I have a plain Galaxy S6 (not edge) with the basic Samsung ROM on android 7.0 and I am looking for the lightest ROM out there that maximizes the battery.
I want to be using the phone as a 4G wifi hotspot and nothing else so the ROM should be completely free of bloatware or any apps other than what it is needed to the run the hotspot service.
Doesn't really matter what android version it is.
What do you guys suggest?

Since i have upgraded from 5.0.2 i am no longer a user of s6. Coz it feels like running marshmallow on s2. It is lagging alot with maximum battery consumption and alot more. If you haven't upgraded to 5.1.1 please donot do so. Or you have to buy s7 for better perfomance.
The s6 is more then capable of running marshmallow let alone any rom. Why don't you install cm13 marshmallow rom it's very light on the phone. Super fast, debloated and gives you tons of options and tweaks..

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.
My phone is approaching it's 1 year warranty period, and I'm ready to root the device, trip my Knox, and unleash the beast.
I'm looking for a lightweight ROM alternative for the stock rom. I love the ROM, but I can also live without the extra features as I used to own a Nexus device. Either the lightest Google ROM or lightest TouchWiz made for the S7.
The main reason for this is that I used to own a Nexus which was capable of running 1GB RAM idle with the app's that I use. However, on the S7, I found that my phone is using double the resources. I want there to be a lot of power reserve just in case I run power intensive apps and save battery. I also want the ROM as compatible to the S7 (S7 ROM modified, not a Pixel ROM altered to work for an S7) as I don't want to run into compatibility issues in the longer run (just bring paranoid). What's a recommended ROM?
Hydra ROM is one of my faviroute tw roms, it gives you the edge screen functionality and has some small customisations in the rom control, it has great ram management, performance and battery life. You could check out shark jungle's review on it on yt I found that helpful

Recently got the Exynos Galaxy S7.
As a stock android user, I found touchwiz a bit over kill for me, and I can't even imagine myself using the heavily customized rom.
I was wondering if there is a frequently updated light mod TW rom that I can use on daily basis?
