It's Dolphin browser it seems. Uninstall it and use stock or chrome or Firefox

Hi
Thanks again
No ,what you see is because I had opened dolphin browser while taking the snap shot
Anyway I tried to do that u installed dolphin does not work
Possibly done notification setting could be the culprit let me uninstall wannam

My bad (note to self stop posting half asleep) It'll be toast notificatons set to on everytime an app runs, seen someone else post about it before, it could be wanam yes

Hi
Thanks for your interest
The culprit was All apps in play store -one of the xposed modules.

Android Pay can't be used

So Android Pay isn't working on my device I get the following error
"Android Pay can't be used
Google is unable to verify that your device or the software running on it is android compatible"
I was using it before without issue, then it just stopped working. I have even factory reset my device and I still am not able to get it to work. And no I have not used Package Disabler to remove anything, in fact, I do not even have it on my phone. And I am obviously not and have not previously rooted since (last I saw) it's not even an option.
Any thoughts?

That's your issue right there lol
You'll have to disable it to use android pay.
One of my friends had the same issue, you'll most likely have to wipe cache and data for android pay after you disable condensed mode

Thanks for your help good sir, I am sorely disappointed that this is happening. I love the condensed look....

I have the same issue with condensed dpi. Anyway, Samsung Pay works better.

Galaxy s8 TouchWiz runing on S7 edge

My galaxy S7 install new TouchWiz home v6.0 s8 apk from here http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/touchwiz-home/touchwiz-home-6-0-77-release
New TouchWiz not support Briefing or Upday (swip to left from first page)
How to?

I install that on my s7 edge, now my mobile is half blocked, New Touch wiz doesn't want to start... What to do? I can't install older version, saying that file is corrupted

You need clear application data from setting->applicaltion->touchwiz home. If you want back to old touchwiz home, go to application setting, tap options and uninstall update

Is this working? I wanna try
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers Legacy app

someone can confirm it works?

It works great. I installed it in both mine, and my brother's s7e. In my s7 edge it worked flawlessly. In my brother's s7e the phone started to freeze, so I went to apps > touchwiz home and cleared the data and cache. All is working perfect now.

I can't install it. Says it pre exists

You can try clear data and cache of TouchWiz home application, Uninstall update if update has been installed

yes, you can freeze Metok. I don't know what is it, something related to xiaomi framework
about MBN Test, I think it is Qualcomm config and test for network modem. I remember that I saw it from some hidden menu.
You can freezing check by yourself, in case something went wrong, use this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46437840&postcount=12 to unfreeze
I used it when I try to freeze google core app in global rom. lol
