Hi,
I ve seen some S8 rom ports for the S7 Edge but what I m looking for is to make my S7 Edge look like the original S8 software. Is this possible?
The S7 and S8 nougat versions are all essentially the same, with minor differences in stock apps and AOD. If you are talking about the stock apps, there are plenty of forums for those. If you talking about the launcher, I have forums on the new weather widgets and there are forms for the new launcher. Hope this helps, but just do a little searching and you'll find what you need, a while new form is a lil unnecessary .

Hi,
I have never used one of the edge phones before, and was wondering if the display notifications on the edge of the screen only work with Touchwiz?
i normally use nova launcher on my S5 and was wondering if i will lose out on any features if i continue to when buying the S7 edge?
Cheers

AFAIK, the edge notifications are only available with screen off, with the screen on you get the default heads up notifications of android 6.0, so no, they aren't launcher dependent. But you'll need a stock based ROM though (which anyways isn't a case atm, because there aren't any others, but still).
Using Apex launcher with full edge functionality without issues.
Why install Nova or Apex? Are they faster? What do they offer what Touchwiz does not? I personally don't like the way Touchwiz/icons looks but saw you can make it look like stock Android 6 with a simple theme change.
Grid size/number change on app drawer and home screen, all widgets resize possibility, put one widget under the other one (cross them), a lot of beautiful themes/icon packs that touchwith don't have, ios 6 like folders design, transparent status bar, animation...
BTW, Miui ROM has amazing design, so there is MIUI 5 and MIUI 7 - ICON PACK by tung91 on Play Market with hundreds miui icons. The first one is free and it´s similar to donate version.
Yes obviously

No, I use nova and it works fine.
In viewing screenshots from across the S7 Edge forums I see that a number of users area apparently using the stock Launcher.
I've been a long term Nova user --- Just wanted to see if I am missing something from the experience in not suing the stock Launcher on my new S7 Edge ??

Personally I don't think you're missing much. I am also a long-time Nova user, but every couple of months I switch back to the stock launcher for the same reason; to see if I'm missing anything. Haven't yet found any reason to stay with stock and I always switch back to Nova with in a day or so.
I also use Nova, it provides so many extra features that Touchwiz does not. I would stick with Nova.

The sole reason I stick with the stock launcher is the S-planner widget...
HI guys
I looked around but could not find, i want to update my edge lightning on S8 (Batman 1.5) to the Note 8 version?
Is there any APK or .zip for flashing, i only found packs, which makes it difficult as i only want edge lightning...
Recently my S6 Edge Plus has been having battery drain problems and instead of just reinstalling it I have decided to put a custom ROM on it. My previous phone was a Galaxy S5 and there were a plenty of ROMs available on XDA back then. Now that I have the S6 Edge Plus I really can't find a ROM that suits me and is still supported or has reviews and stuff like that. So I have decided make this new thread and just ask you for recommendations. I am actually a fan of Samsung's UI and apart from the bloatware apps (Facebook, Whatsapp and lot of Samsung crap that constanly autoupdates) I quite like it and would like to countinue using it. I am looking for a ROM that is basically stock samsung one but has battery improvements and some other extras (also prerooted would be nice). I saw a lot of ports from the newer Galaxy devices but I am not a huge fan of them because the UI is usually made for the new 18:9 display and the corners are rounded and I really dont like that. I searched for a ROM like that but couldn't really find one so I need your help

I checked it out but saddly it is the exact opposite of what I am looking for. I'd like to keep my phone stock and only get the battery improvements abd other little extras. I am not really into ported ROMs from other devices.
Hi, I'm looking for a good custom ROM for my S7 Edge, I love AOSP ROMS, but there is always a problem with the camera or with some app like WhatsApp.
Right now I'm using light ROM OREO, but I can't use apps like Disney plus, I think it hast to do with the CSC, but I haven't found a way to easily change it.
I'm open to options, and hope to see some
Thanks
Maybe you should trie a GSI Rom, you know, take advantage of the capability of the s7
