System update today (March 18) - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis

Just got a system update on my SM-G935V this morning. Build number updated to PB4. Haven't really noted any obvious changes. Is there a set of updates anywhere that anyone can link to?

just got the notification also. does it give a change log or anything??

Found this: http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-update/

Nice and vague.. Just how I like it..

looks like a new kernel it is dated last Thursday.

Any hope of this leading to a root? I or would it need a updated bootloader?

I hope this fixes the high android system usage battery drain.

You may want to give up hope for that on the Verizon variant.

How do I block this update? I am using PackageDisabler and have disabled system updater but there must be another package??

Fox-Fi
Does anyone know if this update breaks Fox-Fi wi-fi tether?

Why do you want it blocked? Just wondering why you don't want WiFi and other fixes.

Some people like myself like to wait and see what problems these updates may create. I've read and experienced things not working as good as they did before a update was pushed. Sometimes they also block ways to root a device witch many people here would love to have.

as far as mods go, this is from the stock firmware so any mods that are being made for the new nexus 7 should work fine (for example the advanced power menu that i added). that goes for kernels too, those are device specific, not rom specific

Xposed works on 4.3. You have to install 2.1.4 then flash a zip in recovery.
I'm not sure if you just missed them or what, but some of the Google apps you said you had removed are still in the zip. Currents, Earth, Ears, Games, and then I stopped looking. It's not a big deal, I'm removing them from the downloaded zip, but I wanted to let you know!
And in advance, thanks for the ROM.

well this is based on the released firmware, if there is a patch out there for that, i will see if i can get it included, otherwise i will wait for the next firmware update which will probably have it in there.
no my next release would be a couple of mods im working on, which in reality can be zip files to flash so you wont need to reinstall or reflash the whole thing, but will also be added to the rom as well for anyone who has not tried this one yet

If you are running Package Disabler Pro, the developer said you need to enable all disabled packages before updating Android.

Be aware that in order to update your version of Android, you might need all original apps in place. It is advised to always have a backup of disabled packages so you can restore them later.

Rolling it out to whom? This could take a while.
Wow, hope it's true. When has Verizon ever been first of the major US carriers to release an update?

Then, most likely, the update will fail. Updates like this have checks to make sure that you haven't modified the system.
Anyone try using the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant instead of waiting for the OTA?
On the disable, what if I used Debloater from GatesJr? Same thing, re-enable back?

Mine is available too, but I may wait to later / When I'm home I can bring the phone back to stock, app wise.
Are you guys going to factory reset after the install? Is that necessary?
Downloaded but nervous to install. Going to wait for others to install and confirm validity for use with my Gear VR.

How to update MHA-L29C185B172?

Hello!
I see update MHA-L29C185B172, but not on FF. I want this update.
Now my phone is MHA-L29C185B158. Battery endurance is not great.
Is battery better this update? How to update for free?
Thanks. Sorry for my English.

I don't know what is new. It says no changelog. It says funkyhuawei reddit page:
<<The unreleased MHA-L29C185B172 build has been added to FunkyHuawei. An accurate changelog has not yet been released, but the expected differences are better touchscreen response, and less power consumption for longer battery life, similar to the Chinese B173 build.
Even if you have another Mate 9 model, you can rebrand to MHA-L29C185 and install the firmware, with FunkyHuawei.>>
But trying one day battery time maybe is improved. Here is screenshots.

So far this is working nice firmware. Battery inside one day before was finish 30% but yesterday was with 75%.
What is everybody result?

Hi guys! How is the performance and battery life of this update B172? Thanks!
hi everyone.
two questions:
1: what is FF? is it another repository for firmwares? any links?
2: also, i don't understand the disapproval regarding fu***wei.. I tried installing TWRP on my Mate 9.. ended up almost bricking it.. (it was stuck in a bootloop and adb showed it as unauthorized.. I didn't know what todo)
I used the fu***wei method and although it was a little cumbersome.. (had to do it at home so I could modify the modem settings etc.)
it actually totally worked.. (took a while but it worked) The guy was super responsive too. (I guess I go thte time zones aligned just right to ask my questions but yeah, he'd respond within minutes of my e-mails..)
(btw, I came to this forum looking exactly for this model MHA-L29C185 I wish there were clearer instructions on how to do these things without paying etc but if there is a resource like this why knock it? i'm seriously curious)

Already solved by disabling dnd
Anyway, is it possible to change the corner radius for natifications panel? It looks prety odd now
Camera on my device works just fine after a factory reset.
My only problem now is how to remove the cellular signal since i only like to have just both wifi signal and battery only.
i tried hiding the cellular signal using the UI tuner but it seens to not work, any ideas?
Cons: the fact that the stock launcher is only the one who gets integrated in the recents is really bad, try using another custom launcher and the recents just get bad.
