Searching for a lightweight Custom ROM - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have currently a rooted Android 7.0 Samsung Galxy S6 Edge and I would like to get rid of bloatware, but I'm not an experienced user regarding Android and installed apks (i.e. what apk has what function). I know how to delete the system apks but there are so much apks I might or might not delete so a lightweight ROM would be nice.
Unfortunately all famous ROMs don't support S6...I'm not sure if it's deciding.
Can someone suggest a lightweight rom, preferably for Android 7. Don't have to be an official ROM...a stock rom with rid of blotware would be ok too
Thanks in advance

i use all custom rom but the perfect rom is

Cyanogen 4.0.3 Samsumg Apps

I have flashed cyanogen mod 9 on my sgs2. I love the rom. I know it's a weird question, but does anyone know where or how to install both samsung app store and samsung music hub? Are the apk's available from anywhere?
You can't on cm9, install the samsung ics rom if you want samsung apps.
Thank you for the info. Sacrificing those two things is well worth having cm9. I was thinking it was as simple as installing the apks - I assume it needs samsung framework to run

[Q] install stock memo apk on custom rom

Hi all
I have a GS2 had stock operator ROM (Cellcom Israel 4.0.3)
backed up free titanium
installed pilotx JB rom and dual boot thin touchwiz JB
wanted to restore the stock memo app onto PilotX
titanium freezes when doing so
when I find the apk file, and click it tells me not installed
have tried to put the apk (including a deodexed version i found somewhere on XDA) into system/app (and data/app)
and reboot - all to no avail.
note that on my dual boot to thin touchwiz JB i CAN restore the memo app from titanium.
is this because this rom includes TW 5 - I think I read somewhere stock samsung apps require TW (??)
So is there a way to get the stock memo app onto pilot X?
is there a way to find a TW5 apk to put onto pilotX in hopes that after that I could restore the memo app?
(yes I have tried numerous memo apps from market, don't know why but I like stock samsung one best!)
thanks in advance for advice!

you can only use those original samsung softwares on touchwiz based ROMs (meaning in fact custom roms based on stocks = "sammy roms")
so it's not possible to use them on aosp or aokp based roms if the touchwiz framework is not incorporated...and normally it's not because exactly the usage of easy theming and independence from samsung is the source of those roms.
So i don't know what pilotX rom is based on, but if not based on sammy it will probably not work

Huh... you want a rom built by samsung but that has absolutly nothing samsung made in it? Not sure how's that even possible
There's only 2 ways to go, from what i understand:
- for absolutly nothing related with samsung your best bet is any rom compiled (and modded) from google sources like CM10, aokp, slimbean, etc
or
- any samsung based rom with those aroma setups that allow for the removal of just about anything before installing. In this sense you'll be good with just about any rom you pick since all seem to have it But you'll still have samsung stuff in it since they built it, not sure if there's how to go round that

[Q] Looking for a custom rom with stock S5 apps

I'm looking for a simple custom rom that's similar to AOSP or AOKP, but also includes some stock s5 features and certain Tmobile apps. There appear to be many custom roms, and I don't want to try them all. I'd like it to be as stock as possible, with maybe just a few tweaks, because I do have a concern for glitches and such. Does anyone know of a custom rom like Im asking about, or is there a way to get some of my stock Samsung and Tmobile apps onto a rom of my choice. I appreciate your time.
Any of the current roms will be fine for you. Or you could go with XtreStoLite G900T
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2800402
u can install any custom rom then from there install any samsung and tmobile u like, im using XtreStoLite G900T with most of Samsung app installed and it running great for me.
Thanks, this is actually really close to what I'm looking for. Any more reccomendations are appreciated though.

Deodexed rom Tab E

Does anybody has a deodexed rom of SM-T560? I find it really hard to deodex. I tried all tutorials.
I am running a deodexed 4.4.4 custom ROM based on the Russian a0k1 kernel.
Using nova launcher as the main browser and a lot of the Samsung preinstalled crap removed.
tell me how to extract it from my t560 and I'll wing you a link.
I'm still new to this android game, but I've semi customised it's ROM, installed twrp on it and as rooted working in harmony with link2sd, everything almost is runnable from SD without all that partition madness
It's got all the Samsung bloatware removed and a paired down set of Gapps, all of which are at latest update level.
