Im' on beta tester 6.0.1beta2 rom (you can find it the flashable here on XDA) and after the instagram bugfixes I have no problemas at all, BUT the battery life is pretty shorter, like on mi official 6.0 LG G4 phone.
So since I can swap the battery on my LG G4 (and pay something like $10 a battery, so I have 2 more genuine ones), I prefer a delay tha tifx that problem on a phone where you can't do that.Google say it's an app problem, and after a few time of usage the new battery saving system should fix the problem.
So, if you already root and broke the knox counter fel free to try the beta, I have a E925F italian, otherwise I don't blame samsung for delaying the release to give us a bugfree version.
LG released MM thand found it buggy and problematic and stopped till a few days ago and trust me, latest version still have the battery problem and I hope LG will release a patch or update to fix that problem.Never had the need to take a second battery with me if I don't plan to take a lot of picture/video and play with multimedia tools, now I must have one in my pocket... :(

Sad to say that everybody knos about the fact tht there is no TWRP for 6.0.1, every time you need TWRP you need to flash 5.1.1 bootloader and twrp with odin, then after you did what you have to do in TWRP you must reflash 6.0.1 boot.img via odin, but you still can do nandroid backup and flash supersu or else.The only problem is that you can't mount on PC and you can't see OTG, so if you need an huge nandroid on a 32GB item you must delete something to have enaught space :(

A little question. Roms such as: CRISSCROSS ROM GOES MARSHMALLOW V1.4 need you to be on Marshmallow (beta) before you can flash the custom crisscross ROM.

But if you are on Marshmallow (beta) there isn't a recovery because MM bootloader won't let you boot into TWRP.

I thought this might be the good way to flash custom rom:

6.0 Beta installed & running
Odin -> Flash 5.1.1 bootloader
Odin -> Flash TWRP (AP)
TWRP -> Flash Crisscross or any other custom MM ROM
TWRP -> Flash Modem
Odin -> Flash 6.0 Bootloader

Can anyone confirm this is the right method? Or explain the right method (A)

lol these descriptions from ManhT are always a fun ...
cmon guys when you flash these rom you got a vodafone branding and lost all your data because of the .pit file flash.
When a "developer" post such a firmware he should also write a usefull manual to install it for "all" users on this board,,,,
When i click through the pages all i see are questions over questions....

i recommend to wait for a official DBT rom file and a proper update.zip file from other developers.
