Since i have upgraded from 5.0.2 i am no longer a user of s6. Coz it feels like running marshmallow on s2. It is lagging alot with maximum battery consumption and alot more. If you haven't upgraded to 5.1.1 please donot do so. Or you have to buy s7 for better perfomance.
The s6 is more then capable of running marshmallow let alone any rom. Why don't you install cm13 marshmallow rom it's very light on the phone. Super fast, debloated and gives you tons of options and tweaks..

My phone is approaching it's 1 year warranty period, and I'm ready to root the device, trip my Knox, and unleash the beast.
I'm looking for a lightweight ROM alternative for the stock rom. I love the ROM, but I can also live without the extra features as I used to own a Nexus device. Either the lightest Google ROM or lightest TouchWiz made for the S7.
The main reason for this is that I used to own a Nexus which was capable of running 1GB RAM idle with the app's that I use. However, on the S7, I found that my phone is using double the resources. I want there to be a lot of power reserve just in case I run power intensive apps and save battery. I also want the ROM as compatible to the S7 (S7 ROM modified, not a Pixel ROM altered to work for an S7) as I don't want to run into compatibility issues in the longer run (just bring paranoid). What's a recommended ROM?
Hydra ROM is one of my faviroute tw roms, it gives you the edge screen functionality and has some small customisations in the rom control, it has great ram management, performance and battery life. You could check out shark jungle's review on it on yt I found that helpful

Hello people...
can somebody who used Z5 since 5.1.1 tell me which version has the best battery life ??? actually i bought Z5 last week only nd i got nougat preinstalled so i have no idea which version had best battery life...
If you uninstall all unwanted stock apps, 6.0.1 is the best for battery life.
Stock one use much more battery. 7 is not good at all for me. 5 not tried.

I have slimx rom currently and i can easy get 6+ SOT, and with moderate usage it can last over 24 hours.
I started on lollipop with my Z5 but honestly I dont really remember how battery life was because I think back then I didn't really care much about it.
On MM I had amazing battery life (talking about standard 6-8hrs SOT) on SlimX same as previous poster
And indeed Nougat is very disappointing so far. 5hrs SOT on a good day.
Gets me through the day, but it was supposed to be better than Nougat, but so far not really...
sony build (android 6) came Dec2016 had the best battery life! with ram management!
sony build (android 5.1) back from sep2015 was one of the amazing roms. all the best features from its ancestor mobiles landing in that rom.
you can downgrade to android 6 if you want.
android 7 latest build has good battery but i am sad about the ram management. with all apps installed i get 30% free
where same apps and usage back in anrdoid6 days i used to get 49% free.
however i never tested march2017 apps version on dec2016 rom. perhaps both have fair share of ram usage.
in order to address this usse! sony's upcoming flagship Xperia XZs and XZ Premium has 4gb ram
Recently got the Exynos Galaxy S7.
As a stock android user, I found touchwiz a bit over kill for me, and I can't even imagine myself using the heavily customized rom.
I was wondering if there is a frequently updated light mod TW rom that I can use on daily basis?
I currently have an S7 flat with the stock samsung oreo rom, no root or other customizations. Upon its launch, it was on par if not faster than my iphone 6s. Now, the S7 is quit abit slower in gaming and overall performance vs the 6s.
I wonder if thats due to outdated software/OS, as i understand the S7 is by default running TouchWizz? The playstore says Samsung oneUI though.
Anyway, to the question, will installing a custom rom like Lineageos or any other rom improve general gaming and app performance, or will it not make a huge difference?
I have already done a factory reset, disable apps (bloat) etc.

There might be custom roms with better performance for some usage.
But you may have to check/test several roms to find the one that matches your needs best.
Here you can find some custom roms for your device:
Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri
Galaxy S7 ROMs, how to root, kernels, apps, downloads, and mods. (Exynos)

The launcher Samsung changed the name to One UI but you're still running Samsung Experience not Touchwhiz.
I have a plain Galaxy S6 (not edge) with the basic Samsung ROM on android 7.0 and I am looking for the lightest ROM out there that maximizes the battery.
I want to be using the phone as a 4G wifi hotspot and nothing else so the ROM should be completely free of bloatware or any apps other than what it is needed to the run the hotspot service.
Doesn't really matter what android version it is.
What do you guys suggest?
