They're arm64 files, from AOSP. Yea, not all the files lol. If you look in the zip darkera had in his op there was only 5 or 6 files in there. I'll try it now, I have a few minutes before dinner
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Hmm. Getting boot sound now. Still doesn't boot though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
boot sound is good. means xposed isnt killing it on boot now the mangled core jar is
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
It seems like it's gonna boot but instead of going to optimizing apps it goes back to splash. We need xposed badly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mamdroid:
Hey guys, do yall think the working expose files from the g900t S5 would help yall figure out how to get expose to run on our device?

The only reason I ask is that the sickness has expose running on t-mobile S5 and he has a flash able zip for the files and then install the expose apk like normal. He has it posted on his thread twisted lollipop. I don't know anything about getting expose to run, so I don't know if it would help yall or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
No. Our device is 64bit (arm64).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mamdroid:
Oh ya I didn't think about that. Oh well sorry guys

I do appreciate all the work yall are putting into getting it running though. Thanks a lot!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] enyce5434:
hey

Hey guys, Sorry for the random question. How do I get back the lock screen clock. I flashed the wrong file and removed the clock with the screen brightness slider... Thanks...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] v2.2v:
Dirty flash the ROM again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] enyce5434:
Oh ok... Sounds easy... Lol thanks...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Dirty flash actually won't do it. It's stored on /data. Easiest way is to use the same zip you flashed to take it off. Open archive with 7zip and edit the updater script. I actually posted a zip earlier in the thread to revert it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
Yep, this means its not dexopting properly. ergo art is busted. = core jar we mucked with. :/ but i still think xposed needs t be modded like the arm32 guys. does it boot with out xposed. i assume not, because these edits depend on xposted basically. but if it does it means core jar is ok.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Alarand:
Wait, as in, you hear boot sound and it sticks on the samsung logo directly before optimizing apps or it just loops back to the powered by android boot screen?

This probably won't help but when I was messing around with things it would hang for several minutes after the boot noise on the samsung logo screen but eventually i noticed it did tend to boot.

I know it's a different issue entirely with getting xposed to work but I thought I'd mention just incase

edit: Just to differentiate, the boot logo says powered by android but the samsung logo I noticed it would hang on is the one that only says samsung and comes up after the boot animation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Alarand:
Know your busy but just wondering.

Do you use ktoonsez kernel / ktoonservative mod profile? Servicely? Any chance you'd want to help me out or point me in the right direction regarding how you improved your battery life on the S6 specifically if you get the chance? If you want to pm me by all means I'd appreciate it a lot. I know this is supposed to be for looper dev so apologies
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I use looper exactly how it comes. Don't flash any kernels. Don't use any battery saving apps. I also don't use WiFi calling, or volte. And I have maybe 15 apps installed tops. Something you're installing is effecting your battery life. There are no bugs causing battery drain in looper, nothing that you won't find in stock as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] enyce5434:
Thanks. But I can't find it.....?. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Paradoxumical:
Check my posts and attachments for the zip you're enquiring about.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] enyce5434:
Hey thanks I got it... ??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Seeing the permissions apps actually have is a little unnerving lol...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] rom116:
Ending my love affair with HTC

Hi guys. I've been a long time HTC user and never had a different brand android phone. I'm purchasing a Galaxy S 6 today and it looks like this is about the most stable ROM for T-Mobile users and the international ones have issues with voice audio on calls. I've been trying to keep up with things over the last couple of weeks but the language is a little different with Samsungs than with HTC. Can I just get a few pointers?

1. I've read things about flashing a modem, is this necessary every time you flash a ROM on Samsung Devices?

2. Are there any stability issues with this ROM, I've read about poor memory management being an issue. I like to restart my phone every couple of days anyways, should that keep me free from the issues until there's a fix?

I know I could ask these questions in the general forum, but if someone doesn't mind taking the time to answer them I'd appreciate it. I like to work with the guys who are on the same ROM as I am. Some of the guys over at the HTC One m8 forums were a little irritable over really simple questions. Thanks for the help. God bless.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I haven't flashed a modem yet. No, you don't have to flash modems. I'd advise you not to unless it's explicitly recommended. As far as memory management goes, it's a device issue. IMO, this ROM is more useable and stable than stock. Battery life is better. It'll come down to what you prefer. If you're coming from HTC all the stock bloat and status bar clutter may not bother you on the S6. I personally can't take it. Which is why I started tweaking things.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] rom116:
Great, so the process would be to root, then install TWRP, then flash ROM correct?

And is there an issue with whatever this "KNOX" is? And if this is tripped, does it create any issues? I don't care about Samsung pay at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] sublimaze:
Root, install TWRP, backup the stock ROM, flash new ROM.

Don't worry about Knox if you don't care about Samsung pay and you don't plan to return/exchange phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Samsung pay is lame. Don't worry about Knox. Tmobile will still warranty the phone down the road even if you trip Knox. It's really just about security. Yes, you have the steps correct. I'd use Odin to flash twrp, make a backup of your stock rom, then flash your rom of choice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] freebee269:
If you don't want to trip Knox you can root with pingpong then use flashify to install recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
Is this a full implementation with all the permissions? I've tried using the app "App Ops" from the play store and it doesn't seem to work for me. After ticking off letting Google Play Services keep my device awake, it actually keeps my device more awake than if I left it untouched :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
flashing an unsigned samsung recovery such as twrp will trip knox as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Sturos:
To follow up on this, I also encountered the bootloop where the device would simply reboot on the Samsung logo. Flashfire gave an error about recursive failing (? I'm not certain about this given it flashed this message very quickly). I used Odin to go back to stock and rerooted with new version of pingpong (I had used version 1.0 previously), I used the same exact zip in Flashfire (with the boot.img and appropriate line removed from the updater script) and it took considerably longer to flash but this time was successful. First boot took approximately 4-5 minutes but worked perfectly fine afterwards!

My best guess as to why is perhaps the process for switching to supersu in the earlier versions broke something. As to what that is I'm not skilled enough to know...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
It's a full dealio. I haven't really messed with it yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Here what my battery life is like. I lost 3%in the 6 hours I slept last night. SOT says I'm close to 7 hours but I think ambient display messes those numbers up. I think I'm probably in the 3 to 4 hour range.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Alarand:
I'm so done with analyzing the battery life on this phone I might just hide the icon and wait until it tells me it's low :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Lol. It won't on Looper. I disabled all battery notifications ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Alarand:
haha I've been foiled again.

Idk man my standby battery life is fluctuating and I think it has something to do with google play services but I have no idea how to stop it.

Last night I lost 16% over ~8 hours the night before that I lost 3% and I'm not sure why. I greenified a lot of stuff and I even have servicely now but I'm not knowledgeable enough to pin down what's causing it so I have no clue if what I'm doing is helping or hurting the battery life.

I did notice that in location settings google play services is listed as high gps usage so I'm going to see how the battery is with gps off

Run for the hills, noob questions incoming.

Is it okay to remove apks from the rom zip before flashing or does this mess with the integrity of the rom somehow?

[MENTION=2918779]mikeyinid[/MENTION] Sorry if you've answered this before but do you use greenify / servicely and if so how aggressively do you manage your apps. Do you greenify everything, system apps included, or only play store apps for example.

Any help is appreciated mane

p.s. did you just start working on the final version or is it ready already :cyclops:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Final is gonna be just making sure any issues are resolved. I can't find any bugs though so won't be to much work. I'm gonna wait to do anymore til we get an update. I've still been messing with smali trying to figure toggles out but I'm having a tough time wrapping my head around it. Final will go up this weekend. Sometime. As far as greenify / servicely I've never used those apps. But like I said before, I don't use a whole lot of apps. A good way to see what's running on your phone is to go into developer options then process stats. It'll show you exactly how long apps and services have been running.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikaeldalc:
Wheres the link to FINAL ROM? The changelog is up but no link to it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ledvedder:
I replaced the systemui.apk with the one that removes the center clock. Is there any way to fix the notification bar pulldown? I have such a habit of swiping down right in the center of the screen, but it doesn't allow me to do that. Only on either side.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Ah, I did forget to remove that button. I'll see if I can fix that today.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ledvedder:
Could you possibly add am/pm to the clock also?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Yea no problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikaeldalc:
Anyway to get the flipboard briefing back? I actually enjoyed it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ledvedder:
Another little annoying this I'm experiencing. When I wake up the phone using the fingerprint button, a blank greyish/blue screen flashes momentarily before my lockscreen wallpaper shows up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
Do you have ambient display enabled? This is a related glitch I think
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ledvedder:
I do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
There's limited ability to change how ambient display works, but you can turn it off in settings -> display
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
[MENTION=2086526]mrapp[/MENTION] is correct. That happens when you have ambient display enabled and you wake the phone from deep sleep
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ledvedder:
Has anyone done any kernel adjustments with this rom? Governor, voltage, etc?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] rom116:
Is there a difference between using odin and flashify? I have a mac and it doesn't look like odin works on Mac.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
If a mac is all you have access to use ping pong to root then use flashify to flash recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
This will be the last addition to the ROM. The app is available on the play store, Galaxy Button lights, but I integrated it into display settings. I'm looking through just double checking to make sure I haven't forgotten anything. Should have it uploaded tonight.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] c_86:
Did you by chance add advance power menu?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
It's been in there since...the beginning?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
It's uploading. Check the folder in 30ish minutes. It's called Looper.zip
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] c_86:
Odd. Never noticed it. My bad
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
It's been there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ledvedder:
Dirty flash, I'm assuming? Are there any other changes in this besides the capacitive light control? I already have the app to control them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Check the OP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ledvedder:
Awesome! Thanks. I was just wondering if it had the am/pm clock or the pull down fix for no center clock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Nope. I'll post that today some time. I have a ****load of homework to do so when a get to a good stopping point I'll do it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] william guz:
That one of the best future of this ROM touch the center clock to turn the screen off... awesome
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
Update looking good, installed with no hitches! :good:

Thanks for your hard work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Fightoffyoredeamons:
Final is buttery smooth. Thanks man. We will have to meet up and I'll take ya out for a beer
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Daxxer2007:
Awe he removed the v4a out of it stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Alarand:
Final working great. Thanks for the hard work man

Wut? If it's stock then why would it have v4a? I'm guessing if you dirty flash the stock rom over looper v4a would still get installed? Would it not be easier to just download it separately though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] c_86:
k, there is something funky up with this ROM...

so on looper i have the issue of if someone is to call me and I answer, they cannot hear me and I cannot hear them... I know its an issue with the ROM as i do not have this issue at all on alliance ROM...

what can i do to help figure this out?

my info so far:

Device: 920W8

ROM: Looper (final)

Kernel: KT latest

after the first call, everything works fine, but its the first call that is the issue... this is odd...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] RFrancis:
Does hangouts calling work with your ROM now ? It seems like it was broken last time I checked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Sturos:
This probably doesn't help but I actually have this same issue on stock w/ root. :S
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Yup. It's not just looper. It happens to me after flashing a rom, and sometimes after a reboot. After the first call it's fine. I've gotten in the habit of calling my voicemail to kill that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Alarand:
Fingerprint scanner seems to FC after using it for a little. Only happens on the actual lockscreen, just turned it off for now. Might be from using the ktoonservative governor but not sure
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Hahaha. For once I have some input on the fingerprint scanner. I've been using it since I clean installed Looper last night. Haven't had a single issue. None. Did you do a clean install?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Alarand:
I think it's the ktoonservative governor cause it's working fine now on interactive. Yeah clean install
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Aanyone else think only 2 notifications on the lock screen is ridiculous?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Scuk:
Ill get on hangouts and let you know how I ended up later tonight or tomorrow. Could you send me a link to your aroma package?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I havent uploaded it yet, i can
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Scuk:
I got your pastebin PM, that's fine. Getting late here, up at 5 am. Gonna have a look at it tmrw to see if I can figure out why it wont boot. Ill message you on hangouts tmrw. Have a good night.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] The Sickness:
Is there a error on the screen when it askes you to reboot? Like status 6?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
No, it says unable to load update binary. I did get it to actually boot into aroma and run through everything last night, and it did give me a status 6.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] The Sickness:
Did you take a update-binary from a S6 rom and rename it update-binary-installer and replace the one in aroma?

Here is a great guide for you

Aroma Guide
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
of course
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] The Sickness:
Status 6 is updater script error. Are you using vrtheme in aroma? Or just using full apks to system?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Exel:
Here is a flashable to remove the headset warning mod on a deodexed version.

That is the only mod in this flashable.

[MENTION=2918779]mikeyinid[/MENTION], huge thanks for the links to the S5 forums. And I hope you don't mind I reused your flashable zip.

[MENTION=2918779]mikeyinid[/MENTION] Progress on the ambient display front :D

I can now get the device to wake from shaking it or flipping it over. It still likes to stop working entirely, however. Haven't got that one figured out yet.

I changed a few lines of code so I'm not sure which did it. I'm running out of time before I have to head off to work so I pushed them all and crossed my fingers it wouldn't explode my device and it would work -- and it did!

In frameworks-res bools.xml I added:

<bool name="config_dozeUseAccelerometer">true</bool>

Right below

<bool name="config_dozeAfterScreenOff">true</bool>

I still haven't figured out if this line is useful or not yet

<bool name="config_powerDecoupleAutoSuspendModeFromDisplay">false</bool>

Edit: Setting this line to true seems to make pickup and proximity extremely unreliable.

In systemui integers.xml I added/changed

<integer name="doze_pickup_vibration_threshold">10</integer>
<integer name="doze_shake_accelerometer_threshold">10</integer>

right below

<integer name="doze_pulse_schedule_resets">3</integer>

I also increased the pulse duration to 5000 which is a bit more to my liking

There's also a small icons alpha which I'm wondering if is responsible for the black and whiteness of the small icons -- it would allow you to use ambient display with a theme that has colored phone/camera icons on the lock screen

I was browsing around this commit when I got the idea to try it. I don't know if the accelerometer lines are actually the ones doing the work because I also found the pickup vibration threshold at the same time. I suspect that one is what reduces the sensitivity of the pickup gesture. Also I can't seem to interact with the ambient display notifications or icons, which kinda makes it pointless. Now if we could just get doze to stopped getting killed in the background... :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
full system, using other peoples updater without editing it works, odexed, deodexed... I dont really wanna use someone elses directly though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I added all that yesterday, but still only wakes on notification and/or when pulling out of pocket. Just picking it up or shaking does nothing. If you look through the nexus 6 systemui, it has all those. The powerDecoupleAutoSuspendModeFromDisplay line is also set to true there. Thats what I would go off of, its the only device I've actually seen that ambient display actually halfway works on lol. I think doze_pulse_schedule_resets also sets the number of times the screen actually pulses, try upping that number and see what happens.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
I was having a really hard time getting shake to wake work with the powerDecoupleAutoSuspendModeFromDisplay line set to true. Perhaps it would be worth testing? You also added the accelerometer lines and lowered the tolerance? I had to shake kind of vigorously to get the phone to wake -- could probably lower the tolerance a bit more. It was definitely working though, not going crazy here :laugh:

There was a dev (crpalmer) that hacked ambient display into working perfectly on the Moto X 2014, he even got it to work with the ir sensors. Granted he was working from source, but I might try looking around there. The hardware between the X and the 6 are pretty similar though so I don't know if that bodes well for us or not.

Edit: I believe pulse refers to the number of times a single notification will pulse before ambient display will stop breathing -- but I did have the same idea. It always seems to work a few times (I wonder if it's only 3...). I was going to try upping that to 999 later.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
:eek: 999 might be a bit to much lol. if i have some free time at work ill mess with those settings and see what i can come up with. did you mess with the line that says use accelerometer at all? I have that line set to true, but i just noticed shake thresh was set to 2000 lol. changed it to 10, I'll see what happens. So far my phone is still deep sleeping just fine and doesn't seem to use any more power than it was without ambient...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
Well I'm kind of hoping that value isn't the one that's responsible for doze stopping working -- because technically we would want that value to be infinity. Theoretically that would cause ambient display to pulse indefinitely, though =/

I'll probably have some time to look into this further later today
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I changed the things we talked about and I'm still seeing the same behavior. Doesn't light when picked up or shaken. Only on new noti and when pulled out of pocket.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] freebee269:
Keep in mind that the art on our gs6 is not exactly the same as aosp art. Samsung changed a lot of things on our device with art to get their stuff to work. It's why xposed won't work with touchwiz. The moto x is aosp which is why it was easier for that guy to port it. There may be too many changes to get ambient display to work fully.

Hey do you guys know if AT&T got the supposed memory fix update? If so, has anyone tried flashing roms from their section?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] william guz:
I'm using at&t CleanROM 1.1 as my daily driver on my t-mobile gs6. for two days now no problem so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Fightoffyoredeamons:
With a Tmoible Kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] RFrancis:
Does hangout dialer place calls from the final version of your ROM now ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
There's no kernel in the rom so I imagine so. But, I think their kernel would work on our device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Fightoffyoredeamons:
OK cool. I was just reading your post in that thread too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
I do not miss re-basing my whole rom back in my cooking days :/ Good luck mikeyinid god speed lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Lol. I don't think I'm doing anything until 5.1.1 drops for us officially. I've been neglecting my school work, and my gf and I broke up today. Which has nothing to do with my geekiness. Still.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Working fine here
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
No worries, focus on whats important for sure and sorry to hear.
