[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
appreciate the support! :)

dont hold me to this, but (hopefully) i plan to have all s6 variants with an A12L release by the end of the week, including W8 variants.

I still can't get the fingerprint sensor working properly. I don't want to keep the releases back if that doesn't work though, as everything else appears to work fine.

After I release the new builds, i'll try get SELinux to enforcing, DT2W and the new pixel power HAL working. We'll see how that goes lol
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
Yes. You can boot the new version of LineageOS for G925 by flashing the boot.img provided in the github
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
ahaaa thank you let me check
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
Just extract the .zip file and flash the .IMG in your recovery

Here's the link:

https://github.com/fakemanoan/LineageOS-Releases/files/9732076/boot.zip
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
I was already getting pissed off on my inbox at Youtube , thanks bro
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
Its alright. Let me know if it works!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ZakMcRofl2:
I dirty flashed lineage-19.1-20221006-UNOFFICIAL-zerofltexx.zip over the previous version lineage-19.1-20220827-UNOFFICIAL-zerofltexx.zip without any wipes or reinstallation of Gapps (could that have been a mistake?)

Everything looked fine. Phone was at 90% charge, I used it very little (maybe 15 minutes) and it suddenly turned off. After starting it up again, it reported 0% but ran just fine in recovery mode.

Take this report with a grain of salt because this battery was previously discharging quickly as well, but it has never had this "jumpy" behaviour. I will search for guide on how to debug this but LineageOS-specific suggestions are welcome.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
Yes of course it does bro !!!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
Hi all

Those on the S6 edge, here is a new release:

Release LineageOS 19.1 for G920F and G925F · fakemanoan/LineageOS-Releases

New releases: Major changes from last release include: Re-released S6 Edge version, it now should boot Modified powerhints.json a bit.

github.com

This should fix the issues you were having

This is on the EQ1 kernel with the necessary additions, so I recommend using that over the temporary boot.zip.

There is also a small modification to the powerhints.json file for regular S6 users.

it is likely that your battery is no longer good and needs replacing. I have also had that issue and replaced my battery, it is not particularly expensive or difficult to do.

If you want to replace your battery, consider doing an S7e mod, which is documented well on these forums and here:

BatteryMod

A complete guide on upgrading your Galaxy S6.

duckyb.github.io
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
Video on the way

Thanks for the fast fix
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ZakMcRofl2:
Did you use the S7E mod yourself? Is the code for it in the kernel shipped with this phone or do I need to use one of the custom kernels provided on the site you linked?

Also, I found someone with a very similar issue, his phone goes to 0% quickly and then he can spend a lot of time in the recovery menu (as can I).

https://xdaforums.com/t/s7-edge-battery-in-s6.3878389/post-79037580

I'm open to trying the mod but I wanted to check first if it is a calibration issue, your link might also be helpful for that.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ZakMcRofl2:
Never mind, just saw that a custom kernel is no longer needed.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] wickedlyf:
Quick question, how can i fix the status bar? It is not properly aligned on my device.

Loving the rom so far
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
Are you referring to the icon's located on the top right corner on the screen?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] AsgardFork:
Any chance to work on note 5
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
perhaps at a later date, who knows.

i believe that is an "issue" with android 12 in general. If I recall correctly there are magisk modules that allow you to change the status bar padding, but I am not aware of the name.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] wickedlyf:
Yes
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] wickedlyf:
Thanks! I will check it later.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Charlie Evans:
Hi everyone, will there be an Android 12 ROM for Galaxy S6 Edge T-Mobile ? Thanks everyone 🥲
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] malim20:
I don't know if you got your answer but this is how I did it for future reference:

* Enable Zygisk on 25.2

* Enforce DenyList

* Configure DenyList: {Play Store; Google Wallet; BankApp}

* Hide Magisk from apps. (Not needed for later versions)

* Install Universal SafetyNet Fix & MagiskProps Hide Config zips

* Temp enable SU access

* Type `su` -> `props` -> `1` -> `f` -> `26` -> `55` to change fingerprint

* Reboot and check device certification in PlayStore and YASNAC
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] malim20:
I dirty flashed the latest version on the Edge variant but it seemed liked the On-screen buttons didn't yet work for gestures. But then I re-flashed and the screen works now 😅
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] malim20:
Does the Messages app work slow when entering message threads for anyone else? I think the fault is on Messages, but I don't know since I only started using it. It's so annoying

Anyway, thank you fakemanoan! And also ArmashOnXDA for the fingerprint fix!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] malim20:
Sorry for spamming, but it seems the latest version gets hot very fast and loses battery just as quickly. I dirty flashed the Rom and Magisk (I didn't re-flash Gapps), so I don't know if that could contribute to it?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] SonicoXD:
Great update! I did a clean flash with NikGapps (was using MindTheGapps before) and everything works fine. There does seem to be an improvement in battery life, but I should wait a few more days to actually tell. I've noticed the kernel now comes with MoRo's Sound Control, pretty cool.

@fakemanoan a little request! Since you've said you plan to ship a heavily modified kernel, would it be too much to ask if you could add the Lionfish CPU governor to it? It's what I had been using with the previous release (compiled my own kernel with your sources) and it was working great: the phone heats less due to it spending more time on the slower frequencies, battery life increases a bit and performance is the same as with interactive (with an exception: there are random stutters while watching youtube videos using that governor). Of course it shouldn't be the default governor, but it being included as an option would be great :). If you agree, I could make a Pull Request (I'm not experienced with kernel development however).
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
Sure. I don't see a problem including it

I'll look into it
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] d4r1u5h:
Hi, thanks for all your efforts for the great development

Bugs of removing the call sound by activating the speaker Thank you
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ZakMcRofl2:
I just wanted to say my goodbyes to this subforum. In my attempt to do the S7E battery mod, I ruined the LCD screen and the good old Galaxy S6. Probably when trying to get out the old battery. But hey, I learned how to open a glued together phone, knowledge that may be helpful in the future.

It's not like I am dependant on that phone.

I feel like a screen replacement is not worth it at this point. It will find a new owner hopefully.

Thanks for all the helpful tips and the effort of building this ROM.

R.I.P Galaxy S6
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
Sorry to hear that.

OLED screens for these older phones are generally as expensive as a good quality used phone, so in most cases it isnt really viable to fix it. But some "parts only" phones on a site like ebay might have working screens for significantly cheaper, but there are no guarantees.

My builds should have USB debugging on, so you should be able to transfer any important files you have on the phone via "adb pull" commands on your PC.

Hope you can find a way to fix it.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] tobias20170:
Hi, I have a problem with the new android 12 update, I don't have a play store and I can't set up android auto. Because I don't have any gapps for it. Can you help me fix it? Thank you in advance .
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] whyareallusernamestaken:
@fakemanoan

Thank you for the time and effort you're putting into developing new roms for the s6!

I got a couple of questions for you:

1. Any eta for the Canadian w8 version? 😉

2. Does the s7edge battery work out of the box or is an app needed to calibrate it or does the kernel you plan to release do that automatically?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
I will try to get a Canadian version in the next release.

There are no mods done to support s7e mod at this time. I would suggest following calibration steps in the S7e batterymod page, as it has worked for me.

There is a MindTheGapps package that was premodified on the github releases page. If you dont want to use that, nikgapps or bitgapps have been reported to work also
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] MiguelSantaCruz:
After using this ROM for the past few days (with the modified MindTheGApps flashed) I can say it is very responsive and generally fast to use. However I can point out some problems with the latest build:

The official Twitter app is very unresponsive and almost unusable especially when it tries to load images and videos. I'm almost certain that the problem is not related with the application itself.

The haptic feedback on the physical buttons to return and view open applications is enabled when the screen is off. I can feel the phone vibrate when pressing on them with the screen off and I think this is a bug.

GPS location works meaning it can locate the device when opening google maps for example but when entering navigation mode the location doesn't update making the device appear at rest when it is moving ( The problem does not seems to be related with the google maps app)

And lastly I would like to thank everyone contributing to the development of this ROM because you are doing an amazing job that needs to be recognised. I have donated and I don't regret it for a second. Thanks.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] NAJI23:
I can't download this rom chrome forbiden to continue downloading
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Ender of Games:
So I flashed this rom to my Canadian variant. I might stay with it, I generally don't try to change back and forth too much, but I had to reflash Lineage 17.1 after something weird happened to my system.

zerofltecan G920W8, Bell bought. I actually did the edge variant (zeroltexx) first, oops. I wish lineage let me input the *#2663# code, but it is blocked and I had to flash some stock rom and tools to fix it.

I'm hesitant that it isn't draining battery much faster. But in the first few days, it is pretty hard to tell. So far, it lasts as long as Lineage 17.1 if I turn the battery saver on. Not enough to make me stop using it, though.

But my last test might be a deal breaker: Call audio doesn't work. Speaker phone doesn't fix it. I haven't tested outgoing sound, but could do that if needed. Maybe this is a problem with the W8 being unsupported, I'm not sure. Is there a way to fix this, or will have to wait for this ROM to support the W8?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] AfreenOnXDA:
The Twitter app is really unoptimized for Android devices. Even my Galaxy S21 lags when scrolling through the Twitter feed. Sure, Some of the apps are laggy like Discord or Play Store but apart from that the ROM works really smooth. Atleast for me.

Speaking of Google Maps, The recent versions of Google maps have this updating problem where it doesn't update the location fast enough and thus shows that you're going at 0 KM/H. Installing Old Versions of GMaps like Google Maps 10.72.3 works just fine
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] AfreenOnXDA:
I have a similar problem as well. I can't hear any audio during calls for about 10-20 seconds and even after that the call audio quality is really bad and i can't really make out what the other person is saying on the other side of the phone. I have a G920F. @fakemanoan Can you please fix this in the next update?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
The call audio is a mixed bag for me personally. Sometimes I am able to hear, sometimes I'm not but i would say that majority of the time i'm not able to hear what the other person is trying to say.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] techjeed:
S6 G20F dual sim not working, it show only single sim
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
What are you talking about? S6 supports single SIM only, unless you're using some sort of adapter
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] AfreenOnXDA:
@fakemanoan Can you please fix the Call Audio issue in the next update in G920F? Please????
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
Hi thanks all for the reports. I'll see if I can work on a fix for the call issues along with official support for W8 models.

I am still working on the project, so dont worry about that, but just expect a small delay between releases while I sort some stuff out.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] malim20:
Can I just get confirmation, is no one else's phone overheating on the latest update? If so, I might need to factory reset and re-install it. Because my battery is finishing so fast! I used to be able to watch x265 10-bit with Software decoding, but on the latest version that and just normal apps decimate my battery and the power button gets very, very hot

Also, fakemanoan thank you so much for your great effort!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] SonicoXD:
Perhaps your problem comes from an old battery + the CPU usage being constantly high. On my device the small cores are always performing at their maximum, which after some time generates heat and causes the whole interface to lag a lot

I'm however not experiencing overheating, and I did a clean flash.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] reon_todd:
been using los19.1 on my s9 for a while but it has some bugs like keyboard appears for a fraction of seconds and then dissapear on some apps especially on coc

if i switch my phone to battery saver and palying some games wifi will disconnect by itself

third call quality is very bad sorry for my english
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Ender of Games:
I'm also wondering if that governor you were talking about was on... I've had huge sections of lag, and I don't know how to deal/stop that. The extreme battery usage isn't 100% of the time, too. It's odd, I might have to find something that monitors that much more closely.

I've had overheating with this phone before, but on this ROM I've had none. I do use a G920W8, but Sonico also says no overheating.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] malim20:
I thought the kernel needs to support swap?

cat /proc/cpuinfo

doesn't show that it does have support. But when I created a swapfile:

dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=524288
mkswap swapfile
swapon swapfile

cat /proc/meminfo
free -h

EDIT.

I don't think it's using it, the zram partition only shows
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] BOTUS:
great to see a new ROM. Mine is still stock and the other day I got an update

PDA	G920FXXU6EVG1

it seems to have brought emergency calls with no SIM to the party - I get more icons on the screen - does loading an aftermarket ROM play havoc with this update or ?

I installed it and everything is fine except phone app is a little buggy .

You cant turn call volume down . everybody around you can hear your calls

and the phone app itself is laggy and slow . im not complaining just letting you know the problems and appreciate the work you done . thanks alot

and i have one question : If you happened to fix these someday can i update trough phone's normal update or have to install the rom from scratch again ? thanks again

and sorry for sloppy english

Edit : uh i forgot another thing : I installed express vpn app and it showed Warning : you device is Rooted ... extra extra

but when i installed root checker it says : Your device is not rooted properly .

I dont know its a bug or not but i thought its worth mentioning .
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] julior9308:
Wow!!! Great work. You’re great!!!! My device is W8, still waiting 🥺. You’re the best
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] 04ThomasX_X:
Dude thats amazing project for R.I.P g92X😁 good job

i'm here for told you some bug hope its help to you to make better legend...

1. VPN! vpn not working. its connect but IP not change.

its free project. thanks man for make it read my comment only as a friendly.

edit: 1 & 5 fixed when i used HTTP injector.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
Fast charging should work just fine. It's probably your charging cable that's causing the issue
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] SonicoXD:
VPN is working fine, LED is working fine.

With my phone I have to disable the fast charging option for fast charging to work.

GApps work fine.

What phone are you using?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] AfreenOnXDA:

github.com

Why was this release delayed?

I planned to have oreo graphics working, and although they work just fine, our HWC was actually broken, going all the way back to the first lineage 18.1 that was released. I could have released the r22p graphics in a working state, and we would get a nice performance bump in benchmarks, but HWC would still broken. I think a smoother UI is better in this case.

In order to get the faster r22p graphics, I need to rebuild from source, the current prebuilts simply dont support it. Our current source needs fixing up to get HWC working. So...

If anyone reading this knows of someone who can help us fix our HWC, please let me know. Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] whyareallusernamestaken:
Thanks for the update. No support for w8 yet right? At the moment I'm on stock testing a 'new' s7 edge battery which drains fast and has the phone crashing dropping from 65% to 0% 😐.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Wolf Alpha:
Hello. How can I do the update ?? Flash directly the new ROM or i need to delete the old one ??

Thanks. You do good and clean rom

Yeah Yes, During a call we hear nothing I too have the same problem. I hope it will be solved soon.

Bug report from my side as an app developer who also uses the Vulkan graphics API:

Vulkan-based apps still crash. for example https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.saschawillems.vulkancapsviewer among others.

which, however, works flawlessly with the Samsung Stock ROM. Thus, there seems to be something wrong with the Mali T760 MP8 graphics driver as well.

Hi and thank you fakemanoan for this wonderful ROM.

I was playing around and found two strange apps named 10120 and 10124 in WiFi usage data consuming about 3-4% of bandwidth.

When I clicked on them there was no more information and even data usage was hided in one of them (10120).

Do you have any idea about them?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] :
Hi all, sorry for my bad english.

My S6 has a broken home button, I wanted to ask if it was possible to activate the virtual keys on the screen at the bottom with this rom.

Is it also possible to enter recovery directly on reboot without pressing the middle button?

Thanks to whoever can answer me and to fakemanoan for continuing the development of S6.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] SonicoXD:
Yes both are possible
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
Might be because you had enabled "Navigation Gestures" during the setup process. There is a bug where the keydisabler will completely break the Entire ROM in the Edge varaints
