed it by flashing the stock VZW QA4 files again, but using the regular CSC instead of the Home CSC. Now to get this rom up and running, thanks anyways folks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] appye:
My understanding from Jkruse's thread is that it does... He claimed to be at 70gb without any slowdown. I am only on 2.66gb at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] whbisondtr:
I'm fairly new to the S7, I have the SM-G930U that I flashed over to SM-G930V Nougat but I have a question. Being I flashed the SM-G930V, will this still work even though my phone is the unlocked version? TIA

EDIT: I figured wth and yep, worked great. It's a little laggy but i'll let it rest some and see how it fairs. Thanks a lot for this!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] t1gartist:
after damn near 24 hrs use must say battery even in performance mode is incredible. very smooth even with med battery saver is still considerable improvement over stock. 2 bugs noticed was one the extreme battery mode doesnt apply and wifi disconnects are still a issue. any work arounds for battery mode and wifi?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] whbisondtr:
Just saw this so forget my last statement. However, is it possible to root, remove more apps then unroot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Those Odin files that are flashed in the very beginning are the stock Nougat files. Flashing to Nougat then flashing to Nougat again is redundant.

I'm running the latest update, but I haven't posted it yet. I want to test it out a little longer before uploading it.

Ultra Power Save Mode has been removed from the ROM, but this is something I'll be adding back to it on the latest update.

It's best to edit the updater script by adding the apps you want removed, replace the current script with your modified script, then reinstall the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] spearoid:
In this ROM control app has anyone been able to invert the notifications with the color options? I can make the notification background dark... But I can't seem to find a way to change the actual text color of the notifications... Which ends up being dark on dark. I've tried changing every text color.... Anyone had success getting Nougat notifications to look like MM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] neilwashere:
Thanks, not sure why I said that but I got it up and running! Followed the instructions and all is well.

I am also having this problem. For the life of me cant figure out how to change that text on the notifications. It changes some of it but there is still some text that is dark.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I want to know this as well. I can't read the clock and date. I'm still looking for that setting lol.

This should work, for the stock camera. Download (do not install) and go to system/priv app and create folder "SamsungCamera6" (without quotes). copy apk to this folder, set permissions and reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] rmickey:
Yes, the mod allows you to use the built-in Hotspot app (I just confirmed it). You should know that I have heard that Verizon has been targeting some of their heaviest Grandfathered users and forcing them off the plan. I have consumed no more than about 50-60Gb in a single month and been in the 30-40 mostly without any notices from VZW. I spoke with a rep in store when I got a SIM for my S7 and they told me that the difference with their new plan and the Grandfathered is that they throttle data ONLY when congested (i.e. you can have used 60Gb of data on the new plan and still get full network access as opposed to being always throttled once you pass a threshold).

Sorry for the tangent...

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 PM ----------

Thanks. I'll confirm if it does before I upgrade to the latest post you are making that passes SafetyNet and has the 930V correct everywhere but the display. To put the latest version down do we have to start over again with the process in the OP or can we shortcut from somewhere along the path?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
V13 is being uploaded now. Should be in the OP shortly. Heads up, [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] is on point with this post. You will get a ton of FC's. I found that swiping down and bringing up the notifications, clicking on the setting button and going into application settings to clear data on these apps is the easiest way to do it. I also made the mistake of keeping data and it causes issues with Advanced Calling and other features. Do yourself a favor, backup with Smart Switch, wipe data, then restore after install. If you don't wipe data, then don't post your issues.

I made the mistake of posting in the Edge thread for something I didn't think was related to keeping data, and sure enough wiping data fixed it, so do yourself a favor and start with a clean slate lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
In the latest ROM, Ultra Power Save Mode is working. I kept the build.prop to say G935V for SafetyNet purposes. It doesn't cause any issues by it saying the wrong device anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] vrahn:
That's awesome

So would you say it's worth doing this again with this update? If so wipe clean and start fresh.

Also, did you keep root and if so have you noticed any lag issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jrkruse:
Glad you got the safetynet issue figured out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
Alright [MENTION=6697968]CVertigo1[/MENTION], great timing because I have an issue and this gives me a reason to tinker before starting fresh and flashing v13. I was on Straight Talk, just bought the phone a week or two ago. I got everything up and running, and I gotta say, for the 2 days I've been on it, it's been the smoothest, most efficient Android experience I've had to date. However, I noticed this morning that, while I retained Data (4gLTE), my mms and calling don't work. I've been contemplating flashing the root kernel just to try editing my APN, as it's greyed out for me.

So, simply put, is there anything I can do before flashing v13 that might retain my mms/calling? Thanks for any help and thank you for the excellent work, even with the APN issue, I am thoroughly pleased with this rom thus far!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gunz.jones:
I'm on ST with two phone using the hybrid and radios set to cdma/lte with no issue. Did you play with any settings before you had this issue? Is it an st phone or other carrier?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
Nope, didn't touch a thing as far as this method goes. I bought it at Walmart, pulled from the Vzw section, but it isn't branded, standard tracfone version. When I tried to Odin up to QA4, I bootlooped, figured out flashing the regular CSC instead of the Home CSC fixed it and got me on QA4, then I proceeded with the OP (and yes, to the T, as CVertigo warned) I'm a detail-oriented guy as it is. The data is blazing fast as far as network, no lag or crashes, nothing.

To add, I went with the Playstore version. I even tried Textra, as MMS is a sporadic issue for ST, but it's a no go.

EDIT

I feel like an idiot [MENTION=3150616]gunz.jones[/MENTION], I just checked my radio and it's set to Global, I'm going to switch it over and see how it goes, I'll let you know. :silly:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Adaken13:
hey I am on straighttalk too . do you have the problem where you have 4g but when you make a call it goes 1x edge signal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
No, not the 2 calls I made, at least that I was aware of. But at some point my radio went from lte/cdma to Global, which had my 4G blazing fast, but mms/calls weren't working. Switching it back and I was good to go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gunz.jones:
That's because volte doesn't work on st vzw service. Pop in an AT&T sim and it probably will
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Adaken13:
I feel like I did something wrong when upgrading to nougat hybrid . My radio not working right I think . Also I'm having trouble on messenger Facebook . When I make a video call I can't hear them but they can hear me . Also tried with Skype and it was the same . I did allow for mic and camera when first install them app . Do you guys have the same problem ? Or can you try it out to see if you do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] gunz.jones:
That sounds like a lot of issues based on bad driver install during a flash or bad data retained. Try going back to stock and wipe all data. Or factory reset, root, reflash the ap and rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
It's a pain to get everything working right at first, but it has been very smooth since. I'd recommend the update. No roots for me. I like passing SafetyNet, so I'm staying rootless for awhile.

V4A only works if you have root, as it needs to execute scripts, which is not possible without root. If you root the phone, you can flash the viper fixes and it will work, but if you unroot, then it will go away.

So you got it working correctly? I have no experience with Straight Talk or any other 3rd party services that use Verizon towers.

Try turning the volume down one tick and tell me what happens. I don't have a problem with not hearing people, but I can't hear a dial tone if my volume is maxed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] haps16:
What's the viper fixes? Does flashing it install viper and everything to get it working? I am rooted btw

I have been following this thread from the beginning and am about to pull the trigger. But I'd like to know if there is anything specific I need to do other than follow the directions from the OP on this thread. My phone's performance has been garbage, laggy, and inefficient since I last performed any custom work to it back in September. I am currently on PG5; Permanent Root, S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip and S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_Debloater_V15.zip, and INSTALL XPOSED from following the instructions from GUIDE: ROOT, install XPOSED, and UNROOT/returning to stock a Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] ZeroLozen:
From the following which have you chosen through the Aroma installer? And do I need to run any "camera fix" that I have reading about to obtain advanced camera settings? Camera and video capability are a must for me. Thanks for your input.

Choose From Total Stock Rom

Choose From Debloted Rom 70 Apps Removed

Choose From BS Free Over 120 Apps Removed

Choose PlayStore Rom Over 120 Apps Removed Plus All Samsung Apps Replaced With Google Apps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I go with the BS Free version. Camera and video quality are a must for me with my job, so I stick with the Samsung camera. I flashed the Google version the first time and the NX camera was awful. The pictures turned out horrible compared to the Samsung camera. I have since stayed as far away as possible from the NX camera lol. As far as fixing camera settings, I don't play with the camera settings enough to notice if any settings are missing.

I don't have an issue with full volume after the call is connected, but I also haven't made any messenger calls lately, so I'm basing this off HD calls only. I don't know the reason for this. Maybe [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] knows why and can chime in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] IJoxer:
Alright, just wanted to add a few comments for reference here. First, v13 didnt feel quite as smooth as the last version at first, running the Playstore version and no, I didn't keep root or opt for any of the s8 apps (though I might this next flash). It could have been placebo though, because instead of the gorgeous Pixel launcher greeting me, I was met with that god awful "theme" (which appears to be a modified Samsung Theme). I did get everything setup and running good again, but I did run into an issue with Pixel. So, apparently, before Pixel was running somewhat barebones, which is fine, but I made a mistake when I began tinkering with customizations. I found my way to the Default Apps setting and clicked Home/Launcher and my one and only option popped up to select Pixel, so I did. It prompted me to hit the Home Key to set as default, and I noticed that Pixel was fully functioning now, with Google Assistant and everything.

Then I rebooted. I do remember reading somewhere that Pixel has to be added to System to run fully functional, but that thought didn't cross my mind until I booted up with nothing but SystemUI crashes. Obviously I tried flashing the root engboot, but everything was obviously hosed at this point, so I'll be starting from square one here shortly. It doesn't seem many people are going with Playstore version anyway, but heres a lesson for those who do, leave Pixel as is.

Now off to flash again, I think I'll go with BS Free version this time, as others have said, the NX camera is junk!

EDIT

Sorry [MENTION=6697968]CVertigo1[/MENTION], I didn't even notice this. To answer, yes, but I have no idea how. The problem, in my opinion, stemmed from my radio somehow getting set to Global instead of LTE/CDMA, I was going to go ahead and change it, but decided to wait to see how v13 worked out. Before I had the chance, I absent mindedly tried calling a friend (abnormal for me lol) without thinking and it worked, after I got off the phone, all my SMS messages starting popping up. So basically, it wasn't working until I made a phone call.

That was a weird one for me lol.

I clicked Bixby in Aroma but I don't have Bixby. Do I have to install Pixel Launcher, too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] vrahn:
In ther B.S version, if you swipe Left, it only has the "A" for Auto version. It's suppose to have more settings and options for the camera. It's why I had trouble with it before. I went with stock and it was smooth. Keeping root I could uninstall bloat, but it's harder because of lag and such. But I'll be trying this update on stock. Unless the b.s has the camera setting's I want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
For Bixby, swipe to the left home screen.

As for the crashes with anything, try to clear data for that app through the application manager if you can get to it. It solved all the issues for me. I'm using the S8 launcher, not the Pixel launcher, so I can't comment on that. I'm not a fan of gold themes, so I went to the theme store and installed the Modern Black theme. You might be experiencing the placebo effect, because I feel that this version is just as smooth or even smoother than the last.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] joebro84:

You're awesome - thank you!

So, one other thing - my buddy is currently stock and is switching to this ROM primarily to regain Hotspot, which he uses heavily (grandfathered Verizon UDP.) He says he uses the Samsung Gear app because he has the watch, he uses the Verizon app a bit, and he uses Samsung Pay a bit too. When I'm in the setup stages, I know there are several options; are there any that I should avoid? He's always been satisfied with battery and performance, so that's not why he's doing this. The Samsung bloat and such doesn't bother him either. He just wants a setup that is reliable and allows Hotspot tethering.

I know Samsung Pay is preserved because we're not rooting, but I want to make sure I don't foul up Samsung Gear or the Verizon app (if possible.) Then again, if he has to sacrifice the Verizon app for better battery or performance, I doubt he'll complain so long as everything else remains functioning perfectly.
