Cm for the s7? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I saw a thread in the LG G5 forum from a Dev and a couple others saying they planned on bringing CM to that device. developing CM for that device.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3305150
So, does anyone have plans to bring CM to the GS7 when it's released?
This may play a major part in my and probably other decision on whether or not to get the GS7 or the G5
No rude comments please and thank you![emoji106] [emoji106]

First issue on the agenda, is "do we get root to S7"?
And to what models?

there'll be no problem for the snapdragon variant
best hardware from samsung and best software from CM/AOSP
can't wait :good:

International variants have a unlocked bootloader as well as T mobile here in the US. (Unless they lock it for some reason.)
I have a note 5. No CM due to the exynoss processor.
I love Sammy phones and the new TouchWiz UI. But having CM as a choice of rom to use will most likely make or break my decision to upgrade to the s7.
So far the G5 is looking the best for me. Half of the reason is confirmation of CM for the device.

lol wut?
No dev can commit to bring CM to either the S7 or G5 until they have a chance to get their hands on it to see how locked down it is, and what sort of exploits they can utilize for root and unlocked bootloader.

Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE Plus comes with with Android Oprating System Quad core cortex A57 & Quad core cortex A57 Processor, 64GB internal storage, 4GB RAM, No SD Card Slot, Super Amoled LCD capacitive 2560 x 1440 pixels, 5.7 inches touchscreen, 16M colors, 20.7MP pixels, autofocus, back Camera, GPS, Wi Fi, 3G and 4G Suported Smartphone by Samsung.

Read the op. A couple of developers that confirmed they are going to develop cm for the LG G 5 there's even a link in the op. Just wondering if anybody had the same plans for this device

I'm digging it too. I agree with you on the g3 coming from the g2 myself. I do miss the tiny bezels. Gotta feeling g3 will be locked up tight like the gs5. G2 used Loki like the gs4 which I believe isn't being worked on anymore to bypass bootloader protection. So If it's locked up tight I'm not going anywhere

When I was looking for my next phone, i was between (obviously) GS5 and M8.... the rootability/custom romming was a HUGE reason why I chose the M8, and i'm so happy I did. My sister just got the GS5 (on TMo) and she's loving it, but of course she won't want/need to root it. I know I made the right choice
Yep I think tmobile version gs5 is rocking root and recovery already. It would be nice if I could get decent service in my area with someone other than vzw but I'm pretty much stuck if I want to be able to make phone calls lol. That would open up more phone choices. I'm in the same boat as you and have to go with whatever can be rooted and rom'd on vzw which is becoming very slim with them

loving my m8, I'm borderline def so front facing speakers is a plus. I'm coming from galaxy s3 and not a big fan of an actual button but it would be nice to see all apps use all of m8's screen real state.

Oh, interesting. I thought after the GS4 issues of full and total lockdown of bootloader that the GS5 was also locked. But maybe it's only VZW that has this problem ... Oh verizon ....
But luckily we have some extremely talented devleopers (Shoutout to @jcase @beaups @Fuses et al) working their little tushes off to keep us open and unlocked and in full control of the devices which we have purchased!
They don't mention a 32 gb internal storage m8.I was given two of those from the b1g1

I sell my nexus 5 need larger screen tell me your opinions

Which Phone prefer me Note 3 Or G3?
And why ?
My Nexus 5 is being sold.
I replaced it with 5.2" 1440p Moto Maxx (XT1225), with Snapdragon 805, 3GB RAM, 64GB internal storage, Qi wireless charging. "International" version of the Droid Turbo. Unlockable boot loader, root, TWRP recovery.
Such an awesome phone, the Moto Maxx/ Turbo
Unfortunately it is not available in Europe...

Yup
1+1
You want a bigger screen?! The Nexus 5 is like the biggest I could ever imagine have. Anyways I'd recommend the Nexus 6, it would give you all the stuff that was on the Nexus 5 and more. I would recommend to install the no-enforce encrypt kernel for it. It would speed up the phone as well.

Will the flex 2 get android M and is there a way to get lgg4 camera on the flex 2 i hate not having more options on this phone also my lg optimus g which was all glass way before the s6 is in my opinion one of the greatest phones of all time thanks
Sent from my LGLS996 using XDA Free mobile app
The original Flex still doesn't have LP officially, so there's a chance the trend will stick for the Flex 2. I can say that the G4 & maybe G3 will receive 6.0 next year. The G2 was leaked with 5.1.1, which will likely be the final update.
So u think this phone with the newest snapdragon and i know they say it ober heats and also im mad i dont have 3 gigs like advertised of ram but i hope we get an update because this phone was launched on lolipop

It's not clear what LG will do. The Flex was also a fast phone with the SD800, and that didn't encourage them to update it either...I think we should stay positive and see what LG does by 2016.

Im really disappointed with the lack of development on this phone. its got beter specs than most phones out there and Im sure it would be a killer with an aosp rom...probably gonna trade it for the nexus 6

Locked boot loader is interfering with development, but I don't recall LG ever releasing kernel sources for this model either.

I ordered a Nexus 6P. I heard/read that the 810 overheating problem is not an issue with v2.1 of the 810 chip, which is used in the 6P.

Here's a good link.
www [.] anandtech [.] com/ show/9388/comparing-snapdragon-810-v2-and-v21
Seems to indicate better performance and better thermal management.
Had to butcher the link so I could post it.
I will definitely not leave, but that 1.55 um 12.3 MP Sony sensor can be good - I really want to test it myself.

Interesting.... I realize those high-res screens must require a lot of GPU... but I'm going to give the engineers who developed the 6P the benefit of the doubt.... hopefully the reviews will be good. Most everything I've seen so far has been positive... except for perhaps the lack of wireless charging and OIS.... but OIS may not be that big of a deal given how good the camera seems to be (so far), and personally I don't think the lack of wireless charging is a big deal either.
Really looking forward to those in-depth 6P reviews.....

Dude, S6 has fastest CPU, true, but touchwiz ruins it
why would you? first of all the S6 is just half a year old, so i don't think anyone would sell it for something else, second, the s6 has a better camera, style, screen?, cpu...why would you downgrade? just for stock android? and i am talking about the 6p, the 5x is not in the same league....even if i had the money i won't replace my S6 with a 6p, don't get me wrong it's a great device, but this year, unlike every other year before it is a bit different, the devices that came out at the beginning of the year are as good as the ones came end of the year, no upgrades at all....so i would say the ones that came late won't sell much....still this is a nexus device, and there is a lot of audience for it....so it will sell a lot...

I would definitely sell for the 6p. This phone has been a nightmare for me. There was a lot of hype for the s6 and while a lot of the features are great on paper, I find my HTC One m8 was a much better experience. I'm very excited to sell this thing and get something else. While it may downgrade some features, I'm sure the build quality and speedy updates will be worth it.

it's up to you off course, if speedy updates is more important then yes......the build quality of the S6 is on par with the 6P...

I'm not sure how you could compare the build quality like that without it having been released yet :/ and samsung has near the worst build quality I have ever seen while huawei is pretty well known for their build quality.

About a year or so late on that piece of advice!
yes the development is like zero but i get used to it i'm happy with my device i'm rooted with xposed that's what i need for now maybe later i will change my device when there is ni official support for android updates
calm down people!! This device will get the treatment they deserve soon...i belive LG will make all variants bootloader unlockable and then (becausa V20 will be a big big fail) people will buy more V10 and then do things for this amazing device!
we need to wait...i know this device have almost 1 year but good things come late and soon we will get Android N too.

trust me, when V10 receive the Android 7.0 LG will understand that V20 is a new disaster and do something for V10 like they did with G4.
G4 have no hope when launched, but then LG decide to unlock bootloader (idk if they are for all variants of only Europe) but at least i see a lot of development for G4 - and dont forget, if you have bootloader unlocked on your V10, you can try mods from G4 forum because have the same SoC and almost same specs (screen resolution and so on).
I already install a bunch of things from G4 forum in my V10 and at the moment all fine.

Curious what G4 "mods" you're using on the V10, as well. Besides G4 Tweaksbox.... already using it.

I'd be happy with just stock quick toggles.
I'm actually kind of happy there is not a lot of deving for this device. When I had my M8 I was constantly flashing roms because there was so much support for it. Problem was that it turned into wasted hours and no productivity.
I'm happy with just root and xposed on stock for the V10.

For my part V4A would be the most important thing to have. Then, I finally can increase the sound quality of Bluetooth sound. Otherwise the V10 us top.
