Samsung publishes kernel source code for Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge
So, you’ve just got your hands on a Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge smartphone and you’re already wondering how you can remove some of the bloatware or maybe even install firmware developed by a third-party such as Cyanogen. Thanks to Samsung publishing the kernel source code for both handsets, this possibility is now a step closer.
The source code for the following models can be found at Samsung’s Open Resource Release Center:
- SM-G920F
- SM-G920K
- SM-G920L
- SM-G920S
- SM-G920t_NA
- SM-G925T_NA
- SM-G925F
- SM-G925K
- SM-G925L
- SM-G925S
Just because the source code has been released doesn’t mean that there will be a wide choice of custom ROMs or mods available right from the word go. The use of the Exynos processor in the Galaxy S6 handsets also means that AOSP development will be a little slower than you might find with handsets using Qualcomm’s offerings. Remember to be patient with the developers, the custom goodies will arrive soon enough.
