and sorry..

framework does not seems to work with new Vending.apk app..
i tested it fine with old vending apk, and at last moment installed new Vending apk and now it crashes.
Cool, wait until you upload a revised version.
Hi Dexter,
Do yu think it's possible to use TitaniumBackup Backup(Program and system) from 1.2 to réinstall program and system on these 0.3?
Thanks
Stéph.
Ive installed the "crashing" version...
now I wait for the new release...
but...
it's possible to have some some more languages (i.e. Italian )
Ive force close with contact app...maybe a new market related issue...
I cant set my own wallpaper...ther is a way to do that please?
btw great rom! maybe better than foliomod! I really like the new interface!

apps yes, but generic settings for the specific edition no..
as this has other framework + different launcher, some settings differ.
but try and find out, you probably find some apps crashing, but then try uninstalling and reinstall.. never tried it.

thx!
First experience (except for my small marketapp problem)
is , that it download/install faster... and lagging seems less here?
Of course post experience compared to my Toshiba edition, so we know if its worth using or just maybe, the fact that our Toshiba edition is actually is quite good..
Seriously I love it, it's running perfectly great:
-notification bar and setting are just awesome..
-wifi working great for me
-memory usage is good
-battery and standby I'll check tomorrow after night testing
-SDCard works great even with toshiba file manager (used titanium backup to install back my apps)
-new home also great but less responsive
-launcherpro or adw.launcher both works great but "setting" doesn't work since it's using new setting app
-Browser and mail client looks great
Still some bugs:
-No 360° rotation - Sorry 360° works great but doesn't work with home default launcher
-Only english (us & uk), more local 2 don't change a lot
-Taskmanager doesn't work
well this is my feedback after few minutes testing
again Dexter a great work, thanks
PS/ Happy Holidays for all

you must be doing something wrong, i got like 15 languages selectable, and even more, when i type my national code as explained in readme.txt .
so check again.. many lang's works fine on this one, just using morelocale2
Hi all,
thanks for this new mod Dexter, but I've some questions :
- With morelocale2, I've change the langage to french, but I've always a QWERTY keyboard, any idea ?
- The mail app don't sync my email with hotmail in exchange, do you know why ?
I like this mod, you're doing a very good work, all my respect
Cheers

Welcome to Androot-N7p-ROM for the NextBook 7 Premium *ONLY.
I decided to change up some of the apps and generalize the rom in terms of its boot-animation screen. It runs on LauncherPro (just choose it as the "always"/default upon first instance of it. The Launcher that comes with the device isn't so great, but I left it there just in case.
It's based on the first known rooted ROM for this device: 'DocHoppy's ROM'. Credit for most of this ROM goes to him and to 'Wendal' for his toolset for packing the ROM (into cramfs) for the Nextbook 7 Premium device.
As such, it is a beta/ work-in-progress.
Androot-N7p-ROM v0.2
[ 146 MB ]
download here
Instructions:
*WARNING: FLASHING THIS DEVICE WILL ERASE YOUR DATA AND APPS!!!!*
Download image.
Rename file to update.img
copy file to root of SD card.
Follow on screen prompt asking if you want to run update image.
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for bricked devices.
Here's my changes..
removed:
-youtube player <- the real youtube app is better
-explorer <- redundant
-slide me app market <- redundant now that Google's Market is installed
-quick search box <- Google Search widget is better IMO
kept/added:
-Market <- the real Google one
-root explorer - an alternative & capable file explorer
-astro file manager <- we all know it well
-quickpic 1.5.2 - a much lighter & more efficient photo organizer/viewer
-3D gallery <- some love it, some hate it
-brightness level 1.0.0 - quicker brightness changes
-ConnectBot 1.6.2 <- for those that need a SSH tool
-Officesuite full <- may as well keep it
-Titanium Backup 4.6.7 <- has some very handy tools aside from backups
-LauncherPro 0.8.6 <- may be old, but it's smooth and capable
-superuser <- because this rom is rooted
-has some of the Google Apps (go ahead and add as you see fit)
-has a custom boot animation.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Known Issue:
Apps2sd reports SU Binary out of date. Attemps to update this via superuser fails due to cramfs file system.
It's not perfect, but it does work well and I run it as my daily driver on my N7P.
Please give feedback or suggestions! I trust the pro devs could easily help me out with the little things!

Since I'm new to modifying/cooking ROMs, here's my
Questions I have for the devs that cook ROMs all the time...
(lol)
Where do I edit the items that show in 'settings > about' in the device?
How do I change the default shortcuts that LauncherPro puts on the dock?
How do I change what icons are default on the home screen?
Where do I put custom wallpapers as part of the rom?
How do I modify Android UI colours?
Can the dialer be removes without losing "contacts"?
How do I create a shortcut to "contacts" without the phone/dialer?
(more to come I'm sure)
Hello, first of all, thanks for your work!
I am having trouble loading this rom. it says there's an invalid image file in my sd card and if I want to delete.
Now, I don't know if my tablet is a never or older version of what you guys have...
Next7p
2.3.1
kernel: 2.6.32.27
build: v2.0.7.....
my serial is also different from alot..it starts with YF0511
any help or tips?
In Dochoppy's original rom/post he mentions that the device will need to have a serial number starting with YF1011. That stands the same for this rom, as it's derived from his.
Having an invalid update.img firmware file could be due to a number of things, but the one I have here works on my device.
I wish I had more of an answer, but by all means try out the tools for repacking the rom.
So after messing around compiling a ROM, I forgot to add a launcher, and now I am stuck in a bootloop. After the girl in the dress is there for awhile, I get a black screen, then reboot. Anyone now how to fix this? I have been searching Google, but can not find anything yet.
Any help would be great!

I had mine half dead for a short bit until i found i could go into a low level bootloader mode and recover it. I am working on getting a the tool/images i used to recover mine uploaded and such.
Download and extract n7p_rescue_kit.zip
Reboot device using paper clip then quickly press and hold reset until you get black screen with usb plugged in
When windows wants driver give it the respective folder for your os (32bit or 64bit) from Drivers folder from the download
Run RK29update.exe if it says "Found RKAndroid Loader Rock Usb" on bottom you are good but if it shows "No Found RKAndroid rock usb" repeat last step.
Either flash all of the default selected items or do just system (since bootloop is in system)
Hope this helps
P.S. If you pack then unpack your custom one you can flash JUST system using the tool but be sure to use the offsets that are pre-loaded.
use a pin to push the reset button on the back to break out of the boot loop.
If after this your rom still bootloops, try putting a different update.img rom to flash, on to the sd card. Then boot into safe mode by holding all 4 front buttons after boot. the update should be found and installed after that.
Thanks!
I registered just to thank DocHoppy for all his efforts. I have a Nextbook Premium 7 I got for Christmas from Hastings, which fell into the YF09111XXXX batch. I used Wendal Chen's RK29xxImageTools_v2.1 to unpack the firmware upgrade from the nextbookusa site. I then put the Google apks, SuperUser, Rootexplorer, and re-packed it with a custom bootanimation. Because of my serial # I couldn't use DocHoppy rom without getting that "Invalid Update" error, but using their firmware seems to work.
My next goal is to find a way to get the "Accounts & Sync" into the settings! One of my apps is getting an "Error 42" which is an Android Market authentication error... however, other apps have worked without any problems so it's difficult to tell if that's the issue I'm having.

Install "Quick Sync Settings" to get to the hidden settings view.
Also did you use this guide for market? That one worked great for me.
Thanks
Working great for me so far. Thanks sharing your work.
Nice!!!
I have the image as well... Can you tell me how to open it or point me in the direction of a tutorial? I've been looking for weeks and couldnt find any info until this thread I have a yf091... as well. Thanks in advance for any help.

Not sure if this rom will work for you, just guessing by your serial number. If it is to work changing between roms on these tablets is very easy. Just download the image onto the root of your sdcard, rename it update.zip (not update.zip.zip) your tablet will recognize it as an update and ask if you want to proceed. If you say yes then follow the prompts and your in business!

Just go this to day and was plesantly suprised to find this rooted rom. Just wanted toy let you know that my S/N is YF12112xxxx and this rom work prefect for me (so far) Thanks for all the work you guys have done here. Also is there anyway to over clock the processor in out tabs?
Thanks for the comments thus far!
I would like to overclock this thing too, but that might be further down the road, as priority is on getting a different file-system for the /system volume.
Version 0.4 is coming next.
FYI:
There will be a larger span of time between updates on this particular rom for the N7p, because I will be using more stable conjumbles of things from other roms for this device. This rom is more of a remix or derivative than an entirely different rom.
Again thanks for all the hard work. I have a few requests. first since we cant change the Adhoc ( using wifi from another android device) on the fly with out RW access can you please add the ability to connect to adhoc wifi in the next build? Also i love google currents app but we cant use is on our device because we don't have map's installed. can that be added as well?

Most of the N7P roms out there now have Market installed and working. Why not just install these apps yourself?
I only suggest so because for the time being, the device is limited to its minimal capacity for apps without full-on apps2SD. Besides, for a tablet like this, you want to keep the system apps to a minimum and de-bloated for performance whenever possible.

Oh I was talking about currents and maps. Both of those can be installed via market. I have them both on my tablet.
The ad-hoc networking is something worth putting in a later release though.
good mention.

yes I know just that problem I'm talking in post #1
in your case to solve sensor buttons problem use this file in attachment
1.extract and copy to sdcard
2.enter Terminal Emulator already installed on phone
3 write these lines
Code:
#su
#cp /mnt/sdcard/isdm_KeypadLayout.kl /custpack/usr/keylayout/isdm_KeypadLayout.kl
#reboot
do not use Root Explorer to copy !
this is the hard-way to solve problem

yes this is true but not a problem will happen every time you flash again
due to apk optimization I made but after system will construct Dalvik-cache will never happen !
but not necessary to change language just try to activate keyboard by example try to write a sms if keyboard has no response press back out of sms app and enter to try again...
regarding a2sd I used to move Dalvik-cache to get more space to apks
by example compared to stock Cosmote ROM you got 150-105= 45 MB free
if you want to experiment with a2sd use this help
but carefully !
how to flash CWM recovery
-install SDK for Android
-copy recovery.img to location where you stored sdk tools something like this android-sdk\platform-tools
-enter fastboot mode (phone is connected to PC )
to enter fastboot mode press VolDOWN+Menu at phone startup for 10s phone display is blank
-enter this from line commander (bash/cmd.exe)
fastboot devices -to start service or test connection to PC
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img -to flash required CWM recovery to phone
to enter CWM recovery press VolUP+Menu for 10s at phone start
This is how I installed CWM

also I think fastboot is the strongest tool for Android because will help to solve a lot of problems!
in Windows Mobile this is a tricky task to recover from an unsuccessful flash !

hello, I installed this rom that you did install without problems, the phone works fast, touch screen sometimes does not work pressing 3-4 times and did not respond after a while I try works.
why it takes so long to load before having it loaded faster, with no load and no keyboard out how to log into your account
do not take this as a criticism to note that the problems I notice you are done great.
mate pls make black status bar....

if this post isn't helpful for you try to install another keyboard from Market by ex search for hacker's keyboard
but for me post no 6 is the most appropriate answer to that question

regarding lock screen already have plans...but not very easy to do that
try to import framework from x10mini custom roms...
think that for qvga custom roms, for x10mini had gone most furder...
PS: must edit look of "phone app" it's terible...
PS: i have bug on lock screen
slide on "phone" opens emergency call
I fixed a keyboard got rоm in the original phone which foot to Cyrillic and now with the installation and install it.
problem with touch screen remains in most cases not responding to touch, sometimes works sometimes not.

this is not a bug just about settings... I CAN NOT make a custom rom for every person asking for ...you have to use Prop Editor app included but be careful ! If you want to customize install some themes ... there are a lot of themes for ADW.Launcher and this is very very customizable... in fact it's the same launcher as Cyanogenmod also you have Go Launcher on Market at one click install ...
to import framework from Xperia good thinking if you have 1 year time at your own discretion...
or if someone is paid to do that
...
this is my custom ROM ..so made to use by me and posted here if someone is interested.. if not ...you are free to use any other ROM !
also
to see features included in this ROM ... read post no 1 before install you see nothing about 'beautiful interface' just performance/stability/ MORE free space/ and....
a lot of features... BUT YOU HAVE TO LEARN how to use these things...
In your case I suggest to revert back to your stock ROM if you don't like this one

problem with touchscreen anyway mine works well
revert back to stock rom to see differences but I suppose is not a problem anyway I really don't have this problem. I'm expecting feedback from other persons to see what is this about ?
regarding keyboard not showing up ... as some people say... it is as done in the next version I put a new keyboard in fact as I see all Android phones on market have 2 keyboards installed -mine just one !
maybe default Android keyboard needs help from third party to wake up from sleeping
to check this ...install another keyboard from Market by example look for haker's keyboard
but I think this also could be about deodexing/ zipalinging features on this ROM
If is so then during the second launch every app should start well - so is about keyboard
Best Regards ,
u understud me wrong, i'm very thankfull...
u done great job, but i'm every day in contact with some serious gadgets ...
so when I SEE THIS LOCK SCREEN AND PHONE APP AND STATUS BAR.... I get mad...
Currently here is the system dump. Working on kernel first just not what I normally do so it's playing with me lol.
First off this is built off the LG Aristo LGMS210 from Metro PCS.
This is going to stay as a stock base NOT ASOP.
OTAs are always last. It's nice to have a good strong base then update as needed so it won't have security patches from the OTAs 10min after the release. Right now I did not update before doing a system dump.
The system dumps or roms can be used by others just please give credit. If someone makes a kernel give them credit also please after asking them.

This is just a spare just in case I get board now to clean this up
Thank you!
Glad to see this device get some attention, it's a decent phone and we already have root, twrp, and nougat. Just missing tweaks here and there.
Im just having kernel issues hoping someone can get us a custom one. So far I have deleted a bunch copied pixel launcher and this thing is amazing now. Even going to make a car puter version on this phone.
Works but looks bad but got Samsung Gear VR working on this thing. Lol. Once we get another kernel we can get that flashed on everyones phone not doing my way.
How can I make this system dump a usable rom?
Umm you can't it's for another device to. Really install pixel launcher. Make a system backup. Copy pixel launcher folder from data app to system priv app not delete all the launchers and apps I can post what I have then you factory reset your phone then once booted you will have pixel launcher and the feel of how my phone will feel till I can get a kernel and flash that way.
So it just adds the pixel launcher as a system app?
I goofed
Is there anyway you could upload just the mixer_paths.xml file located in system/ect by chance? Went to go try to increase headphone volume and sneezed and fubard the file somehow.... Now i have no sound at all on anything amdthe phone dont even detect headphones. Id download the dump/or rom but my internet speeds are just too darn slow to get at 960 mb file. *metro slows it down below 20k a second*
Install pixel launcher and anyother app you need when you do a factory reset it will let you boot just fine.

If you want to get a kernel thats all we are missing.
Till then we have something we can get the similar feel.

Have you tried a factory rest did you disable a setting. Might have a dead gps since we dont really have roms.
25.04.18 .. just a quick warning for newcomers !! YES Oreo is out there to try via OTA
BUT use the U2CRC7 or U2CRC8 these will be MUCH safer
(using U3CRD1 , or U3CRD4 you need to be REALLY careful, as you are updating the bootloader too (from v2, to v3)
which if you then get into a bootloop for whatever reason, you cannot use ODIN to get out of it as they are all bootloader v2 .. and thus you will be stuck untill one becomes available ! )
###
Ok first public release of a S7active Rom Modder ....
(this version is for ROOT only and was adapted from this Ufirm )
### Download links, for people who dont wanna read !
My Mega Folder
which has Stock Odin files PI2 andQD4, also a OTA zip folder with (numbered) files up to newest QL6 (20.01.18)
eng_boot files to flash in odin for root enabling,
and Rooting scripts ..
Newest Link to my Rom Modder, UFirm_Hybrid_S7active_Nougat_V3f.zip
you can also use this Link to a Russian download site that also keeps updated with all of the above too (with unnumbered OTA update files that gets confusing)...
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/BGy7/gKs4xzhRE/
And this link is to the official AT&T site,
that lists the most recent baseband version release, and when it was released (so this will also be upto date, even when this post isnt!)
### THIS Tutorial gives you ....
Fresh Stock Nougat (either upgrade or degrade or start again to V6/v7)
Root (with governor select, fingerprint fix, busy box installer)
BOOT Animation select; Samsung,Pixel,NoNaMe,Echoe + Sund on/off selectable to
Advert blocker installer; Adaway (with an app), or opensource list
S8 App installs; all selectable; camera, browser, launcher, fonts, clock/calendar SHealth, Bixby etc etc
Google Apps; Pixel launcher, dialer, camera, clock, calender etc etc
Dual speaker mods
Custom Mods/apps; XDA, Hometouch, Viper4Android, Solid Explorer, Nova Launcher,Cerberus, smartswitch, Torch toggler (these are all Play-Store versions, just selectable to embed within Rom (as systemApp))
and then a Debloater; a completely manual option, or a network debloat only (including bookmarks contacts etc), or a simpler BS level, or a 'playstore' style strip of apps leaving you with bare essentials
Works on ALL Nougat versions with Root, via Flashfire.....
but works best following steps below to start from a fresh stock odin flash (so you can start from any level then)
Of course all the normal caveats, do a backup, make sure phones charged up... etc etc etc
### So If you are on Marshmallow(Android v6), this Upgrades to Nougat(Android v7) OR if you just want to start fresh
Step 1. - Use Odin PrinceComsyModified and load up all 4 files from this complete G891AUCS2BQD4_7.0_all Nougat QD4 package
can only flash when in download mode (thats from phone switched off, then hold home+volume then hold power)
After thats finished, phone reboots to the setup wizard thingy, your now back to fresh stock Nougat... (no real need to go through this setup wizard yet really)
Step1a. - If you want to get up-to-date to a Higher Firmware NOW is the time, via OTA zips, in the standard recovery QD4-QF2, then QF2-QG1 at present ...
OTA-UPDATE folder
Step1b. - Get those updates on the SDcard, boot into standard recovery (thats with phone powered down, press and volume up+Home, then the power button)
Step1c. - Select update from zip/sdcard (volume butons to scroll, power button to select)
Step1d. - wait for it to finish, it DOES take ages, once it has, start the next one etc etc ...
### So once on Nougat get root with
Step 2. - G891A_7.0_ENG_ROOT , flash in Odin (in the AP placement) when in download mode (fire up download mode with, phone switched off, home+volume then hold power)
that gives you root availability.
Step3. - Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V2, once rebooted, and now back at the setup wizard thingy,
Run root.bat from this zip and follow on screen prompts (will erase fingerprint patterns if you select it!), select CPU governor you want
Ondemand is the prefered for overall performance, and Conservative for best battery life..... this will follow on and Install flashfire too
So that gives you fresh Nougat, and Root. stop here if thats all your after !
### or if you are already Rooted and in Nougat
Step4. - Download my Ufirm_Hybrid_S7active_Nougat_V3 and transfer to the sdcard of ya s7active *** New version 01.08.17 Ufirm_Hybrid_S7active_Nougat_V3f
Step5. - Open up Flashfire (install from playstore (its by chainfire) if your starting from this step) it checks root (go back to step 3 if it fails) partitions etc etc then agree with all the normal stuff ..
select the 'plus' icon bottom right, choose 'flash zip or ota', and select Ufirm_Hybrid_S7active_Nougat_V2 that you copied over in step4
you dont need to select anything on this pain..
make sure EverRoot is disabled .. (just click it and untick it if it is)
scroll down a bit i expect, and hit the big FLASH button ! ...
after a couple minutes of black, and scrolling stuff, and the red flashfire banner, you are set at Aroma...
Step6. - now in 'Aroma follow the onscreen prompts
you can select no wipe, no reroot, no bootanimations mod, no ads, no s8 mods, no google mods, no speaker mod, no custom mods, and no debloat... and nothing with change ...
or can select selectivly... and have stripped out, google apps, and pixel launcher, with lots of new apps, viper, etc etc ...
so its very option friendly from here
but if your going to elect s8 mods, or the playstore mods, then a wipe is best (of you will have to select to clear cache/data on the apps one back up and running to prevent closes)
Step7. - Come back here and thanks us all and let us know of any improvements or bugs
this of course doesnt trip knox, and all buttons work, as not much system files are touched really ...
PLEASE let me know how you get on ! ....
and A BIG Thanks to jrkruse, CVertigo1, FtaWolf, Arteush, echeo rom team for the mods, NoNaMe team, ViPer4A team
and a especially big thanks to activefan01 as with out him we STILL wouldnt have root !!!
and the many many many other people on this forum who post so i can trawl through and learn and the ones ive hassled.
### FAQ
Q: Do i need to do a wipe to try this ?
A: no, you dont NEED to wipe, or to odin, or to select AP in flashfire to try it.. Just be careful what you select, and BACKUP 1st like you are going to wipe !....
But wiping is a good way to get a real clean stripped out stock look, if you re-install fresh with Odin first and wipe
Q: Do i need to Root after running this ?
A: No, you can select "No change" , and it will keep its root status from Step3 Root procedure,
this option will install busybox, as Viper4A needs it, also adds improvements to device.prop too(config.tima) and is there so you can change the CPU governor or redo Fingerprint fix again (Its from the 2.82 install)
and for IF we ever get this working via stock boot.img !
Q: Can i run this multiple times then to swop things around, or try/add different Mods out ?
A: Yes, Yes you can... if you wanna JUST run this again to install, Nova launcher then select the right options, and thats ALL this will do
hell select the right options and this script does nothing !
Q: So could i use this to JUST debloat my phone ?
A: Yes select the right option, and it will only do a network debloat, and install nothing
Q: Will this trip KNOX ?
A: No
Q: Is the G891A_7.0_ENG_ROOT file different to the one already released ..
A: No its the same, just put it on here to keep it all together
Q: Is the Root Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V2 file different to the one already released
A: No its the newest one ATM, just put it on here to keep it all together (i did change the exit to a pause at the end so you can review if it worked )
Q: Do i have to use the Ufirm zip thingy to keep root ?
A: No this just a Rom modder, so it adds, and takes stuff away that you select onscreen
Q: can i just keep stock ?
A: Yes Step1 will give you JUST a clean stock nougat, NO mods nothing...
Q: Can i use OTA zips to update this later?
A: Not in the normal/stock over-the-air via AT&T network method no, as the eng_root, and system file are detectable, and it will error out (but wont break anything)
A2: Also not via the 'stock' recovery either, as of above, you using the eng_root, which doesnt support DM-Verity so it doesnt let you use SDcard or ADB (but again wont break anything trying)
A3: what about via flashfire ? Nope, also fails due to miss matches of files detected via OTA script..
Q: Can i use the OTA files to update to the newest ROM version first ?
A: Yes course, start with newest Odin flash (QD4 at the mo) then use the OTA increment update files, then load the Ufirm modder if you want, or not your choice !
Q: Can i install OTA updates WITHOUT causing the update to wipe everything everytime !?
A: Yes you can, you HAVE to watch it update and STOP the update script procedure when you see "script succeeded: result was [/system]" and then Immediately press and hold Power + Home + VolUp + VolDown.
as found/posted by Mike_1996 here on this clicky link
Q: Can we not just install TWRP or other recovery and use that ?
A: No the bootloader is locked, and we cannot change recovery at all. (not even the standard S7 has this either (well only the japan version !))
Q: Well ive used this and ROOT and it stuppidly slow
A:Yes it can be a little slower, especially at first, it can settle, but the ROOT method we have is to use the engineering files, and they effect speed...
you can read through this thread, as there are 'some' tips, but ultimately, yes it will be slower at times !

Very excited to see that the thread is started!!
Again, great job dude!
Any big things noticed since 24 hours with BS debloat with all S8 tweaks and the stock CSC which is powerful to delete all AT&T smudges... but I will still try a CSC of european S7 since I live there. (For the network preference?)
Only big battery draining with the engineering kernel... With all power save tweaks seen in the root thread.
I think the stock kernel portability should be a priority.
Perhaps an option to disable the startup sound, by deleting /system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg.bak
And modifying ro.config.tima to 0 in build.prop to fix shealth since it have to be deleted and reinstall to work.
If I'm not mistaken..! This is the way I use to make it working..
Oh. Great job.
do You get screenshot rom ?

Thankyou
-what things does the Euro CSC have thats beneficial ? could incorparate it, plus im in Europe too !
-Stock portability im looking into to, have finally worked out how they do it (managed to get reply from jrkruse)
-need to look into it more to see if its possible on the active, as its BL is v2, and the standard s7 is v4
but its to do with the mix match of gsm and cdma ... so Bootloader section is invovled, so would be risky !
-Will se what i can impliment for bootup sound, and will sort out the build.prop ...

Thankyou, no need for screenshots really, its not really a rom that changes much to look at, more of a debloater, and standard mod/launcher installer ...

gonna try get echoe converted next.. as i wanna see if gearVR works on it !
Like I expected use a CSC from European S7 works perfectly and add features in network, location and probably others nice things!
There is an aroma with lot of CSC for S7 in the forum, If it moded to allow a flash into S7 Active, it will works. I will contact the author.
Ok! I contact some people too for information about the tweaks to keep stock kernel.. we will see!

do you have a link to forum of the CSC for S7 ? ...will take a read...
an the main place that explained how to keep the stock kernel is here....
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/development/rom-t3569416/page15
and he says later on... "It's not the boot.img it's the dm verity process of the cdma firmware when gsm firmware is flashed over the top of cdma firmware. That's why in every case you have to start on cdma firmware it doesn't have to be Verizon"
so my understanding would be .. we would need to flash a, Verizon NON-HLOS.bin BL with the pit file ? (so thats the cdma firmware) which is risky ! as this may brick our device due to missmatch bootloader etc !?
Root, then run my mod, then once all the CSC, symlinks etc etc are back in place, flash back our own AT&T NON-HLOS.bin(the GSM) ....
but need to gather those NON-HLOS.bin's from the correct versions, mainly a AT&T one, and compare the actives to a standard G930A, IF they the same, then we MIGHT have a chance !?

Have you tried selinux mod changer to make the drivers stick? Had to use it on my old HTC 626s.(v4a)
Hi, i flashed the s8 dual speakers mod and it works great! Music, ringtones, all work with dual speakers. But I noticed in some games like Mobile Legends none of the speakers work. I also read the original thread on the last page that some users also reported that the dual speakers mod doesnt work in some games. Do u have the original mixer_paths_tasha.xml file so that i could restore it back to single speaker please?
I just hardbricked my S7 Active by trying to reinstall the stock kernel....
It doesnt start, doesnt want go in download mode or anything... while I havent touch to FBL SBL so logically it should be able to go in download mode but it doesnt want.
I try JIG USB but it doesnt help since battery need to be removed...
If anyone have another idea?
Be more carefull than me and don't flash anything... But I still think that it is possible to keep stock kernel after modding.
I will use the guarantee. So I can't help for few weeks...
If someone wants to try, follow the tutorial, apply all mod you want and finaly just flashing the stock kernel from flashfire (only original boot.img in a tar file) with selecting recovery mode reboot. It will show an error, after that select mount system/ then wipe cache and reboot.
See you soon!
ouch ... its pretty hard to hard brick them, using stock stuff...
ive been messing around with lots of messed around boot.img initially and i never bricked it, LOTS of blue screens, and warnings !
what was battery charge at ?? as they dont seem to charge when in bootloader/recovery
so if it gets into bootloops and fall asleep say and dont notice, you may get stuck ...
i was VERY close to doing this... once i woke, realised and reflashed something so it boots, i was at 2% !!! i started at 80%ish
so be cateful bootloops drain it quicker, and can make phone get real hot, especially when ya fall asleep at ya desk as coding all night !
i dont see how flashing stock boot.img would brick it too,
unless it didnt flash properly ? as it checks image for checksums/hacks before commiting it to memory..
so worst would be boot loops...
only way to brick i would of thought is mess around with the BL section in odin.... as bootloaders can bugger it !
maybe leave it on charger over night, and then try get into bootloader ??

I could be wrong but to me it sounds like he applied mods and then tried to return to stock BL; obviously that isn't going to work but I'm very surprised that you can't just reflash?

indeed, would just result in boot loops ...
on a different note, now uploading new version 2.1
Fixed viper4android, NoNaMeMod, and added return to single speaker mode, bootanimation sound select, plus redone the manual debloat section so its more suited to our actives ...
also looked into csc, and its gonna be better if you just run a dedicated CSC swopper .. like the one here

CSC swapper is ok to run via Flashfire?
I thought you had to have TWRP.
Downloading 2.1 now, very excited. You've achieved a great deal here, Miniminus and should be very proud of your efforts.
I'm super pleased to have root + a few goodies on Android 7.0
Have to say even with Eng kernel, 7.0 rooted is way smoother and less buggy than root on 6.0 (especially with all your tweaks applied). But, I am still missing the battery life I was able to achieve in 6.0 Root with a few xposed modules and deep hacks configured. Under 6.0 I managed to get it to the point I would lose about 2% battery overnight. Under 7.0 I lose about 20% per night no matter what I do.
Still, battery life is decent compared to all my other devices and the dual speaker mod + viperx etc absolutely kicks arse.
Bluetooth is broken for some reason on version 2.1. Admittedly I did not check this on 2.0, but in current release applied with full wipe + all S8 cmods + heavy debloat it simply does not turn on.
Also, wifi keeps losing my settings as it did with the original root process. I can't remember how to fix this but I know it can be done.
I'm having the same issue after flashing v2.1 . Everytime i restart my phone, the wifi settings get reset. I have to manually key in my wifi password again. Bluetooth doesn't work when I tap the icon, Device maintenance is missing from settings, and the blue light filter is also missing..

Thankyou have spent way to long on it, and i was only trying to get the GearVR going on it, of which i STILL cannot do, think its locked via kernel
csc 'should' work ok in flashfire, althou messing with csc is risky as it messes with efs partition ...
20% overnight is pants ! im defo getting over that, but i havent had simcard in me phone for a bit ...
whats it saying the most drain is in battery usage ?

hmmm which s8 mods you got selected ? as bluelight and wifi and device maintenance are ok here ... so the script is ok, must be one of the modules, and im gonna guess at a s8 one ! ..
but can confirm my bluetooth isnt working either, not noticed before .. will have to try pin it down to an action thats been carried out will have to go one by one !!!!
so clean install, and select nothing .. see if anything breaks etc etc
device manager i think gets messed with with the s8 browser ..
im out today so will look tonight ..
Hmm i didnt install any s8 mods as the system UI crashed the first time i tried the s8 mods. But my firmware before i flashed ufirm is qf2 june patch.. and i chose manual debloating including AT&T apps, ANT apps, and most of the samsung bloatware
Is there any log information that we can provide to try and track this ***** down?
Cheers
