Custom ROM or not? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello guys,
Lets say that I'm a basic user on my phone.. Camera, social apps, gps, browser.. that's it.
But something that I really miss from my previous phone (running CM), was double tap to wake and Greenify (Pro edition).
Greenify without root is a pain in the ass.. And those apps from Playstore to DTW are horrible. So my questions:
1 - Is worth it to root my phone because of those two features?
2 - Is there any custom rom or custom kernel that can provide me the DTW ?
Thank you very much.

Double tap to wake is not a feature or option in
any of the current custom roms for S7/S7 Edge.
There is no custom kernel or any mod which has
the double tap to wake feature for the S7/S7 edge.
Good luck, have a great day!

If it's only.those two features , I would say just stay on stock . I don't think yon need greenify as well. The native doze is doing quite good I think. And theres no way for dt2w .

[ROM][AOSP][Hermes] AOSP V1.56 by Vova.Vafin

This ROM was made by Vova. It's the base of android 5.0.2. Very smoothing. (Big thanks to Vova !! )
As I know, this ROM includes of Miravision & Clearmotion, which are not included in current CM12.1 ROM.
Here is the link https://yadi.sk/d/_WxM8YOCmC2jd
Vova's ROM is good - but, unfortunately, even he has not been able to fix the bluetooth car phone problem.

You're right. I have installed it 15min ago and am going back to MIUI for the same reason.
I have not been able to find a CM or AOSP ROM without this problem
I agree with the sentiment, I have rotated around AOSP, AICP, Cyanogen and MIUI ROMs trying to find the best compromise/.
Conclusion: Custom ROMs will never be acceptable because of lack of released driver source code.
So peel back as many layers of the onion (MIUI) as you can to get closer to the underlying AOSP while still enjoying the benefits of factory drivers.
Why did I use AOSP ROM, especially for this one? Because it contains miravision&clearmotion. Regarding of BT in car, I won't use it so less impact on me. Another one its camera is pretty powerful comparing to MIUI stock one.

Are you serious? Which Aosp Rom and which Camera are you using? The AOSP Roms I tried had poor camera apps. I liked the MIUI Stock Cam better.

Yes, I noticed that.
This ROM was updated so frequently. That means developer really pays attention to maintain this ROM. Great !
i use vova's aosp since v1.52, little thing i can say about this rom based on my daily usage are:
- no crash/random reboot so far
- better battery vs stock miui
- very clean (yes it's kind of lonely, just put all of your fav apps there!)
- since it is aosp, you might missing some features, so i installed xposed framework > gravitybox to enable something like clear all in recent
- camera app is very very good compared to other custom rom, fast capture too! just enable "zero shutter delay" in setting and you are ready to slam your shutter button :good: , beautification works very well, and the latest update HDR is working already. video recording 720p 120fps, 1080p 30fps
- for LED notification, i use Lightflow, it works well. some settings for Lightflow: 1) move it to system apps so system won't kill it. 2) enable root mode in Lightflow setting (i don't know if it works with root mode disable, but since i rooted this rom, i just enable it anyway). the problem is every updates you need to move it again to system app and set all your notification settings again, so i suggest you to backup its settings so you can simply restore it later :good:
- clearmotion + miravision :highfive:
- radio fm and bluetooth i cannot comment because i don't use it for my daily drive
patch v1.61
I'm running on v1.61. Overall it's good. But i can access the develepor setting
because the setting get force closed when i tap "about phone". Vova vavin has fixed it and he had upload the new link in needrom. But if it possible, i want the patch only, so i dont need to download the room again. Can anyone help?

Soft navigation buttons "One button Nav" in custom ROMs

I like the Moto G5p feature "One button Nav". Is this still available on custom roms ? .
Clarification of what I am referring to - it replaces the Back:Home:Menu (triangle:circle:square)soft buttons with swipe gestures on the finger print sensor.
I would like to know that too. As far as I know, it's not available in any other custom roms.
It is available on every (or almost every) custom rom.

Can confirm in nearly every ROM. Usually in the settings application under either gestures or buttons.

I have my Moto G5+ for around 3 days, today I'm getting stable with Ressurection Remix, Magisk working well, Android Pay also, and your features are there too. I just can't figure how to make 1080p 60fps recording, but everything else is flying. cheers

[HELP] Standby stopping notifications in Nougat

I am using the latest version of Android, with the June 2017 security patch (my device is G4 Plus XT1640) rooted with magisk and xposed (just the module of the gravity box, and in magisk the viper4android module).
But something happens that bothers a lot, and this happens in the android since the early versions of its existence, which is the problem of interrupting the notifications after a time in standby (something that iOS never seen happen)
In my case, I wanted notifications of specific apps not to be interrupted (like WhatsApp, Instagram, Google+, etc.) but that's not the case, I know in version 7.0 Nougat, it has the battery optimization feature, where it manages to suspend application activities while it is in standby (or deep sleep), however, I deactivated battery optimization in applications that I wish not to be suspended, but it continues to suspend.
It may be until the system is not suspending the application, but the connectivity (in the case Wi-Fi) however in the Wi-Fi network settings I enabled it to not be suspended for inactivity, but even so I do not get notifications applications. I got to perform a test by sending a message on whatsapp to me after 20 minutes on standby, and it shows only one check instead of two check, when I unlock the screen, and open the application, the notifications appears all at once.
Is there a way (without requiring root resources or xposed modules) to resolve this problem? (Or is the solution only with root and xposed features?)
@AzuosDX I would recommend to uninstall Gravity Box and make sure you don't run applications like greenify or other doze apps like amplify. Please test again.

Well, the problem is that I can not go without using the features of the Gravity Box, because in it I use the resources of:
(Note: I did the test without the Gravity Box, and the delay stays the same)
* Modify the status bar (center the clock)
* Enable the download and upload consumption counter
* Customize navigation bar buttons (example: open WhatsApp with two touch, open the application drawer by holding the button, and etc.)
the Gravity Box I only use these features, and they do not directly affect the applications installed on the system, and I do not use any hibernation application, and even then I would not have them interfere if I enable specific apps to not be hibernated (just like I mentioned in the battery optimization part)
I think it's a problem in Kernel optimization apps, because I installed HEBF (an app that "promises" improved battery consumption, stability, smoothness in the system, etc.). And another app that is L-Speed, when I was using HEBF, I actually did some tests and I noticed that it does not interfere with the delay of notifications, but L-Speed ​​is another story because after analyzing the application thoroughly, it can delay writes on the system, modify parts of the kernel responsible in standby (Kernel Sleepers) among other things.
The question is whether anyone else could use this same application to know if it really is the problem, because if other devices do not, then my device might be a combination of factors that lead to delay in notifications ( for example: Root + Xposed + L-Speed ​​or Magisk + Xposed + L-Speed ​​or HEBF + L-Speed ​​and etc.)
I think I will reinstall the System Stock again, do everything like this now, but without using the L-Speed and HEBF customizations, and analyze if they really are the problem.
But is there any application that keeps other specific applications awake within the system? without hibernating them, or suspending them?

InvictaOS (Stock kernel) + Viper + Lighting Blade + Greenify.
I've deactivated the battery optimization for the apps too.

You the only thing that's the same is viper4android. Rom, kernel profile, greenify isn't the same like op. So maybe it's viper4android?

I've faced this issue before installed V4A.
Other problem is that my phone takes 3 ~ 5 seconds to turn on the screen after I push the power button or fingersensor.

The screen on problem is fixed AFAIK at least in the latest InvictaOS version. Which one have you? Also ambient display can have a impact depending on version.

You should test without greenify or make sure you excluded the apps within greenify.

My s6 'setup'!

Hi, i want show the perfect setup for me for my old S6.
First of all, i want to begin with the rom. I am using the Resurrection Remix Oreo Ver 6.1.0. Rooted with Magisk v 16.
I have made a lot of changes in settings like to use the fingerprint immediately after a reboot or i have transfer the clock to the left and many more.
But the most important for me are the Magisk Modules. I am using Youtube Vanced, RR Low InCall Volume Fix, RAM management fixes bt crok, Pixel Experience, Google Face Unlock, Debloater (Terminal Emulator) and Android P DP3 Emojis.
Also, i am using Xposed Modules: Android P-ify, Flat Style Keyboard, ForceDarkModeOreo, I Said OFF!, MinMinGuard, NoOverlayWarning, P Animations and Screenshot Delay Remover - Mod.
I have removed the Messages stock and i have installed Google's Messages, also i have removed the stock Camera and i have download a miniuser123 GCam, removed the Files App and installed Google's Files Go, same with the music app i have installed Music Play. I have also flashed Product Sans font and installed Google's Pixel 2 XL live wallpapers. For icons i am using O8.
I have replaced the volume slider with the Android's P Volume Slider.
Please suggest me other "tweaks" that i can use to make my phone look like a beast.
Thanks for reading my thread.

Miui : notifications problems. How to solve this ?

Hi,
Since i've bought this device, i'm happy with it regarding the price and the overall quality. But one thing is bothering me each day a little more : the notifications. One day i receive them all, no problem, next day i'm not informed for a new snap, next day with whatsapp, receiving Gmail notif 1h later after receiving the mail... Very annoying !!
I've tried stock Miui, EU china and EEA global... can't see any improvement, still not regular... I love Miui full gestures and still want it, custom roms have problem with gcam and whatsapp video call, i use both of them each day... i've seen custom miui rom but all in russian... not that much info... is it really safe to use them ? I'm a hard user of google products, from phone to youtube, maps, gmail, agenda, drive...
Is debloating with Saki tool a way to solve those problems ? any others ideas guys ?
I've heard about this issue so much. It seems to be a problem with MIUI and I've not seen a fix for it. I can recommend custom roms where the Gcam/Whatsapp video issue is reportedly fixed though. Pixel Experience (non-CAF version) and Lineage OS (by letsmakecakes) reported that they have fixed these issues. You can try them as I've read they have good battery life too (reportedly better than MIUI). I'm currently on Syberia and waiting for these fixes to be ported to other roms too, which i think will happen soon.
One advice if you switch to Custom roms; don't flash custom kernels. Stick with the one provided in the rom. I've had huge battery drains with evira 3.8 and 4.1.
Yes, i've just seen that the PE rom seems to have both working now !! i think i'm gonna try it or another solid rom (love AEX !!) as soon as it's confirmed it works. For the full nav gestures, any advice ? it's the thing which make me stick to Miui too : a REAL full screen with perfect getures within have to move my hand to the bottom of the phone each 15 sec

The edge gestures implemented in rom in my experience are a bit laggy but you can always use an app like ubikitouch or fluid navigation gesture to solve the problem

I've tried a few roms (AOSPX, Havoc, LOS, Bootleggers, Descendant, crDroid and now Syberia) and almost -if not- all of them had fullscreen navigation options built in. Personally, I am using "Navigation Gestures - Swipe Gesture Controls!" by XDA on play store. I paid for the app but it's cheap and works increadibly reliable. Even the free version should have more customizations than MIUI. (Don't use hide navbar option in the app, disable nav bar in the ROM settings)

I sure hope so. The fixes should be open and shared among the xda developers. I'm sure every maintainer would like to implement this fix on their next update.
