[MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION] Is this rom always going to be a verizon thing or do you plan on fetching it to other variants of the S6?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
What does that have to do with my ROM?

I had AT&T Variants. If you are not happy with that then drop me a message ;)

Always happy to "do" another phone :victory:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Droid_Evo_8:
Too bad, not applicable for us Edge owners
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
This is not an Edge ROM. Go to the Edge Section and download :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Droid_Evo_8:
Will do, sir. LOL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
I made Edge ROMS ;)

Thank you for your interest :)

EDIT: Its hard for me to keep these ROM's inclusive :victory:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gunthermic:
Hard to understand why the heck not... Sheez... :p:p:p:p:p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] RockyCJC:
Scott. Donation made. Thanks for all you do buddy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] luv2increase:
What all modifications have been made on this ROM?

I see busybox and just system bloat removed.

I mean has there been any sysctl or RAM management tweaks etc..?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] furyau:
Go download the STOCK OE2 package from the thread in the general section.

Then when you flash back to stock, you will be on OE2, Stock and Unrooted all in one go. See my post above.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] joeyx2:
Thank you for all that you do! Have a round or 2 on me! :beer: :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] chrisj22:
I'm seeing if there is anything I can do to reduce cell standby seems even with mobile data disabled it still uses battery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ikenvape:
Seriously man, I don't know how you're pulling off so many ROM's and keeping such a clear head. Pretty amazing and speaks allot about you. I was torn between the S6 and G4, but seeing your presence here made the decision a bit more easier. Just thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] s197:
Cell standby isn't even on my list when I go under battery. Some have said clearing cache or Odin back to stock has fixed the issue. Personally it never was an issue for me so I think once you exhaust all options, take it back and see if a new phone yields better results.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] s197:
Anyone enable call recording? I did it on oc3 but now I notice there is a bluetooth button there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gizmoe:
It's part of the OTA update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] s197:
I realize but wasn't sure if recording would replace the button or add another. I'll test if no one knows, doing a battery test right now so didn't want to reboot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Protibus:
Adds another button.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] chrisj22:
Must be a verizon hole. 2 miles away at work it's fine and shows 3 days battery when fully charged but at home running the same test it's only 24 hours
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Yeah, But then I would have two identical threads for each device. I think it might actually make it harder...

Thank you sir!

Im about to right now! If you see a bunch of nonsense after this post you know the drinks were flowin' ;)

G4 is junk. Dont even think about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Droid_Evo_8:
Edited your spoiler. LOL :p:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] twiz0r:
Well I am ASSUMING that you are not on WIFI while you are at work. AFAIK this only occurs when on WIFI (which is why it's on standby).

This is a known issue that people are having (myself included). There are a couple of workarounds that have not worked at all for me. I have tried the clearing cache/turning off gps/disabling 3G/wifi settings workarounds with no change. This is on both cleanrom versions and the latest OTA. So far standby has used 33% of the battery that I have lost today. I am probably going to get a replacement shipped this week and see what happens. And I was just in on Friday ordering a replacement for my wife's Moto X 2014 (earpiece took a dump).

BUT we shouldn't clock this thread with this battery life concern. We should move it to the battery life discussion thread.

Everything else is great for me, can't wait for the extreme version!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] chrisj22:
I have tried with WiFi off at both places on a full rundown on battery. And I had the WiFi scanning turned off and notifications turned off
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Your lying! ;)

I used this phone (and standby) for 3 days straight. Yep, 3 days!

Not everyone should expect this. I dont use my phone like its a laptop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Not for me but it is a known issue according to some. I have not ever seen it happen on Stock or Clean.

Google it or "search" XDA. You might find something. Comeback when you flash CleanROM.

Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] cmcclure16:
Flashed CleanRom according to directions/video but got stuck with a black screen. After some fuddling around finally Odin'd back to stock and going to try again.

Just wondering, after selecting +Wipe and then +Flash, Flashfire lists them as Flash then Wipe, should that be the other way around (and possibly the cause of my issues)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Did you watch the video?

You can certainly try it the other way but Its appearing to be an issue with Flash fire.

Or this phone.

No one on AT&T had reported any issues at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Im also thinking a factory reset would help too?

I have been unable to verify the issue at all. I have flashed well over 25 times since I started and it never did it once.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] cmcclure16:
I flashed again and didn't do anything different (followed instuctions/video exactly) and it worked perfectly this time! Definitely seems like FlashFire wants to be a little picky with our VZW phones. :p

Thanks again Scott, you are awesome! :svetius::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
You are welcome. But this is super bugging me.

Im pretty sure you need to factory reset now. Because I have only done this on brand new non activated phones. So nothing is in Cache / SD Card / Etc.

But I am glad you got it working!

If someone reads this and is about to install the ROM, please do a factory reset first so we can test :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] THADDIUS25:
Wow battery life is just crazy, I've never seen sot like this!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] THADDIUS25:
Ended with this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] oconnell84:
Second try was successful. Not sure if this helped but I put the Rom in the sd folder vs download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Yeah, that is pretty good!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supersmash19:
I sent a pm about the downloading problems I was having just wanted to let you know in case you didn't see it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] VinceOB:
When I first installed the rom I didnt wipe and I got the black screen. I dont think it has anything to do with the rom. I had to odin back then did it all over again. The second time around I didnt wipe again and it installed fine. But, I still had bloat which was weird. So I went into Flash Fire again and wiped and it rebooted back into Clean without Bloat. Weird. So out of curiosity I wiped, added rom and flashed and it booted right up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] oconnell84:
The issue I thought of was that I was using beta 1 of pingpong. When I flashed back to stock I used beta 6. Maybe folks need to use the latest root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] morfini:
Does this rom avoid tripping knox? Scrosler, will you do something for international s6 too?

Here android development is weak and we have no other choice but losing warranty by installing custom recovery..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] shilohdrummer:
Is it possible to remove the Samsung music app? I can't find it in root explorer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Springy_Minaj:

How is it possible to flash a rom on the verizon s6 with the locked bootloader? I have the s6 edge and we cant flash any roms yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supersmash19:
Locked bootloader just means you can't flash a kernel. So as long as the rim is compatible with the stock kernel then it should be fine. I saw someone post in here that they got some help from scrosler to make an edge version, maybe they just haven't shared it

Awesome! At least we get stock rom nice and cleaned up soon!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
The extreme version will be SICK! :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] krypto1300:
So I noticed that the bootloader is new with the latest OE2. Is there any fear that if the bootloader is ever exploited that we might be SOL now that we've updated?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Yep, I think about that every night. (edited)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] krypto1300:
Well at least we got root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] twiz0r:
Lol and you really think the old one was going to be cracked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Ya ya ya
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
to my knowledge it is not incrememted.. meaning you can revert back to oc3.. its not once you go oe2 you cant go back..

this doesnt mean they wont do this with future updates but who knows...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] krypto1300:
Well that's good! Has anyone tried going back to OC3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] z-man79:
Thank you everyone for your help. I dusted off an old PC and successfully used Odin to load the stock rom, accept the other oe2 update, reroot and load cleanrom1.5.

One last question for now. Is there anyway to remove root and take the other update without completely wiping all your data, photos, etc?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Alucardis666:
So... if I'm on OC3 can I just flash this? Currently on Rick's Rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] nrage23:
No, You cannot. Read the OP. You must be upgraded to the newest OTA before you can flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Alucardis666:
So does that mean unroot, re-flash stock, and then re-root and then flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] thestinkinggenius:
No need to unroot, if you are all ready rooted the easiest thing to do would be to flash OE2 tar via Odin and then re-root with PingPong V6, install FlashFire and then flash new ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Alucardis666:
Thanks. I'll look into that :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jparasita:
Depending on what tar you use to flash the update do a factory reset after.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rod_ol_fo:
future S6 buyer

has anyone tried to add soft/virtual keys? i use [root] Soft Buttons from Playstore but on some stock Note 2 roms i would get a system ui crash. didnt know if it was a touchwiz error. I know you can edit the script as well, has anyone attempted that? thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jparasita:
Can I ask why bother? You have buttons right below the screen which replace them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rod_ol_fo:
i just like the option. i prefer the buttons swapped from what samsung gives us
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] droidfan1:
As a developer, how bad is the RAM management on the GS6? Is it overhyped, or is it really annoying?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gizmoe:
Both. It is way over hyped, but also for the hardware there should absolutely be no redraws. Hopefully the next update will fix it. I believe the blame lays more with lollipop though than this device in particular. I think Samsung was trying to overcompensate for the memory leak.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] anewday:
I'm confused by this in the instructions - "Updated to latest Verizon OTA OE2. You need to be on that OTA to install. If not phone will simply not work."

I just bought a S6 with AOC3, March 30th kernel build date. Do I need to take the official OE2 OTA update before using pingpong root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] musicfreak190:
Yes you do need take the ota. Only way to vet the new baseband radio and kernel.

Once on OE2 you can use ping pong root to root then you can install flashfire.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] holla420:
Is ur s6 a vzw one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] anewday:
^ Yes, it's Verizon.

Hmm, won't taking the official OE2 update risk having the kernel date later than May 15 which is not rootable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jparasita:
The kernel date is before then you will be fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] anewday:
Ok, I'm just paranoid that Verizon decides to include an updated kernel later than May 15 on the latest update. Is there an alternative to taking the official ota update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
You can use the odin file. We know that is safe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supersmash19:
Wow was gone for a couple days and the amount of pages here have doubled :eek:

I'm gonna have a lot of reading to do before flashing the updated version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] RockyCJC:
1st.....been on oe2 build now for a few days and things have stabilized. Battery is sick. Stats are telling me I have 2 days of battery left!!!

2nd...hypothetical question....on the next OTA update, if the kernel packaged removes the ping ping exploit, will you still be able to give us the newest build on cleanrom or would you have to wait for the community to find another exploit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] snake2332:
[root] Soft Buttons works....mostly. The virtual buttons work - I wish they had settings for icon size and nav bar height, and it would be nice if they behaved as if immersive mode was turned on. I went on to test the disabling of the capacitive buttons, which works except it also disables the hardware home button, which it's not supposed to do. The fingerprint sensor still functions, but pressing the home button does nothing. Attempting to enable or disable "hardware keys" ends up with an error because the file it tries to modify doesn't exist.

I might leave this enabled for awhile and see if I like it, but the wasted screen real estate turns me off. Plus, I like to use the home button to wake the device and that doesn't function if you disable the capacitive buttons. I used to use an on-screen nav bar with my Note 10.1 (2014) due to the tiny bezel that caused me to constantly hit the menu and back buttons accidentally, and my previous two phones were the G2 and Galaxy Nexus (not counting a short stint with an S4), so I'm used to on-screen nav buttons and don't really like the capacitive ones (especially since their position is flipped from the Android default).

I haven't used Galaxy phones much and was surprised the capacitive buttons were so stupidly bright even in the dark, so I have their illumination completely disabled 24/7. It's not like you need to see them to hit them. Too bad they don't adjust brightness with the light sensor. And too bad the display's auto-brightness doesn't get nearly dim enough when it's completely dark. It's like Samsung doesn't think anyone uses the phone in the dark, meaning the Samsung designers are in the dark.

Sim Card Issue

Hi all,

I installed this rom but when I was doing the initial set up on the first boot it wouldn't activate my phone and gave me a message saying "This is not a verizon sim card". I used odin to flash it back to stock and it activated fine when I did that. Any help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jdog94:
I'm having mediaserver wakelock is anyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dopediculous:
Does anyone have any ideas/files or a link to point me at to get the new ota? I'm on VZW S6 With OC3 and can't for the life of me get the Verizon update installer or whatever program it is, installed on my PC.

We've all read that to get the ota, ya just plug your phone in, run the program, it unroot and put the new ota on without wiping, but I can't get that to happen! *shrug

Also... If I ever get it working on PC, do we leave USB debugging checked or just uncheck it and not select MTP? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys! ?

So just odin the OE2 .tar and that'll factory reset me without root, and it'll wipe my data then just ping-pong it again?

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------

So if I get this zip, then what? I'd rather do this tiny zip and not loose data then flash a 1.8gb tar
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
Have you tried yet? I dont quite know what to do if it doesnt work. He explains in the OP. Just dont want to mess camera up and have to odin. What im trying to get at is incorporating these features in a rom if these features are out there in the wild.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dopediculous:
Can't delete previous posts, but this 10-11mb zip is this the OTA I was asking about? If so, how do I flash it? Odin? I'd rather the small Dropbox link than the 1.8gb tar. Sorry for the multiple comments and wrongful quotes. Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dopediculous:
OK cool. Now what about other dudes link with the 10-11mb zip. You know what to do with that. Seems like that would be a way to get the ota without losing my data (based of the file size)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] s197:
Flashfire only wipes certain partitions (like system) so your apps will be gone but your photos and such will still be there. There are certain Odin files that WILL wipe everything clean, so be careful there but not all Odin files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] stealyourface1:
That I don't know...I always wipe and clean flashed things and reinstalled apps media ect. From backups witch takes more time but peace of mind I'm running smooth os

I am also having the issue of "not a verizon sim card" after installing the rom. Took it to verizon and they changed my sim but got the same message when restarting phone. Please help!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] hank3fan:
I think you should read up on odin and read some threads in the q and a forum.

Are you familiar with odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] hank3fan:
Yeah things are more difficult since the fascinate. Personally I'd download the ota from the update thread so you could verify the md5.

In the update thread there should be instructions on all the steps that you need to take in order to update via odin.

Just flash zip with Odin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Bxrider117:
I had the same problem a few days ago. I used the Odin file to take me back to the original rom that came on the phone. Once I did that it brought back my imei number and my phone was good.

Then I took the ota from Verizon. Once that was loaded I used ping pong root. Then flash Clean rom. You have to be on the ota rooted before you can flash Clean rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] anewday:
This. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
0 to none. People need to sit back and relaize this is not a super computer. Its a phone. I have no problems and dont reboot for a week at a time. Never have an issue.

TW Launcher did redraw on me ONE TIME in a week. Not too worried about it.

Yes, please read and read and read. Better end user experience.

We will see when the time comes. I dont like speculations, just facts. And the fact is... Yes, it certain they will remove the exploit but for those that know how to dev it may be possible to install OTA and keep rooted phone, etc.

Until the time comes there is no point in worrying or even thinking about it.

I will see if I can make a flashable zip for it tomorrow.

Read OP, you are on the wrong base band / OTA.

I told you to do this 20 to 30 posts ago... You didn't trust me? :crying:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] droidfan1:
Just some tips to speed up this already beast of a phone:

1. Go to developer options, make all animation scales 0.5x (this could potentially be incorporated in the ROM, why not?)

2. Use Nova Launcher and make all Animations fast.

Anyone miss Long-Press to skip music? This is beyond useful while driving. There's a workaround by using two apps: Quickclick + Tasker. If anyone wants to know how, send me a private message.

Scott, if you can anyway put in Long-Press controls, that would be amazing. However, to date since Xposed doesn't work... there is no real solution.
