Difference between Android 5.1.1 and Android 6.0.1 - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ive trawled the internet and i cant find a page that shows me the actual difference between the two versions of Androi so i dont know whether it is worth upgrading.
Can someone post them for me

Look harder, there are plenty of reviews. Main points:
- different edge screen
- the new doze mode
- the new apps standby mode
- better ram management
- new and improved per app permissions
- some changes to the dnd/silent modes (you can automatically switch to silent while you have a meeting in your calendar)
- design changes in the notification area
And there are others. So yes, it definitely worth upgrading

Hi Guys,
I would like to present you smart stay with functionality similar to S3 Smart Stay. Currently this will be in beta and i am looking for beta tester for this app.
Requirements:
- Own a S2 or other phones with front camera.
- Preferably owning other phones with front camera.
- Willing to report back the status and offer improvements.
Disclaimer:
- I am not responsible for any damage done to your phone, yourself or anyone else. ^^
Usage:
- always keep your camera facing you and stay at least a Distance away for the camera to see you.
FAQ.
what is Smart Stay / Active Stay ?
Smart Stay keeps the screen turned on till the user is viewing it. The front camera uses the eye tracking technology to save the power.
Why is the screen off when i am in front of the phone?
Camera requires a distance to capture your pretty face. Maintain ada distance for it to work properly.
When will you release the beta?
15th june.
Beta Starts: 15th June
Beta END: 29th June
What can i expect at the end of beta?
Both the lite and Pro version will be available.
Will it consume lots of Resources?
Any app runs in background will but so little you wont notice.
BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD THE APP, PLEASE READ:

only heard briefly about this
but "Smart Stay keeps the screen turned on till the user is viewing it." is that correct? means will turn off when i am viewing it?
if not, will it turn on if i get close to it? or still gotta use power button?
AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note Stock Gingerbread
It works perfectly on my galaxy note using stock rom. Only Problem is the SHUTTER SOUND. I tried to turn on the option for shutter sound. It works, but my only concern is it works by changing profile from regular to silent every 8-9 seconds. I wish there was some other kind of fix to it rather than changing profiles.
Anyhow, it is a great app and I love it so far. Great work.

Exactly opposite it keeps the screen on while you are viewing
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Now that I think about it - there are a couple issues with the app.
1.) Called the same as Samsung's. I can see them having an issue with that.
2.) He's going to charge for the premium app - but I'm sure someone can/will port the S3 Smart Stay apk over. So it'll all depend on how much you get with that premium app..
Still a good effort though.
i have a xperia s and it says no frontface camera detected

T.A.R.S. 21S EUI 5.8 USA version for LePro3 X720

Hi all.
Today has release new update for USA version of LePro3, X727. Its 21s version but EUI 5.8 based.
I am presenting you TARS 21s EUI 5.8 USA version for X720.
The official changelog:
Launcher / App Drawer
- Added standard App Drawer feature to access all installed applications.
- Please note: your current App Dock will change slightly due to the App Drawer icon, but you can easily reposition the icons as you wish. The Live application icon now functions as a regular app icon.
Key Guard
- Changed haptic feedback for fingerprint sensor so the device only vibrates once if your fingerprint is not recognized or if other incidental contact occurs.
Camera
- Optimized the Camera HDR algorithm to shorten processing time
Messaging
- Settings: changed “Mass MMS” wording to “Group messaging”.
- Settings: changed default configuration to send a single MMS to all recipients
GMS Apps & Android
- Updated GMS package to 6.0_r11 for increased stability & security.
- Updated Android security patch
LeEco Video Apps (Le & Live)
- Le App: added parental control function, ability to comment on videos, and improvements to streaming quality
- Live App: improved app’s user interface and optimized streaming performance
WiFi and Bluetooth
- Improved the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi download throughput when using a Bluetooth headset for voice calls
General Enhancements & Bug Fixes
- Improved stability of Gallery and Calendar applications
- Improved Messaging app text selection user experience
- Improved NFC stability
- Fixed screen flicker associated with rapid pressing of power button​
Perhaps the more important thing are that now we have an app drawer on stock Launcher, and at last Live app are not always on center of home screen. Now its a individual app and we can deleted it from home screen.
USA version are too many Google apps pre-installed, and I change all this apps to not system apps, and we can uninstall safely. The apps are:
- Chrome
- Google Drive
- Google Duo
- Google Hangouts
- Google Maps
- Play Music
- Play Movie
- Netflix
- Youtube
And we can use DualSIM, of course.

Ill check it this weekend, becasue X720 owners cant use radio files of X727, cause lock bootloader. I think that here is the problem, but this weekend I try fix it.

Thanks for the perfect pure US eui:good:
The ROM is great but just one problem; The LeView page seems to stop loading contents after the very first reboot and It keeps telling "no new content available now"
Also the LIVE app only loads Chinese data for me
I flashed this rom, rebooted, and wont start. went back to recovery, says something about a password for ecryption, skipped it, all lost. cant wipe anythig, remounted partition, wiped ok, and all my internal memory LOST. now i'm copyng a nadroid backup from pc, luckly i did it before, but copy process goes about three times slower than before this apocalypse. what the f u c k happened
---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------
i think now you are the man i mostly hate in the world. i really dont understand what i've done wrong. the thing that most disgust me, is that now internal memory is really slower than before, dunno what the hell happened. maybe filesystem changed somehow? now it is ext4, dunno before. maybe f2fs? why the hell things changed themselves? i cant even copy system_image.emmc.win, cause PC says filesystem does not support it. before this file was on the phone, so filesystem has changed. how do i put things back on his place? i'm not mentioning all internal data loss, doing several mods this things can happen, even if this is first time for me. wtf
Why It says data is encrypted?? Who the hell encrypted It. Thats why It goes slower. Do you know how to decprypt? Ti i have to loose all' data again?

I already formatted in recovery. That program in the screenshot above still says encrypted. I've never encrypted nothing in my life, dunno if that program says the truth, but phone is going 3 times slower than before. Also system is lagging more than before... Also system partition is compromised? Planning to sell it, if it won't return as before. But there must be a away to solve this problem, and I don't understand why all this happened.

Hello, I have a quick question about this rom. What is the difference between this TARS rom and the stock rom? I don't see the changelog in the OP page except official changelog from leeco. Or there is no difference?

There is a new version with 23S from the same Dev out few months ago here:
http://tars-lepro3.blogspot.com.es/2017/02/tars-23s-beta-dev-para-lepro3-x720.html
I tried/flashed a lot of roms, this one is best trust me but your taste might be different but try it out first.
Very smooth, no crash or reboot, battery life is just epic I think. For sound if you want louder use this app "Volume booster Gooddev" from Playstore
Cheers
---------- Post added at 02:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 AM ----------
If you use "Volume booster Goodev" normally set boost 30-40% is enough

I think performance wise experience would be same but Poco will have a development community advantage over Sony, Poco will have many roms, customisation, mods etc etc.. But media consumption , screen quality, camera would be much better on Sony. It's your call, which type of experience you want since you started using Sony recently.
Well I am also buying POCO this sale only because of SD845 and active development community, mine current device is Samsung G S7, I know I am gonna sacrifice on display and looks of the phone but thats okay.

Yeah development community is very big advantage for me with poco.as far as camera is concern my search says it is not big difference between them both(except super slow motion of Sony) . But yeah I like screen and built quality of Sony a lot, what I dislike about Sony beside development is its flash light which is very low.flash light is very important for me. I use it daily 3-4 times in a day. Thanks for your reply p

wow!
usually such questions are easy for me! if someone asks on xda that should he/she be switching from xyz to Poco or not ..
however the involvement of Sony adds ZING to this question!
keeping specs short comings of (storage/ram/screen) of xz2 when compared to Poco f1 ASIDE.............
Remember! Xperias are Apple (iphone) of the Android world! , Sony Xperia Stockrom is fine Tuned with hardware like soul to body, the simple intervace having so much to offer as your make any xperia your daily driver is I must sayd unique Japanese touch!
- you will feel happy on the hardware specs sheet of poco once its in your hands but
- you will MISS sony Xperia Stockrom UI experience big time!
- PocoF1's display with bad viewing angles, is NOTING infront of Sony's Triluminos display backed up with Bravia Engine! ,
- also Xz1 has Stereo speakers and poco f1 don't
-Xz2 is gorilla glass 5 front and back giving premiuim feeling!
- Camera of XZ2 is way better than poco f1
- xperia is more stable and can handle acidental bricking better than many devices
now poco f1 advantages
- cheaper device with SD845 no bumps curves or slippery finish so if you drop it and it breaks! it won't give your heart attack!
- poco f1 is very popular on xda and you will find many roms and kernels on and off Xda!
- rooting poco is piece of cake once boot is unlocked after 72 hours! however Rooting Sony Xperia XZ family is NOT as simple as that! YOu will have to make a deal with devil , once sony sends Unlock Key, and you use that key to boot unlock your XZ2, the Digital Rights Management Keys (DRM keys) in hidden Trim Area (TA) will be Washed/wiped and now many software will support only basic features, like sd card support will be reduced to 64gb / bluetooth 3.0 only/ camera slowmotion and other premium features wont work, fast charging wont work, bravia engine wont work, mega Bass and other sound effects won't work! ... there are long and serious work around and methods to EXTRACT TA partitions before unlocking the bootloader! but whether it works or not! only you can tell by trying these comlicated methods!
- Xz2 is not popular on xda hence i don't think so there are many custom roms or kernels! but then Sony Stockrom is itself is enough
- on custom rom! it never hangs! you can use dozen of social media apps and you will hardly notice any lags!
problems with POCO
- gosh touch issues are constantly bieng reported on various MIUI builds time to time!
- bad viewing angle makes your eyes water when you try to watch movies longer!
- modified vendor image has usb tethering error on 3g which makes system ui crashes and/or random reboots!
- I personaly found 4g connectivity issues many times on miui and or custom rom on various kernels! I am always rebooting or Toggling Airplane mode for poco to register itlef on the nearest tower with fresh ip! , where my Xperia works amazing on both 3g/4g

And which custom rom has these features
Automatic call recording
Button mapping ( button to kill apps, multi windows, switch recent app)
Screen shot in power button
Press and hold power button for torch (while screen is locked
These are the most important things for me please answer. Thanks
Also tell me how many of them can I find in miui?

for MIUI
since MIUI8 , the dial has automatic CALL recording (GSM calls ONLY)
- only Button MIRROR is available in miui ( recent app style is TILES only (not oreo Stack)
- swip three fingers down has screen shot gesture, ( I don't thinks so power button has such thing )
- pressing power button twice may trigger torch (you can set this guesture from miui gestures) (since miui 5)
about custom roms,
- call recorder is embeded in most of them (gsm only)
- button mapping is also available but not in every rom! you should try RR however navbar can be tweaked in nearly all roms! (havoc, crdroid, RR are the best)
- hardware keys can be configured on deep level! power menu can have many or few options as per your configuration
- you can configure torch on power button toggle (i am on havoc)
H-O-W-E-V-E-R
since you said its your FIRST expeirence with MIUI, I don't want to be a bummer or wana scare you off from poco! but........ since you are my type of person who give importance to certain types of customizations then I am affraid you will NOT like Miui very much!
why ???
- MIUI (atleast on poco) have no KEYBOARD switch key in navbar, if you have two or more keyboards installed (gboard and/or swiftkey) everytime you will have to swipe down the notification find SELECT INPUT METHOD to change /toggle between keyboards! where on stock android and in all custom roms (LOS based or CAF based) have this feature appears in either LEFT or RIGHT (or both) sides of navigation bar (you can customize)
- miui navbar stays WHITE most of the times and for me its annoying!
- miui recent screen has tiles method which is very annoying for me!
- you cannot disable any bloatware! you must ROOT your device and have third part app to do that!
-poco has modified vendor image ( i am gonna avoid details here) , so the impact is you must ditch MIUI kernel for poco and have custom kernel like FRANCO/ Twisted / OD / sphinx etc and use kernel manager app if you wana BOOST sound/volumes etc
- poco screen is unlike sony so i use custom kernel for KCAL to enrich vibrance
- notification method on miui is strange! , i noticed it puts LATEST msg from any one in the BOTTOM of that tile, for example if you recieve 3 msgs from 3 users on whatsapp apart few seconds each, stock android puts latest on top within WHATSSAPP tile, howeve miui puts it on bottom, so kept reading obsolete notification lines unless i became annoyed! , same case should be with emails too ( I don't remember that)
- miui has limited quick setting icons! i wanted to add toggle 3g/4g and usb tethering on Quick Setting Panel but i had to do that from netwrok settings always!
- due to modified vendor image, all custom roms have this BUG where if you tether 3g , the System ui craches or many com.android.phone starts crashing! so try to avoid usb tethering on 3g network!
nvm ... didnt c the previous comments
cheers!

for MIUI
since MIUI8 , the dial has automatic CALL recording (GSM calls ONLY)
- only Button MIRROR is available in miui ( recent app style is TILES only (not oreo Stack)
- swip three fingers down has screen shot gesture, ( I don't thinks so power button has such thing )
- pressing power button twice may trigger torch (you can set this guesture from miui gestures) (since miui 5)
about custom roms,
- call recorder is embeded in most of them (gsm only)
- button mapping is also available but not in every rom! you should try RR however navbar can be tweaked in nearly all roms! (havoc, crdroid, RR are the best)
- hardware keys can be configured on deep level! power menu can have many or few options as per your configuration

Wow wow wow :good:
Thanks for giving me your precious time and so much detailed answer
such a great pleasure to read your post.
This is also one of the reason why I prefer poco over Sony (community support)
After reading your post I think I should try miui first before installing any custom rom. Obviously I would root it first
Thanks again

Question Android 12 - Indian 2101 version , OnePlus Nord 2

Hey , did anyone install Android 12 (beta) for OnePlus Nord 2 given from "Oxygen Updater" apk ? It can be download full zip package and kudos for that the rollback Android 11 zip package (A19 vs) only for Indian version .
Name is OOS12 Open Beta 1 , not suitable for Pac-Man Edition .
Nope. I have the EU version Nord 2 and so I'm not going to mess with it. But I would have downloaded it in a hearbeat had they released it for the EU model.
Ok , me as well .
But here are some features we can expect :
OOS12 Open Beta 1 changelog (Nord 2)​
System
Newly added Smart Battery Engine, a feature that prolongs battery life based on smart algorithms and biomimetic self-restoration technology
Optimized AI System Booster to 2.1 for your system to run smoothly even when the load is high
Optimized desktop icons with improved textures, by using a design inspired by brand-new materials and uniting lights and layers
Optimized Extra HD, a feature that can significantly enhance image and video resolutions
Dark mode
Dark mode now supports three adjustable levels, bringing a more personalized and comfortable user experience
Shelf
New additional style options for Cards, making data contents more visual and easier to read
Newly added access to OnePlus Scout in Shelf, allowing you to search multiple contents on your phone, including Apps, Settings, Media Data, etc
Newly added OnePlus Watch Card in Shelf, to easily glance at your health status
Work-Life Balance
Work-Life Balance feature is now available to all users, allowing you to effortlessly switch between Work and Life mode via quick settings
WLB 2.0 now supports automatic Work/Life mode switching, based on specific locations, Wi-Fi network, and time, also bringing customized App notification profiles according to the personalization
Gallery
Gallery now allows you to switch between different layouts with a two-finger pinch gesture, intelligently recognizing the best-quality pictures, and cropping the thumbnail based on the content, making the gallery layout more pleasing
Canvas AOD
Canvas AOD brings you new diverse styles of lines and colors, for a more personalized lock screen experience with inspiring visuals
Optimized software algorithm and improved face recognition to better identify the features and skin color of different figures
Games
Newly added the HyperBoost end-to-end frame rate stabilizer
There are also known issues in this build, which we have reproduced below for your convenience:
You might be unable to use Face Unlock in the dark after turning on Brighten screen in dim light through Settings.
Fortnite will crash when playing the game.
Additionally, OnePlus warns that "some features of the Pac-Man edition may disappear after upgrading this build", so you shouldn't install this beta if you own a Pac-Man edition Nord 2.
Although you may be hyped by OxygenOS 12 now being available for your device, do remember that this is beta software (as proven by known issues list) and that as such, you accept any risks by installing this update. Furthermore, you're expected to report bugs to OnePlus directly via community app. Do also mind that switching back to stable OxygenOS 11 at any point will require a full data wipe, so don't get excited and jump into OB1 without considering all its pros and cons.
The Nord 2 was released only in EU & India. Note that there's no link for EU yet. If you don't want to wait, you can crossflash to India from the app itself (just select the "India" device). However, we advise patience. We will update this article if OnePlus posts links for EU.
So another piece of **** software upgrade with general Android 12 additions. What a huge disappointment. They probably have the Indian version first because they've hired 1 Indian to make it compatible. As soon as I get a quiet moment, I'll probably custom ROM it and swap it out for a different brand before I install the beta garbage.
"There are also known issues in this build, which we have reproduced below for your convenience", For our convenience... great laughs were had.
Does anybody here have any hope at all for this phone in the coming future? Especially because the Nord 3 is already spotted **shakes my head**

Question Sam Tab A7 Lite LTE, any working solution to laggyness

Hi Members
I purchased a Tab A7 Lite, didn't realise just how much lag this tablet suffers.
I did removed unnecessary apps, and did the ADB mod process to turn Ram plus off.
I haven't removed any Bixby or Sam's Free apps Vis ADB
Is their a magic bullet to resolve the laggy, stutter? it's most noticeable when swiping through the OS or One UI launcher on the device.
Has anyone found a solution maybe a lighter Launcher or custom ROM for the A7 Lite.
Failing any solutions, maybe a member knows of an 8 inch Android tablet that has good performance for £200 to £300.
Help is appreciated from members.
Regards

Try turning on Reduce transparency and blur in Visual Enhancement
One more thing ...
I found if we go to settings > display > screen zoom and increase the zoom level, it will make this tablet more smooth.
I feel it is acceptable. But I will try to install some custom rooms soon.
I am using A12.
Thanks you to both members, I've done as you have advised, I'll see if there's a marked noticeable improvement over all, and post back if it's a positive improvement to my A7 Lite's performance.
I'll keep my eye on the A7 Lite's forum posts, as custom ROM's start to get created and installed.
Regards to you both
Just one quick mention, I also turn on the 'Reduce Animation effects' switch in Visual Enhancements, I think that's also help...
Normally it's inadvisable to clear RAM on Android devices but clearing RAM worked for me on this device. Every so often when I encountered stutter after turning off RAMPlus I had to clear the RAM. Eventually the system adjusted to having a smaller RAM space and I no longer had to do this.
Degoogle tab mostly and samsung bloatware including account.
Try A7cleanup.sh for easy setup
If the device is unlocked and rooted SM-T220 wifi only and using Android 12 stock or gsi customAP based on a12 try this kernel I have compiled for mine :
* Features :
- Android 12 Only Supported.
- Permissive kernel.
(ViperFx sound mod can be installed)
- Wireguard Enabled.
- DragonRise Generic Gamepad Enabled.
- Hard Optimized Compiler Cflags Used.
- Audit and Dynamic debuging disabled via kernel command line.
- Used Recent Toolchain.
( clang 14 + gnu binutils 2.40 )
How to install :
Install Smartpack Kernel Manager And Backup current running kernel
Then flash the boot img attached .
Share your results.
I'm sharing it because my device works much better reduced lags and much more but here is the disclaimer I'm not responsible for any bricked device .
