I'm probably missing something since on the surface it seems like the difference are in the included apps (chrome vs browser, Email vs gmail, etc.). However you mentioned that some things are different at the source level.

So basically you're saying that a ROM built from source released by google (aosp) is different from a Nexus ROM?

Since I have no idea how to code, have some basic knowledge of Linux commands, and have never fathomed building a ROM there are some fundamentals that I'm missing hence my questions. Some of this may be elementary to you guys but having this knowledge helps me help others and gives me a better understanding how things work.

Thanks for taking the time to entertain my questions.

How are you guys experiencing the battery life? I had 100% at 12 PM now it's 3:23 PM and it's on 64%. I haven't even used the phone that much, 1 hour screen time only. I don't feel like this reflects the size of the battery (3000mah)

I have it on lowest brightness, I always kill the apps right after use and it just keeps draining fast.
[G4 General] mtva24:
Hard to say. Personally, I'm struggling and I can't get over 3 hours SOT. I own other phones and I do that routinely. Other people are getting ridiculous SOT, so I guess its all subjective. This thread should help answer your question.

This is my first day off use after a full charge, I'm pretty happy so far.

I've been unplugged for 7 hours and I'm at 46%.

2.5 hours of screen time

With the screen off:

1.25 hours of phone calls over Bluetooth

1 hour of listing to music over Bluetooth

Connected to my Moto360 the entire time
[G4 General] Hanozy:
I got 3 hours and 46 minutes of SOT from 100 to 0, I had 0% brightness most of the time and only had wifi and 4g on, nothing else. This kind of upsets me, those are not good stats at all...
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
The battery needs a good few days and a few cycles of discharge and charge for it to become most effective. Wait a week before making any conclusive decisions on battery usage.

Bear in mind this is a large hi-res display, so watch your brightness if you want to save battery.

For me battery life has been great. I easily get a full day out of it with around 3 hours SOT and medium usage.

Wow. I'm pretty jealous of you. When i got my LG G4, on my second day, it only lasted for about 8 hours!!! Even though i had Bluetooth off, data off, 3/4G off, location off, battery saver on and brightness on auto. I am so disappointed with my phone as i am having to charge it in the day and sometimes through the night and i've only had it for a month.
[G4 General] spritear:
Screen on

Can LG G4 screen on over 4h?
[G4 General] wadamean:
I am having great battery life
[G4 General] ccinbrainsurgery:
Good battery life

Getting through a working day easily. It could even last longer if I was more careful about closing the apps and all those usual battery saving tips. I just leave most of the stuff on... Bluetooth, WiFi, Location... Screen brightness is set on auto and it's plenty bright for my use even outdoors. :good:
[G4 General] geoff5093:
Did you even look at screen shots posted in this thread? And SOT varies greatly depending on usage. One person may get 4.5 hours, while another only gets 2.5.

LightlyCleaned/Rooted ROM - OE2

How's it going guys! Since no one else has released a ROM yet for OE2 I'd release what I made for myself :) This is lightly cleaned, removing what I found to be unnecessary.

PLEASE READ!

You're going to have to be on OC3 right now to flash this, since OE2 itself doesn't have root yet! You can be deodexed/odexed, running a custom ROM, whatever, it'll work. HOWEVER, you will need to flash an additional package with ODIN or whatever tool you use, since the modem/recovery/boot(/kernel)/cm/sboot was updated. You can't use FlashFire for this right now, since it does not detect the cm/sboot files within the package, and they need to be updated for the phone to boot. I tried updating them with a zip package, however it didn't stick. So alas, ODIN it is, for now... So, flash this before booting into the ROM for the first time, by holding down Power + Home + Volume Down until you see the Download Screen. Let go, then press Volume Up. Flash accordingly, making sure to put the *.tar package in the AP section..

This allows you to be on OE2, and maintain root :)

I'm not responsible if anything bad happens.

Quick Step-By-Step: 1. Flash the ROM using FlashFire. Then immediately after it is done... 2. Flash the TAR package using ODIN 3. Party :)

HINT (thanks [MENTION=5523558]coton[/MENTION]!): You can change the Reboot Settings within FlashFire so that once it's done doing its thing, it can automatically reboot into download mode :) Just select my package in "Flash ZIP or OTA", then once configured at the bottom click "Reboot". Select "Download" and you are good to go!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Powell730:
So does this still make us lose root? But prior to flashing you've cleaned it a bit?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] JediMindTrixx:
Looks great. Can't wait to try!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] trailblazer101:
Nope, it's rooted :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Powell730:
Nice! How'd you manage that without an updated version of pingpong? So this essentially gives us the OTA update with root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] TechBSwift:
You sir are the man!!! Thank you donation coming. So I'm assuming once we use this update method we can flash any future rooted oe2 roms with flashfire?

Which odin version do you use on the s6?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] trailblazer101:
Here's a long answer, for ya :) I started on a OC3 rooted ROM. I modified the OE3 update package to allow flashing this on a rooted build. Flashed it, then extracted the new system files (as they were now patched/updated). I manually patched the boot.img and modem.bin files by placing the originals from the OC3 ODIN package, and running "applypatch" on them with the patch provided from the update package. Patching the recovery was more tricky, because of the way the update package was set up. So I had to use the included sh script to patch and install the latest recovery, and then extract it using adb shell and "cat ....". I had to open that pulled recovery then in a hex editor because it included a lot of empty space at the end. After that, I confirmed the sha1 matched what it was supposed to be as mentioned in the updater-script from the official package, and it did!

Thank you :) and yup!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Powell730:
Where's your donation link?

Also, once we flash the ODIN package; I assume we just boot into the OC3 rom to flash the OC2 via flashfire?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] trailblazer101:
If you wanted to donated the 'Donate to Me' button underneath my profile (to the left of this post!) would work :) Thank you for your thanks!

Here's the steps, that'll break down simply and put on the OP for everyone 1. Flash the ROM using FlashFire. Then immediately after it is done... 2. Flash the TAR package using ODIN 3. Party :)

Why are you re-uploading the downloads, is there a problem with the previous ones, as I just flashed the odexed rom, then odined the update tar, and have just booted up, everything seems fine so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Powell730:
Think he's just using a different server.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] TechBSwift:
he is using a different server, he had loaded the file to his dropbox but it looks like that server isn't going to work. I was able to download the package from his dropbox though :).... This guy is a beast, make sure you guys donate to him, he has created some really cool edge features already and I'm sure there's more to come. If he ever learns how to incorporate the note edge "edge functionality " I'm going to kiss him lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] trailblazer101:
You are correct, DropBox shuts off your Public links if they get too much attention. and since you guys went ham, rightfully so ;) (lol), they shut me down. So Mega it is, and we're half way there! Also I'm glad to hear it worked for those of you who were able to download it before!

oh and [MENTION=2743933]2swizzle[/MENTION] I'm guessing your referring to being able to have the 'feeds' while the screen is on? I've looked into it, and there was a lot of code removed that enabled that from the Note Edge to our phones-- the framework classes that incorporated it are basically stubs now. Although I could try adding it back in, in my personal opinion it'll be kind of... eh. it's not like the Note Edge where because of the more distinct curves it feels like a separate screen, of sorts, and it kind of just works. But with the S6 Edge since it's not as pronounced, it'd be more intrusive, make the aspect ratio weird, and decrease the amount of available screen size, when some already consider what we have is small, when comparing to the phablets of increasing popularity.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] coton:
Working great so far, haven't found a single bug.

For those of you who haven't downloaded yet, I noticed that with FlashFire when you set it up to flash the rom, you can set the reboot option to go directly to download mode so you're ready for the odin update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] trailblazer101:
[MENTION=5523558]coton[/MENTION] you sir/mam are a terrific human being. I forgot to mention that great little trick on the OP, I'll update it immediately! Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Powell730:
You guys wipe or dirty flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] trp3383:
I'm on CleanRom now, will flashing this wipe everything and have to setup phone from scratch?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] coton:
I wiped using the default FlashFire settings.

---------- Post added at 06:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

Then used SmartSwitch to restore my previous backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Powell730:
Does smartswitch keep homescreen settings etc? You use the android app or pc app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] coton:
Yes it does, and it restores all of your preferences, photos, music, etc. It will also restore your apps, but not the app data. I use the PC version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Brickman221:
I just have a few Questions, does this fix the extremely annoying "Cell Standby" battery drain issue? I would do anything to fix this. Second, when Samsung pay comes out, would having root hurt my chances of being able to use it?

Delete
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] coton:
Has anyone installed the Deodex version to see how it is running? I read on another thread that deodex does not place nice with some of the S6 Edge apps, has anyone run into any problems?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jsminnis:
If I'm on oe2 can I still Odin back to oc3 then root then flash this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] coton:
That's exactly what I did, I Odin'd back to OC3, then rooted & installed FlashFire, then flashed the rom and the Odin update.

---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

If we want to go from your odexed to deodexed, can we just flash the deodexed using FlashFire, or do we have to go back to OC3 and start all over again ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] TechBSwift:
From now on you can just flash everything in flashfire

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] IV97:
A couple weeks ago i read a story about Samsung pay only not working if know was tripped. So rooting would not hurt our chances as of right now. As far as the legitimacy of the source, or weather Samsung cracks down on it when it is released, I do not know :/. But, as of right now, only if knox is tripped :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] coton:
GREAT!

Trailblazer, which version do you think runs smoother, odex or deodex?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Powell730:
Deodex is significantly smaller. That's always good ☺
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] TechBSwift:
the beauty about the note edge is when you go into an app like video, web, camera, etc the edge functionality goes away and the current app your running expands to the entire screen size. It sounds like to create would be a pain, so I would suggest don't even waste your time lol. Your time is to valuable, and there's so many other things you could create :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] TechBSwift:
After using the method has anyone check knox? is everyone still showing 0x0 for knox?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Powell730:
for those who flashed, how long did odin take? im sitting at about 2 minutes without the typical green status bar moving.. starting to panic. last thing i have is NAND write start.

ugh.. im getting real nervous lol... it clearly was not doing anything after several minutes... so i closed out odin and opened it again and now it wont get past Setupconnection... im afraid to restart my phone since im still in download mode and my computer/odin is recognizing it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] coton:
Odin went quickly,, no pauses with the green status bar.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Powell730:
crap... im nervous as hell i screwed up my phone.

what version of odin did you use?

EDIT: got it.... wheeew.. i was sweating there for a while. IDK which part fixed it but I downloaded ODIN 3.10 (was using 3.09), then I held down power+volume down+home to re enter download mode... this time when i got into download mode i had some text in the top left corner which was not there when i entered download mode from flashfire... im still sitting at the verizon bootup screen but my odin flashed successfully as well as the rom prior to ODIN so i think im prolly ok.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] coton:
Anyone getting a FC with Theme Store using deodex rom?

---------- Post added at 02:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 AM ----------

3.10.6

Are you doing the Odin back to OC3, or the update Odin to get into OE2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Powell730:
i was trying to odin into OE2... im good now, setting up the rom. do i need to odin back to OC3 for any reason?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] coton:
No, you're good to go now! You only needed to Odin back to OC3 if you were originally on OE2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] TechBSwift:
Please check your knox setting for me.. Is it still 0x0?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Mayze23:
I used Odin 3.10.6. Dirty flashed the odex version, set reboot to download on flashfire, installed Odin package and all went as smooth as silk.

Donation sent :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] coton:
Several other deodex S6 roms have suffered the FC in the Theme Store. So I think I'll have to go back to odex until that's fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Powell730:
let me get everything setup and i will check.. i tried to use smart switch to make the transition easy but for some reason smart switch is telling me i don't have a backup to restore from... i tried manually selecting it etc.. nothing. once i get it setup ill restart and check.

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ----------

are you going to dirty or clean flash from deodex to odex??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] coton:
Knox is still OK.

I clean flashed back to Odex.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Powell730:
2 things.. how do we check Knox on this phone? I thought it was in download mode but I don't see it.

2. When trying to find Knox I discovered I can't enter bootloader mode. I assume this is normal because it's locked but just wanted to verify?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] coton:
There are a couple of apps in the Play Store that allow you to check knox. One is Phone Info, by Samsung. The other is Knox Status Samsung.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ChadH42:
Would you mind posting the apps you removed as a separate .zip file? I need Visual Voicemail and a couple of others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mngdew:
I also need the Visual Voice Mail. I didn't realize it was removed from the rom until you mentioned it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] trailblazer101:
I have added a ThemeStore fix to the OP for deodexed, for those suffering from those nasty FCs :)

For those needing apps that were removed... I'll add a flashable zip to the OP of all the apps I removed that you can't find on the PlayStore, momentarily. I don't feel like making an Aroma installer, so just remove from the zip the applications you want to stay removed! ;P

Note: the only application that you can't find on the Play Store, that some people would actually possibly want, is Visual Voice Mail (get Google Voice for those that do, though, it does the same thing, even more powerful, works for all Carriers (just not number porting), and is FREE :3). All the others you can get there... So it's going to be a one man zip, unless someone else says otherwise :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ChadH42:
I've tried Google Voice and prefer vvvm so if you could zip it up I'd be mighty thankful.

Also. Amazon appstore is not in the play store.

Sent from my SM-G925V
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] coton:
Thanks for the ThemeStore fix. Is it best to flash the zip at the same time as the rom, or after first boot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] trailblazer101:
No, it's not, but you can get the latest and greatest version here, instead, which'll work perfectly! :) Amazon AppStore Official Link. I'd suggest taking that route, since the one that came with the ROM is outdated, anyways... But I'll still put it in the zip if ya'll wanted it! Otherwise it'll just be VVM, which I'll do now!

I did it after, personally, but it should work for either! :)

EDIT: just so everyone knows I did post the VisualVoiceMail package then, odexed and deodexed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kheltek:
Thank you for the incredible work. If I am on a stock but rooted build, do I need to fireflash the ROM in order to ODIN the OE2 build or can I skip the ROM step?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] trailblazer101:
If you are on OC3, then you must flash the ROM with FlashFire, and the ODIN package immediately afterwards. The ODIN package does not contain the system files, since my deodexed build isn't (and can't be) Samsung signed, thus both are required. However the ODIN package is important because it contains the updated images for sboot/cm/etc etc etc... :) Good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kheltek:
Thank you again, sir.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jbeitel:
Does any one know if smart lock got fixed on this rom? I used to be able to use trusted devices with my work account locking my phone. But now it's grayed out. Or was there possibly a file removed when debloated?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] TechBSwift:
I believe this is an issue with OE2, I've seen people with on the verizon s6 have the same issue.

Sent from my SM-G925V using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jbeitel:
yeah, it looks like it was changed on OE2 because I froze device policy with titanium and Smart Lock started working again. Well, damnit!

By the way, great ROM trailblazer. Not sure how you managed to patch everything with a locked bootloader but you are fantastic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kizilat:
thanks for this great rom trailblazer101, its fantastic.

Can we flash turkish language pack or enable to choose it at startup, also can we bypass the activation manager bacause if you use another sim with the phone it always shows "sim card not from verizon" warning but when i force it to stop warning goes away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
trchnically, the modem/kernel etc. are signed so with his modifications he was able to make them seperate from the full odin tar..

the updated rom.zip is the way its been done for a while now.. When vzw s5 got lollipop, we had to root it on kk, then flash odin package.. and since ff didnt exist, we had to odin a kk kernel to get back to SS to flash roms then odin back to L kernel for roms to boot lol. was a hassle but always been the only option..

either way, it took me a few tries to get to boot but eventually it worked!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] giobotta:
file won't download. asks if I have mega and I do have the app and an account but just keeps taking me to the browser with a link to go to the play store. help please.

Everything worked out real well. I forgot to wipe and ended up dirty flashing. Once I realized it, I wiped the cache and dalvik. Everything is working flawlessly, thanks for the great work, donation coming shortly.
