Frankenstein is the best working ROM for s6. I have been using it for quite some time without any problems.

Stock Lollipop theme for S6 ?

So is there a stock Lollipop looking theme for Galaxy S6 ? and if there isn't, do you think there will be one ? Is it possible to create one ?
Thanks
I have been waiting for this as well since I bought the phone. All the ROMs I have seen seems to use TouchWiz.

I Didden't found anything on this forum or anywhere else.
Would love that have it on the s7 without waiting for the nougat update (probaly)
Not sure if its possible i hope so!
Thnx in advance
That's the only way apparently, is to install the ported roms.

I'd like to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S3 to a newer Android version.

Hi guys
I would like to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S3 Model GT-I9300 from Android version 4.3 to a newer version. Do you have any recommendations?
I don't have anything important on the phone, so I don't really need any backup.

Root your device, then install a custom recovery then try some of the available custom ROMs for i9300 until you find one that you like and fits your needs/purposes. It's pointless to ask for ROM suggestions, they are all different and not everybody likes the same things. You'll just have to try more than one ROM until you're satisfied with what you have.

Thanks Droidriven
I am new to this so I have limited knowledge of ROM available and what the difference between them.
I have managed to install LineageOS v14.1 Android 7.1.2 so far so good.

You're welcome, Lineage is a good choice as long as they have the bugs worked out, if it has too many bugs for you, try some other slightly older marshmallow or lollipop ROMS from the i9300 forum here, they will probably be more developed and stable, your choice though.

I will, so far I haven't experienced any bug. :good:

No, it only work for galaxy s6 not s6 edge......the battery position for s6 edge is totally different from s7 edge. I wish I could stop this battery from draining fast.

No, their battery connectors are not the same, for now, no other samsung battery work for s6 edge.
if this doesnt work on the s6 edge, then this is posted in the wrong section. this is the "Galaxy S6 EGDE Android Development" section. So if it doesnt work on the edge, it needs to get moved

We were talking about the S7 batteries on S6/S6 Edge and not the ROM

My mistake then. My apologies.
So this WILL work on the edge? Does it work on the 925T (T-Mobile?)
Is the battery drain THAT significant? I know when I simply rooted my wife's S7, it had significant battery drain and lagged like no other. Has anyone tried using a kernel editor and limiting the processor?

I actually use NexusOS Android Pie ROM on my 925F it works perfectly and the only known bug is the Bluetooth audio call not working. Battery life is same as always not impressive and I have to live with it.
I don't know if it's again XDA to put the ROM download link here since the thread is about RR but you can google for it.

Get into the recovery and do a reset to factory settings.

I hope by now you were able to fix your device? You should download the original software for you device with Samsung smart switch for PC, it will restore your device to the original firmware and recovery then you can try flashing TWRP for your device again using Odin. And from there any custom recovery
On my g925f it just randomly reboots

SM-P900 Official Update Other Than 5.0.2?

Sorry to bother with this, but I´d like to know if there is any official update for this great tablet. Can´t believe Samsung did such a tablet (almost a laptop) and never update it. Mine says "all up to date"... But 5.0.2 is way old... Any ideas not involving complicated root actions?
Thank you very much!
No, sorry. Version 5.0.2 is the latest (and last) version available for the Galaxy Note Pro SM-P900. Samsung won't update it any further. It basically abandoned that tablet a long time ago.
After picking one up from Craig's List, I rooted it and put the latest Resurrection Remix custom ROM on it. That's based on Android 7.1.2. It makes the Galaxy Note Pro fly, and really gives it a second life. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for the answer. Is it worth the root? And can you guide me or direct me to do that?

It's not that it doesn't work well but I guess it would work much better with new version of the Samsung apps and spen features.
I use it to write plays with wps and take notes on my rehearsals. So I could stay on 5 if it is not worth it
