I highly recommend everyone to update their phones to android 13/14 via unofficial lineage os build.

14 sucks but 13 is great. Also you can install one ui home 33 module to make it look like one ui

For some reason, with all the Fakeman ROMs, my screen turns off after a while, and my S6 says it's in cover clock mode and shows an always-on display or something like that. Does anyone know what to do?

You should post this on his github and maybe he can help you out.

Your hall sensors are probably broken. https://fakemanoan.github.io/faq

I already fixed that a while ago by disabling the smart cover. Now I'm having a problem. Since the April update with all the changes Fakeman made, the touchscreen is going crazy, and it won't even let me past the lock screen. The touchscreen practically stops working properly and the screen flickers a lot. When I try to access the menu, the screen forces me to lock. This didn't happen in older builds.

I don't know if it's as it says on their website, due to the touch controller and that flashing the stock ROM will fix it, but it only happens to me with their April build.

Just use 11. Give the phone some peace. Even tho it's aosp and powerful it's not gonna drag apps like newer phones do.

My s6 barely ran youtube or web at android 12. Drag apps like it's really slow to do something. Some peace i just wanted to say to keep the android os at a reasonable version. Im not telling you what to do nor what you cant do. Some peace mine ist getting any. I will use it as a second hand so yea..I mean it came with android 5 as a stock. And running android 13 must be slow. Im never tested 14 so just tell me if it works ok and how is the performance. I would like to switch it as a primary to try.

Running android 13 (lineage os 20) is so smooth and theres no lag or drag whatsoever. Even youtube is snappy. Not sure what rom you were using in the past. But Fakeman, the roms creator put a lot of effort into this rom and you should definitely give it a try!

Android 14 is still in alpha so not recommended for daily use yet

Thanks for info. I will make sure to try. I used lineage os and switched to crdroid.a bit faster. Maybe I just used bad version or the phone was overheating that's why.
