Did a Google search for Echoe since I couldn't find it on XDA. S6E_EchoeRomv3_OE3_230515.zip is the latest and I guess Freidrich is not using XDA for support. I registered for the Forum support in case of issues. The download seemed to have two choices. With and without a kernel he uses. I chose the without. About to install it on my TMob S6 Edge and see how it goes. Will try with the simple kernel and patch immediately first prior to first boot, and if no in call audio, will simply reinstall kernel and patch again. Back later with results.

HMMM, guess I will download his kernel too, just to cover all the bases, too. (http://echoerom.com/)

EDIT: Damn....IT WORKS :good::good::good:

!. NO Aroma Installer. I Factory reset only. Did NOT do any other wipes

2. I tried the AE kernel he uses. NO GO.

3. Back to recovery. Install Simple Kernel, followed by Mr X's audio patch. (I/WE owe him major props too, BTW. Just remembered neglected to post that to him. Will do that though.

4. Echoe customizations are in the Settings menu. Much the same look, choices and feel as CarHD ROM setup and choices, including Viper, All in One gestures etc etc.

I can't really answer much else since it is first installing all my apps. So no clue on battery, or weird battery issues, TW lags etc. Major factor is in call audio works. This can ONLY GET BETTER in time :cool:

EDIT 2: It installed Netherlands CSC code for me automatically. PHN. Does NOT appear to affect anything. Make sure you scroll the first screen to get to English. You don't click the screen. Just scroll over Netherlands initial language to get to US English.

LAST EDIT:

A few wonky things even with Nova Launcher running. The KB sensitivity at times is so hyper it

will type strokes with my fingers hovering. The all in one gestures FC's but I can manually install it from Play Store. I liked the inverted apps, and statusbar gradient. Just felt better on CarHD. Going to clean install and try using Nova right out of the box this time. At least International ROMs now proven to run on US Tmobile Variants.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
thats good news right there!

Sounds like the CarHD rom has an edge over Echoe; even though I am no fan of touchwiz stuff, the carhd rom runs perfectly on my phone, so it sound like no compelling reason to run Echoe..

I'll wait to hear how you feel about it after using it for awhile though

thanks for posting your review!:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
After reacquainting myself with Nova, I quit looking back. I like the CarHD ROM better right now, No ROM is perfect, but this one has me smiling for the first time (No second time). First was opening the S6 Edge Box back on April 3rd.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
i tried to like touch wizz on this phone, but, it doesnt compare to nova, action, or several other launchers, so i totally agree with you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] desiplayer:
Does anyone know if the international ROMs let you enter an unlock code by dialing #7465625*638*#. Can someone try and report back?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] rsxperfection:
I took the plunge and switch to Simplrom V1 from CarHD. So far the install went pretty smoothly as per first post. I found that (For ME) this rom is actually more snappy on my phone than CarHD. I am also trying to like TouchWiz but found it laggy on any custom rom that i flashed, On this one tho, is the fastest TouchWiz i have tried (with no theme). I still got to try battery and other things but so far so good. No error at all.

I may still switch back to Nova just because of the grid options and such but we will see.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
I'm betting within 2 weeks we will see 5.1.1 update. I have a little birdie that is approx 75% correct on these matters..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Trev420:
The link for the patch in OP isnt working. Anyone have another?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
which patch?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
If you are talking about the audio patch, I have a copy, but since the developer seems to have pulled the link, I cannot officially post the file publically. I have an Android file host account, and uploaded the file, but the account then makes it look like I'm the developer of the file. NOT wishing to get in trouble for plagiarism, I think legally if you PM me I can send a copy of the audio patch file.

EDIT: OP updated with working link to audio patch file
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952614440

Found this new link in public for the audio patch file

Will edit the OP to reflect new link.

This stock mood kernel includes the audio patch and batt life seems good atm

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
That kernel does NOT work for the S6Edge. It works supposedly on S6. To date, you still need to flash the Simple kernel and the audio patch I referenced in OP. Been there. Tried that. This is why I spent a day playing with all this stuff, to discover one could get the audio to work, if they flash separately the audio patch. I did discover i could flash any International ROM, then chain flash the simple kernel prior to first bootup. Then after setting the ROM, run the audio patch. There are ROMs newer that state audio patch file included specifically built in to ROM. I have not tried any of those ROMs yet.

Unless you are stating that that specifically does support audio on an International ROM and the S6Edge, specifically. f so, I stand corrected :)

EDIT: THIS ONE supposedly does. It's version 2A

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952613402

EDIT2: Works, will reupdate OP :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
yep, you were correct, that unikernal version 1 did NOT work on any of the S6 Roms I tried it on yesterday, but glad to hear this one does.

I flashed a rom in the t mobile S6 thread, called Ozop yesterday, and its awesum!! I used the simple kernel and the 2 patches, and it worked perfectly, but I will trying the unikernel verson 2 on the next S6/International rom I try!

ny reason to flash this new kernel insted of simple kernel and the 2 patches, or are they about the same?

Thanks for testing all this stuff out bro!:good::good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Thanks back. I haven't had much chance to test anything but Audio working. Too much time being spent on flashing ROMs. Will try your suggestion.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
I flashed OZOP. I see why you liked it. The animations installed reminiscent of ROMs from my bygone including the CRT screen off. I did read OP intentionally slowed the animations down to 1.5x in developer options. I had to edit them to .5x simply to access anything. The animations seemed to take over editing or inputting anything during the ROM setup of just downloading all the programs it was restoring. After changing to .5X was able to complete setting up stuff. Also had a ton of FC when I only wiped Both Caches and System and did NOT ALSO wipe data. OP I think stated to wipe data too. Should have listened :)

The new Universal kernel works, although I had better results installing it AFTER I setup the ROM. Had a lot of FC's when I tried flashing after the initial install, PRIOR to first boot. Just an FYI.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] lilmikey201:
THANK YOU SO ****ING MUCH!!!!!!!!!lol

just installed echoe rom,such a good rom

this needs to be a sticky or something,,so happy! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
yep, so far, I have always flashed the simple kernel after initial setup, and after reading this, I will continue to do that

so you had sound and gps using the new universal kernel...good to hear!

I always do a full wipe when switching roms, otherwise its gonna be FC city!

So, it sounds like we can now flash any international/S6 rom out there now, using the Universal kernel!

Now, if only we could get AOSP to work, but since Exnos isnt open sourced, probably wont ever see CM or anything AOSP..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
I think we will see AOSP/CM. Just takes time. The tradeoff though with Snapdragon is well worth it. The speed alone differences is amazing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] lilmikey201:
mine went from like 80 to 0 brought up battery warning then died, had to charge it

idk whats up with that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
when that happens, just reboot and it will be back to normal

its a kernel glitch
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Chase79:
I've followed the same steps listed here several times trying to put carhdrom on my tmobile edge. Each time everything works except making calls. Call ends immediately after pressing send. I tried to go into more setting under phone option but get 'network or sim card error'. Any thoughts on what would cause this or how to fix?? Data is fine, just can't send a call!! Any help is greatly appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] lilmikey201:
i cant find wifi calling or VOIP

idk if its cus the international roms

im on echorom do you know if i can add at least wifi calling ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
No Wifi calling on International ROMs. Never has been. Doubt ever will be. It's a proprietary Tmobile and I believe possibly one or two other US carriers I have heard will have this. BUT,,,,,,,never seen any International ROM have this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Only suggestion is a total wipe. Meaning Factory reset, followed by wipeing BOTH caches, along with system and data in TWRP. Flash the ROM. Setup the ROM without flashing any kernels or patches. THEN, go back and either use the original kernel and audio patch, flashed in that order, or try the new Universal Kernel which includes audio patch.

I have had zero issues making calls, audio, or anything when flashed in the correct order. DO NOT CHAIN FLASH all at once. My Go To ROM has been CarHD and Now OZOP which is similar, but more animated as the best way to describe the differences although many animations can be enabled in CarHD options I believe. And I'm a Tmobile user with the S6Edge 128GB model.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] lilmikey201:
ughh that hurts -_- lol

guess ill just switch roms when i need to use it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Chase79:
K, only thing I haven't tried is NOT flashing tmobile kernel before first boot. Will give that a go and report back.. thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
here's the next one we need to try...you go first???

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
LOL...I actually downloaded that a while ago. Never got around to trying it out. I keep expecting 5.1.1 to pop up any day now so I may wait for that next flash....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
well, when 5.1 comes out, it will just be plain jane stock, and it will be awhile until there are any 5.1 roms, so I don't care when/if it comes out, especially since there wont be any new features with it that I care about..

and, knowing t mobile, it will be a long time until 5.1 shows up anyways, so I wouldn't hold your breath!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
OK...I got bored so I am waiting for initial start screen as I type. I saw the post that even though this is a TMobile ROM, one still needs to flash the incall audio. Just got my start screen. Will get back.

One thing I noticed is this uses ext2 formatting for system and data and ext4 for cache. Just noticed that during the initial flashing. Not sure another developer does this or that's a new thing being used by all, or just this developer. Never noticed this on prior ROMs. Just an FYI.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
any chance that would screw up your partitions or using TWRP?

does it have a cool boot animation?

All of a sudden, when I restored my Carhd 2.2 nand today, i kept getting that dreaded "google play services isnt compatible with your phone" error..tried everything but couldnt get it fixed, so went back to a different nand..

Let me know how this rom looks and works; which kernel did you flash with it?

thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
OK...this is both objective and subjective. I installed using the stock kernel which I'm surprised did NOT have in call audio working since it sure looked like the version Universal kernel I referenced in OP. So, I did reflash the audio patch and in call audio worked.

I am NOT a big Benchmark person. I typically run Antutu initially after first setting up a ROM, just to get a feel if something seems really fast or really slow. The ROM seemed super snappy. And without changing any settings I ran the benchmark and got just under 66K. That is the fastest I have seen to date without overclocking or changing anything.

I have gotten that same Google play services error a few days ago and I think it was using a TWRP backup, but can't say for sure which one. I typically make an initial TWRP backup when I finish setting up a ROM, then make another one after pretty much getting stuff the way I like it. I'm into redundancy is all. Can't remember which backup gave that error but when I used the *other* one, no error. I thought it was just me, but since you mentioned this, I guess some rare combination of stuff can cause it.

The animations are tame compared to OZOP, but it's not stock. Can't say much else. I'm not a big PIE control fan. I enabled it and made the mistake of using the bottom of the screen to enable the controls. That seems to kill Nova launcher app drawer from running, so I had to basically restart the ROM, then quickly access the app drawer icon before the Pie controls enabled, to get to Axis Unity settings to disable Pie.

Bottom line...very snappy feeling. But seems very stock short of enabling center clock and date. OZOP seemed to be eating my battery really fast which got me to try this. Right now I want to see how my battery goes with this ROM.

I'm going to run a TWRP backup right now, then try a restore to verify that this combination EXT2 EXT4 formatting isn't an issue. Just never seen it before :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
he's supposedly releasing a theming app for the Axis rom with version 3, due any day, so we will see..if its pretty stock looking, then I might wait for that version, as themeing stuff is what I like the most..

Did you try "blueactive" governor, with Simple kernel, and raise the i/0 from 256 to 2048? Thats helped my battery and snappiness on OZOP so far..

I never cared much for the PIE mod either, so I know what you mean.

In the past, when I got that stupid Play services error, a reflash of the kernel fixed it, but not this time; I hate to lose the CarHD rom, but until I can fix it, or a new version comes out, I will have to use something else.

Let me know if your twrp backup/restore works with that goofy partition setup up; for your sake, I hope it does!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
TWRP did backup and restore, except everything is now ext4 and it dropped 10K to 55k on the benchmark and acts slightly slower. No errors. I used an app called DiskInfo where in the settings you can specify it to tell you how each partition is formatted. New app for me. Kinda neat tool. I may go back to CarHD or OZOP and just wait for the newer version you mentioned is due out soon.

I'll try the settings you mention. Have you had a chance to play with these mem management build prop tweaks supposedly fixes memleak?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61260005&postcount=80. I briefly tried but didn't subjectively feel any difference. Going to try being more objective with seeing how mem management reading are before and after those build prop edits.

EDIT: Posted over on OP thread questions about TWRP reformatting using EXT4 which changes the dynamics of how he set his ROM up.

EDIT: Sheesh. Phoned seemed back to super snappy this morning running the twrp back up. See attached. Fasted I have had to date total stock onboard ROM based kernel, and never touched any governors or tweaks of any sort.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
which TWRP backup are you running that seemed super snappy?

Frankly, I would't mess with the mem management build prop tweaks, as I have zero complaints with how snappy this phone is now; these "alleged" memory leaks dont bother me one bit, and I am always concerned that the "fix" for things like this are more likely to break things than fix them.."If it aint broke, dont fix it"!

If I recall, the note 4 roms all used EXT4 partitions, and, if you had one of those phones, you know that you could flash anything and everything , and never have any issues...You couldnt brick a note 4 if you tried! Maybe ext4 partitions will lead to AOSP/CM for this phone, which would be fantastic!

I miss CarHD, but until a new version comes out, I am not gonna deal with that Play Services Error on Version 2...OZOP will be my rom for now, until the new version of the rom you are on now comes out, and I will try that one...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
TWRP backup of AXIS V2 I just installed is the super snappy ROM right now. NOT ONE IOTA OF A LAG. It's like a super charger got attached. I rarely get that impressed. Just hope it stays this way. Can't wait for themeing. I did apply the Beach Theme from theme store just to test stock themeing ability is all. Not particularly a favorite. Just a test. CarHD wins theming. OZOP wins animations. Axis RLS2 wins speed.

These are not to be taken as trolling for any one ROM. My standard disclaimer. Waiting for the developer to get back to me on the EXT2/EXT4 questions in general.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
have you tried this rom yet? I've wanted to try it for awhile, and now there is a version 4 out, so it might be time..

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/development/vnrom-s6-g920fxxu1aocv-v1-0-aroma-t3088154

EDIT: What kernel did you use to flash Axis?

thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Used stock Kernel that was packaged with ROM. Downloading now that ROM you mentioned V4. Been wanting to try that too. Took the day off. Saw Spy. Pretty funny......Anyways....battery with Axis is something I haven't seen since the 5.1.1 leak. 85% battery charged up 6 hours ago. Did listen to milk music for an hour while working out. Was on airplane mode during the movie, but still very impressive.

EDIT: What's weird is this kernel is labeled S6 Unikernel V002agl which is strikingly similar to the Unikernel I posted with the audio patch file included. But I had to flash that patch file for audio to work. Maybe just a coincidence on labeling. No, it is the same. Very weird....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
That Spy movie was supposed to be really funny; not a melissa mccarthy fan, but always like a good comedy!

I flashed the VN rom today; FC city until I flashed Simple kernel and the gps/audio fix, but after that, it runs like a champ!

It works with the Alliance Framework too, but that ends up over riding the built in vr rom tweak app, and 3 minit battery mod, so keep that in mind.

I'll try the Axis rom shortly too; did you have to flash the GPS fix and the audio fix, or just the audio Fix?

does Axis have any visual tweaks at all, or just plain stock? Maybe I will flash the Alliance Framework to use until that themeing app is released..

I found this material dark theme that worked with it too; its a zip file to flash in recovery; I'll post it here so you can try it..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Thanks for the zip. I much prefer dark theming to Lollipop white. Yeah, I flashed the ROM and got the same FC barrage. Went back to recovery and tried the Unikernel I referenced in OP which works like a champ. Booted right back up and GPS works, audio works. No issues so far. First thing I noticed was the 3minit battery mod which I like personally. I have flashed the alliance framework on a number of ROMs. While I like Alliance, I hate the initial white on white issues I have experienced. Probably fixed in updates by now. Just haven't had time to look. Just noticed this developer has somehow gotten guest mode to work in 5.0.2

I thought that was strictly a 5.1.1 update. Haven't had a chance to play with settings yet although I want to test your attachment on this ROM as soon as it gets done setting up and I run a nandroid backup. Thanks for the suggestion of a ROM as well as the attachment. I guess I qualify as a for sure flashaholic :cool:

EDIT: I'm not a Melissa McCarthy fan either. But It was hilarious with Jude Law and Jason Statham in the movie too. My wife wanted to see it. Gotta keep the boss happy....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
+10000 on keeping the boss happy..

Its funny that no one else is bothering to post in this thread!

I'm really happy that all of a sudden, we went from no roms to flash, to virtually every s6 domestic/international/s6Edge rom out there..I was close to trading this phone to my wife to get my note 4 back, but now, its so much more fun!

If only we get AOSP/CM somehow...

Should I bother with Axis tonight, or just wait till that new version drops?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Wait for the new version. Maybe others are just looking on and trying without posting. Don't know. But it's nice to try this stuff out.

OH...that material.zip file broke my Theming. Nothing would download and install. All sorts of weird error messages after running on and on. I tried installing on top without wiping and no go. Fresh clean install and Theme store now correctly downloads and installs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
its funny how different phones handle the same file differently..

ok, hoping that axis update drops soon, or will have to go back to a "regular" t mobile rom like Alliance :D

EDIT: I apologize; I forgot to tell you that you were supposed to have the "Urban" theme running before you flash that theme file..I guess you need that to make it work right..

Sorry about that!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
LOL....used to breaking stuff. I did try going back to default theme too. Guess that's why I didn't see anything themed :)

I'm testing a theme called Horizon which is nice. I'll try the Urban then material dark switch. OH, this VN ROM is nice too. Got an initial 66.5K antutu and that's right after all my apps installed and the phone was running warm. usually running the benchmark when the screen is off and the phone is cool is best, IMHO. Nice animations. NOT as fancy as OZOP but more than Axis. I usually run Nova Prime, but going to try to stay TW for now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
I think I like OZOP the best right now, until something comes around that can be themed as much or more..

so you have switched from simple kernel to that unified version 2 now for these "Weird" roms? I'll have to try that on my next flash..Simple is supposed to have a version 5 days ago, but still a no show..can't complain at these prices, eh?

I've tried to stick with touch jizz, but I always go back to Nova Prime...good luck with trying to though...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Just FYI ON VN I am using the original simple kernel/audio patch combo. BTW the one that is labeled R4Tis actually R5T according to settings about device.

EDIT: What tweak app are you using changing I/O. Been a long time SetCPU user and set the Governor you mentioned is all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
its in the Synapse app, after changing the governors, just swipe over a few more notches, and its there..make sure you hit the checkmarks to confirm, and then there is a little "windows like" icon on top to hit, and another checkmark comes up to confirm all the changes..reboot and check to see if it stuck..

I see what you are saying about what it says in the settings menu; it cant be version 5, as in his threads, he doesnt say he has released it yet..

who knows though!
