Here's the boot recovery file I created that should be added to the first post:

AP_G930UUEU4BQD2_Boot_Recovery_Image.tar.md5

Those that want to remove or update ad blocking host file will need to follow jrkruse post, with one modification:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71331817&postcount=2

I also modified the updater_script so that the BS Free section of the script will remove more of Google Apps, such as Photos, Hangout, but I kept the Camera plugins and the Gallery's photo editor and video playback, etc. I also sorted that section of the script by alphabetical, it was a pain to see what the script removes and keep when everything is out of order when going through the list. If anyone's interested of that updater_script, let me know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I added this to the second post. Thanks!

As for the updater_script, I planned to redo it to fix the gallery and video issues on the next version. I didn't want to upload an update with these fixes, then release one right after when the latest ROM is available with the new firmware, because that usually ends up being the case lol. I'd definitely be interested in looking at your script.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] njKeever:
I feel like I'm going crazy here, any help would be appreciated. I downloaded everything and flashed all four files (BL, AP, CP, and HOME_CSC) with ODIN. The phone reboots into recovery and throws an error. I reboot into download mode and reflash HOME_CSC again. Then, it just gets stuck on the SAMSUNG screen. I've tried reflashing multiple times, and even let the phone sit for over an hour in case it was just taking a long time to boot. But I can't ever get it past the SAMSUNG screen. Any ideas?

I was able to install this ROM.

I noticed a very weird thing. In the attached screenshot, there is a small white tab at top of the screen in scroll area.

Why does it exist ? Can we hide it ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Reboot into recovery and wipe data.

It's called the battery bar. Disable it in the ROM control app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] electrosam:
Thanks a lot. I was able to hide it.

Another weird thing is, in the ROM control app, the button size is enlarged. Not sure why (attached).

I was using other ROM of yours earlier and in it the size was correct. Any thoughts?

Also, a word of caution during installation-

When I flashed everything from ODIN first and booted, the phone downloaded an update(OTA)

I accidentally said Update. It went ahead and installed it.

Booted back fine, was able to root, flashfire, aroma. After aroma however, it got stuck in boot animation. Rebooted it, got stuck and would not go ahead.

Needed to factory reset from recovery and start over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
Some of the cursors are a little awkward with the modded systemUI. You'll notice it everywhere, especially Google. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] njKeever:
That did the trick, thank you so much!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] electrosam:
Thanks.

One more doubt-

How can we control settings of open source ad blocking ?

I think it is blocking 'Here Maps' App and I'd like to exclude this from blocking.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] starboys7:
thats the battery bar you can remove it in the rom control app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] electrosam:
Is there a plan to fix this ?

Is this more visible if we choose Google Play ROM version as opposed to debloat/verizon rom ?

I was using Verizon_TMO_Hybrid_Nougat_Rom and in this I think this cursor/gui awkwardness did not exist.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I use Adguard, so I don't use the ad blocking in the ROM. I don't know how to help on that. Did you see post #2 about ad blocking? If I remember correctly, you can edit the file and use adb to push it, but I'm not certain.

That is really up to jrkruse if he fixes it in a later update. Switching ROM versions won't fix it. If it's a huge bother to you, then re-flash the ROM and don't choose the modded systemUI.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] ezwalker63:
I am currently running Stang5litre Edition 5.0 s7 v3 MM ROM on an AT&T S7 Flat and I believe the ROM is based on the S7 Edge . I am trying to flash this ROM using the OP instructions and keep getting this error in Odin on Step 1. The phone never reboots, it just stays in recovery. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] NaCorL:
Its cause this ROM is nougat based and for a strange reason you can't flash nougat roms directly on top of MM ones. The usual fix is to flash the stock firmware for your phone, try to get the OTA update for nougat, then follow the steps. Also just giving a fair warning you can't downgrade back down to MM after the nougat update so you wont be able to go back to Stang5litre until he updates that to nougat.

@CVertigo1

Hey I have a bit of a bug report. Was messing around with the settings in NNRomControl and finally got things the way I like it. I went to go restart the phone and when it booted back up System UI either Stopped or Crashed and didn't restart itself. Did a little testing and found that it was the System UI Tuner Mod. After enabling any of the settings and restarting the phone System UI would immediately crash on startup.

The noname UI as some customized elements, like the 3minit battery mod, battery bar option at the top, customizable colors / look & feel in the status bar, etc. I personally recommend against using it. In addition to being unstable, it can cause some compatibility issues.

Note that even the stock UI has a couple of glitchy elements. Funny-looking toggles are probably the biggest annoyance. But this is really minor overall.

Yes. You can easily re-flash the same ROM over an existing installation. Root, flash AP + ROM with Flashfire, don't wipe anything. Omit the wipe steps in both Flashfire and the ROM installer. All of your settings, apps and data will remain intact. (Exception: if you choose to install any S8 apps, you'll lose the settings for those. If you use the S8 AOD for example, you'll need to set it up again after re-flashing.)

What firmware should I start on before following the op? I am on the current ufirm right now. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] appye:
So, I have tried to get location tags for the stock camera working to no avail. I have tried different versions of the camera apk (by flashing eng kernel and using adb shell, then flashing back, using the method from the adblocking scripts), and am currently running the latest version of the zero camera mod. I have reset settings and cleared caches (even dalvik cache via adb), and none of these things bring location tags back.

What is weird is that other cameras put the tags in there. I can see that the location icon is activated in the status bar the moment I start either google camera or open camera. The icon never comes up when running the stock camera, regardless of version, or s7 or s8 apk's... I think there is some issue with actually activating the gps when the camera launches. Some camera server component or something.

Location tags are definitely turned on in the settings, and all other location services work fine.

...Does no one else use location tags, or at least experience this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
I can confirm that location tags don't work, but I have not looked into the issue. I rarely look at them, so I didn't notice till you brought it up.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] emwu_:
I was wondering too what is the difference between the 3 ad blocking methods.

Looking inside the ROM zip suggests that each method uses a different /system/etc/hosts file, with the open source one being the largest.

I don't think you can modify it after you lose root though.

I've wiped and flashed this on to 2 phones. 1 phone is perfect but on the other "auto rotate" is broken. It toggles and says "auto rotate" but no apps, images, browsers etc.. will rotate. Any idea what might be the culprit? A quick wipe of the cache didn't help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Silkmeister1:

I ran into the same issue.

[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION], [MENTION=6697968]CVertigo1[/MENTION]

Also, does anyone know why on one of my S7's, this is running absolutely amazing with a long battery life, and another S7 running the exact same firmware is suffering from poor battery life?

Do you think i should reflash the phone that has poor battery life?

Why am i getting a Md5 Hash invalid: Binary error when trying to flash the last AP file in ODIN?

Anyone?

EDIT:

had to rename the md5 to tar in order to avoid the MD5 check...not sure why
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
What [MENTION=5311665]Silkmeister1[/MENTION] mentioned sums it up. You can flash the root kernel in Odin to get it to boot, then root and back everything up if you need to. Ultimately you will need to flash to QA4 before this ROM will work without the root kernel.

Interesting. I haven't run into a no rotate issue yet. I doubt a cache wipe would make a difference anyway. If completely wiping and reflashing it doesn't help, then I'd suspect a hardware issue with the sensor.

Was the phone with awful battery life wiped prior to install? Was the one with good battery life?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Silkmeister1:
The phone had less than great battery life on the unrooted universal rom and after flashing your rom the phone went from 95 to 26 in a matter of hours. After rebooting 3 times i got the battery to last a lot longer. I think it had something to do with going from rooted to unrooted. In any case i think it was just the new rom settling in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] GartimusPrime:
After MANY attempts at installing this rom on my SM-G930R4, I FINALLY got it! I installed nothing extra with stock ui and no ad blocking and did the play store version. At first it rebooted every thirty seconds or so but it stopped after a bit. I like it but have a few observations.

Right now, the battery isn't great but I assume it needs to settle for a bit. Also I wish there was a way to not have the Verizon apps and Samsung Pay installed, I disabled them so that's cool.

The toast notifications look a bit weird as well but not a big deal.

Thanks for the hard work!

verizon provisioning

Hello, can someone tell me how this ROM is able to bypass verizon hotspot provisioning? My wife is running an LG G2 phone, and Verizon has somehow detected that she has gone over the 15gb allotment for hotspot data. On my phone, I am still able to exceed that 15 gb by a large margin. Yesterday, I tested it, and downloaded a bunch of random stuff via hotspot on my S7, all the way past 20gb and no texts from verizon, and hotspot speed is still running strong. On my wife's G2, hotspot is capped at 600kbps, though the handset itself works fine, generally getting 20-30Mbps...

I have tried some of the standard fixes, like the net.tethering.noprovisioning=true line in build.prop, and another one where I run "settings put global tether_dun_required 0" from a root prompt... Both to no avail.

Basically, I would like to know how provisioning is bypassed on this rom, so I can try and duplicate the effort on hers.

Is verizon doing something new?

I don't recommend upgrading through the system when you have a modified ROM. It rarely ends well. I honestly thought the update service was pulled out of the ROM.

I've never heard of this on this ROM. I have had issues on older phones with this, and it entailed flashing a WiFi fix zip, but this has not been the case on the S7.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] CVertigo1:
No. It's not too bad having to reflash the ROM. Flash the root kernel, run the root.bat, BACKUP EVERYTHING JUST IN CASE, then reflash the ROM without wiping data. If you are already running good on this same exact ROM, then there should be no issues keeping data, but it'll be a good thing to backup just in case.

[MENTION=6697968]CVertigo1[/MENTION] , thank you for a fast reply.

I had followed the second post in this thread in regards to flashing the ENG boot, running the adblock script and then re-flashing the stock recovery file for BQD2.

This worked 95% of the time, with youtube sometimes throwing a 5 seconds add, and some game apps showing adds.

I just fixed this myself by rooting, installing the AP file and Zip through Flashfire, selecting wipe cache, cache format, and partition (NOT internal or 3rd apps) and after the Aroma installer, I chose DONT WIPE and installed the rom again but this time using Adaware (which I knew to work well)

-if I had done used adaware when i first installed this rom it would not let me sign into venmo and snapchat etc.
