Hi guys
I used to use Cyanogenmod. Recently I've been looking to put my Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-920F on Cyanogenmod 13.
I'm not totally set on Cyanogenmod but I would really like to try out some 3rd party ROMs. Anyone know any that are close to functional on android 6. I've been looking around and the versions I've found of cyanogenmod have a list of missing features. The other ROMs I've found are on Android 5.1.1.
I'm not concerned if theres a few things missing on the features list.
Any thoughts guys, what are you guys using.
I used to stick with the Cyanogenmod ROMs as well until I got my 920F.
I've played with a few of them, but I'm currently showing the CarHDRom some love along with the Twisted Kernel V10.
The Pixel ROM is also worth a look.
I'm no expert but I know what I like.
~Thanks for that. I'd seen carHD but th elink I found was on android 5.1 I'll take a look at all of them

Can someone make a s5 style rom for the sprint galaxy s4 sph_l720t that has things like the system ui and the ultra power saving mode i know those features and many others can work on the s4 because ive seen many s4 roms for verizon like that i just want one that is for sprint because i dont want to mess up my phone by installing a rom i know you can install verizon rom on the sprint s4 but i dont like it that you have to go to all this trouble including getting a aftermarket sms app i want a rom that works for the sprint s4 without all the trouble
Hi,
Then perhaps you should take the initiative and create your own rom? Anyone can do it with a little homework first. This section has many guides and tutorials that will help you from beginning to end,

Then you'll not be inconvenienced like you are now.
Good luck! ?

I was wondering about z5....but so many people are compaling about that device. And I have had a z5 in my hand, and it took awfull photos (low light). I was breaking my s6's back panel, BUT I re purchased the s6 yesterday again. I have tried the 6.0 with it, and looks promising ( I love the manual camera shutter sped control).
come back. this is a cheap device already, ($300-350), and there is non better on the market what have this huge amount of features like s6 (with 6.0 )
Why would you go back to a device where your main issue is the OS? That's just wierd.
Get a Nexus if you want AOSP.
The CM13 you are referring to in your OP is a TEST build and should NOT be used as a daily driver. Bugs, things are broken / not working.
Sounds like you might wanna research some other phones / brands before jumping back to a device your not comfortable with IMO.

im asking what about new firmwares, have them fix major galaxy s6 issues like ram management?
Samsung will release the gs6' sourcecode after the marshmallow release. This will make the custom rom community much more effective. Looking forward
Edit @renolzSry: I meant kernel sourcecode

This is not a development thread for this Great Tab... this is merely a Q&A for everyone that wants to be involved and share their experience with the Tablet. I personally concider this tab one of the best on the market at its price point and beyond. The reason I've decided to open this thread is the fact that not much info floating around for this device so everything I've done from rooting it, installing custom recovery, installing xposed framework (which took me few attempts to find the right files), partial port of the Theme Store (couldn't find one so used Theme Store apk from my S6Edge+) and tweaking build.prop file to get the best result possible wasn't exhausting but not as fast as to find any of the mentioned for other Samsung devices. So welcome to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 T715 on MM world!!!
In no way I'm a developer but consider myself an advanced user and maybe even a Themer (beginner). At first I thought of making my first TouchWiz Custom ROM for this tab based on the latest MM update but to be honest I don't have time for it but I can definitely improve your User Experience by suggesting few things since there is no custom roms for our Tab (for those that prefer TouchWiz and not CyanogenMod). I guarantee that even odexed it can be customized, tweaked and purely made great.
Talk about Screen on time, Stanby time, Xposed, Recovery, Root, Your opinion, Your thoughts, Your ideas.
Welcome!!!

There is no full Theme Store port but you can have Icons, Wallpaper, Folder image and it's bg applied.

Too bad there is no real TouchWiz development for this great Tab. if anyone hears anything, plz let me know. but at this point I'm completely satisfied with the tweaks I applied. Stanby is great, SOT is great, customized it and enjoying it very much... fast, fluid, stable!

so can you point me to a great TW MM rom for tab s2 T715 ?! following the link I don't see any. 2 roms, one abandoned, the other don't seem stable. I'm running odexed, rooted, busy box, xposed, theme store partially ported, with build.prop edited. did it all without the link you provided, just from the info gathered over the years. no issues whatsoever, great battery, fast, smooth, but thanx for the info. (and thanx for your input in development for this tab).

Hi All,
Does anyone know if there is a way to update the SM-P900 ROM but still keep full functionality for the S-Pen, and Samsung apps?
I'm on 5.0.2, have TWRP installed, and am rooted.
I tried a 6.0.1 CM ROM, but it loses a lot of the ability that the Samsung ROM has, as well as many people mentioning that it has issues with the S-Pen causing crashes.
Basically, I'd like to get the security updates, and 6.0.1 options, without losing the rest of the Note functionality, because it feels like CM removes the whole point of being on a Note Tablet, which for me is the S-Pen.
CM is fine and all, but it's always felt too AOSP for me, when used on devices like the Note series.
My Note 3 is on a Note 5 port, that allows basically everything to be modified without losing the important features, and I realize that might not be a realistic expectation on the 12.2 Pro, it seems like a waste of good hardware for the background OS not being updated yet still maintaining itself as a Note device.
Any thoughts on if this is possible, or is it simply a matter of the hardware lacking the ability to run 6.0.1 and the software lacking the compatibility?
Thank you!
This isn't likely what you want to hear. But Samsung's "feel" relies on its TouchWiz interface, which for our tablet is not available in Marshmallow. However, if you want a rooted tablet that's somewhat debloated yet still has TouchWiz, I'd recommend the excellent CivZ Lollipop. Perhaps you know of it already. If not...

Hello,
today I got a new Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos).
Since today I always had a Galaxy S2 with Cyanogenmod installed. I never ever used the original Samsung ROM.
Sadly there is no Cyanogenmod for Galaxy S7.
I am looking for a ROM with these features:
- as much AOSP/Cyanogenmod like as possible, I don't need touchwiz, I'm fine with e.g. NovaLauncher (*but I heard there are battery drain issues on S7??*)
- no preinstalled apps, no google play store, a really "clean" android (of course camera, sensors etc should work)
- possibility to encrypt device, root, xprivacy
- a nice dark theme
1) Is there a ROM that suits my needs?
2) Or should I take the newest official ROM and debloat it with the tutorials here on the board.
Thank you for your suggestions! There are so many ROMs here, it is hard to choose.

1: No. There are no AOSP/CM roms for the S7 due to lack of sources for the kernel. The best you can do is to run some "custom" touchwiz rom where most samsung apps (such as dialer, contacts, clock etc) have been removed and replaced with their google counterparts, but in the end of the day, it's still a touchwiz rom.
2: Since the last phone you owned was the S2, I suggest you give stock touchwiz a real chance, a lot has changed since the S2 stock days so who knows, you might get used to it. The Android 7.0 Beta rom is quite good looking and quite fast, not stock android fast but still pretty good. Give it a shot and see how you feel about it.
