ROMs, Mods, Tweaks ? - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I pre-ordered my galaxy, but my question is, do you think we would have lots of roms, tweaks and improvements from XDA, or is the Note 5 getting all the love ? As currently they have 10x the amount of things there are for the edge+.

I hope not. Just got this baby yesterday and dying to root and flash something...anything. lol Fingers crossed for some development love for our beloved edge+

Any differences between Kernel and ROM? Do we normally flash custom ROM prior to root?

Anyone else get ROM ENVY with Verizon Note 3?

When I first bought the note 3, I was really hoping to flash roms every week as I've done with my past HTC phones, but no luck.
I'm not complaining here, but I understand the lock-down of the bootloader, but any of you other rom flashers out there feel what I feel?
When I look at the other forum's I wish our stupid bootloader was unlocked and devs would make kernels and roms for it and I'd be flashing to my hearts desire?
Am I the only one???
I assure you that you are not alone. Lots of us used to flash lots of roms on previous devices but now that I have tried the roms for this phone I have stuck with Jasmine for a couple months now. I only get to flash when there is an update now.
Me as well. | am happy to be able to do the little I can though.
Come tax refund time though Im going Note 4 unlocked on someone other than verizon
Kicking Deuce on the Beast, Note 3
There hasn't been the plethora of roms that I had hoped for but we do have quality over quantity IMO. We are in uncharted waters as devices seem to get harder to root and flash custom roms. Especially with Hashcode retiring things are really up in the air...
I do agree that the quality is good. I've been on Jasmine 2.3 for a long time. I haven't upgraded to 2.3.4 because it's so smooth and I've had 0 problems other than the 2nd incoming call bug. I'm waiting for 2.4 so I can get a fresh update. All in all great phone and works flawlessly with my gear 2.
Traded mine for an S5. Haven't regretted it one single time! For a recent phone this place is dead!

[Q] 910G Variant Lollipop Firmware

Hello XDA,
I have the 910G variant and I've been waiting for the release OTA or via Kies since the release began but bubkiss.
Sammy mobile literally has dozens of variant firmware and theres plenty of threads on here about cross flashing X to Y or what have you but not a single mention (according to a fair amount of searching) on whether any of the existing ROMs work for the G or whether its going to be released etc.
My question is, does anyone know of any of the variant versions that WOULD/SHOULD work with the 910G or if the firmware is out there and I'm just an idiot?
If someone can recommend a ROM to try within reasonable margins I'll definitely give it a shot and be a guinea pig.
Thanks in advance.

F ROM's will work on our G device with a custom kernel like AEL - but we need the bootloader and modems for our G model first, which we cant do without samsungs release.

Find me this question anywhere else on the forum and I'll take it down.
I've been a member a LOT longer then you, I just never post.
From my understanding our modem and bootloader is different from the n910f and therefore we can't flash it on our n910g untill someone finds a custom kernel or sammy releases it. Sucks i know, I'm waiting for lollipop since it was mentioned by Google

It was literally the main reason I bought this phone over the Nexus 6, I had a Note 3 and flashed the early Lollipop leak and that was such an incredible leap in quality I felt the lollipop for the note 4 would make it the best phone on the market by a long shot, especially given the 4.4.4 firmware was already so much better then the usually touchwiz fair.
Oh well, patience is a virtue, if only I could buy it on ebay.
Yep we just gotta wait, sucks but it's android and not ios and since we all love android we have no choice but to wait. The only good thing about ios if you get updates fast, but that's not good enough for me to use that horrible os.

Agreed.
I handle iPhones at work a lot and I have to admit the hardware is gorgeous and Android hasn't totally outdone the iPhone 6 yet in hardware, but the software, the most important part is far and away much better.
Every time I pick up an IP6 and think "man this sure is sexy...maybe the software is better now" I try to navigate through menus and end up playing the "wheres the back button now!" game and I hate it.
I like the design of the iP6, but i absolutely hate the OS with so much hatred lol. I would never go back to iOs. If only you could install android on a ip6...
I'm officially starting to get pissed off enough to consider returning the phone, the rep guaranteed me the Lollipop update would be out for my variant the week it released for all others.
Clearly thats not true.
What is taking so long to release?
Let's hope it'll be out asap.

Ok I have gotten tired of waiting and the battery life on my Note 4 has almost halved since I got it about 2 months ago, I'm going to try to flash the 910F version onto my device, I'm downloading it atm can anyone tell me where I can find spec sheets or something for the various models as I'm not too sure if the F is for the Snapdragon version or not.

first of all, relax and take a deep breath.
Lollipop for the N910F is NOT gonna work on G since you don't have the correct bootloader and modem.
so i'm sorry, but you'll have to wait for Lollipop release for the G.
and even though the F roms work on G with kitkat...it still needed a different kernel, and that has to come from sources...that samsung has to release...which takes a looooong time
so sure, you can look at spec sheets and see that F is basically the same as G, but it still won't help boot the rom.
sorry :good:
Im interested to see how he went with this...
I wonder if samsung ever reads our feedbacks

Another week no update... I am guessing something is seriously wrong with the update. Australian version Note 4 Edge received the update so i can't think what else would be stopping it. I hope they decide to bump us to 5.1 instead of going gradually...

To everyone in the thread waiting, Sammobile reported yesterday that 910g is getting lollipop in India as of yesterday so the ROM should be up on their firmware section soon hopefully.

+1 Man, its been like half a yr now or more. Something is taking so bloody long. I dont believe the S'Pen function on the Note4 and Lollipop is the culprit hey? Theres no other explanation. Other phones get 5.0. the S5 got it. Note 3 too. WHERE IS it for sm-n910G ???

G800H sources released!

Seems that Samsung finally coughed up the sources for the G800H. Any developers wetting their panties yet (Looking at you, @jackeagle )? And more importantly, does this mean that this device will finally get some custom ROMs going? The S5 Mini wasnt a popular phone, but still an improvement over the S4, so I'm keeping a close eye on this subforum.

i agree don't know why there arnt any rom devs in the s6 edge threads yet great kernel from simplkernel but we need rom devs edge has been just as big a seller as the standard s6 hopefully some will see sense and start making us some roms
Echoerom is in développement but not in xda
Envoyé de mon SM-G925F
Wher is devolpment for Echorom?
BTW..I still wait for next update..I want to be sure that the night clock problem is from software before I root.. so I can easy exchange the phone if it's not the software..Samsung write me that it's a software problem..but who knows..after that..I want to make a Rom ?
Just be patient. I am sure something will come. Many who ordered the phone have to wait for delivery. I waited 3 weeks.
I would say give it a month

S6 Edge SM-G925i, Telcel, México.
Agreed. It's almost a month since release and not even a stable recovery let alone ROMs. Normal S6 launched together yet theres almost a dozen ROMs available.
This is enough to sway me to get a normal S6.
I am optimistic that we will have something sooner or later
we gonna have:echo rom...end extrelight rom the question when i cant wait
Y'all are impatient as ****. If you wanted day 1 ROMs you should have bought a Nexus. Otherwise, Android is open source. Have at it.

New device is new, and new device uses proprietary **** that takes time to learn.
When/If it's month 3 and there are no devs, then this thread should exist.
Also, keep an eye on the S6 forums as well. I suspect that eventually you'll see cross-breeding of ROMs and what not that are simply adapted for use on the Edge's curved display, but of course, the home for such developments wouldn't be in this forum quite yet.
Carotix (CarHDRom) is coming over from Galaxy S4 and is going to be developing roms for your edge. His roms are fantastic. He'll be sorely missed from the s4 forum.

You know you can use those S6 ROMs on your edge right? So we get all those ROMs plus any that are developed solely for our device best of both worlds.

Hi. Is that right? Would I just need to use the 920 equivalent variant?
Eg. I have G925F, so would look for rom compatible with G920F ??

Yes that's what I did!

Will note3 ever get android 6.0 (marshmallow)?

Anyone know if samsung has them planned?
No. This is asked by others many times too. Keep an eye on sammobile, cause if there is any chance of Note 3 getting Marshmallow then chances are high they will be the first to post it. I am just waiting for 5.1.1 anyway. I won't mind if a two year old flagship doesn't get Marshmallow.

CM/AOSP always has a new Android for you ^^ After Samsung takes longer and longer to fix stuff and Stagefright etc on older phones, I went to Temasek's ROM. Works perfectly.
AAND it seems like ppl started to port Note5's ROM to Note 3 too....
