Based on the replies in this thread, this is still quite active? I just bought the phone the other day - looking to rom it. Ideally with this one.

Phone came with nougat already on it, I imagine I need to either find the stock nougat firmware (having trouble finding the download link, all the ones on most of the links in the forum are for PE1 or older) or just factory reset it?

I ended up following the root instructions in this thread thinking I NEEDED to have root, but I've had so many other phones I havent been able to, I've forgotten Im ok without having it.

Noticed the phone ran kinda hot and laggy with the root version, so I might as well revert back if I can.

I finally got the UFirmware to flash to my phone and completed step 1. However after the ROM boots up, it keeps rebooting itself after 20-30 seconds and keeps repeating. I don't have enough time to copy the files in step 2 to my internal memory before it reboots again. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Boot into recovery and factory reset.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I haven't run into that issue, but I remember it being posted in the Edge ROM. I'd lurk through there and see what the fix was.

Do you mean the home button doesn't work when the screen is on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] NaCorL:
Really sorry I have to make this reply but this ROM is just too buggy in its current state. Sliders are a mess, on screen notifications are completely glitched and battery life is worse for me than the TMO Verizon Hybrid ROM that came before this. Hopefully it improves in the future but for now I'm switching back to the old Hybrid ROM.

BTW this isn't a "I just installed this ROM and I hate it" kinda thing. I ran this ROM all day and with the amount I use my phone the glitchy UI and even complete System UI crashes were just too much.

EDIT: Forgot to mention I was running the NoNaMe Version

Boot loop :(

[MENTION=6697968]CVertigo1[/MENTION]

I am facing a very weird issue.

I was able to install this properly the first time. I had ad blocking enabled, wanted to disable it.

So I just started over.

Now, after doing FlashFire step when phone boots up, either from Welcome Screen or WiFi setup screen it reboots.

Then comes back again, and before I could type anything reboots.

I followed steps on first thread as is.

I am scratching my head as to what's causing this. Any ideas ?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] ezwalker63:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I find all this really surprising. I know the sliders and cursors are funny looking, but I've never had them act up. How are the notifications glitchy? When I'm not in my office with awful service, my battery life is much better than any previous ROM. The only time I had issues with modded systemUI crashes was when I changed something in ROM control, which it's supposed to crash when making changes, or when I didn't wipe data. Did you wipe data in Aroma?

Never had this happen or had anyone else mention it. Did you wipe data in Aroma? If that doesn't fix it, I think you have a bigger issue.

Same as always, wipe data. This is why backups are important.

Is it possible to debloat Facebook, S Voice, and some other bloatware while maintaining what I consider the vital Samsung apps like camera, gallery, and video apps?

Choosing manual debloat doesn't seem to actually work when I try to remove Facebook, S Voice, and some other bloat... Those apps still end up installed on the system partition.

I feel like I tried the other premade debloat options in Aroma in the past and it took away the Samsung Camera or something related to it.

Or is there something I'm doing wrong that is causing the manual debloat to not work as I'd expect?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] NaCorL:
You could try to do one of the options besides manual and then install the replacement S8 apps instead.

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

Yes I did very thorough wipes throughout the process. And the problem with the notifications aren't the ones you get for a text message, its the pop up ones, like the ones that show up when an app does something. Literally only half of the notification shows and the rest is garbled. For the battery part with the Hybrid ROM I was getting anywhere from 13-15 hours with my own timing and this brought it back down to maybe 8-9 hours with the same apps installed. And as for the System UI troubles even when I wasn't using the tuner, it crashed once on its own when turning from portrait to landscape and once when loading a game. And after a reset the System UI Tuner in Rom Control just didn't work at all, it would immediately crash on restart and wouldn't recover.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] spearoid:
Does this mean that the pre debloat packages actually do remove S voice and Facebook, etc? And is this confirmation that the manual debloat route won't allow for removal of those apps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] ezwalker63:
I can't get videos to play in chrome. Is anyone else having this issue? This ROM is incredible! It's amazing that I'm able to make all of these customizations without being rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I can confirm that Facebook does get debloated when you go NO_BS. Here is something to keep in mind. If you have updated Facebook and keep data, then the new version of the Facebook app will persist after the ROM is installed, because app updates are kept in the data partition, not the system partition.

Safe to assume you used the dual speaker mod? If so, that'll happen. You can use the Samsung browser or another browser. I should have mentioned that in the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] spearoid:
I don't have a Facebook account or ever even touch it. If I ever updated it it would've been an accident. I wiped everything a couple times when installing this latest v14 though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] ezwalker63:
Yes I installed the dual speaker mod and love it. I will gladly use another browser until a fix can be found for chrome. Thanks again for adapting this ROM for our phones!

Another option / question: is it possible to flash the engineering kernel, root, remove additional bloat, unroot, flash proper kernel, and have apps like Samsung Pay continue to work happily?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] mzup:
I have ran through this 4 times and every time I finish running through aroma setup and it reboots, it gets stuck on the initial boot screen and then reboots again. Stuck in boot loop. I went into recovery and wiped data/factory reset, and wiped cache. It then boots up and i am able to configure phone but it is missing the apps I wanted installed from aroma. I run the manual debloat. Is there apps that are known to cause issues with phone booting up? I have been running QC1 with no issues, and just wanted to see what this version was like. If I am doing something wrong please let me know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] starboys7:
DONT FLASH CSC FILE very important if your getting bootloop also make sure you flash qd2 first then root then install rom

YOU CANT INSTALL THE ROM FROM ANY OTHER FIRMWARE OTHER THAN QD2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Supposedly you can do this, but there is as much better way to make it happen. Extract the updater-script from the ROM without unpacking the entire ROM. Then add/remove lines from the script as you want. Finally replace the existing updater-script with your modified script. Now you have everything you want removed or not removed from the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] spearoid:
This is both beautiful and terribly exciting!

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

I've got a question about this procedure.... What would I need to choose when I get to the debloat options in Aroma?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Whichever version you modified in the script. You'll see what I'm talking about when you look at the updater-script.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] spearoid:
Perfect... Thank you... I'm at a campground for the week.., Might not get to my laptop to toy with this until next week. ?

Here's a hint. Use 7zip to extract the script and Notepad++ to modify the script.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] hunteditor:
Stay Close to Stock

Guys and gals, although no one asked, here's my two cents: If you really want to enjoy this ROM, stick as close to stock as possible. The whole point of this ROM is to have a stock experience that is debloated and has some key root benefits without being rooted. I wouldn't even add in the S8 apps. For a really clean experience, just pick your level of debloat and don't select anything else during installation.

I realize that's sacrilegious here on XDA, but I think it's better to go with a rooted ROM if you want to change major features.

Also, no disrespect to jkruse and cvert. I don't mean to imply the extra options they built into this are bad. Their work has allowed me to fall in love with my phone again. But this ROM shines on a near-stock setup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I agree with that statement for the most part. Without root, it's amazing. I'm the guy that had to have root at all times on everything, including the S7, up until this ROM came out. I only root when I'm going to update/re-flash the ROM lol. I will say that I use a few S8 apps without any issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
You mind uploading the script with your fixes?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] spearoid:
These are my thoughts exactly regarding Android phones these days. I also used to want to have my phone rooted no matter what...but apps like Samsung Pay have become too vital to me to lose for the sake of rooting.

I want this S7 as close to stock as possible with as little (read: none) bloat as possible. But the two pre-debloated options in Aroma kill something related to Samsung's camera...at least they did when I first installed this hybrid ROM a few months ago....and that shortcoming is actually taking the S7 further away from stock. The only non-stock thing I'd love besides bloatware removal is to somehow get the gallery and toggles and everything Samsung changed to white, back to black. :) The theming options Samsung has given unfortunately aren't far-reaching enough.

Even as things are now this ROM is amazing and FAR better than the OEM Verizon approach.......perfection would come for me to have ALL bloat removed while maintaining Samsung's camera capabilities fully (Samsung's greatest strength in the Android world IMO along with Samsung Pay)

I took a look at the updater script file and without a doubt use Notepad++ for this type of thing ;) But the only references I see to S Voice and Facebook are delete lines.....I was thinking I'd see lines for installing those specific APKs that I would then remove, but I didn't see those. Maybe I'm supposed to copy these delete lines to a another place in the script file?

Ultimately it's not a big deal if I have to live with S Voice and Facebook and other bloat still on my phone....there was still plenty removed.

I would just like to add that I was unable to install this rom from stock QD2. I tried several different methods and tweaks, but about 9 flashes later, decided to odin back to QA4 and follow Jkruses instructions and everything went smooth. My issue trying to install the rom from QD2 was after the aroma installer (and yes, I wiped, and unchecked inject supersu, etc) I would be bootlooped at the custom boot screen, flashing the eng kernel would get me up and running, but kinda defeats the purpose.

So, anybody having trouble installing this rom, try an odin back to QA4 completely stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] miniminus:
which variant did you choose in aroma ?

as ive been modding this, and found that i dont think the variants match to what boot.img they use ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Indyultra:
One quirk I found out on this, is the wake lock, if the phone goes asleep and I catch it within 5 Seconds it takes forever to wake back up. But if I let it go for more than 30 seconds it wakes right up. And I do have the pin lock set up.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
This is a true statement. A few users have run into these issues in the past and it usually happens when the full CSC is flashed somewhere along the way. When you use the full CSC, DM-Verity fails and won't boot unless you run the engineering kernel. [MENTION=7021141]IJoxer[/MENTION] is correct. If you follow all the instructions and wipe like you are supposed to, but still bootloop without the engineering kernel, then do a full Odin flash of Verizon QA4, including the full VZW_CSC. Then after it boots into Android, follow the instructions from step 1.

Double Post
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
That is rather interesting. I have had SD card issues in the past that are very similar to this. In my case, it was a telltale that my SD card was on it's way out. I'm glad I upgraded to a larger SD card and transferred all my data when I did. I ended up using check disk on the old card and got it to work pretty well, then I used it for random(non important) stuff only, but it stopped being recognized completely soon after. My advice to you is to replace your SD card sooner rather than later. At the very least, backup everything on your PC, format the card and run check disk, then copy everything back over to the card. This way you have a recent backup on your PC in case the card completely sharts the bed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] vrahn:
That is the interesting thing though is that when I got the phone it was a brand new SD card class 10 and I formatted it before I put it into the phone so it should not be shorting the bed this soon but if I have to get a new one I will the Galaxy S7 can hold up to 128gb

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] aurny:
Hey all, I'm running this rooted right now but hoping to get back on the stock kernel. I've got a couple of ideas... how likely do you think these are to work?

1. Replace the hosts file with a symlink to /data/data/hosts and continue using AdAway. I think this can be done with a simple symlink("/data/data/hosts", "/system/etc/hosts") in updater-script.

2. Flash the eng kernel and root; use Titanium to restore from a previous backup; unroot and go back to the stock kernel. I don't give this one a very high chance of success -- unrooting can't restore /system to exactly the same state as before, which means different hash, no dm-verity.

3. If #2 fails: root, install Titanium, restore from backup, then uninstall Titanium and re-flash the ROM without wiping. Because it's re-flashing the same version, if I re-flash QD2 (AP/BL) and then the ROM and don't wipe, I think this will work.

I've got some other ideas too, much crazier, but let's start with these!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] electrosam:
Please explain steps with QA4 in detail

Hi,

I was having problem installing this ROM, bootloop. Tried data wipe but did not help.

I tried to do what you suggested, start with a fresh QA4 (SM-G930VVRU4BQA4) and then start with instructions provided on first page.

I used AP of QD2 in Flashfire, got bootloop again.

Then, started over with QA4 again, and used AP of QA4 itself in Flashfire.

Got into even worse situation, not even booting. Just shows Galaxy and loops there.

For now, I am on stock QA4 again.

I would like to install Ufirm though.

Which AP did you use in Flashfire ?

Can you please explain your steps that worked with QA4, step-by-step ?

That'd be immensely helpful.

Thanks.

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

[MENTION=6697968]CVertigo1[/MENTION]

Can you please update the steps on Page 1 with QA4 or add a new post ?

I tried to follow fresh QA4 and then steps on Page 1. Got bootloop again.

I tried AP of QD2 in Flashfire, and then AP of QA4 as well. Both got me bootloop.

Thanks a ton!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I'm not sure about choice one, since I don't use the adblocking, so I never looked into it. As for choice 2 or 3, I'd definitely go with choice 3. I can confirm that it works.

Use Odin to flash the QA4 BL, AP, CP, and VZW_CSC. If it throws an error while booting, reboot into download mode and flash the VZW_CSC again. When the phone completely boots into Android, then you'll know you've succeeded. Now, reboot into download mode and use Odin to flash QD2 BL, AP, CP, and HOME_CSC. When you said you tried both QD2 and QA4 AP files in FlashFire, were you talking about step 5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] electrosam:
This is what I did -

1. Flashed QA4 BL, AP, CP, HOME_CSC_VZW. Did not get an error while booting. Completely booted into Android.

2. Then I started from Step 2 on first page I copied AP of QA4 to internal storage along with other required stuff.

3. In Step 5, in Flash Fire I chose AP of QA4 and UFirm ZIP. After flashing it went into serious bootloop wouldn't even show boot animation.

I started over, and chose AP of QD2 in Flash Fire. Got same result.

Am I supposed to flash QA4 entirely, boot to Android, then flash QD2 entirely ?

Let me know.

Thanks for the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] fwuser:
Hello, I've been lurking for a while and have finally started to flash this ROM. My question is about Flashfire.. is the Samsung write protection just something to be dismissed before starting to add the firmware package ? Also, in step 5 add wipe... am I supposed to have more than those 4 items checked ? There is a total of 8 choices. System data is already checked... do I uncheck it ? 3rd party apps ? What about boot image backups ? Sorry for the inexperience on my part using Flashfire, but I'd rather avoid problems than try to fix them after the fact. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
If you want to make up your own instructions like this, then you'll end up with bootloops, plenty of them. Did you read what I posted?

If one post says to use Odin to flash QA4, then start at step 1, and the other post says to use Odin to flash QD2(which is also step 1), then why would you start at step 2?

You can dismiss the warning. Un-check the ones that aren't mentioned in the instructions. The system data and user data will get wiped anyway when the ROM is installed.

[MENTION=6697968]CVertigo1[/MENTION] When you use AdGuard do you use it in VPN mode, or do you somehow get to use the recommended http proxy mode? If so, how?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I use VPN mode. I have barely changed the settings that it comes preset with and it does great! In the beginning, I did have issues with text messages not sending or receiving intermittently. I disabled Adguard for the Samsung Messages app, and I have not had any issues since.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] electrosam:
Thanks, I think I missed it.

So for sake of clarity, this is what you are recommending-

1. Flash entire QA4, boot to Android

2.. Now flash entire QD2, boot to Android

3. Then proceed with remaining steps ? Use QD2 AP in Flashfire ?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Flash all QA4 files with Odin, using the VZW_CSC and boot into Android. After that, start at step 1 in the OP and do not do anything differently. You will use the QD2 AP in FlashFire.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] electrosam:
Right, Step 1 in OP is basically flash all QD2 isn't it ?

I am just confused why entire flash of QA4 followed with entire flash of QD2 helps in this case.

Also,

VZW_CSC, is that HOME_CSC_VZW or CSC_VZW ?

Thanks.
