[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] tdhite:
Description

TDH-JR is a stock derived ROM that is extremely debloated, deodexed and comes with a highly stable, tunable and fast kernel (@tdhite Skyhigh). This ROM is not for those seeking a lot of UI tweaks, mods or otherwise. If you want that, go get BiggDaddy or similar. This ROM is about sticking as close as possible to stock less the bloat, though also extremely battery efficient, fast, clean and highly stable.

How to Install

READ THE DISCLAIMER BEFORE INSTALLING!

Assure you are on the appropriately similar firmware (see Previous Releases above for the correct firmware for prior releases of this ROM).

Make a backup of your existing rom (TWRP nandroid is best)

Backup apps as desired (e.g., via Titanium Backup)

Place the ROM flashable downloaded from the link(s) above in internal storage (e.g., /sdcard)

Boot into TWRP Recovery

Wipe Cache, Dalvik in all cases, Data if you are not dirty flashing.

Dirty flashing coming from pure stock may work, but no promises

Dirty flashing over a previous, clean install of this ROM should work fine

Flash (i.e., Install in TWRP) the ROM flashable zip

Reboot (to System)

Enjoy!

Dirty Flashing

Generally dirty flashing over stock setups should work fine, losing no settings. To do so:

Upgrade to corresponding Firmware version (e.g., QF1) in Odin (or if you already have, no need);

Copy the downloaded zip flashable to somewere in /sdcard (let's just presume that dir for now);

Load TWRP Recovery;

Backup your existing Stock QA2 ROM;

Wipe Dalvik, Cache, System (Data optionally);

Install this ROM from where you copied it (e.g., /sdcard/TDH-JR-G920P-QA2.zip);

Reboot to System -- it will take a good long time (and likely at least one reboot), just hang with it;

Once up, if you did not use the 'Briefing' Page in your UI, just turn it of again -- upgrades generally turn it back on;

Enjoy.

After installing this ROM, the initial boot will take many minutes and will likely reboot at least once during its initial setup sequence. Many operations are taking place (e.g., Dalvik regeneration, Synapse support setup, etc.).
