Agreed and even the battery life is much better on 6.0.1

Sorry for comment commenting late but it worked on My SAMSUNG Galaxy S7 SM-G930F. Now i'm back on 6.0.1 😀 How However you forgot to mention that on Galaxy S6 edge+ you Will need a custom bootloader. Apart from that. Good video

[@WilliamsTech]

Ah yes I heard that some phones required a custom bootloader, but since I dont have it I can't show it

Thank you sir, I followed every process, but after opening the TWRP and after formatting the phone and installing the custom .img file I cooked, after I tap on reboot my phone was stuck in a boot loop, just turning off and on while showing ''set warranty bit: kernel'' in yellow text at the top left corner, please what should I do and what did I do wrong please answer edit: The model and country location is the same as my device, but the bit/SW Rev value and PDA version (that is G9300ZCU2APL2) is not the same as my phone because the one that's the same as my phone is the latest 8.0 Firmware

[@ahmedshams8807]

You have no idea how happy I am to find this out. I found one custom rom 6.0.1 in xda which actually booted. Does your phone vibration works? My vibration does not work in the rom but it works when I am rebooting or in recovery. Kindly your answer will be appreciated. I will try this out today.

[@WilliamsTech]

So this is the issue, I dont know why it does not work (but I know it’s not broken since rebooting the phone still vibrates and vibrates while offline charging). Seems intresting too why it does not work since we’ve dont customize something hardware related on the ROM

[@ahmedshams8807]

@@WilliamsTech My bootloader version is 2 and we are running Android 6.0.1 is bootloader version 1. Probably the mismatch in bootloader version causing compatibility issues. There was a battery drain on cell standby which I managed to fix today. I cannot explain you how happy I am with this honestly. This was my first expensive android phone and this software is nostalgia. I tried for last 5 years but couldn't do it. Thank you won't be enough for you.

Nah, the thing is because since you installed twrp. The secret knox chip will kick in and wont be able to turn back off. So even restoring to stock, it will stay custom when booting to download mode
