Hello i have a Galaxy S6 and i want to know why all the people are talking about no support in CM12 for an Exynos device,
i had a Galaxy S3 and is Exynos too, it has fully functional support for CM12.
The S6 is still a new device, and devs need their time to develop ROMs based on a new SoC.
Just give it time. There will be a stable CM12 ROM for the S6 soon.
As for the exynos specific part. Devs have to reverse engineer it to see how it works since Samsung is pretty against supporting modding. They what phone devs are as Nintendo is to other console creators.

I am using a Samsung galaxy s duos that has ics out of the box. I am waiting for it to get updated to jb. even Samsung galaxy chat has been updated to jellybean which is having comparitively lower specs.Sony also updated its single core phone xperia j to jb?
so why there is no jellybean update in galaxy s duos?
will it ever updated to jb?
Here is the official JB update list of Samsung (which is subject to sudden change, but it's quite unlikely they will add any more devices - they usually remove devices that have not already got an update): samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00050212&fm_seq=55187.
It's not only a question of device specs or performance; it's also a question of marketing relevance and development effort. The device manufacturers have to adapt the original os from google to their devices; and on top of that, they put their own software like Touchwiz, which has to be adapted to new Android versions, too. Then everything has to be adapted and thoroughly tested with the telcos. The whole process does not make sense from a economic point of view as soon as the sales of the device drop below a certain margin. Non-widespread devices will not get updates at all.
Hey guys
in the past i had a galaxy s6 but i sold it and now i have an iphone 6, ive seen that CM13 is available in Galaxy S6, but i sold my s6 cuz i had the nxt issues:

I was wondering about z5....but so many people are compaling about that device. And I have had a z5 in my hand, and it took awfull photos (low light). I was breaking my s6's back panel, BUT I re purchased the s6 yesterday again. I have tried the 6.0 with it, and looks promising ( I love the manual camera shutter sped control).
come back. this is a cheap device already, ($300-350), and there is non better on the market what have this huge amount of features like s6 (with 6.0 )
Why would you go back to a device where your main issue is the OS? That's just wierd.
Get a Nexus if you want AOSP.
The CM13 you are referring to in your OP is a TEST build and should NOT be used as a daily driver. Bugs, things are broken / not working.
Sounds like you might wanna research some other phones / brands before jumping back to a device your not comfortable with IMO.

im asking what about new firmwares, have them fix major galaxy s6 issues like ram management?
Samsung will release the gs6' sourcecode after the marshmallow release. This will make the custom rom community much more effective. Looking forward
Edit @renolzSry: I meant kernel sourcecode

Link to this statement please? I only heard they will be releasing the kernel source code like they allways do.

Hello,
I have been a nexus device user, but since google only produces pixel devices I am thinking about other smartphones.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 seems pretty nice, but I would like to get the new android version pretty fast .
Android is open source, so how difficult is it to make out of the stock android source code a rom for the S7.
I don't need all the Cyanogenmod Features.
To myself: I think I am quite good in java, but I am not a professional. It is just a hobby
How difficult and how much time would I need to make such a rom.
Supporting device specific features like the curved screen from the S7 Egde or a pen from a samsung galaxy note would be much more difficult or can I use source code from Samsung/XDA-Developers.
When I would use the Stock Android, how difficult would it be to install the monthly security updates?
Thanks a lot

Hi all,
I have got a few questions for a GALAXY S7 owners
I havent got time for customizing again everything from my LG G2 ROM, and I guess original ROM from S7 will be slower and slower with time, even on such a new phone like S7. So it would be great to have same ROM, I mean CM13.
1. Which ROM is the best for S7? Have we got stable CyanogenMod ? with working original camera and dual pixel feature ?
1.1 Is there any poll on the forum/ internet with votes which ROM is the best? That would be very good illustration what is the best choice.
2. exynos and snapdragon - which version should I buy here in UK?
3. Is ROOT a problem for a galaxy s7? I will need to root my phone definitely.
4. What should I consider when buying, the new one and used one ?
My LG G2 is really super fast with CM13 ROM + xposed and tweaks, but I am running out with space and there is no microsd slot + phone is plastic, galaxy has got dual pixel and f 1.7 lens which is much better.
I am still not sure if shold I update just because of this 3 points (space, plastic and camera).
Thanks for help:good:
anything ?
1,1.1 Head over to the development forum for roms. Usually the threads with most replies and views are an indication of which roms are most popular and that have good dev support. No CyanogenMod for this phone.
2,3. You can only get root with Exynos phones at this stage
Hey all.
I have looked around, and call me clueless, but I still don't understand if there are or what ROMs are floating around for the snapdragon version of the S7. Does anyone know if there are any? And if so, is there a single, more popular one that is more likely to work well?
And if someone wanted to start development for building a Nougat build, where would one start?
Thanks for any help!

I wonder why Snapdragon variants have no AOSP ROMs. Before S7 Exynos based devices have no community support.
