I just exchanged my incendiary AT&T Note 7 for an S7 Edge, which is also a decent phone. I'm wondering if there's a way (without rooting) to reproduce any of the following software features that I got used to on the Note 7:
Secure Folder (instead of Private Mode)
New organization/presentation of the phone's Settings
Optimization page in Settings
Custom image for always-on display
Any advice appreciated.
As of right now none of those options are available. From what I've read all those options will be available on the Nougat update. Welcome to the edge bud.

you can change the aod pic but root and xposed is required. the other options no unless there is an xposed module for them and i can not say if there is or not as im no longer rooted. welcome to the edge family btw and hope the phone treats you well, battery is awesome for me stock and all. (custom roms one day)
please when they will have the new software s7 galaxy sm-g935A
From what I have noticed they typically are releases between the 23rd and 28th of the month.

I also came from Note 7.
There is a new AOD version released today for S7 Edge and one of the changes includes the ability to set custom image.
Wish there was a way to do the sPen gif creation on the S7 Edge. Its one of the main feature I miss from the Note 7. Anyone know if there is a way to do this on the S7 Edge.

I've only had the S7 Edge for 2 days (although owned one when they first came out - it was the S7 Edge that pulled me away from the iPhone) and I am SO MISSING my Note 7. That was the best phone ever. That S-Pen GIF feature was great. I want so many of those S-Pen features which is why I went for another Note. Now we probably have to wait another year for a Note 8. I think Samsung might lose a lot of money by not getting new customers but I think the old Samsung customers (like us) will continue to purchase their products.

Not even close to the same. On the note there was a screen capture feature that recorded a 15 second gif inside of a selected area. One of the best features on the phone.

I am missing this feature a lot so today I ordered a Samsung Galaxy Tab A with S Pen. Has the same S Pen software on it as the N7. On sale right now too. $100.00 off so it's $249.99 US. + free shipping.

Hope this holds me over until the Note 8 comes out. Missing the N7 so much. Nothing compares for me.

So did any one get the VR? Just want to see if it works with the edge. I know there had been some back and forth as to whether or not it would work. I ordered one and should be here today. Wasn't sure if I should expect it tow work or not.

Someone mentioned at the Gear VR forum that the Edge does not fit well inside the VR... If it is ever supported it might need some sort of adapter.
Please let us know how it goes...I also want to buy the vr.

Get a Google Cardboard, you will see more support for it than samsung VR initially. If you think you really like VR just invest that 200 towards a real headset like the oculus for the full effect.

You can probably sell it for more than what you paid for right now. Also Gear VR even with the phone is 10000x better than google glasses ridiculous price.
not sure if this helps but this article says the note edge 'fits"
http://gizmodo.com/samsung-gear-vr-review-hell-yes-i-will-strap-this-phon-1670312012
It's worth noting here that while Samsung has pointedly said that you're not supposed to try and fit the Galaxy Note Edge in here, you totally can. I mean, it doesn't "fit" in the conventional sense, but I've crammed it in a few times without breaking anything (yet). The problem is that the Note Edge doesn't launch the Oculus app when you plug it in. I'm sure there's probably some workaround but it probably involves black magic. Or at least root access.

it "fits" but there is also a software "app" that connects the Note4 to the VR whereas the edge does not
I ordered the VR... ETA: 1 week - Germany
When it comes I will either buy the damn Note4 or the Edge
Hope the app can be ported
Or someone finds a new way

No fix for the crappy finger print reader, it sucks on this model, you should goto the 6 edge plus, finger print reader is instant, kinda like the iPhone

I don't think we'll get one. Lollipop ruined fingerprint so I think it's googles coding that broke something. Maybe Marshmallow will with the added fingerprint stuff, but by then I'll probably have another phone so it won't matter. You can always go back to kitkat if you want a working fingerprint lock lol

Hi guys,
I've sold my S7 edge (need money quickly) and now I've a poor J5, better than nothing but I miss my S7 E a lot...
Can you guys tell me if you know an app or a port of the S7 and S6 edge sidebar with contacts and apps launcher for other devices ?
Thanks a lot guys.
Best regards.

Try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neolanalang.edgescreen
It isn't as good as the s7 edge's but it should do the job. I purchased this app before when i had the galaxy note 5 but seen as though i have the s7 edge now, i have no use for it. It may have had updates since i used it and may also include features which the s7 edge's sidebar includes. Purchase the app and try it, if it isn't for you or does not work you can always refund it within 15 minutes of purchase on the play store.

I had to return my replacement Note 7 due to the overheating bs, so I ended up getting the S7 edge. Was wondering if it was anyway to get the secure folder apk from the Note 7 to install on my S7 edge

Same here bro. I think it'll be part of the upgrade to 7.0 that will include Grace UX.

Be patient, Nougat 7.0 will arrive in a few weeks for the S7 edge, with all the Grace UX goodies
Yeah I've been using myknox but not exactly what I'm looking for, I hated returning my N7, I guess I'll wait and see what happens. Thanks for the info

Tried myknox and secure folder on the Note 7. My opinion is secure folder is far more better, can't wait for it to come to s7
I downloaded AnTuTu officer to check if the phone is original or not and i got a message saying that it is high copy, is this the case with everyone because it is the snapdragon version or this is only with me ?
The G935T only comes as a Snapdragon.
You obviously were concerned about your phone possibly being a fake, so you installed the program and ran it.
Why question the results?
Tapatalk for Android - Works awesome on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
I know that it comes only with snapdragon. The phone is locked to T-mobile and it has the T-mobile boot screen so how come it is showing that it is high copy.

Maybe you post some screenshots that we can see why it is considered as fake?
change the screen resolution to the max and use it again and it will say that it is s7 edge
Xda doesnt allow me to put images or urls because i am still new user but the message i am getting is "High Copy samsung SM-G935T
Warning: The device does not match with most of the same type device."
my only explanation to this is the default/international version of s7 edge is exynos and the us version is snapdragon that's why it is showing that but can anyone confirm that? The phone looks genuine plus it is looked to T-mobile with all the default apps that T-mobile normally install it on the phone

If it is an exynos device and snapdrage rom was flashed to it, you would end up with a bricked device.
You cannot mix roms on exynos and snapdragon. The software is not compatible.
