I'm going to root my S6 for the first time. I've seen post where people recommend using unikernel version 8 when people have issues. Should I use version 8 or version 9 for a first time root?
Thanks

I have been running V9 for months and have not had a problem with lockups. But then I don't use my phone the way that some people do.
V8 is lock up free (I believe) but the battery life is not as good. (Again, I debloat and run Greenify and WakeLock Detect, so battery life has always been good for me.)
I would suggest starting with V9 (also see note below) and if you have issues, flash V8 in TWRP and clear both caches. Very easy to switch kernels.
NOTE: You can also use the Systemless Root, which leaves you at the stock kernel with Root. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...systemless-root-supersu-v2-64-custom-t3277353

@Sunderwear
Thanks for keeping us N910A users updated with the latest in stock roms. I figure it's a longshot but worth asking, would it be possible to get the older KitKat firmware N910AUCU1BNK3 aka NK3?

Yes, exactly. There is a performance issue with the Gear VR and Lollipop and NK3 is required for the Gear VR, it won't work with N910AUCU1ANIE. That would be excellent if you could.

Also looking for flashable N910AUCU1BNK3. After downgraded from Lollipop to KitKat, I can't use my GearVR. OTA check says I'm up to date. (Can only check once every 24 hours)

I've been also trying to find one but can't find it anywhere. All the 4.4.4's uploaded are NIE. Checking OTA skips NK3 and goes right through lollipop. I've been wanting to use my GearVR too :crying:

@Sunderwear said they were looking into it, but unless they're able to select which update they take with their methods of obtaining these tar files I'm not very hopeful they'll be able to get it.

Hello,
I just got this phone recently from Sprint, and rooted it, but I don't like all the samsung garbage and the sprint logo when I boot up along with the sound.
Is there a fully stable replacement without all the prepackaged garbage that I can install? It seems difficult to find anything current for the SM-G920P. I'm currently running Android 5.1.1 on it.
I just got my s6 a week ago,i finally rooted it last night and just debloated it myself with root explorer.http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...ainfire-autoroot-stock-custom-kernel-t3294308. This is what i followed. Oh iam on boost mobile.

I would recommend the TeamSPR Rom. It's nicely debloated for you already.

Right, but according to this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/development/rom-teamspr-rom-v1-t3310425
They are still one version prior to OL1. Is there an OL1 version?

Hey everyone. currently uploading the latest Odin package fresh off Samsung's kitchen
N920AUCU2APB2
That is the build number. It is the same as Verizon's note 5 MM update.
I do not have the ATT note 5 to test this on so when the file is uploaded I will need someone to confirm for me. Thanks!

That's confusing,how can it have a mm build # and be 5.1.1 ?
have a look.
the MM beta is N920AUCU2BPB2, this is N920AUCU2APB2. coincidentally, N920AUCU2APB2 is the version all these various root methods are based on.
so, is this maybe an unreleased update from ATT? I can't really see any differences, and the phone works fine. I'm almost tempted to try one of those root files, but frankly I'm a little tired of wiping my phone when it gets buggy like chimera did to it.
That's the purpose and the fun of testing

I've tested those root files posted here in 5.1.1. None of them work. I flashed back the stock boot image and my N920A is still working fine. But I don't want to flash this MM Odin files because I don't want to loose everything that I have downladed. I know I can backup first, and I already did, but I prefer to wait for the official MM upgrade from AT&T.

Hey guys, im a sad owner of a J500FN because it doesnt have 6.0 update So im stuck with 5.1.1, but how can i change the launcher icons to the nice round icons, because i really like them? And flash successfuly with odin after that
At the Theme Store, you may choose a theme that has these icons. For instance there is the TouchWiz 6.0 by Kendi or the Note_5 theme with rounded icons. Sad J500FN owner here as well.

Why don't you guys just flash 6.0 using odin?

There's a lot of problems when it comes to 5.1 and 6.0.1, and you are being worried about fonts?
Just root, it is 5 minute work and you can solve poor battery life, bloat and much more
