I have the Note Edge through Verizon, and I have seen numerous ads for the S6 and S6 Edge coming out. Just wondering why the Note Edge seems to be non existent. There seems to be no love for this amazing device that started it all.
Because people are stupid, preferring a shiny, blingy, phone without expandable storage or a removable battery to the more functional Note Edge.

Because Samsung never advertised the Note Edge. They stuck all their eggs in one basic with the Note 4.
That's too bad. Hopefully when people get their hands on the S6 edge, they'll realize that there's also a note edge out there.

not pleased Sammy
To be honest, I am disturbed and disappointed by Samsung's disowning of the edge. No advertising, limited good accessories, lack of developer support - from third party players AND samsung. I have never bought a premium phone that was supported as little as this. I have honestly stopped coming to this forum because there has been nothing of significance happening. No ROMS, no panels, no accessories. Ok, its not NOTHING but it is beyond scarce. I think the edge is one of the most innovative and best phones I ever owned. I get it, we were test dummies for the s6 edge. If there is no removable battery and sd card in the edge 2 I will switch to another phone maker come the fall.

The biggest problem is not marketing, it's simply because we don't have root. We could do amazing things if we had for root

You are so right. I also believe that they dropped the ball on marketing. I feel like we edge owners were the guinea pigs

Some carriers have root. Lack of marketing is the main cause this phone never took off like it should have.

so is T-Mobile which is the variant i own. there is basically 2 roms, and one of them has been abandoned since mid December. If you are looking for development this is not the device to get, i think because it was released after the Note 4, without a concrete release date, and the talk of limited availability that a lot of buyers/developers went with the Note 4 instead. i am personally going to switch to the Note 4 soon, and wait and see what the Note edge 2 and Note 5 develops into.
would be nice with with a note 4 rom, nobody porting those here?
i am wondering if i should take edge or note 4... little scary with lack of support tho... dont have time to play so much with the roms lately...
Perhaps this is a REALLY stupid question, but are S6 edge roms compatible with the S6 Edge plus? I just got the edge plus and was bummed to see no development really for it. I'm thinking about taking it back now.
Thanks
It isn't compatible.S6E+ have different hardware(display,something more maybe) and S6E roms exclude drivers for it.
Well it's really too soon for developement, the phone is very new. Give it some time
So I Heard The S7 Edge Battery Is Better then the s7? Witch yall think is better. Not counting the bigger screen of the 7Edge and battery. .

XDA already has a forum set up for discussions around the S7. Search and you will find it.

But this is, if I'm not mistaken, discussion on whether or not to upgrade from the s5 to the s7, which I think is a good thread to have.
My opinion on the matter, I'm going to the s6 for financial reasons. I mainly want carrier aggregation. Plus the s6 is good enough. Especially since I buy through third party sellers.

If you're comfortable with the width of the Galaxy S5, the Galaxy S7 Edge is the same width.
I'm getting the Galaxy S7 Edge because of that. I get more screen for the size of device I am comfortable with.
I did try it out at Best Buy. I don't notice distortion when watching videos in widescreen mode, and the glare is a lot less than the S6. They let the screen go more to the edge of the device before starting the curve, so there's a much sharper transition than the S6. This means less glare, and less interference with clicking things.
i just preorder the s7 edge. be here friday.
Check out this craziness!

I guess mazook98 is thinking we might want to ditch our S7 for a note 5 so that we could have a rooted phone that feels like an S7 Edge. At least software wise.

No, I posted it for people who haven't pulled the trigger on buying the S7 because of the bootloader thing, but own a Note 5 right now. Or people who kept their old ones.
People DO check out forums of devices they haven't bought yet: at least, I know I do.

I see all these roms that support just about every model but nothin on the sprint 920p.
I know a lot of the lg g2 and g3 multi roms also include the sprint varients. What so diffrent about the samsungs not bein able to port them.
I also want to know this, i've been looking for an answer for months...

Its not just 920p its 920 chn duos too. I think its a slight hardware difference so it would need special development for just that one model and nobody wants to put in that much time.

I figured I'd answer anyway. I've used XDA to revive old devices in my desk drawer just to see if it could Be done. I'm on an s6 e+ that thinks its an s6 and I've got s7 edge
