yes looking into all the apps it wipes, found one releated to WiFiCalling ... WfcService ... so will remove that from the deletion list ..

it also has ATTVoWifiSPG on the list, but i think thats a AT&T specific one ?? thats not actually needed ?

now added this into new 'v3f' fixed version .. just has this and the one below changed...

if ya able you can now try this one... (sadly you will need to start from stock odin again as it deleted it :( ) so you CAN do a network debloat, and it 'should' still work !

also as you have dont the network debloat does your hotspot work ok ?

found that it was deleting "TetheringProvision" which it needs it seems :(

so have taken that delete out on 'v3f' fixed version .. just has this and the one above changed...

see if that works you end..... (sadly you will need to start from stock odin again as it deleted it :( )

Or as a workaround with out having to re-install etc .. i have found this works .....

if you turn off data, turn on actual wifi, then turn on hotspot, it then switches on .. then turn data back on ....

it seems to work ! ..

Thank you for the great tutorial, everything went smooth and it was my first time attempting root etc. S8 launcher doesn't work though, just keeps crashing.

Now that I have debloated and installed what I want, is there a way to unroot the device so I can use Samsung Pass, Fit etc?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] miniminus:
did you start from fresh QD4 ?

not sure whats up with the s8 launcher then ? .. did you choose other s8 mods ? ..

which launcher are you using now ? ......

did you start from fresh QD4 ? which camera options did you choose ? s8, googles ?

not sure what you mean by SMS ? if your resetting, your provider maybe trying to resend their network settings every time ??

if your not sure ... look in the main storage of your phone for Ufirm.s7a_hybrid.aroma.log file and it will show you what the modder did ..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] eualex:
I am using the latest version of its very top v3F rom, nothing to complain so far everything perfect. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] dinoboi:
firmware question?

Im at firmware QC4. Can i start the tutorial for this thread as you say? Loading up QD4 all 7s.zip or should i revert back to stock mm firmware, then start as you say? and what settings should be ticked with odin? thankyou!!!

Cheers!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] tyckiting:
I did start from fresh. I chose the Bixby too. I'm using the Nova launcher since the Pixel one was SLOW. Overall this phone seems slower than the normal S7 I have.

What about the unroot or root hide? Any ideas from anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] miniminus:
Which governor did you choose ?...

Not sure what's up with the s8 launcher then. Nova seems much better anyhow it seems ... set mine up so it acts like the standard with the slide up to open app draw ...

Hiding root, and stock kernel is a different task altogether, is possible, just haven't gathered everything together. As don't have the time atm...

May redo it once qg1 is out ...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] tyckiting:
I didn't choose a governor at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] dogg94:
[MENTION=4506008]miniminus[/MENTION] a little while back you had mentioned looking into potentially porting the stock kernel. Just wondering if that is still something you're looking at and if so if you need any testing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Lucifer3x:
[MENTION=4506008]miniminus[/MENTION] This rom v3f work perfectly, thank you very much. But i've a question. I run a clean playstore debloat, mobile hotspot and smartview (screen mirroring) cant work. Could you make a new version that can run hotspot and smartview when choose a clean playstore debloat?

Many thanks again.

Best regards.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] fegato:
is there a way to go back to s7 apps after chosen s8 from your rom? I have to reflash everithing from full QD4?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] miniminus:
yes still want to do this, just gonna take a butt load of time again ! will keep you in mind when i start :)

im thinking when QG4 for Odin is available

have you tried just a normal network debloat, and see if hotspot works on that ? as ive still not had any true feedback to see if my last fix worked for everyone...

and mirroring can be found on the playstore/samsung app, thats the whole point of the playstore strip out, you have to install anything you want added...

no sadly not, i may try implement this on later versions... so a start again from stock would be the best way atm
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Dr.Lee.bdubs.82.89:
just wanted to tell you and anyone involved in this post that your fuc*ing AMAZING! not only got me out of a bootloop but rooted me after. been trying to root for a while now. wish i could hit the thank you button a 1000 times!! seriosuly THANK YOU!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Raccroc:
Love the rom, really appreciate all the hard work. Have just a couple quick questions...

1st...Any way to prevent the 3rd party bloatware from getting installed? Specifically, 3Minit Battery, as it is a horrible pain to remove once installed (I have not tried a playstore mod install, but will if that is the answer).

2nd...Anyone else having issues getting "AT&T" removed from the left side of Notification Bar? NNRom-Control doesn't seem to working for me in this case.

Thank you very kindly.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] FtaWolf:
Get up with [MENTION=4631220]Venom0642[/MENTION] get one his themes they have carrier removed from left if running them.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] miniminus:
dont select noname mod to start with ? .. im not kean on it, due to them... i did try have it as an option to install them, but it screws up noname mod anyhows ! .. so best to just disable it all in noname settings ...

maybe i will look into these to have as a selection ..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Dr.Lee.bdubs.82.89:
so i rooted with your method and am very thankful. im curious to what the "Ufirm_Hybrid_S7active_Nougat_V3" downlaod step does?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] FtaWolf:
Can someone share the memo app from s7 active. Thanks..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] bandario:
This is not having a dig at all the awesome work that has gone in here, but does anyone have any fresh suggestions for preventing the slowdown inerrant in using the ENG kernel? I have my phone exactly as I want it thanks to miniminus but honestly after a couple of weeks I can barely type on It. Sometimes there is a 6 second delay when switching between apps etc, it's nuts. Have tried both interactive and on-demand, just can't seem to shake the lag.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] miniminus:
Yes ... I also seem to be getting laggy sessions now it's settled in a few weeks or so ...

I get it occasionally after initially turning screen on, so I'm presuming wake from doze/sleep etc ...

But generally its ok, and best its been using the engboot ...

Think the only way we going to get this better is to port over the trick to get the stock kernel working after mods (debloat etc, an other system folder alterations) have been applied ...

I need to get some help/confirmation from jrkryse on some issues/steps as he's the one who originally used/found this method...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Dr.Lee.bdubs.82.89:
so i used your method all the way from step one til the end. beyond grateful! but maybe an hour in to checking things out i opened up i beleieve it was adblock. it was a red icon for adblocking. once opened it prompted me to an update that was available for the app. i proceeded and after id say maybe a minute my device restarted and after booting got a pop messages saying "system ui not responding", said somthing rit around that wording. so i thought i would try going and wiping my system cache but i couldnt get my device to turn off. it would restart but not stay off. not even holding the power + volume down worked. i finally got it to stay off by holding vol up+ vol down+ power all together until the galaxy s7 active showed up and blinked four times as if it was turning off and on each time. not sure this was ok, but thats how i got it shut down. tried wiping cache from recovery mode, but it just took me back to having no system ui and not able to turn it off again.( dont know if it matters but my always on display was working when my system ui was not) ..anyways went back and finally did a factory reset and now about to start from the eng_boot stage and get her back going with your method again.

My question tho, should i obviously stay away from updating the adblock app which started it all or you think somthing else caused it? also curious is to how i get rit of the stock battery sign in notifications. love the one you provide once process is done but i dont need two percents rit next to eachother telling me my batterys dieing lol

thanks again for the step-by-step and everything involved. was exacly what i needed to get root initially! much appreciated!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] miniminus:
sound like you selected the nonamemod... that does seem to have a few bugs, and makes the systemui crash :(

and has the battery icon too..

its all setup with the nonamemod app .. but personally it just seems to buggy and not really worth all the hassle !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Dr.Lee.bdubs.82.89:
whats do you suggest. About to redo the process. Im open to any suggestions!!

Im still somewha new to rooting. so any knowledge you wanna throw my way is greatly appreciated!!

---------- Post added at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------

last question i swear. lol

when you wrote

- "but if your going to elect s8 mods, or the playstore mods, then a wipe is best (of you will have to select to clear cache/data on the apps one back up and running to prevent closes)"

do you mean i need to wipe the cache individually for each app or can i do a system cache from recovery once im back up and running and then is a factory reset needed?. srry for all the questions man. ive just factory reset my phone so many times and been locked out cuz of FRP and bootloops. i know it comes with the territory.lol just trying to prevent any if i can
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Dr.Lee.bdubs.82.89:
alright boss. i went thru the whole thing from eng_boot again. paid close attention to what i ws doign when setting up. i didnt do nonamemod. been aboout an hour and all of a sudden "system ui has stopped" is up again. i was able to turn my phone off this time. before i wipe cache i want to make sure thats the right thing to do rit now. id really wanna keep root if possible. thats the second time ive done evrything. pls advise

P.S i enabled system UI that comes with nougat both this time and last time. you think that could be the colperate?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Dr.Lee.bdubs.82.89:
srry for my newbie-ness. lol. Curiou whats the difference between dirty and clean install. Im about to flash the eng_boot and Ufirm-mod on my phone for the 3rd time in 2 days. Not complaining at all. Im stoked to have root, just curious if im missing any quick tricks might help get er done quicker lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] miniminus:
Yes it's defo best to turn off all for, and other security when messing with flashing ...

And only need to wipe individual apps. If you dirty flashed, clean flash would of cleared everything anyhows

Not sure what is mean here about systemui that comes with nougat ??

Ok dirty and clean flashing means, if you started from stock or not (stock being a reinstall via odin)

And dirty being not doing any data wipes or anything ....

Clean install from odin always works best ...

Not sure about all the system ui problems, are you using the QD4 odin files ??...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] dinoboi:
[MENTION=4506008]miniminus[/MENTION]

Excellent work!!!

Everything was great but then i enabled secure startup, uninstalled a couple sys apps (hangouts & play music) ,and restarted..I lost root after restarting and having secure startup enabled..is this the culprit..and can i just re-odin eng-boot file and run .bat from V2 to get root again..busybox ans supersu are installed..but lost root.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Dr.Lee.bdubs.82.89:
ive back up and running. did everything again. havnt activated the system ui tuner that comes with nougat and im fine so far. been almost 2 days i think. att didnt allow is on the s7. after flashing it let me enable it, pretty positive thats what crashed my UI both times tho. thanks again for your help!

oh i really need to know if i can unmount and remove my SD card and still have root and ufirm_hybrid and everything. and if i can, where can i select to unmount it. cant find the option anywhere!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Tre11441:
Too much lag

I have been using version 3f for a bit now and everything lags like 3 or 4 seconds just to go back home. I'm not sure if its caused from the eng kernel and I have modules setup inside of kernel adiuator but i don't think they actually work. if anyone has any suggestions about what to do to solve the lag it would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] JDBarlow:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Dr.Lee.bdubs.82.89:
Curious how i unmount my SD card. I dont have smart manager now. Ive gone back and did the root.bat process and the flashfire process both a few times to try and get it back, but no luck! Am i just retarded or is this a problem for anyone else.??

Also, you said to go in and clear the cache for individual apps so they stop closing out. Ive done this a few times and still certain ones like NNROMCONTROL keep closing out. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] JDBarlow:
You need to go SETTINGS then scroll down to DEVICE MAINTENANCE then click STORAGE icon then you can EJECT or MOUNT your SDCARD :cowboy:

Love me some Oreo's :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Dr.Lee.bdubs.82.89:
since root i dont have device maintenance as an option. I used to use that way but its dissappeared. I redid the whole root process and everything to see if maybe i accidentally took it out during debloat, still not there. Even if i search for it in my settings its no where to be found. If i turn my phone off then take it out, how bad is that for it? FYI. if i do it that way ill be putting the same SD card rit back in my phone before i turn it back on. I just need to open it to change my sims card.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] JDBarlow:
That's weird I've flashed back to QB2 twice and updated to the newest version then flashed the u firm v3f and the only thing I've messed up is skipping the samsung account setup and now I can't figure out how to reactivate it..your question about the sdcard shouldn't be a problem as long as the phone was off?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Dr.Lee.bdubs.82.89:
Ya im having the same problem with my samsung account. Havnt messed around with it really. Let you kno if i figure anything out. Thank you bout the SD card. I did it earlier, seems fine so far.

I guess ill flash QD4 and work my way up and see if it fixes itself. Do you know if this process unlocks our bootloader. Im on the newest firmware but got there thru OTA before i rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] EnduringGuerila:
Thank you so much for this.

My roommate messed something up while trying to update his firmware and I used this to get him up and running again (plus even newer version than he could find).

---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

So, funny timing, I just received an OTA update today to version G891AUCS2BQH1.

Edit:

I used this method to root and installed most of the mods and everything worked on the newest version (G891AUCS2BQH1)

NOTE: I never wiped anything and everything has been running fine

I did have an issue with SuperSU not installing but I did have root access (applied to everything without prompt).

1. I tried installing SuperSU from the play store, said it didnt have root access.

2. Reran root.bat (same issue, no errors listed either)

3. Copied the SuperSU-v2.82.apk to my SDcard and installed it manually that way, SUCCESS!

Not sure if the version of SuperSU is custom or not but that seemed to be the only thing that worked.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] duncan99:
Works great!

Just got an S7 active to replace my S4 active that bricked last week after an OTA update...

This worked flawlessly, I'm up and running on QG1 with several of the S8 mods. Thanks for putting so much work into it!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] JDBarlow:
I started all over and updated all the way up to QH1. I still can't get the Samsung account to work as far as THEMES go. It tells me I have to reactivate the account in application manager?? Can't seem to find it anywhere in applications.

Other than that I flashed the u firm dirty and was able to keep the theme I wanted due to installing before flashing u firm. This is the best my phone has ran yet!! No lag what so ever :highfive:

Hey man what do you think about porting over one of the s8 roms they have for s7 and s7 edge can it be done
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Woulfos:
What does everyone run now? I run this setup with ondemand governor and without NNRomControl. I can't get rid of this stubborn lag. Would downgrading to MM help?

Any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] jembot:
Use most recent STOCK Nougat and DO NOT root. You won't have any issues.

Rooted ROM uses a makeshift engineering kernel not suitable for the device. Degrades performance and drains battery.

If for some life and death reason you need root, then use rooted. If you want stability, reliability, no-lag and great battery life, stick to stock.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Woulfos:
Thanks a bunch, I feared as much.. I do really really need root. Is there any way to work around this kernel problem (other kernel, magisk, anything)? Forgive me my ignorance.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] miniminus:
whats the main reason you like/want root ? ..

but at present, this is the best you can get ...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] frogmonster:
Silly question... I can't seem to find a stock nougat Rom for the S7 Active. Does anyone have a good link to it? I've been running this Rom for about 3 weeks now and it seems very stable just... painfully slow.

Thanx!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] shlomc:
hey,

first, thanks a lot for all the work you have put on this.. really appreciated.

i followed the steps as posted in the original post, installed the clear nougat version (no at&t junk),

since then, the device is laggy, it takes ages for him to initiate phone calls, and various features just dont work (one hand operation, and some others which i cant recall at the moment).

anything i can do to improve this performance issues? perhaps a different installation?

kinda new to this world...

thanks..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] bandario:
As detailed DIRECTLY ABOVE YOUR POST, no - at present if you are rooted, then you are using the engineering kernel. Nobody figured out another root method for the S7A that doesn't use the engineering kernel which by nature makes your device laggy. There's no way around it with the current set of tools, trust me I've tried.

I've gone back to stock, personally because I couldn't handle having my expensive device acting like an Android 2.1 turd with 512mb of ram.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] shlomc:
well, i guess i'd have to do this to.. unless until better kernel versions will come out.

can this process be reversed anyway to the unrooted stock version? if it does, can you please specify how to?

i guess that means im stuck with the facebook\amazon\at&t\uber **** that at&t have forced on this device?

thanks again,

shlomi

Can anyone tell me how to upgrade my phone from g891aucu2bqb2 to the newest rom (original)?

I don't really understand
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] JDBarlow:
The OP tells you how on the first page where it starts with ### So and you'll want to stop when you get to step 1d.

You'll need to download the following files that upgrade from qb2 to qc2 then qc2 to qd4 then qd4 to qf2 then qf2 to qg1 lastly qg1 to qh1. Put them on the root of your sd card. Files can be found on the Russian link provided. Boot into stock recovery and flash each one in the correct order. Each time it reboots immediately turn off and boot back into stock recovery until your on qh1. Good luck!

Having some unknown issue with Viper4Android. First run resulted in no ask to install driver(expected that) so i began to tweak to my preference. Played music and checked driver status, showing there was an issue. So i selected to uninstall the driver, and suddenly it started working. I then tried to setup the other tabs to my liking and it stopped working again. Now when i select to uninstall the driver it just uninstalls it. I tried reinstalling the driver in app, tried setting SELinux to permissive then reinstalling driver, nothing is working. Any advice? Should i reflash the mod and only worry about the Viper4Android
