GUIDE: DEBLOAT a Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge

[KPMcClave]

You need to configure using a dolby or viper4 application. Its a long process and it changes completely the way the phone sounds.

Use this for debloat and saving battery but the phone is pretty much like using a samsung s4. It becomes totally unresponsive over a period. To me if you are rooting and want speed go with http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...guide-to-fix-s7-lag-root-s7-variants-t3441715. The user also uses some of the features from this thread but aimed at better responsive phone.

Root it if you only want the audio hack and for debloating. Else i will stick to stock which is way faster than rooted phones after over two months of use alternating between stock and root.

I agree about speed and smoothness. I also found root caused a pretty significant drop off in battery life.

I'm on the latest Verizon firmware now. I started that way in March, tried the U firmware rooted and unrooted (tried root 2 separate times).

There are things I'd like to be able to do that I could with root, but ultimately, they weren't worth the performance drop in responsiveness and battery life. This despite using Greenify, a couple ad blockers and other tweaks to wrestle it in to submission. I was able to get the lag under control, but nowhere near as snappy as without root. Battery stayed pretty bad.

The only reason i am on root is for the audio. The lag kills even the double click camera launch. The camera is no longer available instantly and i hate that. I am trying different ways to keep camera and camera related process active but the lag is just terrible. I miss so many oppurtunities i need the quick launch to work. I even disabled doze and yet nothing has changed.

Going to probably sacrifice the benefits of root to get back to stock...

If you want a super responsive, fast, stable phone, with great battery life and speed on galaxy s7, try echoes rom. It's the best one out there.

Hi,

my Gallery is not working correctly. It starts without Problems but there are no picutres in... Did no freeze Gallery app, so it might be some indixing issues?

Any suggestions how to solve?

Thanks in advance.

Same thing here, after flashing the deeper debloat. I tried looking for gallery in the list of frozen apps, but I didn't see it in there. It's strange, I can see the last photo I took when I open the camera, but the moment I try to click on the box in the lower right hand corner, it flashes my last photo quickly then it disappears back into my camera.

I unfroze everything, rebooted my phone and it fixed the issue. I am unsure which frozen item it was, but I guess I'll just leave it be (unfrozen) for now unless someone else can point me in the right direction.

Which package in the debloat list controls the "Always On" function? Accidentally left it set to ON when I debloated... DOH!? Now I can't turn it off!
Thanks...

It's a system app called always on display

oopsie... need a tab bit of help.. i pushed the deeper debloater with adb and now my phone boots, but it goes to a black screen that has a white box saying Unfortunately System UI has stopped. I click ok and it goes away and then pops right back up... How would i go about fixing this? may have been a stupid idea to push before adding another launcher but oh so silly me jumped the gun. and i pushed another launcher apk thru adb but made no difference... any advice would be greatly appreciated.

For those with Gallery viewing problem, enable com.samsung.cmh.

After freezing most of the app recommended, the only problem I seem to have is that when I stream music ( spotify and soundcloud) on bluetooth in my car , it sometimes cuts the audio for like 2seconds. But when I enabled everything , it works well. What apps or processes could cause that issue? Thank you!

I bought the app "Package Disabler Pro (Samsung)" and it seems to only require "manage application" admin permission when you install it.
But on the device administrators activity when you try to disable it as admin, it shows it has every admin permission available.
Anyone care to explain how safe that is? The app seems to be able to steal all user information.

add Verizon Onetalk com.verizon.process.onetalk to the list.

 

[Susie009224]

Stop undesired notifications

Good morning,

Thank you for all the great information. I can't seem to find something however after reviewing your guide(s) for removing bloat.
Which app in my Verizon S7 do I need to delete in order to stop all incoming notifications, alerts, etc...? LMK and thanks in advance...
