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

Hello friends. I am new in galaxy s7 . But I come from the galaxy s6, and have some experience. I wore Xtrestolite in S6. This ROM had many Csc features. Some of them could bear to S7. But I'm having problems with Smart manager dual screen and AppLock. Someone has AppLock running ?! Can help with this ??? Tnx.
Fellow XDA members I put together a review of the changes to the Galaxy S7 Edge and best features of the Android Nougat 7.0 update. Enjoy Mod Edit
These Galaxys will get Android 8.0
Galaxy S8 – Android ‘O’ will be the first major OS upgrade

Thanks for this good news. Do you know if the Galaxy S7 will soon get this new interface (with android 7.1.1 for example), or if we have to wait for the android O update ?

You're welcome. I also asked them few days ago will S7 get 7 1.1 Nougat and they told me: "YES. BUT WE ARE NOT SURE WHEN". I hope that they will bring it with 7.1.1. Also they didn't say with what version will S7 get new UI. If I find out I will let you know.

Google is set to release the next iteration of its Android OS Android O on 21 August which is the day of the US total solar eclipse. While we are just a day away from the launch, most of the smartphone manufacturers are now gearing up to provide the new update to their recently launched smartphones. As such, one of the top brands Samsung is also preparing for the update and is looking forward to providing Android O for its smartphones with its Grace UI on top which will be better optimized to run the software smoothly. While the company has been a bit slow in providing updates, hopefully, this time Samsung rolls out the update at a much faster pace.
Looking at Nougat, Samsung got the first updates out to the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge in China and the UK 143 days after Google released Android 7.0. The update took a grand total of 180 days to reach US shores, landing first on T-Mobile, followed by AT&T the day after and Sprint two days after that. Verizon hobbled across the finish line a couple of weeks later. -- What the actual f(*)ck, samsung?!
you might be right, mate!
Good news for s7 users. But android O is really worst than android N reported by some forums due to less root capabilites and different system structure.

I will be happy if they release a Android 7.1.1 with Experience UI for S7E. Tired of flashing ported roms

Yes. I am tired of flashing s8 ports, aosp roms etc. They should release it for s7.
In the market to root and CFW my S7. The Samsung repair center broke my S6 128GB on a simple battery replacement.... They replaced it with an S7 32GB.. (sigh, bye bye IR...)
So just looking at the method to get this one going and looks atm only Android 8 is available? Or am I missing something on the customs. Thanks.
Anyone?
Yes, A8 is the last version
