I am getting my Note 5 on Tuesday and am looking for suggestions on cases. Right now I have a Spigen neo hybrid on my s6 but I don't like how scratched the back has become. However I don't want to hide the beauty of this phone.

Suggestions?

I got the incipio dual pro shine, but for you I think a clear tpu is best, all others will scratch. Sgp has that might be called liquid crystal if I remember correctly.

Yes me to also but I use the supacase version less bulk same protection to me but slimmer and less than half the price I love this case

I hate cases, but am using the spigen ultra thin liquid crystal clear tpu case.

Phone still looks good, and very little bulk added.

I will never own or use an Otterbox... Way too bulky for my tastes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] anastatow:
I just got the Obliq clear case with kickstand. Very happy with it thus far. It doesn't add much to the bulk of the phone, seems to offer good protection, is clear and allows the beauty of the phone to show through, retains the curve of the phone, and has a kickstand that functions well. I'd highly recommend it!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] animal7296:
Thank you for all your responses. They are all great options. I used to only use otterbox defenders but with phones getting better looking I like to see them. I am leaning towards with the Spigen or obliq now. Unfortunately it won't be delivered till tomorrow and I still haven't ordered a case so I hope I can keep it in good shape till I do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] anastatow:
Just a heads up. I discovered that the Obliq case uses a magnet to keep the kickstand shut and it was causing the spen to not work where it was. I'm trying to find a way to dampen it so I can continue using the case
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] animal7296:
Thanks for the heads up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] PrsnlCrcl:
I purchased the Samsung protect case today from T-Mobile. It is by far the most minimal case I have seen...the sides of the phone are completely open. It is not cheap, but I am loving it so far!

Got a Unicorn Beetle PRO Series for the my wife and I. Very solid case with built-in screen protector for those who are rough on their phone.

Could you possibly post some pics of it in the case? If love to see non-stock photos of it.

Apologize for the late reply, here's pics of hers in blue/gray mine in all black.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] RJV3:
I'm leaning toward the obliq clear case with kickstand. I used the Otterbox Defender for my note 4. Offered great protection, but wanted something less bulky and with built in kickstand. Had a blue seido surface case and was a great case for note 4. Also needed something a bit more "professional" looking while at work so bought the wireless s view case. My note 5 will come in tomorrow and ordered the note 5 s view case. The link for the obliq case says "new revised version "but will ship in 2 to 4 weeks?anyone confirm this.

Btw,shout out to Holla 420. Haven't seen you here since running hyperdrive rls 20 for gs4.

Pulled the trigger on the Otterbox commuter case and using the zagg Invisible shield tempered glass screen protector. My wife is using the same but with the Kate spade case. Still have the oblique case coming in.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sand1303:
Ok so i got my edge plus yesterday. Been using the regular s6 for a few months now and in the xda app there is a actual menu button with 3 dots that kinda hovers down at the bottom. Well on my plus it isnt there. Cant figure out how to being up the menu. If i hold back with a longpress it just starts backing out. Holding home brings up google now. And holding the task brings up multiwindow.

My problem is i cant bring up the menu to create a new thread. Thats why im posting this on my s6 rather than my edge.

Is it something simple im just overlooking?

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekerbuddyeker:
I wrote about this over in the Note 5 forum. Nonfiction except to use the XDA premium app, which I think is inferior.

Actually the sad thing is that there's so little one can do to the locked device that I stuck to the free version and it doesnt matter as I hardly have a need to create new forums like the old days (where are you now, HD2???).
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sand1303:
Ya that just backs u out. No menu longpress as of right now which sucks
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclypse3demons:
Here is the temp fix guys the problem is a lot of apps detect if there is a hardware menu button and omit showing the soft 3 dot button common in a lot of apps. The S5 has no dedicated menu button but it does have the long press home button option to launch the More options/Menu button, however out Galaxy S6 models do not have this option. BUT some apps still detect it and delete their in app button.

Here is the fix I figured out that works in this situation and it would be good to pass this on or write up a document.

Go to phone settings => Accessibility => Dexterity and interaction => Assistant Menu.

At the top right slide the off button to on to enable the Assistant menu icon on all screens. Then click on the Edit option. In the edit menu deselect all the buttons you do not need by hitting the red negative on the icons (-) in the upper part of the screen. (note it has two buttons that you cannot remove Home Screen, and Menu Settings) on the bottom half of the page hit the green plus sign (+) on the More Options button (It has 3 dots).

Now on all screens is a little round button with 4 dots on it, it appears on all screens in all programs and is floating. There is the More options button now which is the software menu button we are missing =). You can just go back and disable Assistant menu afterward or like me leave this handy button on because I have multiple programs that do this.

Hope this helps guys Cheers!

Yeah I tried that it did not work in the app that I run that I could not get to the menu with, I will try another program and see if I can get that to work. I also tried many of the other options I could find through the searches. See the reply above mine in this thread.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] aizac101:
Hi,

It seems that whenever I import PNG images to my phone, they appear blurry and pixelated whenever I view them in the gallery. However, they look fine on my computer and in Google Drive (whenever I upload it). This issue didn't arise until I updated to 5.0.2, and I thought it was going to be a one time thing, but still, the images appear blurry and pixelated. Zooming in and out of the photo doesn't help, either.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Nearly half of my photos are in PNG, and I'm pretty sure converting them all to JPEG will take a long time (and it will be quite a hassle, too).

I've attached sample photos of my problem (don't judge. I have my own likes, too :o). First photo is when it is viewed in the gallery app, and the second photo is when it has been uploaded to Google Drive. It's very weird, too, because my screenshots are all in PNG and are clear and sharp when viewed, and yet when other PNG images are viewed in the gallery, they appear pixelated.

Hoping someone can help!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] aizac101:
Edit: I've tried clearing the cache and data of the gallery app, as well as deleting the .thumbnails folder in the DCIM folder and rebooted it. Still no luck. :crying:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Morningstar:
Howdy, everyone...

This is a custom class (extending ImageView) I made that will enable you to add a background/wallpaper to the notification panel, without effecting the lockscreen. If you use this (or any derivative thereof) in any release, please give proper credit and shoot me a link to the release...

How To Use

Download the linked zip file.

Decompile your SystemUI.apk.

Extract the zip file, and copy the entire "morningstar" folder to /smali/com/android in your decompiled apk.

Place your background image into the appropriate drawable folder.

Open /res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml, and immediately following the line with the namespace declarations, add the following:

<com.android.morningstar.NotiPanelBG android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/your_background_drawable" />

Example:

*Note: This class accepts all standard ImageView attributes, so adjust to fit your specific needs.

Recompile, push to your device, set permissions to RW-R-R, and reboot.

***Note***

You may have to make the layout change in one of the specific resolution layout folders, rather than in the main layout folder, depending on your device.

Screenshots

Notification panel expanded while device is unlocked:

...And while locked (The black & white image is my lockscreen background):

Download

Enjoy!

only a question , i have a s6 device and i noticed that when i open the pulldown when i already open the lockscreen .. is all ok like this screen

but if i open the pulldown before to open the lockscreen i get this

i think need to add your line in another xml for keyguard

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Uchiha_Dev:
what is namespace declaration ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Morningstar:
Oops. Sorry. Probably should have explained that in a slightly more user-friendly way lol.

The namespace declarations are simply the bits near the top of layout xmls that begin with "xmlns". For example:

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

i figured it out 5-6 days ago, thanks anyways

Glad you got it figured out. Sorry I wasn't able to reply sooner. Been really busy all week, and haven't hardly had time to get on XDA. :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Uchiha_Dev:
no problem, the reason I got confused was because I stated android:backgroud in two place one in your code and the other in the actual status_bat_expanded.xml code (above namespace declaration) and because of that the image won't go off of the lock screen. So I thought that namesapce declaration was something else
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] and2:
Hello [MENTION=293887]Morningstar[/MENTION],

thank you for this custom class mate. The part about "not effecting Lockscreen" does this means the notification panel in lockscreen or also the wallpaper of the lockscreen. In short i have implemented a class for blured effect of the notification wallpaper and as you know since lollipop if you change the BG for the NPB it also changes the lockscreen wallpaper. like in the attached pics. Is it possible to merge those bothe smalis, so i have a blured NPB withou effecting the Lockscreen? I attached the smali for blured effect and if you have timeand muse to have a look - thank you. If not - still the same mate.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LazerOrca:
1. TWRP is up

2. baseband G920R4TYU2BOF7/HW version G9020R4.02

3. No Mods

4. Rooted

So I tried flashing the Vader ROM, I was getting boot loops at the language selection screen. I go back and restore from backups my original stuff. Boot back up and now I'm getting the lovely "process.com.google.gapps has stopped" error. I'm assuming that I may need to find gapps for 5.1.1? I also tried flashing XtreStoLite ROM with the Aroma add on. Everything seemed to be working great with the exception of the data and no signal, which I am to assume is because I'm not using the correct carrier-specific stuff.

Go to download the stock ROM for my phone, and I keep getting an error as well. Odin won't flash it. One thing that I noticed is that the stock rom was 5.0.2 where when I got the phone 3 days ago it came with 5.1.1.

At this point, I'd like to be able to get it back to stock if possible. I jumped the gun and started flashing all sorts of things without checking to see if it would even for with a USCC galaxy s6. Any help would be much appreciated.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Owtbound:
Hello everyone,

So I'm hoping someone can figure out what I did, cause my phone is now half of what it used to be. I have the latest update (G900PVPU3BOF6) on the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5, and I rooted it 3 days ago the day after it's birthday (didn't want to trip Knox before the warranty was up!).

I didn't notice it at first, but then I realized that things were not working right on my phone. I haven't done really anything with my root except remove a couple of stock apps I didn't want (that should have been safe to, like Flipboard). Basically, unless it's a system app (ie. Google Play, Facebook, Camera, etc.) the app cannot save or access the internal memory or external SD card... Fallout Shelter stopped working completely, SMS Backup and Restore won't backup anywhere, Amazon Appstore won't update and immediately fails, Glitchr crashes when I try to save images... it's obvious that some form of permissions to the file system got seriously mucked up. But I'm not sure what to do to fix the issue.

I am open to doing a stock restore, but ONLY after I get a backup on my SMS and if it's a last resort.

Anyone have any suggestions, or even come across this before?

Thank you all in advance! :)

My understanding is that you can not install OTA updates of any type once you have TWRP installed. You will have to restore your phone to stock to do so. Read this thread to learn about this, and follow the link to get an image of the system if you didn't make your own back (use at your own risk! I have not done this myself - read the thread for more information).
