[elliwigy]

ESL

Extreme Syndicate Lollipop

Warning: This ROM has just about everything from Samsung removed! It only has a few Google apps and the rest you can download from the play store. So if you like Samsung and all the bloat, then this ROM is not for you!

Shout Outs:
@scrosler - Updater Script and other help!
@Chainfire - Root, SuperSU, Flashfire etc.!
@Gunthermic - Nothing special, great guy and willing to help!
@trailblazer101 - His many mods, alliance framework port and all the help he's given me on other items!
-Those over at Viper for V4A
@idler1984 - Ping Pong Root

Features:
-OE2 Base
-Extremely Debloated (around 550mb in size)
-Rooted + Busybox
-Zipaligned
-Deodexed
-V4A
-Samsung Gallery, phone, and contacts are intact to keep setting lockscreen wallpaper from gallery and HD calling
-Android L Sounds
-Android L Boot Animation
-Google Keyboard with Number ROW
-Google Messenger
-Google Clock
-Google Calendar
-Google Calculator
-AOSP Music Player
-2 Launcher Options (TW Launcher is gone)
-Flashfire Preinstalled
-Improved RAM Management Fix
-VZW VVM (needed to receive voicemails)
-Removed boot audio
-Removed CD Installer
-Maybe more?

Note: I separated this ROM from my original ROM. The original Extreme Syndicate ROM is stock touchwiz as well as stock touchwiz with Alliance Framework... This ROM is the L version and I am trying to take it in a more AOSP look and feel and did not want the two being mixed up!

Downloading to try now. Really like the idea of a more Google oriented rom.

Not as smooth as the first release. Maybe I still have to let it bake in.

Elliwigy,

I saw you posted in the VZW S6 version of your rom that we could try this out for the S6. Is that true.

Hi,
Thank you very much, I was about to return my phone because I couldn't deal with the RAM management issue any longer but this ROM seems to have solved it. The ROM is working great. But i have a request for the home button functions. How can I get the double click to launch camera and long press to activate Google now?

home2shortcut for camera.. unfortunately those are typically sammy features and i have removed sammy setup wizard which is needed for that..

so essentially you need the sammy wizard there on first boot or else it wont work.. you can try to manually add it back in the rom.zip then flash it but there most likely is other sammy crap it calls on and if something is missing it wont let you past that initial boot screen so for ease of booting up i removed it instead of adding in all samny crap..

if its a must for you unfortunately id have to say you need to run extreme syndicate v8 since this rom is going in the opposite direction

Yup, I'm using it on my normal s6 right now. Its nice having the people L's edge feature and this ROM is really extremely light. Feels more responsive than other Roms I've tried but make sure you don't mind missing out on any of the Samsung stuff as its almost all removed.

This ROM is so smooth. Very smart to swap out the Google now launcher for apex launcher and launcher 3. Never has my phone operated so smoothly

One issue I have just found is with WiFi. Can anyone try and confirm this. When I turn WiFi off then back on I have to reenter my password. Same happens when restarting phone. It doesn't seem to remember the WiFi networks

After using this ROM for 12+ hours I am having a major issue. I flashed the ROM a second time and the issue still exists. The phone runs very smoothly for about 20-30 minutes after a restart. Then if I switch between 3-4 apps, the phone completely freezes for 2-3 minutes. If I continue to clear recent apps, then the freezing happens less often. Anyone else having this issue? Another thing I would appreciate if someone can check is if they can make video or voice call using Google hangouts. I keep getting the error that it stopped working. Thanks.

hangouts issue is hit or miss on most debloated roms.. me and other devs for other variants have been unable to find the culprit.

i havent had my phone freeze once lol ive at times had multiple apps open 8+ i switch between with no lag or freezes.

I am also having freezing issues. My phone has frozen 3 times now and it has completely shutdown and turned itself off twice now. This can't be fixed with a normal power on or reboot. You have to press all 4 buttons and hold for 10 seconds and have it go to the recovery screen. From there you can reboot.

I've never had issues like this on this phone prior to installing this. I love the ROM but hopefully this doesn't continue.

Those issues sound very bizzarre; out of the ordinary.
The only issue I have had since installing the ROM is the app 'Inbox by Gmail' will not detect an internet connection
