Whats so diffrent with the sprint varient - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I see all these roms that support just about every model but nothin on the sprint 920p.
I know a lot of the lg g2 and g3 multi roms also include the sprint varients. What so diffrent about the samsungs not bein able to port them.

I also want to know this, i've been looking for an answer for months...

Its not just 920p its 920 chn duos too. I think its a slight hardware difference so it would need special development for just that one model and nobody wants to put in that much time.

I figured I'd answer anyway. I've used XDA to revive old devices in my desk drawer just to see if it could Be done. I'm on an s6 e+ that thinks its an s6 and I've got s7 edge

better sell your i9506 and look for alternative

i guess we wont be able to customize our s4 i9506 .nothing is happening in i9506 thread till date.and i dont wnt to get stuck with original firmware forever.so i just sold my i9506 and got new htc one.:highfive:
If you wanted a community of modders
Then buy a phone other people have
If you are in the UK, you should have got the 9505.
You should buy a second hand one

I noticed this when upgrading from sgs3 to sgs4 last month.
I've noticed it as well. I miss the days of the S2 and siyah kernel. KT is the closest kernel were going to get to that kind of features. With the S5 due out soon a lot if devs are going to move on. This will be my last samsung. I'm tired of Sammy's ugly and bloated FWs

I too miss the sgs2 and sgs3 days. This will also be my last galaxy phone... All this knox-bulls* and bloated firmwares. But which manufacturer should I go to? HTC? Where's most developer activity?

Hmm.. the biggest advantage, from my point of view, of nexus devices are, they'll rather have support for upcoming OSs such as Ubuntu, Mozilla etc. because of AOSP(drivers etc.). Samsung/HTC/Sony on the other side have always their customized Android OS, which is also a good thing because they have to be absolutely stable.
My SHV-E330S(same as I9506) has not less mods than my old S2. I would say, it has much more mods than S2.
The only difference - you wait when someone will do this for you, while i do it by myself.
Actually, i don't see what is interesting in using already made custom ROM which has be made in someone's specific taste.
Today, there are much more devices than before. Thus, concentration of developers for particular device is less and less. If you want to get something interesting for particular device, you have to become one of such developers.
Otherwise, just get Nexus - it already has naked Android which most people here is looking for.
The only thing i miss for my I9506 is the kernel developement.But if you think better why would you OC the Krait 400?Isn`t the fastest CPU avalaible on the market?A kernel with udervoltage feature enabled would be perfect.For the rest...if you have root you can make it all by yourself.There are a lot of tutorials on the market explaining how you can port a custom ROM and a lot of mods and themes ar compatible for this phone from I9505 thread and Note 3.For short...i`m very satisfied with my I9506.Way faster and less battery draining than I9505.I have them both!
If no-one is porting a rom from either the Xperia Z1, or from the Note 3 wich at least have the same CPU, i will probably look into how to do this myself.. I bought the i9506 yesterday and thought there would be a custom rom allready, but no.. My old Optimus 4X HD is still in use, cause i really hate the Samsung menu system!

I am from India. My friend is getting me a I9506 from US for 490 dollars. is it a good deal? Will I get OTA updates on it?

Think no.. New samsung devices have a region lock by default..
If its a new device and is unlocked maybe, but u need to activate in your region for first use..
Dont know if device only run in US if ur friend activate the phone there..
If not, you'll need to unlock it and pray..
Other thing will be flash ur own firmwares but this will flag a 1 on knox void warranty efuse and cant receive OTAs..

Yes, I agree on this also.
I had an S3 before and I have to say that Devs were going crazy making new Roms/Tweaks and kernels almost every day!
I thought the GS4 would be even more crazier but turns out that it isn't. Should've got that Nexus 5 :|

ROMs for the S6/S6 Edge

Can we use them in unison, or will there be 2 separate forums, one for S6 and another for the S6 Edge? I'm betting more people get the regular S6, but the S6 Edge looks wayyyy to sexy for me to pass up so I think I will be getting that. I'm worried though that there will be little community support for it... but if we could use regular S6 ROMs then it's not a factor at all, buut if we CAN'T use regular S6 ROMs, then it's kind of a big deal lol.
There is already a separate S6 and S6 Edge forum. You are in the regular S6 forum now.

OP wants to know if there will be unified development for them (Flashing S6 roms on S6 Edge or vice versa).
Yes, there are two sections, this is for regular s6, but there's people who takes about s6 Edge, I don't know why.
If samsung were to do themselves a favor, they would use the same rom for both the S6, and the S6 edge. I think there are only a couple of additional features the edge will have that the S6 won't. I hope sammy does a
If samsung edge then
samsung edge feature
end if
(I'm a VB guy, not a Java or C guy)
It would mean updates could roll out to both devices in tandem, and S6 roms would work on the edge, and vice versa. But I'm sure that won't happen. I'd like to be wrong, though.
Roms will be easy to port between the two, but it's unlikely you'll be able to directly flash a regular rom to an edge.

Note 7 and it's fate

Given the fact that Samsung rolled out all the Snapdragon s7 and s7e with locked bootloaders, I have little to no hope for the note 7. What do you guys think about its chances of coming with an unlocked bootloader?

All the future samsung usa phones which are branded tmobile, at&t, sprint and verizon will have locked bootloaders
If you want a rooted samsung phone in the future you will all need to buy the international models.
Thats why I purchased the S7 EDGE G935F international model a few weeks ago. All the international samsung phones are very easily rooted and none of them have locked bootloaders.
And to top it off all the samsung international phone models come sim unlocked .
Good luck.

Crazy how there is not much talk about the Note 7 with it only about 2 weeks away. I am really mixed about getting it still since I know it is going to be locked. The only thing that is really holding me back at this point is not being able to use Viper. There are a couple of other things that would be nice to still be able to do but those aren't major. Android has come a long way and the need for a custom rom just isn't what it used to be. I really like the Note line and prefer to stay with it so I may just bit the bullet and go without root. Whether I get it at launch will also depend on the special offers they are giving out. I got the Year of Netflix and free VR with the S7 Edge before I returned it so if they have a simular offer, I will probably jump on it.

I was just thinking this same thing...i own my note 5 outright so i may just trade it in if there's a good deal...progress has been made with root on the s7's so I'm hopeful similar leaps are made...nonetheless, i have to say, my girls note 5 is bone stock unrooted and with few exceptions there's little that can't be done...for her nothing, and for me, well, I'm just finally learning to develop on Linux so i definitely want to keep SOME rootable device in my stable as well, but that's might end up meaning a second device (next nexus?) and swapping my sim around smh...it's just that usb3.0, ip68, 256gb storage and 6gb ram PLUS a true edge screen is almost too much to resist, root or not, plus there's always samsung pay while it's still 0x0...i see myself getting it, only question is when and will i also spent flagship money on a second device (OP3? nexus? Htc?- pretty much all are sd820...) until a good root method or unlocked bootloader becomes a reality....

I'm always with 2 phones, 1 is usually a nexus device, the note series have been my go to though. I'll likely get the N7 and do what I can do to it with in the confines of no super user. Nexus devices are so cheap, you can always pick up one for around $200, excluding the 6p. The devs here on XDA are top notch, so I'm always confident they'll come up with something.

Well a locked bootloader is a locked bootloader in most cases. The s7 exploit is really just a Samsung repair kernel that was leaked that's really not fit for prime time, unfortunately...
And even that is still limited in no custom recovery or roms, just stock debloat, xposed, viper/etc...

I wouldn't say can't, it can in fact happen and has. It just isn't easy. There are snapdragon devices that never got stable CM builds. Just in the case with the exynos, the odds aren't in their favor.
If I do get the Note 7, which I probably will, it will be with the knowledge that if most likely will never be unlocked. I have been running pure stock and not even rooted for a couple weeks now to see how unrooted life is. I have been rooted and running a custom rom for several years now. Like I said before, there are some cool features in custom roms but the need for them just isn't what it used to be. The only thing I am truly missing is Viper. So for me it comes down to the simple question of which is more important. What is more important, all of the new features of the new phone or the ability to use Viper.
I swore I wouldn't buy a locked phone and would move to the Nexus line but based on the rumors of the next Nexus phones, I am not thrilled with them. I just don't see anything that I would rather move to over the Note 7 based on what we know so far. That along with the fact that I am on the original Jump program so without needing to buy the phone outright, I need to pick from T-Mobiles selections.
A lot of the reasons to have root can be accomplished with apps so life without root isn't a huge deal for me anymore. I just wish there was a Viper alternative that can be used without root. Anyone know of one?

Is there any phones that have great rooting support?

I am just curious is there any AT&T phones with rooting support . I was thinking of buying a LG phone but I am not for sure does this phone have root support
Well, no phone does actually have root support out of the box. If you are talking about modding support then the Nexuses and the Motos (especially the G series) have a really good modding support (speaking from experience). Hell, the Moto G4 was one of the first phones to get official lineageOS along the various Nexus. I can't really speak for LG, but a quick search here on XDA it's probably going to give you a general idea of the modding community status

Get the LG then. I was saying that the Google devices are always a sure bet for root and custom development. Google doesn't do all the tricky stuff to lock their devices and make them unrootable, they WANT users to root them and they want users to create custom development for them, that's the purpose of the Android Open Source Project(AOSP).
All current google devices have this kind of support and so will any new device they release. Google devices are always a sure bet for custom development. Other manufacturers/carriers have a tendency to go through a lot of trouble to make the popular devices unrootable, especially with updates they release.

You can't just go by the name of a device, you have to do your research using the specific model number of the device.
For example, there are many different model numbers of S6 or S7 but each model number is different. This means that you can have some S6 or S7 model numbers that can be rooted but also some that can't. You can't just go by whether S6 or S7 has root, you have to go by whether "this" or "that" model number of S6 or S7 has root or not.
Basically, if you're looking at a certain model number of LGV20 then you need to get its specific model number and use that number to do your research to see if there is root and custom development available for that specific model number. There may be various model numbers of LGV20, some models may have root available and some models might not, it really depends on the carrier.
