In the old days.. Yes...

But in modern tech... I would like to say no. But normally I can prove what I say with hard core facts... This time its just a gut feeling.

Hell... Try it both ways and measure twice! That will be the real indicator.

I know I said this 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times but everyone will have different battery usage experience based on location, sig strength, etc...

You got to experiment and see what works for you (or Him / Her)

So I haven't made any changes to my phone and as of this morning I had 30Mbps down and 20 Mbps up. I don't get it.....

I haven't had one issue, solid as a rock.

WOW

If you can do better send me a link to your work and do you work for free?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] krypto1300:
I'm still in awe over how good my battery is with this ROM!

I'm sure there's some others... but I don't think they were on my stock phone. I could probably just remove them in TIBU but I was just wondering why there were extra apps included.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] brholt6:
Pretty sure all of these (except donate) are on the stock rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Good deal!

Hahaha, ya! Would be funny if they started loading "Donate" on the stock ROM!

I have np on Scotts site on my s6 as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
Hey Mr clean, I'm not asking an eta but, are you working on a super clean version or an updated clean for next release. I'm waiting on your next release to root and install. Only waiting BC there's always kinks to be worked out and would love to see the additions, aka low battery handicap disabled, volume notification etc.... No rush I'm happy with stock performance and love the battery life already. Can't wait to jump on board though. The super clean is what I'm looking forward to aka clean+...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Not at this time. My heatlh priorities are taking over and I am finally going back to work partial days so I can pay my bills.

As it stands there are no bugs in this ROM and I am sure others will start making mods.

I will still be doing a SUPER Clean but the ETA is unkown.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] twiz0r:
Just a note for everyone: when posting battery stats PLEASE SHOW SCREEN ON TIME.

Otherwise it's worthless.

I got around 32 hours with 2.5 hours screen on fwiw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Its not worthless. SOT is just a measure YOU like.

To me standby is WAY more important. If your phone is not sleeping its going to kill battery thus reducing your SOT.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] twiz0r:
Not trying to be a **** or anything just trying to learn. How do you know what standby time is if we don't tell you how long screen has been on?

Also I am having a minor issue. When I have an app requesting root I cannot click on the pop up at all. I have to let it time out. And the app does not show up in the list on supersu so I can allow that way.

Has anyone experienced this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] xdadevnube:
Doni Sent, thanks Scott!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Ok, thought you were calling people out for not doing what you want. All good.

As far as the SuperSU thing... That is very strange. I would check in [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]s thread and see what he thinks. Can you name one app so I can test it?

Thanks much!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
I've noticed it with wakelock detector by uZum Apps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] travishamockery:
Uncheck tapjacking protection in supersu. You're using something that has an overlay... Maybe lux? Anyway Uncheck in that will solve your problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] twiz0r:
It was lux causing the issue for me. Just started using it not too long ago and I guess I have been setting it up after root apps and never noticed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Ziocomposite:
Hi All,

Did a quick thread search and nothing popped up about "Samsung Pay". Any info on it enabled in ROM or does the cleaning result in it's deactivation?

Best,

Zio
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Ahhhhh

Samsung pay is not out for a Verizon phone. But I am sure that Knox will be needed. This ROM is 99% Knox free.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dbizzy:
youtube

anyone having issues w/ youtube?

Like, it'll be fine, playing a video but after a little while (5 mins) it will say " There was a problem while playing..... Try again."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supersmash19:
Yeah I'm having a problem with it but a bit different. I won't even have opened it and I'll randomly get messages that you tube has force closed.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jparasita:
I suggest using a file explorer deleteing it and then installing it from the playstore as a temp fix
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jparasita:
I do not know why everyone is having problems this rom is flawless!

And check out these battery stats not bad!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] joshua.b:
What is the difference between this rom and being rooted on stock? Just minor tweaks for battery and performance? Thinking about flashing but not sure if it's necessary. I do remember this being an amazing rom back on the galaxy s3 so I may try it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Well...

Your questions are very subjective...

Just like the S3 ROM, I optimized for battery and speed.

I was just telling someone the other day that this reminded me of the good old days of the S3. Hahahaha! I miss those days, lol

Whatever you decide to do.. Have fun and done be afraid to ask questions!

-Scott
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] twiz0r:
Standby is still killing me after trying the workaround :( come on vzw patch us up!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jparasita:
Did you do this workaround?

1. Turn Volte off

2.clear cache reboot phone

3.turn volte back on should be good to go
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] twiz0r:
Ya I also went just a tad further. Earlier in this thread Scott posted a method that included that and unchecking some wifi settings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jparasita:
Yea I forgot that part lol opps also there is a interesting thread if you have solid 4g in youre area check out this thread might be able to reduce cell stand by even more.

Advanced Calling

Advanced Calling should be working fine with this ROM correct? I am having issues activating this because I am on a business account, but wanted to make sure that was the issue and not me being rooted?

Thanks in advance guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jparasita:
Yes working like a charm for me :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jmkyanks1:
Same problem

Hey I seem to be having the same problem. Installed Rom yesterday and is running like a beast, but advanced calling can't be enabled. I had my IT guy call Verizon and they keep telling me it is on, however it won't let me activate it and says to contact Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] twiz0r:
thank you very much for this. I've seen that thread, but had no idea what ServiceMode was/is so I never even opened the thread. I do have great LTE in Vegas so I will be trying this later today when I have some time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jparasita:
This might be a little work but your best bet is to download the stock rooted flash wipe install then you should be able to activate advanced calling once you see it is activated reinstall cleanrom make sure you always wipe then it should be fine. Thats what i did to get it working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] mrlamotte87:
Yea. I am loading a STOCK ROM to see if this makes a difference or not. I'm hoping to get it going with that and then maybe flash back and hope it is still turned on in the system.

Thanks for the feedback guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jmkyanks1:
Keep me posted!

BTW, Scott, great job as always.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jparasita:
Should work guys give it a shot! Thats how I got it working again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] joshua.b:
Thanks. I'll try it out when I'm off work. And yup, the S3 was fun. I love the S6 but I had a blast having an unlocked bootloader and flashing stuff every day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] chrisj22:
Looks cool but can't download from app!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] hopesrequiem:
If you can't find the link, you probably shouldn't be flashing lol.

If you use one of the menu keys, you can open the page in browser view.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] kmalh:
will the flash rom lock my phone?

Hi scott, I have a samsung s6 unlocked from verizon. I had to travel abroad and noticed that the LTE bands where I am at are different. Been reading around and figured out that the LTE band 3 is supported by the device however it is removed by software. I also figured out a way to remove this limitation by adding the band manually as indicated Here:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059

. This however requires custom rom and possible even a flash kernel.. I am new to all of this and figured that downloading your CleanRom would allow me to install the LTE bands that are removed.

My two concerns are:

1- My main and biggest concern, would my unlocked phone (which i paid full price for and am using with a different carrier) become locked if i flash your rom?

2- Having your vast knowledge in the world of android, do you think I will be able to use QPST and QXDM to manually add the bands with only a flash ram or does that require a flash kernel as well? I know this is a bit off topic but I am lost and you really are on top of this game.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] nrage23:
Your phone is and will be SIM unlocked if you flash this rom so you can use any sim from any carrier. However it is bootloader locked so you cannot flash custom kernels if required for unlocking more LTE bands. In the general and Q&A sections there are a couple threads about unlocking more LTE bands you can check out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
Just an FYI. I jumped on board last night. From stock, Rooted with Pingpong beta 6 / SU, I DL clean rom from my phone, took just less then 10min, got flashfire, followed OP steps directly, no problems, running great. That was the easiest method i have ever used.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] neversummer515:
Does anyone know how to turn off the additional lock screen when attached to bluetooth? I have the finger print scan security set up, but whenever I connect to bluetooth, I get an additional lock that turns on on my screen. There is a picture of a lock right above my home button. So I have to swipe the lock, then do my finger print. Nothing like adding extra steps while driving. Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] avid.aria:
same issue here. What I did to get around this, I turned off smart unlock altogether, unless someone else comes up with another solution
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gytole:
Trying to convince my friend with his launch day S6 to let me put this on his phone. Who doesnt want Cleanrom?

Bout to send you my G3, we need some Cleanrom love! Haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
You can send the G3, and it will get marked return to sender. :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] nickgeorge333:
Are you using smart lock? If so, your device is not locked and swiping on the little lock icon locks it. If you swipe somewhere else it will open.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] neversummer515:
You are correct sir. Clearly I just see a button and assume it has to be pushed. Thank you!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Good thing there are people who actually know how to use this phone because I would have just said... IDK?

I never use any of those extra "features"

Thanks for the help!

Re-Activation Lock

So just thought I would add my two cents. So I forgot to turn off the activation lock prior to rooting my device and of course it was stuck on. So the root went just fine. Used Pingpong 6 beta, installed flashfire and followed the directions. Phone rebooted and started right up just perfect. But the reactivation lock is still stuck on. I am going to ODIN back to stock, hoping I can then turn it off. Then rinse and repeat. But the rom looks awesome, I appreciate all the hard work you put into it.

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------

Update....I did ODIN back to stock, turn off reactivation lock. Then rinse and repeat. Worked with no problems. Again I love the work so far, please keep it up. Donation is on its way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] mucky:
ROM seems good so far, but I have one issue. My computer won't recognize my phone. I tried installing the USB drivers from Samsungs site, and it was a no go. I hooked up my wifes S6, not rooted, installed the Verizon stuff( which mine doesn't seem to have any more since rooting), and hers worked. Mine still says "USB device not recognized" or "software not installed "

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Strange...

Try a different port or also try to change from MTP to PTP back to MTP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gunthermic:
Quite honestly, if you have a second S6 and it does work, then your computer has the correct driver install, and any S6 will work. Scotts suggestion is about all you should have to do to have computer recognize it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] bkeaver:

Actually it is the app that's the problem there is no link. Downloads fine from the computer though. Plus I have been flashing since the original galaxy so this isn't my first time around
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
he clearly said app.. if you press the post (tap it) it should have an option to open in browser.. then from there you can download just like you can from the pc.

this is assuming your using the xda app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
ok.. you tap press "more" then press "open in browser"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Dude! I am happy to have anything! Even if just $2.00! If I had that per download I would be nearing my 2,000,000 mark! Plus being on part time for 6 months set me back bad. If it were not for you and others in the community I would not have this phone!

I appreciate what you did! I really do!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jdog94:
i know someone posted a reason advanced calling hd voice will work but i cant check video it is greyed out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Some people had to Odin back to stock, make sure it was On, then reflash CleanROM.

I did not have to do this but a handful of people did.

Try that and let me know what you find.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jdog94:
i dont think my video calling would turn on before i rooted either
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
you have it enabled on device and account? thefes no reason it shouldnt work..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] chrisj22:
That's what threw me this is the only ROM out of literally hundreds I've downloaded that you have to do it that way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
ive had many links require me to open in browser.. ive been around since 2011
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] RockyCJC:
I didn't see a response back from mucky, but I can confirm that Scott's suggestion is what I had done when I had the same problem. For some reason the phone sometimes does not recognize that external pc and display the dialog the asks you if you give the of permission to access the phone through USB Debugging. Switching modes causes the connection to reset and give you that dialog.

If you are unsure how to do this, go to your pull down menu and click the option that says "connected as". The screen that appears shows two options, and you just pick the one that is not selected.

Of course you will want to make sure that USB debugging is enabled in the developer menu as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jdog94:
they are both enabled..........i was trying to look back but did find anything ......did someone say it wouldnt work if sim came from a iphone???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Your both Newbs ;)

Actually yes! Someone did post that! I dont know much about it though. But they said old iphone SIM was not provisioned for advanced calling.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] JAYNO20:
I originally tried to activate this phone using a sim out of an iPhone I had laying around and the online my Verizon account told me that sim couldn't be used in the S6.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Cmotion:
Just had to post my early results with this ROM... I'm (like so many others) a CleanROM fan from the S3 days. Scott always made fast ROMs that had great battery life. I normally will wait a few battery cycles after I flash a new ROM to comment on battery life, as I'll be setting it up, using it quite a bit, etc. However, I was so impressed with the first 51 minutes of this ROM I had to share.

And pretty much all of that was screen on time...

Only losing 10% after a fresh flash with the screen on the entire time is pretty incredible to me. I would be lucky to get 4 hours screen on time before... At this rate I'd easily get a few hours more. Thank you Scott for your incredible work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Very nice dude!

IM still iffy on battery... I think HD widgets is killing me. Its at the top of my list for batt usage... Grrr... But I love that app!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] droidrev71:
I said you won't be able to use the video part if the SIM is from an iPhone. I had the same circumstances as you and changed SIM card and all was good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Thanks for the info! I never knew that until it was posted in this thread!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] droidrev71:
You're welcome. :)

My girlfriends mom has this phone. Hates it due to batter life and bloatware. Is this rom stable enough to flash and let her just run as a daily driver? She doesn't do anything besides phone, text, and maybe e-mail some day. She just wants more battery and response time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
I will let others answer that. I am kinda biased :angel:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] krypto1300:
It's rock solid stable and is just an awesome ROM. Plus, the S6 is so easy to root and flashfire is so simple. My Wife and I both run it on our S6's.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] stackz07:
Thanks for letting me know. How easy or quick is it to revert back to stock if she wants to bring it to the verizon store? Unfortunately let she'll only have my tech support over the phone after I go back home next week.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jreyno10:
Very easy. Just download the Odin file and the latest Verizon .tar file and flash with Odin and you'll be stock. The thread is in the Verizon s6 section somewhere. Just look for how to return to stock

Wait a sec. The main reason I don't have this phone is because I expected it to be locked down tighter than a drum so I wouldn't be able to install custom ROMs (like CM when they are available).

Did I miss something? How does this work without unlocked bootloader/custom recovery etc?

Because this is based off the stock rom with the stock kernel

Just went to install CleanROM with flashfire and all went dandy but then it said "Failed to set some perms", rebooted and my phone is now stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S6 boot screen with the custom unlock icon. Going to need to odin back to stock I'm assuming?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
if your in a boot loop then yes.. before that however, try to go into stock recovery and perform a data factory reset.. this worked for me before..

if not then odin to stock..

report back as well!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] omgi0wn:
I ended up just using odin to go back to stock. I checked the md5 on the file after using odin and apparently the mirror I used must have corrupted the file or something because the md5 wasn't the same. Downloaded it from a different mirror and got the correct md5 and then went ahead with a fresh install, all is dandy now. I backed up my internal storage before attempting to install so I didn't lose anything.
