[Galaxy S6 Active] Pestdoktor:
I remember my last Phone (Motorola Defy+) also having a locked BL but there was this thing called 2nd-init wich would overwrite the stock init ramdisk with a custom one before boot. Could something like that be done for the G890A as well?

Edit: For ppl asking for 5.0.2 root, it's already achievable, check this thread.

According to my search there is no root for marshmallow android 6 yet , root for 5.1 is possible by flashing eng kernel that is being sold in some sites for about 50$ , i advice 5.1 users to try this

http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s6/general/root-5-1-1-qa-oj7-root-snag-t3334546

Since s6/s6 edge/s6 active are almost the same also if someone already have this eng kernel i can help him to dumb it from his phone and share it here on xda .
[Galaxy S6 Active] captaingowa:
Well I honestly cant think of a Samsung phone with an unlocked bootloader...

You said you rooted the Galaxy S7 with Exynos?

Last time I checked it has a locked bootloader as well.

S6 Active : Exynos 7420 older has the same GPU found in the Galaxy Note 4

S7 International : Exynos 8890 Newer everything.. has integrated Modem with CPU

Why is the bootloader in the S6 active impossible for you if you broke the encryption on the S7 ?
[Galaxy S6 Active] messi2050:
i never said that i rooted s7 lol , s7 has a leaked eng kernel that allows root on it after flashing and run a supersu script

In that case I highly suggest you to just use a package disabled on Playstore. But be careful of what apps you choose to disable, it may brick your phone or result in other consequences.

I suggest you to disable apps you can recognize.

Congratulations on the CM11 (RC3) build, I'm to happy my Samsung GT-S7562 revived !

I really like the build and appart from some minor bugs, it is a charm honestly.

I now have plenty of ram at my ease ranging from 120 to 330mb !!!! Extraordinay !

I was able with my son, to have a decent outcome running pokemon go APK. Though it requires 3G+ to have the pokemon chaser, refresh its

position to the pokemon server. Sometimes the game crashed and once the whole mobile crashed as well. But 95% of times decent pokemon go results.

As to some minor defects I observed so far:

- Sometimes the H (UMTS) / E (GSM/GPS) datatraffic doesn't pick up, despite the network indicating an at least average good mobile phone connection then a reboot does.

- The compass gets deactived without my knowing, regulary

Missing:

- In the Settings/Tiled view, you can enable the GPS/disable it, but can't select the modus it is in, you have to look it up elsewhere (nicer if you use the tiled shortcut)

- I do not see the option in apps to move the apps to the SD card (and app2sd from All-in-1_tool does not have the acticipated outcome either)

- Resources (SD , CPU & RAM) when pushing the home button for a prolongued time (as had the samsung build)

Is there a compatbility list of this build on vendors/models tested on this build ?

Again thanks for what the build brought to us !

:good:

Many thanks
