I could easily do a Debloated Stock Build of 6.0.. But it would be only for my own personal use..

I built a ROM for my Galaxy Tab and decided to share it.. I got hammered with Tech Support requests and people saying I destroyed their device..

To many people asking really stupid questions, and I try my best to answer all PMs or posts asking how and what..

After there was a second ROM builder for the Galaxy tab 4 8.0.. I just shut down my thread..

I still do support, but building a ROM for the masses.. even a slightly modified one, usually ends up in PM hell..

I just do my own builds for myself now.. Doing a Stock 6.0 ROM would be fairly easy if you know where to look for a decent kitchen and have some Linux ability..

I've already looked at the Leaked 6.0 ROMs, they really aren't that different.. I can't tell for sure other than YouTube videos.. Since I can't install them..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] geeshiet:
Same for me . Note 5 will be my last samsung phone. Ill probably sell it and get a nexus 6p or iphone 6s.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] PSBHD:
I'm on the s6 and will be moving over to the Nexus 6p. Upgraded my wife to that phone and it's impressive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] PanchoPlanet:
Don't go, your gonna miss the marshmallow party! :eek:

Alright, I'll send you some screen shots later.

Pp. Lol.:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
Yup. Even if the S6 does get Marshmallow before the S7 is available, there's no way Marshmallow is going to fix that 2550 mAh battery, unless you let the phone doze all day. Which is pointless. If you can jump, why wouldn't you?

I'm looking forward to the bigger battery and the latest Qualcomm Quick Charge with that 820. Plus it might be easier to try out Android N next fall or winter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] PanchoPlanet:
Do we know what the N stands for yet?

Could it be Nutella?

Ha, that would be cool.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ipaq_101:
I can't wait till the next batch of new android devices come out, tired of Samsung and their lack of effort in rolling out updates, time to ditch the brand. I have had the Galaxy S, S3, S4, S6 and never did I see them care about supporting the devices in a timely manner once the launch was done. The S6 was a failure, feels like I am always charging the damn thing even with root and custom kernels, the battery is just plain pathetic for such a spec filled phone. Anyway sorry for the rant, hopefully these new Chinese manufacturers light a fire under Samsung's ass so they once again be the brand to go to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
I have an S6 and have had the S3, S4, S5 as well after switching from htc. I don't have battery issues with my S6.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] PanchoPlanet:
Apparently the only ones having battery issues are people with rooted phones, hmm,what does that tell you?

Stone stock with plenty of battery to spare.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
"stone stock", battery sucks.

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------

the only thing good about the S6 battery is that it charges quickly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] PSBHD:
Stock s6 with zero battery issues. Maybe your root is doing more harm then good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] nachobel:
I'm having pretty good luck with my custom ROM, but that's not to say I'm not excited for some Marshmallow love :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] The Sickness:
Root doesn't cause battery drain. Battery usage is different for every device even if it's the same model. Some play nice with certain kernels while others don't.

Personally, I will never have a phone that isn't rooted....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danveer:
Global rollout has begun but t mobile site still says manufacturer development...

I wonder how much time we would have to wait
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Even the same setup. Both my GF and I have the S6 running Sick as Hell X with Unikernel v9.1 and same tweeks etc.

Usage plays a role for sure. I eek out about 30 extra minutes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] PSBHD:
Root can cause battery drain if the root was not done proper or the phone is being picky and doesn't like the root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] The Sickness:
Well, if it gets picky....I make it not picky.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Calnyx:

Nope I was totally wrong, didn't use the site correctly lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] troby86:
I see where you got confused, because they have "completed" highlighted in pink. Threw me off at first also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] crazyemon3y:
I would guess that the T-Mobile site isn't update all too often. I personally have the One M9 (sorry to bring up a different device lol, but its to prove my point) and it has been confirmed that the M9 will start receiving the OTA update tomorrow, but the T-Mobile site still says in manufacturer development for the M9 as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danveer:
You sparked hope in my heart...lol

Lets see how much time it takes to be completed..;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:

I'm not bothered with waiting for 6.0 on the S6 anymore. S7 is rumored to launch in like 23 days. Then I'll finally have Marshmallow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] xecuter2:
I was seconds away from buying a 5x when it dropped price but I decided to wait patiently for the 6.0 S6 release. I still don't think I'll ever be happy without AOSP roms.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] PunishedSnake:
Luckily I got this s6 through tmobiles jump on demand so I will be jumping to the m10
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danveer:
Battery life is good for me

Atleast better tham s4 which lasted just 2-3 hrs of screen time.

This atleast lasts for 4 hrs under normal usage and about 3 hrs with 1.5 hrs of injustice

Though i really needed a sd card..:/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Zero_Lord:
I just wanna have more banks in samsung pay, im very good with the s6 battery life and so on.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] WolfsFang:
Looks like Europe is getting mm, can only hope that means we will get it soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danveer:
We still gota wait 2 to 3 weeks till t mobile passes it...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] robogoflow:
2 to 3 weeks? How do you know?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] WolfsFang:
It's a guess....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stevenchen1995:
G920T be like...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stevenchen1995:
Hopefully that means it wouldn't take as long for the bloatware-free unlocked variant (XAR) of G920T to receive the update :crying: Or whatever... My hype for the update has already decayed to a negligible level as I sometimes don't even remember I'm STILL waiting for it :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
I remember the hype when lollipop was about to drop through Tmobile. No sooner it did and people were clamoring to go back to KiKat.

I have a highly functional device (S6 non Edge). This thing is a work horse. I'm all for updates and tweeks and development but if it is gonna roll out like a lead balloon I'll gladly wait til the beta testing is complete before moving to MM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danveer:
I know what you mean

Lollipop destroyed my s4, ram leaks, no app would work for more than 10 mins after which it will get killed to free ram.

Even the wallpaper wont stick.

What's worse, 2 years were completed on s4 so ssung dictched all support.

After seeing this, its safe to say its worth to wait BUT, isnt 6-7 months good enough time of waiting?

I mean instead of taking 3 months, ill be glad they taking 4-5 months in jope of delivering a stable upgrade.

But here its 6+ months and whats worse is they are saying its still unstable and many updates will come later to make it stable..

Our device is still 1 year old so they are bound to upgrade it for another year.

But think of what will happen to s5..

Coz what they will do to s5, ( happened to s4 last year ) and will happen to us next year. I.e. making device so useless so that few people could upgrade to their latest.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
I gotcha but resources are finite. You can't expect resources to be continually allocated towards support going 3 devices back. S7 has yet to drop and develppers are surely already working on the next big thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stevenchen1995:
This sounds like keep having more babies while unable to financially support them lol

If Samsung can't afford supporting more babies why bother having more of them? :p

They'll need a condom next time imo lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] robogoflow:
I think that is BS. You mean to tell me every other carrier is having issues too but the rare few who got updated aren't reporting major issues? Even sprint is having trouble as well? I don't think so. Samsung is holding this update back to sell a new phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] magoo5289:
US carriers generally do lag behind.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] xecuter2:
I should have bought a beater phone and gone 6P :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] robogoflow:
Im just saying. Having trouble? Why not have an open beta. Let those tmo users who can't wait for the update actually get a beta and report issues. It's a win win for both sides. Why aren't they having issues with HTC and LG
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] PSBHD:
T-Mobile store managers are not going to know anymore than what anyone can Google about the marshmallow update. I doubt T-Mobile would share info like that with a store manager.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
I'm counting on a continuing wait between 2-3 additional weeks before release..

Until then.. I'm just tired of coming here every day wondering if there is an update or not..

I like my phone the way it is, and It's likely I'll won't like the update.. So at this point I don't care if we get it tomorrow or next year..

This is my last Samsung device anyway, and I can upgrade to a Nexus Device at anytime if I choose..

Edit: For those who want to Jump to the S7.. It's now up for sale on T-Mobile.. Android 6 built in..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] redfaction95:
Can I clean install this marshmallow firmware on my S6 Edge (when it comes)....? Like we can do with htc's RUU...?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ScottBroker:
I dont care anymore, just ordered my Galaxy 7 Edge! Hopefully when it arrives, I can flash marshmallow on my S6 so I can sell it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
You know this may be their strategy after all.. Make people wait.. And wait.. Until they GS7 is up for sale.. To generate more sales..

T-Mobile can kiss my ass, I'm gonna switch carriers just because of this..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] xecuter2:
I would buy the 6p or 5x over the S7, being a flashaholic with a phone that has some of the worst rom choices really bites.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
Yeah.. This is my last Samsung Device period.. i'm tired with having a device that is last in line to get updates.. Though I'm happy with what I have..

My Next phone will be a Nexus.. With the S7 now released.. There is no motivation to give us OUR update.. They want us Sheep to move to the S7..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] RiskPrime:
Shouldn't the S7 have more ROMs now that it's a Qualcomm CPU?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] xecuter2:
In theory yes but Nexus devices are supported nearly immediately where Samsung devices usually take time for devs to sort out. The S6 I *thought* would get figured out but it seems that will take quite a bit more time than anticipated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Zero_Lord:
I dont like nexus 6p, looks cheap and in my experience with huawei i can only say is a bad decision, i stick to samsung or apple or maybe with htc, but huawei?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danveer:
You forgot lg and moto there bro..:p

Btw as good as custom roms get for nexus devices, i dont buy them coz for 1, they always have useless camera and 2nd, 60 has very poor build quality.

There are pros and cons to each.

In the end i prefer quality over quantity.

I dont want 10 different roms.

Only 1 that has all things i need amd can do a bit more will do for me...;)

Also imho, they added features of a company's skin over stock android makes it much more complete as compared to stock nexus devices.

Thats why i always prefer lg/samsung pver nexus
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] troby86:
My wife has an LG G3...and it has official Marshmallow already...pisses me off, lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] clutz2000:
I just moved to T-Mobile about 5 weeks ago from Sprint. So far, I have not noticed anything different coverage wise. It is nice to have more data and to have Binge so music and movie streaming doesn't count against data. I got the S6 and pre-ordered the S7. I received notification on yesterday (2/28) that my S7 is shipping. Looks like they will be arriving before the scheduled March 11th release date.

My main reason in going ahead and getting the S7 is that I have only paid 1 payment on my S6. I get the Gear VR and 1 year of free Netflix. I would be stupid not to jump on the S7 bandwagon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ipaq_101:
Dude stop whining, Jesus Christ, enough already. Do what you want and shut up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] PSBHD:
I just picked up the Nexus 6p. Giving my wife my Samsung s6. It is still a great phone. Not like it is a lagging peace of **** because it doesn't have Marshmallow yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] piotrus22:
the 6p is pretty huge tho right? i mean it's like waaay bigger than the s6. any issues with it that?

also - i saw on tmobiles website their testing is complete, how long does it usually take for them to move to OTA release after its been in this state?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Then why are you complaining about whether or not Marshmallow gets pushed to your device if you have an operating S6 that is fully functional running Lollipop?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] d3l1:
FYI DTM (German t-mobile) firmware is out, installed the OTA a few hours ago.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stevenchen1995:
No it's not complete. You must have used the site in the wrong way. Click on the Galaxy S6 picture and you'll see "manufacturer development".

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

Thanks for the fyi but I don't think that'd mean much for most of us here. Different models. Being under the same company doesn't really enable us to flash a German T-Mobile ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ipaq_101:
Whatever got the S7 edge, tired of waiting. Wife will inherit the S6 and she could care less.

Go there for your information.. Goodluck not having a IR Blaster, having only a 32 gig rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] robogoflow:
But it has expandable memory, water resistance, and marshmallow.[emoji1]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
Well for a water proof phone.. I tested mine in tap water for 40 mins with ABSOLUTELY no issues after pulling it out..

It's a matter of preference, I like the IR Blaster and I don't need an SD card, though I would not of gotten this device if it did NOT have a 128 gig model..

I am considering taking the dive and do a trade in, and they are offering me the upgrade for 3 whole dollars with a trade in..

I do admit I have a 128 gig Samsung ultrafast SD card so I could easily move everything to that, but the whole idea of only a 32 gig model being offered, even with being able to transfer your apps to the SD card, some data does stay with the Internal Storage.. It seems like they made a trade off between the IR blaster and the expandable storage.... I have a lot of charging devices that are specific to the GS6 that I would have to repurchase if I upgraded.... It's not enough for me to upgrade, however if I do not see a Marshmallow update by April it will be seriously considered..

I use my IR blaster on a daily basis, so that may be the one thing that holds me back, and please do read on the main Galaxy S6 page where everyone is reviewing their new S7.. I see the advantages as my GS6 is still practically new, has not a single scratch on it and carries a lot of value.. I'll wait 3 more weeks.. Though I really don't care if we get the marshmallow update anyhow.. I'm tired of waiting for something that might not come at all.. If you remember what happened to the Galaxy S4.. Yeah I'm rambling, but before I make my final choice I want to be well informed.. I'm really in love with my GS6 128 gig.. But to trade it in for a GS7 Edge.. It might be what I'm looking for..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] troby86:
Just read that the T-mobile HTC One M8 is getting the Marshmallow update tomorrow. Maybe T-Mobile will surprise us with the S6 update also.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
Battery life on the S7 Edge is awesome. Wifi Calling and VoLTE work without causing battery drain. Camera is better. Marshmallow. Faster.

No IR blaster... The pros outweigh the cons.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
I appreciate your opinion, however "to me personally" its not worth it until perhaps the S8 is released.

My battery is fine with my personal debloated rom, I have no issues with severe battery drain and I have a portable battery cradle/charger with me on long trips..

my battery has yet to get past 10 percent.. It's all a matter of preference and if you like the S7, then get the S7... But like the S6 it's gonna be glitchy as hell at first, and that sweet battery life your talking about.. Lets wait and see until its been tested amongst the masses.. If they released a 64gig model.. I'd consider it, I was all giddy at first about Marshmallow.. Now I just don't care really..

I'm stopping all posts to this forum since it's just stirring the pot.. Look at the S7 forums and read what others have said about it..

I just like my S6 and it's just personal preference.. I will no longer make any more posts here.. So any replies from anyone trolls (Not claiming you are) or not.. Will be ignored..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
It's not like the S6 at all. I've had it for one week. The battery life is great, the 820 plays better with our network, overall a much better device. But hey, that's like, my opinion, man. Do what you want. I just thought I'd let you know, since you mentioned it wouldn't cost you to upgrade.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] HKSpeed:
I wonder if we'll see 6.0 before April. If I were a t-Mobile exec, I would delay it as much as possible as a means to encourage people to upgrade to a S7. I see people on this thread and others in the international S6 forums making the switch.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] monkeypaws:
Tmobile has done this with Samsung phones with the system vibrant. Delay until after the new gen is out and selling. It was my reason for always upgrading as my upgrades always fell on those dates, and I cared about updates a little more. I still do but not enough to warranty throwing money away each year. I'm speculating that's the reason the v10 hasn't seen an update either, probably to hold off LG g5 sales. Some plausible evidence is that HTC isn't affected by these delays since their statement to update with 90 days. Tmobile has updated both the m9 and m8 already and HTC m10 isn't even announced. Is it upsetting? , sure. Is it enough to warrant spending another 700+ just for an os update? That's up to each person. I don't do much rooting anymore so my visits to xda are just to see if anyone else has more insider info than the not up to date tmobile update site.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danveer:
Just read at gsmarena, m8 getting updated with a lg phone update coming too, cant remeber its model.

Anyways it says there that 7 to 22 march will see a lot of updates from the carrier..

Given that most of the preorders for s7 would have been concluded by then, i say we might have a update within this time period ( but mostly at its end )..

Hoping for the best.

P.s. just a question.

Why is the t mob site still says manufactures development for our phone?

I have read many times here by various persons that tmobile is testing the build meaning they have already recieved thd update from samsung..

Then why still say that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] monkeypaws:
The two phones that were updated this week were the m8 and lg stylo. I haven't seen any news about other phones. The tmobile site isn't always updated. Every carrier gets the update from samsung and whatever time it takes them to cook it. But historically it has seemed that tmobile and other carriers like to wait until the new gen is out which is crap. But they have to worry about their bottom line.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] HKSpeed:
My friend's T-Mobile LG G4 got the MM update a month ago. Maybe T-Mobile doesn't hold back updates on LG and other phones since they sell in small volumes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danveer:
I didnt even wanted a t mob phone since i live in india...lol

Now i have to wait double time for update..:/
