What are you doing? trying to pad your post count? Exact same reply in three different threads about DPI, as well as your other post in the same threads asking "dears to please not use the double post..." WTF?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wikidavid:
I'm just trying these things :

1) delete double post/overflow on the forum

2) give a solution anyway.

Don't be upset, there's no reason to... Have a nice day !
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clorbag:
I also tried the same thing with no results
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banenl:
Hi,

I changed my DPI successfully by changing the first occurrence of ro.sf.lcd_density from 640 to 540 in /system/build.prop using the built-in texteditor in root explorer (and rebooting afterwards ofcourse).

Then I noticed the camera didn't work properly anymore, so I created a fix for that (see this post).

Hope you'll get it to work, it seems the same to me as on earlier devices with as exception that the ro.sf.lcd_density occurs multiple times in the build.prop file.

Cheers,

Bane.

For testing different resolutions:

- have a functional adb

- enable USB debugging on device (developer options)

- connect device to your PC via USB cable. Then start a cmd in folder containing adb.exe. Type "adb devices" (without quotes) in the command prompt to check if adb recognizes the phone

- If is OK, type "adb shell wm density ZZZ" (no quotes) where "ZZZ" is the pixel density value you want to try (default is 640)

- no reboot needed, the change is on-the-fly

- check the programs (Samsung ones - dialler, calendar, camera, launcher, etc...)

- the change will disappear when you reboot your device.

per-app DPI...not; only with Xposed, when will be available.

Once you find the desired resolution it can be inserted in build.prop
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuman72486:
I found a somewhat functional workaround for the Touchwiz apps that behave poorly on alternative dpi settings.

I frequently use Tasker on my Galaxy S6 and I set up a profile with an App context focused on Dialer, Camera, and Calculator. It has an entry task with an action Run Shell "wm density 640" with Use root checked, and an exit task with Run Shell "wm density 540" with Use root checked.

The result is when I open any of the offending apps, Tasker switches the system dpi back to 640 and then sets it to 540 again when the app closes.

Dialer and Calculator seem to handle this just fine, although Camera seems to not move the controls back to the correct position, although the camera image itself is normal size and all the buttons do click properly, even if they're in the wrong place.

What I'd suggest if you use the camera frequently is to create a shortcut to a task in Tasker that sets the dpi to 640 then launches the Camera. The exit task of the previous profile will still turn the dpi back to 540 as normal, but this way the Camera loads into 640 rather than loading at 540 and then trying to change its layout afterwards.

Hopefully this helps. (Also, obviously you can choose to replace 540 with your own selected dpi. You can also copy the design of the profile to apply to other apps that you want to simulate per-app dpi on, like running a game at 420dpi while keeping most of the system at 540)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneTruth:
Have you managed to test things out and did you find an optimal DPI that works with TW?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyJ36:
I just found and tested the app "Screen Shift" on Google Play.

It had per-app setting that automatically change when using A specific app.

Set your desired resolution/dpi as default, then change Touchwiz apps to stock (you have to set profiles).

Samsung Camera is fidgety for A second as it switches. But it works fine for me.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scully20:
you can change dpi using adb.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch3ffy:
nope change is permanent or until you change it manually or enter "reset' as the value

Hi there,

I've been a lurker of xda for a while, but I have a question that I haven't been able to resolve since googling for about two hours or so.

I have a Nexus 5 on stock 5.1, rooted.

I changed my bootanimation.zip, and in the second stage of booting, where normally the stock boot animation changes brightness, the screen goes black. How can I make it so that the bootanimation keeps going until my phone is ready to run, and it reaches the unlock screen?

This is my first post so please excuse me if I've done anything wrong.

TYIA :)

Ordered a Black 64gb Edge from Telus a couple days after preorder release

When I heard news about T-Mobile shipping early I almost wet myself and started googling for any past news where Telus shipped phones earlier...no dice !

Have already been to retail stores repeatedly just to satisfy myself while waiting
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
Haha.. Tmobile actually did what we can say is order not preorder.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DrAkO82:
Ordered a 64GB S6 Edge from Videotron.

First android devices since 5 years now...last was before my iPhone 3GS :P
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
I hope you like it. :good:
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DrAkO82:
Pretty sure i will like it.

iOS become boring and it's time to give a chance to Android. My decision is also based on the price of the Apple Watch. I want a Smartwatch and 519$ for 42mm and a "plastic" band is totally ridiculous.

My only concern is about iMessage. My wife has a iPhone, my 2 kids her iPod + we have an iPad.

Anyways, i have 14 days to try it.

BTW, anyone know if they start shipping April 10 in Canada or ship a couple of days ago to receive at home April 10 ??
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Brava27:
Anyone know the model number? I want to root this bad boy as soon as I get it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] risx:
Make sure you deregister your iMessage, otherwise, you will not get your families txt anymore
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DrAkO82:
yeah thanks for the reminder :P
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] dynot:
I preordered my 64gb black Edge from Rogers. Their community forums say that last year's preorders for the S5 shipped a couple of days prior to arrive on the launch date. It's possible it may arrive a day later and worst case the following week. It all depends on how many devices Samsung Canada sends the carriers. I would assume the same applies to Videotron.

Hope to get it on launch day or the following day. I'm out of the country for a week after that and it'll make it a long, painful wait. Playing with my new toy and watching the masters on TV...what better way to spend that weekend!:laugh:

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

At first I was going to go with the gold too but decided with black. Glad I did now that Rogers announce that they'll only be available April 30th.

At least it's not months away.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Sword Fish:
I pre-ordered a 64G Black Edge from Rogers. Hope to get it on the 10th. BTW, our model number will be SM-G920W8 for the person who asked earlier.

What number do you have? I'm at 246 and wonder how many there are in total.

I was #3 for White 64GB but changed it to the 64GB Gold Edge pre order when pre orders were announced for this colour... #5 in the queue... willing to wait til April 30th for this one... although i;m gonna get antsy waiting.. especially seeing the white and black ones people will have..
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LNJ:
Anyone know is the Black Edge reflects blue as well like the regular black S6?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] adsam3927:
Just came back from ANOTHER trip to BestBuy as I wait patiently for my 64Gb Edge.

This time I took a S6 and S6 edge and put them side by side to see any display difference

Brightness was at full....screen mode was Adaptive ( I tried all the others too ) and I made an interesting observation ...the brightness and whiteness as it were is much greater on the regular S6 !!

WTH ??

I have a feeling that manufacturing of the curved glass is the reason for this discrepancy and also possibly related to the issues with scratches being found by many T Mobile users receiving them at moment ....

Not going to lie...a little nervous about getting a defective screen on 10th !

Thoughts ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] lawtq:
So you didn't see any scratches on the edge?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
Isn't 64gb $459 on contract?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
You're totally right, it's highway robbery, bamboozlement, **** it it's rape. 32gb s6 edge is 829$ outright or 349$ + 840$ for the platinum plan over 2 years. Might as well buy it outright and get it unlocked.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] kalligraphy:
I ordered on April 10, same 32gb black, still number 103.. Tired of waiting -_-
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
Why did you order on April 10th. Why not just walk to a store to pick it up at this point?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] nate1280:
Finally got sorted with Bell, what a nightmare that was, picked up a 32GB White on Sunday, perfect out of the box, what an upgrade its been over the S3 :D

Opted for no case or screen protector, thinking about getting the Spigen Ultra Hybrid at some point.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ricomtl:
Btw, lots of Spigen cases from Amazon have shipped out recently and they don't fit - based on reviews, the slim cases were loose and did not properly fit the Edge.

I ordered the Ringke FUSION (clear) on Amazon.ca and it's awesome. Barely adds any bulk and you can still see the phone's sleek silver frame. Buttons are all protected as well...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] linuxbman:
I got the Spigen Ultra Hybrid yesterday from Amazon, and it fits perfectly.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ricomtl:
Just came across this thread, hopefully one of you guys can help out.

I got my 64GB Bell S6 Edge (SM-G925W8). I found a thread here that CF Autoroot with CF-Auto-Root-zerolte-zeroltexx-smg925f.tar worked. I did and everything went through. I did notice immediately after that my phone's battery was being drained by the Android OS. Looks like it never goes in deep sleep. I wiped out partition cache and also Davlik and behavior is still the same - I just can't get the phone to go in deep sleep.

I have Odin installed and downloaded the above files. I'm not really clear how to fix the deep sleep issue. Which file do I need to load and what are the steps involved? I also have Flashify installed in case if that is easier. I'm not super familiar with all the terminology as this is only my 2nd rooted phone, and I try to proceed with caution. I especially don't want to wipe out the phone's content by flashing the wrong stuff!

Thks for the help in advance :)

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
I got my Spigen slim case 3 weeks before I got the phone and it was a bit loose. I did receive a new case last week without ever contacting them. I too got the Rinke fusion and I must say that it's the best possible case for this phone. It's both slim and offers the protection of bumpers, button and port covers. It's just an all around great case for those who just want one case. Rinke fusion ftw!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ricomtl:
Yup. I see Amazon reviews were updated indicating that Spigen replaced all cases shipped when the phone came out...

I also went ahead and ordered the Rinke fusion (clear)... l love it! It barely adds any bulk and you can still see the phone's beautiful design. :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] kalligraphy:
If you reserved it through rogers reservation system, they would give the samsung wireless charger for free
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
I bought casemate case feom best buy with 20% off for about $28. It fits perfectly fine and is very nice.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
The issue is caused by having a non-stock recovery. The root package you flashed, includes recovery for the Intl. S6 Edge (925F) and not the Canadian variant (925W8). For some reason this is causing the phone to not sleep properly.

Download the following file. Unzip it. Then flash the recovery.tar.md5 file using ODIN by AP mode the same way you did the CF-Root package. Doing so will replace your recovery with the stock recovery from the Canadian variant.

Link: http://www44.zippyshare.com/v/naSJ53kN/file.html
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ricomtl:
:angel: it worked - I was just afraid of flashing it and bricking since I have no clue what these things are lol!

It rebooted and I see deep sleep is now working. Finally!

Hopefully my battery will go through a full day now.

Many thanks again.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Glad it went well. The partitions you want to stay away from flashing unless necessary are BL/CP as they contain bootloader and radio. Also EFS is another partition you don't mess around with unless you know what you're doing. As long as you have a functioning bootloader and can make it to Download Mode, you should be fine in terms of recovering from a soft-brick.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] nate1280:
Thanks for the info on the Ringke fusion, will check that one out to when I look at cases more.

I'm a very light phone user, and I gotta say, this S6 edge has been great so far, going on 2d without a charge and ~18h still remaining (estimated).
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
Anyone with Rogers managed to get suretap working?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] risx:
nope, i contacted rogers about the issue & they said it is a known problem that they are working on

hoping samsung pay will be a good replacement, if it ever comes to canada
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jazenf:
Would this file root my phone as well, I'm with rogers?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Nope. That file contains the stock kernel and recovery.

To root, you have to use the CF AutoRoot package for SM-G925F (International S6 Edge). Boot back into system and once you can confirm root, flash the recovery package from the file I uploaded to get deep sleep back.

Stoc firmware without brand for galaxy s6 edge sm-g925w8

Hello to everybody

Anyboy can help me?

I need stock firmware for the Galaxy S6 edge SM-G925W8 without any linked- Brand ( start up animation, logos, App), I see in the XDA homepage that are available several firmwares but branded ( Rogers, bell, virgin)

thanks for the help
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
W8 comes branded only, you should get G925F if you want unbranded.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
You can try using the BTU firmware for G925F and see if you can flash only the system. The kernel will have no audio during call so you'll need to use a T-Mobile/W8 kernel from the Rogers stock image.

I haven't tested this so do this at your own risk.

Help

I have S6 edge on Rogers network G925W8, and I was trying to root it using chainfire's g925f, midway process My Phone got disconnected from odin and IDK why, now screen stuck and saying "Error occured while updating. Use the Emergency recovery function on smart switch. But the thing is my smart switch app can't detect my phone anymore, it says Unsupported Device. :( I even try to use kies and kies 3 but they are looking for recovery code, I don't even know where to get that, kies and smart switch didn't give me any code, I even tried software update and initialization, and it's looking for a S/N but I don't know what's the serial number of my phone, I can only see IMEI on box and my receipt.

Sm-g925w8 stock firmware without brand

thanks for reply

I have a SM-G925W8 Factory unlocked, non branded, no logo ( only 3 apps from bell). No carrier /logo animation in the starup menú or in the backcover, 128Gb

5 language options only ....no italian, portuguese, spanish, German....

If I place a stock firmware from bell, or telus or Rogers..... will my phone be branded and will show the logos in the startup? could be it show more language options?

thanks again
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
Idk if you know, but Canadian carriers never have a startup logo or any king of logos on the hardware. If you flash any w8 firmware you will only get few apps installed, that you already have. So you don't have unbranded phone but a phone from bell which is unlocked.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Ricardo_G:
S6 edge sm-g925w8

I did not know! thanks for explain me

but, do you know what stock firmware could be equivalent and working to SM-G925W8? I tried with the stock firmware from the SM-G925F from UK ( from sammobile) without Brand operator via ODIN and not Works ( either italy or Germany or Spain F/ws)

Do you know how to enable more languages? I has root my device and some apps help for that but the UI not change ( only five languages available)

Again, thanks for your help

Wait for custom Roms I would say.. G925F firmware would give you lots of issues like call audio not working etc. Just wait for the roms and you would be good.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] 850RPM:
finally the phone arrived today after 2 days lost in UPS storage/truck/shop , whatever.

first impression: phone looks great, no scratch, no faulty pixels, updated fast at first wifi connection.

looks like Rogers didn't put lots of stupid apps in, just my rogers, some NHL thing and another one or two; and they did send the wireless charger they said.

bad thing, the Spigen case I bought it's a little bit loose, it's looks great but I don't know if I'll keep it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
Yeah Spigen effed the pooch on that one. They sent me a replacement case which is basically the same case with a piece of tape on the back, that does nothing. Rinke fusion is where it's at brother.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] 850RPM:
yeah, looks nice;

does it fit OK on the phone? I might order one asap;

any screen protector to consider? I normally use with care, what I'm worried is the keys the same pocket with the phone;
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
Rinke fusion ftw my friend I highly recommend it. For the screen I actually have the Spigen flex HD. It's edge to edge. I really like it. Won't say it's the best but I like it.

Freshly rooted and restored the stock recovery on my Telus S6e to prevent any sleep problems! I'd like to install xposed but I don't know if it's a safe idea without a custom recovery.. your thoughts? Are there any custom recoveries available to us that don't trigger the deep sleep issue?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
Xposed does not require any custom recovery but as far as I know it's not yet compatible to samsung devices due to touchwiz. I could be wrong about the compatibility part though, last time I checked was about a month ago.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] malyfsborin88:
Fido S6 here running 5.0. I'm so shocked that it doesn't have alphabetical sorting in the app drawer. I saw online that it is carrier specific issue and that the US versions have this option beside the "Edit". So far I know UK and Canada has this problem. Already hating Lollipop, don't fix what ain't wrong aka Kitkat. See attached screenshot.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
That's basically samsung's way of being fanboy friendly to those coming from Apple. The also have app settings in the applications tab. Just like iPhone. Since when do you need to change settings from outside of an app on android. Smh...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] androidvergen:
Hello everyone, This is my first Android device and I am eager to get it rooted. I have been an Iphone user from day 1 so my knowledge of how Androids work is very limited. I d/ld the 925w8 stock file that someone posted a few pages back and also I have odin 10.6 installed along with the samsung usb drivers. I can connect the phone to the pc and it appears in odin but neither the cf auto root file 920t or 925f will write. After I hit start the program pauses for a sec then it starts but right after it fails. I have tried the different check box options as well as the usb debugging option and also ran it as admin and nothing will get it to write. I am unsure of what to try next and any advice, other then going back to an iphone, would be well appreciated, Thanks.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
To be quite frank this is possibly the worst device to learn rooting on and I mean even for seasoned flashers such as myself. The best piece of advice I could give you is, be patient. Wait until there is a custom recovery available and some roms too. You risk bricking your phone brother. Download Nova launcher and tweak away for now but don't try rooting just yet.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LinS123:
I've been trying to get my hands on a S6 edge from Wind, but they're not in stock anywhere.

I'm getting frustrated and I don't want to switch to Rogers/Bell/Telus cause the plans are ridiculous. 60-80 dollar base plans with anything from 0-300mb of data and then like 15-20 dollar data add-ons.
