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

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

Hi,
I'm looking to update my Samsung S5 mini to a custom ROM or an official one with at least Android 5, but coudn't find information about it.
Now I have heard about an update 5.1.1. from Vodafone and have a question. If my Samsung S5 mini device (Germany) has the PDA number G800FXXU1AOG2 could the update from Android 4.4.2 to 5.1.1. still work with the G800FXXU1BOL4 at:
sammobile dot com firmwares/download/64164/G800FXXU1BOL4_G800FVFG1BOL1_VD2/
And what does it mean "Country=Germany (Vodafone)" ? Will it only work with Vodafone or all SIMs including prepaid, just will have a Vodafone look?
The update would be even fine with an US user interface or language. The main thing is that it should work or being revertable

I can definitely not recommend Samsung devices for this very reason. Otherwise they would be really good. I decided against a Motorola only because of the exchangeable battery to avoid throwing away the phone after 2 years (or expensive replacement), now I have to throw away the phone due to very old and insecure software. Ugly.
I'm going to buy a Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910L. I just wanted to know if it's possible to root the MM version of this particular variant, also if there's any custom ROM available for this variant.
The reason I'm asking this is because I recently bought a LG G4 H818P and found out that the MM version of that phone isn't possible to root yet and also there isn't any custom ROM available. So, I downgraded it to LP, but there are a lot of bugs, very very bad battery life. So now I'm bound to switch to another phone and found that Note 4 is the one that meets my budget and requirements.
Any advice is very much welcomed. Thanks in advance.
Hi all,
I have got a few questions for a GALAXY S7 owners
I havent got time for customizing again everything from my LG G2 ROM, and I guess original ROM from S7 will be slower and slower with time, even on such a new phone like S7. So it would be great to have same ROM, I mean CM13.
1. Which ROM is the best for S7? Have we got stable CyanogenMod ? with working original camera and dual pixel feature ?
1.1 Is there any poll on the forum/ internet with votes which ROM is the best? That would be very good illustration what is the best choice.
2. exynos and snapdragon - which version should I buy here in UK?
3. Is ROOT a problem for a galaxy s7? I will need to root my phone definitely.
4. What should I consider when buying, the new one and used one ?
My LG G2 is really super fast with CM13 ROM + xposed and tweaks, but I am running out with space and there is no microsd slot + phone is plastic, galaxy has got dual pixel and f 1.7 lens which is much better.
I am still not sure if shold I update just because of this 3 points (space, plastic and camera).
Thanks for help:good:
anything ?
1,1.1 Head over to the development forum for roms. Usually the threads with most replies and views are an indication of which roms are most popular and that have good dev support. No CyanogenMod for this phone.
2,3. You can only get root with Exynos phones at this stage

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.
