- Hey guys, David from TheUnlockr
and today I'm gonna show you how you can remove all
of the crappy bloatware
and also do a bunch of other cool performance enhancements
to your Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge Snapdragon
or US Models.
(upbeat music)
So because of the way we root the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge
we can't actually flash custom recovery images
or custom ROMs,
but we can still remove all of that bloatware
and not to mention the same script that I'm gonna use
in this video to do that,
it's one time and it gets rid of basically everything,
which is really cool.
It also removes some stuff from the Play Store
that you have on your phone,
because there's a lot of stuff that's been installed
into the system partition,
which means you can't uninstall it if you want,
but this will actually remove it
so that that way if you want it you can download it
as opposed to being forced to download it.
What a concept.
In addition to the debloating that it does,
it also has some really cool performance enhancements,
does things like addresses the phone getting hot,
has some CPU performance enhancements,
and a bunch of other stuff.
For a full list of all of the stuff that it does,
click the link below, and then click the link
that takes you to the developer's page.
Now without further ado,
here's how to get started.
First up, the phone needs to be rooted,
if you aren't rooted you need
to click this link here
beneath this video on my site.
Head to that video and tutorial,
it's not that hard to do,
but do the entire thing
and once you're done you can come back here
and we can continue.
'Kay, so to avoid us having some issues later on,
we're going to open up the App Drawer,
go to SuperSU, which should be installed
because you did the rooting tutorial.
And go to settings,
now if you scroll down eventually you'll see security.
We're gonna make sure that Enable su during boot
is turned off.
Then we're gonna head to the Play Store
and we're gonna download an app called FlashFire
and install that.
Then on the computer we're going
to download the Debloater script.
So we're gonna click this link here
to be taken to the post on xda.
It's gonna be under recommended next steps,
and then you're gonna notice that
there's a bunch of different versions here.
Basically it's Verizon, these two different versions
for Verizon, and then every other version, basically.
So I have an AT&T one so I'm gonna use this one.
Now there's fixes and then there's fixes and Debloater,
we want to do both so I'm gonna click this link here
to download that.
Then we're gonna grab that zip file
from wherever it downloaded to, for me it was Downloads,
plug in our device, and then open it up
so we can see the internal storage,
which should look something like this.
And we're gonna, not extract this, but just pull it over
and copy it to the internal storage of our phone.
Make sure that you don't put it in any folders,
just here on the root of the internal storage,
it just makes it easier to find.
Now that we can unplug the phone,
we're going to open our FlashFire app,
grant it super user permissions,
and we're going to click the plus button over here
at the bottom, Flash ZIP or OTA,
and scroll down and we'll find our debloater.zip file,
tap that, make sure that everything is checked off
except for the mount.
And we can tap the check box at the right,
then scroll down and hit flash.
Click okay and wait for it to do its thing.
Now it will reboot a couple of times
so just let it go.
Then when it finally reboots, you can go to Settings,
Applications, Application manager
and see that a lot of your carrier stuff is now gone
and all of those other tweaks
and performance optimizations, et cetera are all set.
There you go, you're all set.
