I guess that if they planned to release it for our device, they would have done it together with the s6/s6e. I do hope someone will port it tho.. I mean, how hard could it be to port something from normal s6e to s6e+, they basically have the same hardware except for the RAM. IR blaster and screen size...
should be getting Marshmallow in January but its seems like galaxy s6 got it before note 5 and s6edge plus,

Dear Devs...

Hello There,
I know it's a bit early. But do you think the S7 Edge will get a good backup for ROMS, root,etc...?
I love my note 5, but i am thinking of buying the S7 Edge... as it has a bigger screen than the S7 and i got used to handle a 5'5 screen and don't wish to go down. As i like my phones to be rooted (for various reasons), i was wondering which one of the two will get more love.
Best,
SAO.
The Galaxy S7 Edge is lovely lovely.
It is similar to the previous model , but I have had on my hand and it is just great.
Anyway , your Note 5 is a great phone
regards
I`am planning to buy the S7 Edge too, but the Exynos 8890 powered device (as in Europe where i live) will not get as much love as the SD 820 powered one for the America`s for instance.

The Exynos scource code is not as open scource as Qualcomm cpu`s so devs have a hard time and are not very eager regarding developing for the Exynos chipset

Anyone know ROM/kernel (S7 Edge US Version) that's compatible with Samsung Gear VR?

Hello all,
So recently I've been applying rom and kernel to my S7 Edge US version. To my dismay it seems that the Samsung Gear VR isn't doing so well with the rom/kernel that I applied. Before I applied the rom/kernel, the Gear VR would simply plug and play just fine. Now after I applied the rom/kernel, the Gear VR would lay extremely bad.
Can anyone recommend what rom/kernel I should get for my S7 Edge US version that would be compatible with Gear VR?
Thank you.

SAMSUNG Experience 8.1 on S7 Edge ?

Okay today I saw on Sammobile that A3 2017 starts receiving nougat and some people reported that they got new S8 UI or Samsung Experience 8.1. I really want that on S7 Edge but the question is when and will Samsung release it ?
What you guys think ?
Not yet. But there are full port rom of the Galaxy s8 for s7/s7 edge. Here is the one I use:

Vodafone Australia has confirmed Android 7.1 for the Galaxy S8 / S8 +. With a bit of luck, the Galaxy S7 / S7 edge will also receive this update with Samsung Experience 8.1. Anyway, that's what I hope
It is very disappointing to see that top samsung phones like the s7 edge have not got the samsung experience 8.1 ui, whilst phones like A5 or A3 have already got it.
Why is that? S7 edge has better processor, more capabilities and used to be the last year's samsung flagship. Why would samsung decide to push this update firstly to the A series rather than the S7 edge...
Maybe I'm missing something? But am I the only one that thinks that Samsung Experience is much the same as the S7s' Touchwiz? The only difference I can tell is icons and widgets. It looked like they just changed the name + a little update and marketed well just to lose the bad rep that Touchwiz got. And for context I am a bit of a Samsung Galaxy fanboy, so I'm not hating on Samsung.
No, android 7.1 will not be released for s7 series nor for s8 series, its sad but its the truth, 7.1 for s8 on vodafone was a typing mistake, our s7 edge will only get latest ui with oreo update next year around april-may
Sent from my S7 Edge using XDA Labs
i hope we get Samsung Experience 8.5 instead of 8.1
i think Android Oreo will be coming so where in May or June.
May or June? maybe at that time l'm no longer using my s7e anymore...

Galaxy S7 Edge HDMI

Hello,
So I already am aware that the S7 Edge does not support MHL. Some people say that the MHL official adapter from Samsung for the S5 works, but I don't know for sure nor do I think it will.
Despite this, I went looking and found out about Slimport cables. They are the same concept but, to my understanding, different and insuperior technology to MHL. But does Slimport work on the Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge? I could not find an answer to this through Google as all the links redirected me to either LG phones or MHL cables.
I don't think it will work, but I am curious and want to know if someone has tried it and if it was successful?
Thanks
According to this list, no:

Only the Galaxy S8 does.
I own an S5 MHL adapter and it doesn't work with the S7 edge. I was disappointed too.
Dowant support the s4 any.ore either samsung did something to their phones lol
