A few days ago, I rooted my phone. My phone got hot and slow so I restored a stock image. Has anyone rooted their phone that actually uses it?
Did all those tutorials actually make the rooted phone worth using?

Been rooted for about close to 3 weeks now. Soon as i rooted, flashed TEKXV2 and all has been good so far. Never had an issue with phone not staying rooted. There are more than a few tweaks floating around that will definitely help improve things overall. But again, never had any type of issues staying rooted.
when you rooted, did you change the kernel governor to Interactive? That should have helped some with the phone getting hot.
It hasn't happened to me yet.

Just read all 80 pages of the how to root thread and then the post root problens thread. Everything you need is in there. Just seriously take the time to read and take notes and itll be the best rooted phone ever. Been a month for me. If you dont read it all people arent going to answer because of all the repetative questions that keep getting asked because of people not reading the existing info

The root on the s7 edge has been the best root for me so far and I've been rooting since the g1 days. If you follow all instructions you will have no problems. Use package disabled pro and turn off software update, there are 2, and you should be good with keeping root for as long as you want. I'm using viper and getting all day battery with tekhd ver2.
I'm running root on the stock ROM and so far so good. I have ViPER4Android + Dolby Atmos and things couldn't be better. The lag and heating issues lasted only for about the first 24 hours, after that battery life improved and the lag ceased a lot. Disable all the bloatware, set the cpu and you'll be fine.
I'm still rooted on stock PG9. After the first day, through heavy tweaking, I was able to get SOT above stock time. There is no lag, and benchmark numbers dropped by less than 2% due to the tweaks.
I have two S7 Edge phones. I rooted one last weekend and after a day, rooted the second one. Only the first one is still rooted today. I'm still not so sure I like the battery life on the rooted one. I changed the governor to on demand as was recommended by the OP in the root thread. After 17hrs standby, I have one hr screen time with 49% left to go. I average about 2-3 hrs on the non rooted phone with 1-2 days standby. I'll likely get less then two on the rooted one with just over a day of standby.
I seriously thought of going back to stock on the rooted one today but I'll hold out for a few more days.
I still have my Note 5, Note 4, Note Edge all rooted so I have plenty of toys to play with no matter what I do with the S7 Edge.
Use this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039 - in the "recommended next steps", there is a flashable zip that corrects all the kernel issues. I've been running flawlessly with it, better battery life than my wife's unrooted S7E.
i've rooted mine and love it!

I followed that guide as well and have achieved better battery life than stock... there is also this guide which helped me out a little bit more.

Out of curiosity, what kind of SOT time are you getting?

Just though i ask... been reading the how to root pages and making note of Q&A. Over the weekend by mistake phone update to latest FW PG1 - is it safe to root or i need to be on different FW?

Other than the international S7 Edge of course. :angel:
Been on current rooted 935T since July 10 - no issues. Tried it earlier but did not factory reset first and had many issues including frequent reboots.
Hi,
I'm currently looking for a new phone. I find the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge very interesting en beautiful devices, but I have one question where I cannot find an answer for through Google. With my current phone (Galaxy S3), after a few months the charging was going very slow. I know it is a common problem for a lot of phones. The solutions provided by internet: get a high quality adapter/cable, turn the device off while charging, use a battery saver app etc. etc.) are not reliable and/or expensive solutions. I see a little improvement if I use another cable/adapter but the only good permanent fix I had for this issue is using the boeffla kernel with a parandroid ROM. In this kernel I can configure a fixed charge current en I can ignore unstable power (so the phone doesn't negotiate with the poweradapter about how much current it takes, the phone takes just the current I set). I know it could probably damage the poweradapter/phone battery, but I'm willing tot take this risk when I can charge my device always quick, no matther where I charge my phone and with what cable/adapter.
Back to the S7 (Edge). If I google for "slow charging S7" I see lots of people that have problems with charging, simaler as I discribed above about my Galaxy S3. I know the Galaxy S7 (Edge) has quickcharge 2.0 support, but that only works with quickcharge enabled poweradapters. And for example, if I need to charge the phone in my car or with my powerbank (that doesn't support quickcharge), and probably even after a few months with the standard cable/poweradapter that comes with the device, I'm afraid charging wil go very slow again.
So my question is: Is there an solution to set also a fixed charging current for the Galaxy S7 / Galaxy S7 Edge? I'm planning to root my phone and I'm probably going to install a custom ROM, so I don't mind installing a custom ROM/kernel as long as it's stable.
Regards,

I have had my s7 edge since it was released here in the uk and I can tell you that it charges at the same speed and time as it did the first day I got it. I have not experienced any slow down . The only thing I have experienced is that the battery is lasting longer after each update the s7 edge recieves. It takes about 1 hour and 30 mins for my s7 edge to charge up from 5 percent.
Ok, thanks for your message! Well, I guess I'm going to buy the phone and hope that charging the device quickly won't be a problem.
Hey guys,
Long time Android user/rooter, just moved from the note 5 to the S7 edge.
Picked up a new S7 edge from Swappa and I'm seeing very high cpu usage (constant 20-25%) from system_server on firmware Pd2 with a fresh reset.
Any suggestions to get this down to acceptable levels?
I'm not rooted yet, but may root soon, I am on totalwireless so I doubt I receive any system updates from them.
I am so happy you just posted this because I'm having the exact same issue I already tried reflashing it....
Are you also having issues with your cell phone service sticking??? I lose service and I have to make a phone call to reconnect
Okay guys, I am not sure if any thread has been made about this before etc. I hope I am not spamming the forums with another yet answered question 1000 times But...
I have a Samsung Galaxy s6 edge plus, I attempted a root and my battery went from good to draining like a son of a b***h. (The root failed so I stock rom'd it)
So in my attempts of fixing purchased a new battery fitted it. same issue drains so quick.
So I then rooted my phone which this time rooted successfully. (woo noob did something right) and the battery was perfect. couldn't ask for more it lasted for over 24 hours brilliant!
But now I have unrooted and put it back to stock Rom. and same issue again battery draining so quickly.
So is there anyway to fix this without rooting my phone? something i've missed out. I don't want to give up hope! I have probably missed something out or w/e
But I can say the phone gets hot for no reason what so ever. I have tried sending it back (after first stock rom) but Samsung noticed some how it had been rooted(or attempted atleast) Anyhow hope to hear something of some of you androiders who actually know what you're doing :laugh: :laugh: hopefully this will fix my phone!
Thanks in advanced. and again sorry if this question has already been solved. been looking through though only thing I found was rooted fixs
Try package disabler pro from GP. It disables all bloatware, about doubled battery life on my GS6+, and without rooting

I just bought this phone, have to say quite a good phone so far
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge got the Oreo update lately and the battery was just draining like crazy. On top of that, charging it seemed to take up to 10 hours and draining it less than 1.
Never had an issue until update. Fresh installed using Odin (direct 8.0 AP). Still draining like a wild fire burns.
Are there ANY solutions to fix this? I'm not sure what more info to provide so ask away and I shall answer you. I know it's a short question.
