Samsung Edge Screen - Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers

Hello, I'm new to this forum but can someone explain to me if it is possible to install Samsung Edge Screen app in Stock ROM (no root)?
I tried installing different versions from APKMirror but they didn't install, it says there's already a package installed with the same name.
Edit: I was able to install this version. The option showed up in Settings > Display > Edge Screen but it crashes everytime I tap on it, do I need root for this to work?

Ive been trying as well to figure the exact same thing out! As far as I know, that package conflict might be a disabled version of the actual edge screen, but not enough evidence has been gathered to make it a concrete fact yet. Also, what model of J7?

enTourage eDGe Dualbook

I have an enTourage eDGe Dualbook that currently runs on Android 1.6.
I was wondering if the Android developers here have any insight into how to make applications that would apply to this device? I have an interest in making application such as a calender that will sync with Google, MSN and others. I also would like to figure out how to get Flash light on the Edge. It currently does not have Flash, but I know that other devices do have it.
Can anyone help?
I would like to do the same. I have the pocket edge running ermine
Sent from my edgejr using XDA Premium App
I have the same device but with beta ERMIN 0.9 (which is 2.2.1) i was wondering if there is any way to root it. and if its not too much trouble i would really like the market too.
Here is your answer! even if it has root idk about a custom rom or even a market
Android Police has an Article on how to root
OK, need help
After problem with market I tried lot of thing from xda to enable it, nothing worked and after I messed up with lot of things on it I "wisely" decidet to factory reset it.
I did not mentioned I rooted it before and removed some system apps with titanium backup pro
Now after reset everything worked fine till green screen of welcome and 11 steps I skipped all after conecting to wi-fi because there was no eDGe server to register me.
And after skip I got blank screen just with notification bar, after while it locked itself, unlocked it by slideing and still blank.
Like there is no Launcher app.
Now I would use update.zip for ermine but I am lost so many PE users and everything here about PE.
But I need EE original standard one, so please someone direct me to right link for matching update.zip for EE (not PE) and easy instructions because I do not remember anything how I did it last time.
Should I first downgrade to dingo than use update for ermine ???
Update: after shut down (it let me by long press rotation button) after I turn it on it stays in loop (EDGE logo with 4 dots).
resolved, loaded golden dingo then ermine.
wi-fi problem resolved by app but gapps dead for now.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Rugby: various issues

Hello all,
I'm sorry, but I couldn't find any device-related subforum for the Samsung Galaxy Rugby (GT-S5690M). If my questions are in the wrong section, please move it to the right place (mods)?
So here's the story: I just got my first smartphone. Since it's locked to Bell, it has some bloatware and need for sim-unlocking. I did a lot of reading and through some tutorials I managed to root Android and got rid of some bloatware (just four Bell apps). So far so good! Then I tried to unlock the phone. There are some apps in the Google Play that state that they can unlock the phone for free ("works on various Galaxy models").
I tried them out, but none of them could provide a solution. The last app I tried (Galaxy_S Unlock) requested that BusyBox were to be installed, so I did. During the installation the app remarked that already some BusyBox version was installed, but not the version that it was trying to install. I was suppose to try another type of installing (I used the normal/safe mode). But it said it was already installed, so good enough. Right? I tried the unlocking app again, but it still said it had errors getting to communicate with BusyBox. None of the unlocking apps gave me the impression that they changed anything in the system.
I figured that maybe a reboot of the phone would fix this. However, now the phone got several issues:
- booting takes forever (18 minutes) It does the animated Samsung logo (though, not with sound any more) and then keeps on slowing the glowing Samsung name.
- the speaker doesn't seem to be working at all
- it can no longer check for updates. After agreeing with the disclaimer, it says it can't connect.
- KIES doesn't see the phone any more.
- the phone is generally very slow now. Even when typing a password the phone sometimes hangs for about 5-10 seconds. Loading the disclaimer for the Software Updater takes 10-15 seconds.
I tried to reset to factory defaults and reload the rooting zip file again, but to no avail.
I've been trying to read up on the isolated symptoms, but I'm simply starting to feel overloaded with all the info, especially since I'm a Android newbie.
Does anybody recognize these symptoms and, more important, has any tips on what to try to restore whatever has gone wrong?
Additionally, I would really be interested in knowing if there's a way to force-upgrade to Jelly Bean. It appears that this firmware hasn't been made available to Rugby users yet through the regular update channels. But are there alternatives?
Thanks in advance!

[Q] OMG! (Anyone???) samsung gn2 networks prob

I have a sprint samsung galaxy note 2 that is rooted running macksrom 5.0 and i started having this problem. the problem is i can call from my phone when it is not on wifi but the 3g/4g isnt showing up top in the status bar i cant access the internet unless im on wifi. when i go into settings and click on mobile networks it acts like it is going to do it then it hangs at a black screen and a box pops up and says unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped ive tried cleaning caches and fixing permissions, nothing helps, there is also another thing that pops up and says error #89 unknown error. it also says when i click on stuff, use touchwiz or xperia to perform this action. Always or just once.) I bought this samsung gn 2 online everything was already done to it. I think whoever installed the macks rom must have left the the touchwiz on it. Because it keeps asking me when i do things, perform action using touchwiz or xperia I also noticed that i have goomanager on it. Can i use the goomanager to reflash this phone? If so can someone give me information on how to properly do it. i also read something about mobile odin. Which one would be the easiest to use?

Device care Security and Samsung Phone "Places"

Hello, i'm having troubles figuring out how to not just disable but completely remove the tab in device care for the "security" feature and "places" from samsung phone app, I'm running a one UI port rom and i've seen that different roms have these "features" disabled, just replacing the app didn't work (didn't make sense in the first place but i tried my luck) and can't seem to find a csc feature (floatingfeature.xml) that can change the state of it. Anyone have any idea on how to do so?

second hand rooted LG V500N with unknowns

Hi,
I got "new" phone, model as per title. It appeared it's been previously rooted and has Magisk installed. Poor creature selling this to me has no idea about those things and he got it like that from his friend in different country.
As this is replacement of my personal phone, after I sunk S9+ and decided to break up with "S", I have not much eagerness to experiment.
Current firmware (as what phone shows) is V30c-KOR-XX seems based on Android 11.
I'd leave as it is but... Google Pay doesn't like the fact phone is rooted. I have no issue with that phone is rooted but with that I can't use Google Pay.
Additionally, despite setting EN-US as language I see lots of Chinese or Korean or Japanese "letters" here and there - not causing any more issues than esthetic. I'd prefer to not have it so probably to load phone with some different firmware. Would be lovely if that could actually have "Polish" (as I am).
Also, I tried to get to "recovery" and phone does not react to Power+Vol Up - please correct me if that's not the right combination. When I used Magisk to reboot into Recovery then I see "No command" message...
Magisk is current - 24.1 and same "app".
So my options would be:
- fixing what is currently (ignore not having Polish on it) and making GPay works
- loading some factory firmware and unrooting it
- loading something different which would also allow to make GPay to work
I'm not complete noob, and got years of Linux exp as this is my only OS I work on. Also I was playing with rooting, firmwares and kernels but that was age of Samsung S2 and S4 when I did it last time, therefore I know many things changed and some might be easier some harder to do. Additionally, this is my first LG as somehow I always had "S's".
What I'd like to ask community here is to help me determine exact (versions, links) software I possibly could use and provide some guidance on how to do this "these days".
So to make things easier, I will ask questions:
1. What firmware should I load and how (preferably using Linux)?
2. How to fix (if necessary) "missing" recovery ?
3. How to make GPay running if suggested firmware is not factory one?
To be clear, I don't mind using current firmware loaded on phone if I can make things work. Less work is better for me as I can't be left without phone for longer than a day.
