Edge apps - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello!
I searched on s7 edge forum and i didn't find any topic regarding edge apps.
Because in my opinion standard functionality of that beautiful edges is limited.
Can we make a topic where we should put all the apps we know for edge screens?
Thank you!

Thank you
i read the s6 edge manual, it never mention about loopPay.
is LoopPay only available on regular s6 ?
it also said edge screen can stream live news or stock quotes when main screen is OFF, on NoteEdge i can doing something on main screen AND streaming news or stock quotes on edge screen at the same time !
If a remember correctly, Loop Pay will not be available until summer.
They changed the way that the edge screen works as compared to the Note, but I'm not sure exactly what those changes are. I do know that the edge is a little thinner than the Note.

Note 4 vs Note Edge - looking for input

Hi guys, I'm looking for input on my next phone. I've read through the edge vs note 4 threads but most are almost a year old so I'm looking for some updated info. I posted the same question in the Edge forum but would like some input from the other side, as well.
I currently have an S4 and have narrowed down my options to the Edge and Note 4. I like the idea of having the edge screen but wondering if it's actually useful. I don't do anything crazy with my S4...It's rooted and I really like xposed and wanam. I haven't done ROMs or anything like that.
What should I know about or take into account when evaluating the two phone options?
Also, while not specifically a comparison question since I think the feature is identical between the two phones but I've read lots of complaints about the fingerprint reader. Is it bad? Are there ways to make it work better/more accurately?
I am on Sprint.
Thanks!
just go for the regular note 4, the side screen isnt' anything special, but it's much more expensive
At swappa, the price difference is about $50-80. That's not enough to be a deciding factor for me as long as the functionality of the side screen is beneficial.

[Q] Native Bluetooth Stylus support - Note like

http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/05/29/android-m-feature-spotlight-native-bluetooth-stylus-support-is-here/
I am replacing my broken Note 4 with the S7 Edge.
I was looking for some active pens to somehow be able still to write and I stumbled upon this article.
Is this Android M feature supported by the S7?
Could this be added if it's not present?
Am so excited
Preordered the S7 but still on the edge weather to get a Note 5 instead
Could anyone please test it?
Would be awesome
There are even pressure sensitive Bluetooth pens out there.
Bumping. Important Android 6 feature
Could be handy to know coming from note 4 would ease the transition

Edge feeds / apps / panels & AOD customization

Hi guys! I've searched a lot and I couldn't find anything about the "edge" customization.
I've seen there is a lot of apps/feeds/panels for galaxy note edge and s6 edge, but not for our s7e.
I am a biologist not a developer, not even a programmer. But I would like to know if there is a way to port those note edge or s6 apps te the s7e 935f.
For example, the edge clock & weather of the s6e.
Also, I would like to know if it could be possible to customize AOD display to stay on the edge or to customize night clock
To move like AOD to slow down burn-in.
I feel the edge screen and AOD capability have a lot of potential and I see no interest in these forums which has taken me for surprise, since you are always creative and develop cool features
Thanks guys!

Hello,
There are some apps, but very few, and most of them are paid. I was also wondering why this gets such little attention, I also think that AOD and even nigth clock have GREAT opportunities, but nobody seems to be interested.
I know that we will get the updated AOD with the Nougat firmware, that it nice, but nothing new for the night clock. Also no interesting Edge feeds and Edge panels to download. Even in the app store there is nothing significant for us.
I thought that maybe modders will make some cool stuff, but here on XDA it is also a dead topic....
I think the issue is more the amount of Time to put into developing a app thats only specific to two model types:
S6 edge and S7 edge.
While if you develop a standard app, your open to the whole market.
I think the time in developing and upkeep might not justify the attention and downloads on such a specific device.
I know people who have developed apps for the Note series using the Spen
That had a wider market or 3/4 device series and still his sales where not as much as he would of expected.

[Infographic][Comparison]How The Note5 Stacks Up Against The S8/S8+

Hey guys! The Galaxy S8 is coming out soon so I decided to make this infographic highlighting some of the differences between the Note5 & the Galaxy S8 & S8+ in case anyone was curious. In my opinion the S8 devices don't seem to be all that much of an improvement on the Note5, but have a look at the image below to see what you think.
Also, if anyone wants to have a bit of the S8 experience on their Note5 right now, then you can install the Galaxy S8 TouchWiz Launcher from here:

Oh and...please be sure to hit the "Thanks" button if you found this helpful. Thank you!
S8 Has finger print at the back, bixby and bixby vision that does not even work properly, worthless edge screen that takes so much space for just a white gesture. I wait for note 8, I hope its like the note 5 but with 6.4 inch screen , water resistence (although its pointless because people reported s7 edge being damaged by water damage at some cases) , 64 gb memory at least and dual SIM Setup.
I don't care tht much all about those tbh.. all i want is a battery that lasts 7 hours of screen on times in max brightness And i am happy.
