'Omega Rom' Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - Alterations Request - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi Indie,
OK have now installed Omega Rom, restored my backed up 'data' in so all my settings, etc are back and all is good except....
Would it be possible to add an option (maybe on install) to remove the Samsung bloatware? (S-Voice, S-Planner, Quick Connect, Samsung Internet Browser)
All that stuff that is there but nobody ever uses [I use google now which has voice, and google calendar]
S-Planner is the worst because when disabled it just keeps and ongoing notification telling you its disabled (REALLY ANNOYING)
I'd be a fully happy man if this could be done in the next update,
Cheers!

[Q] Problem - Facebook

I just purchased the Samsung Galaxy 3 today and installed facebook. I'm having problems with getting notifications from messages and comments made from other people about my status etc... I have gone to the settings in the application and activated so the notififications, no good!
I know the iphone sends a notification to the user when someone makes a comment about your status etc, does the samsung do the same thing??
If you have 2.1 then facebook doesnt support push notifications
Flash a 2.2 rom
i didnt get even after flashing many roms
But you can try
Also try Flow for Facebook
it has push notifications and yes it works but in 2.2 and above only it supports push notifications
No worries thanks, so i need to try Flash 2.2?? And try flow for Facebook?? If so how do i do these? Sorry to ask all these questions I'm not the mobile type, working on it!!

Headphones SVOICE Launch strange issue

Hi all, not sure if this is in the right place, apologies moderators if so
I have problem on my Note 3 - so I am now intrigued and enthusiastic about getting to know and getting the most out of S-Voice - but mainly with the headphones in a hands free fashion.
However when the phone is in my pocket and off and i long press the control button on the headphones to supposedly launch S-Voice or Google Now... i get absolutely nothing.... so i take the phone out of my pocket and turn on the screen... unlock it... and i see a prompt "complete action using S-voice OR Google Search" but only for a split second and the prompt dissappears without me being able to even come close to making a selection and always happens that way.....
So im ending up with... nothing.. no control.. no apps launched.. ever... just a teasingly close to choice thats taken away from me.
Whats the deal? anyone know?
Many thanks
Liam
Try disabling Google's Voice Search (Now) in settings->apps>google now.
This should make svoice the default automatically.
If you need Google Now and don't want it disabled I don't know how I can help. I can't replicate the issue here.

Many thanks for reply, I see what you mean by setting it to default.... But you are right, I do want google now voice search enabled so that's not an option (unless doing this sets the default then when voice search is re enabled it remember my preference??)
How is your svoice setup skander1988? Would you be able to screenshot for me?

I believe re-enabling google now will reset the defaults again.
There is nothing to setup though, I'm using the S5 SVoice on my Note 3 with Google Now enabled and it automatically uses SVoice for me.
EDIT: I just reconfirmed, it automatically opens SVoice for me by default without any additional configuration
EDIT2: My friend's Note 3 shows the same behaviour as yours.

I'm intrigued.

I use the S5 port on rom central (can't link to rom central here) - I customised to my own needs.
It's basically the S5's Firmware made compatible with the Note 3 with the SPen features readded.

Calculator talking to me

The calculator app is saying what numbers I push. It started doing it in the middle of using it. How can I turn it off?

hi,
ok it seems its some bug ?
This is wat i did,
on device.. settings/accessibilities /Services... turn off all "Services apps that is enabled.
eg. i had under Services.. Pushbullet, Greenify, Enhanced Sms. & Caller id etc. etc enabled. I had to turn them all off. Working 100%
Good luck
I found that the settings of text-to-speech options affects the talking calculator.
I just changed the language from English to any other language, then the calculator spoke the other language.
So, if the text-to-speech is turned off, the calculator will be quite. But no idea how to turn this off...

hi,
it is logical that if caculator "speaks" numbers etc. it is using a text to speech voice option. eg On my device Note 4 or my Note 3 or other, i have Samsung voice, Google voice or SVOX installed. If i disable it a lot of my apps won't work. This is not what is causing problem. (If you search around xda threads you will find thread where this solution was posted, unfortunately i did not save link at time) Try option in my post above and you will most likely see it works, but you have to turn off all apps listed in services.( The text to voice is mere a tool)

I've already tried every solutions I found on internet, and none fixed it. My calculator still speaks... lol
I have this as well
It is so stupid I will have to try these fixes later
Unfortunately I cannot disable everything in the services menu as I have a pebble watch and it needs it.
I guess I'll have to get a different calculator app.

A user of my rom was having the same issue. So I fixed it.
Confirmed working, flash in recovery. Must be on a deodexed rom.

OMG
i've been crazy lurking around for the possible solution of this stupid voice text on my calculator as well.
I had made a thread regarding this and people from here has no idea about the solution for this problem.
i went to the settings, manage apps, all and deleted google text to speech and disabale samsung text to speech.
thats the time it will stop working. BUT, once you close all your recent used apps the voice message will go back again! WTF!
after how many centuries of searching for a solution, finally!!!! the horrible voice is gone when pressing the
stock calculator. downloaded dodol launcher and used it for 3 days and uninstalled it!
voila!

It will work on an Odexed ROM also. Just rename or delete original stock calculator apk and odex. Then flash or extract fixed calculator apk and copy to system/app and reboot! !!

Finally figured it out on my device, it's the samsung text to speech engine causing this issue. Since I'm rooted i froze it through bloat freezer and it worked perfectly. I still have google text to speech enabled and that doesn't interefere.

Package Disabler Pro!! What not to disable...?

Hey everyone! Quick question, I've read many times that "Package Disabler Pro" is the best app to disable all the bloatware.
But I have also read that if you disable all of them or use the "Disable all Bloatware" selection in the app, it causes issues with other apps and services such as samsung say and amongst others.
Can anyone help on this issue? Or is there a solution out there... saying which to disable and which not to?
Any help would be awesome! Thanks!
This is too complex question and next, some packages depends on another. E.g. you can disable ANT+ but you need it if you have a sport watch.
Generally, do not dollow colors in the application. I've found some ping packages which could be important (ANT+).
It depends on your needs/using habits, but there is some that can be disable almost always, yet still there is cases where you may need it.
Few examples:
- you can disable email application and its services since you can (and probably should unless something very specific) use Gmail instead of it (you can set up non-gmail account in Gmail app), so feel free to disable this.
-Google play movies/music/newstand/books - if you dont use these disable them.
-Galaxy apps and its services - i dont see point for this app, only uses are - for getting offers (so claim them before disabling) and galaxy care... any apps you can get on play store, so egt the offers from Galaxy apps and turn it ands its services off.
-Gear VR services - if you dont have Gear VR headset then there is no use for these services and if you get Gear VR afterwards you can just enable those services, its fast and easy.
-SHealth and its service - dont use it? feel free to disable it.
- i dont use Samsung account and its backup options (since you have same functions from google) so if you dont also, feel free to disable it and its related services.
and there is A LOT more, and it all depends on what you want/will use! BUT remember, its very simple and fast to enable them even if you disabled them, with no harm done.
Carefully Checked Before Disabling, but Galaxy S7 Keeps Rebooting
I have carefully checked everything I disabled before doing it, but now my Galaxy S7 keeps rebooting, although not always with the same results. The fact that there's no information about numerous items preloaded on this phone is totally unhelpful!
How does this app work, since it doesn't require root? And is there any chance it will trip the Knox counter on an unrooted phone? I'm very interested in it, but I don't want to lose my tap and pay or my warranty (yet).
I have posted here my extensive list of disabled packages, with no ill effects that I know of:

It doesn't require root, and doesn't affect Knox at all.

I have doubt about these:
com.sec.android.widgetapp.samsungapps (maybe Always on Display items are in Widget ? maybe, just I guess)
com.samsung.android.app.galaxyfinder (It's not about this problem but I advice enable it. This is search bar in the menu.)
com.samsung.android.app.aodservice ( edited and solved: This is Always On Display "AOD")
com.sec.factory
com.samsung.android.firmware.tsp
com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager (maybe about watch)
com.samsung.android.sm
and I see you disabled too many useful app like "Wallpaper Cropper, Galaxy Finder". Why you disable these ?
Just try it first what I wrote and check again for Always On Display

Thnx a lot, I will try this out right now, many of these packages were disabled from an xlm file I found, but some were disabled by me, most of the "useful" apps are disabled cause theres something else replacing that function already, I use quickpik for gallery and cropping, nova launcher for launcher, galaxy finder I have no idea what it does, but I've had tons of other brands and never needed anything from motorola, htc or LG, I guess I like to stick with a pure android experience, thank you for your help !

Yeah, I see on my Sony Xperia phone that has a custom ROM that there's an option on lockscreen and security that allows you to choose how long does it take for the phone to lock, not sleep but lock, in seconds, like "5 seconds after screen turns off" or "immediately after screen turns off" etc.....on my S7 it just takes forever and I can't find a similar option, sometimes I turn off the screen and after a few minutes I turn it on and it still has locked, sometimes it does it immediately, could there be a workaround ?

Replacing Phone Dialer on Nougat?

I just took the update to Nougat and I hate the little window that comes up when I receive a call on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. On Marshmallow, I had installed an old version of the Google Dialer ( v 2..05.07_rc4 I believe) but I am having trouble disabling the default dialer on Nougat. Does anyone know if it is possible to disable the default Samsung dialer on Nougat and use the Google Dialer (any version)? Or am I wasting my time?
Thanks!
re dialer
I didn't like the all white dialer in Nougat so I installed the material dark theme and that made both
the dialer and drop down menus look better. I would like the pixel dialer or something similar however
the one's I have tried (apk's) crashed.

The quick menus are dark however the notifications are not. I notice now the blue led notification doesn't seem to be
working either. Short answer no.
I did get the led notifications to work after adding an app (light manager). I expect if I erase and reset it would work but
I don't want to do that at the moment.
There is an updated version of Google Phone that works on S7E Nougat. Search for "Google Phone 4.1.135571529-nonnexus" on apkmirror. It might not be the most current version (which is 8.x) but it still works and might not be as whacky for you as the Samsung dialer. Please note that you need to also download the Google Contacts app, because if you want to disable the Samsung dialer you are actually disabling the Samsung Contacts app as this is the actual "phone" app that shows up in your app drawer. If you want to disable the Samsung phone and contacts apps make sure to not disable any of the apps listed as "phone".
Hope this helps!

Once installed you have to go to application settings and grant all permissions then choose this as default calling app

I disabled "Contacts" com.samsung.android.contacts the one with the orange icon and just that app only. I then downloaded the most current version of the dialer and I then downloaded Google Contacts version 1.6.20 which is the most current version.

Great! Thank you.
Were you able to get search results working in the dialer? That seems to be the only thing I'm lacking. Otherwise, this is awesome. Thanks again!

Is there any newer version of this dialer that syncs with contacts? Right now, the "contacts" portion of the dialer app shows every contact I've ever contacted ever rather than the customized list I have in my separate contacts app.

Hello,
Using an s7 g930f and wanting to replace the samsung dialer with the google phone dialer. The version I have is v8, I'm wanting to have ViLTE video calling ability, I'm using a rooted tw rom. I've read that the minimum version needed for the dialer is v13 or newer, I have not found a version that works on my s7, does anyone have this working?
Thanks.
