are there any kind of known issues i should be aware of b4 installing that rom?

also is there a detailed guide on how to install that rom step by step ?

i just forgot everything about rom installations because its been a long time since i flashed a ROM

beside that how long you are with that rom ? and how you enjoy it ?

do you have the need to use a different browser or you use stock/chrome?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] jah2110:
sure mate! See post #1 the op invert a lot of time doing a detail guide to install this rom. And yes, is the best rom for S6 and very customizable with alliance framework.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] mrbelle93:
Hi guys, I install the rom now, and confirm to you that the knox was intact. So if you have only the root with "ping pong root", you can install the rom by using Flashfire without altering knox.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] eldode:
Could u please write down steps how to flash it without affecting knox

My device is 920F stock without root
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] edgarf28:
That's not possible.

You need to be on an deodexed rom for those mods.

Hi Edgar, I would like to check my camera sensor version, but *#34971539# doens't seem to be working, I get an error. Do I have to flash any add-on from aroma package?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] edgarf28:
Yes, I did the same yesterday on my rom.

You need to flash the Samsung test applications addon.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Thijssie909:
Thanks, it worked, got Sony sensor. :D

Hi guys, I am running into a problem when I want to enable Tasker or any other service in Accessibility services. If I want to turn one on I cannot press the 'turn on' option, nothing happens. More people experiencing this? Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] edgarf28:
Install Google TTS from the play store or the Samsung TTS add-on from the aroma add-on package. And setup an TTS language under Settings -> Language and input.

Then it should work.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Thijssie909:
Installed both but still the same problem. Strange thing is it wants something with Talkback...
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] edgarf28:
Strange, installing Google/Samsung TTS fixed it for me.

Maybe Tasker needs also Google TalkBack to be installed.

You can download TalkBack from the play store.

When I disable Heads Up Notifications in Alliance Control, they don't get disabled. Anyone know how to fix this?

Edit: While the disable option doesn't seem to work, you can simply blacklist the Apps you don't want header notifications from, and that works. So you can essentially just blacklist every app if you don't like these notifications
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Rapufro:
Just blacklist the apps
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] sublimaze:
I agree, the lag/jerkiness is not because of the framework.

Just to make sure I wasn't imagining it, I did back-to-back experiments with v1.4a and v1.5 on my G920T. Both were "standard" installations with the default kernels. I clean flashed (including mounting & wiping /system), selected all options on the Tweaks menu, default kernel, stock framework. During phone setup wizard, I setup each rom as a new device and restored nothing from previous devices. I installed Gmail, Root Explorer, SuperSU Pro and TiBU directly from the Play store, as well as a BMI Calculator, Cheezburger, Slickdeals (these apps have sliding hamburger menus), restored the same android device ID on both roms, installed AdAway from internal storage, disabled all window transition and animator scales and forced GPU rendering (in Dev options), cleared recent apps, and rebooted. So essentially a bare-bones rom installation with 7 apps from the Play store.

The result? On v1.5, I get lag in all apps with sliding hamburger menus. However, v1.4 is fluid.

Unless I am overlooking something, there are 3 possible sources for the discrepancy:

1. Kernel

2. Build.prop DHA/LMK edits

2. Firmware base

I did not compare GPS, audio or call quality between roms. I simply wanted to verify for myself whether the UI lag/jerkiness was real or imagined.

Keep in mind these are the findings of ONE user on ONE device. YMMV as always.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mushoz:
Very good job on running those objective tests! Very interesting results. I'm sticking to 1.4 for now. Could you perhaps try the same test one more time with the stock kernel? I have a feeling the costum kernel is the culprit. Thank you very much in advance!
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] sahandv1989:
installed v 1.5 in setting when touching wallpaper settings app force closes and either help in the settings. in touchwiz when you touch and hold to change wallpaper when you touch wallpaper nothing happens
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] sublimaze:
Both setups were using the standard/stock kernel that came with the rom, on default kernel settings, with no extra tweaks to boost performance in any way.

Edit: I just realized you were probably referring to the unmodified, untouched stock Samsung kernel. I will try to do that today, if I have time. I am at work and it is about to get busy :mad:
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mushoz:
With stock kernel I meant the stock Samsung kernel. AFAIK, 1.4's default kernel is the stock Samsung kernel, while 1.5's default kernel is a custom one. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] dakalter:
I just flashed vindicated v3 kernel for the tmo varient and the scrolling is way better. Idk if it's from clearing dalvik/cache so we will see over time.

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

Aannnd nvm it seems it was more placebo or from wiping cache. Back to stutter. Not horrible but def noticeable. Speed overall is very fast and snappy and rom is very stable however and I am happy to keep running it.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] rm501:
I'm using the latest SimplKerkel (RXF) with this ROM and not getting any lag or stuttering, everything smooth

Hi

Here is the link: [TW][5.0.x][G925F/T/I/W8][16. June][Synapse] SimplKernel

Although I should have mentioned I'm using an Edge.

There seems to be a version for normal S6: [TW][5.0.x][G920F/I][02. June][R1F]SimplKernel

But of course, I cannot comment on this.

Hope it helps

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] lampz:
My s6 is locked to some local mobile provider. Will this rom unlock the sim compatibility?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] sublimaze:
I saw that option in Aroma, which is different than the AdAway app that I use. I prefer the AdAway app because:

1. AdAway keeps a backup of the original stock hosts file, so if you ever need it, its just one click & reboot away. No pulling a stock hosts file from a nandroid or rom zip.

2. AdAway merges the latest hosts file additions from multiple sources, which are usually updated every day or every other day. No adblocking hosts file offered by a custom rom will be as up-to-date as AdAway.

3. AdAway blocks damn near everything. AdAway has one purpose, which it does extremely well. I have used AdAway for over 2 years, and I've seen maybe 3-4 ads inside apps during that time. I can't even remember the last time I saw ads in my web browser :cool:

There are two T-Mobile APNS. One is epc.tmobile.com which is the regular APN and the other is Fast.tmobile.com which is supposed to be for LTE capable devices.

Afaik when you flash this rom it only has epc.tmobile.com listed in the APNs (was the case for me) so you might want to add the LTE specific apn if you notice any difference in performance.

Is this rom installing and lose warranty for?im still debating what to do...i know my current stock rom runs very bad and im not sure what to do
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] xypicur:
Thanks it works well, only thing i have noticed is the crash of the phone app after power on, but second time the phone app loads perfectly, and I don't have problems with it.

Thanks again your work. Can you PM me what application did you use to make this fix? Or how did you figured out how to solve this problem? Couse I want to make a fix too but I usually get some problems.

Anytime you do a clean install do people wait an extra 5 minutes to let the system settle when they reach the welcome screen?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] nerdgenius:
I have the G920A so this is the first version to actually work on the at&t variant. I did try 1.4(yea I know calling doesn't work) and it was much smoother. It also have option for different kernels. This one seems to have a custom kernel. Is there anyway we can get the stock Samsung kernel or even have a choice? I love the ROM.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] timde9:
No voided warranty!

Just wanted to point out that I flashed this with flashfire on my g920a AT&T Galaxy s6 and my warranty bit is still 0x0! Might possibly work on other variants as well. I thought for sure it would trip knox because of the custom kernel but I guess not!

Also wanted to give some advice for flashfire users, first of all, and I AM NOT joking, do not do this if you are epileptic or prone to seizure. The screen will flash ALOT! I hope this gets fixed soon. Besides that I just wanted to point out that the best way to do it is in one flashfire transaction. Choose both zips for the ROM and the addon pack and a setup a wipe in that order before choosing "flash". So flash the rom first then at the end of aroma untick "reboot now" so that flashfire will continue on to the addon pack then again untick "reboot now" once your done so it will finish with a wipe.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] barondebxl:
Its always recommend but not required.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Vinzie:
I just took the original zip file [MENTION=693309]edgarf28[/MENTION] made to fix this issue and added some files which are present in the last 920f firmware but are missing in this rom v1.5. The installation script just copies everything to the device's system folder.

I get the phone app crash too, but after the fc the app starts correctly, so I'm not investigating any further. Perhaps I included some unneeded files. Feel free to remove some files to see if it solves the phone app fc. I used 7zip to add files. If you succeed please share your fix here..:)

Perhaps [MENTION=693309]edgarf28[/MENTION] can include the missing files into his next release (without the phone app fc)
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Gilgafish:
I booted up after flashing the rom and checked all the things i needed from the add-on.

Then flashed the add-on and chose everything I needed. Using the unikernel provided with the latest rom.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] -JFK-:
Just want to say thank you to all dev's involved in this ROM (1.5), kernel and add-on. Everything work perfectly.

Nothing to add.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] kn0s:
Interesting, sure you didn't install stock kernel?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] edgarf28:
Yep, but this works ONLY on the AT&T model right now with current release.

Because v.1.5 of my ROM doesn't flash any kernel on the AT&T model, so that you keep your current stock kernel.

That's why KNOX doesn't get triggered on the AT&T models.

I will look If I can add an option in the ROM installer with the next update to flash no kernel, so that you can keep your warranty with every model when you flash my ROM (Only if you doesn't have triggered your KNOX counter yet of course..)
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] edgarf28:
On the AT&T model my ROM won't flash any kernel, so that it keeps your current stock kernel.

The UniKernel custom kernel gets flashed on all the other supported models.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] sublimaze:
That is not necessary. Once the phone determines your correct location & language, you are good to go.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] jakir01:
Is there any solution for the mobile network icon on statusbar. Its showing no network but there is network i can call even use my data also.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] King p1n:
Thanks for the clarifciation.

Considering S6 but hearing about Bad S6 Battery life but people using this rom seem to be getting good life.

So would using the stock kernal mean worse battery life than KT's kernal?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] sublimaze:
Possibly, but not significantly. Try both and see which one is better for you.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] King p1n:
If I did get an S6, I think id rather keep my warranty for a while. So I'd probably stick to stock unless someone found their way to flash non stock kernels without tripping knox.

Thanks for your response though!

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] pp085ster:
Any chance of deleting something inside aroma so that it omits flashing the kernel?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] lgsshedden:
Don't understand this paranoia with Knox and the warranty. Anyone who has ever tried to get Samsung or Bell to stand behind their warranty will know that,while the product is great, the customer service is very poor. Simply put: the warranty is worth far less than presumed. Manufacturer blames carrier, carrier blames manufacturer -- either way the phone does not fixed under warranty anyways. I say this after a history with multiple Galaxy phones s1, s2, s3, s4 and now s6. Worst was the s2, most robust, hardest to brick the s1, s4 was a great phone except for the no-SIM card recurring issue (in 2 of the 3 we had) and now I love the s6.

Your decision is to stay stock + hope, or to root, customize and optimize the phone not caring about warranty or Knox but solely whether or not the developer is good, responsive and the ROM, kernel, root tool and/or custom recovery work as advertised.

iBstid4 was awesome for the s4, thus far edgarf28 has stepped up and is providing an excellent ROM for the s6.

Make the ROM responsive, with good battery and reasonably customizable. Easy to update and upgrade is good. Hard to ***k up is a bonus. Same for the kernel.

Appreciation for all the work and continuing effort.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] xypicur:
I deleted all of the included apps. And it works. Than I reinstalled everything and I deleted all oft the apps you have included in your fix. No phone crash and sview works. So the only thing what was wrong is the premission files.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] edgarf28:
Thanks for this! I will add the missing s-view xml file to the next update of the ROM, so that S-view works out of the box.

Hello,

Thank you for the wonderful ROM.

I have a small request. Is it possible to create a small zip file for the lock screen options (including finger print), instead of downloading the whole 819 MB addons zip?

Hate this rom

1.4 was awesome. It worked perfectly. 1.5 freezes randomly because of memory issues. I had my phone lockup enough times to make the people I'm with talk about how great apple is because it just works unlike (I'm really sorry) this crapped release. Edgar28 u are one of the best devs on here don't take offense.. I am so pissed because I drove nearly 50k out of my way due to the constant crashing. Had to revert to 1.4 for working phone. Hope 1.6 is better and awesome like 1.4.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Alarand:
Assuming you're using a supported phone, it sounds like the problems you are having aren't due to the rom.

1.5 is working completely fine for me and a lot of others so saying it's a crap release is kind of unfair in my opinion. :/

Granted having any rom spaz out when you're relying on your phone for navigation is annoying, I wouldn't be so quick to say the rom is broken without at least troubleshooting a bit.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] tarpek:
Wow

Did clean install over 1.4. Wipe everything. Works like a charm. ?

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] daffie:
I'm afraid this will always be part&parcel of your decision to root your phone and install a custom rom. A little unfair therefore to call the rom a 'crapped release' :eek: Although you don't mean it as a personal attack on the dev. Lots of people are using v1.5 and it's working perfectly (on my S6 as well).

Hopefully a new release will again work fine on your phone as well :good:
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Dim12:
Hey !

Version 1.5 looks awesome and works fine after a factory reset and a clean reinstall.

I have just a small problem, i can't change lockscreen wallpaper, "wallpaper" in settings is FC every time i try to open it. I have no problem changing my nova wallpaper btw.

Could you give me a solution please ?

I flashed this rom yesterday with stock framework. I ran into this issue though with openvpn connect saying that it's not working due to an android bug. I did enable vpn support in the rom but I don't think that was necessary though for openvpn (not sure).

On stock rom this worked as well as on alliance rom. Any pointers to what this is concerned about? I tried googling but the source of the issue isn't really clear to me.

Hi.

Thanks for your work, [MENTION=693309]edgarf28[/MENTION].

I've installed your ROM on my G920FD (Dual Sim) but unfortunately Sim Card manager doesn't work for me - I'm getting FC and "Unfortunately, SIM card manager has stopped".

Of course I've installed STK with Addon.

Any chance of making it work on my device?

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: Just realised that forgot to flash modem and bootloader (I was on stock G920FXXU1AODE before flashing your ROM). May it be the reason?

I chose the ad block setting when installing the rom. Works fine, but I found out that using the Adaway app it will block (more) ads within Flipboard. I assume can use both ad blockers side by side? If I want/need to remove the ad block service in the rom where can I find it?
