How does it feel in detail? Does it make the phone a lot less slippery? Also, I know it's not real leather but what would you describe the texture as?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] spankmatic22:
Not as much texture as leather, but it does have a good feel. Phone is much less slippery. Since then I have also tried a carbon one from slick wraps. Much preferred the feel of the dbrand leather.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] gainstatom:
Do you like the leather one better or carbon fiber? Also which has more grip?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] spankmatic22:
Leather has better grip. Visually I like them both.

Does putting the camera sticker on the lens affect the amount of light that comes in? :D :good:

do you notice a decrease in signal reception when using the bumper?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SJUnion:
Yes, I have since stopped using the bumper because of it. It was enough to drop me from 4G to 3G while in my office and sometimes causes the compass to lose its heading while using GPS. It looked and felt great but, it just wasn't worth it to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] thegtfusion:
Yes, I expected that. What are you using now? Naked phone with the skin?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SJUnion:
I did for awhile but I found the phone too hard to hold without accidentally bumping the edge screen. That lead to all kinds of accidental actions ya know. So I went with a Supcase Unicorn Beetle. The carbon skin still shows through the clear frosted back and while not as beautiful as the naked phone, its pretty mean looking. :D

I remember I had a bumper case & back skin on iPhone 4 but the back skin was actually like felt material. Could lay phone on my leg with jeans on while lying down & phone didn't slide it just stayed there. I have dbrand matte black on s7 edge now and it's brilliant but still slippery. Wish dbrand could bring out a black felt skin

I was wondering if we can apply the back skin of galaxy s8... Without the hair dryer...

Can we..?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndDiSa:
Why so compilcated? USB-OTG is supported on the fly by Android 6.0 / Marshmallow, but unfortunately most of the N7-kernels have a bug which lead to reboot on unmounting the OTG-Device. Nevertheless the next version of Android 6 AOSP on Grouper should have it fixed this issue ...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gaferreira13:
It's not as straight-forward as you're saying.

Most media player apps that weren't updated to support Android 6's native USB OTG support will not be able to read a pen's contents. This topic that I made is aimed to circumvent the issue by mounting the pen in a different way. That bug you mentioned is not something I want to solve, and even if a new kernel solved the issue that I'm talking about, most manufacturers wouldn't update their devices...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndDiSa:
Ok, you may be right with apps which are not yet updated to support Marshmallow, I didn't check that.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gaferreira13:
Oh, and maybe now that I think of it, this could solve the problem, since mounting/unmounting is done with the Paragon app instead of Android. Give it a shot
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kashinath:
Using native otg function, you can only copy files between phone and otg dive. To open a file e.g. To install apk from otg, you have to first copy it to phone's storage. On many media player, video can only be played sequentially (seek bar doesn't work).

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gaferreira13:
Hey, is there any way for you to determine the path of your root folder? Maybe using ES File Explorer. For some phones, the root folder isn't pointed to /.

EDIT - If you can't do that, try replacing the first of those commands with the following:

su -c mount -o rw,remount,rw /system
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Viridis:
I'm also getting the same issue as kashinath, won't let me create pen. I've also tried pointing the mounter to a directory in /storage/emulated/0/pen but it seems to just crash and restart the app.

EDIT:

Okay so I've solved the problem completely differently. The otg storage is found in /mnt/media_rw, so I used the app "FolderMount [ROOT]" to point the folder "pen" (in the internal storage) to the /mnt/media_rw/*random string* folder. I then used the app "media.Re.Scan:" to force the media scanner to scan that folder as it didn't seem to want to do it. Now all apps seem to be working.

What tipped me off about this was this post: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/help/marshmallow-usb-otg-mounting-media-t3230588

It seems you have to turn the folder mount on/off every time you plug/unplug the USB drive otherwise it won't play the files.

Thanks for the detailed instructions nonetheless.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gaferreira13:
Yeah forget mounting anything in the /storage/emulated/0...

According to the post you linked in your comment, "6.0 mounts to /mnt/media_rw/ but I can't seem to get any media players to see it. I tried creating a symbolic link in /storage/emulated, but I get an error with root explorer about symbolic links not being supported" which is exactly what happened to me

If you don't like the folder mount alternative you can always do a bind command (but i'm not sure how it works), search it up and see if you get any results.

Is your pen in Fat32 though?

There is a workaround for the pen thing... If you use Total Commander and want to edit any files in /, it asks you to run a command that mounts the / folder. Try to see what command it is and replicate it into the script, then the rest might work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 4k5blr:
Thank you so much !! It worked on my XT1033 falcon dual sim - MM6.0 identity crisis 1.3a . I can finally restore all my nandroid backups.

Just to correct shouldn't the last command in the script be

su -c chmod 777 /pen

instead of

su -c chmod /pen 777
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gaferreira13:
No, thank you :)

And, damn you're right, lol I'll correct it ASAP, thanks a lot for pointing it out
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Arcane35:
I'm a complete newbie at this, in fact I rooted my device just to do this :p

Anyways I'm getting the same issue kashinath is getting and tried the other command you recommended (su -c mount -o rw,remount,rw /system ) wich also didn't work

In that reply you also said that the root folder is different between devices so, if I determine the path to my root folder, where exactly in the script do I have to put it? (Again I'm a newbie)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gaferreira13:
For my phone the Root folder's path is "/" so I'll put 2 arrows where the path to root is in the command:

" su -c mount -o rw,remount /proc --> / <-- "

So imagine your root path is /root

The command would look like this: " su -c mount -o rw,remount /proc /root " (without "" of course)

If you still can't find the path to your root folder, try searching on the internet "root folder for xxxxx phone"

Hope it helps
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Arcane35:
Turns out my phone's root folder is also / , and I'm still getting the same error (mount: '/' not in /proc/mounts)

Maybe its because I have Nougat :/

EDIT: So I think I managed to kinda work around that, I change the command to " su -c mount -o rw,remount / " and it ended up making the pen folder and no errors came out. So I then proceeded to open Paragon, disabled FS access rights, ensured that SELinux was permissive (it is) and change the mount point to the /pen folder, I finally proceeded to manually mount the thing BUT even tough that in my notifications says that I mounted it, on the app it still says that my Flash Drive is still not mounted (even tough it detects it and know that it is an NTFS file system). Basically whenever I try to mount my Flash Drive it wont work even tough the app detects it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gaferreira13:
Ooooh. Remember the topic is called "Full USB OTG on Media Players in Marshmallow" :p

I can't help you then, sorry. The only thing I can tell you is to open the /proc/mounts file as text on the top there should be a command that tells android to mount the root folder as rootfs I believe.

Maybe that could help.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gaferreira13:
Try to open the /pen folder, try to see in the properties of /pen if the permissions are set to 777.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Arcane35:
It is set as 0777, so yes (if the 0 is not supposed to be there)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gaferreira13:
Hmm... If you can open the folder fine and maybe create a file in there or something then I can't help you any further. The paragon app doesn't let you do much regarding troubleshooting.

Try using the methods that other people did like using Foldermount or something like that.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TechGuy77:
For some reason after setting this all up now JetAudio no longer sees my /pen folder. The /pen folder is created with the right permmissions I believe and I can access it and play songs when selecting the file but JetAudio wont' allow me to select that folder anymore nor will it find the music. Please help me fix this issue. Had it all working when I set it up last week and now no dice.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gaferreira13:
Hey man, have you tried cleaning the app's data or even reinstalling jetaudio? restarting the phone?

You can also try deleting the media provider's cache and data and try a new media scan.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] blackmatrix64:
For everyone who is still looking for a simple solution, here is the best fix for CyanogenMod13 (I don't know if it works on other roms). Simply open terminal and type

su
sm set-force-adoptable true

and forget about everything else. Just insert otg usb and it will be immediately recognized by music players and all other apps.

Additional info:

My otg-usb is formatted as NTSF, I don't know if this makes any difference.

Do not safely eject the usb, in my case doing this I noticed some bugs, just directly unplug the otg.

I think someone posted here a method for not-rooted phones. If you phone is rooted then why don't you try this? I'm pretty sure iPhone doesn't have USB support... You could also just buy some cheap good phone with microsd slot... which iPhone doesn't have either. Cheers
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] g0ndor:
Thank you for the suggestions.

I do have a cheap phone with an sdcard which I use for music in my car and the office, but besides that I can't carry two phones with me all the time.

And my phone is rooted, I am just a little tired after spending two days to update it to version 6.0.1, to find out that what should be a simple feature is intentionally blocked by Google.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zincrum:
Another simple (partial) solution

I arrived here wanting to edit and play music playlist from audio files inside an external flash memory (USB OTG). I did some of the steps in the first post, but because Im not rooted, I couldnt run the "su" commands.

Anyway, I realized that the Total Commander app does what I wanted. Maybe not a pretty user interface, but makes the job, both with NTFS and FAT32. So I uninstalled paragon, but kept total commander and now I can play and manage playlists from there. Other apps still have not a fluent access to the usb memory.

Before, I could obviously play audio files, but one by one, without playlist, and manually selecting them each time. Very unpractical.

Let me tell you that the USB OTG concept is misleading. Even a fraud, cause the access of files in USB is not as expected. I can imagine millions of users wasting money in phones and usb drives expecting to play hours of music with a single touch. Not possible for me (I couldnt root with KingoRoot) unless I use the Total Commander app, which is a simple file explorer with integrated playlist edition. Not sure about videos.

Bought a brand new Fire HD 8, and am assuming it is on 5.0.1. Don't want to connect to the internet right away, because the last thing I want it to do is upgrade to 5.1.2 which means no rooting.

I heard some people saying that downgrading firmware bricks their device, but what about upgrading firmware? My plan is to at least manually upgrade to 5.1.1, which is the latest upgrade able to root. Is there a risk in doing so, or should I just stay on 5.0.1 and root from there? Not sure if there are crucial differences between 5.0.1 and 5.1.1.
