I have zero issues except the sub par battery life, I'm thinking about not upgrading my device next month and just buying a battery case which adds 4200 mAh extra.

So, S Health complains that I tripped Knox (Custom Roms). Does not start up . I go to running apps, switch to it and it opens up fine lol.

Try that.

Try that.

S Health is not a running process on my device, so cant switch to it

Since Knox is already tripped anyway your only option is to root and change the build.prop file.

Make sure knox is really tripped. Could be a buggy odin update

I think the way it was flashed by removing the hidden.img tripped Knox, the video I posted where the guy says it doesn't trip Knox he disabled auto reboot in Odin, flashed the firmware, reset Odin and reentered download mode and then flashed the hidden.img file before restarting the phone.

Almost forgot to disable auto reboot when I did mine.

Is there a root guide for nougat?

Is there a root guide for nougat?

According to the XDA forums:

Flash the lastest twrp recovery
Flash Magisk using twrp
Reboot
Install Magisk Manager from the Play store

The above drama/run around is why I gave up on rooting, so painful and I already have enough stress in my life not to have the idea I may randomly brick my phone lurking around my head.

Rooted phone is awesome though, wish manufacturers would make it part of the OS, being able to switch root on and off, that would be cool.

Back on 6.01, and everything just works

I haven't had any problems

tbh i didn't have a lot of issues with my G4, where other people had tons... so maybe i'm not the right person to ask... same with the S6... but I'm not really a heavy user in any case.
