Depending on what firmware version you have you may not even be able to root. But personally I did it so I could get rid of the massive amounts of bloatware

I rooted my s6 and am running a slim version of the stick rom. I found that the battery is slightly better without all the other Samsung apps.

Rooted and on clean rom lite 1.1.
Rooted on stock ROM but removed bloatware, unwanted ringtones and notifications.
If you're on OC3 or OE2 and you know and fully understand the rooting process and the pros and cons that come along with rooting, GO FOR IT!
Debloat and have more control of your device.
If I weren't stuck on OF1, I'd be abusing the [email protected]#t out of my phone right now.

ugh i think im on of1
i installed that 10min ota update because i wasnt thinking straight. cant tell if i had of1 already or it updated me to of1
Sucks for us then.
Like in the topic.
In call volume is the main concern.
Thanks
I'm still on KitKat... refused the Lollipop update. No issues with in call volume... definitely loud enough.
Same here. Never was a fan of lollipop's look. Still snappy since i got it first few weeks it came out. Battery still strong. No probs with in call volume either. Notification volume is louder from what i read also.
As it turns out, speed difference and real world performance is nil if any. Looking back, kk may be the windows xp version of android, light and quick vs heavier fancier more features of newer versions to come.
Check it out!

In call volume is fine for me but using the speakers for music I find lacklustre.

Hi guys, just bought a 6653, i'am about to root it via firmware downgrade, and wonder, after root, should i flash :
the last KK 4.4 23.0.1.A.5.77
OR GO FOR
the last LP 5.1.1 23.4.A.0.546
Does it really worth upgrading to 5.1.1?
Thanks for your answers, cheers
Iam also still on rooted KK, runs perfectly with Greenify and Amplify. Up to 8h DOT with 70% Brightness on 3 Days.
Never change a running System.

What version?
I received my z3 today and it came with 5.0.2, i updated to 5.1.1 but it feels weird.
Can i downgrade to kk without problems?
Thanks!
I would love to know as well.
Please share with us how to downgrade.
Please be "gentle " because I haven't done root in my life yet

I downgraded after trying lollipop. My reception is 100% worse at home and also got the mobile radio active bug when out and about on data on both 5.0.2 and 5.1.1. Shame, because otherwise the OS is really slick and smooth. Oh well.

Lollipop was worse. I tried fullwipe installation of 5.1.1 but still had those issues mentioned. When I downgraded I had an old TWRP backup so I just deleted everything but storage in TWRP and restored the backup and it seems to be fine for me. Though flashing an official FTF 4.4.4 might be better to just make sure but I'm a bit too lazy for that right now lol.
Im on 4.4.4
Love it. But I would like to try 5.1.1 on my D6616... Can't find a pre_rooted flashable.zip though.

I just downgrade my Z3 from LP 5.1.1 to KK 4.4.4. Yes, use that method from that link. But be extra cautious while using the Flashtool to downgrade to KK 4.4.4. REMEMBER to WIPE App Info, Cache and User Data at the top right of Flashtool. I forgot about it and my phone went to Bootloop problem. Had a hard time on figuring out on how to stop the bootloop. If anyone forget about it and went to bootloop, just totally switch off the Z3 by pressing power + up vol together. Then run Flashtool again. This time round don't mind about USB Debugging etc cause you cant go in anyway.
Almost 3 weeks on Kitkat 23.0.1..5.77
Its very fast and smooth, wonder if LP would give me any improvement (or disadvantage) ?
I'm also back on KK after 5.0 and 5.1 stints. I had all the classic problems associated with Lollipop whereas KK is rock solid.

HI There. Its not always easy to tell but how can I determine that I am running the latest firmware/baseband for my tmob note 5.
I currently have N920tuvu1a0ge
as there been an update since.
Yes, just go into setting> aboutphonr and software update and you should get ~3 or 4 updates lol
Unless you're rooted. Then the latest is OJ5 I think
I'm rooted so I can't do that

I had that problem too, along with lots of lag. The reason is because you have the Noble kernel. Flash SkyHigh instead as the Noble kernel is very buggy.

Okay, like how did you get to that point, and how can I do the same?
Is there any real advantage to running MM instead of LP?
I'd probably lose the ability to install ViPER4Android if I went to MM and that would not be good, so there would have to be solid advantages to having MM.

Doze to give you better battery management , a lot of apps now are only compatible with lollipop and up.
But its your choice if you are happy with JB you can stick with it.

Lol, I made a typo!
Not JB, I have LP. See my signature.
I use Leandroid. Doze would be inferior anyway.
I'll edit the post.

Hello, I am thinking of getting this phone but I'm worried about not being able to update to 6.0. I currently have the OnePlus One and I'm on 6.0 and I love all the new features. To get M working on this do I have to simply, unlock the bootloader, root the phone, install custom recovery (TWRP) and then download the rom + gapps to make it work? That is the standard process for other phones, I just want to make sure I won't have any issues before I buy the phone.
Thanks for your help in advance.

i do B326 to B511 all thing are good but i see 2 notes:
1 - i don't find my explorer internet .
2- i don't find my loupe.
If you want to try MM on Mate 7, you start with a standard phone. Stock recovery etc. Just drop the genuine Huawei update or stock ROM into the dload folder on SD card and start update from the OS running normally. Can also start update in recovery mode.
Have to be very careful to only use an update or ROM that is compatible though. If you use the wrong one it bricks the OS. I think differences in CUST folder, maybe partition sizes and such.

I would recommend getting the phone, but still sticking with the OP1 for a while, as you will definitely not appreciate EMUI. There's this really awesome guy working on getting Cyanogenmod 13 running on the device. He just made a massive breakthrough with getting GPU drivers running, so it can be anything from a few more days to weeks before we have a stable-enough build.
Check out his thread for more details and updates.
Black Friday is quickly approaching, and the SM-G930U (Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 - US Unlocked version) is on sale at Best Buy, but I am also considering the HTC 10 which is also on sale. Both are similar in price. I can't make up my mind which one I want, but the tie breaker will go to whichever can be rooted, preferably systemless root.
So... Is the SM-G930U rootable? If so, is it systemless?
Exynos is rootable, not snapdragon.
Alright thanks for the update. I know this can change at any moment but I don't want to hold my breath since it's been a very long time for such a popular phone to not be broken, and I've gone through tons of threads on here where some say it's rootable and others say no, falsely getting my hopes up but they're probably still getting the versions confused.

Yeah, but it destroys performance. You can get it semi-close to stock but not stock-like.

Have you tried flashing any of the fixes and adjusting the CPU governor? I'm getting great performance. And it'd more be helpful to just say it exists but can make it slow rather than it doesn't exist at all.

I didn't say it didn't.
Also, yeah. Clean install (factory resetted) and I've tried pretty much everything to at least get semi-good performance.
I gave up when I missed that Pikachu in NYC because my phone kept freezing.
Rootable but slow and freeze, even with all the tweaks.
I have a USA-U version.

Sorry, I thought it was the other user replying. But yeah, not sure what to tell ya. I flashed the recommended zip and set my governor to ondemand, got no freezes or lag. Battery life could be better but for root it's a sacrifice worth making. Tbh just waiting for nougat then I'm doing an Odin flash and running clean stock.

So one user is saying that it is rootable but suffers from performance issues, but you are saying that yours doesn't?
Why do you want to go back to stock?

Kinda of? Mine would be suffering from performance issues if I didn't change the governor and flash the fix zip. The engboot root method defaults the cpu governor to performance, causing issues. Anyone who's doing some reading on the forums should be able to find the fixes I did though.
As for going back to stock, that's only once nougat comes out, because I rather be on stock nougat than rooted marshmallow.
