[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] timmyd21:
I tried the last update for a couple of days. So, here are my notes:

- System interface is a bit laggy although this is the smallest problem.

- When I make a call, sometimes I have to hang up and call again 3 or 4 times in order to hear the other persons voice.

- Some apps like Twitter takes long to load and they are a bit laggy as well but after loading lagginess is at a usable level.

- Like you mentioned on the notes, videos have low quality.

- Speaker sound can be improved but works fine.

- Bluetooth sound, in my opinion is at least as good as stock rom if not better. Excellent work here well done.

- Cameras and in app cameras like whatsapp and instagram work just fine.

- I think that Wifi can be a bit improved in terms of range.

- The user interface is very beautiful. Great job here also.

- Vpn apps work for me but i didn't try the built-in Vpn.

- Heavy apps like Tiktok and Reddit works fine.

- Biggest problem is the calling problem. Other than that it is a usable rom.

Great job overall in my opinion. Thank you for your efforts. You are trying to resurrect a 7.5 year old and that alone worths admiring. I will be looking forward to see the next updates.

Good Luck

Thanks for the reply.

Then I will try it !

Thanks a lot for your work @fakemanoan! The ROM is free but your time is not. I'm overall very satisfied with this ROM 🙂
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Sabuai:
Yes, indeed I did turn on screen navigation bar. That clears up the mystery, thank you!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] malim20:
Hey @fakemanoan I noticed the GPS location doesn't update while using Google Maps or Magic Earth for navigation. It gets stuck at one point and makes it impossible to use for navigation.

Thanks so much for your hard work! I don't know what you did, but even SW decoding uses less battery; but it seems now VP9 isn't using HW decoding. Otherwise, amazing!

Hello!

What solution would you recommend to do signature spoofing on that ROM so that I can use MicroG?

EDIT:

Anyone else NOT getting any GPS signal?

Network location works fine, but even after letting the phone in clear view of the sky for more than 30 minutes, I'll still seeing NO satellite at all (using SatStat and GPSTest).

I don't know if this is a bug but when pressing the soft keys (back and recent apps) while screen is turned off, they still react and vibrate. Did someone experienced it as well?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
thanks for the report and uploading a logcat. I will look into what is causing that.

Regarding the vulkan issue, not sure. I didn't do anything to break it, so not sure whats going on there. I will see what I can do.

Currently I am attempting to fix up the BSP so I can build HWC components from source. Will be nice to do that, also is kind of required to get the newer driver working.

I am redoing a lot of parts of the tree. That will take time though. That being said I will still release security update releases, and maybe if I get around to it, I will build crDroid or something. The future is bright for 7420 users!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] whyareallusernamestaken:
Please add support for w8 too 😉🙏 (or is it supported already? 🤔).
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] breversa:
Thanks @fakemanoan !

A few words of context:

This devices is brand new, most likely coming from a warehouse in China where it must have slept for years before being eventually switched on in Europe.

IIRC the original ROM was Android 7, and I installed all updates from within the phone, then flashed the latest stock firmware with Odin (just to be REALLY sure that it was up-to-date).

I then flashed TWRP, your LineageOS ROM, Magisk, then RiRu/LSposed to spoof signature to use MicroG and its location backends (they work fine).

It’s only when I tested precise/approximate locations that I noticed the former didn’t work.

I’ve read that in some conditions (like being switched on after years?), a device may take up to 24 hours to re-sync with the (GPS ? No idea about GloNASS/etc.) satellites, but unfortunately I’ve been unable to keep the phone powered on and in clean view of the sky for more than one hour at a time. I’ll keep trying though.

Also:

I mainly use Satstat (https://mvglasow.gitlab.io/satstat/index.html) to test location. The main screen should display the different GNSS satellites constellations, but with that S6, the bottom graph only displays GPS, not GloNASS (nor Beidou), with 0/0 satellites in use. I can provide a screenshot if needed.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] breversa:
Also, with LineageOS 18.1 (from https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-g920-5-f-i-s-k-l-11-0-unofficial-lineageos-18-1.4266447/), I could get a satellite fix in 69s on the first try.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] malim20:
The problem lies with the latest ROM unfortunately. I tried to use it for navigation and found the same thing. It doesn't update the location.

I can provide logs if it's required

I managed to compile: https://github.com/fakemanoan/local_manifests

Upon booting it tho, the screen is black, but adb shell does still very much work. I can browse the filesystem about 5-10 seconds into boot with adb. I flashed another complete other version of lineageos zerolftexx and it booted fine. What could be the problem? (I wiped everything and formatted data before flashing)

I applied all the patches and ran lunch before compiling. I used make bacon -j12. (I have the SM-G920F)

I can still turn off the phone and go into odin mode or twrp

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] SezBulent:
Hey, really enjoying this one, but one question though:

Could it be possible to replace the "screenshot" buttom with "Clear all" ? If so, where should I look for, as i didn't find it in the settings. Swiping all the way to the left seems pretty annoying and counter intuitive in order to access the Clear all option, and therefore I would like to have in at the bottom, in place of "Screenshot".
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
You can try replacing the launcher with Lawnchair if you're rooted. Here's the link: https://xdaforums.com/t/magisk-android-12-lawnchair-12-for-android-12-12l.4531621/
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] SezBulent:
@ArmashOnXDA thanks for the recommendation, I hope though that this change will be implemented in Trebuchet launcher as well, as I don't plan to have lineageos rooted for the moment.

Also, @fakemanoan enabling virtual nav keys completely makes the touchscreen unusable, therefore the phone ( g925f ) too. Can't even boot into recovery from the side keys, as I can not shut down the phone, just force restart it. I guess I cant even boot into recovery from ADB as the phone will ask for confirmation and won't be able to approve.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] enryfox:
I got that problem too yesterday while playing with settings: it seems the touchscreen is completely disabled if virtual nav keys are enabled. The only way out I found is to HW-reset the phone (push and keep pushed all four physical buttons) and then boot into recovery. I tried selectively deleting settings from the file system, but in the end I did a factory reset and started from scratch.

IMO virtual nav keys in this phone should be removed from settings, it really makes no sense to waste screen estate while the same keys are available "for real".

Other than that, really great ROM, I'm totally impressed.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] SezBulent:
@enryfox after keeping all the four buttons pressed, and phone restarting, how did you manage to enter into recovery? I tried immediately after rebooting, to keep volume up button, and all sort of combinations, but can't seem to enter into it when hard rebooting.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] enryfox:
As soon as the screen goes blank after shutting down, lift the finger from the vol- button while keeping the other pressed and it should boot into recovery. Tried several times on mine and worked always.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] SezBulent:
@enryfox indeed it worked, thank you!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] kwallet:
thank you for this rom, its amazing.

is there a way to tell if my battery is giving up hence the fast drain or the rom itself draining my battery too much?

this battery is kind of new, got it a few months ago.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] enryfox:
I have installed AccuBattery to verify the actual capacity of my battery (it is pretty old, it might be at 60% or original capacity), but indeed battery life is pretty bad, the phone barely lasts 12 hours even with screen off.

I use this old phone mostly to play with Android Auto and since installing the ROM from scratch a few days ago, I noticed Maps is a bit laggy. At first I installed this ROM on top of lineageOs 18.1 available in another thread and maps looked a lot smoother. Not sure if default CPU settings in this ROM favours battery life over performance.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] kwallet:
thats a bummer.

btw yesterday evening when i went to sleep the battery was around 70%, ive left the battery saver and wifi toggled on (airplane mode) but the screen was off all night, when i got up this morning the battery was around 20%.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] themediapadguy:
Thank you for keeping this phone alive. Can you add a S7 edge battery patch ?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] enryfox:
Did a bit of statistics with AccuBattery and numbers are pretty clear; my battery is still above 80% of original capacity so it is still in the "good" category.

According to the original gsmarena tests (back in 2015/16) the S6 EDGE should have 19h talking time, 10h web browsing and 12h video playback; numbers are quite different with my S6 EDGE and LOS 19.1: with screen off and hibernated it eats 3~4% each hour; with screen on it is an impressive 36% per hour which means less than 3 hours of screen ON time.

And you can feel it too, just by reading google feeds the phone gets warm, clear indication the SOC is working heavily. Not sure if it is due to non-optimised drivers or simply the android world of 2022 is too heavy for this 2015 SOC.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
The phone gets hot mainly because our HWC is currently broken at the moment, which means that the GPU and the CPU are being stressed constantly even during simple tasks like scrolling in Settings. It's also one of the reasons why there is a noticeable drop in battery life in LOS 19.1 and 18.1 (cause 19.1 is made from 18.1 sources)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] enryfox:
What is then the last LOS to have a working HWC, LOS 17.1 ?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
Android 10 is the last known version to have working HWC afaik. Both Lunarixus's EvX 10 and Enez's LOS 17.1 had working HWC's. After Lunarixus's departure from 7420. Only Enez was left to make trees to run A11 for the 7420...

But Enez's 18.1 trees had really ****ed configs and hacks that reallyyyyyy slowed down the performance of the 7420. Performance was never a priority for Enez, He just wanted to somehow get things working

Currently, Fakers is trying to reverse engineer the private bsp sources so that we could have a working HWC. There are also some old 7420 guys working on a treble project for the S6/Note 5 which will hopefully bring much better performance than Enez's trees
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
7420 is still very capable of running the latest versions of Android. It's just that no one has made any good trees after the A10 era
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] kwallet:
yesterday ive charged the battery to full and let it sit with different settings. ive noticed that if i turn off the battery saver ironically it drains slower.

also ive noticed that the proximity sensor doesnt work on the AOD. normally when the phone is in a pocket or turned upside down the sensor should turn off the screen completly (even AOD) to save power, this isnt happening.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] enryfox:
I'm currently testing LOS 17.1 from JoshuaDoes where HWC is supposedly working. UI seems indeed smooth, I will check battery life but first impression is that it is not better than LOS 19.1. Anyway if android auto is smoother thanks to HWC, I'm happy
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] enryfox:
After all it's a SOC from 2015 designed for Android version 5. It can be made to run modern versions of Android, but any current entry level from samsung (say A03 or A13) running android 12/13 offers a far better experience is terms of responsiveness and smooth UI
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] kwallet:
actually turning off animations is helping with overall smoothness in resource heavy apps.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
Trying scrolling in Play Store in EvX and LOS 19.1. You'll notice the difference. Latest versions of Discord and Google Photos are literally unusable in LOS 18.1 but they however work buttery smooth in EvX A10
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
S6 can easily best them. A03 and A13 are reallyyyy bloated by OneUI. Hell, My S6 Edge with EvX is easily able to beat my old iPhone 8 Plus in speedtest's (startup, apps, etc)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
I have never tried Joshua's ROM so I can't really say for sure what's up for him but just try EvX Android 10 once. You'll get what I'm saying
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] enryfox:
We are going a bit OT, so i'll be short - I can confirm LOS 17.1 has working HWC, maps in Android Auto is smooth and usable. EvX latest release is from April 2020, so it is missing 2.5 years of security fixes. Not that it matters much, but i might give it try. Not a big fan of the pixel experience, I prefer LOS as it is natively google-less and i can install only a minimal subsets of gapps.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] themediapadguy:
For some reason, wireless charging is very slow on this ROM, any idea why ?

Also looks like HWC is broken.

Hi

I have an issue with Roblox game loading. Its a fresh install of ROM, no root or other apps loaded. Roblox is the first app downloaded and installed from play store. When loading app it begins to run the exits before getting to log in screen. I've wiped the phone and went to LOS 18.1 from xda and roblox loads up fine. Then wipe and go back to Los 19,again only app installed and it won't load up to log in screen.

How can I provide more info? This is a phone for my son so roblox is beyond important to him! Lol

Thanks for you Rom and work
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] enryfox:
Frankly speaking, if you need to play games on the S6 Edge I would not use this ROM: HWC is not fully supported and most of 2D/3D drawing is done by the CPU. Even simple operation like scrolling through pages makes the phone warm due to the heavy load on the CPU. Battery life is also not exactly great, mine last few hours with screen on and other apps running.

IMO, for best performances, stock ROM is still the best, with optimised driver and cpu usage. It is android 7.0 which is slowly on its way out ...

Do not take me wrong, LOS 19.1 is a great ROM and I am amazed it runs so smooth overall, but hardware support still need improvement and that is really the hard part for any custom ROM.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] EggZenBeanz:
Thank you for the info, very useful. I'll take it back to stock in that case. cheers

Hello guys! Installation with odin was really tricky but it works like a charm!! It is an amazing release, performance on most benchmarks conducted has doubled compared to the ancient stock ROM. The only problem was Android encryption. It works now but it had never been really completed as it was stuck reporting 10 minutes remaining for more than 8 hours so I rebooted the device. NFC is not working. I tried to activate it but it was not enabled.

Yes, I can also report the problems that you have problems with making calls that the other side understands you too quietly and you cannot change the volume. when you change them you don't hear each other for a few seconds
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Marko97IT:
I tested this ROM and it's very nice job!

I found these bugs for now:

- UI is not smoothly, after you restart your phone and unlock it it will hang up;

- WPA-3 Personal is not supported to WiFi.

Thank you for your awesome project. I hope that you still update it and if you can, release Android 13.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] JohnyB222:
Somehow NFC got enabled but will need to test it. FM is not working too. Is there any tuner app known to work on such devices?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] JohnyB222:
- I had some hangs too when unlocking the screen with fingerprint. It gets unlocked but it is not possible to do anything. Looks like touch is disabled. Locking it and unlocking it with pin makes it work again.

- WPA3 does not work. Do not expect to see such networks with the Broadcom Wi-Fi driver used in kernel 3.10. Kernel 5.10 is needed. My SAMSUNG M31 running stock ROM with kernel 4.14 is not detecting them and got released 4 years later after S6 so I must liberate it soon...
