XtreStoLite marshmallow works great and now has the audio fix for the Canadian model. I like the fact that the install instructions are comprehensive and the ROM has full control over exactly what Samsung stuff you want to install. So far absolutely no glitches or issues of any kind. Plus xposed setup and Viper audio are very easy. LuffyxBomber do you happen to have tested the arter kernel with XtreStoLite? What are the advantages of arter. The kernel with the ROM doesn't include voltage control or overclocking, although I'm not overly bothered by that. Also ROM is setup to use systemless root, which causes pains for the secure settings Tasker plugin.

I've just switched to MM on the S6 but I was using it last year on my old Nexus 5. At the time the new permissions system was causing pains with apps that did not support it. Fortunately most developers have got over that now. I like the per app on demand permissions requests but I imagine some will find it annoying. Personally I've not found a big leap between 5.1.1 and 6. It's faster but that's more likely to be the XtreStoLite ROM with all the Samsung bloat removed. I was using rooted stock on 5.1.1. I used to get 'Google Play services has stopped' messages before but those have stopped since the upgrade. I suspect the battery drain is a little better but again could be the ROM tweaks. MM seems to break some Samsung themes, my favorite theme had some issues although the author has updated it now. I've been trying out the 'good lock' system UI app, that's quite interesting although feels a little incomplete. I think that works also on 5.1.1 so it doesn't really count as a MM advantage.

Is it me or is deleting emails different. I do wish the option to delete would stay open or we'd have that option. I haven't noticed much, mind you I've only been on droid for 3 weeks and flashed on the start of my 3 week.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LuffyxBomber:
Sorry, I have not. I was just suggesting it to xstokerx because he seems to have the call audio issue even though it was fixed (maybe he wasn't using the latest XtreStoLite rom?).

Anyways, I'd like to try Arter but my phone is functioning just fine with the stock rom. After updating to MM, my battery seems about the same, although I can't say for sure since I haven't gotten my phone down to less than 40% since the update, yet!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Nitroxyl:
List of things I've noticed:

Speed of my fingerprint unlock. It's on par or faster than my friends and their IP6S's.

Long-pressing Back button will bring up the context menu. Something I was very used to back on my S3.

More apps are able to stay in Recents without the system having to reload it.

Although not a part of the MM update, Good Lock is such a nice addition. Surprisingly, this app is being updated by Samsung pretty frequently.

Honestly, the wait was killing me. But the update was worth it IMO.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] chrisleeuk:
I was wondering myself if the fingerprint unlock was faster. I'm not generally good at estimating these things, but it does seem a bit snappier in practical use.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] chrisleeuk:
As far as I can tell arter kernel doesn't look like it's supported on Marshmallow. If you go here http://arter97.com/browse/exynos7420/kernel/

and jump into any folder after version 11 the list of supported devices is greatly reduced. Based on the documentation Marshamallow support was added in version 12 but no g925tw8 folder.

Help With S6 Edge (Rogers)

Unfortunately, my carrier is Rogers so i have to wait an unknown time until the 6.0.1 Marshmallow update. Does anyone know of a way to update to 6.0.1 Marshmallow quicker.

Device:

Samsung S6 Edge (Rogers)

Also I am new to XDA sorry if this is a dumb question.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Accraze:
Got to the sammobile website, in the firwares section, type your phone model (g925w8), pick the bell one it doesnt matter, unzip it and flash the file with odin. If you don't know how to flash or how to use odin, google it. Cheers!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alireza_simkesh:
Is there a thread here for news about software updates for S6 Edge?

It would be nice to have announcements for any updates that users receive around the world on their S6 Edge.

Hello

I got my phone in Canada, sm-g925w8 android version 5.1.1.

Had to go to ukraine, got my phone unlocked before I did.

I'm here for over a year now, waiting for marshmallow 6.0.1, everybody I know with s6 edge got it already. I keep checking for it, doesn't come. Does anybody know why ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DhiJay23:
updated my rom with the latest XtreStoLite 3.2 and the mic suddenly stopped working everytime i answered or make a phone calls the other line cant hear me unless in speaker mode. End of sending it back to MTS dealer and they found out the mic is blown so they gave me a loaner and they said they will repair for 2-8weeks and wondering if they gonna send it to samsung or they will repair it on location im just worried because I already tripped the knox im just really hoping that they will repair it and not send it to samsung. just sharing with you guys.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AllBlaxx:
Because you have a different model number than everybody you know in Ukraine. You're not going to get an OTA update at the same time as your friends. You're better off updating manually
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] N_otori0us_:
Does anyone have a mediafire link or mega.nz link for the 6.0.1 update?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alireza_simkesh:
you can use CF-Auto root. But It will trip your KNOX.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Cookie_Fusion:
If someone could point me in a correct direction. I've done all the steps to root my device in post 1 and I can not get into TWRP. Every time i get to android recovery. I do have the SM-G925W8. Version. Am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: Tried again and it worked :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ookiller:
I have the same problem...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
You guys both need to flash the latest version.

3.2 doesn't include the 925 T/W8 kernel by default you need to flash it manually for that version.

(I'm also on 925W8 but latest 3.3 sets G925F)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DhiJay23:
you're always a life saver man. will it fix the mic issue though?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
Use the add on and at the very end select 'reflash tw/8 stock kernel blah blah' (I noticed this also does not come packaged with our kernel, the addon does though.) and then that will! Tested with my girlfriend now, thanks to your message I actually had no idea mic wasn't working until I needed to make a call. What I suggested above fixed it for me though. So to sum up all of this nonsense haha yes it should. :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DhiJay23:
unfortunately I end up sending it back to the dealer for repair so i have no way to test it but im crossing my finger that they will fix it since the MTS guy told me that the mic is blown if not I definitely crossing all my fingers that this will gonna fix my problem. Thanks again man.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:

Help!!! SOS stuck after flashing XtreStoLite and recommended bootloader

I can only get into download mode now and no recovery. I was running stock rooted 5.1.1 on my g920w8 then today decided to flash XtreStoLite and his recommended bootloader. All went well then started installing apps etc...then when I went to reboot to recovery I'm stuck at Samsung start screen. I tried even Odin back to stock 5.1.1 but it fails! I'm not sure what to try next..is it the bootloader that's causing Odin to fail on going back to stock 5.1.1? Where can I get that if so. I currently downloading latest 6.01 stock from Sammobile and see if I can Odin that back but I have feeling its bootloader problem. I tried flashing twrp tar with Odin and it goes through fine but I still can't get past start screen to recovery?? At least I can get into download mode so I'm not bricked?

Please help I need my phone thanks al!

OK sorted had to flash stock 6.0.1

Got a phonecall from MTS and they said my phone is not fix because samsung assest my phone and found out that my warranty is void Im kinda figure it will happen when they send it to samsung I was really hoping they will send it to their own repair shop. Right now i was really hoping that the new mod will fix my phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Murtaza110:
I wanna show my phone under warranty but I have already rooted it (SM-G925W8 on 5.1.1) - rogers. Do they check for your knox counter? and if so, is there a way to reset it? thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jproy12:
Unfortunately no way to reset it like the old times, it trips something that can't be reverted, I believe it's an actual physical hardware that gets tripped, like a capacitor that explodes and not software related.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Murtaza110:
Do Rogers check for this?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jproy12:
I couldn't tell you, there's always a chance... I don't think you'll be able to get a clear answer to that one, I know some that have sent their phones in for repairs with Knox tripped and got it repaired and others in the same situation and got denied...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DhiJay23:
do you happen to fix the mic issues that you have?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ookiller:
I reinstalled the rom and that seemed to have fixed the problem.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DhiJay23:
So I got my phone back and for some reason its working now. Did a factory reset and tried to make a phone call and everything works fine now. Thats all that matters. What version are you using? I still have 3.1.1 that seems to work for me very smooth with 3.1.1 aroma addons too. Im just wondering if 3.3.1 is better especially the battery life.

Definitly Twisted v2 for MM 6.0.1

I've search recently, (yesterday)

I've tried Hacker Kernel, sadly In call audio dosen't work (and rumours [i've read those in the thread] say that the project is dead so..)

then I've checked arter kernel, but for MM there is no build yet for our TMO/ W8 devices, arter still working on it

out of idea i've asked the question in a thread, they refer me to Twisted V2 kernel, and for now everything is wprking like it should, and what I think is the most important to a project is a dev who still work on his project when it's not done yet (even if he is not forced to do that) TheSickness is in my opinion a great dev and still work on his kernel for his s6 flat and our s6 edge !

So, a few pages back .... Almost all the custom roms I've seen tell you to load a custom recovery (usually TWRP that I've seen). XstreoLite 3.3.1, for example says:

So, if I want to keep the stock bootloader, can I just upload the image via the AP file selection in Odin and be done with it? Is it rooted if I go this route?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Accraze:
I got a problem, i flashed twrp in odin and got recovery is not seandroid enforcing. Cant boot into twrp. What should i do?

Edit : installed the latest twrp but supersu gives me a bootloop, anybody encountered this?

Edit2 : Cf auto root also puts me in a bootloop. Send help

Edit3 : The problem is the recovery, everything i flash puts me in a bootloop. I cant install any other twrp either. Really need y'all help asap
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
What link did you flash? (Use this : http://teamw.in/devices/samsunggalaxys6edge.html ) Also ignore the recovery is not seandroid enforcing that happens with flashed custom recoveries and kernels.

Supersu? Are you just trying to root stock or are you using a custom rom?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Accraze:
I flashed tmobile twrp (every ones that finishes with .tar) and the canadian twrp, the latest one of both worked but everytime i flash something, it bootloops. I even tried to flash the deep sleep fix and it bootlooped ( i hate the new 3.0.0 twrp, so many bugs). Then I used cf-auto root and it bootlooped too... Btw, no matter how long i was ignoring the seandroid thing, it was stuck on the s6-edge boot logo. Thanks for replying.

Edit1 : Got cf auto root to work, gonna try twrp again.

Edit 2: got it working haha, thanks tho and I hope i will help someone with those unecessary posts

Yeah man flash a recovery thru odin and flash the rom of your choice. All custom roms are rooted

Yeah dude just follow the steps in part one. Only dont re download stock firmware. Get the twrp. Put the super user zip onto your internal memory. Download odin and flash the twrp zip. It goes in the ap tab on odin. Make sure the box is checked. Once you flash twrp just boot your phone into recovery mode and install the super user zip. Rooted.

Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to share with you the best ROM with the best Kernel so far for our abundant Canadian variant S6 Edge.

CarHD ROM V.23, with Arter Kernel V. 21 Final. Then Flash the batche for Audio Call.

Smooth, fast and awesome battery life. In 24 hours battery consumption screen on time up to 4 hours. I formated my phone as well to F2FS.

Give it a try guys.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
Please try not to use words like BEST.

You'll find the majority of XDA is very opinionated.

Plus you center out a single developer when all of them are surely trying their part at making this device great.

Any rom that is built for 925 is accessible with the correct kernel.

So yes it's a

good

rom but everyone varies depending on usage.

In other words, after rooting the 925W (Canadian) version, can we de-brand it and flash firmwares 925F models on it?

Pretty sure you can't revert back as the bootloader can't be downgraded. You may be out of luck. Perhaps take it to the nearest Samsung service center? They maybe able to flash it back.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alb2:
Correct, you can't downgrade the bootloader and (from my experience) the service center won't do it because they always install the latest version of the firmware.
