Thank you very much! I had already rooted my phone with Kingroot, but I didn't know that such a flash tool like Flashify existed.

Awesome :)

Hi All,

someone who has flashed Cyano ROM can post a screenshot of BetterBatteryStats to see how this ROM manages the kernel wakelocks?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Highwaydesigner:
Here are some Screenshots.

Fortek CM 12.1
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Uriens:
Thank you! I see that the "active" time over screen on is still considerable.... what are your feelings with the battery usage? Better than stock?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Highwaydesigner:
Yes!

It's much better then Stockrom.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] SachaFroment:
do you think you could make a sort of side to side comparison with the stock version about the major features (such as battery level, smoothness, signals strenght ...)
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] eis0r:
how's the partition layout in this CM-Release?

any changes to stock AS variant?

thanks!
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Highwaydesigner:
That's difficulty.

I have no Screenshots from battery drain in Stockrom.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Uriens:
Is this the correct procedure to flash the ROM?

1 - Backup

2 - Wipe system

3 - Install ROM

4 - Install Wi-Fi Fix?

5 - Install GAPPS
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] SachaFroment:
ok thx. do you think the rom is suitable for a daily use ?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Highwaydesigner:
Yes

I have no problems in daily use.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] marus2:
I did it this way

1 - Backup (but it is optional)

2 - Factory reset (it result in an error, if you don't do FR)

3 - Install ROM

reboot

4 - Install Wi-Fi Fix

reboot

5 - Install GAPPS
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] CineDOG:
That boot.img is worst thing on my phone. :(

Reboot 3-5 times daily. Today cant work. Just stay on ZTE start logo. I got b12 rom.

It looks not so bad..
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mangraviti:
Can someone answer this question for me?

Are the S6 and S6 Plus the same?

Do I need a different ROM for the S6 Plus?

On paper they are identical but I don't know if the logic boards are the same, if the hardware is exactly the same. I don't want to brick the phone.

I wanted the normal S6 but the guy on eBay sent the S6 Plus by mistake.

An answer would be much appreciated.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jujurackham:
I did it like Marus2, but I didn't reboot between each step. I flashed all zips at once (using TWRP queueing system).

My phone works rather well, except for the blue button lights. The home, menu and back buttons are never lit...

Any solution for "not able to capture video"?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DoktorMabuse:
The S6 plus or S6 lux (chinese name) is the 5.5' inch variant of the s6. It also has a bigger 3000mh battery and an additional IR port.

Apart from this its identical to the S6.

I dont know if the roms are compatible, but i dont think so
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] marus2:
Surely not compatible ROM. Count it as different model.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Strange_World:
Hello everybody,

I would to ask two things:

1) If I will root the phone, will I void the warranty even if I remove the root?

2)If I root the phone and I change the CPU governor, if I remove the root the CPU governor will remain the one that I choose or not?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Uriens:
You would lose the possibility to set the governor because it is set on boot; the app would not work to set the governor on boot without root.

A user in German Forum Android-Hilfe have Briggs his Phone .

He need an TWRP backup from EU B15 Sockrom.

Can anyone upload an TWRP backup (only system).

I can not help him because i have an AS Vision.

Thanks

Since installing TWRP my ZTE is stuck in boot loop.....any suggestions?

Or how would I get stock recovery back on?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lightwars:
Hi,

I changed the update package EU_B15 from zte to work with TWRP and it doesn't wipe userdata.

It installed quietly on my blade S6 AS (asien) version. But I'm back on my backup.

Please give him a hint, if he didn't manage to rescue his device.

Download link in my google drive.

It works!!!

The device have start work again.

Many Thanks also from Detachy form Android Hilfe Forum.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mangraviti:
Just learned that the S6 Lux is not actually the "Chinese S6 Plus". It now has a 1080p display whereas the Plus has 720p.

I am thinking about swapping my S6 Plus for an S6 because there's not enough documentation neither here on XDA or Google as a whole about the Plus.

I did take a shot and installed the TWRP available here via Flashify and it worked. At least I can boot to TWRP now. I don't know if it actually works. I'm tempted to install one of these ROM's you guys are discussing here but since it's a Plus version, I don't really feel confident in risking to brick the phone.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lightwars:
That is great,glad it worked for him.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] srdempster:
If you flashed on stock rom that's why as it's for CM12.1

thank you

Now okay. I reinstall twice the B12 rom.

But the GPS is really weak. :( When I'm driving , it lost signal so much times and long times. :(
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lightwars:
Okay, just wanted to notify you about this mod I have done to my device (AS version), but it will likely not work properly with stock rom.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] eis0r:
good job as usual, lightwars! ;)

on which ROM did u test it?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lightwars:
it did the test with my cm12.1 build, but actually I restored my stock rom and you can still use it. But some apps can't handle the changes in storage layout, cause the system

have to be modified I thinks.

Any tips on how to do repatriation of the phone!?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDeath82:
Just follow the guide linked on the CM 12.1... For me it worked perfect..

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

With the snapdragon app an Auto Flash it works perfect for me. Your right the cm camera app Flash doesn`t work... But Auto Focus flashing is away too.

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------

Hi folks with New kernel u have to change gouvernor to interaktive...
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Finki:
The CM-camera does not flicker the flash on focussing any more, that's true, but the snapdragon cam does not flash in any settings. Why's that? Does this depend on your new kernel? Perhaps my kernel installation was wrong. I installed your "Kernel hybrid.zip" with TWRP Install, was this the wrong method?

Another question: Would it be possible to implement double tap to wake into the kernel?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDeath82:
You did it totaly right... Perhaps you need to wipe Cache and davik Cache after Installation...

My experenience in programming is not good enough to integrate Double tap to wake sorry....
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Finki:
I wiped before the installation of CM ROM.

I don't know anything about Kernels, so hopefully someone could answer this question. Double tap to wake would be the killerfeature for me and I would probabely change soon to CM. Until now I only tested it.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Adge40:
I don't know if it applies here on this phone but on my last device I found double tap to wake in an app called kernel adiutor from the playstore
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Finki:
Thanks, Kernel Adiutor is really nice, but there is no wake feature in the stock kernel. So it has to be build new, but would it be possible? I don't know anything about kernel-making.

Anyone here who could try to build one with double tap to wake?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heathciff:

SMS Limit when sending large number of text messages.

Does anyone of you know any fix to this problem? I already tried textra, go sms, chomp, but nothing works. The pop up notification "Messaging is sending large number of text messages blah blah blah" is still appearing. I also tried editing lines via sqlite but nothing works.. I also tried those apps that says will unlock the limit but nothing is working with lollipop.

Any ideas?

[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] marus2:
Yes, that is a bug also noticed by me.

You have to install some alternative launcher i.e. Nova with Tesla unread plugin.

It won't solve that issue, but show you an bubble with number of missed calls.

Much better, as you can see in first look, after you unlock screen.

It's a pity, that there is no some development for stock rom by ZTE.

The main bugs I see is video playback isn't more than 360p(sometimes will not play videos at all on fb) and the ROM can't see the 7gb internal memory partition, other than that,its a very good rom,other problem I have is the back up of my stock ROM bootloops when I try to restore it,is this because I flashed the boot EU zip?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] android.flasher0517:

I have a question...

I don`t know if many of you are experiencing bad audio on calls. But lately I have bad audio on calls using all outputs (headset, headphones, bluetooth headphones). Bad mic and bad speaker. People sound very muffled and I sound muffled to people - often I need to hang up and call again, hoping that the call quality will improve.

Anyone having the same problem?

I am using a rather good Samsung bluetooth headset, with terrible audio quality. And the same goes with cheaper bluetooth headsets. The 3.5mm jack also gives me the same problem.

I installed DSP mamager in the past and I though that it could have caused a problem. I also installed Viper, and thought that could be the problem too. I uninstalled them both and still, no luck.

Any ideas?

I use my phone on my work where i need to send a couple of messages to a group of people (20+ contacts). But everytime I do so, a popup window with this message appears:

"Messaging is sending large number of SMS. Do you want to allow this app to continue sending messages?"

With buttons "Deny" and "Allow"

I have to press the allow buttons multiple times depending in the number of contacts.

It is irritationg and if I didn't press it immediately,the messages will all fail.

Already tried all the apps in playstore to unlock SMS limit, but none of them are working. Tried third party messaging apps, nothing is working. Also tried editing some values on Setting.db using Sqlite but still not working.

None of the tutorials here in XDA is working for lollipop.

double tap to wake

sensors

what is not working:

I think wifi is not working

camera

probably much more...

Download: Google Drive

Have some fun with it. ;) In my opinion the ui looks really good.

AU boot.img exchange

EU boot.img exchange

Flash this after installation of the S7 Rom, if you own an AU or EU device.
