Android kernel and system battery drain - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

Is it possible to reduce the battery drain from this without root?
I disabled all bloatware, but I still cannot get through the day.
I don't want to lose android and Samsung pay by rooting.
Any suggestions?

How did you disable the bloatware? I mean which app did you use? Package Disabler Pro or BK Disabler? Or something else?

I used package disabler pro.
Thanks

Have you tried Greenify? You can use it with or without Root. In your case without. It will hibernate many apps to save your battery.

I'll try that and let you know.
If I root? Will I be able to use android pay or Samsung pay?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

I setup greenify, but I'm not sure if it will help much if the apps killing my battery are related to the android os and android kernel which it will not shut down.
Do all Android phones have this issue? Or is it better with the newer phones like s8
I need to stay with a att branded phone because I need wifi calling

Android pay works but Samsung pay does not.
I froze everything on the bloat list in Packager Disabler Pro. And a few other things on the system list. Like Direct TV and most of the Samsung junk.

As for rooting I followed this procedure: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...eres-how-rooted-nougat-s7-edge-g935t-t3567502
But for applying the root.bat I used this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71700562&postcount=688
I have been running the root for about 6 weeks now and have not had any problems with the two post above. Just follow the root.bat in post #688 and make sure you follow the way @Quickvic30 says in that post. You should have no problems and takes about 20 minutes to complete.

Will this work on QE1 build?

Yes. I am on QE1 myself.

Is there a way to go back if it does not?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

Yes in the post it gives you how to return to stock. Before doing anything, make sure you have all the files on your computer. Get the latest stock files, I believe QD2. I know QE1 is the latest version but I had QD2 and got QE1 Ota. Then both version of Odin 3.12.3 and 3.12.7. Get the Adb drivers and the root.bat files. And finally the eng.img provided in the first post.
Good luck...

What did you do to get that great of battery life? I was just rooted but went back to help with battery and performance. Just curious I might want to root again

I followed the 2 links in the above post. Just follow those and you should not have any problems. Make sure you follow the instructions in the #688 post and that will install the ROOT.BAT and make a few tweaks that will help with lag and your battery.

Someone said there was a fix coming, perhaps for GPS etc. Definitely sounds too small to be KitKat? I think would need to restore stock odexed in order to install.

This just confirms that we WONT be getting an update any time soon to 4.4.
Both Samsung and ATT have some sort of BS going on. Probably something with the additional bloatware not working with 4.4 and is the reason why they have not released 4.4 to the public.
This type of BS may push me over the edge with both Samsung and ATT.
Samsung needs to pull an Apple and not allow any carriers to add junk to their phones, thats one thing I respect about Apple.

Well my phone somehow managed to update itself while in my Otterbox holster. I lost my root. Is it safe to re-root using Kingo again?

Just made sure the phone had USB Debugging on and put it in MTP mode when plugged into USB. Other than that I just let Kingo do its thing. It did reboot one time during the root process but was re-detected by Kingo after restarting and the process continued. Also got the warning about mtkCamera being potentially unsafe during part of the process but told it to goahead anyway. Using Kingo 1.2.0

Your modified APN settings wont change unless you do a prl or profile update, cant remember which one was it. That link that I provided is a work around to get free hostpot if you got your APN settings gray out after the update like myself. I just installed the PF2 update and haven't been able to check if still works but it does work on the previous updates. The only bad thing is that you need to restart your phone everytime you want to turn on your hostpot.
Sent from my SM-G935P using XDA-Developers mobile app
I just tried this work around on the newest update PF2 and it doesnt work, they fixed it. Dont update your phone if you still want to have hostpot.
Updated: It does work, after several tries got it working.

Has anyone tried the hiddenmenu.apk from PB5 on the newer firmware to see if it allows editing of the apn settings? It worked on the note 5 when this happened. If you took an older hiddenmenu.apk and pushed it to the newer firmware, it allowed for editing. I think the one from LL even worked on MM.

Thanks. My phone is coming this week, so I'll try it if someone hasn't by then. Whoever does, just remember to rename the old one first and set permissions.
It has worked on the Note 5 and a few other devices...so it is worth a shot. Also, has anyone tried to edit the telephony.db with an sql editor? All require root though...sorry.
It didn't work on my 935U ROM.

I wonder if it is because you are on that firmware instead of 935P? I wonder if because it is basically a carrier free version if that is why? Did it ever work on a U firmware?

I could edit my APNs so far under 2 circumstances.
1. After I had my 935P DSU'ed.
2. After my phone was DSU'ed, I flashed the phone to 935U and put in my AT&T SIM card. Although the 935U ROM automatically filled in the AT&T APN, I could still add, delete, or edit my own.
When I rebooted my 935U phone with my Sprint SIM, the phone got locked down again after a Sprint profile update.
Once my phone contract is over & Sprint DSUs it, it can then become a true 935U phone.

New Update - 1498.71MB - What could it contain?

I'm happy with my S7 Edge other than some intermittent issues with WiFi so I don't plan to root (and I'm surprised there is a root method :laugh: (I don't get on XDA that often )) but I can't help but wonder what this 1.4GB update contains. I'm at work now but will do some digging up when I have free time to determine if I have something to do after work or if I'm just going to ignore and continue with my stock S7.

I don't have much installed and do have a 32GB SD card that is 5% utilized. The problem was Autoboy Dash Cam videos eating up all the internal storage, so that's cleared up but strange even, is the fact that PG1 is 555 MB from PF2 (See here). My S7E build is PF2 but the download is advertised as 1.4GB :silly:.
I wondering if anyone can shed some light here. I'm tempted to see what happens but either way but 1.4 when PG1 is advertised at 555 MB is just silly.
EDIT: Ok, I power cycled the phone after clearing space as I mentioned and the download size is advertised correctly now. (599.36MB)
Yeah that's crazy man. You should figure out if there's a way to save your dash cam vidoes to the SD instead

This is not for download only. After download file have to extracted somewhere and process installation files in cache. That why your phone need 1.4GB of free space to update your phone. After installation downloaded file and extracted files are deleted from temporary files and clear cache files from process.
I'm getting an error after downloading the update. It says "Install Interrupted" it downloads then reboots and looks like it's taking but then shows this error. It also pops up a message that says No Firmware. I was rooted but I'm back to stock and Official Status. Thanks
Hmm the update showing up on my phone is only 599.36mb. I'm on PF2.

You have to give it a while to settle in. Stay on this update as long as you were on the other and then test.

Maybe I just need an unbranded stock rom?

well, you have it in download mode in that pic, so it seems that youre wanting to flash a tar file via Odin. The pic is a bit blurry, but it looks like a G900F, is this the case? Does it not boot? What are you trying to accomplish? Whats the symptom?

I had downloaded the file but when I rebooted I got that? I thought when using twrp after I chose the downloaded file, it would reboot with the new Rom?

Yes I think I just need a Rom now for Samsung galaxy s5 g900f. I can't seem to find it, the ones i tried downloading were ridiculously slow eta 8 hours and keep falling.
I've installed Odin and the Samsung usb drivers on my pc.

well, if youre able to boot to download mode, then you might just need TWRP and a custom ROM. sammobile.com/firmwares (specifically https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900F/ for your phone) is THE reputable place for tar.md5's, but is known for its slow speed and if your computer goes into hibernate at all, the downloads will fail. But, you might be able to get away with flashing TWRP, putting your choice of ROM on to your sd card and installing it from there.

androidfilehost is always a good alternative, but finding one can be daunting. The G900F is a very popular phone, so it shouldnt be that tough to find actually
here is a german 6.0.1 tar.md5. Should have whatever other language youd need in it as well

Ok So I tried using that rom with Odin. But it seems to have failed. And it tells me to use "kies" recovery.
I even searched that And found the software, but it wouldn't run on Windows.
So just what am I doing wrong here?
I downloaded Odin installed it, ran it under ap I chose the German Rom listed above. After a while it appears next to ap so I start the process off and eventually it says FAIL on Odin and my mobile says I need to go into recovery with kies.
Uhm this is starting to annoy me now [emoji15]

sms/mms works fine after you flash fix step #9. For Wi-Fi tether you will need to use galaxy tools apk, to use click enable hotspot, then click wifihotspot settings, done. I really can't find anything else not working, but the usual fingerprint.

Nice! I see you are getting LTE as well. I'm going to give it a go after a bit more research for I am on a different bootloader and modem. We shall see. Thank you for your contributions!

You should provide original thread link to Ram kernel and stuff, so people can download there and thank them.
Thanks for providing everyone here cdma instructions and fixes.
I've been using this Rom on this phone but I use gsm. Running really smooth.
Just fyi. I went there and thanked them as well. I just started here because it was Sprint related.

Had to install nova was a bit tricky getting past the fc. But after that it was fine. Battery consumption was a bit high but I believe that was my kernel.

On thread there is a systemui fix. And also a Rom control zip.
But you don't flash until you boot Rom to setup screen. In other words:
Follow directions here but when Rom boots to setup screen, reboot to recovery and flash they modified nougat system ui zip. Then reboot and continue. All should be fine! Was for me.
Even though i eventually went back to nova launcher cause that's what i use!
Also not to conflict with op here. But I've found that Ram v5 works best. But that could just be me.
Here's me on Nova Prime! And Rom control pic.

I have downloaded it but been so happy with this setup I have held off for now. There's even a v9 floating about. Don't think it's released for all variants yet.

Oh. I forgot. What might be working good on mine is Force doze. I found this force doze app, and it works on this Rom.
If you want a try!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-forcedoze-force-doze-mode-screen-t3377694
I installed it as a system app though!
Also, yes 5hrs sot is very good!
