Hi.. I am looking to install google now launcher on my AT&T Galaxy S5.. I was just wondering will there any issues with using the launcher and Google Now.. I am big fan of them both. Also when Google updates either of these, will i be able to update in Play Store?? I am asking this because I am side loading the launcher. Response is appreciated.
I tried to but can't, maybe change to Nexus 5 in build.prop.
For now you will have to side load any update to that app until Google makes it available for non nexus devices. As you probably already know sideloading works perfectly fine
Can anybody point me in the right direction. My wife's note 3 does not have Galaxy essentials installed. It's the verizon sm-n900v model. I need it to update sns provider. It's for Facebook one tap login. If anyone can gimme an apk or somehow add the widget that would be highly appreciated. I contacted samsung support and they couldn't do anything. They said galaxy essentials is only for Samsung s5 and newer devices. I cannot update sns provider without the essentials widget. Thanks in advance.
Fixed it. I ripped the apk from my t mobile note 4 using apk extractor From the play store and installed it on her note 3. Worked like a charm. Yet one tap fb still does not work. O well.
Does anyone know if we can get the STOCK edge panel apps and notifications on S7? My last phone was note 3 on vzw and there was a ROM that had the edge apps that I found to be extremely useful. If anyone knows how to get them on S7 can you help me out please? Thanks to anyone with input ahead of time!

try sideloading related apks
Does anyone know what apks are required? No other modifications are necessary?
There is an app called The peoples edge on google play its exactly like the edge panel its like 1.99 on play store but totally worth it, it works well and its regularly updated, plus you can try before you buy and its inexpensive. No root Required.
ive recently got an S7 edge and im in the process of setting it up as i like it... ive had a galaxy alpha for 2 years and ive got the samsung weather app widget installed. the new samsung weather app doesnt appear to have the animated background like the old one. its just transparant and frankly boring lol.
i tried to install the old app on the s7 (its called AccuweatherPhone2014_s_lmr_HD its the same as the S5 weather app too) but of course that would be too easy. it fails and says "the package conflicts with an existing package by the same name".. i cant uninstall the new version and i cant seem to disable it either.
is there a way to install the old app? i figured that changing the packageID might do it. i tried APKeditor pro and also apk cloner. neither seemed to work. but im no expert with APKs.
any suggestions as to what i can do?
You can try to install the package disabler or the package disabler pro version for samsung devices, and then try to unable the package of the new version of accuwither app and then try to install the old one.
If that's not working you can root your phone and then you will be able to do with it almost anything u want.
Or u can flash a custom ROM and download the app you want
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge using XDA Labs
didnt want to root the phone as i use the sky app at lot and that doesnt work with rooted phones as far as i know.
in the end i tried a few other weather apps.. one was called weather live and that was really good. i liked it enough that i ended up upgrading quite soon after (for a whole 50p lol) and its just as good, maybe slightly better than the other one.. it even displays information in the AOD which the other app didnt do.
I was wondering if anyone was able to get Samsung Cloud to work instead of the preloaded verizon cloud. The old trick that I used to do on the S8+ was to install the apk and then use Quick Shortcut Maker app from the playstore to open it. That doesn't seem to work this time around, any ideas? Also had the same question regarding the inbuilt caller ID which verizon replaced with their own, if anyone has messed with it at all.
P.S.- Not trying to flash the unlocked firmware either as that will probably screw with with VoLTE and Wifi Calling
Quick Shortcut Maker still works to access Samsung Cloud on Verizon models as I've been able to do it that way. I also flashed the unlocked version of the firmware and have VoLTE and WiFi calling. Only thing I lost is VVM and video calling which I don't use anyways.

Sure, you can either download SamFirm and let it download it for you or go here:

In the OP there is a portion called U1 Unbranded Firmware hosted on AFH.
Easiest thing to do is use Nova launcher. From your home screen, hold to add a widget. Find Nova launcher in the list of widgets and select the Nova activities widget, scroll down to "Samsung account storage" and select the drop-down. From there scroll down to "Samsung Cloud.app.ui.SCloudActivity" and select it. From there you can open it up and there is an option in the settings to add it to your app screen.
Screenshots attached for reference. I have Verizon and it worked for me.

Hey thanks, I looked for the string "Samsung Cloud.app.ui.SCloudActivity" in QuickShortcutMaker and added it through there instead, works perfectly.
Any luck on getting Caller ID enabled without flashing U1 firmware?
Any updates on this method for latest firmware with one ui 2.0? app wont open from shortcut, i can open it through shortcut maker, chose my backup to recover from but it does nothing. when i chose another shortcut it says the app crashed. i didnt have this problem before this new update. didnt even have to use the shortcut maker, i could access it through samsung app.

If you are using unlocked firmware than Samsung cloud isn't a problem. It might need to be installed or updated but no shortcutmaker needed. It's the Verizon firmware that wont let it work.
Sorry to resurrect the dead with this one, but has anyone found a solution yet? I have the Samsung cloud app but it says that it isn't compatible with my device. I have a z flip 4. Originally on T-mobile, then I moved it to Verizon and had to do a warranty exchange.
