[Galaxy S6 Android Development] cdx47:
WiFi on always but I don't allow Google to do offline WiFi scan.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] darklime:
I used to leave wifi and data on but it was wasting too much battery. I only apply it when I need it and I can get like 3 days 3 Hrs SoT battery. It's ok cuz I don't obsessively use my phone. It's just nice not having to turn on data every two seconds but that's just a first world issue. People say they get 4-5 hrs SoT with a day's use but I have yet to see that.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] cdx47:
I got 24 hours in total, 4 hours screen time yesterday with Wifi on and 1.5 hours of 4g.

I need your advice.

Hi mates from xda.

i´m from argentina, so i really sorry if my english is not the best.

i have a consult for you. I want to install a xtresolite rom in my samsung s6 stock.

I have read a lot of articles and everybody talk so good about that rom. I think that is the best choice.

But, it´s difficult for me to choose between the deodexed or the odexed pure edition.

My priorities are the battery life, the speed and the stability.

Which of those rom, recommend me?

Thank you guys.

I will really apreciate your answer.

We Keep in touch
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] jah2110:
first you have to now what is deodexed and odexed, Google can teach you very easy, then you can choose what is better for you, battery life are the same in both roms, always odexed us faster then deodexed. You have a lot of tutorials to install a rom. Good luck
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Darktitor:
Deodexed is for modding things in the rom. It's more easy to make modifications on Deodexed rom.

Odexed rom are made to give you best stability and speed.

About battery life, after tried both, it's the same for me

This rom is awesome, but since migrating to this from my stock att s6 edge rom, i have been getting a weird wakelock called "lli_pm_wlock". Has anyone else experienced this wakelock or know what it is?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] rm501:
+1 I get this too. Haven't yet figured out how to stop it.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] robikonobi:
Good to know that i am not the only one. I never got this lli_pm_wlock wakelock with the stock att s6 edge rom.

[MENTION=693309]edgarf28[/MENTION] - thank you for this awesome rom. Any idea what this wakelock might be and how to eliminate it?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] barondebxl:
I do. I never turn data completely off, im either on wifi or cellular data always. Its the standby time that this rom has really improved. Also, using the phone on wifi sometimes I see the phone stuck on a percentage for awhile before dropping, to the point that I think something is wrong but no, its just great battery life.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Faisal_RK:
iTs humble Request...

Dev... plz this amazing rom Make for Galaxy frand 2 sm7012 because no any single ...Dev not work for galaxy grand 2 for serving a lollipop rom ... plz itshumble rqst ... one time to check ..if ot possible then make plzz ..and giving a full hd interace UI ...whether Rom size thats not matter but UI is matter.....and 1 thing more who all developers has fail to reduce a white text bugs and Loud speaker bugs ..who work for grand 2 ...sm7102.. plz check it....
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Henz77:
Lol i find it very funny.

I think we should all know that asking for ETA is strictly forbidden. Lest aside asking to make a ROM for other device that is not supposed to be here in this section of s6 and especially this thread.

You can make petition for specific Device if you want. Or make it PM.

No hard feeling dude. But i think its not a nice idea asking it here.

Cheers ;)
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Faisal_RK:
Dude I know.. but... no any one make a stable. Rom for grand 2 ... and m new on XDA ...so ...

Feeling sad....
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] exxi:
The s6 is a horrible phone. That's my conclusion after using it for 3 months now. I've exchanged 3 devices and the problems remain

- dropped calls and reception problems (no matter which rom, kernel, modem)

- slow wifi and slow data at times for no good reason

- intermittent sluggish performance and lags

- days with good and absolutely abisimal battery life.

It's an inconsistent and buggy device that's not ready for prime time.

I am really disappointed because I wanted to like phone.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Henz77:
Hi there. I am sorry for your case.

But i am quite disagree here.

I am always using 1 ios 1 android n 1 blackberry (lol)

I am using ip6+ now and the battery is really good.

My previous android is m8. After long test n so on. Finally i move to s6. Well really the battery is really really bad. Maybe bad is not a great word. Maybe i cam say its the worst.

Heavy usage i can only maxed out 3 hours of usage before it depleted to 5 percent from full charge. Lol i tried factory reset and so on. It improved only by max 1 hours which is suck.

I was about to return the s6 back then. But why didnt i try custom rom.

I arrived for the odexed extro and i found that my device is drastically improved. I could get like full 8 am and drained at 3pm which is better than ip6+ and m8 with heavy usage.

I decided to try this deodexed one and its better not by far.

Currently i am still on 1.4 and i am good to go from morning 8 am and it still got some juices when i get back home at 8pm that left me below 10 percent.

I got 6 emails and 4 of them contantly receiving message. Line groud which always more than 1k chat every day( i dunno what r they talking about lol)

Whatsapp. Bbm. Viber. Instagram. Camera. Music. Gaming. Constant browsing. And its all good

I am mostly using wifi though about6 to 8 hours.

But i still think its very great. Got no lag and so on.

The only thing i dont like about my s6 is. My friends s6 got sharper image n a bit brighter tham mine -.- maybe he has sony one. But when i put side by side and try the camera. Its obviously visible and its not slight, its huge.....

Thats from me Dude

Cheers
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] bu2askoor:
Hey all. I tried this Rom few days ago and even though I did full wipe, I got so many errors and crashes at the initial setup screen when I boot fit the first time. I got them before even flashing the add on Rom.

Can anyone share with any tips on how to avoid those crashes and errors?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Kjc99:
Flash the rom.... Then flash the add-on... Don't flash rom boot up then enter recovery and flash add on..... I always wipe cache and dalvik after I flash.....
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] twinh3ad:
I feel you bro. Honestly I'm still struggling to force myself to love my S6. No matter what kernel I'm on, no matter how much OC and tweaks I put on, it's still feel not that fast. Even my Note 3 with no App Ops, no Greenify, no tweaks works better. RAM management is too bad in S6. It constantly killing background apps. I still want to stay with my S6 and hoping one day there will be much better firmware.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] jemeljsh:
This is the only flaw that I also can't get really get used to - the fact that it has enough RAM but it still kills the app and reloads it every time :mad: and it does not matter whether you have opened 20 or 2 apps.. It would make sense to freeze/kill-em if it runs out of ram, but why do so if it still has 1gb left confuses me..
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] sublimaze:
Sorry you had such a bad experience with 3 phones.

I've never had a single dropped call or reception problems (and I don't use wifi calling). I suspect your connection problems were due the network in your area, and not the phones. Especially if 3 phones had the same connection problems.

I have noticed slow wifi speeds on occasion, but it was temporary. The next time I downloaded a large file over wifi, the speed was back to normal. I have no explanation for this, but it is not a dealbreaker for me.

You will always have intermittent sluggish performance & lags on any Touchwiz device. That is the nature of the beast. Touchwiz = lag. You can either accept it and go on, or you can refuse to accept it and find another device. Custom roms & kernels help, but until someone gets AOSP on this phone, you will always deal with some amount of lag.

Battery life isn't great, but I expected that when I bought it. Samsung put a 2550 mAh battery in a 8-core LTE phone with 1440 x 2560 display. Of course it will have crappy battery life. That is why Samsung also included quickcharging & wireless charging, because they knew most owners will bump charge during the day. If you can't (or don't want to) bump charge, then it probably won't last the whole day and you should (rightfully) buy another phone.

Good luck in your search for the best phone for you.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Peek-A-Boogie:
That sucks, you're one of the unlucky ones. Ive had great experience with my s6. I bought it second hand (only used for 2 days) for just 650, it was unl;ocked 64gb. SO far i have had no issues with it, dropped frequency here and there, but thats because im with wind mobile. Nothing new really, when you mension lag...i find it really hard to believe you. This phone still manages to be stock android nexus 5 smooth on power save mode. While when i had nexus 5, when its on power save mode; it felt as if i was using a 50 dolalr android phone. There is literally no such thing as lag for this phone.."LITERALLY".

As far as battery goes, this phone gets me through the whole day on a single charge, i get 4 hour 40 minutes screen time with heavy use, meaning; wifi connection(this phone is actually the best phone for wireless connection, because it apparently has something special to boost connection idk what its call tbh),snapchat, instagram, data on constantly through the day, screen brightness set to auto, facebook, video streaming (2-4 videos a day about 5-10 minutes long), mild gaming, about 40-1 hour gaming (mostly while commuting). What else..? texting, browsing just finding things to search while commuting.

Ive never really had dropped calls that was never my fault, or my mobile company.

The s6 is truly the ideal figure for android, the only sad part about it is it isnt..."stock android". That is the only thing i feel this phone is missing...oh and maybe 3000mAH battery haha. Other than that, i literally have no issues with the phone. If i were to rate my experience with samsung galaxy s6, compared to my other experience with Samsung phones..or android it self for that matter..i would rate it 9.8 out of 10. 5 being galaxy s3 bad, 10 being stock android nexus experience great (experience comparable to that of a nexus device).
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] barondebxl:
Damn sorry for you man. I have had zero issues with the S6, even battery life is pretty good with this rom.

Tried scrolling through the pages to find some info but any chance of the dev making a 5.1.1 Rom working with the W8?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] teiglin:
Deodexing is not yet possible for 5.1 TW ROMs; the tools need updating before that can happen. I believe edgar has already said he will update this ROM when he can, but the tool support is not there yet.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] gaston_garcia:
How do I root?

Hi,

I'm using this ROM and it's been working perfectly. The method I used to install it was Wiping, then Flashing with FlashFire. It's been running smooth.

I have a question though? (It's the first time I use Android and a custom ROM)

Which method do I use to root my phone now? I'm trying ping-pong and it's not allowing me to hit the "install" button.

Thanks!

:good:
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] rom116:
No need. This rom is already rooted
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] gaston_garcia:
When I use Root Checker it says I don't have root, that's why I asked.

Root Checker says "Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device."

I did have stock rom and had previously rooted with ping-pong. Then I installed this Rom.

Not sure if I'm missing some step or something.

Did anyone manage to get the Add Call button back using the Alliance Settings ???
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] cdx47:
I am an ex Nexus 5 user. I hate(d) Touchwiz and much preferred Clean Android. I played around with an s6 in the shop and thought this isn't that fast at all. My tricked out N5 is just as fast! But in the end I still bought a used s6. My experience taught me that the issues the s6 was having could on the most part be solved. And for the most part I was right.

TouchWiz

This current version is very usable and not the pain I thought it would be.

Battery life

Initially pretty bad but when I analysed the running processes it was crazy! Dozens of background apps running almost all the time killing the already small battery. Greenify struggled with hibernating some processes on my s6. Long story short, I installed this rom and only installed what I needed and now the s6 idle's beautifully. That is the key. When you are not using it, it shouldn't really be constantly running processes. And even if it does then the CPU shouldn't have to run about maybe 1ghz maximum which is what now happens. It is a little confusing though because the CPU is controlled from the Kernel and I am using stock Kernel. So it seems that the default Samsung Kernel is already highly efficient.

Speed

OMG this thing is fast. Its only when you use it regularly you see how fast it really is. The only slow thing I get is sometimes the finger print reader takes a while to respond.

Calls, Reception etc

No issues here at all. The areas I had reception black spots with my N5 I no longer have any issues with both calls and wifi.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] barondebxl:
You have to install SuperSu from the play store.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] 3's&7's:
Lol, its funny what happens to a thread of a hawt ROM when waiting for the next big update.

My experience has been excellent and I am a snotty Nexus/OnePlus guy. :0

Aside from RAM management (which is getting better in these forums all the time); this is the fastest phone I've ever handled.

Battery life and os handling rock on this rom. After flashing alliance and putting nova launcher (prime) in charge (and a dash of theming) it feels and looks like aosp/cm.

A 466mb rom isn't that big guys; hard to believe this is actually touchwiz in any way really.

I look forward to more memory tweaks, 5.1.1 going deodex, aosp apps porting, and eventually aosp/cm based roms that can handle the mighty exynos 7420! ;)

This rom made me a believer, loving the s6.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Joylesstuna:
I cannot thank you op enough. I have never have had better battery life and gaming performance on any other kernel / rom combo. My only grip is Google play app is laggy. This the only place I notice lag so it doesn't bother me much. If anyone knows how to fix the lag please share it as it is a known issue and L speed mod or overclocking has not fixed it. Once again thanks so much Edgar and all of your contributors.

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Harthouse:
Ex-N5 user here too. After 20 months of using it, decided to buy S6. Couldn't say I regret, but like you, I am not a fan of TW. Clean (Vanilla) Android is all I need. The worst thing on S6 are lags (on scrolling, for example)... S6 is fast in every possible way, but it is not smooth. I'm not complaining on battery life - it is good, not the best, but much better than on N5. I suggest you to try Droid Optimizer. It has some tweak technics for killing unnecessary processes.

Cheerz!
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] ChongoDroid:
I don't recommend using task killers. This rom is flying and has every feature I want.

V1.5 is great! Long battery life and very smooth! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3068540 I'm pretty sure everyone in this thread (XtreStoLite) already knows how good/bad their S6 is....

Anyone else experienced this... I reboot my phone everytime before I charge but seems to happen every few days... Could it be a network thing or rom?

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] M.Ned:
Can you explain how you did that?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] sublimaze:
Yep, which is why I won't buy it. There had been a lot of excitement for the next OnePlus phone, but people that follow android news (their target buyers) are avoiding SD810 like the plague. I think the OPO2 will fall on its face and won't even match the sales of the OPO, which obviously would not bode well for the company. I hope I am wrong and the OPO2 does well, but I just don't see that happening.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] pnr2020:
Here is how you root g925t and g920t on 5.1.1 without tripping knox. All credit for rooting method go to original developers. I in no way take any credit for their hard work whatsoever.

Download These Files

1. Samsung USB Drivers (Click here)

2. Odin v3.10.6

3. SuperSu v2.49

4. UniKernel

5. Auo's v4 kernel

6. Auo's TWRP v12

7. sboot.bin for G925T (s6 edge tmobile)

7b. sboot.bin for G920T (s6 tmobile)

If you plan on using the Unikernel to root your g925t or g920t on 5.1.1 use these steps

1. Install Samsung USB Drivers if necessary.

2. Put phone into download mode. Power phone off then press and hold Volume down, home and power keys at same time until you see warning screen then let go and hit volume up one time.

3. Plug phone in and wait for drivers to install if necessary.

4. Open odin you should now see phone's modem port highlighted in blue.

5. Click on BL tab and select correct sboot.bin that you downloaded above. Then click start.

6. When phone comes back on power off again and put into download mode.

7. Open odin again and this time select AP tab and select UniKernel file and click start.

8. That is it!!! When it comes back on phone will be rooted. To verify that knox has not been tripped go back to download mode and it should still say KNOX WARRANTY: 0 (0X0000)

If you plan on using Aou's Kernel and TWRP to root your G925T on 5.1.1 (DO NOT USE THIS FOR G920T) use the steps below

1. Install Samsung USB drivers if necessary.

2. Copy and Paste SuperSU v2.49 on the root folder of your phone's internal memory.

3. Put phone into download mode. Power phone off then press and hold Volume down, home and power keys at same time until you see warning screen then let go and hit volume up one time.

4. Plug phone into computer and let drivers install if necessary.

5. Open odin and click on BL tab and select sboot.bin file for g925t and click start.

6. When phone is back on put back into download mode again.

7. Open odin again and this time select AP tab and flash Aou's TWRP file and hit start.

8. When phone is back on put phone into download mode one last time.

9. Open odin and select AP tab and select Aou's v4 kernel and click start.

10. When phone is back on unplug it and power it off and put into recovery mode (Volume up, home and power keys)

11. When TWRP recovery is open click on install tab and select supersu file and swipe to flash it. then reboot phone to system.

12. That is it!!! When it comes back on phone will be rooted. To verify that knox has not been tripped go back to download mode and it should still say KNOX WARRANTY: 0 (0X0000)

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU FLASH THE FILES IN THE ORDER THE INSTRUCTIONS TELL YOU TO FLASH THEM!!!

---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

If for some reason after you flash UniKernel and phone screen turns white after on main screen for few seconds Just flash Aou's v4 kernel. That will fix that issue if it happens and you will still be rooted.

1- I don't want to use any custom kernels.

2- I'm not on 5.1.1, I'm on 5.0.2.

3- I use international SM-G920F version.

4- Already rooted with PingPongRoot. Knox is still 0x0.

5- Can't I just use FlashFire, wipe everything, and then flash this ROM via OTG? If I do so, will KNOX be tripped?
