Its recommended to do a clean flash, but you can get away with a dirty flash if you're lucky :p

Alright, I did a clean flash from 3.2 to 3.3.1, including updated bootloader and modem. Now Google play services and chrome keep stopping/crashing.. What would be the cause of this? Anyone come across this? Clearing cache/data doesn't work..

Edit: Temporary fix by going to Settings- Application - Application Manager- More- Change system settings and disabling Google Play Services seems to do the job. Don't know if this breaks anything though.

Edit: Darn it, started crashing again

G920A

My S6 model is G920A.

I got to this page from androidexplained.com via a 920A roms, but I cant find this model in the supported models list here.

So, Is this rom supports the 920A ?

Just sharing my experience. I solve my problem in my s6 g920f 3.3.1 (battery drain cause by android os and android system) but doing a dirty flash (wipe cache,dalvik,system) while battery is very low. Once phone rebooted, i wait till under 10% and fully charge without interruption. Plug off then reboot. Then replug in the charger and reboot. Wait till full then unplug again.

I cant confirm if this is a solution, but it's worth to try.

Today i managed to get 4 hour SOT and almost 3 hours 3g voice call. Unlike before, only 3-4 hour SOT (even after clean flash). Will reconfirm battery life tomorrow.

Hope it helps.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Hornychief:
Hey guys, awesome ROM. Now with the update, do you dirty flash or start a new??

I have terrible battery drain from the OS, like 32% just idling so hoping this 3.3.1 will fix it.

Thank you so much for confirming, I thought that my S6 is defective.. Brightness level is too less on Marshmallow
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] ffaaiissaall:
Why brightness level is low as compared to lollipop 5.1.1 (v2.4 mod edition)

I v installed v 3.3.1 in my galaxy s6 920F..on my wife,s galaxy s6 920F v w.4 deodex mod edition is installed(lollipop version)

i compared both on full brightness today..there is a clear difference in clarity and brightness of display...can we have lollipop like brightness in v 3.3.1????
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Kiid:
Finally fixed the Google Play Services FC in 3.3.1. By reverting back to Google Play Services build 8.7.03.. The same version included in v3.2.

Build 9.0.83 (included in 3.3.1) causes the FC, must be buggy
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] ffaaiissaall:
No reply.plz help..i want to remain on marshmallow but this low brightness is teasing me alot...outdoor option has too much high which is irritating to eyes
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] VIVAS700:
How did you revert to the old one?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Kiid:
I clean installed 3.2 (after doing backups of my apps with titanium since I was already on 3.3.1), backed up Google play services 8.7.03(apk only!) , created an update.zip of GPS with titanium, flashed back to 3.3.1, uninstalled GPS 9.0 with titanium, booted to recovery and flashed the update.zip.. It's a long process, I know but it's the only way I could figure out to revert back since 3.3.1 automatically comes with the updated Google play services apk. Trying to restore the back

Up with titanium always ended up hanging on "restoring" so the update.zip method is the only way to do it.

Edit: don't forget to turn off auto updates in the playstore! Playstore will auto update to 9.0.83 and end up Crashing again.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Shark5060:
Are you using Amplify and have limited "icing" by any chance?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Kiid:
Yes I did have amplify with icing limited but also did a trial without amplify or anything xposed related installed after a clean install and still got FC with Google play services.. So I don't think amplify was responsible for the crashes.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] benyben123:
Noob warning :(

Anyone might help me understand why even after flashing this rom (which is awesome!) I am still seeing the boot up screen of the previous rom (which was installed by the previous owner)?

Here's a video:

https://vid.me/oceh

and here's the rom:
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] ryan42680:
Man, you need a clean flash, always do this to prevent issues and bugs.

good luck
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] benyben123:
Thanks. I did do a clean flash as far as I can tell.

You mean wipe all data including internal memory?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] KennethHau:
You can just flash another boot logo. find a stock Samsung bootlogo and flash it through twrp
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Kiid:
I have no clue why the boot animation wasn't over written by the rom installation, but wiping the system partition in recovery then dirty flashing the rom will most likely get rid of it.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] benyben123:
Thank you. Let's see.

Which one of these do I need to choose (wipe) to do a clean flash?

1 Delvik / art cache

2 system

3 data

4 internal storage

5 cache

6 sbfs

thanks so much!
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] ryan42680:
you don't have to wipe internal memory.

go to twrp:

wipe----format data and type yes----then advanced wipe and check everything but internal memory----swipe to confirm.

flash the rom and you are good to go.

but remember to copy the rom.zip on your internal memory.

good luck :)
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] ffaaiissaall:
How to get back original lollipop brightness to marshmallow.plz dev guide us
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] benyben123:
Thank you!!! Doing this now. Copy the rom to where??
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Kiid:
Woah, doesn't "format data" state that internal memory (photos, music, files) will also get wiped.? Shouldn't Advanced wipe>and checking system be the only requirement for a dirty flash?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Shark5060:
okay alright, thought it might be related because in the xteme battery saving thread people started reporting FC on all Gapps with icing and LocationManager limited. But since you already tried without I suppose you have a different problem.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Kiid:
Do not follow the instructions! You'll end up having to sideload the rom. Copy the rom to internal memory, reboot to recovery, go to wipe- advanced wipe- check "system" - wipe and then dirty flash the rom. Do not "format data"
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] benyben123:
Thanks Kiid. You were right! I am indeed using adb method now to push the file to my totally clean phone (:

It's always good to double check. Good thing I am invested in the cloud :D
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] ryan42680:
format data may wipe internal but will do no harm to the phone, i always format data before flashing and i experience fewer bugs than others
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] benyben123:
Guess what guys?

Even after doing full wipe (full!), the aTerminator logo (https://vid.me/oceh) is still showing (even witout OS).

I know this since I did a reboot and TWRP warned me there is not OS installed.

Wanted to make sure this aTerminator is gone so did reboot - and it's stil there!!!

WTH? :confused:
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] ryan42680:
well, only one thing left, since your phone is fully cleaned, remade everything you done and flash official firmware and then wipe everything except internal, then flash the rom
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] benyben123:
Ohhh! Firmware! Firmware contains boot image?

You mean using ODIN and official MM firmware?

Thanks so much for your help friend!!!

I took this pic prior to the full wipe.

Can you see the firmware here?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Kiid:
Did a bit of reading, I think you have a custom kernel with a custom boot logo. Try flashing another kernel. I'd recommend Arters kernel.

Question : is the terminator the first thing you see when you start your phone or "galaxy s6"? If you see the terminator first then you definitely have a custom kernel, and flashing stock kernel from the aroma will change it back to" galaxy-s6"
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] benyben123:
Man you are awesome!! Many have tried figuring this out with no avail.

WTH is a kernel??? Should I flash stock kernel or go with the one you suggested? And where can I find the kernel?

Again - thanks so much!!!
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] ryan42680:
Naaah arter97 kernel is still on beta (not stable). use stock from 3.3.1 is good. and i don't think it's kernel related because he did a clean flash with 3.3.1 that contains stock rom !

And yes flash with odin.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Kiid:
What model S6 do you have? I'll point you in the right direction, just need the model.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] benyben123:
Thanks man. I am all over this (I have like 50 tabs open on Firefox right now :D

I tried flashing using ODIN the following file:

G920FXXU1AOCV_G920FH3G1AOC1_G920FXXU1AOCW_HOME.tar

getting error:

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] ryan42680:
you flashed 5.0.2 rom !

you can't do that, download this one http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/70605/G920FXXU3DPDP_G920FOXA3DPDP_XEF/

and flash it through odin ! this will work fine don't worry my friend

after flashing it look on boot logo if it changed.

then flash xtrestolite 3.3.1 and select re-flash g920f stock rom on addons zip

good luck
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] ayush_01:
If it's the very first thing you see when you power on the device, then it's the splash screen. And splash screen has nothing to do with the Rom installed. aTerminator rom must have changed the splash screen. You can change that back. Full wipe doesn't wipe the splash screen(from my experience. I changed my splash screen when I was on lollipop, it's still the same after I did a full wipe to install MM).
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] benyben123:
OMG! How did you figure this out??? I have been on this for like a day now!

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] silashack:
This is because the files are stored in the system partition and the 'wipes' described do NOT clean them out, I had the same issues with modified sounds in the media folder, to remove that animation you WILL need to wipe the system and use the sideload method
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] ryan42680:

Just wanted to add a tip in case it helps someone, my battery usage has been ok, not great though. Just over 3 hours sot on a charge. However earlier today I checked my battery stats. Google play services was very high so I went into data, and disabled background data on the Google play services app. It's basically dropped off my battery chart. I also went into Gsm battery monitor and noticed Wi-Fi radio was on. I had Wi-Fi switched off but there is another option to allow Wi-Fi scanning for location accuracy. This had been on all the time! Since I've turned it off I have almost two hours sot with 50% left! That is with constantly on mobile data which I know is harder on the battery. I also only switched off those other things at lunch so I'd imagine a fresh charge would mean more! I use, greenify, amplify and smart network as well. Just in case it helps anyone out.

Is the kernel not being changed when one flashes to XtreStolite?

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] benyben123:
Hi Wickii. Thanks for the info. This is new to me since lots of info was brought up.

In any case, do you happen to know if there is a stock one?

PS - I still don't understand how does flashing firmware and wiping everything doesn't deal with this. I thought this was supposed to totally obliterate EVERYTHING on the phone.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Wickii:
It's a special location which is not effected from flashing a firmware or wiping. Maybe affected from a 4-parts firmware, I don't know.

I also don't know if there is a stock logo. Search the thread for that. Maybe someone who has not changed the logo is so kind to upload the stock one. Mine is changed too.

heey again, sorry wasn't there.

Hi, I'm currently rooted and running XtreStoLite 5.1.1 and I want to update to Marshmallow. Do I just have to install the Marshmallow bootloader, modem and install a new custom recovery before flashing the new rom? Or do I have to unroot, download the OTA update, reroot and do all those steps?

I thought about selling my S7 and buy a S6 or S6 Edge to have this Rom again

Or can you do anything for people like me with Galaxy S7 that would have a absolutely clean System like AOSP with all features we like and nothing Bullsh** ?

That would be very nice

I searched for Scripts that debloat, but all Scripts i found delete all Android with Theme Manager, Samsung Galaxy AppStore, Billing, those Apps that are really needed for a good TouchWiz Rom :(
