Raise to wake - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hello,
Is there a way via a stock setting or an app that is not power hungry that can make our S7 Edge have this feature? (Like the moto, iPhone..)
Thank you!

[Q] Activate touchscreen without power-button

Hey folks,
I'm almost going nuts with this topic, can't find anything useful on the internet.
Is there any way to activate the Smartwatch 2 without the power-button? Yes, you can activate the back-light by double-tap, but you can't unlock the display without pushing the power-button (and wiping).
Double-tap and then be able to wipe would be nice. Or if I take a look at the watch the back-light goes on and then I already want to have the possibility to wipe the lock screen away. Is that somehow possible?
Regards

Thanks for the answer, but I don't believe in Santa anymore.
Edit:
But maybe the easter bunny exists and I gave it a try: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Wirel...creen-without-power-button/m-p/819109#U819109
i got a few posts on that forum as well, never got a reply from Sony
crossing my fingers the easter bunny will wake up soon
gravity screen is for your phone indeed, not for the watch

[Req] GS6 Edge features on GS6

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.

Volume alert

Hello, as much as I appreciate Samsung's concern for my health and safety, I am getting annoyed by the volume notification that says "Listening to music on high volume for long periods of time might be harmful" etc., sometimes I'm out running and I try to turn up the volume, it'll vibrate and block it, so I'm forced to pull out my phone and dismiss the freaking notification.
I tried searching for it in the settings, nothing came up as a toggle switch off.. Thanks ?

Nothing you can do about it without root. Samsung doesn't understand that external bluetooth devices have independent volume controls, apparently.

How do you do it when rooted?
I actually don't know on this phone. On the S4, I used Xposed to remove the volume warning, but I don't know if that's available for the S6 yet. Might check the S6 development forums to see if there's anything.
This is an Android feature, not Samsung. I think Google added it in KitKat to comply with some laws somewhere.

I'm pretty sure it's a Samsung thing. The Moto G 2nd Gen running the 5.0 update doesn't do it, and didn't do it on the shipped 4.4 OS.

My LG Optimus G does it and so does my Nexus 7 (stock Android).

Well, I didn't know that. I don't use Google-stock android devices, and the Optimus G, when I had it, never did that. I did sell it before the update, though.

Any way to disable capacitive buttons and use software buttons instead?

I keep accidently pressing the buttons while playing games or watching videos. Is there any way to disable them and use software buttons instead? I remember one of the roms I used on my S4 had this option.

The galaxy s7 has the game tool which allows you to disable those buttons when ingame, why don't you use that?
Good day.
I use an app to disable individual buttons that does not need root. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kunkunsoft.hardwaredisabler&hl=pt_PT.)
Also in my previous phone i used PIE to replace softkeys. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jun.ace.piecontrol&hl=pt-PT)
Hope it helped
That's the best way to ruin the phone usage experience. s7 has a Small screen already why you want to shrink it even more?

It's more the size of the actual handset. I can't use it one-handed, which is a pain at times.
Download samsung game tools it does exactly what you need

Does the S8+ support double-tap on?

I got very used to this on my V20 and now I can't seem to find it or make it work on my S8+. Is double-tap on supported?

How did you get it to work? I can't seem to find the setting anywhere and double-tap doesn't work when I tap on the screen.
You can just hard press where the home button is to wake the phone up.
I agree with the OP. i could take anywhere on the v20. I would like to do the same thing on this phone but it doesnt seem that option is available. 2 things i miss... Tap anywhere and using "ok google" without ever touching the phone.

How is that double-tap? I found a tutorial that shows how to use it using Nova Launcher which I use any way, but it just locks the device not wakes it up.

I found the OK Google, you press and hold where the home button should be on the bottom of the screen in the center and that starts OK Google.
Yeah this is one feature that kinda annoys me that they left out. Like come on Samsung my girls lg k10 can do it but the mighty s8+ can't. Really!?

You can double tap the home button on the AOD to wake the phone.
