[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
Hi all, just a small update.

I am working on a "new kernel", one that is based on g920f kernel source as opposed to the A810F source. People say it is a better kernel, so I will swap over to that for the time being. Just working on getting it updated.

I have the Pixel power HAL working, which will come in the next release. So hopefully some better battery life comes with that

I should be able to get DT2W working in the next release also., but no promises as always :)

Fingerprint still is not working, still working on a fix.

G925 should have working a fully working touchkey disabler in the next build.

I will work on fixing the torch on delay with the camera. It isnt a problem with 3rd party apps so it is a low priority for now.

As long as my S6 remains at least partially functional, I will still try work on updates, at least for the time being. Havent attempted to get A13 yet, so who knows.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
That's great news bro , I was having a free day testerda but saw this message passing by , great idea A13 but only if you feel like it , anyway i,m back hope the video was ok :)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
We only just began , it will all come in it's place in time , Time is on our side ..
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Phebo90:
Hi all i'm new in this forum. I try to install this in my S6 but when i go start for the initizialization, the phone is locked on logo.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
Hi Welcome to XDA :)

Can you give us some more info ? What version TWRP are you using and did you do Format DATA and confirmed by typing yes?

and what version of Android was the phone running before you flashed this rom>?is your Phone G920F or G925F ?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Phebo90:
Hi Concept, i use TWRP 3.3.1, no i'm not formata data but clean -> advanced clean and i flagged system data cache and Dalvik/Art Cache than i imported the rom and the gapps and installed. I had lineage os 18.1 before.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
Ok you go back to TWRP , select Wipe , then FORMAT DATA (everything will be wiped (make back up to pc ) After format data tab home in TWRP and select reboot /recovery , when back into recovery , Flash LineageOS 19 reboot ..
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Phebo90:
Done but i have the same problem, stuck on animated logo and now i have the illuminated keys but dont run.

Wait some time?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
Your Phone G920F or G925F ?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Phebo90:
G920F
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
Ok now were talking ok and it was running LneageOS 18.1 Right ..So you installed the right rom , after a format data , and rebooted back into recovery , flashed 19.1 and it's now hanging ? or did it boot in main time already? How about did you flashed gapps right after flashing the rom , and what type of package ? please dont flash gapps yet , only rom and reboot .
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Phebo90:
i had lineage os unofficial 18.1,found on github. but i had a lot of bugs for example didn't run the hotspot and i had some problem with the modem
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
I edited my above reply can you reply to it please.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Phebo90:
No don't run and if i wait a lot of time crash and reboot. Now i replicated all passages without installing the gapps i have the same problem.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
ok smells like partition problem , do you see any red lines while wiping ? I think you can better start from scratch .. download official at samfw.com g920F install via odin , see if all works good , go download mode , flash TWRP tar , reboot into twrp , format data , reboot recovery , flash

That's very strange bro , maybe the kernel you were running on 18 , fix your phone first https://samfw.com download your s6 g920 build and restore with ODIN , then we start from scratch,
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ZakMcRofl2:
Netflix and Disney+ are not working for me after stock install of

lineage-19.1-20220827-UNOFFICIAL-zerofltexx.zip and

NikGapps-core-arm64-12.1-20220831-signed.zip

Both don't show up in the Play Store and when I downloaded them as APK they give 500-1006 (Netflix) and Code 39 (Disney+).

I am assuming this has something to do with Widevine DRM or missing libraries or SE Linux or being "rooted" (I did not root lineageos but TWRP is installed). Does anyone have a tip?

EDIT: Did some digging:

https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/mo4cad
This matches pretty well what is happening ("Probably safetynet has failed (you can check in Google Play -> Settings -> About and look at Device Certification. If it says uncertified, safetynet has failed.")

The question now is if I should try to fix it myself with Magisk or if you saviour fakemanoan can build something into the ROM to make Safetynet work

Looks like this is expected behaviour for LineageOS https://lineageos.org/Safetynet/

A couple potential solutions are posted here: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-pass-safetynet-android/

From the methods listed there, the ih8sn looks like the least invasive, maybe this guide will work:

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-official-alioth-aliothin-12-1-lineageos-19-1.4418635/post-86895933

fakemanoan what's your stance here, is that something you'll consider to include in the ROM itself or should users find their own solutions (and document there here for those who wish to fiddle)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
Plays fine here Netflix is a drm thing just watch https://ustvgo.tv get veepn
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ZakMcRofl2:
Can you clarify:

1) Netflix works for you?

2) Disney+ works for you?

3) Did you install anything but the stock rom + gapps?

4) Which gapps did you use?

5) What does using a VPN and ustvgo.tv have to do with Netflix and Disney Plus
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
I just send you a site , forget netflix for now rom has just born ..I dont use gapps , neither netflix , dont need them i have ustvgo
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ZakMcRofl2:
You wrote "it plays fine here" in a direct response to my report that Netflix and Disney Plus are not working yet. Do you not see how this is misleading?

Thanks for clarifying though.

I know it is a new ROM, that is why it needs good bug reporting, to make its creator aware of issues.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
First of all, Big shout out and THANKS to @fakemanoan for your great work of going ahead and keeping this old device alive!

It's been a week since I've started using this ROM as my daily driver for my day-to-day tasks.

I'm having a great time so far... The phone gets a bit hot ♨️ compared to the other ROM's that I've used before but the Battery🔋 life has been amazing to say the least (Atleast much better compared to that of EvolutionX's)

The only problems i found was 👾:

1) The performance is kinda bad compared to the other ROM's that I have used previously. Take Discord as an example....Using Discord with this ROM is so painfully slow and laggy that it makes it unusable. Scrolling in apps can be laggy sometimes. Google Photos is also quite aggy as well.

Even the Phone Dialer's have been very very laggy, especially the Google Dialer. It takes 5-10 second's or even more to switch from the Earpiece to the Speaker, vice-versa. Also, Sometimes the phone mic won't pick up anything at all for about 10-15 seconds when you pick up someone's call. I can make a video to explain things better. I know and understand that this ROM is in development at the moment and it will definitely have some bugs and performance stability issues, but that doesn't mean this ROM is bad and unusable!

2) This brings us to our next problem... The Bluetooth Connectivity. Bluetooth sucks. I can't put the phone in my pocket because the music becomes destorted and begins to stop. It happens even when the phone is just a few cm away from the headset.

3) The RAM Management is kinda ok-ish. You can still do light multi-tasking just fine tho but I'm personally a very heavy user and the ROM's that i've used before have much better RAM management and keep the apps running in the RAM for a longggg time.

Apart from all these issues, Everything else has been great like Fast charging, Battery life, Camera, AUX quality, but what i love the most about this ROM are the animations. They can be a bit laggy at times but the animations are just phenomenal, especially on the gorgeous display of the S6. Enough for me to keep using this ROM as my daily driver!

Again Massive Thanks to fakemanoan for making this ROM! Wish you and Everyone else the best and hope you all have smiles on your faces! :D
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
You can use Riru and Lposed to pass the safetynet check. For Netflix, you would have to flash another magisk module to install and make it work. Let me know if you need the files for that!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
I like people that trow up the misleading Bomb that while nobody asked you to install this rom ..read once again what I said , Disney plays fine here only I dont need No Netflix to play it , these are 2 different things , buy a new phone and go watch your netflix and facebook tv on there bro .
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
To pass safetynet, a bunch of requirements have to be met, including SELinux enforcing. 7420 has been permissive ever since A10 iirc. Obviously passing safetynet would be great, but for the time being don't expect that to change until everything is running smoothly.

You can use magisk modules to spoof safetynet for the time being. This would be no different to past S6 releases. Hopefully in the future it will pass safetynet pretty much out of the box.

New builds won't come out until I update the kernel. Won't know how long that will take, but hopefully that is soon.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ZakMcRofl2:
Why are you so hostile? I have plenty other devices to play Netflix and Disney Plus from, how is that relevant here? Nobody comes here with any expectations, it is a free ROM provided by a hobbyist.

However it is in everybody's interest that we are clear about what works and what doesn't work to prevent useless requests or nagging for things that aren't easily fixable. It also helps newcomers make an informed decision if this is the right ROM for them. This can also be done by sharing information amongst the users.

fakemanoan gave a very clear response, thanks for that. My laymen's summary would be that

A) Not passing Safetynet is a known issue

B) It will likely not be fixed in the near future

C) There are solutions to manually fix it immediately yourself if you invest time reading up on them (magisk modules, Riru and Lposed)

From your own replies Concept48 it sounds like you were aware of none of these points before this discussion. So now you, me and every other newcomer learned something. And the public has a better understanding on the state of DRM in this ROM. Developers like fakemanoan often omit this information because it is so obvious to them from their passive knowledge about previous ROMs that also had these issues.

Which is completely fine and normal but it also means it does add value to re-state them for those unaware.

I am confident that I can figure it out myself based on the comment from ArmashWasTaken. If I find the time to get it working, I will post a guide here (or link to the one I used) so others can reproduce it.

Similarly, since you (Concept48 ) have found a way to run Disney+ on this image out of the box, it would be nice if you could share what you did differently to me (other gapps? where did you get the APK from?)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] AfreenOnXDA:
Same here! Even I'm having problems when I receive a call from someone. They can't hear me/ I can't hear them for some seconds (15-20 approx). Google Photos is very laggy for me as well. Could you please look into the app lag and phone dialer problem in the next release? Till then, Do you have any temporary fix for these issues @fakemanoan?

But if we keep all these issues aside, the ROM is awesome. I'm loving every second of using it. Thank you so much!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Phebo90:
hi bro, so now all work fine, i removed the flag in twrp first reboot that say 'install as a System App'. Thx so much for the help
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Phebo90:
the same problem with the calls i had with lineage os 18. In my opinion the must problem is the overheating
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
try calling with a no gapps installation- see if that works better
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
Mabe you need a new battery , here my 920F with 90% battery , plays 8 hrs radio while i sleep and when I wake up battery is at 60% , to me that is very good , but I did not install gapps just Aurorastore , works great , Tv i watch via the browser , ustvgo.tv and for now I use Bitdefender trial 7 days VeePn , works for me nice .
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] SonicoXD:
1) Discord is unusable here as well (S6 flat), but I'm sure that'll get fixed in the future, we just have to wait. Google Photos is a bit laggy but perfectly usable, and for the dialer (stock, AOSP dialer), it seems to be working fine to me, but I haven't used it much.

2) Have you tried with wired headphones? I was having the same problem with wired (and solved it with a different CPU governor, but that's out of the question).

3) That's to be expected, Android 12 suggests a minimum of 6GB of RAM. As I've said in a previous comment, you can solve that (and the reduce the phone's heat!) by adding a swap file, either with an app or a magisk module (both options require root). I personally have added a 1.5GB swap file and set swappiness to 80%, using Swapper for Root
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] eJ4y:
because of what kind of reasons system wont boot without connected charge?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Antdoid:
Does this work on g920p, zerofltespr? thanks in advance
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
no not currently. hopefully other versions will get supported in time. Now that I have a little spare time to work on the project, i can make some more progress on things, and maybe release some builds. No ETA at this time, but my plan is to eventually support your device.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] AfreenOnXDA:
Did you get the fingerprint working or that kernal that you were talking about earlier??
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
the g920f based kernel is working. fingerprint remains broken for the time being
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] RDPCode_COOL:
Does it already support all versions of S6? Such as G920F, G920P, G920T, G920 (China)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
It only supports 920F, 920I, and 920S and their edge counterparts at the moment
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
I fixed discord's lag by using the older apk's released in 2020... Discord works hella smooth now. Did the same thing for Google photos as well and it's working a bit better than before but unfortunately I couldn't fix the dialer calling lag... Hooefully the new kernal that fakemaoan is working on fix this issue.

I tried using a different CPU governer but it still didn't help. Bluetooth still sucks.

I tried using swapper and oh my lord, it fixed the RAM issue. The phone is working much smoother now. It's also not heating up that often.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
Heyyyy that's awesome! So when are you planning to release the next build?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
When it is ready :)

But there is no ETA at the moment. Maybe expect something within a month.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] adam_warlock98:
Put android 12 pixel experience
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
Fingerprint is the only complaint that I have now. I hope you get it fixed in next build. Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] AfreenOnXDA:
Same for me. I just wish for the fingerprint to be working for the next update, that's it!!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] syrisdia:
Is there a version for zentle out? I'd like to try it out on my s6 edge plus.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] LordMJunior:
testing on S6 Edge and everything is working normally so far, the lags have decreased a lot after I added 1GB of swap memory, thanks for the time you're spending on the rom
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Fytdyh:
can you link a guide on how to add swap memory ?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] LordMJunior:
I used the RamExpander app (https://apkcombo.com/roehsoft-ram-expander-swap/com.swapit.expander.de) to add the swap memory, you will need root to be able to add the memory and it's quite simple to do, if you click on the three dots at the top right and click on "Help" there is a tutorial on how to use each function, adding swap memory has improved a lot the rom but there are some apps like Twitter that still very laggy
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
I've noticed another bug.... AOD won't adjust to the environment and the lighting conditions. The display clock won't get bright enough in bright outdoor situations. The AOD's auto brightness is broken
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] makrisj:
s6 edge and waited for like 1 hour it is stuck on the boot loop. Device SM-G925F, original firmware replaced by this rom,and DotOS replaced by that rom,

LineageOS 19 wouldn't boot.

I also tried other rom's -CRdroid : Nope, stuck on boot - DotOS booted, no mobile data)...

Any advices deeply appreciated.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
Try reflashing the TWRP from the official TWRP website. Also, Wipe all the data including the Internal Storage. Let me know if the problem still occurs.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] gorkemoji:
Hello!

You said you will support Sprint models (P models) too, is it really happening??

Cause Sprints models have Qualcomm Modem and different model of LCDs. No one of devs succeeded to get RIL work on ROMs.

Expect one developer, riversky on GitHub.

So, please let me know if you built a release for G925P, thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] esginmurat:
Thank you @fakemanoan . Thank you for your efforts on this 7 year old phone. But unfortunately the bugs in previous lineageos versions for s6 still persist I guess. Like Camera, phone calls echo, VoLTE, Fingerprint. This is very sad. I guess the problem is related to enesuzun2002 base from which all roms originate.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] esginmurat:
Also off topic. No version of Lineageos officially supports our s6 phone. Why? It supports a lot of phone models, only ours has been waiting for years. There is even an s5, there is a s7, but does anyone know why the s6 is bypassed? What's wrong with this phone that lineageos didn't give official support? Or is it an underused phone? Thank you from now.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Metözz:
Samsung Galaxy s6 edge plus vs zenlte vs G928F Publish please
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] fakemanoan:
we will see

What specifically is wrong with the camera? The torch-flash delay?

Echoing in phone calls is an issue in all Samsung devices running lineage. Not much to be done other than tweaking gain values as far as I am aware of.

VoLTE will most likely never work on lineage OS. Samsung has their own proprietary implemenation, that no one on any samsung device has ported afaik.

Fingerprint is an issue with LineageOS 19. Working on a fix. Weird that it's broken though
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Fytdyh:
Lineage supports said devices if there are still developers whom spend time for free mantaining those devices. Do you want to invest your time for free to mantain Lineage on this device ?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
What's wrong with the camera? I don't have any problems with the camera personally

Phone Echo Issues are common for Samsung devices running AOSP based ROM's. I have a S7 edge as well as a S9 and they both have the echo issues when I install AOSP based ROM's like Evolution or Pixel Experience.

VoLTE is something that has haunted Samsung Devices for years. You need to understand that Samsung device's running AOSP ROM's can't support VoLTE, no matter which Samsung device it is. From the early beginning, No-one has been able to port the Samsung RIL as it's a closed source. There have been attempts in the past to reverse engineer the RIL but none of them have been successful. You can go onto any XDA forum of an AOSP based ROM for a Samsung and they all will have the same VoLTE issue. If Samsung could just hand over the RIL sources themselves... Then maybe we could enable VoLTE.

Fingerprint is just a small bug... I'm currently working on a fix as well. I hope that i will be able to get it working soon :D
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
It's their choice if they want to develop ROM's for that device. In addition to that, Many of the developer's that develop official ROM's get funded by the community. S6 doesn't really have such an alive community at the moment, unfortunately.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
Well that's maybe true but we do have some hundred users still and it will get even better , we must give this time to grow and not rush it , water it by donating to FameManOwn , and everything's gonna be alright .

Happy weekend all .
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
for now G920F and G925F bro
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
Honestly guys , fingerprint is the last thing to worry about , this is Android 12 it would never come , I,m already happy that touch wifi sound phone works ,,the rest will come later :) if not proprietary from Samsung , cause then we can just forget about that.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
Hi bro , I like to remind you that LineageOS did had Zeroltexx and Zerofltexx in the list around 14.1 then it just vanished,
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
There's a reason why the Galaxy S9 has more Official ROM's than that of the S10. Even tho S10 is a much powerful and newer device. The official EvolutionX is making official ROM's only for the S9. You can take even a S20 as an example. Older devices can only have Official ROM's being developed for them as long as it's community is ready to pay the developers.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Concept48:
I fully agree with you , and we should stimulate that , and show users on that fact , maybe it's good to create a fund for certain devices and then developers can chose what device they wanna work on and what the start up cost are,.. $300 is resonable to get started , what you think? 300 : 100 = 3 Euro Per person...less then a Cola in the Bar.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ArmashOnXDA:
Not sure.... I personally don't really know about money and everything. I also can't donate anything evo tho I really want to as I'm a kid and my parents won't really allow me to spend money on what they think is some "useless" stuff.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] esginmurat:
thanks for reply. I know the case. But there is s5 and s7. How are they? :)
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Fytdyh:
Users are paying for custom roms development. Easy as that. And there are a lot of users paying for it. The S6 is the black sheep here. S5 and S7 had microsd slot, so that alone made those smartphones more popular.
