Hello guys so I already posted about this and didn't find anyone who was willing to port the rom to i9500..
It was already released on i9506 development section
It is called:
[ROM-6.0.1][DarkWolf_FW][Galaxy S7 Edge Port][V2]
If it was ported to i9506 then it can be ported to i9500
So I am waiting for anyone who is willing to help i9500
Because there is not any tw based mm Rom for i9500
Thanks in advance.and I hope there are people who want to help ?????
The GT-I9506 is closer to the S7 than the GT-I9500, that's why it has ports.
GT-I9506 Snapdragon 800 chip, S7 Snapdragon 820 chip.
They are in the same ball park.
The GT-I9500 is Exynos based.
There also is a Exynos based S7 model, but the GT-I9500 and S7 are too far apart to make porting it easy, I guess.
Don't you think somebody would have ported the S7 ROMs to the GT-I9505 and GT-I9500 if it were possible?
i dnt think thats the issue
the main issue which the developers tell us is that the s7 framework and system cant be ported because there is no mm rom provided by samsung for our device
however there was no rom for i9506 as well but it still got ported

I heard that a S5 stock MM firmware has successfully been ported to i9506 so why it's possible to fully port S7 frameworks and system using the ported MM firmware from S5.
I think there's a developer in i9500 who is working on porting S7 apps and frameworks for this device. But I don't sure that everything is 100 percent ported, though.

The issue is that Exynos is not developer friendly, and there are few developers left working on the I9500 in this forum. They've either given up completely out of frustration or have moved on to more developer-friendly devices.

Yep, it's one of the reason. But, that makes it worse, that most i9500 users are spamming most threads with posts like waiting or similar or ETA asking when a dev announced that he would release a new update. Thus, caused the dev canceled the update, ask moderators to close the thread, and leave the development.

But a friend of mine said if it was ported to an s4 then it can be ported to all s4 variants and it's hard but still possible?
Also no one tried overwriting over aosp
Guys it's possible yet no one even tries. that's what makes me sad
Porting Android 6.x to Exynos is more complicated than your friend probably realizes. The binaries need to be built specifically for Exynos. This is a problem because the sources for the Exynos processor are incomplete. Without all the source code, you're not building anything for Exynos except stock-based ROMs.
Building for Qualcomm is far easier. They provide all their sources, and there are Android 6.x ROMS available, whether Cyanogenmod-based or AOSP-based. They also tend to work better than Exynos because of this.
But there is android 6.0 for i9500,whether cm 13 or aosp. Both do exist for i9500. so why not port the apps and the tw not specifically the entire rom
Also there is an exynos version of the s6 and s7.
Also it will be possible to port the s6 mm exynos update to s4..

S4 has many variants, different models, and different SoCs. And, it's nearly impossible to port from devices with different SoCs...

GearCM 13.0 needs more than 6 months to get itself to stable version, with kernel rework and it's hard without complete codes, man.

Porting ROMs are harder than maintaining a CM-based ROM, man. Even the best TW developer on i9500 is unable to port MM to i9500 because it needs MM bootloader, which can't be ported easily.

Can please any developer from various developers in the i9500 and i9505 section provide us the owners of the i9506 with some custom roms and custom recoveries?
We deserve some attention too ?

I am no developer, but i will wait for that with you, too. Did you root your i9506?:fingers-crossed:
It's kinda hard, there is very few people who have i9506, most dev already have 9500 or 9505 on their hands, people don't have it yet are probably just go to s5, so i9506 is in the middle of very embarrassing position.
So I decided exchange my i9506 to i9505...

Yeah... I got my i9506 in the end of January, and until last time I check 9506 section , there is just semi-working CM11 on E330 variants ...
it is really simple, most developers post custom roms without trying them out themselves... we can have beta testers who are willing to test, i can do that but im not in much in develpment so i will not know how to report bugs unless they are really noticable. but i can test custom roms like omega, pheonix, etc for our device.

The latest built of Samsungs Official Update called NG8 don't support towelroot anymore. No one knows why. Maybe some changes in the Kernel.
I would buy a 9505 or when it's possible for you a 9506, there is less support on XDA, that's right, but you got an Snapdragon 800 and the faster LTE, so really close to the Galaxy S5.
So if you don't want to flash thousands of custom ROM, this will be your best choice.

Well this is because Samsung patched the loophole that was being exploited by geohot.
They knew about the loophole as stated by them.on www.samsungknox.com and they clearly stated that Knox 2.0 shall stop that exploit.
They did it.
That is why NG8, the latest official firmware, has knox 2.0 and does not support towelroot anymore.

Alright, So I did some lurking and can see that the consensus is that Cyanogenmod cannot be installed on the Verizon Galaxy S5... some people say it can on the developer model... others don't agree.
I am trying to figure out why there are still nightlies being released on the Cyanogenmod website for the Verizon model of the Galaxy S5.
kltevzw - At any rate, this is a point of confusion for me. Can I get some explanation for this? It does appear possible to do it based on this evidence.
And what would be a good alternative.... if there is one... to cyanogenonmod for a Verizon Galaxy S5.
Sorry if this comes across as beating a dead horse. I'm just looking for some answers.

It's for the developer edition. That's why the nightlies continue to be released. You cannot flash them or any AOSP based ROMs on the retail version.

Hello,
I was just wondering if someone could help me with regards to rooting my S7 Edge? I have just returned to Samsung after being with the Nexus 6p for a year (Google screwed over the nexus users with the pixel - hence my return to Samsung)
I tried to root earlier but got a bootloader exception error - it appears Samsung devices aren't as easy to root as they were in yesteryear! Could someone tell me how i go about rooting, flashing TWRP and possibly flashing a custom rom? I would research but all the threads i come across are for the Exynos variant of the S7 Edge. For the record, i have the UK Snapdragon version - SM-G935F.
Any help would be massively helpful.
Best Regards,
Speedy!:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Hi,
The 935F is actually the Exynos variant, download CPU-Z to check it. So, following any Exynos tutorial would be of good use for you .

Hi,
That's the problem, he says his device is SM-935F, however that device has an Exynos processor. Either he confused the processor in his device or he said the wrong model version.

Hi,
Since the Snapdragon version is limited to the US market (mostly under carriers) and the Chinese market I believe there are more custom ROM, kernels, etc in the Exynos model. However that's not to say the development is huge, since the Exynos processor has a very bad documentation and source code releasing.
You can check the development and general threads for more information on rooting and customizing your experience .
Happy flashing,
~Lord

I can see in your signature you have the G935F, that's the exynos version, but just check cpuz to be sure, if yes that's the best version anyways Bootloader unlock is available to exynos but not snapdragon, there are a lot of custom roms and even kernels, but don't expect CM or any CM/AOSP Based rom, sadly, since it's exynos, you will only find Touchwiz based roms

HI, i would like to know if anyone of u guys can post the link of rooting the galaxy s7edge exynos version.
Thanks.
I tried all kinds of searches to avoid having to post this question and looking like a newb. Coming from the LG G3 ls990 where the variant was cut & dry, I'm having a hard time distinguishing between devices. Before my LG, I had a Galaxy s3, and it had a very clear model number too. Now I have the Sprint g935p, and I want to be sure I'm following development on my model. I can't understand why there would be discussions in the Sprint forum with different device names (g935u & g935p). How could that be?
Is it only the g935p that I should be fixed on for root methods and rom development? I've avoided rooting this thing for 3 whole weeks, but the ads and other annoyances are getting to me. I think if I do root it, I won't be greatly interested in flashing anything for a while. There don't appear to be too many options right now, anyway.
Thanks in advance.
935U is universal software for all galaxy S7Es, regardless of carrier or version.

Thanks. That makes sense. I remember the s3 had rom development that worked across all s3 variants. We never had this with the LG G3. Development had to be for, or include, the ls990 specifically. And there was only one ls990. No variations of it.

I'm not sure how you thought I might be a developer by the questions I asked. I'm the furthest thing from a developer. Were you being sarcastic? My head is still spinning by all the variants of the Edge. I come from the G3 that had separate development for each variant, and there was only one for Sprint that you followed. You just rooted, flashed twrp, and stuck to development for the ls990, all from your device.
Even with my Galaxy s3, I just rooted with towelroot and flashed everything from recovery. I guess Knox changed the game since then.

Nope. One year out from launch, and still rooting and flashing seems a mess. This so easy on my LG G3 only 4 months from its release.
