Got my S7 Edge SM-935W8 Installed TWRP, CF Auto root and xposed. Before i did that i used the stock phone for a day. FASTEST PHONE IVE EVER USED. NOTHING COMES CLOSE TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS PHONE OUT OF THE BOX. THIS IS NOT A POsT TO BASH THE S7 EDGE
Off the go xposed did not work well. Bootlooped every other restart and added a lot of time to startup.
Modules I installed:
Boot Manager
BubnleUpNp
Clean Lockscreen
Custom Share
Dynamic AlarmIcon 2
Flatstyke bar indicator
Flatstylekeyboard
Gravitybox
Greenify
Luckypatcher
RootCloak
Smooth system progress bar
XGPM
Xinstaller
Xprivacy
Xprivacy in app info
Xtouchwhiz
Was it easy to root?what method did you follow please?only rooted once and was nexus 6p never rooted another?cheers
So does that mean you are going to flash back the stock ROM. I'm undecided on whether to root or not. I've been jailbreaking since the first iPhone, and the S7 edge is my first ever android device. I must say I can do almost everything I used to on jailbreak but with a lot less effort.

I have the same config, except I obtained root with TWRP + SuperSU.
Runs better than Stock, and No Reboots.
Are you sure you got the correct Xposed version ? (Arm64, SDK 23)
Out of the box, First thing I did was Power up in bootloader, Flashed TWRP. Root is a must for me.
A little confused as to the OP? What exactly are you stating or trying to convey?

Use Xposed from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960
This is specifically made for TW devices, because Samsung makes modifications to ART and other things that break the normal Xposed. I installed it on my S7e and it works like a charm

you sir, are a lifesaver!
thank you so much!
Sorry half the post was removed....
Anyways I wrote this because if you go far enough to trip Knox you aren't going to want to run stock TW. With the features this phone has I can't see myself running cm or a AOSP distro if I lose out on the hardware's capabilities. For a thousand dollar phone the price tag doesn't meet the performancs running stock with root and xposed.
I used wanams custom Xposed v80 x64. The TWRP exynos version and Cf-root. This version of Touchwhiz is 8gb. There is ALOT of RAM usage on the device stock. With Xposed framework on top the device is lagging behind what it should be.
I'm dying to get a custom TW running because this device is a beast but there is to much on top of the essentials that are holding back the s7.
If you are thinking of going the mod route you should not use stock. When the time comes flash a custom TW.

Wasn't a big deal for me, as this is probably the sixth phone I had with Fort Knox.
I wanna start playing with this thing but Sam mobile doesn't have our firmware up yet.
Any other firmware I can use to reflash stock if I run into trouble playing with this thing?
I'm also on the w8 variant and like to have everything on my laptop before I make the leap

You shouldn't need another. With Odin you can flash the recovery again if it fails but after you have a recovery you can just factory reset it and it well go back to default. Go to the TWRP EXYNOS thread and follow his steps. Its a smooth process
Thanks for the reply Benny, that won't work if I want to experiment with the custom rom available tho will it.

Download Nandroid manager and online Android backup. Your gonna have to get TWRP and root
Make a backup and save it to your SD card. Copy it somewhere safe, and make sure you can flash it if anything goes wrong.
Or you can hold off and wait for Sam's mobile. In due time it will have a stock image for your provider
Hi Benny, it's awesome you got it all working. I have same model of the S7 Edge. I am rooted, however I didn't install TWRP yet, because I was confused about the instructions in the "exynos twrp" thread.
Did you glad the "dm-verity- disabler "? I'm not sure what that does, but it was part of the instructions. Also did you do a factory reset when flashing twrp? Because my phone is all setup up now, I don't want to do a factory reset to get twrp.
Please advise
before i root i need to make sure sammy can resolve all 6.0.1 issues, mainly crappy 3d gaming performance. happens on ALL 6.0.1 devices, on Note 5 running angry birds 2 for 5 minutes results in awful lag and stuttering same with s7e, however 5.1.1 Note 5 runs it perfect!!!
i mainly play ppsspp emulator and angry birds 2, and this stupid bug must be resolved!

That file removes the encryption on internal storage. It's required if you wish to have TWRP have read write access to the internal storage. Wichita is required if you plan on using custom rom in the future.
I'm thinking what you could do (which is what I'm gonna do) is flash the auto root method. Then do a full backup with titanium to sd card. Then install TWRP and do full wipe and no diversity script and TWRP root method.
Then reload my titanium backup.
Think this will best of both worlds as I'll have read write access and won't lose all my data.
Can anybody confirm or correct me on my thinking here?

Hi, I'm a newcomer about modding.
I wanted to ask if is possible to root the zf2 (ze551ml) without hard resetting it.
I found this video, is it reliable? youtube[dot]com/watch?v=hkl15JIsAWY
Thanks

There are several root methods; I would suggest using the one click root method for your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61687944&postcount=4
As a precaution, I would download files directly from the owners post in XDA instead of following youtube links as they do alter the workings of your phone at a low level. You can find plenty of guides on the forum and rooting will not hard reset your phone.

My warranty will be valid if i unroot?
Ota will work?
I want to do that for the bloatware and for stop the background processes i dont want (hi Facebook), there is anything else cool i can do with a rooted device?
Thank you!
Edit: i even want to remove the energy saver application, is there any problem if i do that?

Your warranty should be valid unless you unlock the bootloader, and even then I saw a thread about relocking it.
For OTA, i always unroot before then reroot after to prevent any incompatibility problems but most users don't have a problem.
As for uses of root, look around on XDA there are plenty of uses.

Wait, why worry about OTA's unless you have a stock based rom, am I thinking right here?

And if i ard reset, the root stays or i have to do it again?
Sorry for repost, since im going to play with cpu governors and other kernel stuff, is it possible to reset the kernel to factory settings? Just in case i do some damage, for go back to default settings
Doing a Hard Reset will remove your root so you need to startover and re-root again, if rooting alone satisfies you(eg: no custom rom, no xposed, no custom kernel) then you don't have to play with the kernel cause you need to unlock bootloader(hence you can always turn it back to default/factory settings thru relock)..
there are many ways to root, i recommend Tethered Recovery Method or One Click Root Method as if it is easy and fast, in my situation i use tethered recovery so i can flash xposed without unlocking bootloader. It's up to you what method would you prefer but beware if you did something wrong(Didn't follow the procedure correctly)with the process it may cause your device to brick.

Hey Team,
I'm using Note3 since 3 years now, its noticed that the phone is becoming too slow and if i have to open an app i will have to press on that apps icon twice to open. suddenly wifi & data goes OFF have to manually turn it ON again.
My phone is rooted.
since its 3 years old, am i facing such issues or is there something which i could to fix this kinda issues?
i have more than 3 GB free memory in my Internal card & have a external card with around 8 GB free.
Have done "wipe cache partition" too - no improvement.
any other advice or solution would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the answer, but already i have removed all the junk apps. Will do a factory reset & give it a try.
I'm not sure if its fact, but have always heard that android when it gets old (like 2 yrs in same OS), it will slow down the phone, is it true? anybody had faced such issue?

Not true. I have note 3 for 3 years now. Now on stock custom rom with exposed. No lag at all. Maybe something with your device.

Hello, i upgraded from Redmi Note 3 Pro to this beautiful phone and i just wanted to know what precautions should i take before rooting it on the original fw that it came with?
Because every rom i tried on Redmi Note 3 Pro just slowed down after weeks so i just stuck with MIUI, thanks.

I can't tell any ROMs (stock or custom) that don't slow down after weeks of usage: when you install and use lots of apps, use heavy themes and effects, not close heavy apps after use, not restart your phone regularly, etc.?
You can search the forums for useful tips. :fingers-crossed:

You probably misread, or i wasn't clear. I'm not searching custom rom and i stated why. I just wanted to know how could i root redmi note 7 without bricking it. Are there any precautions , something i should know? Plus, it already came unlocked ,because when i booted, in the bottom of splash screen it said unlocked.

If you just want to know how to root RN7 then follow the thread linked above. That thread covers almost everything you'd like to do with your phone. Just proceed as directed and enjoy the power of Android. :angel:
The 2nd paragraph in your 1st post was unnecessary though.
Hi guys, I'm on Android 11 Beta 7 at the moment, using IN2020.
Felt that my battery drain is high. My SOT is around 3 to 4 hours.
So thinking of getting back to stable and see how it goes.
Appreciate all advice. Thanks.
You should be able to adjust the settings on the Oxygen Updater app to download the standard OS11. Remember that this will wipe your phone, so you might want to back everything up first.

Thanks RD.
Have tried a few ways. The only workable method is to reinstall Android 10 version then upgrade to Android 11. But of cause, it means wiping clean the phone when it downgrades to Android 10.
