[Xposed General] AJHylton:
I've used the code and it actually worked, I was just trying to run some modules that weren't working but now everything besides snapprefs does. I guess the difference is every time I boot my phone up I get a toast showing that SELinux has been set to permissive whereas you wouldn't if you edit the boot image. But thanks for your help though.

And hard bricked because the bootloader was locked and there was no software on there, all I could get into was Fastboot mode. I accidentally turned off 'Allow OEM unlocking' on the stock ROM and went to flash a new ROM, after wiping everything it just got stuck in a bootloop and wouldn't go into recovery, I tried so many steps and toolkits to try and fix it but because I couldn't get into the bootloader I couldn't flash anything. I'm going to be honest and say that I have absolutely no idea what it was that actually fixed it but after trying so many different things for 6 hours I did something and it rebooted perfectly fine but with wiped internal storage.

Never again am I troubling that toggle lol, that was scary ****
[Xposed General] cr1cr1:
Well I will try also with just the script (without altering the boot partition) and see if it works - though I have tried many things like that, including issuing the setenforce 0 at any time and did not work for me.

Also, I have seen that Boeffla Kernel app has an option to disable SELinux: it sets /sys/fs/selinux/enforce to 0

Anyway, glad that worked for you, and even more glad you managed to unbrick your phone.

I have bricked my HTC One by accidentally deleting the sbl1 partition :))) and struggled a lot to recover via software, but the qualcomm tools are way too cryptic and poorly documented.
[Xposed General] AJHylton:
How do you know that your SELinux isn't being changed, is it Xposed modules you're trying to run also or something else? Download Termux and run the code I pasted earlier, reboot your phone and type getenforce and it should say permissive. As soon as that says permissive then the problem is with what you're trying to do, not the SELinux. I haven't seen that kernel but I've recently flashed the Exodus ROM on my OnePlus Two and there's a toggle on there if you'd consider switching ROMs.

Wow I don't really know too much about partition tables but I know its not good to have deleted that lol, having a quick look you could possibly have a read of these two threads (if you haven't already) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2632477 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2632736

But it seems like if you can get into fastboot there may be a fix.

Good luck
[Xposed General] cr1cr1:
It is possible to be what you say, I will give it a try with the next update of OxygenOS.

I would rather stick with Oxygen as it is quite stable and I am happy with the amount of customizations I have plus that I do not have that much time to spend on this right now :)

Thank you for the links, as you can imagine, I have tried a lot :) No, there is no fastboot as the first essential partitions are gone and apparently only a direct write to the emmc memory would solve the problem.

This means 2 things: either managing to work with the qualcomm tools to do it, and I couldn't so far... or going to a repair shop and having the phone open and write to the emmc via JTAG.

If you open an HTC M7 ... well, you cannot really put it back in a pretty manner.

However, bricking my M7 was a good excuse to have an Oneplus 2 that I absolutely love :)

All the best to you!

I know the galaxy line pretty much offers floating SMS pop up as a mod for most the s5 s6 note models. Is the same mod possible or available for stock or any ROM on the 6p?

The only thing I don't like is acruwokt having a SMS pop up as a box when it comes thru instead of a message icon header in status bar .

Or any newer released 2

Secondary text apps that do this ?

I always like Tech 21 cases but how is the texture of the LUVVITT compared to the Tech 21?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] berfles:
Great reviews, thanks. I picked up the Luvvitt as a fill in for my Neo Hybrid from Spigen since those are backordered, sounds like I may just keep it on there for awhile though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] sanjay228:
Thanks for the reviews! I currently have the Rugged Spigen case on my phone while I wait for the Tech21 to be delivered. The texture looks similar to the one for the GS5. I had that case on my GS5 since the first day I owned it and it was hands down the best case I have ever owned. At first I figured their shockproof technology was going to be gimmicky but I seriously can't even count how many times I dropped my S5 in circumstances where the screen should have cracked, and not once did anything happen. Along with a high quality tempered glass protector, you cannot go wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Redflea:
This is a great thread, thanks very much for the info and real-life pictures, so well done and helpful.

I was thinking about going w/a clear case for my S7 Edge - I pre-ordered the silver version, and would like to actually be able to see the phone rather than the case. I haven't used a clear case before, and your comments about dust caught my eye.

One of the reasons I ordered the silver, is I have owned a couple silver cars and they were the absolute best for hiding cosmetic flaws, dust, dirt, etc. Stuff that would stand out on a darker color are not noticeable or at least much less of a visual issue on silver.

Can you talk some more about what you mean about clear cases and dust issues? Are you saying that dust collects inside the case and is visible and looks bad? That's the only thing I can think of that is different from an opaque case - where you'd only see external dust.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Well mine is silver as you can see and the best way to describe it is a mirror. The phone is the embodiment of a mirror for better or worse, so a clear case amplifies the effectiveness of the back. I'll post my ultra hybrid review so you can see that clear case as well; I personally prefer frosted style cases to avoid the glare until my vinyl wraps (skins ) arrive. The Ringke has a lanyard loop on it, so dust gets under the case from that area. The Spigen still gets dust under it too, but it depends on where you keep the phone. I usually have mine in my pocket, so dust loves getting in the clear cases. It doesn't look good, and can lead to scratches on the back of your phone depending on the composition of the dirt. If you look at the pictures of my Incipio Octane (frosted back) vs the Ringke you can see the huge difference between how dust shows in either one. I always take care of my phones, but its difficult with such a reflective back on the S7E.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Redflea:
Thanks, Pilz, I was viewing this discussion on my phone earlier, so it was harder to see what you were referring to. On my laptop now and I can see what you're talking about.

I'm quite torn...I really wanted to have a clear case this time. I'll look forward to you next reviews and have to think about this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I added the Ultra Hybrid to the OP. I tried to take more pictures of that one and the Ringke without getting any dust under, but it seems to like sticking to my phone or the case even if I use a lens wipe on it. I don't have this problem with my 6P case from Ringke or Spigen, so maybe its just how the S7E has a glass back. A TPU clear case might be a better bet like Spigens crystal one, but I'll have to get one to see.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] tbutler318:
What do you think of the Samsung case, Galaxy S7 Edge 2 Protective Cover, on the Samsung website? It looks thin and clean with decent protection in the corners. I would post the link but I'm under the post limit to add links, I apologize.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I'm not a fan of any of Samsungs cases. They don't really offer s lot of protection , pkus they're expensive for what you're getting. Are you talking about the Samsung Clear case or the leather one?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] AngelaRI:
I have the Spigen Liquid Crystal Semi-Transparent Soft Case - phone came out of it's box and directly into the case, and I'm very impressed with it so far - fits perfectly, snug and slim, easy to hold, not too slippery.

My only very minor gripe would be that it shows fingerprints very quickly, but that's pretty much to be expected with any kind of glossy case I guess. Overall, love it!

Got it from Amazon UK for a very good price
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I have one on order, so I'll add it to the OP. I hope it turns out well for me too
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] tbutler318:
Clear case. It looks nice, although expensive, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I'll probably end up getting a few different cases with the S7, but if the Samsung case is surprising in one way or another I'll post about it. I'm pretty careful with my phone, my current s5 looks fairly new :o
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I try to be careful, but I alwyas end up dropping my phone :( I'll post about the 4 new cases I'm getting as they arrive too. I really want the camera one
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] angelis:
I'd suggest adding if the phone and case works with the VR unit. I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid and it won't fit into the Gear VR unit. Taking it off and putting it on just a few times started messing with my iArmor TPU screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I'll gladly do that whenever Samsung ships my VR. I don't like taking my phone out of its case unless I'm switching cases, or cleaning it, so that would be an issue for me. I will add a section to my table in post #2 for Gear VR compatibility.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] JaredC01:
Got my Slickwraps Dark Lord skin in yesterday, threw it on the phone (absolutely perfect fit by the way) along with the Neo Hybrid Crystal, and a couple drops of super glue on the side pieces to keep them from bowing. Works a treat!

We'll see how often I have to remove the case for dust build-up before jumping too high for joy though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
It looks great! I'm glad the wrap fit as planned; I currently have the silver carbon installed on my titanium S7E
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
The Dual Pro Shine has a brushed metal finished back panel unlike the soft touch one on the Dual Pro. Then there's the inner TPU, on the Dual Pro Shine it has a glossy finish around the front, and overall feels stiffer. The regular Dual Pro has a nice soft touch finish on the back, and a TPU that is solid, yet still allows the buttons to be pressed easily.

Edit: I also have a Supcase Beetle enroute because I like their cases, and I wanted one to match my 6P

Got the Ringke FUSION SMOKE BLACK.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] AvivEliyahu:
How's ringke in drop protection? Seems so good and not making the phone fat. But I wonder if that comes by not protecting so well
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Paninno12:
I haven't dropped de phone yet so I wouldn't know............. and TBH I don't really want to know ;) The good thing is that I can put the phone face down without worrying.

Also it doesn't seem fat on the pictures but after putting the case on it is as thick and tall as a Note 5.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Hisma:
I am extremely pissed off with tech21. I placed an order directly through their website based on this favorable review. My order was placed 5 days ago. It has not shipped, and I have made several attempts to contact their customer service and they refuse to respond. They already took my money however. I paid them via paypal.

Anyone been in this situation before? I want to reverse the charge and buy from somewhere else, as they have not done their part as the seller and I am out of patience.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I wouldn't want to drop my phone in the Fusion, so we will leave it at that.

This isn't the OP to discuss customer service experience with companies. I bought mine locally, so there were no issues getting it.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] lect1984:
Got my OBLIQ Slim Meta Satin Silver Slim Fit Premium Dual Layer Protection Case today. I was previously using a Ringke clear TPU case. The grip on the Obliq case is not bad - the brushed metal texture allows it to be gripped in one hand, but it is not as grippy as a TPU case. More importantly, I don't feel in danger of my phone slipping out of my hand even with one-handed use. The buttons are clicky and the TPU / hard shell fit on snug. The case looks amazing, although I was not originally a fan of the black TPU lining it has grown on me. But I do wish it came in a lighter color (gray perhaps).

Here is the important part for me: I use a magnetic car mount and I use wireless charging. The TPU / hard shell are two separate pieces and by sticking the steel plate in between the TPU and hard shell, I can use the magnetic car mount and wirelessly charge at the same time. There is no separation between the TPU and hard shell even after I vigorously shake the mount. Unless I hit every pothole known to man, I feel the phone is adequately secured to my magnetic mount even by mounting through the hard shell case. The magnetic plate is hidden behind the hard shell and sandwiched by the TPU case so the phone is protected at all times.

I will be testing Samsung Pay tomorrow, but I imagine that if I can use wireless charging I can use Samsung Pay.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Redflea:
Have to agree about looks - it is a really great looking case. I really, really wanted to keep this case, it's one of the best looking I've seen.

But...wow, I found the grip to be just about non-existent on this case. Both my wife and I felt it would be in constant danger of slipping out of our hands, and would be

very

risky for one-handed use (which I do a lot of). I'm 6'2", large hands (unlike the Donald) , so I have plenty of ability to find a grip, just wasn't there on the case. The brushed texture on the back is too faint, and the sides didn't enhance or help w/grip. I guess I can stop now...pretty clear what I didn't like about it. :)

The other thing I really didn't like about Obliq is that they have a 15% to 25% restocking fee (I ordered through Amazon)....my first order from Obliq will be my last.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] lect1984:
When I grip it I tend to have the base of my thumb and my middle/ring finger gripping the TPU edge. No problems for me and I have smaller hands than most. I use one-handed grip when I am on the subway and never felt like I would drop my phone. But I agree that it is more slippery than other cases.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Plusplusp:
Thanks

I was thinking about going for clear case. Thanks for the info, I going for Ringke
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I'm not sure why you quoted me here, but the grip depends on the persons preference, and how you hold the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Redflea:
Have this case, based on Pilz reviews, and love it. I thought it was going to be a place-holder case while I looked for another, but it has become my daily driver and am not planning on changing at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
It's a good case that's more usable now that I have a wrap on my phone. When it was just the glass dirt/dust would get inside a lot easier for one reason or another. I haven't really used it in a while other than to see how it looked with my SW.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] madAdam6LOVE:
Tech 21 was my first choice too. It's beautiful, and offers good protection, but it's too slippery for me. I'm now using the Speck Candyshell. PM me if you want to make an offer on my once-used Tech 21, I can send it out today by Priority Mail.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] metroins:
Thanks for the info.

I purchased a wallet case on Amazon; it has issues, I had to cutout for the buttons using fingernail clippers and a file and Samsung Pay doesn't work because they put a magnet in the back. I'm looking for a new wallet case.

I may opt for the Tech 21, but likely I'll wait for more cases to hit the market. I like being able to easily remove the phone from the case while at home, work or driving and the Tech 21 looks cumbersome to take out of the case.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
The Speck does indeed have the best grip which is one reason why I really enjoy it. I haven't found another case that's quite as good in terms of grip, but there are still other choices that are nice. I had to return my Tech 21 becuase while it was an excellent case, it was too slippery to use.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] LeBornJamesFan:
Pilz, thanks for all your hard work in this thread. It's all vastly appreciated.

I have a question about clear cases. So I bought the Spigen Neo Hybrid Cyrstal and you know what? It's just too bulky for me. It makes the device feel much larger than it does naked. I also have the Spigen Liquid Crystal, and I like it more. It doesn't add much dimension to the phone, but adds a good grip to the back. Personally, I feel like breaking a screen happens mostly because a device is too slippery, or not grippy enough. I feel like the larger size of the neo hybrid crystal makes the phone harder to hold securely with one hand. The Liquid Crystal... I like it, but it's so bendable, and does smudge very easily. Is there a better case you could recommend to me? Here are my needs based on priority:

1. Clear

2. Thin/minimal added size

3. Grip

4. Protection
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Toneman07:
Finally got a tracking number it's coming from Hong Kong. Pretty sad considering their website says anything coming from China or Taiwan is fake. Smdh. Last I checked it's in LA and it's coming to Vegas.

Mine still hasn't shipped from Amazon despite them claiming a delivery date of this Friday. I doubt they will make that deadline given how it's not due in stock until 3/26 via Amazon.

-Supcase Beetle added

-Spigen Liquid Crystal added

-OP reorganized for better viewing
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] clausg:
I do agree 100%!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Thank you!

Unfortunately I haven't found a clear case that meets all of those categories, but trust me I've been looking, and will keep looking, I want basically the same things from a case, so I will continue to look for one, and let you know.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Redflea:
IMHO, Ringke Fusion clear does 1, 2, and 3 very well. I feel very confident when holding this case, get very good one-handed grip, it adds minimum bulk to the phone, feels very comfortable in hand. Buttons easy to find and work great. Really Glad Pilz pointed this one out in his reviews. I haven't had any big problems w/dust collection underneath the back, but I do keep the port covers closed at all times (wireless charging, baby) and maybe I'm not as picky about it. :) The Ringke fusion is one of my favorite cases I've owned.

Protection is hard to say until you try, obviously, and I have no experience w/a front-and-back glass covered phone. I think the case would be decent protection for a short fall - a couple of feet on an edge or back or corner onto a hard surface, but I would not want to see what happens if I dropped it from my hands above my waist onto pavement (~4+ feet).

Anyone else want to test the big drop, go for it! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Semantics:
This one does. The one I have is totally clear like the photo's shown. Not sure why they are only showing 2 colors right now. Its fantastic.

Nice Review, but...

After scanning through all of your reviews I had bought the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Crystal case for my daily usage. Overall it feels nice and snuggy and also protects the back from fingerprint smudges. :good:

But how can I deal with the rainbow hue on the front screen? During my usage indoors, I have no problem with that but when I'm using it outside on a bright sunny day, that hue distracts a lot. So I request you to recommend the best screen protector for dealing with this issue. Wet or dry types doesn't matter :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Well this is a OP about cases not screen protectors. There are other OP's that can help you find the best one in this subforum; given that I recommend that you check there. I personally don't think any of the 8 I've tried so far are good, but that's just me.

I agree to an extent, but I feel the Spigen Liquid Crystal is still better. I will have to wait and see ow the Ringke Fusion Air turns out before saying their version of a strictly TPU case is better/worse. I think there are some good potential cases out there from what I've seen, I will post a link to them later today if I get a chance.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] techsammy:
Thanks for your prompt response. Btw, I have recently found a case here on Amazon. Also found its opaque variant here.

How about reviewing these two? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Saiyan26:
Wow I appreciate your extensive reviews. They're pretty helpful. I have a question though, I didn't see much info on "lip" sizes. That's a big thing for me when it comes to phones cases. I like Obliq's Slim Meta, but its almost nonexistant lip is bugging me. With the Edge's design it seems like side protection is impossible, so lip size is even more important IMO. Just wondering if any of these cases have raised sides and if you could post lip sizes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
It appears like you didn't actually read through my OP at all. I reviewed the Verus High Pro Shield, but not their other case you first listed. Please read through the OP before asking questions, otherwise I won't reply to them in the future. I'm always open to help out if members first at least read through the items in question.
