Hello guys, I wanted to know if it is possible to mod the logic board with a newer processor or just change it with a galaxy S7 edge logic board. I'm asking this because I found my old S6 edge, and I want to give it a second more powerful life, of course with a custom OS.

Hey guys. Few days ago i received Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge for testing purposes from Samsung Serbia. Sadly, S6 Edge is unable to run any kind of benchmarks, possibly do to being a "test" sample that has protection against leaking information before unveiling. Contacted Samsung and asked if there is something i can do, unfortunately they said they can't resolve the issue and my only option is to wait for retail samples for testing. My question is, is there anything i can do to remove those benchmark restrictions? I can't install any benchmark related app from PlayStore, and even can't run browser benchmarks such as Octane, Peacekeeper, BrowserMark, etc.
The purpose of receiving these phones is for writing a review on a Serbian IT website that i work for, and the benchmarks are semi-important part of my review, and being unable to run them will kinda cripple the testing part for S6 Edge. The regular S6 works fine, those restrictions are not present. Any options/suggestions for S6 Edge? I was thinking of flashing a retail ROM, but that seems unlikely, since there are no stock roms online for S6 Edge yet, and flashing procedure is still unknown. The version of S6 Edge i have is SM-G925F, and the build number is LRX22G.G925FXXM1AOBI. I am open for any tips and advices. Thanks.
Maybe rooting the device might give full access so that you can move the wanted APKs to the /system folder?
Chainfire released it.

Wrong thread
I am using Note 3 LTE for 18 month , it has many active Custom ROM thread.
(Yes I am flashaholic user.)
Now, I am looking to buy new cellphone.
The S6 Edge look very impressive, but I found slow growing in the thread in Development section.
Does it cause by Exynos chip ? or What do you think?
yes true..but since 5.1.1 don't let us deodex and yes more phones are effected from this..we have to wait..for updating the process
hi friends,
i have note4 now. but i want to change a little bit smaller phone and i like the design of s6 edge. i want to buy this phone. are you happy with it? do you suggest?
thanks.
Hey everybody,
how can i have the s6 camera app on my s5 ?
upgrading to a galaxy s6, pretty much. s5 and s6 have different chipsets and clock speeds, so porting would be extremely difficult, if not impossible.
Hi, please i want to know why always on display not working on galaxy s6 edge but works in note 3 rom S7EDGE PORT? Thanks

Always on display feature is first and foremost only for S7 and S7 Edge. If you intend to use it on S6 Edge then obviously it won't work unless you'll use S7 Edge port for S6 Edge. And the reason you are able to use it on your Note 3 is just because you are using S7 Edge Rom Port.

I guess this is exactly what he asked. My understanding of what he wrote is the he IS using the S7 ROM port on S6 Edge but the Always On Display is not working while on the same port on Note 3 it is working. If that's not correct and he is using another ROM on S6 Edge, then you're totally right

Hi, it's exactly what I meant Rapier you're right thank you
On the s7 port for our s6 edge the code to make it work maybe has not been ported correctly. And on the note 3 maybe the dev there made it work i hope I'm not mistaken but the dev here abandoned the s7 port for our device.
Its kernel related, On note 3, galaxy s3 and s5 its working because there was devs working on it, and our s6 seems like no dev is currently interresed in it
It's not about being interested or not, it's about the fact that developent on Exynos is a PITA compared to Qualcomm due to lack off sources and support from Samsung. It was always like this on Exynos and that's why older Galaxy devices have plenty of ROMs and we dont.
So until we'll have this, it's hard to do almost anything.
To come back to the problem in discussion, the ROM is a port...that is taking part of the rom, libs and apps from the S7 and merging them with libs, kernel and drivers from a working S6/S6 edge ROM.
The result is a bootable and most working S7 ROM, but where there is speciffic hardware integration for a certain function to work...we dont have it as it's build in certain libs or in the kernel and we use our own
I hope that this pretty much explains why this and other features are not properly working or even not working at all. We should be glad we have something and hope for more...

An always on display for the s6 edge as the s7 would certainly be a nice addition, it just looks cool along with the functionality of it. I hope we see something in the near future for the s6 edge.
I personally would be more than happy with an always on feature similar to the edge clock & notifications feed (the one turned on when the screen is off with a slide gesture) but instead being
permanently on providing burn in issues were properly addressed.
