Just discovered spen toolbox in the play app store. It's not advertised to work on the note 4, but it works fine.
It allows you to use you're own custom sounds for removing and replacing your spen, and can also pop up a mini menu of apps you use you're spen on. In addition, your note can not only turn on with spen removal, but also shut off on replace.
It can even auto launch an apk on remove, but I find in using the spen more and more.
There is a shutoff delay on the free version, and no delay if you pay the $2.60 or so for the unlocked version.
I was so happy it worked flawlessly, I was happy to pay for full, even though it's high for limited functionality.
So now can use light Saber startup sounds, muscle car sounds, or ghostbusters proton pack sounds.!
Here's the play link:

Sounds good. I'll give it a try. I miss the Star Wars light saber sound when I used the S-Pen on my note 2!
what about GMD s pen control from the note 3?

oh, excited for no reason
For the Developer Edition (IF rooted), I just downloaded the GMD Spen Control app. Almost $6 USD but WOW what that thing does! Some of the best money I've spent in a long time. Actually, I spent none of my own money: I have Google Rewards app, which pays cash into my Google account for taking surveys on my phone... so I used that!
Anyway, I highly recommend both apps. That said:
Does anyone here have the OGG files for the lightsaber start and stop? I'd love to throw that into the sound library - THANKS!
You can use any wav or mp3 file as well. I currently have the ghostbusters proton pack startup and shutdown sounds on my note.
Does the root app offer any additional functionality?

That's awesome, just set it up for mine!
I bought this, awesome, Love it!
I use the sounds and pop-up mini window, like it better then the stock one.
and I use smart screen off, so if screen was off it goes off if screen was on stays on.
Super Find!
I saw lag a few times on playback on remove and replace, but think I found the cure, just like the "ok Google" delay.
It's the stock touchwiz launcher.. install Nova, and they go away completely, and OK Google launches like 10 times faster!
There's nothing that makes me feel more stupid than saying ok google, and my phone just sitting there doing nothing like a rock.
Hey,
I checked that app and bought it. It is excellent. Thanks for sharing it. I am hiring a mobile application development company to another application like this for iPhone.

But the iphone doesn't have a stylus, so I don't get the point of an iphone version.

No Garee, There are different stylus available for iPhone, you can check them on amazon or ebay.

True, but they work just like a finger touch does. There is no extra button to launch a nenu, not pressure sensitivity, and no way for the device to detect you even have a stylus.
That's why it makes no sense at all to me to try to replicate the app on an iphone...it depends on hardware support of a stylus, not just using a simple capacative pen.
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.

you'd have to add extra lines to the others.html file in csc folder and i think it's the only workaround for now. your phone needs to be rooted with the latest supersu from chainfire. i did it and it works.
What other lines?
Edit: extra lines

Don't want to root as Samsung is releasing updates frequently for this device now. Any way to have A-Z without rooting the device?

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.

Since the update my cameras shoot button has moved from the edge screen (one of my favourite features).
Can this be changed in settings or does anyone know where I can get the original camera apk?
Thanks in advance, David

You need to go back to Kitkat if you want that feature....
That does suck. :crying:That was the whole point of having the edge so you can move everything off the screen. Hopefully it is a setting somewhere or a change that can be made.

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.
am curious.. did the same happen to everyone who updated their edge to the 5.0.1 version?

It made my note edge a note 4 with a smaller battery. This is what Samsung gives people that spend another $100 for their test product.
Hey guys, what are some ways to check if a galaxy s7 is fake? I want to buy one on craigslist but I saw a video where some guy posted about a fake s7 from china and it looks so alike. Literally 1:1, so what are some ways to check if a Galaxy S7 is real? I know a few ways but would definitely like some input. I know you can boot it into recovery and if its a fake, usually it will have chinese letters. Also, if the device is locked then thats a good indicator that its real. Running antutu might not work for it because they made it so that the fake phones can produce fake results.

Search YouTube, there's videos on there comparing real vs fake s7's. Also checking the Android version In settings and software will usually give away a fake, it will still be lollipop software. Another way is rebooting into recovery, fakes will boot to a recovery screen with chinese or Japanese writing.

check this video out, it looks so similar to the real one that its hard to differentiate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o7aONAfX-I
As stated already, boot in to recovery mode and verify that it in fact says it's a G930 model.
I bought a fake and there are a few ways:
1. The box: the S7 has a nice flip open box. The fakes imitate last years' s6 box with the slide out
2. The screen: The S7 has a 5.1" AMOLED, the fakes have a 1280x720 LCD.
3. Click on any samsung app. The fakes don't have the correct apps installed
4. Reboot into download mode. The fakes have a test mode and no download mode
5. reset the phone. The fakes don't have the 10 screens of samsung/google logins before getting to the home screen.
6. Pull down the notifications. The real one has an arrow on the top right to edit the quicksettings.
7. Check the back of the phone. The bottom has writing below the glass

install this app from play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
and do this "Refurbishment check" if it says original it's ok if not = FAKE
good luck
safest way: call samsung and give them the imei. they will tell you if it is fake or not.
this is what i did when i bought mine and it was a very quick process.
you can check here :

Try enter in download mode and chek the model there.
This is a good video to watch, This person shows the main stuff
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzKnmffM2K4
simple ways to find out if a SG7 is a fake.
1.) go to the system about and click the software info android version and click it a few times
you will see a lollipop
2.) download a app that will tell you the cpu of the phone
3.) also a fake the back will come off as they have a ****ty battery
4.) the screen will look a bit off and when u press it you will see like a old calc looking liquid under it
5.) they mostly will be the FD model will 2 sim cards
6.) the phone weight is almost the same its about 20 grams off or so
7.) everything looks pretty dam good on the clone/fake/replica
8.) most will not even have a download mode
9.) recovery mode will be old
10.) the side edges cant be faked on the clone so that's a big give away
Best way is to download a app that can show you the processor the system has
I can tell you i seen some fakes that even look better then the one in that video
can you tell me a bit about how you came across it? Was something trying to sell it to you on craigslist/kijiji? did you report them to the police? what happened after you realized it was a fake?
