Regardless of which smartphone you choose - Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge, in any case you get the same TouchWiz interface, which this time has become a little simpler and lighter. However, this does not mean that you should not pay attention to custom firmware. On the contrary, third-party Android ROM builds tend to offer better performance and better battery life. And let's be honest, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge are just missing a bigger battery. Enough time has now passed for developers to release stable builds for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge.
Unfortunately, there are still some problems. This is due to the fact that Samsung used its own new Exynos processor in the new flagships, and this is problematic for custom firmware. On the other hand, there are still craftsmen who are not deterred by this, and you are offered several firmware options indicating the model numbers of smartphones on which you can install the assembly.
As always, you should think twice before installing third-party firmware on your smartphone. Always follow the instructions and be careful, because you will have to address all claims in the future only to yourself.
XtreStoLite Deodexed Mod Edition 1.2
Available for SM-G920F / SM-G920I / SM-G920T
The firmware is quite small in size (467 MB) and is a fairly lightweight version of the firmware with TouchWiz for the Galaxy S6. XtreStoLite offers all the most popular TouchWiz features. The assembly is assembled from the stock G920I DVU1AOE3 Lollipop 5.0.2, but the stock “weighs” almost 1.5 GB and does not have all the features, settings, and mod support that XtreStoLite has. There are 5 options in the reboot menu, a new SuperSU and Busybox built into the firmware, the absence of Knox, recording phone calls, numerous interface settings and many other improvements. Moreover, some of the problems with stock firmware have been solved here - the system memory will not overflow and applications will not be forcibly closed.
This firmware has a lot of new features on top of the stock TouchWiz. For example, the assembly received new modem firmware (XXU1AOE3), supports Edge Contacts (which is present in the Galaxy S6 Edge), allows you to change the status bar, adjust the backlight duration, easily switch between user accounts, there are many new settings for the stock launcher, the network speed is indicated in status bar and much more. This build isn't that small compared to the others, but it's worth a look.
AllianceROM
Available for SM-G920F
AllianceROM has several different themes for the user interface, but each user can fully customize the interface and change system settings according to their requirements. Quite an impressive list of additional features, some of which are truly unique, which you will not see in other custom firmware. I will not list them all for brevity, but the most important ones deserve mention - AllianceROM for Galaxy S6 initially gives root rights, the firmware is deodexed with the latest Busybox, init.d, Sqlite scripts are pre-installed, all the stock TouchWiz features remain, Aroma installer for selecting settings firmware that you want to install.
WanamLite has a solid list of features, making the firmware an attractive option for those looking for stock but with improved features. First of all, the firmware has a stock kernel that has been improved, there are root rights and Busybox support. If you're a fan of additional functionality, including phone call recording, an improved camera app, and other user interface improvements, then check out WanamLite.
CarHD ROM v.1
Available for SM-G925F
Although the developers of this firmware also release builds for other models, CarHD ROM for the Galaxy S6 Edge is a real deficiency - the interface here is translucent, although some may not like it. The assembly is based on the latest official firmware (XXU1AODG) and has all the usual attributes of custom firmware - root rights, the latest version of SuperSU, BusyBox. The firmware is suitable for those Galaxy S6 Edge users who do not like the stock firmware.
