Hi great job with the rom. super smooth and the sounds great with some of jody's settings

I've just updated the modem, bootloader and 9.01

Clean installation but I've taken a few calls and noticed an issue when i receive or make a call and put the person on speaker. I can hear them but they cant hear me. Even if i take them off speaker and use the handset, they still cant hear me.

This means i have to make the call again without using the speaker.

Do you know what this could be?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] vnvman:
I don't think it's ROM related because it's fine here. Ah, and no need to quote the OP lol
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mahnsinn:
Have exactly the same problem on 8.8.! Thought it was on my end only.

920f here with oj5 baseband. I am using AEL kernel 3.1, Extras from Weta with Google now, google Boot, multiwindow and extreme powersaving. Furthermore I am using xposed and alliance framework both on newest Release. For Xposed Module check pictures Below.

Anything which Sounds familiar with your setup?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
Where does the "extreme powersaving" come from?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] sanders132:
Weta rom 9.0.1 + Arters kernel 9.2 is the best combo I've seen with smoothness, no lag and battery consumption.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] bbender716:
Silly question, any way to turn the modem.bin or tar into a recovery flashable zip?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] raphaelrossi6:
Hey guys! I just came out from Galaxy S4 to Galaxy S6, so I'm a new user. I'd like to know if this rom works on Galaxy S6 SM-G920i?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] marcel112:
bl and modem only odin
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] HaGii:
Every 920F based Rom

should

work on 920i models. Just be sure that your BL and Modem are based on your model and you are good to go. ;)
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] sanders132:
Yeah it does.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mahnsinn:
It's an Option in Weta Extras.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
Yes I just realised what you meant. Have you tried reinstalling without some of the extras?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] gpvecchi:
[MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] is it possibile to add Samsung test apps to aroma? Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] HaGii:
[MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION]

Just a quick question. Adobe your Rom is fully debloated, why didn't you remove the SPP (Samsung Push Service)? It's just because I'm curious if u can remove it by myself without any struggles and problems afterwards...
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] mrpiter:
Hi, I have exactly the same issue. It does not happen always but very often. Anyone has any idea what could be the culprit?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
Anyone else finding that Pon-3 isn't working in latest release?

Scratch that. Had UHQ Upscale enabled and that disabled it.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
It's fine to remove. A lot of those services don't really account for much space, and recently when I had thet phone crash issue I manually debloated everything again without using my auto scripts, this was just left in there.

?--->
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Atakancon:
Same here, happens almost half the time...

Could not find the solution, BTW I'm at 8.8...
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Thomas1109:
t-mobile s 6

hello , do any one know if this rom works on the tmobile s6? thanks!!
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mahnsinn:
If you three could post your setup here, or could compare your setup with mine, which i already posted (check the quote below) it could be possible, that we narrow this issue down to the Kernel or any WETA extra or framework or xposed Modul or S6 Variant or Modem or sth. else. As not everyone is having that issue it is most unlikely its plain ROM related...

Btw. its one thing to report a bug but its impossible to help you without any details. [MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] is doing already so much support without any details provided, but when not everyone using this rom is having this issue, its most likely impossible to solve it without further details. It is more liekly he is not able to reproduce that bug and cant solve it.

Btw. if you, [MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] or anyone with that bug, could need any further infos than that already posted, pls let me know.

Edit: flashed another Modem and had 2 out of 2 Calls without that Problem. Will Report back if i get this speaker Problem another time. I flashed the OJQ Modem.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] nasif69:
[MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] can you suggest me what deodexing tool you use?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] coontag:
Yes rom works fine on T-Mobile s6.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Zoide_:
Just remember to flash the audio fix from Weta extras.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] sanders132:
Works perfectly.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Is that OJQ modem still working good for you?

?--->
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mahnsinn:
Didnt have another call yet. Will tell you when I have a few more.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Atakancon:
Just flashed OJQ modem - did not help. I can call - they hear me but when they call my voice does not get there... happens both on 8.8 and 9.01...
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] ffaaiissaall:
Private mode and fingerprint scanner works in this rom?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] bbender716:
Hey quick question, do you know offhand the last modem that doesn't have this issue? Looking between DOH6 and COF8.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
I would appreciate some more info, and if you haven't tried another rom or kernel to try and help pinpoint the isuue then do so. I havent had this issue, and i use the speaker all the time in calls. My gut tells me its kernel related, being that it happened on two different bases of this rom. Slap unikernel on here, try it for a day then report back. thanks!

--->
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
If youre talking about the speaker in call issue.. I myself have never had that happen to me. I am on the latest modem and bootloader. I am also on AEL kernel. I have mentioned this before, and its in the back of my mind again now.. i don't flash other roms and kernels so i am not prone to bad flashes and wipes etc. And with the recent problems coming up with people who have flashed Arter kernel in the past with CWM/Philz recovery, are people having issues, still using Philz recovery? if so, please flash TWRP

---->
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
In call speaker

I just want to ask a couple of questions to try and get this problem narrowed down to WETA, Kernel, or PON-3 sound mod. I was away at a wedding all weekend but now actually have some time to look into it. I ask if that you are going to post about this issue, can you please include...

1. what kernel

2. what version of WETA you have had this issue with.

3. What model of phone

4. What recovery you are using

5. wiping process.

6. xposed?

7. Alliance Framework?

We need to find a pattern here. Below is my setup. And i have no issues whatsoever.

1. AEL 3.1

2. 9.0.1

3. 920F

4. TWRP

5. Factory reset (cache, dalvik, data)

6. NO

7. NO

Thanks all!

--->
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] bbender716:
Sorry I meant the sms delay issue. Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] mrpiter:
Hi,

Thank you very much for looking into this. Here is the list:

1. AEL 3.1

2. 9.0.1

3. 920F

4. TWRP

5. Factory reset

6. Yes (modules: Greenify, network speed indicator, boot manager, permissions master, wanam xposed, xposed torch). Xposed version: xposed-v75.8-sdk22-arm64-custom-build-by-wanam-20151030

7. Not even sure what this is so I guess the answer is no.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] lizaSB:
I use a w8 and the only 5.1.1 modem which does not give me troubles is BOJ7. I cannot speak for t-mobile users, sorry :(
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mahnsinn:
1. AEL 3.1

2. 8.8 and 9.0.1

3. 920F

4. TWRP

5. each time Factory reset (cache, dalvik, data)

6. YES Version 20151019 (Amplify, AppOpsXposed,Burnt Toast,, Greenify, NOtifications, Power Nap, Samsung Camera any Gallery fix, Secure Settings, Volume Steps+, Wanam Xposed)

7. YES
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Have you guys tried making some calls without installing xposed and alliance? Would help

To eliminate that. Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] gpvecchi:
Guys, I have this issue: Whatsapp doesn't give notifications until I open the app. Any hint, please?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] thenimboo:
Will this Rom work on the G920p? (Sprint Galaxy S6)

Just got the phone today - coming from an LG G2, so a bit new to Samsung rooting...sorry :)
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
I think no, from what I have read elsewhere, sprint is a unique beast. But if I was in your shoes... I'd try it. Just make sure all you are flashing is the ROM. Keep your bootloader and modem as Sprint, making sure it is 5.1.1 lollipop. Also you will need to have the Sprint unikernel on hand to flash after the ROM or it won't boot after. My ROM flashes a kernel that won't work on your model.

Please report back what you find out.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
All I can say, is wipe the data and cache for that app, uninstall then reboot then re install from the app store and re link your phone number to WhatsApp.

Actually go ahead and make sure WhatsApp isn't being "optimized" in battery settings. Same with greenify or any other apps that may killing the app.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Noxxxious:
In call speaker thing is probably kernel related, to be specific to the sound controls used in it. This was the same issue that arters kernel had in v4.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Sliding back into a unikernel groove may be worth looking into in the next update. It might make things a little bit more noob friendly. Maybe.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] sanders132:
Arter's latest kernels have really surpassed unikernel IMO.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
I can't disagree, but I get less confused users with a basic unikernel. It's better to let advanced users choose the kernel seperately. Then my brain done hurt less

Aaaand, last time I checked Arter doesn't allow his kernel to be included in roms. I think. I'd like to look into f2fs though.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] sanders132:
F2F would be fun to play with! ?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
I know right, and why not aye.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Gboss01:
+1 for this!

Used F2FS with Arter's ROM but the audiophile in me missed your ROM. It would be great if your ROM supports F2FS in the future.

Is it possible to edit your current ROM zip so it doesn't format partitions when installing?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
The only partitions that get wiped at the moment are system and cache, and that's just wiping, it doesn't format. So I'll look into it to make sure its supported, I don't want people to "have" to use philz recovery though.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Gboss01:
That would be great if you can look into it for us. I know this won't be a task for the noob but it really isn't very difficult.

Only downside is, as you mentioned, you need philz touch recovery to be ale to change the format to f2fs using the toggle.

I tried installing your ROM after formatting the data, system and sd-card to f2fs but it just ends up sending my phone in a bootloop. It doesn't even show the boot animation, just the Galaxy S6 first screen and reboots. Quite daunting for the uninitiated - doesn't faze me though I thought I'd bricked my phone a few times playing around with trying to get f2fs working with your ROM.

If you need a tester, I'm here bud :D
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Good to know, I will need a tester, I'm pretty sure I just need to change the updater-script a little.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] paja_slovany:
for maguro(gnex) some twrp custom built supports f2fs,i have not found latest but 2.8.6.0 does have it(maybe its disabled by default using some #define?) well,last time i configured linux kernel was around 2.6.x version :)
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
i really wouldn't want to have to use philz recovery. Does a flashable zip exist for this recovery ?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Atakancon:
Before starting - I believe you have done a terrific job with this rom and are a saint. Thank you so much.

I was a bit busy with other stuff - sorry for the late response:

1. AEL 3.1

2. 9.0.1

3. 920F

4. TWRP 2.8.7.x

5. Tried both dirty and factory reset (formatted everything - installed from OTG USB)

6. Yes (modules: Amplify, Pandora Patcher, Greenify, wanam xposed). Xposed version: tried v75.3 as well as 75.8

7. No

Also I'm using callrecorder by skrillex (tried both with and without).

FYKI: I'm in middle east - that might be one of the issues (using different band/frequency for GSM)???
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
I've just had a hell of a time testing out f2fs, it worked in a way. Though I am heavily against philz recovery. Everything was borked until I flashed back to twrp and formatted everything and started again. I really do believe philz causes a lot of issues.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Shriac:
How do I flash this on 920I. I am on Mako 4.2 rom with unikernel.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] gpvecchi:
Thanks, I'm on a clean install of the ROM. I assume the problem is related to the optimizing option: it seems reversed for me.

All the apps that are excluded have some issue (WhatsApp, Light Manager) and Facebook that is always optimized continues working in background...
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Atakancon:
For everyone working with 920F and having trouble on receiving calls (your voice doesn't get through) - AEL 3.1 is the culprit for creating trouble with the microphone:

I've reverted back to 8.5 - everything was fine. Tried AEL 3.1 and the problem re-emerged. will try other kernels and report...
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Harthouse:
As ex-f2fs user, must say I didn't noticed any improvement over ext4. Appreciate Arter97's work: Philz touch recovery, f2fs & arter rom + kernel.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] mrpiter:
I have quite different observations from Atakancon. I am on 9.0.1 with AEL 3.1. I also flashed xposed. What I did is I went into recovery and run factory reset. After the boot I had completely fresh phone, no apps, no xposed mods, however, xposed framewark was still installed because it installs itself into system and not data so it was not wiped during the factory reset. Aaaaand although my phone was completely fresh the problem was still there. People could not hear me when I put them on the speaker. So I went back to recovery and flashed xposed uninstaller and guess what? It is all working now. I have done a lot of test calls, I also received some otehr calls that I did not expect and it all works.

Can you guys download xposed uninstaller, flash it and report back, please? Just want to confirm that it is not coincidence because the issue was not always happening previously so I am not sure if now is the time that it is simply not happening or uninstalling xposed really fixes the issue.

You can download Xposed uninstaller here: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Marios092:
Same here.

With 8.8 I'm having trouble when using the hands free on my headset. People complain that they can't hear me. Sometimes, and not every time, when I make a call there's no bipping sound and I usually don't listen to people when pick it up. Some other minor problems with 8.8 include the data switch pop up when it try to turn it off as well as the volume bar warning. These bugs were not present with the previous kernel.

I haven't flashed another custom ROM in this phone. I haven't changed the ROMs included kernel and I don't do dirty flashing. No xposed. I'm on 920F.

P.S: it's not a faulty hands-free cable. It's a brand new one for my sennheiser urbanite headset.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Ryem:
The problem is not with the rom. The problem is only with the kernal. If you have trouble with in-call sound,flash any other kernal and you will have it foxed. If you want to stick with AEL kernal then flash v2.7 and this will also fix it. The problem arised when the sound mod was implimented into the kernal. Not everyone has this problem though but if you're a victim then try AEL v2.7 or flash another kernal.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
I dont have headphone warning popups. Neither do I get a data warning popup. Also... These aren't considered "problems" in my opinion. Included kernel is giving you issues with call audio. Just flash another kernel.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] bbender716:
Sorry to bring up another problem but I'm having trouble since the switch to Pon-3 with having the convolver work. I've used it extensively in the past for the headset correction filters but right now the convolver files are found but don't change the sound at all like they aren't working...

---------- Post added at 07:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 AM ----------

FYI, I won't/can't post it here but the AEL developer posted a modified version to see if it fixes the issue on his forums (echoe rom). He is actively investigating.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Convolvers were working perfectly fine before I tried to add a bunch more in the last build. It's not Pon-3. You can try deleting and adding them manually. I will revert them in next update. You probably already know, but they reside in sdcard/VIPER4android/kernel
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] bbender716:
Gotcha. Yeah tried the ol delete and replace. No dice. Thanks again for always having open ears! :)
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Gboss01:
I had the same problem as you. Trying to switch back u followed the correct procedure formatting back to ext4 but it bricked my phone lol.

Had to flash back TWRP, format everything and then flash your ROM. In that order as just flashing the ROM without formatting everything in TWRP, even though you just formatted everything in Philz.

I'm inclined to believe that Philz isn't really formatting the partitions back to ext4 properly or something.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Call audio issue

So the general consensus is that this is kernel related not rom. Flash a new kernel. I revert the included kernel until its fixed in future releases. If people won't search, and report this issue. Point them to post #2267

?--->
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Yeah its a shame, i dont have the will to unpack and try modify a recovery at the moment, but it would be a nice little project for some budding dev to try and add F2FS to twrp on our phone. I sttill am not sure why its not included when it is on other versions.

--->
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Gboss01:
I wish I had the know how then I would try build it myself.

For now I'm going to try backup my ROM using philz to my otg flash drive, format all to f2fs and restore my backup.

I read that will allow me to run ur ROM on an f2fs formatted phone :)

/fingerscrossed
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] jojobans:
Hi guys

What is the best kernel for this rom ??
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] garthybarthy:
I used f2fs and didn't notice any improvements what so ever, just encountered more problems with it than without it. Wasn't worth all the hassle, Philz recovery vs TWRP is like windows 98 vs windows 10 lol no competition.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
I agree, i abandoned pretty quickly last night.

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Ryem:
​Okay guys can you do me a favour? I have been testing with AEL kernel a lot and came to a conclusion. The sound does not work only when the the Enable Equalizer is not ticked in the Synapse audio setting. Can you please Untick and check and then tick and check to see if it makes a difference and let me know? Thanks​

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] thereassaad:
If im not get him he want to extract app from the rom so he can by root explorer or by 7zip pc

U can by root explorer or 7zip pc mate it's easy. ..

I'm so impressed with this piece of work. Using this rom an ael kernel. Interactive and cfq. Battery life is amazing.

Thanks [MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] sanders132:
Arter kernel 9.3 IMO.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Are you converting to f2fs on any partitions?

?--->
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] sanders132:
No I'm not.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] bbender716:
Try zen scheduler and you'll be even happier!
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Gboss01:
So just a small update on my quest to run this ROM with f2fs partitions. When I tried restoring my TWRP backup it failed complaining, something about not having an ext4 partition I think.

All I got was a bootloop :(
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Mentalmuso:
Yeah would think you'd need to restore a philz backup

?--->
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Gboss01:
Let me try it that way. I just don't like Philz and was only intending to use it for converting the partitions. Then wanted to go straight back to TWRP but I can see how that went wrong as TWRP didn't like the new f2fs partitions.

Will report back after downloading weta 9 (currently have 8) and some sleep :)
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] PunkOz:
I checked the kernel website and it hasnt been updated in months, am I right? Or there is a newer version im not aware of? Im just asking this because I like having the latest releases of kernels I dont mind changing the kernel this rom comes with but i found it strange to be using a kernel that is so old. Whats the latest version? Thanks in advance! And sorry about my poor English :)

Edit: Sorry last time I checked on my phone the echoe forum for the kernel version used in this ROM it was an old kernel from months... now I checked on PC and I see that the kernel is being updated, my bad!
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] dovah:
Unikernel is one of the best all-purpose kernels, as it supports almost every model of s6, hence why it is included. If you want a more cutting edge kernel, go flash one from the original development/unified development threads
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
Except they were talking about AEL which is the default kernel. Also unikernel is causing bootloop on some devices and it's maker is currently mia
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] HaGii:
Tried it and didn't like it. For me there were a few minor lags and after reboot the lockscreen froze... So nah.

I'll stay with this configuration for a while.

Thanks anyways
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] carbonize:
As I always say try fiops as it was specifically designed for flash/ssd storage like the S6 uses.
