[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ambientlight:
I'm looking for something that allows casting from the notification shade, but thank you for the suggestion ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] xylus_jameson:
Likewise, I really enjoyed that option too. Honestly, the fewer apps I need to install the happier I am.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ambientlight:
Do you know whether that functionality is something that Samsung took out or is it something that Marshmallow no longer offers? ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] xylus_jameson:
I haven't come across any information that states one way or the other. I know it's a Samsung feature, not Google (Android), but your guess is as good as mine at this point.

Under developer options in the settings menu (turn on by going to About Phone and tapping Build Number repeatedly) there is an option for Authorizing Wireless Display Devices, but I haven't had the opportunity to see what it actually does yet. By default it's turned off.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] caravana:
Its something that Samsung took out.

There were some apks (ChromecastFrameworkService.apk, RemotePlayer.apk, SecEmbeddedServerService.apk) that was responsible for this functionality that was removed in marshmallow.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ambientlight:
Thanks for the response and info :)

Is there any way to get the functionality back aside from installing a different rom? I've tried all kinds of launchers, but that doesn't do it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] caravana:
I've tried to flash these APKs from the Lollipop ROM, but after that my S6 failed to boot. Didn't tried to debug to see whats going on (maybe installing manually instead of flashing resolve this, I don't know).

For those who wants to investigate, here (XtreStoLite Deodexed Aroma Add-on Package 2.4a) is a package that has these APKs. Maybe you guys are luckier than me. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ambientlight:
Since I wouldn't know even the first thing about debugging, there's little chance of me figuring anything out except that it appears I won't be able to get this functionality back anytime soon :o

Hopefully there will be someone out there who wants to investigate (and find a solution) :laugh:

I love the S7 Edge, but I really do miss HTC connect and it's ability to connect to anything.

Samsung's Quick Connect is really a step backward and Smart View is useless as well.. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Mkgold:
How does one that is not technologically minded do this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Misterjunky:
If anyone of you here still need some guidance on how to enable and use chromecast here it is.

Go to the playstore and download the chromecast app which can be found here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app

You can add the chromecast app as a shortcut to your home screen or to the "App Edge" feature.

And or you can also download the Google Chrome browser at the playstore which can be found here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome

When you see the chromecast icon on top of the chrome browser's title bar click it to start chromecasting.

Quick Connect has nothing to do with chromecast and will not connect to the chromecast dongle.

Good luck,

Have a great day!

S7 with 6.0.1 Chromecast fail

Same issue here.

S5 with 5.0.1 works with Chromecast.

S7 with 6.0.1 doens't.

Same Chromecast device, same Wi-Fi network.

App updated.

Google play services all enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ambientlight:
Yes, I've understood that the problem is that Samsung has crippled this functionality in their 6.0.1 version of Touchwiz. I haven't found a way to get the functionality back despite posts in several different forums. The Google Cast app does allow you to connect to Chromecast, but the process is more cumbersome than casting via the quick settings menu. I hope someone finds a solution for this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] GooSimongle:

Can't Cast

- but clicking the Cast Icon (box thing) does not connect, can't see the Chromecast.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tehjesus:
On the S7, quick connect uses Bluetooth low energy mode to see BT devices and be ready to connect even when BT is toggled off. I've no experience how things were on the s6, but considering the Chromecast has no BT component this is expected use and quick connect should not connect to Chromecast.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] christafur:
Reduce the resolution of your GS 7 or note 7 (like the one I have) and you will be able to cast
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ambientlight:
This thread is about quick connect and the inability to cast via quick connect. Casting via the google cast app works fine and that's already clear.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cdeleoxda:
Kind of related but not sure if exactly the same. Has anyone found a way to be able to screen mirror to chromecast by using tasker?
[Mate 8 Themes and Apps] Boosik:
This will replace icons in the Huawei launcher and also in notification bar and pull-down.

It is pretty simple, but takes some time so be patient.

I've done this with the Urmun Icon Pack.

Needed things:

PSPad

Bulk Rename Utility

7zip

Icon Pack APK for Nova

Some Huawei Theme file

Little patience

First of all you need Icon Pack APK for Nova, which you will decompress using 7zip.

Then in the folder find folder called res and inside of it you have to find the folder with all the icons (will be the biggest folder).

Copy the icons somewhere and remember the place.

Second step is finding file called appfilter.xml. Note that there are 2 of these files in some icon packs, one is encrypted, but the second one isn't and you need the unencrypted one.

Open appfilter.xml with PSPad.

Hit Control+H and check Regular Expressions, search in whole document and whole file.

The the first field paste the following:

(<[a-zA-Z0-9 ="]+\{)([a-zA-Z0-9._]+)(\/[a-zA-Z0-9._\}" ]+=")([a-zA-Z0-9._]+)([" \/>]+)

To the second field paste the following:

$4.png|$2.png

Now hit ok and you can rest and watch the magic for a while.

Once is the magic finished, you have to to remove all comments from the file by pasting the following to the first field in the PSPad Control+H and nothing at all to the second field.

<!--.*-->

Hit OK, wait a little.

Now remove all the lines above the first line with the following format:

some_name.png|some.other.name.png

Now you have to remove all the tabs and spaces so hit Control+H again and paste this to the first field, leaving the second blank.

[	]+

Hit OK, watch the magic.

Once this is done, you have to remove all blank lines. To do this simply hit EDIT -> Lines manipulation -> Remove blank lines in the PSPad.

Now save this file as rules.txt

Third step is to open Bulk Rename Utility and navigate it to the folder with images you extracted in the first step.

Hit Renaming options -> Prevent duplicates

Hit Actions -> Import Rename-Pairs

Select the rules.txt you saved before

Click one of the images in the list and hit Control+A to select them all

Finally click Rename in the right down part of the window

Confirm all and wait a little

Final step is to put all the icons to the Huawei Theme file.

Open Huawei Theme file (.hwt) with 7zip, there should be file called icons so open it in 7zip

Now drag'n'drop all the renamed icons to the 7zip window

Wait a while

Once done, you can copy your theme to the phone and apply it.

Viola, new icons!
[Mate 8 Themes and Apps] Ephemera:
[MENTION=3656595]Boosik[/MENTION] would you happen to know how to change the font? I added a fonts folder and inserted the font and update descriptions.xml anything else?
[Mate 8 Themes and Apps] Deleted member 6802227:
Awesome. Ill give it a try! you should attach screenshots :)! Nice Guide!! Thanks a lot :)
[Mate 8 Themes and Apps] malekowsky:
I have used lot of font apps but none of them worked. The only one that did the job is rom toolbox pro. It's not the perfect solution but it does the job. I am now using ubuntu font.
[Mate 8 Themes and Apps] Hen Ry:
and vice versa, Huawei in Nova
[Mate 8 Themes and Apps] Dead_Dude:
First you will rip out the appfilter.XML

Then format it to use as the input for a bulk file rename on the icon graphics.

Then put the formatted-named icons inside the icon zip inside the hwt file.

Jump to my double posts.

I greatly appreciate this guide, but can you be slightly more specific?

I'm unsure what the first field is or the second field, in respect to this guide... are you saying to do a find and replace function on the file?

Open appfilter.xml (unencrypted copy)

Find: (<[a-zA-Z0-9 ="]+\{)([a-zA-Z0-9._]+)(\/[a-zA-Z0-9._\}" ]+=")([a-zA-Z0-9._]+)([" \/>]+)

Replace with: $4.png|$2.png

Then, Remove all comments by doing a find and replace on this: <!--.*-->

Replace all <!--.*--> with emptiness

(I STILL HAVE COMMENTS IN THE FILE IM FOLLOWING ALONG WITH)

Next, remove all these lines ABOVE some_name.png|some.other.name.png

Finally remove all tab characters and empty spaces. Rename this file to: Rules.txt

Can you post a screenshot of the file before and after manipulations have been done?

My manipulated appfilter.xml file begins:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<resources>

<version>1</version>

<iconback img1="iconback" />

<iconupon img1="iconfront" />

<scale factor="1.00" />

app_sunrise_calendar_.png|am.sunrise.android.calendar.png

many many more lines similar to the one directly above

</resources>

Am I supposed to remove everything before app_sunrise_calendar_.etc ?

Third step is to open Bulk Rename Utility and navigate it to the folder with images you extracted in the first step.

Hit Renaming options -> Prevent duplicates

Hit Actions -> Import Rename-Pairs

Click one of the images in the list and hit Control+A to select them all

Finally click Rename in the right down part of the window

Confirm all and wait a little

Rename the files to what? Import Rename-Pairs? What?

Open Rules.txt you created earlier and tell Bulk Renamer to use that.

I figured it all out. I do have a few icons that aren't being themed though.... any idea why not? The icons exist in the pack I used, and the files for the missing icons are present in the hwt file, just not applied.

Thank you in advance for this guide and any help provided to me! I have been trying to do this by hand, sans PC tools.

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

any icon that doesn't begin with com can be deleted, as it won't be used

some apps, like google sheets, are not themed. trying to deduce why

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

thinking of trying to make a zip with a zip inside named icons... renaming first zip to hwt... see if I can make a 'theme' of only an icon pack...

---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

how do we change the folder appearance, or/and the masking effect applied to unthemed icons?
[Mate 8 Themes and Apps] Dead_Dude:
Well, I've discovered that many apps have multiple icons to theme.

There's an icon for the share window

There's an icon for the home screen

There's an icon for the Notification pull down

There's an icon for the entry in Settings

I finally managed to get Sheets properly themed (to NOT use the Google Photos icon) in all areas.

Having a hard time getting the names for all the areas Google Plus puts an icon....

Had a hell of a time tracking down all the file names.

Does anyone know if other aspects of themeing (like com.android.systemui) uses layers compatible coding? I'm going about this like a mad man... cutting/pasting/renaming/zipping/unzipping various themes together... Unable to get a total original creation to get picked up as a theme by the theme manager though... :(

Think my problem is the fact I kept the theme manager app open the whole time I was manipulating files and adding themes and deleting themes... Rebooted the phone and it shows all my files in the theme manager app.

I love Urmun Icon Pack

Can u share ur theme pls
[Mate 8 Themes and Apps] mathurmatt:
[MENTION=5699533]Dead_Dude[/MENTION] would you be kind enough to share your creation.
[Mate 8 Themes and Apps] MSDarwish:
You can use "EMUI Theme Editor" from google play and save your time
[Mate 8 Themes and Apps] Dead_Dude:
Alas, I cannot. I have since begun using the Emui Theme Creator app in the PlayStore. It makes adding icons MUCH easier.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eumanoid:
So i just updated to MM. Now, my fingerprint sensor/scanner(whatever you wanna call it) is acting up. There are times when it won't read my finger at all. Other times, i would have to try three or more times to get a good scan in. This usually happens when the phone has been on standby for at least 10mins. Unlocking the phone with the fingerprint sensor when you just(say 2-5mins) locked it is ok. It works as it should. Could it be a doze related bug? Is there anyone else experiencing this problem?

update: it does happen even if i just locked it. though not as often as when it had been on standby for a longer period. "/
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yakkosmurf:

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eumanoid:
dirty install with pcc. i'm reluctant to reset since i have 12gb worth of installation files. will it be ok if i backup-reset-restore?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eumanoid:
right. at first i thought it wasn't reading my finger. but now that you mention it, it may have read my finger but asked for my key after since it didn't show an error. if it didn't read/recognize my finger, it should show an error saying so right? but it just vibrates and asks for my key. will clearing fingerprint data and re-adding them help? sure hope so.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadman Khan:
If it vibrates and asks for a key, then you are probably using an app to lock the screen. On marshmallow, you have to lock the phone with the power button for the fingerprint sensor to work
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMaeGoo:
I heard that Nexus based on MM has this problem, too.

Screen Lock Pro(Prahallad) on Play store may be useful.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadman Khan:
Yep. I used to use the app "Soft Lock Screen" but now I can't anymore as I have to input pin if I use that to lock the phone hahaha
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eumanoid:
yes. i am using knock-off(double tap to turn off display) from smart launcher to lock my phone. i'll try disabling this and report back. thanks a bunch Khan.

Update: evrything is working fine now. Looks like it was a marshmallow issue as khan said. Too bad i can't use double tap to lock anymore.

I got the LED view cover for S7 Edge and read somewhere that it should be possible to answer calls by swiping the led on the front... But I can't get it to work.

Also is it so that the LED is supposed to light up only in 2-3 seconds?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ramheer:
Have you switched on the nfc on your phone? This needs to be on for the case to work properly. The LED only lights for a few seconds on my case also. Hope this helps

Hi guy's I have just finished reviewing the official led case on YouTube, I bought it with my own money and I don't earn a penny from my reviews. Click on my link below and see the major flaws with this case.

I will be reviewing a lot more case's in the next few days so subscribe to my channel as I will also be giving out some cases for you guy's to review from Ulak. Please enjoy many thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] rawandroid:
this thing is awesome! how much does it costs?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ramheer:
It costs between £40 & £50 depending where you buy it from. Which country are you based in?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] derWolf_:
I bought this case when I got the phone, because there was no other decent case in the store at the time being and I couldn't wait till April for my spigen cases to arrive from amazon (I know, right..... April??).

It is quite nice actually. The materials used are very good, very "premium" (as it is socially accepted to say). The inside of the lid is a soft leather-like material and I feel quite certain it won't scratch the screen (like the SView for the S6 duo did). Also you DO NOT need NFC turned on in order to use the LED part of the case. I turned off my NFC the moment I got the phone and the case works flawlessly (accepting, rejecting calls etc).

One thing I do mind though is the limited functionality. I do not get why I can accept a call when the lid is closed, but I can't end it.... doesn't make much sense. Truth be told this is my only complaint really. The price is quite steep for what it offers though - if I were to buy the case again for the price I got it (circa 50 euro), I don't think I would. Don't get me wrong - it is a really nice case, it's just not worth so much.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ramheer:
I agree with you, interesting about the nfc, the instructions state that it needs to be switched on for the case to work fully. Are you getting text and email notifications with the nfc switched off? And the galaxy music player app showing the eq? Sammie should have created an app for the case to increase the notifications and timings etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] derWolf_:
Yes, I do get text notifications. Don't know about email and music because I use Play Music and Gmail, and the case does not work with third party apps (which is another bummer).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] thasnes:
Thanks! Turning on the NFC did the trick! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] dogans:
How do you get text notifications? I have NFC enabled but only get for calls and alarms. I use hangouts for texts though.. could that be it?

edit: nevermind, just read the whole comment.. sucks that 3rd party apps don't work :/ I use hangouts, whatsapp and gmail, and it would've been awesome to have those show up, now that we're covering the LED notification on the phone with this cover.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jugih:
No missed notifications. Only when you receive them. Theres no way to see ANY missed events. It doesn't even recognize original email-app :D :D

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ramheer:
Has anyone managed to get more functionality from the led flip case?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Airax:
How does the case get power for the LED?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ramheer:
From what i read it gets power via nfc and doesnt require much, something to do with radiation energy given off by nfc. It might be rubbish but thats all i have heard
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] thasnes:
Anyone else annoyed by the NFC sound? How do I turn it off???

I think it is the S_Beam_error.ogg that plays (located in /system/media/audio/ui) ... Doesn't work turning off Android Beam. The sound is still there when the led cover gets behind the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] bower123456:
u dont need nfc on for it to work, not on my led case anyway
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Monkey Slut:
That's right. My case works without Nfc turned in settings, too. Strange thing is that at the beginning the case was not always working properly- delayed notifications, once I couldn't answer the call with a swipe, errors with displaying, etc. But after some time, about a week or more, it got better and now I rarely face any issues.
