I thought this was the standard way we've been doing it for months, I know I have.

@Jorge_007 ,yeah, I know this. But you know, I think it is a troublesome operation, because every time I restarted my phone I have to open this app and click that button, I think can use a script to solve it, but I don not know. because I can not find the right scrpit to do this. So, can you help me?

Try this script I found on XDA and see if it sets it to Permissive after boot. If it doesn't work all you need to do is delete it. You'll need Init.d support. There's app on the playstore that emulate Init.d. Remember to install busybox first.

@eemgee ,I mean I have to reboot my phone sometimes.

@Jorge_007 ,thank you so much!

@Jorge_007 ,unfortunately, it does not work.

Well that's a bummer! Are you on the stock ROM or Custom ROM? For the custom ROM I know there are kernels here that are permissible by default. I'm not sure about the stock ROM. Have you looked into doing a soft reboot and see if the selinux policy sticks to what you want?
Here's an app that does soft reboot. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=simple.reboot.com&hl=en
Maybe that'll work. Doesn't hurt try right?

@Jorge_007 I used a stock ROM now.But I don not want to change kernel. Do you have other ways?

I'm not sure why you're having issues. I just installed the selinuxmodechanger app I mentioned earlier and it changes it to permissive after boot.... All I did was check the box show notification. What exactly are you doing that needs selinux to be permissive. Anyways, that's the end of the line for me. I don't know of any other ways to do it. Sorry.

No problem. And Viper4Android doesn't work well on lollipop stock ROM. I've already tried it before. When it does work it only worked for Google Play Music and nothing else. You're suppose to disable Nuplayer in the developer settings for V4A to work at all on lollipop. It worked best on Kitkat for stock ROMs.

It adds the ability to multi boot. Kind of like your computer being able to run windows and linux, this lets our phones run up to 5 different roms

I just gave it a shot -- I added all the stuff manually, but would get an error that it was unable to download the files. I ended up using a titanium backup to load the data and after that it would launch. However, when I tried installing a ROM, I would get an error that it was unable to create a new boot.img. I might try a different ROM to see if that works.
please let us know if it worked!

I tried the app but it says that "your device is not supported".
I may try later to reproduce the tutorial, but it is quite long and evolved and it may be very device specific. So I am not sure I can follow it successfully.
This is a major bug in my point of view. We should be loud about it so that Sony step in and try to fix it.
---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------
A suggestion:
If you want to check whether your device has this bug try "Wakelock Detector" from Play Store (its a free app). After installing the app go into settings and select "Advanced mode". If you device is affected it should show "Device (or something like this, my app is in Portuguese so I am tying to translate back into English)" in th top spots (in my case it is in the top by a large margin). Clicking in this entries to show the details you'll see that "Data dormancy" is the major reason.
Also note that your device should stay most of the time Awake instead of being in Deep Sleep mode.
Finally, this problem only affects devices if you operator network does not support data dormancy. This seems case of the Vivo network in Barzil, at least where I live. If your operator supports data dormancy it is then a good thing, as it helps to save battery.

There is a long tutorial there on how to manually modify the fast dormancy parameters. But you will need to unlock your bootloader first because you need to write to /system. Mine is not unlocked yet, I still creating courage to do it. I'll probably do it to better investigate this bug.

Yes, I meant something along those lines, I believe that that post is the origin of the idea described in the Samsung section.
By doing some more research I came across to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40606899&postcount=38 that suggest to use
ro.semc.enable.fast_dormancy=false
in build.prop. It is for Xperia T, but at least it is a Sony device.
Can you try as your bootloader is already unlocked?

Weird. It did work for me. I changed the configuration using Build Prop Editor , rebooted and it is working right now. No "Data Dormancy" wakes anymore. Try using this app. Note that it did work even in a locked bootloader (I haven't unlocked mine).
Obs: I tried before from the command line using setprop and it didn't work, so success may depend on how you try to edit the option.

Great you solved the issue.
It feels great to have the phone eating only 1.5-2% of the battery an hour after this change (from 6% before).

Didn't worked for me also. After restart there is data dormancy wakeup again.
Xperia M2, 4.3 rooted.
I don't know if i missed something, installed build prop editor, make the changes and restarted.
The thread asks for busybox installed, i don't have busybox and i don't know if its important.
EDIT: After installed busybox, the above stayed on reboot ok.
Because fast dormancy wakelock apperared after ~12 hours after a reboot, i will wait some hours to check if it appeares again. Thank you.

930A ATT S7 Snapdragon Xposed framework

Hey guys, so I just found out about this site and am a super noob but managed to Root my ATT S7 last night. I have been trying to install the Xposed framework but it looks like I cant get a custom recovery program onto my S7. Does anyone know how to get TWRP or CWM or any custom recovery onto the 930A? Or for that matter, Xposed install without a custom recovery?

Sure, I'll start from the beginning in case any other new people are wondering.
Basically, back up your files and restore your phone to factory so the root goes smoother.
Then proceed to this thread for the root. Oh yeah, install adb if you don't have it. They dont mention it and assume you know what it is, which noobs like me don't.
After a clean root, install Flashfire (you may need to disable samsung updates and reset the phones clock back to 2012 or something if Flashfire doesn't want to start). I used 0.31, maybe the newest will work? Easy to find in google.
On page 8 of the Root thread, there is a dropbox link to the Xposed apk and zip (Here). Move them to your phone and install the apk, then use Flashfire to boot the zip.
I think that's pretty much it, Xposed should be running after the Flashfire reboot (which can take a long time as it will Optimize apps).
psouza4 has an awesome thread on what to do after Root and Xposed to make the phone run smoother.
If you do something wrong and absolutely can't fix it, see here for re-flashing back to stock.
Hope this helps someone, took me about 2 days to search all of this out. The AT&T S7 is such a pain in the ass with it's locked bootloader, but this place is > AT&T!

[Guide/Fix] App package conflict when install. (August patch no root)

Hello.
Im not sure if someone else also found the fix for app conflicts and errors when u mannualy update system apps. But I found a working fix.
When I was testing something to fix my led cover but find out this will resolve the annoying conflicts when manually updating system apps.
So this will work for as I tested so far for 10 minuts or when u reboot. After that u need to do this again.
1. Go to device security.
2. Go to safe or secure start up. Im not English so.
3. If secure start up is disabled turn it on and reboot.
3. If secure start up is enabled turn it off and reboot.
I was able to update all apps I had conflicts before. But when I reboot again u will need to redo step 3. Only this time it will be turning on or off instead of off or on. So bassicly when it was turned off then u will turn it on instead.
Hope this will help for u guys aswell.

which ROM for as close to stock android as possible for SM-G930F

I see a lot of custom ROMs on https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development but I am not sure which to use. My main goal is to remove all the builtin Samsung apps that I cannot disable/uninstall like Calendar and Internet. I started looking at SuperMan but then saw it has a lot of other enhancements too. I also want to avoid my device being rooted because I have to install apps that won't install if my phone is rooted (GFE/BlackBerry Work).
LineageOS or Resurrection Remix.
Just disable the Samsung apps you don't want. That's the only remedy for you.
SuperMan is probably the closest you'll get to stock. If that's too far off, I'm not really sure of any other options. You could temporarily root and try removing the offending apps, I'm not sure how much the system depends on them.
There's also the option of Magisk (Systemless) root, which shouldn't effect root-adverse apps.
I have rooted stock G930F rom with Magisk and removed close to a 100 system apps. No bugs, no crashes, and it is the best rom there is, if you tweak it right. Btw, you can hide root with Magisk and install your apps.

Please take my advice:
Do NOT root your device.
Cause that has some side effects and nearly no benefits:
You won't be able to encrypt your phone again.
You'll have to install magisk to get some things to work
Do NOT install an AOKP based ROM cause there are severe bluetooth bugs.
Just install "BK Package Disabler (Samsung)" on stockrom and get rid of Samsungs bloatware.
PS:
I'm back to stockrom after installing LOS and I regret that step, cause it tripped the knox-bit.
Perhaps the BT bugs will be fixed in future; then I'll give LOS another shot.
Lol @ this lad above, get your facts straight.
On-topic: I followed root instructions from galaxys7root. For the debloating part, there is a topic called "Debloat your S7" or something like that, which helped me uninstall most of the apps, and the other ones I just uninstalled cause I didn't need them.

Laughing isn't very polite.
On-topic:
How did you get your phone encrypted again?
What are the benefits of being rooted nowadays?
OK, TB would be one thing for me.
And... tinkering.
Do some Google-ing, should get the answers.

Everything I have read says that there are no issues rooting. Lots of folks have done it w/o issues. Maybe yours was a one-off?

Rooting went flawlessly.
I took the TWRP / Magisk way.
OK, loosing all the data is quite normal, when formating data, to get rid of the encryption.
But it trips your knox-fuse with the following consequences:
S-Health does not work anymore. OK, there is a build.prop hack to get it working.
OTA updates will not work anymore.
S-Pay (and others) is said to not work anymore.
Encryption does not work or is risky (look at Chainfires post):
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72204306&postcount=978
No one knows, how long safetynet will be covered by Magisk. Btw.: Magisk is great!
If I am wrong at any point, pls correct me.
I only rooted to use LOS. But there are too many errors atm.
So I returned to stock and have to live with these issues.
So it depends on your usecase.
If you just want to debloat your stockrom, use BK- disabler.
If you want more, root it.

Can BK disabler disable or uninstall some of the built-in apps like Calendar and Contacts?

Yes. That is the purpose of the app.
And, in my opinion, it works reliable and comfortable.

Yes, that's good, so Samsung won't remove my root or any system apps I am using or adding system apps I removed.

S-Pay doesn't work in our country, so what? It's a fail project anyhow.
