They don't peel off if you install them correctly. The side skins won't work with a case but the back one will. Installing them is a breeze for me, plus SW has install videos of I recall correctly. If you would like I can make a video tutorial on how to install the skins. I've never had a back skin peel off on any device without me trying to remove it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] exzacklyright:
How does slick wraps compare to dbrand? Specifically the carbon fiber ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Considering they both use 3M vinyl they should feel the same. I can double check because I have skins from both companies at home. It really comes down to the way each one is cut, SW cuts theirs differently than dbrand, but I don't have my dbrand yet to compare it with. I think it will be here Monday judging by the tracking #, I'll let you know how the fit it as well. I like wider range of colors SW offers personally, (silver carbon especially) and the glow series is fun too. I'll have to pick one of those up to see how it looks on my S7E. I know other companies like Skinomi don't use 3M vinyl (or at least they didn't think last time I bought one), so the quality is mediocre in comparison. The SW I received are beta samples therefore any small issues will be revised before they go full scale with the skins. Right now the skins go E2E on the back, and the sides only have a super small gap which is likely my fault since I never use side skins and installing them can be a little tricky.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] JaredC01:
I should hopefully have my Dark Lord skin sitting at home when I get there... it was supposed to be delivered yesterday, but never got updated or delivered. This new post guy is killing me on missing packages.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Post some pictures when you get them installed. I know how that goes, my neighbor usually gets my packages and forgets to bring me them.

Edit: I need to install my silver carbon wrap, but it's been a busy week/weekend. I'll probably throw the back on tomorrow then post pictures of it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] exzacklyright:
Do wraps help accidental presses on the sides when using the phone one handed?

Or would I need a case instead?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I haven't used the phone enough with just the wraps to really notice any difference. Ideally a case would stop accidental touches (or Samsung can push out a patch). Maybe another member who has some installed could help out a little more. I normally use a case because I drop my phone on occasion (I use a back skin on my phone too)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] hboos:
that looks awesome !

it looks pretty shiny.. does it feel slippery with it on?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] JaredC01:
As posted in the case thread...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] tiskewlio:
Running a custom skin and case and I can say that the skin doesn't help with accidental presses on the edges since it's merely a layer over the glass/metal on the device. It will however, help with "gripability" so the phone won't slip out of the hand as easily. A case definitely reduced the accidental presses, especially when laying on your back and viewing with the screen above you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Looks nice, is that a silver S7E or a white one?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] wawaweewa:
No its not slippery. Only thing i noticed it feels dirty when touching the back
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Dirty? I prefer the feel of a skin over the glass back because it saves me from being super OCD and cleaning the whole phone every time I touch it. I already gave a microfiber cloth with me to clean the display, I don't want to also clean the back constantly :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] wawaweewa:
The feeling of it just triggers me that think its dirty thats all and i agree about the thumbprints thats why i bought this too. I didnt put the stickers in the side and the bottom and top too as they are just not working well with curves (or i didnt have patience )
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I think I understand what you mean, I've never tried the galactic series or any of the themed skins, so their texture might be different than what I'm used to. As far as the side skins go they are a little tricky to install. Once they are on (and you use a blow dryer to set the adhesive) the skins tens to stay put. The only issue you might encounter is their incompatibility with 99.9% of cases out there. I had a fill SW set up on my Nvidia Shield for a long time, and if never came off whatsoever. Since there were no real cases for the Shield I simply used the magnetic cover alongside my skin daily even while gaming where it would get fairly hot. I personally don't use the side ones on my phones since I always have a case, but u always have a back skin on. My Nexus 6P hasn't gone a dsy without a skin of sort which is also why it looks brand new :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] wawaweewa:
I will try the blower and tought about it as i carbon fibered panels in my interior car lol did the same thing.

About a case with it i have tried the only one i have from vrs amazon. No problem with it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
That's surprising to me because I've only seen maybe 1-2 cases that actually work with side skins over the years. Let me know how it goes; SW is usually good about replacing things if they don't go well. I would send them a PM if it still won't stick.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Natural Series are on their way stay tuned!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] wawaweewa:
Didn't put in the side skins yet basically all i put in is the back part thats it. I tried the side and bottom for ports i ended up removing it as i dont like the sharp end by the corner. Ill probably put them in the future
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
They can be a little sharp depending on how well you line them up, but sometimes its impossible to avoid. I don't think they can be cut in a way to avoid those edges given how small some of the pieces are. I still like mine, especially the back skin.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] JkdJedi:
Anybody using Slickwraps know how to stop the edges of the tape from grabbing your pant pockets? Love how it looks but almost every time I grab my phone from my pocket it grabs and semi peels off, have to rest the dam tape on the edges only, otherwise a good product.

I just ordered the black marble for the s7 edge. Does this have the same problem as stated above. Also have you tried the heat air thing. Does it make a difference or does it his help just getting air bubbles out
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] bigpapa007:
How long does it take for you guys who have ordered from slickwraps when you order a skin to actually process it?

Bought it like 5 days ago and it still says "processing"... however they did take my money from my paypal account the very first day.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Jxck:
Good looks! I'm liking this idea, and the designs you've showcased. A sleek way to minimally protect your phone.

Does wraps provide some kind of protection? If i drop my phone from a reasonable height will the wrap protect the edges or the back cracking for example?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] minhoolee:
Warning: DO NOT BUY SLICKWRAPS

tl;dr: manufacturing issues and terrible customer service and refund policy

I ordered a custom skin for my Galaxy S8+ for $23 but when it came (a week later), there were several manufacturing issues. In particular, two sides were printed upside down and there were several gaps between the other sides. They also fail to mention that the way their custom template crops your image ends up in the sides not being continuous in color (they try to map a 2D image into a 3D shape by cropping).

So I sent an RMA request because there was a manufacturing issue and I didn't receive a response for 3 weeks because apparently their RMA is not to request an RMA. Instead, I was supposed to send an email to their general support.

So I asked for a refund and everything would have been swell if I were able to get a new skin for free but their refund policy only gives "slickwrap points" back for the skin cost (excluding shipping) and any coupon codes are applied after slickwrap points are applied. Thus, I had to pay an additional $7 to get a new skin.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] mrsmtt:
Well I came here first to thank OP for introducing me to slickwraps universe, I must say I'm satisfied :) I ordered the Honeycomb Black skin that I found amazing on the images and even better hands-on! It has a fantastic grip and it's really beautiful under the sunlight!! Maybe a bit expensive but as I said I'm happy with it so I'd say it's worth it.

I'll attache a picture, sorry for the quality I only got an old iphone to take it (not mine, I have nothing to do with that thing :p )

_Download this Zip file and extract it : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byybyd_nA78MRjJTdWVtaFVyaFU/view?usp=sharing

_Install Ext2Fsd and osfmount

_Now use WindowsLGFirmwareExtract to extract system.img from ZV9 TOT File ! (You have to Merge all system.img file after extract it to get the real one )

_Run Ext2Fsd and use osfmount to mount System.img in window (Uncheck Read-Only drive)

_Now you can mod this system.img and flash it through Send_command like ZV6!
[Sprint LG G4] hodgestl:
Will this work for ZVA or is it ZV9 only?
[Sprint LG G4] Tctien342:
Yes

it will work for all system.img but we dont have ZVA TOT :(
[Sprint LG G4] tabp0le:
Really the only point of this would be to debloat the system, or install apks to system. Not much else you could do though.
[Sprint LG G4] Awesomeslayerg:
How do you install apks as system because i really want to install nova launcher on this probably distrubute it also and debloat it :P
[Sprint LG G4] natator99:
Would this even work? Wouldn't modifying the system.img change the checksums. which would be caught by our locked bootloader and cause boot issues? Hence same reason we can't use send_command root injection?
[Sprint LG G4] Tctien342:
we can delete and add app to system.img but have to set right permission !

i have modded init.qcom.post_boot.sh file in etc to set that in boot !

file modded : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byybyd_nA78MVWRvblNTYjUzV3c/view?usp=sharing
[Sprint LG G4] tabp0le:
You just inject it to /system/app and set permissions to 0644.
[Sprint LG G4] leond:
can this be used to inject root ?

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

the script on the bottom has a section:

#Try to add Root

chown -R 0:0 /system/app/SuperSU

chmod 0644 /system/app/SuperSU

chmod -R 0755 /system/app/SuperSU

.......

Did it actually work ?

(Please tell me it did :) )

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

Isn't there a way to dd/extract system.img from ZVA phone?
[Sprint LG G4] Tctien342:
Root dont work !

I have wrong somewhere so can't active root !

I think we can extract system ZVA by dd but can copy it to PC ? (LG Secure ?)

But we can up back to ZV6 and copy it with root ?
[Sprint LG G4] leond:
But root files are there? This is great news, it means we just have to figure out what files should go where for proper Marshmallow root. Maybe looking at custom rooted ROM?

do you think install script from supersu for Marshmallow can be called from init.qcom.post_boot.sh ?

http://www.gammerson.com/2015/10/download-super-su-v251zip-for-marshmallow.html
[Sprint LG G4] Awesomeslayerg:
Wait can't we also disable DM verity or whatever that's called that's blocking root as well via permissions?
[Sprint LG G4] leond:
I thought dm-verity protects partition, so if the root files are there and it's not complaining on boot, dm-verity is not an issue.

But the more i am reading the more it looks like you can't root marshmallow without unlocked bootloader :(
[Sprint LG G4] Awesomeslayerg:
I checked there are no files with that I manually added them let see if my thing boots if not ah well

---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

Looks like i was able to load the Super SU biniaries for some weird reason.. I added files to where they where suppose to go it made them
[Sprint LG G4] leond:
so it boots? can you start an adb shell? do you see su binary? does it have right permissions? can you run it from the shell?
[Sprint LG G4] Awesomeslayerg:
I couldn't set permissions but the files are in there.. I just nuked my laf partition so there's no way for me to continue testing on this device but thank God I have an OS installed.. I guess I'm stuck on this forever now :p

Device - MMX canvas a1 Android one

Os- 5.1.1

Problem HIstory:- phn was not getting started to main menu , it just open and shows either just an Android logo loading screen or shows message optimising app (some times 106 someone 40 or someone 86) after optimising it shows message starting apps and then load screen continues to load (in pic) . when I opened recovery mode it shows screen Android icon with a triangle and exclamation mark in it with message line no command , I presses volume up and power key

To hard rest it from that screen, I did factory hard reset , wiped cache partition , then boot it , still it just stuck on Android logo loading screen , nothing happens , also I tried different boot modes , flash boot , boot +ftrace( I dunno what's that) ,slub debug off(dunno again) . nothing happens it stuck on black screen ..

History :- previously phn was acting weird from many days ,like it gets restarted abruptly any time , some time it's brightness gets stuck to low or high , apps. No work and few days back it's Google account and Google play services automatically disappeared .. And not even letting to sign in Google play store was not opening , so did its reset , from phn menu , now like after 2 days it shuts off , and this happing ..

also phn is not rooted ,

till now to solve the issue I did the following:-

From this thread http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/android-one-general/rom-t3120737

i flashed twrp 3.0.x version from fastboot after unlocking boot loader

but it shows this error and phone keep on restarting (had to remove battery )

then i flashed twrp 2.7.x version ,it again shows this error and phn again keep on restarting

so i flashed the philz recovery from fast boot itself .then i wipe cache ,factory reset is and wipe data

after wiping data it shows this error .

.

then installed the stock rom zip file from ex-sd card

after installation it shows this error

i reboot the system the phn starts in recovery itself after some time loading and remains in recovery

i then dissabled signature verification and zip md5 check but this this rom doesn't get installed.

also

device is not listing in adb devices but listing in fastboot

and phn mtp drivers do not get install on my system or any other system no matter what i do .

after some time it shows message device driver can't be install (i have already installed the S9320AE driver for mmx)

Please help .im so frustrated right now been trying to make the phn working again from 5 days . its my sis phn she will kill me if didn't get it fix in 3-4 days . :(

Bro it is booting properly .. just shows message oem unlocked before booting .Also then i insert sim in it the shows message optimizing apps . is it coz of unlocked bootloader ?? this same message "optimizing apps " was coming before when phn was stuck at boot loop logo animation .. i am afraid :confused:

by fastboot command or android one tool-kit or unlock-relock for android one devices ?tool ?

Best All-In-One Android Repair Toolkits

If you've got some repairs to do, having the right tools is essential. You wont get very far if you're trying to open the back of your phone with a spatula. Many times, the part you're ordering will come with the tools needed to replace it. These tools are disposable and usually break or bend t the point where you cant use them again. If you want a set of high quality tools that you can use to do multiple repairs then you should look into investing in a toolkit.

This new set available from ifixit will have everything you need, minus a heat gun. At $69.95 it's a hefty price but you can expect some tools that will last you quite some time. You'll also have a decent carrying case to keep all of your tools organized.

Hi guys,

Sorry if i have posted the question in the wrong place, forgive me.

I'm having a problem here. I was thinking to use ROEHSOFT RAM EXPANDER to increase the RAM of my Lenovo Tab S8-50LC and I guess i messed up something. When i restarted my tab, it saw it on such a screen (see the photo attached). It says "Press ESC in 1 seconds to skip startup.nsh, any other key to continue".

What I expect is that the boot drive has been changed to something else, according to the info i gathered by reading some general articles on this issue. I cant figure out how to change it back to normal. Also please try to give me a solution through which i will not lose my data, there is a lot of important stuff in it.

Please help me as all my important data and stuff is in this Tab.

Details about the tab:

Model: Lenovo Tab S8-50LC

Android OS: KitKat 4.4.2 (Official ROM)

Custom Kernel: No

Rooted: Yes

Guys...can't anyone make an app to navigate the power menu with volume buttons so that we can do a soft reboot in case of a screen freeze in Zenfone 5.:confused:
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonardohenrique10:
This is not a thing that can be bypassed, it's very ramdom, and crashs all Android system, so there's no way a app can intercept this.
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyson_catchem:
I'm talking about an app that can at least make the power menu accessible through volume rocker keys so that a soft reboot can easily ve performed in case of a screen freeze...
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonardohenrique10:
As I said, the whole Android system freezes, not the screen only (one example of this is if you are listening music or watching a video, the audio freezes too). So there's no way to access power menu, the only thing we can do is a forced shutdown.
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyson_catchem:
Well the incoming calls still show and downloads still continues...even installation...so...maybe the whole system does not freeze I think...
