Curious, why would you want the Edge and get rid of the "normal" S6? Not trying to get off topic or anything but just wondering cause I could not use it as my primary phone but I guess that's just me. Would think more devs would grab the Edge versus S6... Anyways, can u do me a favor and send me screenshots of your settings for V4A? I have been meaning to get them from ya.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I've only been using Viper for like 3 days. I don't think you want my settings lol. I think there's whole threads about that stuff here on XDA.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] shojus:
Ok I 'll check. And I know there's threads... Lol I jus figured since we were running the same rom and had the same phone that maybe you had some magic settings that i could play with. It's cool, I'll do some searching. Only used it a few times cause it was built into roms. Thanks again for Looper! :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
While i use viper, and love it greatly. It doesn't get served justice on any internal speaker. Headsets all the way. so the threads dedicated to it will be chock block full of ideal headset setups for the best fidelity.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] shojus:
Cool man! I am actually just starting to look around a little. Thanks 4 the feedback though!

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I'm getting "E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/Download/Looper_1.2.zip' on my 925T when flashing the zip
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
the zip is damaged. redownload it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] CrazyTechnoBoy:
Well I checked the md5 sum and it matched, but I'll try again. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
That is odd then. There are two times i have had this issue. corrupt zip. or my recovery was too old. and i dont think its the recovery as its pretty new considering the device is a month old. Failing a redownload. You could try updating the updater binary with a different one. however i dont see why it works for others and not you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] FligMupple:
I flashed this ROM, and while there were no problems during the installation, there are two issues.

1) Twice when pressing Home to wake up the phone, the screen flashed white for a split second and then went black, but the phone was still functioning. (I just couldn't see anything). And one time it was at like 100% white brightness and I could barely see kind of text in a yellowish band in the middle of the screen. The other two times when waking the phone, the screen was normal.

2) The capacitive buttons do not light up or work when pressing them.

I tried a few searches for answers in this thread, but didn't find anything related. Can anyone help me with these issues?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
That's odd. And the first time anyone has reported anything like that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
Id recommend doing a full wipe and seeing if the issues persist on a fresh flash, not a dirty flash. If they do post back and we will see what we can try next. As a side note i havnt had these issues. But this doesn't mean they are not existing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Maqical:
ok so I have a stock S6, what exactly do I need to do first to flash this.

I'm stock rooted with ping pong..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
What kernel are you using? The one that came in the rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
Just so everyone knows, pingpong root + de-kerneled looper via fireflash works without tripping knox....just did it.

Also, dumb question but I see 3 minit now has quick settings mod, any thoughts about adding it? I may try this weekend, but I'll have to re-set-up my apk decompiler /recompiler set up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
It takes about 3 minutes to setup. I looked at that stuff and didn't find it useful. If someone else wants to get it working by all means.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
Cool, like I said I'll try this weekend (depends a lot on how we'll the kids behave lol)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] CrazyTechnoBoy:
Can anyone with a G925T running this ROM tell me what firmware they running? I think I may have figured out my problem.

EDIT: I had an outdated firmware. That's the reason I got the error.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Spider_Pig27:
Bro I had it & trust me your better off with the s6. Those extra $100 aren't really worth it. I ended up returning it and swapping ir for the s6. Also even though the battery is smaller on our devices the edge battery was a tad worst. I personally did not find myself using the edge features at all. Besides with time once development starts picking up we probably will get some edge features baked into one of our roms. I am honestly wayyyyyyyy happier with my s6. If you asked me Samsung is slowly becoming apple. The edge should only be a $25 difference for the edges not $100. But hey this is just me. Just remember your not missing out on much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
Eh, just looked deeper, not what I thought it was. Oh well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] RFrancis:
When I change the SIM to anything besides the T-Mobile Sim I loose the brigthenss has in the notification pull down also I can't change it in the display menu... Any ideas ?

EDIT: I tried to replicate the glitch but couldn't so I'm conclusion I don't know what happened ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
As requested by PM:

To flash on non-knox tripped S6 with out tripping knox.

1) root via pingpong.

2) install flashfire: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3075433

3) download looper

4) open looper in a zip program (I use zarchiver so it modified the files without manually unzipping them rezipping.

5) delete boot.img

6) navigate to /META-INF/COM/GOOGLE/ANDROID/UPDATER-SCRIPT and open in a text editor.

7) near the bottom is a line about flashing boot.img, delete it.

8) save file and zip (keeping zips structute)

9) open flash fire

10) press the + (after reading the information) and choose option with 'flash zip' in it.

11) find your saved (modified) Looper zip and open it.

12) press flash zip

13) let it do it's thing, it takes a bit and first boot will appear to hang on samsung logo, give it at least 10 mins before you think it's bad (and if it gets that far, try rebooting the phone and let it sit apparently sometimes it takes 2 boots to work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] RFrancis:
What happened to the peel app for tvs it was removed in the latests 1.2... Grrr
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] kronikings:
What is lost?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Its in the play store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
Not sure what you mean. You don't get the kernel, and you get the ROM. Nothing is lost really though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I think he meant looper. Also, I'm pretty sure the updater-script having the line about the boot.img won't hurt anything. It just won't flash it if its not there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
hey.. you think you could pm me the updater script you use? thats the only issue i have with my rom in flashfire.. do you use specific mount loints that id have to edit for s6 edge?

and if you use a program to make it can you let me kno via pm? i will give creds in my rom thread once created...

you can check out my previous rom in vzw s5 forum called Extreme Syndicate..

thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
The script is posted a few pages back as an attachment. Anyone is free to use any parts of this ROM. I'm all about sharing. I will tell you this. The script were using won't set the correct permissions for a few things on the edge.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I noticed my phone was acting weird. Lots of redraws/reloads. I forgot I was messing with some lowmemkiller stuff and had a script in init.d that kills apps really aggressively. It's called 01lowmem. Delete it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
i really just need it to boot lol. the script i used from archikitchen flashed but all it did was a factory reset haha.. then i used one from my old rom and changed mount points but it crashed in flashfire during install and i had to odin back so hopefully yours paired with removing boot img from script and from rom will flash and boot.

i dont know why haha.. youd think itd be as easy as wiping and mounting system and installing new system then unmount but its not so easy unfortunately lol

doesnt help theres 0 roms for g925v currently so i have no scripts to use yet.

thanks again for any and all help.. once i get it up and running you can use my rom to figure out whats ok to remove (my s5 rom was around 400-500mb in size) as well as i can help with deodexing ;) and ither various items.

i had another dev with vzw s6 who said ge even was able to flash successfuly an aroma zip in flashfire so i plan on looking into that down the road as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
Ah, I was confused lol. Yea it shouldn't hurt to leave it, just wanted to set it up so if someone messed up and left the boot.IMG in it wouldn't trip knox. 2 steps so if someone forgets one it won't Bork their phone lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
i wish verizon had unlocked BL's :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
What are the Edges mount points like? same as the S6? also if your looking for a bare bones empty rom. Id recommend using the Canadian telus rom as a base as they are always the emptiest ones to start with in my experiences. We used to use them as a base back in the Synergy rom days when i cooked with that team and when i cooked solo.

Edit: Just saw ur VZW this will be difficult :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jazenf:
Has anyone flashed on their Rogers Edge, an how did you get your edge features to work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
Op proided me info that the mount points should be same as s6..

i actually build my own roms from the stoc tar img i pulled myself. I am not new to roms just new to flashfire and the usual way i make update scripts does not work.. it could hae been related to vzw having locked bl and not being able to flash kernels
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
Untill you generate a proper update-script you wont even get the boot splash screen or sound. been there done that. However with out kernel flashing, the VZW devices wont get the full love of rom flashing. Sucks really.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
exactly lol. thats why i know its the update script..

and agreed.. sucks not having a custom kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] kronikings:
Step 4 says open Lost in a zip program. What is lost?

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

Oh ok..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
So should we start a definitive list for bloatware that can be removed with out damaging base function?

I've been playing with some things see what can be pulled before it makes the device useless.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Fightoffyoredeamons:
Yes please!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] c_86:
yes please! What you can do is do add on packages like xtreme does for his ROMs that way if someone wants some of the apps they can...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jazenf:
It would be great if this could be ported to the Edge as well, I'm sure you'd make a lot of people happy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
add on packages are a good idea only for apps that are not available on the app store. any apps that are. its a waste of time to make add ons :)

I am working with a stock telus rom to test debloat since i dont want to obscure any findings with tweaks mikeyinid has done. (also i like the stock battery icon shhhhhhhh) lol i however have been out of the game so long i suck butt at apk editing and cannot get my apk i've removed the sfinder and quick connect from to work. Or maybe i have to patch the services/package manager to ignore sigs but i thought mikeyinid did that im using his services.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] c_86:
well email app, peel app are ones that you cannot get off the play store... I just tried to get the Peep app and it says its not compatible with my device so...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
It is patched. No Sig checks. Its not just services though. I think core-libart.jar also. Or core-junit.jar. can't remember which.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Sooooo. My gf is out of town til Monday. And I only have finals for one class left. Andddddd, my youngest 2 kids will be with their mom. So I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing all weekend :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
Oh yes you are correct. I just cheated and used lucky patcher to patch it for me LOL

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

This is odd, Let me give it a go, ill post back.

Edit: Peel does in fact say its not compatible. the play store probably has not updated its compatible device list yet. Its allowed for the rest of my devices. So id offer that as a package untill thats resolved in the play store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
I posted my very large list of safe to debloat apps a few pages back. Obviously some of the apps I removed are things others may want to keep, but I have been using that list as a guide and I have run into zero issues.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60295585&postcount=3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
I will use this list and start pruning making sure i dont break anything useful.

For example, I feel like a Jedi being able to use "the force" (gesture) to wake my device with out touching it haha. I told my girlfriend i was a Jedi, and i could prove it. she rolled her eyes and questioned how i ever managed to get a gf lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] c_86:
I wonder the same thing about how I got my wife... jedi, starwars, startrek.. jesh...

if you are able to de-bloat this compared to xtreme, then you will have the ultimate ROM ever
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
Not my rom its mikeyinid's so all creds to him. I'm just offering spare time to test things. I'm sure he is also working on debloating. Two heads better then one right?

One thing we have to consider though with the list of apps people are safely freezing. this is all fine and dandy, but that does not mean some of those frozen apps are not required for a first boot and set up scenario. so this requires a light touch and investigation ;) But we shal get there guys and gals!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
I've nuked just about all of that stuff already ;) I set up a label in TiBu with all of these on it. Whenever I install a new rom version, TiBu rememebers the label and I batch uninstall everything after boot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] c_86:
well if he has a look at the xtreme ROM, that is very much debloated and probably good to go off of as that ROM had no issues with FCs or running with all of the bloat apps... just a thought...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
My list is just about a 1:1 comparison of my apps vs debloated apps in xtresto. I kept a few things here and there because they are services I use. Further, as a W8 user, I've removed all the IMS apps and Wifi calling apps because we cannot use VoLTE or wifi calling
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] c_86:
thats the one think I need to do still, i removed most of the apps as well, except the wifi calling and VoLTE... havent been able to pin point those ones yet
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
Good to know i will diff that rom to see what i can pull with out breaking things. as we know the debloat breaks things and you have to use addons to get some things back.

Also, It would be nice to write a little script that will remove the tmo stuff on first boot if it detects the W8 boot loader ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
Well if/when aroma happens, it's conceivable one of us could help mikey code an option that says are you a w8 user? If so CSC, certain apps and more could be added and removed.

I don't know what the folders are while looking at the app folders in system, but when in Titanium Backup I just removed any app that says IMS or WiFi calling in the name :P I think there were 3ish of each
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
There are a couple apks, a framework jar, and CSC flags. the issue is its also tied into the framework, and systemui i think as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
That is why I need to get Aroma going. And so 925 users don't have to flash their boot.img separate. Also, I have some info on ambient display:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
But... but.. :crying:

This doesn't explain why the sensors work momentarily after boot....

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

Well, I just nuked the 3 IMS framework jars and the TmoWfc jar and now it refuses to boot, so something important is still being called in those jars
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mocsab:
Thank you - can I suggest something ? on this rom and others you have done in the recent past - when updates like t his are done, you often upload the revised rom - but use the exact same file name you used the time before. This can cause confusion - I try to date stamp my downloads but sometimes forget - it would be so much easier if the roms each had a different title -

forgive me if I sound like I am complaining - I really am not - just a suggestion I thought might help everyone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Why would you even keep anything but the most recent?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
The framework its self depends on all the jars present in the framework folder, since dependencies were compiled in. so to truly want to offer the W8 users a tmo clean rom. the whole framework from the W8 would be required.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I wish either 920t or w8 would get a freakin update already. I don't use volte or WiFi calling so I don't need that stuff anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mocsab:
I probably shouldn't but I do - Eventually I rip them out and clean things up - but it's more about - I flashed 1.2 - then see another 1.2 - it looks like it is teh exact same file I flashed two days ago - if the file were names - 1.2.a, 1.2.b, 1.2.c etc - it seems easier to recognize there is a new file - something to look at downloading...the only way I know for sure it is different now is looking at the upload date on AFS - (when you store things on MEga - they don't give you an upload date.

hell, maybe it is just me - and if so, I can deal with it - but it just seemed more user friendly. (at the end of the day, the last thing I want to do is create more work for you - so if this does - forget it - I can deal with it)

thanks - I do appreciate everything you do...it is far beyond my ability and for that i am very grateful
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] LexusNoodles:
Not sure what happened but followed the instructions and got a bootloop. Flashed back to stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Hmm. Actually you make a good point. I mean, it did take me like 5 different 1.2 zips to get it right lol. I'll try to remember to do this moving forward.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] FligMupple:
Now that I have this ROM installed properly, I have one question.

With the clock in the center, swiping down the middle of the screen does not pull down the notifications panel. Is there a way to disable interactiveness of the status bar clock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
There's a hidden button there, that's why that area isn't active from the home screen. I use it quite a bit, so I wont take it out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
As for ambient display. there is probably a way to get it working. I used t on my S4 Mini on CM 12
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
How long did you let it sit? I thought I not looper at first to, took a long time to boot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
300+ fonts? I think we shall. Go check this thread out. I installed it and works perfectly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] LexusNoodles:
A little less than 10 minutes. It would show the samsung made for android screen for about a second and then restart.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
Ah. Mine sat at the samsung logo. Not sure what happened then. Sorry.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] roger1955:
Pull down of the notification panel works for me. I just installed the rom earlier today. Center clock is also the screen off button.

I feel as though it's likely something I removed while debloating that's causing this, but I'm not certain what it could be looking over what I've removed.
