Is it possible to get KitKat on the S6? Is there any way to get kitkat for the S6? Ive seen a few "ports" of roms for different devices and was wondering if there was nything like that for the s6 in regards to previous android OS'.
Could I say.. install s4, s5 roms like the back-to-note port of the Note 3 for the s6?
The first Galaxy S6 is a 64-bit device is closed source, that means that the development is thwarted by Samsung.
With much trouble getting a Rom is based on AOSP and Marshmallow.
And the main thing, this phone has come with lollipop factory, building kitkat be a headache.

That's the way it is. In addition, does not go with the bootloader.

I have a Galaxy S4 Verizon SCH-i545. I am looking for a stock (or as close to stock as I can get) version of Kitkat that's either rooted I can install or one I can root. I am running 4.2.2 rooted. There large quantity of roms floating around I am new to all the android acronyms.
I found this one, but I cant figure out if its modded, or Verizon compatible or so on.

most roms will already have root and these are all stock kit kat they only have little things pre installed onto them you can uninstall most of them
I'm looking for a KitKat ROM to downgrade from Lollipop. Preferably, I would like something as close to AOSP/CAF as possible.
Anyone know of anything?
Thanks.

They're all in the dev section. Just look at the remaining KitKat ROMs and see which are still being updated.
Hi, bought a used Oneplus One today with CM12.1 nighty today. Changed the governor to conservative and have to say: This is the smoothest Android experience I've ever had (much better than a S6). 60fps almost everywhere.
Couldn't complain
About caf: Isn't this the special cm kernel tree which is somewhat incompatible to aosp?

Not likely that this will ever happen.
Hello everyone !
As everyone knows that we have android 6.0.1 and 7.0.x available for Jflte devices i was wondering if maybe a jflte developer could build a rom that is TouchWiz
based on CM/LOS and have android 6.0.1/7.1.x like the rom we got earlier [MIUI 8 based on CM with android 6.0.1] by @mikussj3 .....
i don't know if it's possible to build it or port it that's why i started this thread
I hope i'm in the right section of the forum..
Thanks in advance
TouchWiz can't be based on Lineage.
And porting the TouchWiz stuff to Lineage requires a lot of work. Something that developers don't really want to do or don't have time to do it.
I may be wrong, but I haven't seen a single Lineage/CM ROM that has the TouchWiz framework.
And android 6, 7 TouchWiz ROMs can't be ported to jflte devices because ROM ports I believe have to come from a phone with similar processor type and architecture.
The only S4 that runs Android 6 TouchWiz ROMs is the klte (GT-I9506), which has a Snapdragon 800 processor. So it's similar to the S5, and that made ports possible or easier.

Tthe HTC one m7 google play edition (2013)has 5.1 right it has almost the same specs as the s4 i9505 maybe we could use that as a base for TW roms and port mm apps easily and maybe nougat

Guys it's not impossible to port android 6.0.1 TouchWiz to GS4 i9505 its just hard to do so. There will be a lot of code changes and stuff like that.

And even then, if some developer ports MM TW, it will be very buggy, and by the time the bugs got fixed, everybody will move on to newer devices.
Think about this way: if that would be possible, a port would already be done.

And that's the problem right there the s4 is dying with everyday passes.
I would like to port TAB S2 Nougat Rom for my Note 4 N910K Exynos 5433 phone. I always flashed custom roms but all of them have too many features and I all want is stock Nougat for Note 4. I don't need the S-pen functionality just Nougat and network to work nicely.
I never did any rom development or any compiling but I'm willing to learn.
It would be really appreciated if someone could list all the software and steps for porting.
As I said I have no idea how its done but I know that I need stock base firmware and kernel so it actually boots up.
The Samsung tab s6 lite is an older model with lineage and other roms available, will the S7 FE get any open source ROMs in future?

Probably not until there is a stable recovery...
And I noticed ads about Tab S8 so yeah I'm very doubtful as developers like to get on newer devices.
However I still hope one day we will see recovery and roms

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see where the state of 3rd party development goes with samsung's latest devices in the coming years

Interested to buy this tablet too since S8 series just released and so the prices decreased for 7 series but i'm on hold because there are no custom roms available atm.
Do not want use the stock samsung rom, want a vanilla aosp rom and install packages i like to make it as light and fast and possible.
Hope lineageOS devs will consider to port LOS on this device too like they did with S6 series.
