Hello dear Eric_Lev,

I really appreciate your effort for keeping up the support for the Galaxy S6 on the basis of that stable ROM. :good:

If I got your "without adding anything more" right, you just took the latest official ROM as the basis for your unofficial ROM and just (try to) add the monthly security patches on a regular schedule, right? That sounds great to me, because the old official LOS 14.1 ROM was "rockstable" imho. Any other attempts with LOS 15.1 and LOS 16 ROMs from enes and others didn't reach that quality level of the official LOS 14.1. So, I will switch to your ROM in the next few days.

For now I have just a few questions left:

1. Are your planing to become an official LOS Maintainer for the LOS 14.1 ROM?

2. OTA-Updates still don't work on your unofficial ROM, right?

3. Do you have a Telegram channel or chat, where you could provide us your ROMs in a more direct way aside XDA? (That would be great!)

Please keep up the good work and thank you very much! :highfive:

I have this latest ROM from 23.12.2019 on my zerofltexx since last week and it's running great! :good:

There ist really no need to still run the outdated official LOS 14.1-Version on our devices. I'm hoping to see the next monthly up-to-date-Builds from you! ;)

[MENTION=5964987]Eric[/MENTION]: :highfive: :D

Can anybody recommend me a good working GCam-Mod-Version for the S6. Of course the LOS 14.1 Snap-Cam is still cruel af!

Isn't there any solution out there? Did anybody here try one of the builds from Arnova8G2 (general Exynos), iDan (Galaxy S8+9 specific) or miniuser123 (Galaxy S7 specific)?

Compatibility-wise one of those should probably work better than anything else.

Did you inklude the latest security backport (2020-01-05) from https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_build/+/266631/

into your second ROM from this week you uploaded on thursday (https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261718153)?

It seems as if the LOS team is backporting the security strings from android 8 and above back to LOS 14.1 for a while. If they they do so, you should perhaps wait with your own builds until the new strings are released every month. You're providing ROMs for a bunch of devices atm. You should not need to do your work twice a month.

[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] ADB100:
There are now no longer any Official Lineage builds for S6/S6 Edge.

When 14.1 was official it was my daily driver on my S6 - albeit with the echo, BT and status LED issues it managed to get official status with - how?

When they dropped official support for 14.1 and didn't add official support for 15.1 I was a bit stuck and started to look at creating my own builds to fix the issues created from it being dropped from official support (not signed, no build fingerprint to pass safetynet cts etc).

After a bit of trial and error I managed to get a working Ubuntu 16.04 build environment and my own build scripts and importantly managed cook in an official build fingerprint and built it with non public keys. This allowed the ROM to pass safetynet and also more stringent checks from banking apps, NetFlix and Sky Q/Go (UK TV) apps that just wouldn't work (I am sure there are other apps that do deep checks, however the Sky Q/GO is a tough one to beat and I am surprised I managed to get Google Pay working before being able to watch Sky TV...).

The leap to 15.1 was fairly straight forward - there are 15.1 repos for zeroltexx/zerfltexx on the Lineage Github (https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_samsung_zero-common), however there is still no official support. I cloned these repos and then added in my own fixes and built it with my own keys and have subsequently uploaded these to my own Github so anyone can build Lineage 15.1 from source VERY easily.

I am not a programmer and I don't have the time or skills to fix anything complex, however the S6/S6 Edge sources I use are sound and I have been building once a month when the security fixes are merged.

I have toyed with 16.0 but have had too many issues so at the moment I am sticking with 15.1 - Its stable and everything works. The echo issue is still there, however its manageable if you turn the volume down or use a headset (BT or wired). The status LED issue is still there but again its manageable or you can just ignore it. I don't see any reason to go back to 14.1 as both these issues are also present in 14.1.

Kudos to Eric_Lev for keeping 14.1 alive but I really think there is no need and he should just build 15.1 instead. 15.1 is as stable if not more than 14.1.

14.1 seems like a backward step to me - you might as well run the stock Samsung ROM as this is Android 7.0 with everything officially supported.

I am guessing a lot of people running 16.0 or 17.1 will say that running 15.1 is a backward step....

[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] sailorpito:
Probably encryption is not working on that versions right?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] ADB100:
You could be right. I have never enabled encryption as I have never seen a need for it on a non-factory installed ROM. If you are a corporate and your company policy dictates that your employees phones are encrypted I seriously doubt you'd be installing Lineage on the phones or letting your employees install any custom ROMs.

Maybe that's the one reason to keep 14.1?

I still think the weight is in favour for 15.1 over 14.1 though.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] G A S T:
Well, at first it's a pitty that there's no dev left who wants to provide official LOS support for zerf(l)exx any more, since it's still a nice device (if the battery is still doing a good job). It's impressive when you look e. g. at the Galaxy S5 support (thanks to the non-exynos cpu).

With regards to LOS 15 you're probably right. But if Eric_Lev would be willing to provide further updates on a LOS 15.1 basis, it would be very usefull to integrate your fixes. Don't you think that you two could cooperate in this case? Perhaps you won't need to build four your own (and people like me who got your great working builds for testing after asking you again, and again. ?)

[MENTION=9708417]Eric_Lev[/MENTION]: What do you think about this proposal? Isn't it worth a try to build LOS 15.1 with Andys fixes?

And I think nobody here would regret having inofficial, partly fixed LOS 15.1 as a little step forward instead sticking with LOS 14.1 totally unfixed as it is. Im running LOS 17.1 on my Mi 8 as a DD and I wouldn't say that LOS 16 or 15.1 are totally outdated from this PoV.

Do I have to flash each new update or can I just update through OTA?

To update the build :

1. Boot to TWRP

2. Flash only the new release

3. Reboot to System

And I won't lose any data or any saved accounts or apps doing that?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Eric_Lev:
No sweat as long as you don't format/wipe Data partition.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] 7mada:
After almost 48 hours of testing on G925i:

- The ROM is a little laggy during the animations

- I got 2 hours of SOT with heavy use, which I used to get on the previous ROM (S8+ port)

- Idle battery loss is very high, which again was high on the previous ROM

- Instagram stories show in 360p or less quality and its annoying

- Random loud noise occasionally occurs when scrolling past a video on twitter which gave me a scare multiple times until I got used to it

- Sound is very loud and sharp compared to the previous ROM

Can I dirty flash from Erics 14.1 to pitrus 17.1, without loosing data?

Do I need new OpenGapps for 17.1 after dirty flash and if yes which one?

thx
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Eric_Lev:
Try a dirty flash but I recommend a clean flash.

Note you can dirty flash from LOS 16.0 to LOS 17.1.

LOS vs. Open Gapps:

- pico or nano is highly recommended ... https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps.html

- ARM 64 - android 9 for LOS 16.0 ... https://opengapps.org/?api=9.0&variant=pico

- ARM 64 - android 10 for LOS 17.1 ... https://opengapps.org/?api=10.0&variant=pico

Backup your data and, if needed, perform a nandroid backup via TWRP.

If root, you can backup your app with Migrate app.

A possible dirty flash :

1. Remove your screen lock (if needed) and boot to TWRP.

2. Flash/install the latest official TWRP (if needed)

3. Boot to TWRP

4. Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Wipe cache + Dalvik + sytem ... only ... Don't wipe data.

5. Boot to TWRP

6. Go to Settings > Disable "Prompt to install TWRP app if not installed"

7. Copy from a PC the zip files (latest LOS 16.0 or 17.1 build + open gapps ... only) to Internal storage or SD card

8. Flash/install build + gapps ... only

==> Do NOT install the TWRP app when prompted (if asked), this will cause a bootloop

9. Reboot to System

10. Enjoy ... maybe ... ?

A possible clean flash :

1. Remove your screen lock (if needed) and boot to TWRP.

2. Flash/install the latest official TWRP (if needed)

3. Boot to TWRP

4. Wipe > Format data > Yes

5. Boot to TWRP

6. Wipe > Advanced Wipe and wipe all partitions

7. Boot to TWRP

8. Go to Settings > Disable "Prompt to install TWRP app if not installed"

9. Copy from a PC the zip files (latest LOS 16.0 or 17.1 build + open gapps ... only) to Internal storage or SD card

10. Flash/install build + gapps ... only

==> Do NOT install the TWRP app when prompted (if asked), this will cause a bootloop

11. Reboot to System

12. Enjoy ... hope so

Optional (in a second step) :

- flash/install LOS addon su or Magisk for root (if needed) ... Note no los addon su with LOS 17.1.

- boot to System

- boot to TWRP

- flash/install Migrate zip file to restore your APP+SMS ... if needed

- boot to System

How these builds differ from enesuzun's builds?

Now, I use his 04.18 LOS 16.0 build, which seems to handle GPS better.

However, the echo issue was "fixed" lowering the MIC gain (in mixer_paths.xml?), which causes very low volume on the caller side.

So, I am considering to try your build as well... :)

Hi Eric - how good are the sources for 16.0 & 17.1? I have been building 15.1 for a while using my own forked sources from those for zero still on github.com/lineageos/ with a few fixes.

I want to build and test 16.0 and maybe 17.1 but need some good sources to start with. If I initialise my Build environment for 16.0 can I just use your local manifests for s6 and s6 edge without any other changes and build the roms?
