ROMs for the S6/S6 Edge - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can we use them in unison, or will there be 2 separate forums, one for S6 and another for the S6 Edge? I'm betting more people get the regular S6, but the S6 Edge looks wayyyy to sexy for me to pass up so I think I will be getting that. I'm worried though that there will be little community support for it... but if we could use regular S6 ROMs then it's not a factor at all, buut if we CAN'T use regular S6 ROMs, then it's kind of a big deal lol.

There is already a separate S6 and S6 Edge forum. You are in the regular S6 forum now.

OP wants to know if there will be unified development for them (Flashing S6 roms on S6 Edge or vice versa).

Yes, there are two sections, this is for regular s6, but there's people who takes about s6 Edge, I don't know why.

If samsung were to do themselves a favor, they would use the same rom for both the S6, and the S6 edge. I think there are only a couple of additional features the edge will have that the S6 won't. I hope sammy does a
If samsung edge then
samsung edge feature
end if
(I'm a VB guy, not a Java or C guy)
It would mean updates could roll out to both devices in tandem, and S6 roms would work on the edge, and vice versa. But I'm sure that won't happen. I'd like to be wrong, though.

Roms will be easy to port between the two, but it's unlikely you'll be able to directly flash a regular rom to an edge.

No, you're wrong, I clearly stated in the OP if ROMs are interchangeable between the 2 phones @akitten007 was correct.
I just wanted to know if S6 ROMs could be used with the S6 Edge.

[Q] No Love

I have the Note Edge through Verizon, and I have seen numerous ads for the S6 and S6 Edge coming out. Just wondering why the Note Edge seems to be non existent. There seems to be no love for this amazing device that started it all.
Because people are stupid, preferring a shiny, blingy, phone without expandable storage or a removable battery to the more functional Note Edge.

Because Samsung never advertised the Note Edge. They stuck all their eggs in one basic with the Note 4.
That's too bad. Hopefully when people get their hands on the S6 edge, they'll realize that there's also a note edge out there.

not pleased Sammy
To be honest, I am disturbed and disappointed by Samsung's disowning of the edge. No advertising, limited good accessories, lack of developer support - from third party players AND samsung. I have never bought a premium phone that was supported as little as this. I have honestly stopped coming to this forum because there has been nothing of significance happening. No ROMS, no panels, no accessories. Ok, its not NOTHING but it is beyond scarce. I think the edge is one of the most innovative and best phones I ever owned. I get it, we were test dummies for the s6 edge. If there is no removable battery and sd card in the edge 2 I will switch to another phone maker come the fall.

The biggest problem is not marketing, it's simply because we don't have root. We could do amazing things if we had for root

You are so right. I also believe that they dropped the ball on marketing. I feel like we edge owners were the guinea pigs

Some carriers have root. Lack of marketing is the main cause this phone never took off like it should have.

so is T-Mobile which is the variant i own. there is basically 2 roms, and one of them has been abandoned since mid December. If you are looking for development this is not the device to get, i think because it was released after the Note 4, without a concrete release date, and the talk of limited availability that a lot of buyers/developers went with the Note 4 instead. i am personally going to switch to the Note 4 soon, and wait and see what the Note edge 2 and Note 5 develops into.
would be nice with with a note 4 rom, nobody porting those here?
i am wondering if i should take edge or note 4... little scary with lack of support tho... dont have time to play so much with the roms lately...

Edge plus compatible?

Perhaps this is a REALLY stupid question, but are S6 edge roms compatible with the S6 Edge plus? I just got the edge plus and was bummed to see no development really for it. I'm thinking about taking it back now.
Thanks
It isn't compatible.S6E+ have different hardware(display,something more maybe) and S6E roms exclude drivers for it.
Well it's really too soon for developement, the phone is very new. Give it some time

S7 Or S7 Edge?

So I Heard The S7 Edge Battery Is Better then the s7? Witch yall think is better. Not counting the bigger screen of the 7Edge and battery. .

XDA already has a forum set up for discussions around the S7. Search and you will find it.

But this is, if I'm not mistaken, discussion on whether or not to upgrade from the s5 to the s7, which I think is a good thread to have.
My opinion on the matter, I'm going to the s6 for financial reasons. I mainly want carrier aggregation. Plus the s6 is good enough. Especially since I buy through third party sellers.

If you're comfortable with the width of the Galaxy S5, the Galaxy S7 Edge is the same width.
I'm getting the Galaxy S7 Edge because of that. I get more screen for the size of device I am comfortable with.
I did try it out at Best Buy. I don't notice distortion when watching videos in widescreen mode, and the glare is a lot less than the S6. They let the screen go more to the edge of the device before starting the curve, so there's a much sharper transition than the S6. This means less glare, and less interference with clicking things.
i just preorder the s7 edge. be here friday.

Rom that actually turns a Note 5 into a fully-functional S7 Edge!

Check out this craziness!

I guess mazook98 is thinking we might want to ditch our S7 for a note 5 so that we could have a rooted phone that feels like an S7 Edge. At least software wise.

No, I posted it for people who haven't pulled the trigger on buying the S7 because of the bootloader thing, but own a Note 5 right now. Or people who kept their old ones.
People DO check out forums of devices they haven't bought yet: at least, I know I do.

Whats so diffrent with the sprint varient

I see all these roms that support just about every model but nothin on the sprint 920p.
I know a lot of the lg g2 and g3 multi roms also include the sprint varients. What so diffrent about the samsungs not bein able to port them.
I also want to know this, i've been looking for an answer for months...

Its not just 920p its 920 chn duos too. I think its a slight hardware difference so it would need special development for just that one model and nobody wants to put in that much time.

I figured I'd answer anyway. I've used XDA to revive old devices in my desk drawer just to see if it could Be done. I'm on an s6 e+ that thinks its an s6 and I've got s7 edge
