Awesome, you certainly deserve some time off every once in while, especially when your home and your familiy's involved. I'll keep watch on this thread until something awesome drops.

I could try just flashing the rom, but considering I just found a very nice setup with the aTerminal Rom 1.5 in combination with AEL Kernel 1.4/1.5 and the latest V4A, imma stay on this for a little while longer until something really good comes alon.

Enjoy your time off mate :)

Hello everyone,

I read this topic and it is really interesting to me.

I've been a Nexus User since the first one and so, i'm really use to the stock android experience.

The thing is, i'm also audiophile, I have some sennheiser headsets and akg, also some earplugs from sennheiser. And everyone knows that the nexus is not really great in term of sound quality.

That's why i'm switching to the galaxy s6, i heard some nice things about the DAC in it and that it can be improved by some modifications.

I'm familiar with the world of ROOTing devices and all.

I will soon get a Galaxy S6 but i really hate TouchWizz.

I was wondering if this ROM, that improves a lot the sound quality, can also get rid of TouchWizz.

If not, what solution do i have?

Also i heard some issues about the RAM managment with the galaxy S6, will it be fixed with marshmalow? And will this ROM get updated with the 6.0.x?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Touchwiz is there to stay I'm afraid. Though using nova launcher is a good alternative for launchers.

RAM management is not really an issue for me I gotta say. Especially now with the latest updates and upcoming marshmallow handles this well.

The sound mods are drivers taken from different devices to enhance certain aspects lacking from stock Samsung. Also with the addition of Hacker kernel or another kernel that controls hardware eq, you end up having full control over your audio.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] loutripe26:
That's a big deal for me, i'm really hesitating between a s6 and a nexus and the audio quality is a huge thing for me, but TouchWizz is so ugly and bad and makes the phone slow
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
Touchwiz is bad? How?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] loutripe26:
it's heavy, animations are bad, its ugly and its full of pre-installed apps and widgets that are completly useless for me
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
That is why we have delayed roms and root
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] droid_1989:
I have both the S6 and Nexus 6P, Nexus kills the S6, I still can't believe how long it's taken Samsung to get 6.0 out, at least when Android N comes out, I'll get it a day later on the 6p. This Samsung is a good phone, but I prefer Stock Android or AOSP based roms. I'll never get another Samsung Phone with an Exynos processor, the processor is fine, but Samsung holds back the rooting and modding community.

I use the S6 as a going out phone, if I know I've got smaller pockets.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Watching the MWC and the LG G5 looks interesting, with its accessory plug in DAC. The S7 will have to do a lot to make me want to stay with samsung, it better have a Snapdragon cpu for starters.

Edit: actually, even though im only 25% about aesthitics, that LG is butt ugly

--->
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
Yeah it's funny what finally sways your decision with a phone. I love the LG button on the back but their phones are damn ugly. I was going to go with a Sony Z5 last time but it wouldn't fit in my running belt and the S6 had beter reviews. This was after I said I would never have another Samsung after the crap that was the locked down S5.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
I'm pretty sure if snapdragon is reintroduced, I'll be sticking with s7

The dual pixel camera is awesome.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
By the time my contract is up I think we will be looking at the S8 :))
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] loutripe26:
do you notice a difference of audio quality when you put headphones in the s6 and 6p?

Is it possible to downgrade from your MM rom to Lollipop?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
According to [MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] it is with the beta.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] NipOoc:
Hi,

is it important which bootloader I choose (OLD,OKX,OKD...) ?

I have a German G920F.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
They will all work. Go with OLD for 13s to be up to date and match the firmware.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Drivingdroids:
So can i just flash OLD bootloader and flash lollipop with the new twrp?

Is this correct

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] droid_1989:
Can't really comment on the headphones thing, but the overall speaker on the 6p is far better than the S6.

S6 speakers are good, but they're tiny.

6.0.1 G920F UK Vodafone firmware has been released.

Looks like break time is over. Lets just hope they finally start releasing some MM goodness for the other variants other than F models.

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] disip:
Did you consider making this MM ROM as stock as possible, only with Xposed and other Audio stuff?

I mean, I would love to test the stock MM experience (what means I don't need any Hacker hardware changes etc), without losing Xposed and amazing audio.

I think this could be a great deal to all the people who like the stability of the stock firmware without losing some crucial modifications ;)
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Moe9269:
What kernel
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] disip:
Oh, right. It's Hacker's one.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Moe9269:
You will find many orifiles shared on hackers thread
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
Your post makes no sense. You say you want it as close to stock as possible but then you say you want Xposed and audio mods? These are the only things [MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] adds that stop it being close to stock. That and all the bloat he removes. Then you refer to Hacker hardware changes which is wrong since all [MENTION=5068852]thehacker911[/MENTION] makes is a kernel which is easily swapped for a different one.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] raymonlelsz:
im waiting for the weta 6.0 official, i hope you still wanne make that
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
WETA 6 was a long time ago. We are currently on WETA 13 ;)

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] mauley:
Haha. XDA S6 forums going into meltdown after Samsung latest announcement.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] disip:
Thanks for your opinion :P

By stock experience, I meant stock kernel (so stock CPU governor and other things) and other stuff, so I would say, stock on hardware level, but still making us able to change some UI elements and behaviour of some apps with Xposed (software level).

And of course I know we can swap the kernel for a different one, but, you know, not everyone knows how to do it. That's why they look for already-made custom ROMs.

That's just an example, as flashing the kernel is simple. I just wanted to show my point of view.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
Everything is optional and Hacker kernel had a stock option which is offered on install.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] disip:
I know this.

And I hope we will still be able to choose on 6.0

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] billyjonstevens:
hi guys I have searched the thread but couldn't find anything - correct me if im wrong but If I want to return to lollipop do I just need to flash a lollipop version and lollipop bootloader ? or is there anything else I need to do.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
yes thats all you should need to do, modems seem to work fine between lolli and marsh

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] billyjonstevens:
great thanks mental
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] loutripe26:
btw, this ROM works on the edge version?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Danzano:
I always used g920f software on my I variant because it seemed less buggy, but I've read that the modem and bootloader are now variant specific. So is there no way for the I variants to use the ROM currently? Or has anyone tried and could let me know please. Sorry if it seems like a stupid question just weird that we could use other variants before but not now.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Winb33:
Modem and bootloader were always separate flashable so just flash modem and bootloader dedicated to your model
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Audioboxer:
Staying on the beta till you do your thing [MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] :highfive:
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Danzano:
I know I can use the old modem on marshmallow, but I wondered if the bootloader was compatible and if there where any significant changes? For example if it was just minor changes maybe I could use a custom mm kernel with the old BL and MD

But I'm guessing the g920i is screwed till an official rolls out :(
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Winb33:
Hum yup for mm u'll probably have to wait official release to get a working bootloader
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
[ROM][G920F][OLD] WETA V13 + M1 [AudioPhile][29th.Jan]

WETA M1

G920F only!

Deodexed, DeBloated, zipaligned

Pon-3 + Dolby atmos

Minor system tweaks, csc, build.prop etc

No ui mods this time around. That'll be in next update.

There are a myriad of tutorials and posts about getting from lollipop to MM. I suggest you read up on this before proceeding if you are a noob to it. You need to be on a MM bootloader, recovery and kernel to boot this ROM after flashing it. I currently run the ZPA1 beta 2 bootloader for all MM builds. The kernel is not included in this ROM so you will need to flash one that's compatible. I recommend Adam kernel 3.0 at these early stages. do this before flashing ROM to achieve auto root. Modem will be a separate download.

If you are coming from any mm beta or official rom, you should be fine just to wipe dalvik and caches and flash over top.

This is just a start, to get it out there. Expect updates a plenty for the next few weeks.

I try to keep most functionality, I don't have the list at the moment as I'm away from my pc. Though I'm open to whatever suggestions you have of apps and function that may be missing or broken. Eventually I'll have an extras zip to add functions back that I don't want in the rom but others need. SMemo is basically the only Samsung app I have removed that may be noticed. I just think it's a pretty pointless app. Keep is way better

What you see in his phone info is my cosmetic screw up that I changed. Built.by. Superr. I changed that. I created the tar while mobile.

PAD modem

Had the same issue the other guy reported. When attempting to flash it in Odin, just got stuck on "RADIO" in the progress window on Odin, but never would finish. I force rebooted the phone and went ahead and flashed the ROM anyway...it's still booting up as I type. Will report back with any pertinent info.

Tried to look around for other modem downloads, but evidently my search skills aren't up to snuff. (Tried the same for a clear concise way for moving from LP to MM, but the only post I could find that made any sense was Masik's....according to another user there are thousands of posts of how to do it, but I had no luck).
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
I've seen these mm builds running with oi9 lollipop modems. So whichever you already have will probably work out until I get it sorted

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Winb33:

Everything look good but i had to flash supersu 2.65 to get proper root access.

Will check audio tomorrow when going @ work in car :)
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] cdjaney:
Just had a sinking feeling after reading Edgar's thread (just released his MM and has link to modem) that I tried to flash it in AP slot instead of CP. So don't go wasting too much time on it yet. :confused:

Unrelated..... My apps downloading from Play store for restore are craaawwwwling despite a 30-40Mbps connection..... anybody seen that behavior?

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
You need to wipe all system data I'm afraid. Then SMS will work
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
You will need to wipe all system data. I'd do a full wipe and reflash ROM, the. The patch
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Sorry guys, OP download link is fixed..

Also, i may have been a bit vague with the sms fix, but you will need to wipe data, dalvik and cache to get sms working after the patch fix. Well thats what i had to do. Maybe its just a dalvik rebuild thats needed. If it just takes a dalvik wipe for you, let us all know.

[MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] do you have a kernel included in this latest build or do we have to flash one? (such as wanams?)

edit: Flashed wanam kernel just in case, all working here.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
I thought I had mentioned it, but no there is no kernel. Only for the reason that unification hasn't happened yet with kernels. As soon as hacker kernel is out of testing I'll probably use that. I am running Adam kernel also.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Audioboxer:
You did sorry, just fully read OP.

Also just to add I upgraded from the beta fine. Upgraded bootloader, modem and TWRP via odin first (grabbed them in XtreStoLite thread).
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Don't fret, I'm not the best reader at times. Hell I didn't even know if I mentioned it.. Thanks for bootloader info. I haven't really addressed bootloader etc that much, and was hoping people would just talk it out, which has happened. So good stuff.

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Audioboxer:
Flash all three in odin before installing rom

1. Copy rom and kernel to phone

2. Flash in Odin (all in one step)

- Bootloader as BL

- Modem as CP

- TWRP as AP

3. Boot to recovery

4. Install wanam kernel first, install Rom

5. Wipe Dalvik and Cache

6. Reboot

Is there a different way to gain it than on 5.0.1? I want to ask before screwing the ROM up ;)
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Audioboxer:
Flash wanam kernel, then flash the rom, and you'll have root.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] disip:
That's exactly what I did, the ROM was flashed as the last one.

Oh and I did a full wipe with internal storage to make my phone super-clear after Lollipop build.

I even have no SuperSU app, so I will download it and check again.

Edit: nope, no Root at all. SuperSU cannot instal it's binaries...

Edit2: Ok, got it. I have flashed SuperSU beta + Xposed, all seems to work now ;)
