Grace UX for S7/S7 Edge - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion

Any informations about Grace UX on S7? I mean I heard something about it on the Android 7 update, but maybe if we don't have a Note 7 now, they will port it faster to S7.

There are a couple N7 ROM ports in Dev section, maybe those have it...

I have a newbie question, I didn't flash any ROMS for a while (since I had a Galaxy S4, 2 years ago). If I will flash any custom ROM, my warranty will be voided? Or is there any solution not to trigger the Knox counter?

Don't know exactly for S7 Edge but I owned an S6 Edge before and on that it was possible to root without tripping Knox but the fingerprint scaner was not working anymore in this case.

Knox will trip, and no there is nothing you can do about it or to reset it unfortunately.

Stock Lollipop theme for S6 ?

So is there a stock Lollipop looking theme for Galaxy S6 ? and if there isn't, do you think there will be one ? Is it possible to create one ?
Thanks
I have been waiting for this as well since I bought the phone. All the ROMs I have seen seems to use TouchWiz.

[Q] Galaxy S6 Lollipop 5.1.1

Hello guys,
I've downloaded firmware 5.1.1 for my Galaxy S6 SM-G920F but I didn't flash it because some of the websites said that it will cause battery drainage very badly.
Any one has done it? what about solving Ram issue? any information please

Just curious, what difference does it make if he has tripped Knox or not?
Frankly I never used Knox and what is has to do with the update?

Because if you update to 5.1.1 you have to break/trip knox to gain root, but if you have 5.0.2 you won't have to
Thanks for the info,
What about downgrading? Is it possible to get back to 5.0.2 after the update?

It means better not to update if they didnt solve Ram issue

5.1.1 is much smoother and have less battery drain in my opinion.
I don't care about knoxx, the only thing what is important is smoothness of my phone.
I tryed custom recovery, stock recovery, root, no root,
And to be honest now I'm running the latest Xtrestolite (odex) and it's the best update till now! ( in my opinion )
5.1.1 will come to you at some point weather you like it or not. Best version of 5.1.1 is the one offered via OTA which is specific to your country. No fears of bricking your phone or voiding your warranty. A little patience is needed to wait for it as Samsung deploys it slower than we expected it. If you are the one who cares only for the latest which on most cases is the greatest and willing to take risks then flash away.
Thanks guys for the answers,
Mine is SM-G920F which the update came for france! Is it workable in other countries?
I'm just wondering is the 920F the more popular international model over the 920I? I have the 920F by the way.
There seems to be all kinds of bugs with 5.1.1, is it worth updating to it? If anything, I think I'll at least wait for the OTA, I live in America so will I get the OTA at same time as others around the world?
Can anyone confirm longer exposures than 1/10 sek in 5.1.1? For example try Manual Camera. In 5.0.2 the max. exposure is 1/10
Thanks!
I've updated it and its really smooth and faster.
But unfortunately the Ram Issue is the same! Still reaching 88%!!
Its a large update, its o er 500mb. I updated with no problems. I find the battery life a bit better. The phone runs smoother and there are a few extras with camera. I'm nit a camera person but do a search and you'll get the idea of the chance. You can now get rid off s finder and quick connect. Other features too. I like the update and Knox is not important to me, however. YOU CAN'T ROOT, right now.

Says Kernel not supported and it wont boot. Now have to use Odin to get back. 920P is not supported! Can't get back thru Odin so I'm letting it boot. Taking a long time and but finally there. I had to wipe everything. I'll let you know if it's rooted now. It booted but can;t use touch.
Did you guys update to 5.1 via ota? I'm in the UK with a non branded s6 and nothing available for me

Rooted OC3 update to OG5 (5.1.1)

Hey guys...i apologize if this has been discussed already!
I am rooted on OC3 with KNOX intact. Is there currently a way to upgrade to OG5 while keeping root and not tripping KNOX?
rooted OC3 seems pretty good so far and I don't want to trip KNOX because I am REALLY am interested in using Samsung Pay.
so far the updates have not seemed to be anything major. However, 5.1.1 + the Stagefright fix in the most recent update would be nice to have.
Is everyone just waiting until the Samsung Pay update?
thanks!
Not yet

Samsung Pay. nope not for Verizon S6.
side rant: can't encrypt and use samsung pay either. that always makes consumers happy, be more restrictive with less features than the competition.

Note5 and Edge+

I'm currently using a G928T Edge + running TEKHD's Note5 ROM. My device settings show up as Note5 including the model number, all that stuff.
Question is that if I download all necessary 6.0 files for the Note5, couldn't just flash everything via Odin onto my edge and be good to go? Since my device is now recognized as a Note, using all of Note's software (kernel I'm not too sure because I had Arters before I flashed TEK's ROM).
Anyone know?

You can odin flash the Tmobile Note 5 firmare however you will loose all the S6 edge+ special
side panel features and the spen features of the Note 5 will NOT work on the phone just because
you odin flash Note 5 firmware.
Tmobile has already started rolling out the OTA update Note 5 and S6 Edge+ 6.0 firmware in the
past 24 hours according to Sammobile.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

But if I flash the firmware for the Note5, what about the Arter kernel for the note5 6.0.1? I think I'll have to flash an international ROM and then the call audio fix...right?
I don't care about the edge features as I don't use them, I just like the look of the phone to be honest.
Oh and the edge plus has not been rolled out
