MiUi Note Edge with TouchWiz features and Edge Panel Rom, maybe a 805 unified rom for mostly full compatibility.
We already know our lil devices stands out from the rest even it's younger sibling the S6 Edge, let's make it stand out even more? LoL
If it applies to the Sprint Note Edge (N915P), I'd throw a fair chunk of money in the pot. Really, I'd throw a fair chunk of money in the pot for any ROM on this awesome device - since Samsung has decided it wants to be Apple, I'm going to be hanging onto this beast until another manufacturer comes out with a better device.
I believe it uses a 805 too right, only version I excluded was the international version, but who knows anything is possible someone could port it over for that version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/miui-7-samsung-note4almost-snapdragon-t3221861 Now if there's any Edge developers who would be down to add Edge panels to the rom. it's possible to flash to the Note Edge, I gathered this much from a T-Mo Edge user flashing a TekHD TEKXodus T-Mo Note 4 from onto their Edge, so it can be done and as MiUi can use TouchWiz stuff cause they use the same framework or parts of it, so this wouldn't be a impossible task and would be rather News worthy too.
So I've been thinking of swapping out my Galaxy S6 for either a Oneplus two or Nexus 6P
It's not that I hate the galaxy S6 as it is, but the damn touchwiz sometimes ruins the experience. Considering the closed source nature of the Exynos, is there even a possibility in the near future for the S6 to have near stock android roms like Cyanogenmod? I do want to stay with the S6 because of the beastly exynos chip and the great camera, and also android marshmallow is coming near for the galaxy devices, it's just that the software is kinda laggy.
can you give me some of your thoughts?
There is an active github for development of a CM ROM. That said, I'm not dev savvy enough to know where it stands and don' want to bother the Dev as that is pretty close to an ETA question. But it is in the works. Not too thrilled with the new Nexus devices personally. too large in form factor or underwhelming in specs.

Same. I'd really love to have an AOSP rom for the Galaxy S6. Only reason I'm looking forward for the nexus or onplus devices is because of the stock android experience. Tbh, Touchwiz can be kinda boring, and lagging sometimes. Not to mention the horrible RAM management. If it weren't for the Exynos chip, I would have gotten the Oneplus or Nexus devices lol
As of late, I've seen the thread where a certain dev was working on CM, but I think on the last post on that thread, i believe he closed it due to lack of people working on it. I dunno
Hopefully someone can clarify if there really is a dev working on an AOSP, I really want to stay with the S6.

With the proper kernel settings and ROM, this phone is as smooth as nexus device with much faster loading times for apps. Not to mention great multitasking (literally had 15 apps open at once and none of them reloaded) and amazing battery life ~6hr SOT. I can say that Vindicator kernel with xtrestolie is one of the best
There are some opengl problems with 5.1.1 tw roms. So the performance is not good as 5.0.1. I am also considering to change my phone to nexus 6P.

I've recently installed xtroleti with Unikernel on it, set on Medium profile. Do you think the vindicator kernel is better? If so, on what terms?
damnn, still waiting if we'll ever have AOSP roms
I'm waiting for AOSP roms too. Thinking about selling my S6 to get a nexus 6p.

to be honest, with the available custom roms and kernels right now for galaxy s6, the s6 runs almost 99 % smooth, no stuttering whatsoever. I'm using Xtrolite with unikernel set on medium profile, the device is flawless in terms of software (excluding the ram management of course).
but yeah, I'm really hoping for AOSP roms, particularly Cyanogenmod. Can someone confirm if certain devs are working on it? I'm willing to donate
Im pretty sure we will see cyanogenmod 13 aprox a month after the first marshmallow release of samsung for any exynos 7420 device.
reasons?
1. Big demand since there are 4 exynos 7420 devices (s6, s6 edge+, s6 edge plus and note 5)
2. This also means there is a bigger dev base compared to older exynos devices from samsung.
And srsly guys do you think the phone of the year wont get aosp? We just need a bit more patience.
1% near impossible, well at least a stable rom.

Theres no exynos sources so it could take months to even get the screen to work.

Yes, however, many developers don't even think of the S6 because of the S2 (CM built but LAGGY).
I doubt Arter would try to develop CM for the S6, he develops the Note 5 ROM which I use

Vindicator i personally think blows every kernel out of the water. Best battery life by far but performance does take a hit unless you get kernel aduitor and set enforcing mode to 1 in interactive governor settings for both cores. That will make your phone smoother than any other kernel by far. Battery life is still much better than any other kernel. GPU overclocking is also included which i like lol. The only problem is the very rare crash to lockscreen that sometimes happens on the test builds (which are the best ones).
Does such a thing exist? All I want is essentially the S7 Touchwiz on my S6 but I can't seem to find any rom that offers just that. Don't need any fancy crap, just essentially a stock S7 rom on the S6.
If it's not possible then fair enough please let me know as there is so much to wade through on here I may have missed it!
Official Android 6.0.1 has already S7's Touchwiz?
Maybe noble nature
Lol just flash nobel note 7 port :laugh:
Hi,
I am looking into buying a S6 or S7 for my wife. I know the S7 is the newer version (duh) but future proofing also means having access to newer Android Versions. Afaik nougat is the last android update the S6 will receive while I am guessing that the S7 will also get Android O. That would leave me with installing a custom rom (on the S6) when O comes out. I tried having a look at the forums but I am not sure: Is it correct to say that the S7 is the better phone when it comes to custom roms?
Thanks for the help!
I have an S6 and Exynos = no custom/Aosp roms. I know they are very early stages of Aosp because Exynos will not release the source code. So getting a working version of Android O before it is officially released for S6 is a lot of work to get stable. I cant see that happening.
I have ordered my S7 but dont have any experience at the moment with it. I have seen AOSP on the S7 so that means there is a lot of development going on. Which for me is key when buying a new phone. Exchange, contribute, share and improve info.
So short answer is YES
LineageOS is out for both phones, but i'll bet some stuff still doesn't work. I would opt for the s7 mainly due to the bigger battery.
Hello guys, I just want to share some of the concerns I have regarding Xposed.
Over the years, I have used couple of phones including Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galaxy S6, Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus and now I use Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus.
As soon as I flash Xposed, I experience my phone slowing down considerably. It heats a lot as well telling me there must be something going on under the hood.
Did someone have similar problem?
Thanks!
P. S. I surely do not have over five modules activated at any given time.
