Been trying to get good battery life. Had to go back to 5.1.1 wipe everything but data and went back. Now I have smart switch working.

Didn't lose any thing this time. But I work sometime 13hours. This ROM gave me 12 or 13 hours and if I hog it 10. 5.1.1 I am now back to 34-39 hours.

Edge zip gave me back my edge features.

Love this ROM but needed the battery and more speed.

Hats off to the DEVS though as this was my daily for a awhile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
can you plug it in for awhile while working, or, just carry a small externally battery to juice it up?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] shawndotting:
Could try that. Didn't think then as I keep moving. I manage guys so I am constantly in office out of office on my phone and moving about.

But I didn't try that. I got so use to unplugging in the morning then before sleep at nights plugging though I may still have charge.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] lrmdaddy:
just want to say to the devs, ur roms are sick when it comes to the battery life, ive been using your roms for a few yrs, love the work, love the feel, heres my latest battery stats with at least 4 hrs web browing at work, 1 hour of youtube watching, 1.5 hrs of videos on vevo app, 2 hrs on xda app, and 4 hrs of music...50% left with 11 hrs left, 14 hrs off charger so far...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Malnilion:
The reason I personally held up for a while flashing this ROM was because I wanted to try Samsung Pay. But then I realized a couple things: 1) I don't really use my card in places where I could actually use Samsung Pay but not Google Wallet very often 2) I would prefer to continue using Google Wallet for my payments and 3) I really wanted to be able to enjoy the full experience of custom ROMs.

So I'm tripped, but that's okay. In the end, I'm happier with my device using this ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
just like everything else Android, one never knows what will actually be required when and if Samsung Pay actually launches.

Until Samsung itself comes out, and makes an OFFICIAL statement on what will be mandatory for Samsung Pay to work, every thing you read here, on twitter, and every where else means absolutely nothing.

And, if it turns out enough people on XDA actually care enough about a payment system, which I doubt they will, there will be plenty of people working on a way to use it.

But honestly, most people who use XDA care about customizing their phones, not about a silly payment system, that hasn't actually even been released yet..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bajasur:
Thanks the whole reason I built this rom, was so that we all had something awesome to run. I was getting really bummed out seeing the lack of development.

Glad your enjoying alliance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] dragonfuego:
Hey guys I have a quick question to anyone that can give me a hand or point me on the right direction, using a 925T on ATT network, waited until I could get a full unlock to root and install custom Rom. So after attempting to gain root my phone got stuck on a boot loop so had to restore via Odin, tried again and everything worked, currently rooted and running this great Rom. The problem, phone can make phone calls and send text, but cant get data connectivity, already tried manually inputting correct APN's, resetting apn's to default and restarting the phone, pretty much tried a lot of apn solutions, but still can't connect to data on att. Mobile network state: disconnected. During the temporary unlock and after the permanent unlock data worked fine using the att sim card, also if i use my T-Mobile sim data connects right away. Forgot to mention this is really my Wife phone and now she is pissed because she can't connect to the internet, but she loves the battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bajasur:
Anyone else in here running this rom on ATT with G925T?

[MENTION=4854133]bajasur[/MENTION], do you mind if I crop your signature to take out the developer portion and use it on my signature?, just to promote the team!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] palosjr:
For everyone that is complaining about tripping Knox , why don't you root with ping-pong and flash twrp v2 via flashify. I did that and then flashed alliance following the instructions in the OP and haven't encountered any issues at all.

No Knox was tripped and I can flash a stock recovery and rom if I ever need to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bajasur:
That's fine with me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Once TWRP is on Board, that IS a custom recovery and thus KNOX will be tripped. Again, I say big deal............
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Malnilion:
I'm not saying 100% that you're wrong, but I'm pretty sure if you reboot to download mode on your phone (turn off your phone and hold power, vol-, and home) that you will find that your Knox status is 0x1, which is tripped.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
THIS..

Custom Recovery = Knox tripped
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wifiguru:
This rom is spot on. My S6 Edge is blazing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bamfsig45:
Anyone successfully get V4A to work with this ROM? I went back to Looper for the regular S6 because of this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
yep, works perfectly, following the instructions in the Viper thread
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bamfsig45:
I tried everything, the damn drivers would not install. Permissions were right, the audio_effect file was in the proper places.. It was frustrating. Ill try again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
you know you have to change permissions on both files; also, the audio effects file has to go in 2 places...and, of course, you disabled/froze in TB the 2 audio files that the instructions say to freeze ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bamfsig45:
yep and yep, Ive not had a problem getting it working on everything else.

Just tried again and Im asked to install drivers after every reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] luigic81:
I am running Viper as well on this rom. Did you perhaps try to restore Viper from titanium backup and maybe it messed with the app data?

I would just delete all the files that you downloaded and start fresh.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bamfsig45:
I deleted everything, cleared dalvik cache and cache, rebooted re-downloaded the files again.

I have the tether hack installed and the Material Dark V2 for the urban theme installed. I doubt those would break anything but I may try a clean install of the rom before I give up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] luigic81:
I don't have the tether hack nor any themes installed so I couldn't tell you. But I may have to give that theme a google now :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bamfsig45:
here http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/themes-apps/wip-material-design-theme-s6e-t3108155
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
that theme modifies system and framework, so there is a good chance that is your problem..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bamfsig45:
Hmm well I really like that theme if it really does break it.

On the other hand I use that theme on Looper rom and viper works
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Maqical:
Any news on the stock apps addon?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
alliance rom has several themes built into it, so you should check those out and clean flash it..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] FligMupple:
Hello. Have any settings been added yet to the Battery page of the Status Bar settings that would allow me to completely hide/remove the battery icon?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
not yet
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] neno322:
Anyone having issues opening up word documents like excel and pdfs? I'm on V3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bamfsig45:
Clean installed alliance rom. Then installed V4A, worked 1st time. Then I installed the urban/Material dark them, Viper still works. Installed the tether mod and Viper is still working. So I'm good, just needed a fresh start.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
cool! :good:

funny how sometimes starting clean can cure all ills!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] dragonfuego:
Thanks for the response, unfortunately after doing it all, still have the same problem, anyone else.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] luigic81:
Good stuff
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] dragonfuego:
Alright, so I was able to get the phone working had to odin, factory reset via stock recovery, then installed custom recovery, rooted, installed alliance, finally used the following APN setting for ATT

Anyone running Ktoonsez 5/18 kernel? just wondering ho it compares to the 5/12 kernel built in? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
5/18 kernel runs great..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] coquipr79:
i came from a stock rooted setup - flashed this last night and my WiFi is broken......something i did wrong or should I just reflash?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] azz72:
Clean start should fix ur issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] coquipr79:
Clean start meaning reflash or ODIN?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] azz72:
Meaning to wipe clean and flash no dirty flashing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] juniorr7710:
Taking the plunge now... so after being rooted, i would do the following:

1. flash twrp or odin

2. flash rom

At what point do i wipe clean and is the order correct? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Jdom58:
Ok let me see if I remember how I did this correctly :D

1-Root

2-TWRP via ODIN

3-BACKUP CURRENT ROM just in case things go wrong

4-Install ROM via TWRP (In Aroma one of the first choices is FULL WIPE choose that one, then follow steps making your choices of what you want.

5-Reboot and give it a few minutes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] juniorr7710:
Ok will give this a try... also where in the process do i enter option for ktoonz kernel? Thanks for your input :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Jdom58:
No need to select the kernel, it's built in to the rom, just make sure to do a clean install so all goes well :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] juniorr7710:
The full swipe option is the clean install you mention on step# 4. Just trying to make sure when I do clean install if before or after.

But thanks for all the info :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Jdom58:
Ok after agreeing with the Terms of Use, Select: ROM Base (should be already selected) and Factory Reset (full wipe) then pick which debloat options you want if any. I didn't remove any on mine then just used Titanium backup to either freeze or delete them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] juniorr7710:
Got it... Thank you sir :good: :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Jdom58:
Good luck, let me know how it goes :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] coquipr79:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ledvedder:
Is there any way to remove the s finder and quick connect from the pull down menu?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] juniorr7710:
step 1 & 2 are good... going thru step 3 but while backing up the following appears in RED, E: Resource font - fixed failed to load So I'm not sure if it back up, is that the norm?

EDIT: I went into device storage, however i do not see a TWRP folder all i see is a TWRP file with ? mark
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kswa1987:
Yes, it's an option in the Alliance Control app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] juniorr7710:
All steps done, reboot and waiting.. I did not see the option to make choices or debloat or did I miss that part?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Jdom58:
Hi sorry at work so was off for a while, the choices to debloat are on the same screen as the full wipe, just below it.

Glad to see it worked out for you :D if you want to debloat just reinstall the rom with full wipe and choose the debloat you want, easy :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] lizaSB:
First screenshot has almost no idle time. Not too hard to get numbers like that when you don't care about the endurance of your device
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] juniorr7710:
Okay will try again, so far good... full swipe will put me back at beginning again, so have re-start whole process with installing apps?

What about ktoonz kernel to update to latest from 5/18 :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Jdom58:
Yes Grasshopper, full wipe will be needed if installing debloated a version to make sure nothing is left over to create a problem.

As for KT 5/18, install zip file through TWRP same as a rom, my personal preference is to also wipe cache and dalvik cache before installing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mocsab:
Just curious if this ever (or will), happen? I want some of the samsung apps that were pulled.. Even if you just provided a file of all of them so I could manually install.. I know it you are busy and have a life but it would be appreciated... Thanks in advance..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Jdom58:
I think you should be able to get them by installing the Samsung App Store apk a few pages back
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
yea 9 hours of screen time without doing a single thing...... Cmon be realistic anybody that is using their gs6 as a smart phone meaning web/text/calls/emails etc etc etc is going to be in the average of 3-4 sot nobody is going to achieve 9 hours on a phone that you are actually using as a smartphone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mocsab:
S VOICE won;'t install that way - at least I haven't been able to find it - I also sync with Samsung - and backup stuff thru samsung and cant do that now either - none of these are deal killers for me - just wants - if and when it might be possible. If not - no issues I can deal with it...I love the rom regardless - use it exclusviely now for my Daily Driver...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kswa1987:
Probably a question better answered in the ktoonz kernel thread under T-mobile S6 Edge original android development.

Tons of info in that thread.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] chadgauth:
I tried to enable private mode through both the settings and with the quick toggle. I get the message, "Failed to enable private mode. Try again." I'm guessing it doesn't work since Knox is tripped. Perhaps there is a way to edit the private mode smali to always report Knox is 0x0 if that is the case?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Maqical:
Man I love this rom but it hates me, everytime I use ad block or anything it seems to slow down a lot..

And later on today, It wouldn't let me install anything due to low memory when I have space..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bajasur:
Hmm, I doubt that is related to the rom. I'd try a clean install with restoring anything
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Maqical:
I'm just gonna wait on stock until you realize the add on or the bloated one.

Great rom overall, but it probably doesn't help I'm using it on a standard S6.

Anyways, I heard they fixed the audio for international roms with tmobile sound, so i'm sure greatness will be flooding the sections.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] CCoR87:
Anybody having issues BTing to their car's audio? Haven't tested this feature yet since I installed ROM so I'm not sure if its version related or what but my phone finds the device but can't sync. Gives me a Bluetooth pin/password error. Never asked me for pin before and doesn't let me set one up either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
nope, pairs effortlessly on both of my cars...

9 Hour SOT

I got 9 hours SOT browsing the web, using Relay for Reddit and Tapatalk, reading books, using Facebook, installing apps, downloading stuff, using Inbox, and watching YouTube in HD. Also got a bit less battery life on v2, probably due to the different kernel. Dirty flashed v3 over v2, but that shouldn't make a difference.

This might help if you want to get similar SOT: The only battery saving app I have enabled is Greenify, with Facebook hibernated. I also flashed the "Debloat Samsung" version because that removes a bunch of useless Samsung bloatware that I really don't need. Also, I know it's probably just placebo, but it feels like custom themes (from the Samsung theme store) slow down the device and drain more battery for some reason. I disabled VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling, as one of those increased my cell standby but I'm too lazy to find out which, so I just disabled both. I'd say my brightness averaged around 20% overall. Using dark themes should help your battery life a great deal - in Relay and my book reader, I have the "Black" theme enabled, so that uses considerably less screen power. Didn't make any calls over the usage period; received, but declined one call; had 4-5 bars throughout use and disabled no connectivity, sync, location, except for Bluetooth. Leaving Bluetooth on to connect to my Moto 360 lowers battery life by an hour or so overall in past experience.

That's all I did.

Good luck!

EDIT: For some reason, my e-book reader power usage seems to be lumped into Screen or Android System power usage, as it doesn't appear in the list.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] srkoza:
thats awesome, i believe it, im getting 6 hours of on screen time and ive modded quite a bit, as in lots of apps and no battery saving options, i find facebook is a killer since it runs in background, and facebook messenger also, and if you have location ticked on facebook messenger tracks you wherever you go lol

This ROM is built on edge firmware so edge features work. You need to flash this rom in twrp and then flash a custom kernel built for your carrier, preferably ktoonsez kernel.
