Hey everyone,
Just wanted to know if it was possible to get the gs6 features on the gs6. I would like to get the contact shortcut on the right side for instance.
It would be great if someone was working on it.
Cheers
+1 That would be awesome. Since it's only a software functionality, it shouldn't be so hard to port, right ?

The edge version has features? Here I was thinking it's a bent phone for $150aud more than the straight alternative.

It has a really nice quick access to 5 favourites contacts and a night clock. Both on the edge.
Edge Contacts on any phone.
Please give me the apk. It's not on play store in France

To activate Edge Contact in your device, you will need to swipe up from the home button. This will activate a selector on the first try, from there select Edge Contact as default and you should be good to go.

I may have not express myself very well...
It works! When I hold on the home button I can access to the shortcut. I also set up Edge contact as default application for the home button. However, when I slide up over the home button nothing happen. And I can only click on the contact to call them...
Basicaly I only have circles and I can pick my favourite contacts but I was more looking for something like this: http://phandroid.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Samsung-Galaxy-S6-Edge-screen-settings-DSC08583.jpg or with options at least
Thanks.

I flashed the 925T firmware on my 920T. Only thing I had to do to make it work was use our own boot.img. The contact shortcuts are the only thing that worked as far as the edge features go, we'd need a kernel dev to fix an edge kernel to use the correct axes for touch.

flashed an s6 rom to an s6 edge because of your post. works as it should. maybe start a thread showing people how to flash s6 edge roms on the regular s6 and s6 roms on the edge. what do you think?

It's pretty straight forward. Flash the rom then flash a kernel for your device. Does the fingerprint sensor work for you? That's the only issue I had with 925T firmware, but it may have been caused from deodexing.

Perhaps a noob question but I figured I might as well ask before trying it and messing something up.
Is there a Google Now Launcher APK that's been confirmed to work on the G3? all the APKs I find are in articles and links from months ago and I just want to have the most recent information and APK(s) available.
Loving the G3 just would like Google Now Launcher and preferably the n5 dialer/camera apps. If all this is located somewhere and I'm just being an idiot, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
andrej
Google camera is in the play store, the others should be findable, I'll check when I get home for you

I assume it is working ok? Love the device, and I'm going to try to time with the stock launcher for at least a couple of days, but probably going to this launcher soon.
Thanks.

I'd recommend Swipe Dialer. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mb.swipedial.donate
It can look almost stock Android.

You guys know how we can rub the edge and get the clock and stuff to come on. Well why did it take so long to come on? It takes like a second or two. In that time i can just press the home button and see more than the edge offers. ... am i alone on this one?
Also, my weather edge sometimes displays the weather condtion graphic, sometimes it doesn't.

is there an apk or a way to extract the apk to enable the edge rubbing feature?
it got disabled or does not exist in the 5.1.1

I have the phone for two days now, but I noticed that unlike GS4 and GS5, GS6 is missing these two important features!
there is no "answer vibration" feature , so if someone answer my call I can't let the device vibrate!
you can't put a "direct call" icon in the desktop! now you can put contact icon, then after clicking it will take you to the contact page for that person!
Anyone, is this the case with you? anyone know how to solve it?!
Go into the dialer settings and under call alerts you'll find what you're looking for.

Don't think it's Samsung. Looks like Google removed the shortcuts for the direct call, email, sms, etc... In lollipop from what I can find. I been searching and not much info on the web about this, guess me and you the few that used that feature.

it might be, but I used Lollipop in my GS5 and the feature was there!
I am most annoyed about the vibration thing! I even flashed a German ROM in my mobile but the vibrate on answer feature didn't show up! :crying:

Direct call is different from a shortcut. With direct call you click the icon and it calls the assigned person. With the shortcut as in the screen you posted, it takes you to the contacts page, where you then call text etc...
Thanks though

Thank you for your answer, this feature is important to me. I tired to install the T-Mobil US ROM. but it failed with Odin! I guess because my phone is G920F. and the T-Mobil pone is G920I.
For the second point, I agree with tenxo. Galaxy phones used to have direct calls.

I have the European S6 Edge - no call alert settings as well. I would like to remove the call connect tone and enable vibrate on answer. Hope Samsung will add this with the next updates.

This ROM is what you're looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-xtrestolite-pure-edition-1-0-beta-1-t3082467
Now I can't tell you if this ROM will work on your phone, but it has the option to turn on Vibrate on Call. This ROM is also a "LITE" rom, so it de-bloats alot of things. So read carefully, and ask questions BEFORE you flash.

I don't use the ROM (I haven't rooted yet--waiting/hoping of a way to root without tripping KNOX), but I wanted to read about it and that Vibrate on Calls caught my eye because I remember someone asking about that feature. So I came back here to tell you about it. I'm T-Mobile US, so I already have that feature OTB. Weird some don't have that simple feature. Odd. But you're welcome, and good luck!

Hi all, anybody has an solution for sorting apps alphabetical. I have a S6 international and have no option to do that. [emoji17]
Thanx
Hi, I don't own a Galaxy S6, but I do have some info to share. While online reviews show the Galaxy S6 app drawer having an A-Z in the top right corner, I saw no such feature on the S6 I got to play with at my local Samsung store, which is probably on pre-release software. So maybe a software update will fix it.
No such button in the top right corner. I'm on Lolipop 5.0.2 which is the most recent. I think it's a shame that this is not possible.
I think only the T-Mobile version has it.
Manually sort them for now until Samsung decide to push a fix. Or you could use a different launcher.
[emoji17]
this is sucks. i saw it in the shop too, wonder how, why.
I don't have the international version, I'm on Sprint. But I have an option in the top right hand corner when opening the app tray. It says A-Z and sorts it for me. Hopefully a fix comes out for the international version soon, for you.
Yeah hope so
Hope Samsung Sorts this out, my apps folder is a mess right now with 11 screens with some apps here, and some apps there, and im not going to spend an hour to sort it out manualy.
My AT&T Galaxy S6 has the option to sort apps in the top right hand corner.
The problem is that one has to hit the "sort alph.." every time to make it sort correctly!
They sure missed some basic stuff in this version of TW.

Hasn't been found yet and I know that it was a feature that was wanted by a lot of people.
I welcome the change.. Was not very natural feeling on the edge when taking landscape photos. But having the option to change between the two choices would please more people.
