How to Install Ported S8 Plus ROM on Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and Note 5
If you are looking for a way to upgrade your Galaxy S6 Edge Plus or Note 5 to the latest Android version and enjoy the features of the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus, then you are in luck. There is a ported S8 Plus ROM that you can install on your device and get the best of both worlds.
A ported ROM is a custom firmware that is based on the official software of another device. In this case, the ported S8 Plus ROM is based on the stock firmware of the Galaxy S8 Plus, but it has been modified to work on the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and Note 5. This means that you can have the same user interface, apps, features and performance of the S8 Plus on your older device.

However, installing a ported ROM is not as simple as downloading an app from the Play Store. You need to have some technical knowledge and follow some steps carefully. You also need to understand that there are some risks involved, such as voiding your warranty, losing your data or bricking your device. Therefore, you should only proceed if you know what you are doing and at your own responsibility.
Requirements
Before you start, make sure that you have the following requirements:
A Galaxy S6 Edge Plus or Note 5 with an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery installed. You can use TWRP or any other compatible recovery.
A computer with a USB cable and the latest Samsung USB drivers installed.
A backup of your important data, such as contacts, messages, photos, etc. Installing a ported ROM will wipe your device completely.
A fully charged battery or at least 50% of battery life.
