Hey guys. New to this device, having just jumped shipped from the sinking Note 7.
Just wondering if you all could tell me if this device is easy to root and if the rumors I've heard about rooting this device making it slow, laggy, etc., are true.
Thanks in advance.
Easy to root yes...look on YouTube...but keep in mind that
after rooting your phone will get super leggy and you will need fix some stuff with kernel...that's too much sht... I decided to stay stock... TouchWiz is not that bad actually...enjoying my s7 edge after leaving my note 7 too
Me too , I returned my note 7 today after have for couples day's but for now I'm happy with this device whit out root
I was wondering about this too. I still have my N7 but was thinking of returning it for a S7 Edge
Here is How To (Qualcomm) Root S7/S7 Edge
I have been on rooted stock, modded stock, and now Echoe since early July with good performance and battery life with the basic kernel mods recommended.
Echoe is the best (and really only non-stock ROM0, but has some minor issues - primarily WIFi calling, so if you want that you might stick to stock or the modified stock just released.
Be sure you read the instructions carefully before starting so you can avoid mistakes many have made getting started. In messing around with different setups, I have had to RE-ODIN stock software and re-root several times - can do it in my sleep now - lol.
Note - if you buy a TMo S7 - check which firmware version is on it an download and save that firmware. If you don't want to jump into rooting right off, do not let TMo update the firmware, as it will include the latest bootloader and security patches, which will limit your options.
If you want LTE+ (it is fast), I believe even when rooted that you could ODIN ONLY the ODIN CP module that upgrades the modem and related firmware to the new LTE.
Does the S7E offer anything like Smart Select that would allow me to trace out a picture on a webpage and save it or share it?
I'm on modified stock rooted. Yes you need to use something like trickstermod to change the governor and min/ max frequency. Takes 2 seconds. Runs decently. No major lagging. I have root and a ton of xposed modules up and running without any problems.

What settings do you recommend?
Ondemand governor and set big and little cores to both max and minimum correctly. The eng kernel has them all locked at 1000 and performance which lags like crazy.
Edit:
Make sure lock frequency is enabled and don't forget to apply on boot.

Deep sleep is good as is the general performance. Great battery life. No issues charging wired or wireless and on quick charge.

I'm also coming from a note 7. Getting my edge tomorrow. Rooting it doesn't seem to be an issue, also says it can still be rooted on the latest firmware. I'm still researching on how to fix the stupid issues like the lag, hurricane icon etc. Any help or write ups would be awesome and save some of newly edge owned people. I did have an s7 edge as a loaner during the first recall.

Not exactly like how the N7 does. The workaround would be to screenshot and crop thru the edit tools

I've pretty much gotten it in my head that for the first time since the Note 2, I will be using something else other than a Note. I'll fall back on my Note 4 if I get too homesick.
Besides the S Pen, there is one other feature I'll miss a lot - Secure Folder. It's grown on me in ways I never expected. The simple ease of transition from normal to Secure Folder use is what makes it so good. Having the option of having a completely secure version of any app that only the user can access... I'm hoping Samsung ports it over to the S7E.
It's a decision of either sacrificing the performance upgrade or S Pen and it's features!

Just switched to the S7e from Note 7. Really pissed that the always on display does NOT display all the notifications. I tried to port the apk from the note 7 but it will not install.. what gives?

Did you try to install the apk with the installer or did you put it into directly into the system? Also, there may be other system components you will need load
I defiantly miss my Note7, but the S7 edge is a very good replacement. although, I'm still intrigued by the V20.

Coming from all 3 previous notes, I've had this for a week and just miss having root. I miss my viper audio, and miss all the theming options I had. While it's a nice enough phone, it just doesn't seem leaps and bounds above my rooted note 3. Not enough to warrant waiting for root which may or may not happen. Had strongly considered the nexus 6, but 32gb of storage on at&t is a deal breaker. I listen to a lot of music at work through my BT, and the cure tech in viper audio really helps my tinnitus. The edge screen has a lot of potential but sorta limited for now, although I do like the notifications, that part is cool, and really is an improvement. But overall, I gotta have root. So I guess I'll go back to my rooted note 3 and watch for developments here.
You'll be back. Root will come. LoL

When I upgrade my oldest daughter gets my hand me down, I'm giving her the edge and taking back my n3. Pop in the SD card, restore, and back in business. I kept my backups just in case.
You will be back. After ome week have no root which is painful I finally made it. Install exposed and some module. Now it is a super phone. Battery life increase significantly and smooth like silk.

I like the Edge in its stock version. I do agree that the edge screen is limited right now, but I'm sure it will soon become more useful. I have the Note 4 also and it offers that little twist to the N4 with the edge screen.
?
why should we pay £700 for a phone and then have to mess about to get better battery life etc??
...because you paid £700 for a device, complete with all the crap nobody uses!
Although, to each their own.

That is OK, I stole your image... Because I probably do it worse.
Currently downloading for me
What's the update for, though? VR?
VR and performance enhancements per Droid Life. I'm taking, Lollipop is coming soon, so even root is achieved, that would likely go away with Lollipop.
I just checked for updates on my Note 4 and its downloading something. Not sure yet what it is.

Just installed update. Wifi connection has improved.
I had no phone icon after the update reboot. Rebooted again and it came back. I use LTE exclusively so can't comment on wifi.

I thought maybe it was the placebo effect, but I've been running it for a over 3 hours since reboot and there's still much less lag than before the update.
It makes me giggle every time one of these update threads come out how people say wifi/cell signals better, this and that is better blablabla. As far as signals go unless the software running the hardware have serious flaws in it you are not going to see a difference at all. As far as signal strength goes there are so many variable that come into play was before you get anywhere near the software running the radio. Even when it comes to phone applications there is so many variable on how things run from phone to phone settings, environment, and the human using the phone being the major ones. Usually the only time you can really notice performance issues (at lease on a minor release) is if there is a serious that has been fixed or if a new issue has come up. Think the best we can hope for with this release is finding a root exploit. We have been on the previous SW version for a while now and not being able to root it so anything new is a step in the right direction to me. As far as not taking the update to each there own but in my eyes we don't have root so whats the worse that can happen.
Here is the version info on the new update:

Bah.. Lol, I'm not even worried about root and whether or not it comes(any more).. I am just enjoying the stock device for the first time in years! This one, I installed the update.. If root comes, and I can't use it because I took the update: "oh well"... Lol..
From s-pen monster Note4
It makes me giggle when people try to make themselves feel better or superior by being condescending to a helpful poster by posting unhelpful and useless information. The wifi performance did improve. I measured it. Also, it's in the change log.

Yea, I want root to. But tossed the coin and decided with the time that's expired thus far with no root, I am currently installing this update so to get hopefully the best experience out of my Note 4 as it is w/o root. Guess it's the chance you take...
This may be abit of a ironic question.
But this was more noticeable on my previous device.
flash a CR Custom Rom, boot up, nice and smooth, add xposed and a few mods and there was a noticeable degrade in performance.
Fair enough, am adding more programs to memory, This is to be expected.
but the noticeable effected on my previous device have put me off doing the same to this device.
Its rooted, but no TWRP or Xposed yet.
But i have just now got to a point of frustration i.e. LED Control (Default Colour) Back to Kill.
and various other small tweaks that are starting to grind on me not having access to them.
I used to use about 3 modules on Xposed, Xgel, Gravity and XPrivacy
(Most time i have Xgel Disabled) And very few options enabled for Gravity)
Has anyone had issues or performance, battery drain or slowness in the device? i.e. Input lag / wake screen lag.
I also understand everyone uses Xposed different, and some will have 100 Mods while others will only have 2.
I was just looking for the feedback from the users who have already Xposed themselves :silly:
I have a Rooted S7 Edge (Exynos), TWRP and Xposed installed with Flat Style Bar Indicators, Greenify, XTouchWiz and Youtube Adaway installed.
I did a benchmark with Antutu a couple of days ago without Xposed modules installed. I didnt feel any difference on performance and battery, it comes down to how you tweak your device.
Both benchmarks, beforehand I cleaned with SD Maid and Samsung Manager and I u'pped it "Performance Governer" using Kernel Auditor and Its both in Airplane mode.

I actually seen it one Note 5 and now on S7 Edge, probably because of the tripped Knox i hope there is a way to counter that, battery life were superbig before root, and now it's barely acceptable.

Yeah I had the note 5 and it was the same thing. That sucks. I've removed root and flashed back stock and still bit the crappy battery life. I mean, it's not bad but it's not as good as it was before

i hope a custom kernel can solve it, the problem is probably Knox counter 0x1 drain the battery at random times, we need someway to bypass it.

And why do you think that alone could drain the battery? Hardly that's the reason.
I noticed a downgrade when I flashed a rom, so i went back to stock which is just normal
[conspiracy=Samsung] they did something that makes 3rd party SoC's and Apps under perform to make themselves look good [\conspiracy]
Idk but something changes when u root. Happened on both Note 5 an gs7 what there is to do?
Same here... Performance drop ROOT
I don't know if Samsung does something similar to Sony when you root. Sony loses alot of the image post processing for low light situations the secodn you unlock it for liscensing reasons they don't want their software getting around from my understanding. Samsung might implement a similar thing on another component of the software for all we know if there truely is some drop in performance.
Weird how some experience a performance drop and others don't tho.
I'm rooted with exposed and I've only noticed slower boot time. I think it has a lot more to do with what apps/modules and processes are running then root alone.
Battery is best ive ever experienced in a phone aswell and that's coming off a note edge

Hello everyone
I've always jailbroken my iPhones in the past, since it was such a constrained environment.
Since last year I've been rooting my Android Phones. Currently my new Note 5 is not rooted, since I'm questioning if I should root.
I've seen other threads that superficially deal with the PROS/CONS of rooting. I want to hear yours.
My PROS for rooting:
Greenifying apps for battery saving (though I'm currently not sure how much battery life is really saved)
Installing Xposed - I always use "no high volume warning", and "background youtube videos"
Use Amplify for battery saving
Use of F.lux or CF.lumen (for removing blue light at night)
Install apps like Youtube downloader by Arter97
My current CONS of rooting:
Losing the phone's warranty
The energy I spend being obsessed with battery performance
The bugs I encounter from time to time with rooted devices
Please share your PROS/CONS.
Are you someone who used to root phones? Do you currently do so? Why?
Thanks! :good:

I'm not sure what carrier you're on, but at least in the US:
Pro: wifi hotspot/tether hack
Pro: custom ROMs
Con: rooting trips KNOX, which disables both Android Pay and Samsung Pay.
Samsung pay is super convenient; there's rare occasions when I'll forget my wallet when heading out of the house, but I never forget my phone. Another handy use is to add credit cards that you don't use often enough to warrant carrying in your wallet, but want to have on hand for certain times (ie a hotel-branded card that you only use at hotels, for example). Finally, Samsung has offered some pretty decent promos to start using Samsung Pay. I think they gave me a $50 phone bill credit.

Im personally not sure if i want to/need to root. Im happy with overall performance, but if i can make it even better, im happy to root, and i did root all my previous device. But this time, i just dont know, something stops me.
Well i rooted my S7 edge G935FD in warranty in the first hour i bought it 3 weeks back
I am on Phoenix Rom V2.0 , Am Getting 7 Hours SOT with mixed use of 4G,Wifi and Gps .. I have tried all roms in the last 3 weeks . All N7 Ports as well
Themestore is what i want with 100 percent compatibilty, The N7 Port Roms have fewer themes yet in store. where as S7 edge Themecenter is perfect. Dont know why its like that.
I have no ADS on phone, using xposed latest framework. and i have zero regrets
Rooting is very simple if you follow the steps exactly . nicely elaborated at xda , salute to the developers
Got the device 3 weeks ago and didn't root it till now. I use Package Disabler Pro (no root needed) to stop / disable all the Samsung bloat / crap and am pretty happy with battery life and overall performance of the phone.
No Root - its how use iPhone , no control about your Phone.

Total rubbish.
Disable what you don't need. It's easy enough. Hardly any of the Samsung apps eat battery life if not used.

I agree with you. without root you can disable 90% of apps you don't need and the other 10% eat an unnoticeable amount of battery but I like my toy and customised the hell out of it. Mostly debloat, visual mods, xposed and viper audio. personal preference and It's totally your choice to keep stock. damn good phone either way.

Hahaha..without root no point having a android phone . Call Recorder, Greenify, Adaway, Cerberus,Lightingwall, Seeder and most of all TB are useless without it. BTW, if you care for warranty then dont root
Yes, The device improves, Battery life and everything you can think about. Lucky Patcher is the big reason for me. plus greenifying system applications saves alot of battery, removing bloatware. so yes, root is highly recommended, but be careful, it voids the warranty....
I rooted my edge the first day I got it. I do this for a couple of reasons.
I want an ad free experience on my phone. I always try to buy ad free apps, but sometimes there's no alternative.
I like the Samsung phones, but not too fond of the Samsung apps, so I remove all the Samsung bloat.
For me, the volume level is standard too low, so I need root to alter the values.
This is why I like android. You can alter a really good phone and make it perfect.

I've rooted every other Android phone I've had, but not this one. I have ad-blocking with NetGuard, and realized most of the things I changed on my rooted phones were things that really didn't make any difference in how I used the phone. They were for fun, or look, or added changed minor little things that don't really matter all that much.
To each his own, though. For now I'm happy with the stock setup. Maybe someday I'll change my mind.
Android OS has come a long way from the early days. root is not really adding huge functionality like it did once before.
I'm am still tempted to root... but it becomes an addiction.. trying things just coz u can. But from experience on s5 best ROMs particularly in terms of stability and battery life were the stock ones.
I think if some major features are found on the next year flagships and they are late to be implemented on updates that would be a reason to reconsider rooting.
