I was certain it had sound controls in a previous version which were activated through synapse. I am unable to even get synapse to work with it anymore. I'd gladly take your recommendation for kernels as they are all much the same to me. Unikernel 6 always worked really well for me but its an old base now

[MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] Hi mate!I would like to try your rom....i'm using now mako rom because is simple fast and stable,i don t like many options and also is full debloaded.....how is your rom and are you using some tweaks for the ram,battery and speed?Tnx a lot mate :)
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] sanders132:
Yeah I agree unikernel seems to be the best overall performance. A lot of people like arters kernel but I've had nothing but problems with it and I've tested it extensively. Unikernel seems to be the only kernel that can keep up with my heavy usage without lag, lockups and hiccups.

V5a was my favorite and I'm testing it right now on your latest rom.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Gboss01:
Yeah the All Blacks are like the SA cricket team,famous for choking in finals hehe hehe

Looks like we in a for a cracking RWC no matter who you support :)

---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 AM ----------

IMHO there are only 2 kernels I always find myself reverting back to. UniKernel 8 and Adams Kernel. Both are stable and are a great balance between performance and battery.

I'm not saying the other kernels out there aren't great too but these are the 2 I always revert back to.

The others all have issues on my phone like random reboots :( might be the kernel in combination with the apps I use, I don't know and haven't bothered to try find out which it is as everything works great on uni or adam.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Arters kernel seems to have been using a lot of interesting features, and other complicated tasks. Though, I just hate that it uses one type of recovery, its taken a few commits from a kernel I've used and followed in the past by AndreiLux. His Kernel is out there for the S6 and has really good audio features that I'd love to include in my rom. Basically it has hardware control over the DAC. But... There is just one bug that I know peeps will complain about and not like, and that is the display color option 'cinema' doesn't work. It has artefacts.. But hey, maybe I'll try it out for kicks in the next build.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Gboss01:
Why not give the gift of choice? Stick all the kernels in as part of the extras zip. That way we can all trial the different kernels and report back [emoji2]
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Battery is purely kernel in my rom, its up to you to set kernel settings with a kernel app or with Vindicator kernel you can use VControl in a terminal emulator to tweak some interesting things. I have some tweaks in certain areas yes, as far as speed goes, debloating is good for that though you can definitely go too far with it, apps look for libs, libs look for other apps and files etc etc.

Ram... That more or less got taken care of when Samsung updated to the August builds. When we all got the pretty new icons, well I noticed a 3-400mb decrease in ram usage straight away. I do implement some dha tweaks anyway though
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Yeah good point. Arters won't be in there though.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] sanders132:
I've never used Adams kernel, doesn't that only support the F variant?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Gboss01:
Arters never played nicely with my phone [emoji20] unfortunate as I had great hope for his kernel.

Googymax is another that doesn't like my phone, it hangs randomly when unlocking.

Keen to try Vindicator with ur rOM [emoji2]
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Yeah only f model, wanam strictly only supports the f model as that's what he has. Technically the same for me, though, if you guys wanna be guinea pigs so be it haha

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] joesee:
Running T variant here as well. I'm on version 6.1 with unikernel v8 and scared to update. I was told I was lucky that this even booted with unikernel 8 since the ROM is based off the F variant. Do any of these other kernels run ok on the T variant? Particularly Vindikator since that's what Mental is talking about?

OR can I just upgrade to 6.4v and then just reflash unikernel v8 after flashing the upgrade and be good again? Not only that but I had to flash the audio fix and a couple other flashes to get this thing finally set up!
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] sanders132:
Not true, T variant here and all good versions work perfectly??
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Unikernel is actually what lets you boot this rom, i think there is an audio patch you may need to apply for in call audio though.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
WETA Extras update to V3.1

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Is there any interest from you guys in me baking in an OTA system? or maybe starting a Pushbullet/Telegram channel for updates? I never use twitter, and am probably going to abandon that

---
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] joesee:
OK, that's what I thought. I'll wait until your recent upload is finished then flash that - then flash unikernel so I can boot. I know about the audio patch so I'm good to go there.

A side note - What really interests me is your audio enhancements in the ROM. Do you know who makes the DAC for the S6? This reminds me back in the day with the older Samsung phones when they had a Wolfson DAC and Supercurio made the VooDoo sound app that worked directly with the hardware portion of the DAC. It was the most incredible warm true sound. I really miss that. I use a pair of Weston 4R's (4 drivers per IEM) and always look forward to sound enhancements!

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------

I'd love to have OTA capability, but I think with so many variants of the phone and so many different patches you might get a lot of people complaining their phone wont boot because they don't realize the F variant this rom is built off of wont just work on their T or other unikernel required phone. Not sure about others though?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Its a wolfson, and the s6 is one of, if not the best phone for audio at the moment.

There is a kernel by Andreilux called Perseus that has the hardware channel control etc, which I wish would be implemented into other kernels
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
As far as ota goes, I agree. Though it would obviously only work with my rom, and only do delta or patch updates when cache wiping isn't needed.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Flamehell:
It will be amazing mate!!!!Ota system or pushbullet......nice idea mate!!:)

Weta 6.4 with Adams Kernel is a great combination for good consistent battery usage.

With high usage - 5 hrs SOT I get about 14 hrs standby.

With moderate or normal use - 2.5 hrs SOT I get almost 1.5 days, I could have gone longer as I still had 10% battery left.

Kudos to [MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] ur work and effort :)
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Yeah there isn't an xda post for it except a discussion thread. FYI when you find it, its an odin tar, you can flash it with flashfire though.

Also colors look washed out when you first run it, use synapse to deselect system ui in the color settings.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
Yes but that is just a discussion thread and I didn't find it because it's in general and not in development sub forum.

I had a quick look and it looks very alpha (which it is) and the latest version requires a Note 5 based rom or the drivers from it to be installed. [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] made an excellent S3 kernel that had full audio control but he won't be working on the S6 unless someone buys him one like they have the S5.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] HaGii:
I'm using this Rom for 2 days (i guess) now and I have to say:

Great work,Mister [MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION]

This Rom is literally awesome. In my opinion you can feel the differences to Roms like the back-to-not3 or the XtreStoLite since the WETA Rom is based on the F version of the Galaxy S6. It might be placebo, but i have a F version and the overal feeling and especially the battery life seem like this Rom is the right companion for my device and everything seems to fit together.

THANK YOU for that.

But i also have some minor issues:

First one is that sometimes my phone has freezes for some seconds or even a minute.. I dont know if maybe the kernel is the culprit, but i never used it with another Rom and never experienced this.

And the other problem is that (sometimes) when I open snapchat it says "Snapchat shows no reaction: Do you want to "close" or "wait"", but even if I close Snapchat I can't get it to start properly... I had to restart my phone twice today... I've never seen this problem and I had a whole lot of Rom/Kernel combinations,but maybe you have an answer. [MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] :)

Thanks for your answers in advance!
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Yeah I wanted to give Vindicator kernel another try for some reason.. Maybe I was too zombie tired when I added it, but I don't think I'll use it again. The smoothness does suffer slightly, I've heard it's really good for gaming but hey, this ain't a gaming rom. Googymax and unikernel are great. And googymax has squashed the audio bug that stopped me from using that kernel. I'm running his 1.1 version and haven't had any issues so will add that back in next build. I recommend flashing one of those two kernels, or arters kernel
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Flamehell:
I tested all the kernels out and i have to say that for me,unikernel plus turbo mode and FHA is the best choise.....expecially with this rom...;)
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Winb33:
Hey [MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] As everybody has an idea on witch is the best kernel for your rom, why do not list kernel available and make a pool in op ? As it everybody can vote for his favorite

Sent via my awesome S6 powered by the famous WETA Rom ?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] HaGii:
Thanks for your answers!

So even for battery life googymax is one of the best choices? I'll try it if you say so... :)

Otherwise I'll go back to arter's kernel since it was pretty good!
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
[MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] I still have issues with Googymax. I posted about it in his thread.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Oh really, well unikernel it is. I've never had any issues ever with that kernel
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
When I use Noise Machine and turn the screen off it starts to stutter.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Thanks for reminding me, i have made a quick zip to flash until i update my base.

This zip replaces affected lib files with ones from the latest firmware for our device. It also disables some things in build.prop.

I believe that there are still vulnerabilities even in the latest firmwares, correct me if im wrong, i've used 3 different stagefright vulnerability testing apps, and they are giving different results, i think some apps simply look at your firmware revision, and others check build prop tweaks....

Anyway flash this and let me know how you get on..

Stagefright Fix for WETA only

I've also read that Google based SMS apps eliminate the vulnerability as well. That's hangouts and Google messenger. Google messenger is packaged as default SMS app in my rom so that's another safety aspect.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Winb33:
[MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] :

Just flashed v1.4 to test your rom and cleaned base (factory reset + additional manual wipe) and i have same problem

I think this problem is due that the fact you removed Google one time init process (or perhaps SecSetupWizard )

So initialisation of phone is not properly functionnal when starting phone for the first time (i ever had this problem when using you debloat script just after flashing another rom and before initializing phone) ... perhaps another process also but i'm not expert on this process.

Can you do a quick fix (Like flashable zip to use after flashing rom)

Restoring my xstro 2.2 backup for the moment , will test after your answer :)

Thanks for your work

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Yeah and even with the new base, which is meant to have fixes, there are still security holes. I would have thought it would have been safer for Google to have been informed privately rather than it being plastered over the internet and media. Now hackers know that there are security holes they can exploit. Anyway, i will keep searching for more thorough fixes.

Question to anyone who knows about new samsung updates... Im seeing a lot of new builds put up on sammobile today, one build in particular has a build date of 19th sept, this making it the newest build ive seen. Though the changelist Is lower than our current OI1, I am right in thinking OI1 in WETA rom has the latest build right? I ve never seen it contradict itself like this before
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Noxxxious:
Well I read something Gabri posted today: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/development/rom-noble-rom-t3183902/post63080268#post63080268

He claims that the OI6 korean build (galaxy s6 edge firmware) has some power saving module which is the same thing as used for the Marshmallow update..

This is the update I think (highest change list so far + build date 19th sept): http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/56167/G925SKSU3COI6_G925SSKC3COI6_SKC/

But the firmware is branded I think, exactly the same like the OH7 release, remember? You were the first to release that korean OH7 base which had limited languages and after 2-3 days OH2 released with all languages availabe.. So what will it be, use this base or wait a few days :D
