Talking about I5800XXJPF

Hi everybody,
Here is my first experience with this version :
- Rooted successfuly with OneClickRoot 1.5.5
- GPS : first, it wasn't working properly (slow and not allways working). Then I installed GPS Status (which download an xtra.bin file) and put XTRA option activated in gpssetup2. I also modified the gps.conf file as shown in an other thread. ==> GPS working good and quick ! good news !
*EDIT* : FasterFix doesn't work, application display stays black, no menu scroll down to change location. Octy doesn't improve gps too. Only way for me was to change manually gps.conf.
- Quadrant score : about 350 with some very shorts slow down during test ... I don't know why (I killed every process before runing quadrant)....
- It's smooth to use but ... after "playing" with GPS Status, GPS Test and Maps, system becomes VERY slow during a few minutes, even after killing all process ...
I don't know if LagFix V2 will resolve this problem, I don't think so but I didn't make the test. Quadrant score goes to 570 with LagFix but what is the real effect on the system ?
- No other problem discovered yet but there are a lot of functions to test ...
- Let's see tomorow about battery life ...
What about you ?
Best regards and sorry for my english ...

Thanx for the feedback.. also waiting to know the battery life as well.. having hell lot of problem with JPA and JPB (

Installed it a while ago, but haven't noticed any big differences in smoothness or features. No news with GPS either. It still works relatively well after applying modified gps.conf.
The rom still does not include Finnish or Swedish keyboard layouts, but you can install gingerbread keyboard that has them.
Rooting confirmed to work with OneClickRoot 1.5.5.
Also, MusicPlayer.apk from stock android doesn't work anymore. It did with XXJPB, but now it complains about shared libraries missing. Will just have to use the samsung's one.

This slowness bug after using GPS has was in JPB too. The phone might become completely unusable for few minutes. Reboot of course solves this as well as waiting.

This was the case in all previous firmwares as well? Swype was never the default input method for me. Talking about Swype: does it respond quick to the word you swyped? Because With JPA/JPB I always had to wait a few seconds after swyping a word before it would appear on the screen.

Could have been because my phone didn't clear my old settings when i reflashed.. and nope swype doesn't seem to have any kind of delay on the words.. at least not when it finds the exact word.. if it finds multiple words it has a slight delay tho

[Personal Review] Galaxy S7 edge Nougat beta firmware

Hi guys here you have a proper review of the Nougat firmware for the S7 edge based on my personal experiences.
So I installed it yesterday night via odin thx to @laimonas777.
With my own experiences I can say it is not as nice as I had thought.. It's hard to use, it's full with small bugs and delays and sometimes it can even freeze up to 30 seconds (My experiences).
Every app has got the new GraceUI of the Galaxy Note 7 including the settings app.
One of the best Nougat features, the display scaling option has got "only" 2 different options which do not differ that much from the standard option.
Let's talk about the Notification panel. You now have 6 toggles visible at the top but you cant swipe anymore. When you pull the statusbar twice you will see 9 toggles per page. Its much harder to find one toggle you are searching for because of the 3 toggle pages. On Marshmallow all toggles were visible in one "page".
Also the colors could have been better but I think everyone has its own opinion there.
Something which is also weird is that you have a search bar on the notification panel but actually you cant type anything in there. Instead, this textfield will just open the finder app.
The camera has got newer options and a totally different but perfect UI which I really like. But the new color modes are actually not that important features and were also aviable partially in 6.0.
Lets move on to the recent apps panel, which is a big pain.. The recent items got taller just like in stock nougat but the scrolling is a very big pain. Its just as the android nougat developer preview 1 for nexus devices also there are some minor graphical glitches which I have shown in the video.
Another thing I want to mention are the notifications. And yes, they are ugly but i am sure samsung will fix that. On every notification where you can tap for an action (example whatsapp, to reply) is a grey bar, which looks horrible. You can see it in the attached ss
Performancewise it hasnt got big changes but dont forget the delays when opening some specific apps etc. The battery consumption is also a bit higher but all these will get fixed with the final build (hopefully).
But now lets talk about the positive things :silly:. The Multiwindow option has got much better than it was on all other touchwiz versions, in short, its almost the same as in stock android nougat. Another thing which is perfect is the Window apps mode where you can open apps in window mode. We all know how bad this option was in Touchwiz, maybe no one of you ever have used it but now the window mode is very good and snappy. The negative thing there is that you cant deactivate these both modes anymore. So always when you try to pull down the notification panel from the right or left top corner, it will just open the current app always in window mode which is quite annoying.
And something which is annoying like hell is that if you play a game like doodle jump where you dont need to touch the screen the screen always turns off after a while. So the auto screenoff option doesnt get disabled while playing games or (maybe) even while watching a movie.
Galaxy Labs is now removed, so now you cant get all apps on your homescreen and you cant hide the appdrawer.
Remember that this is a very early beta build, and all of these bugs are normal and wont be there in the finale build.
Here is a quick video about the update to see how it looks

What about a dark theme...it was rumoured that Android N will have a dark theme not only that light one. Also the existing themes in store (for Samsung) work properly on N or not?

Keep in mind this is the frist beta released from samsung, so some things might hopefully change by the release of the final firmware. Also, you do have scaling other than going through the developer options. Go to Display -> Font and you will get to cgoose both the Screen zoom (which is set to almost huge idk why) and of course the font size. This comes to be as tha Normal and Condensed options back from marshmallow.

Hey glad to help. nice rview my friend. . :good:
P.S What happened to the hand?

I'm using the ota build and its running lovely to be fair
Touchwiz is rubbish anyways and just install nova which makes Icons smaller

thanks for the corrections, in stock nougat there is an extra option for the display scaling. I didnt look in the font scale thought its just the normal font scaling

Hello, thank you for great review. Could you confirm one exciting feature of android 7 (atleast for me) that it works on this phone beta software.
As of Android 7.0 phone can read 2G/3G/LTE frequency without ROOT. Easiest way is to install app Cellmapper(mapping cell towers to map) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper&hl=en
Could you run this app and post screenshot while connected to LTE only(no wifi)? Also, maybe send debug report from settings menu to developer with screenshot.
Thank you

Strange review .... I have been using it also since yesterday, and it is faster and smoother then my MM stock ...
Agreed there is some laggs when double tapping the multi tasking bouton, but overall its snapier and more responsive.
Also I have not noticed any freeze. I find this beta very polished to be honest.
Have you done a full wipe before installing ? or OTA ?

Thank you. Does not seem to report more info than in android 6.0.1. If you see LTE band reported on Cellmapper screen you can make another screenshot, but it seems that this functionality might not be there.

It's not a review, it's a rant. I literally have no issues with it, no freezes what so ever, it's actually snappier than MM.

I think the 'review' tag should be removed from this thread or it should be locked, as it is full of false information and the corrections to that false information have been given, but the 'review' hasn't been updated. If people read this thread thinking it is accurate, they will get false information.
The comment about display options, for instance, is just the OP not knowing what to do. It's not something wrong or an option that has been removed, it's just a lack of knowledge.

Yeah, I don't get that with any app. The only thing a bit laggy is the "new window" tab animation in the browser and the notification bar. Apart from those two things, it is fine.

App not closing when lock screen

I only have allowed whatsapp, weather, and wunderlist app to run when screen is locked and i noticed for example when i run Instagram and i lock my screen the app still running for hours.....
The only way to close apps not allowed to run is to clean all apps under the "recent apps menu".
This does not happen in p9 lite for example, without need to clean the recent apps tab, when I turned off the screen all the apps not allowed closed completely
Is this a bug or its normal?

use greenify could be a wake lock

When you close an app, it's important to use the back button rather than the home button.

go developers settings and change background process to minimum might help you out to get less apps running into the background
but just for info . its healthy to keep apps running in background even if it taking ram it will stabilize your multitasking ! .

I'm having the same problem. It's a shame that so many members chimed in with no solution but instead tell you that having apps running in the background is best. The fact is, this is a feature that can be configured on the Honor 8 but it currently isn't working whereas it used to work. I don't want to keep apps like browser, games, moviepass, or apps that I don't care about notifications anyway such as Snapchat. All I want is to just lock my phone and have comfort knowing that all the apps I wanted closed will be closed.
So the question remains, has anyone found a solution for this? Is this just a problem with conflicting settings configurations? If you don't have a solution, please don't respond.

disable app drawer

Hi guys,
it is my first thread so please apologize inconvenience upfront, thank you.
I own a Pixel 2 since a couple of days and I really like it. But since I'm coming from a Huawei device and need to use iOS devices in my company I'm really familiar with the 'no app drawer' thing.
Yeah, I know that this is something most of the people love, but I really can't get used to it.
Is there anyone who maybe know how to disable the app drawer?
Already tried different launcher and the only one that I've found was the Mi-Launcher.
If there is the emui launcher somewhere outside, I would prefer this but I've looked already day after day for it.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you all.
cheers

Give it some more time. It's really nice to keep your home screen clutter free and all apps sorted alphabetically in the drawer. You wouldn't want all your computer find at work sorted randomly on the desktop, would you?
But if you must change it, I'm sure there are a bunch of iOS themed launchers in the play store. That's the beauty of Android... Choice!

You could use Nova Launcher. Just disable swipe app drawer and hide the drawer button. Make sure the setting "place newly installed apps on home screen" is enabled.

pixel 3 modded launcher

Can't live without the pixel launcher no more, and the speed it adds to the p20 pro is superb.
Have been through pretty much every launcher and this adds to a better user experience.
The version i'm using is P-4623511 -modded-5.2.0
New themeable launcher here.

Be sure to give the app all available permissions BEFORE you run it for the first time or it will crash.

How are you guys getting this to work? I installed Launcher3-aosp-optimized.apk then updated the permissions but I can't run it. I would have expected to just press the home button and it would ask which launcher I want to use but that doesn't happen.
