Community development strength

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

You're a power user. Can the Samsung Galaxy S7 keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Samsung Galaxy S7. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Since it has been 3 days only from official launch, we should wait for the scene to begin it's journey.

I'm pretty sure that it will have same support as S6, and Edge variants.

BUT, there is always a "but", international one has been finally shipped with Exynos Social.

Has to be seen if it has community support (I wish it would!)

Too early.... even i purchased it first day is available....
Keep it stock for a while.... then if someone not beats me try to port edge panel from bigger brother...
People still waiting for more reviews, but in my opinion is far more then excellent compared to my S5(even no removable battery.... let's see how performs but as for now seems lot better than S5)
Digging here and there, seems we have a lot of hidden features to try to enable, so our devs will have lot to do.... then add what sammy removed here(lockscreen effects, waether, pedometer asf...)
Give it few weeks, work will start, know a dev will upgrade.... a great dev hahahaha

great dev

A really great dev is needed in order to exploit this one... I only hope it doesn't take to long because I can't live without root.

be really patient and calm guys...even a dev come out..... still no apktool working for MM..... so maybe instead of moaning, try to support @iBotPeaches apktool developer .....
When we have this..... mods will come for sure..... roms even.....
My project is port edge panel....let's keep stock my S7 for a while(ahahahah i never thought i can live so long with a stock rom lol)

I'm worried about the Exynos version. Had the s5 with Samsung's chip and never really got a decent alternate ROM, and not a hint of something not TW based.

hey mate,

installed today TWRP, no root as i push and pull via adb
Unluckily with odexed rom not a lot of mods can be done... no luck with edge panel, as jar cannot be touched....
Port can be done easily, (all frameworks and jars are the same, so with odexed we will have edge panel and a lot of hidden features )
I plan(with my friend Tamirda, i'm not a dev) to build a stock deodexed rom for now.... a good base to start with

How's it going with the deodexing? I'm trying to deodex for hours now, still can't deodex services.jar. That's the only one left, everything else got deodexed just fine.

process is going fine.... but comparing seems services.jar remains deodexed...... i used sva deodexer, you?
have you tried to rename arm64 to arm to see if goes ok?
i will lok at it when home from work

I hope development strength will be stronger than my previous phone (lg gflex 2) lol.
I live in Greece so i got the exynos version. Bootloader is unlocked but i personally will wait until a good rom comes out in order to trigger knox.
until now phone is super fast , no lag all are ok i dont miss root that much.

Sorry for the late reply, I'm using lordroid's deodexer. And I've fixed my problem, now everything is deodexed, will flash it today and see if it will boot. If it does, I'll try to mod it little by little (will start at 3minit)

EDIT: Okay so the deodexed system just booted; will try to mod later, I'm still at work haha

EDIT2: Game tools seems to crash (at least on my deodexed system). Let's see if game tools will work with yours. (Anyway, it's just bloat and will probably be included to my debloat list)

EDIT3: Seems like you're right, no apktools available seems to work (yet). This is a bummer.

No Root, No Recovery, bootloader locked, etc.

I prefer AOSP/LineageOS roms. There are currently some bugs in BT calling and ambient display, but overall it's good.

How is the development for this phone these days? Looking to a new phone (current is an ailing z2). Looking at S7, OnePlus 3t, and the LG G6.

I would suggest getting the oneplus 3T easier for rooting and much more customization/development

I'm in opposit situation. I have OP3t now, and it's the best phone i think, but I don't like it's size :/
I'd like to sell OP3t and buy something smaller like S7, but I hate TouchWizz. Are there good aosp roms for s7 enough for daily driver and with good camera and battery? I love stock feelng of OP3t, but s7 with clean android would be awesome. What should I do?
Any other good smartphone with 5" screen and great dev support?

Nothing after all this time proves the strength of Samsung bootloader encryption
