I am looking for a 7. x ROM where Bluetooth Phone Audio and WIFI work correctly. I have already tested many Customs. Nexus, LineageOS, Ressurection etc. etc.
Make it yourself if you cant wait for them to fix it
also I'm using a nexus based oreo rom and all of those things work for me
also im guessin you want a AOSP based nougat rom not Touchwiz?
DrKetan_custom_ROM works fine. Its a note 5 ROM ported to s6. I have not had any real issues with it. However I just upgraded to NexusOS-8.1.0-zerofltexx-20180113 and I have had no issues on Oreo that I could not get around. But keep in mind I am a computer programming student. So if I have an issue with root or init.d or permissions I simply fix the issue and move on.

I am getting the itch to put on a custom ROM of my GS3, but I have a Fitbit One and would like for it to continue to update over the phone. I've tried CM10.1, but it appears that there is a problem with the BT4.0 and the phone doesn't want to try to connect to the fitbit. I'm not close to a computer much currently to update the fitbit.
TL: DR- Is there a working ROM where the BT4.0/BLE is working somewhat properly?
Thanks in advance.
I'm looking for the same thing. I switched back to a Stock variant to get BT4 working and the Stock ROM is total garbage after using Cyanogen Mod. I don't want to have to choose one or the other!
There is not a single ROM out there at the moment that has Bluetooth 4.0 working. Google has not released or included a lib file for it to work. Sure our devices have the hardware but the software has no clue how to utilize it. Maybe next version of android will have it.
The 4.1.2 Omega ROM was working for me. The ROM will need to be based off of Samsung's official as it will need their hacked Bluetooth stack - they worked directly wth Fitbit to get it up and running. I've since upgraded to the Omega 4.2.2 AOKP ROM and it no longer works (which I expected).
BLE
The only ROM that i've found with working BT4/BLE is the one by beanstown.. i do confirm it working just fine for my fitbit flex.

I have a fitbit as well and I am trying to figure out what it would take to get it working with CyanogenMod. I flashed an unofficial 10.2 (4.3) and still no luck with the fitbit.
try the 4.3 version of CM in teh development section? I thought this was an added or fixed feature in teh newest version of android. not too sure though.
Hey guys, I've been searching around for a rom that is compatible with the Sprint variants of the G920/G925. I've been having lots.. and I mean LOTS of trouble finding a rom that works with my phone (I have a G925P). An answer to this would really help me out ^^
I do have a list of what I want in roms as well, I'm looking for the following:
Rom is running Android 6.0.1 and beyond
Currently being maintained
Debloated and De-Knoxed
Compressed Size
Have apps like Android Pay to work (Apps using SafetyNet)
Has option to keep stock kernel for Magisk and Systemless Xposed
Multi-user Support
Battery Friendly
Allows for lockscreen customization/custom lock apps
And there you go, that's mainly what I'm looking for. Now, if it's an entire OS like LineageOS, I'm willing to try it but, it must fall within the lines of what I'm looking for (or as close as possible). Any answer would be acceptable IF it runs on my phone without any problems (basically, just throw out any answer you have).
Also, here is a list of ROMs I have already tried/searched:
Renegade v7 (No longer being maintained but I am currently using it)
LineageOS (Someone else confirmed that the kernel isn't compatiable with the G920P/G925P)
Mostly Stock for Samsung S6 Edge (I actually plan on trying this one again, as it is debloated and looks more like the stock so I can use more Xposed Modules)
CarRom HD (This bricked my phone after flashing the kernel, data didn't work when I had gotten it to work BEFORE I bricked it)
Alexis ROM (Doesn't work with Sprint variants)
I'm currently using Big Daddy PL3 Aroma V1.x which works great. I haven't been able to get magisk to work as of yet, but everything else is great.
So I have recently installed Resurrection Remix on my Galaxy S6 SM-G920F and everything went smoothly...until something didn't.
My only problem with this Rom (I only believe its the rom, I haven't flashed my samsung backup yet) so far has been that when calling out or receiving calls, most of the time, I cannot be heard.
This even appeared to cause problems with my in-car bluetooth.
Does anyone have any solution to this problem or anyone suffered with this? I need to be able to use my phone as a phone for work especially.
Thank you in advance!!
It's a known problem on AOSP ROMs.
The only thing you can do is wait for bugfix.

Total shame because its an amazing ROM. I absolutely hate the TouchWiz UI and don't want to have to go back to it...might not have a choice at the moment.
Can you help me please? How did you install RR? I also have the S6 g920f. I tried it but it doesn´t work.
Hello,
I got a real good deal on the samsung s7 so i took it.
My question to you is, shall is stick to stock os or install a custom rom?
the reason i ask this is cause i was using a redmi note 4 and the custom firmware is kinda buggy, i need to reboot once a while. its running on 8.1.
it has LTE issues, Keyboard issues, apps crash randomly, slows down once a while.
Also, if i root it and install 8.1 on my samsung will the camera quality go down? i have heard this is true? can someone please correct me.
Honestly i want a stable experiance with a good camera, thats all.
Please advice.
Stable & Full camera quality, stick to stock
You need a TouchWiz ROM with stock camera app to get 100% camera quality
Custom ROMs are much more likely to be unstable than stock, but I haven't tried any

I've run a variety of Custom AOSP / AOKP Roms on my S7 - Nougat and Oreo 8.1 - After the latest Samsung Firmware update - I figured that I'd run Stock Rooted for a while - Stock is Definitely more stable than any of the AOSP /AOKP Custom Roms and the Camera is one thing that is constantly being complained about on AOSP / AOKP Roms.... That being said - If you like the idea of Running a Custom Rom & are prepared for some bugs - They can certainly be used as a Daily Driver ??
Sent from my SM-G955W ??
Hey thanks for the reply guys!
i thought maybe since the device is old someone might have ported a stock quality like camera.
its easy for me to say i guess! im sure its tough. well, i guess i'll install the pixel rootless launcher and keep using this beast! im not much of a heavy user its just whatsapp and instagram chats mostly.
though i'll miss android 8.1. but stability is worth it!
i was thinking how about i install a 8.1 rom+ google camera[ is it stable and better than stock now?]

Nope. If you want camera performance and overall stability, go with touchwiz. 8.1 aosp is in beta rn
Great, I shall wait for a while then
Thank you guys!
Hi everybody,
I recently got an S6 edge in my hands and wanted to flash Lineage OS (as I'm already familiar to it). I found this site:
https://www.los-legacy.de/
Does anybody know if the ROM developpers are known and if the ROMs are as safe and secure as the official builds were? I would really appreciate an experience report as I am still very insecure about those ROMs.

all custom roms here have three big bugs and that's echo on call,bad camera and battery drain so if use daily then stay on stock rom or use stock based like marduck or ultimate nougat 3.1 is great too which is based on port from s8

Hi becho, thanks for your information. I wasn't aware that the echo on call bug is in every custom ROM - thats a good advice for me. I'll go for a stock based ROM as you suggested.

My roms are safe because they are created with a private key and not with a test key from lineageos.
The builds I currently use are all MicroG builds.
For s6 I don't give support anymore as I don't own the device anymore.
For normal Rom you will find here
Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development
For unified AOSP type ROMs, kernels and mods., suitable for multiple S6 / S6 Edge versions
forum.xda-developers.com
And yes look at my xda profile there you will find all my builds that I have published.
