[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MrWicked1:
Did you download data?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Markstache:
yep. I was on a previous version of CleanROM and wanted to update to the latest but you have to be on OE2. So I've rooted before with pingpong and flashed with flashfire, but now I'm currently stuck with a superbloated stock rom :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jdog94:
maybe you should odin again and start over
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] polaric:
I haven't taken the vzw ota yet, wouldn't it kill root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dopediculous:
I got that message yesterday, but it just worked after I tried again. Is SU installed? I'm sure you've gotten it figured out by now, but thought I'd say what my experience was...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] timdsmith72:
Make sure you "Download Data" first in Pingpong before trying to "Get root"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Markstache:
I've tried repeatedly downloading data before clicking Get Root, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both PingPong and SuperSU, being sure to clear Data for the apps first. Just about any combination of phone-related voodoo dance I can think of to get this thing to work and it always just says the phone isn't supported. I've tried installing PingPong and letting it install SuperSU, immediately opening SuperSU to let it give me an error message to consummate the installation as is recommended, and also forgoing that step.

Those of you going from the previous version of CleanROM to the newest, what was the exact process you followed? Here's exactly what I did:

-Backup with Flashfire

-used Odin 3.10.6 to flash OE2 as prescribed in http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/general/verizon-s6-stock-restore-files-t3096000 (phone did not wipe)

-Let phone boot into stock OE2, and rebooted

-Installed PingPong 6.0(beta)

-Let it install SuperSU, opened SuperSU to let it initialize, returned to PingPong

-Clicked Download Data

-Clicked Get Root
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Wilamette:
I did have some trouble the first two times that I tried it as well. I honestly have no idea if this is what actually worked or not, but I believe that it worked when I didn't open SuperSU after PingPong 6.0 installed it. I had used Odin to flash OE2, setup the phone as a new device, installed and ran PingPong, installed but didn't open SuperSU, in PingPong clicked Download Data, then Get Root, rebooted then opened SuperSU.

This was my 3rd time doing it, but I am pretty sure this is what I ended up doing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Markstache:
'Setup phone as new device' as in complete wipe?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Wilamette:
Sorry, forgot that part! I did end up doing a factory reset from inside Maintenance Boot Mode, then using Odin to flash OE2 and set up as a new device (i.e. not having Google download my apps and whatnot).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] s197:
Did you enable USB debugging in developer options?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Markstache:
I just did this twice and it still says that my device is not supported when I try and run PingPong. Completely fresh installation of OE2 via Odin after cache wipe and factory reset.

This is super frustrating. I would be ok with having just lost everything on my phone if it were actually for a good reason. Now I'm sitting here with an unrooted phone full of bloatware and nothing else. Pretty lame.

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

I had before when I had dirty flashed OE2 on top of the older version of CleanROM, but not after I had just completely wiped and installed OE2 fresh.

I'm trying it now and my phone just turns itself off when I click Get Root instead of telling me it's not supported, so at least there's progress.

Update: Pretty much back to always telling me it's not supported even after full cache wipe/factory reset and installing fresh. Even following all additional steps as in OP of PingPong thread. Turn on USB Debugging, wipe/factory reset, install, run, click download, turn on airplane mode and then click get root. used to just kernel panic, now it just says not supported.

Update 2: HOLY CRAP I FINALLY HAVE ROOT. I had to wipe/clear cache, go through setup process and not configure anything, turn on USB Debugging, Install From Unknown Sources, Open PingPong, let it install SuperSU but didn't run it and click OK on the error, turn on Wifi, download data, let it attempt to root but tell me SuperSU wasn't installed, open up SuperSU WITHOUT BACKING OUT OF PINGPONG SO IT DOESN'T PROMPT YOU TO INSTALL SUPERSU AGAIN, click OK on error, switch back to PingPong and click GetRoot and it FINALLY rooted.

What a tremendous pain in the butt.

I would also like to have a flashable zip of the emergency services app. No rush as I know you're busy and thanks for everything you do, I'm loving the rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Ok. I got distracted with CleanROM Ultra Clean Edition. I'll try to get it this weekend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] twiz0r:
You should let me test it so I can test side by side since I currently have 2 s6s in my possession until next week lmaoooo.

Of course I'm jk bud
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
The battery hounds say the battery is good, better than now.

I need to make a couple changes then I will post a final CRUL Build this weekend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] JAYNO20:
Will that build be deodexed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dang69:
That's pretty cool. If the battery hounds are correct we'll hardly need a battery at all! This performance is all the more amazing when you take into account that about half that time is over hill and dale to our beautiful forest setting where 4G is something out of a sci-fi story.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Highly unlikely.

I just want to give a brief primer on odex vs /de-odex...

Odex = Optimized Dalvik Execution Code

DE-Odex = De-Optimized Dalvik Execution code.

When people as for de-odex I dont think they full relalize that you are asking to de optimize the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] thestinkinggenius:
Now that everything is switching to ART does it even matter?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] sam298:
Will Samsung theme store work with this ROM? Do we have to sideload? Can someone confirm? I like to use dark theme. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Kinda... Your still changing the file structure and layout from optimzied to de-optimzed then converting it to ART. etc etc

I dont see / understand what people are looking for with a de-odex ROM? Its been baffling me for years now.

Theme store is fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jparasita:
Theme store works fine and you can flash any of the themes available!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Ok, I did think of one advantage, the ROM size will be a a little bit smaller.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] RockyCJC:
Not saying that everyone thinks this way, but I think it is one of those things that doesn't matter what it is. If it is something that can be done to the phone that makes it less stock, people naturally want to be able to do it. There may be some advantage to app developers to having a phone deodexed or maybe it is better if you are building from AOSP but ultimately, for the average user, it's not useful.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dopediculous:
Is this an odex or deodex ROM?

thanks :)

Whelp, just put my foot in my mouth by seeing people talking about odex a few posts above mine. The only reason I was asking was because of a MOD that seems to be more successful when flashed on a de-odex ROM... *shrug
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] stealyourface1:
This rom is Odex

Badass rom! I left the n6 with you Scott, battery life increased dramatically with this!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] golfinglenn:
Bahahaha, just installed this rom and first thing I noticed is after install the optimizing apps list went from 327 to 9. LOVE IT!!!!!

Thank you Scott, you are a true champ!!!!

And is this correct, after installing all my apps and settings are still there where I left them, just all the junk disappeared? If so that is the best custom rom install ever.

Glenn
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Yes, check out CleanROM Lite if you want a slightly cleaner phone with longer lasting battery!

Yes and no... The optimizing apps means you did a dirty flash and it only needed to update 9 apps.

Because you dirty flashed, yes, you will just see the bloat I removed and will benefit from optimizations of CleanROM. All while keeping everything in tact.

Thats why I say yes and no.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Its called CMas. Just flash it in flashfire.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] golfinglenn:
To clean flash this (still getting terrible battery drain and want to start fresh), go into settings, restore phone, then set up as new, load all pingpong, flashfire, cleanrom, etc and go from there? Also, if I want to use this phone with my gear watch will the lite version not work, or??

Thanks,

Glenn
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Yes

The light version will work just fine. You just need to manually download the app from the Samsung Store.

please guys tell me if the back up i made before flashing cleanrom can be flashed back with the same steps followed to flash clean rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] brholt6:
I would assume so, but I've never done it. If your phone is laggy, your best bet would be to Odin back to stuck using the steps in the thread I originally gave you. However, if you want to try and flash your back up you should find your answer here:

Weird Pretty much rock solid and fast for everyone else. Not a single complaint of any of these types.

Wonder what the disconnect is? Hmmmm BSOD on a phone. I never even heard of that, lol :silly:

EDIT: Firmware?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gigatopiloto:
I'm on the latest firmware. I was asking on the troubleshooting section because for example: double press home for camera takes up to 5 sec. When loading games I have to wait a couple of seconds after the game finishes loading because the phone becomes unresponsive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Bxrider117:
I had this same problem and for me it stemmed from loading a titanium backup from my only phone on this s6. I wound up clearing the cache on my phone and then rebooting. I then made a new backup and then reloaded a clean version of the rom and loading the newer backup of my apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gigatopiloto:
I flashed CleanRom lite and its been awesome so far. I will report if the phone becomes laggy again. Thanks scrosler
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] RyanTX:
Is there any way to remove the low battery notification? The sound drives me nuts.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] mattkelly:
It's been great, save for this one issue. Oh, and the "B" stands for BLACK in this case. I used to have deep sleep issues like this on my OG Droid. Impossible to replicate the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] musicfreak190:
Hey [MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION], thanks for the perfect ROM. I have a request that I would like to here your opinion on. Samsung decided to not include a Cast Screen quick toggle option because they instead put their "screen pinning" option which is only good for Samsung TV's (no chromecast). Any way you could add this to this stock odexed ROM? Or possibly edit the screen pinning toggle to make it Cast Screen? Not sure how involved that would be.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Screen Pinning is an Android 5.0x Feature. Not a Samsung specific feature.

Is screen mirroring the same thing as Cast Screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] musicfreak190:
I am an idiot.

I meant to say screen mirroring no screen pinning.

It is the same.. but it only works for Samsung TV's. Stock Android has a toggle to cast the screen to Chromecast.

Now this can still be done through the Chromecast app.. But I hate how Samsung didn't include this as it is build into 5.0 from Google.

Instead they replace it with Screen Mirroring which is for Samsung Smart TV's only. Such an Apple move.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] JAYNO20:
I was hoping to see this as well. One less app I'd have to install if it was already baked in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jewbydoo:
I'm excited to try this rom. Everyone's reports of improved battery are a very attractive draw.

Before I take the plunge: does FlashFire leave internal storage intact? Downloads, picture, videos, etc. All these are backed up elsewhere. I mean, the .zip we flash is copied to internal storage, but I just want to make sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] JaeKay:
Yes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
That was a lame move by Samsung.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] eyekyu:
yay no more adjusting my phones volume when i connect via headphone jack!!!!! #merica
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] eyekyu:
i would get a "warning" for listening music at high volumes, and everytime i connect my phone i would have to re-adjust the volume. idk if its part of the OE2 update and something on ur end, but the warning is gone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jewbydoo:
Flashed the ROM. Fast and stable so far, battery seems to have improved as well. Will report after a few days of use.

Funny thing, however. I'm in Illinois and there seems to be a Verizon outage across most of the northern part of the state. I was about ready to get mad at the ROM, then I saw friends complaining on Facebook haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sykobt:
Not a Verizon SIM card errors?

Ok, I have used Odin to clean install back to OE2 stock, then pingpong root and then clean install both 1.1 and 1.5 twice for each. Every time it reboots after I install CleanROM it says that my SIM is not a verizon SIM and I can only continue with wifi. If I do that and go through to the lockscreen and open settings, it says cleanrom 1.1 or 1.5, but no cell service. If I reboot after that it will take me to the phone activation screen and just sit there processing. It never shows that there is any cell service. Another reboot gives the same result as the second reboot. But when I Odin back to stock again, everything works fine again. I put the .zip on the root partition and the storage partition, same result. So, I'm back to OE2 rooted hoping someone has a solution. Thanks in advance!! I don't have screenshot's but I've been following and doing exactly what he does in the video and same results 4 times. Twice with 1.5, then twice with 1.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] holla420:
Have u tried to use another sim? Could be a bad sim. Which ping-pong r u using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Absolution75:
just a heads up to some more adventurous users

if you are rooted on the original firmware (OC3), you can use flashfire to flash to clean rom. The phone will boot and tell you that your sim isn't valid. Go into download mode then and flash just the OE2 retail firmware (http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/general/verizon-s6-stock-restore-files-t3096000) via pda mode in odin. There doesn't seem to be a need to odin back to stock, take the OTA, then root with pingpong root again, then flash cleanrom.

I forgot to wipe my phone via flashfire the first time, but it all worked fine except i still had bloat i believe. I just used flashfire again and wiped - good as new.

also, thanks scott! this rom increased my battery life like crazy. Every day around 10PM i'd hit 10%. It looks like I won't even be down to 50% by the same time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sykobt:
I gues I shouldn't have said I flashed back to "stock" , but back to OE2 purely to start fresh,sorry. I'e been using Ping-pong beta6.apk from here.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] twiz0r:
Ummmm that's still there AFAIK. I'm on lite and it's there also. You do know the warning only comes up the first time after a reboot?

It's the one thing that still drives me crazy. Have the warning removed and to have it save the headphone volume at max so I don't have to raise it every time I get in my car or plug in my amp/dac.

I'm really shocked that no one has created a mod for this.

I hear that rooting wont happen. True? What about CleanRom for 5.1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
No one knows untill it happens. I am not a speculator... I deal with facts...

Fact is this...

1. Others than me can extract firmware bits for the O/S version

2. I can extract O/S version for the firmware bits.

Thats all we know right now... Dont stress it untill it happens :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sykobt:
Well, this is emberrassing...

Ok, I'm an idiot. :o I was in such a hurry to get this ROM installed that I downloaded the AOC3 .zip instead of the OE2 .zip. Luckily I didn't do any real damage.

I got the correct .zip and it worked first try. Thanks for the help, it was your comment that made me double check everything. I'm psyched to have it figured out and looking forward to the improved battery life.

Scott, thanks for the ROM, I've been using my phone since six am with pretty decent use, no charging and I'm still at 80%!!!
