Will the Samsung Galaxy S6 be able to run Nougat? - General Questions and Answers

I just received a S6 from my office and was hoping that a few months down the line a Nougat ROM would be available for my phone? SM-G920F?
That dual-app screen functionality sounds fantastic.

if cyanogenmod is able to release cm14 or whatever then you should have one for your s6

I had CM on my current S4 for 18 months, was real smooth, then last year I tried erasing and updating to the newest CM, and I got bug after bug and spontaneous reboots, just webt haywire. Returned to the latest Stock ROM, which was much better than the stock ROM that came with the phone.
Do you also think Nougat may become available to the S6 as a stock ROM here on XDA?

Note 8010 4.4 Touchwiz

Hello,
long time no see. I bought the note 10.1 a year ago and still waiting for an update. Is there a 4.4 Touchwiz port for the 8010. I am about to install a custom rom. Any recommendations which TOUCHWIZ based custom rom is good. because i am a heavy S-Note user. Or is there a S-Note(2014 verison) port for the 8010.

Nope. None as of yet but we have kitkat omnirom that works very well. No s-note tho.
Next time use the Q&A forum.?
Ask in Q&A forum, this is Dev forum.
BTW, ARHD is a great TouchWiz ROM
It's true that there is not an official kitkat rom or any sort of port of a touchwiz ROM, but we do have official confirmation that the original Note 10.1 will be getting the kitkat update. There has been a partially functional leak already. We can probably expect an official update (and custom roms based on it) in the next month or two.
So while installing a custom ROM might be a great idea, if you like touchwiz you ought to hold out for a bit longer.
i guarantee we all will receive the update at the end of 2015

But we already have 4.4.2 tho it's a test build it is functioning very well and it's very smooth
So as you say in the end of 2015 we might get android 5.0 hahahaha

What's The Latest KitKat (4.4) ROM Available?

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.

Any updates on cm14 ROM for SM-920X variants?

Hello there,
I have a SM-920i and I was wondering if there are any updates about cyanogenmod 14 for this variant of Galaxy S6, made in Brazil.
I look at the cm14 device list everyday, however, I know the Galaxy S6 has never been part of the official list. So if there is a ROM, it should appear here since cyanogen forum for this device is empty.
There are some articles claiming that Samsung is already testing a beta version of the Nougat operating system, and a release is expected by the end of the year. There is a Nougat update to 7.1 estimated to be released for that time as well. This means that the official version of Android Nougat for all the variants of the Galaxy S7 and S6 is coming soon. Some say February 2017.
Thanks.
you can work on this if u cant wait

If you know anybody who is working on it, I'd be happy to beta test it.

After almost 3 years, is worth to root the S7 Edge?

Let me rephrase better, is worth to move from the stock samsung Oreo Rom, to a custom Rom like "Havoc" "resurrection Remix" "LineageOS" (the stable version of these)? It's been a long time since I flashed a custom Rom. On my old OnePlus One the roms were faster and better. I find the stock s7 edge rom really good, but at the same time i'm sick of the samsung experience, I want some Stock Android on my phone without losing any performance of course. So, these Roms are actually good? Stable and fast as the stock one?

Question Will the Samsung Tab S7 FE ever receive any custom ROMs?

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

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.
