Anyone has noticed lags using Samsung themes? My phone was perfectly smooth on the previous update while using Alliance to theme my rom.

Now that I upgraded it's noticeably much slower and laggier. And the only difference is that I don't have alliance anymore and use Samsung's themes instead.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] vnvman:
Idk man, Alliance gives me reboots whenever I tap a notification, I had to remove the thing
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Nirzhar:
I tried both Arter n Vindicator kernels.. both worked without any issues. Its recommended to use Philz kernel before flashing arter.. Double tap 2 wake works with these 2 kernels
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] donoboy97:
There's a test version going around which fixes the reboot
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] badchip:
Nice, I was looking for a kernel with double tap to wake. Any idea which is better, Arter or vindicator? Are they better than UniKernel (which comes by default with this rom)?

Hello guy's ?

Sorry for stupid question ☺

My device is 920F,

Now , however, after I installed this wonderful rom ..

He tells me that the device is 925K ...

The question is....

I use ArterKernel

Which kernel version should I install..

920F or 925K ?

sorry for my English ??
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] mweis:
U should install what your device is... 920F... U can change the device name with root Explorer in system/build.prop

they both perform the same.. DT2W doesnt work as well as hardware enabled devices like LG .. but it works 60-70% of the time.. I still think Unikernel is more stable

Best to experiment for yourself, but I tried it. I'm unable to track my location in Maps after turning it off.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] BrendenDonaher:
Yeah that's what I thought. Turned mine back on after

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Icoris:
I just tried it again, looks like turning location off google services is the thing that breaks it in maps. Makes sense. since it's linked to Maps. Turning it off in 'android system' seems to be fine for Maps.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] BrendenDonaher:
Hmm ok. Well that's good then. 1/2 ain't bad per se

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] djshotty:
Not really. You just need to switch on the GPS chip when you want to use 'Google Maps', or 'Navigon', or 'Here'. If you're running the XtreStoLite ROM it means you've got root. Because of that, you can use an app. called FasterGPS, from the Free Software For Android developer group. It helps you to configure your gps.conf file, and makes your device's GPS chip find the tracking satellite nearest you much faster. Check it out here...

http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fastergps

Hope that helps...
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Icoris:
will try to play around with the settings,app and app ops and see how it goes, thanks.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] djshotty:
All I'm saying is, turn the GPS chip off when you're not using it. The only reason websites and apps want to know your location is to send you advertising that's relevant to your part of the world. Odd thing how those who complain about short battery life are the ones who've got wi-fi, Bluetooth and GPS going all the time, whilst Facebook / Instagram / Twitter / Candy Crush Saga (and other games) etc constantly trawl the internet for no other reason but to send you the latest advert or a request to spend money on getting past the next game level. Want to increase the battery life of your device? If you're not using the service or playing the game, switch it off!!
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Icoris:
My gps isnt on unless I use maps. Thanks for the suggestion.

What app are you all using to make these settings
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Nirzhar:
So, you just turned off location for some apps using that module.. that's it? I always have location turned off.. will it make any difference for me?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Santi3598:
How can I turn the GPS chip off?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] anrchy666:
Just turn off location in privacy settings.

I've searched this thread to find if there's a way to increase the MMS limit for a photo in the stock messaging app but couldn't find any. I didn't see any mod for such a thing in the Aroma add-on package. TIA
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
GPS is not used for your location when it comes to delivering adverts or when the browser wants to know where you are. In this situations it gets your location based on the cell tower you're connected to and sometimes the wifi points it can detect.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] llapao:
Sorry but I don't think so :)

In fact I find it more practical to just turn off "Location" using the drop down shortcuts from the taskbar rather having the location disabled per app. As someone mentioned Google Maps isn't able to accurately find the correct location if the above settings are used.

And since I don't care about remotely find my location... Its turned off. I just need it for GPS while driving and I know my home town very well so no need to toggle it on very often.

The best tip as someone also mentioned is like you did, just turn off gps/location :)
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] kendall1004:
Finally, some words of wisdom in this thread-

i don't understand the multitasking hype and why people let apps run in background instead of just closing them when they don't use them...

our RAM management is bad enough as it is, no need to push it any further when an idle device uses >50% RAM all the time :o
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] djshotty:
Partly true. 'Location Services' - which actually DOES use the GPS chip to determine where you are - helps the web browser and other apps tailor adverts to you. When you use a map program (Here/Navigon/Google Maps) they use HSDPA or 4G when you search for an address, then the device calculates the distance from your exact location - determined by the GPS chip - to your destination. It then displays the shortest route on a map that needed your service provider's mobile data (via HSDPA or 4G) or a wi-fi connection to download.

One way to stop those games and apps from annoying you is to go into Settings->Sounds and notifications->App notifications, then for each individual app, you block Notifications and block them from the Home screen. If you're rooted, you can also install a service killer app. to stop their incessant annoyances...
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
What?

Yes location services can use the GPS chip but it does not use it for just getting a rough idea of your location which is what adverts use. Not even sure why you bothered with the very strange description of how a satnav works. If nothing else HERE does not require an internet connection as it has an offline mode. They will work over ANY mobile data connection be it GPRS, 2G, 3G, Edge, HSDPA, HSDPA+, 4G, LTE, LTE+ etc etc.

Appops xposed module

920-I, xtrestolite 2.4 rom, unikernel,xposed.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] djshotty:
How do you think the actual installer *.apk gets to your device? You have at some point accessed the internet to download that file. Also, to use the app. in 'Offline mode', HERE has still used some form of internet connection to download and install the map it displays on your device. The map for Europe is a file just shy of 10GB in size, the map for North+Central America is over 7GB, Asia's is over 9GB. This is why the developers of HERE suggest you grab the map for your region over a wi-fi connection to an internet service such as ADSL2+, fibre to the node, fibre to the premises or fixed wireless. 'Offline mode' merely refers to the ability to use HERE without needing to download the map for your region over your telephone service provider's mobile broadband internet connection. If you want the app. to tell you 'Turn Left now' or 'Turn Right now', you still need to have your GPS chip running so the app. knows where your device is actually located. It then refers that latitude and longitude data to the map you already have in your device's storage, and updates your location on the screen while you're on the move. If you haven't got the full map in your device, you cannot use 'Offline mode' because the app. needs to download - via your mobile broadband connection - the sections of the map it needs to be able to display your location on the screen.

What do you think those mobile data connections are, muppet? It's how your device accesses THE INTERNET when it's not hooked up to a wi-fi connection! :eek:
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Nirzhar:
Is there any way to use "Screen off fingerprint unlock" like OnePlus 2 and Nexus 6P ???
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] djshotty:
Not actually running this ROM right now, but last time I had it installed 'Fingerprint Unlock' worked for me like this:

Go into the Settings menu, then into the 'Lock screen and security' settings, and change the 'Screen lock type' to Fingerprints. You then register your fingerprint by tapping on the Home key (with the same finger) until the device stores the print. Next time your screen automatically switches to sleep, you have to press the Home key once, then using the same finger you registered in Setup, touch the Home key until the device 'matches' that touch with what it has stored.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
What has downloading an app got to do with how satnav apps work out your route which is what YOU were talking about? And what has HERE requiring an internet connection to download maps got to do with it NOT REQUIRING AN INTERNET CONNECTION TO WORK AS A SATNAV? And how the hell do you get from talking about internet connections to using the GPS? Will also point out that technically you do not need an internet connection on your phone to install apps as you can just sideload them. You are giving people advice based upon either a lack of understanding or on a misunderstanding.

As I said in my now deleted post I wont be responding as this is going seriously OT.

I've been using fingerprints with 4 fingers since day 1.. But in S6, u need the screen to be ON to use fingerprint & unlock the phone.. OP2 and Nexus 6P's fingerprint reader works when the screen is OFF.. I was asking is there any Kernel or ROM that can make that happen like the DoubleTap2Wake feature
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
You can just press the home button to turn the screen on and so long as you are using one of the fingers you have programmed it will unlock at same time.

Well I switched the default messaging app to Google Messenger and now it looks like the photo attachment gets converted down to as large as 1mb, so the quality is a lot better than the 256mb limit I was getting for using the stock messaging app. So I'm not sure if the size limit is dependent on the app or the carrier.

So after digging around. I think I will try this rom out. However I do have a couple questions. Just got my S6 today, Its on 5.0.2. Now I am reading that if I go 5.1.1 stuff... I wont be able to use anything but stock kernel? Least according to the current bootloader list from the first post link? This rom says its 5.1.1 with a custom uni kernel? So I am a lil confused here at what I should be doing to get everything in motion. Was debating on doing this 1st.

http://androiding.how/root-t-mobile-s6-and-s6-edge-on-5-1-1-without-tripping-knox-counter/

Which claims to avoid tripping knox. Then flashing over to this? Or should I be sticking on 5.0.2 or something?

Been looking for more a starting point to focus on.. least 1 step is down, I know which rom I want. I already have Odin ready as well.

Btw does this rom support cifs drive mounting support and custom wifi tethering to change the mac id?

Edit: Oh boy, if the uni kernel has a change log saying cifs fixed.. and this rom installs it. Woot!

Also I dont have the Edge. Was going to use this?

I have a bluetooth issue. I pair it with my car and after a little while the phone looses the BT pairing to my car (a 2013 genesis sedan).

This is not ROM or phone related. This is my second S6, and the problem existed on the stock rom, before rooting, and after installing this rom. Before this phone, I had a S3, HTC OneM8, a Nexus 6, an Xperia and they worked fine with my car's BT.

Maybe this is the wrong place to ask for advice on this since it is not a ROM-related issue, but I thought I start here first. Since I don't know when it happens, I can't even run a logcat because I don't know when the pairing is lost in my phone. Maybe someone knows of a way to backup the BT pairing?

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Meth0d:
In my experience this is often more a problem on the cars side especially with newer BT standards (phones).

On my KIA ceed GT the S6 as my older N5 work very well, where for example VW always has ****ty systems and causes problems.

Current gen VW Golfs and Phaetons have problems pairing with the S6 and even older BlackBerrys.

Not much you can do if you cant even get a pair besides trying to maybe get an update for the entertainment system.

You can do that urself sometimes (for KIA you can update the nav/mm-system via usbkey), im not sure if that applies to your car however.

Got some crappy stuff going on in Real Life but found an hour the other day to tidy this up. Its been almost ready for ages. Will update thread later. Public beta for now.

Changes:

Added info bar in drop down for battery, cpu and temps. Need to fix the temp though as it reads incorrectly at the moment.

Lots of changes to AllianceControl from the guys. Autostart management, enable/disable (freeze/defrost) apps, hatchet which you can use on first boot to clean bloatware, examples of animations and other stuff

Works on COI9 2.4 Xtrestolite and probably others too but you will have to tell me.

Ok guys I have a weird problem. I tried searching for it here and on google, but cant get a solution.

The problem is with the Gmail app. I also have a rooted Nexus 5 with a custom rom etc, and my GS6 has Xtrestolite 2.3. I have my hotmail account set up on both. The problem is that I am missing certain options on my Gmail app on S6 while in my Hotmail account options . These options are:

1- Sync Frequency - Push.

The only options that show up are Never, 15 minutes, 30 minutes and Every Hour. There is no Push option.

2- Individual Folder Sync options

On my nexus 5, I get the option to choose individual folders to sync including Sent and Junk. Not on my S6.

3- Duration of email Sync

Im not getting the option to decide and choose the sync duration of 1 month, 2 weeks or 1 week.

I used to have these problems on my Nexus 5 too on different roms. So Im inclined to think that it might have something to do with the Rom? Not sure though. Any help would be nice.

I went back to the T-Mobile stock software (version Ol1) and it works perfectly. I tried backing up the stock GearVR/Oculus related apps and services using Titanium Backup Pro and restoring them on this ROM and it still doesn' work :(
