[Note 7 Questions & Answers] bjhill2112:
Absolutely! That's the great thing about Android. You can even choose to go with something completely different than Samsung's launcher. There's lots of different launchers that support themes. Nova and Apex are two popular options. Themes are also available for Samsung.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Zanr Zij:
1. Launcher and theme as mention above.

2. Ads free by Adguard on Play Store.

3. Disable almost apps anf module you want by EZ Disable Package or Package Disable Pro

4. Change dpi by Content Scaling or some commands through adb

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Jsteelmon:
I prefer not to root or tinker with my primary business phone because I don't want to have something not work as intended and miss a call or appointment.

The level of customization you can do with launchers and themes these days is almost on par with what you can achieve with a rooted device.

In addition to themes you can also download and install custom icon packs to customize the look of all of your icons.

For widgets you can get something like the Beautiful Widgets app that lets you customize various widgets for the device. It is very popular for people who like the HTC type clock widget look on their home screens.

Just do some searches on the play store for themes, icon packs, widgets, keyboards, etc and there are enough customization options to make your head spin.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] imatts:
For Home screens / App drawer / Folder, any Launcher will do. My all time fav, and most reliable recommendation is easily Nova Launcher.

- Nova lets you customize the font size, label colours, icon sizes, icon packs, homescreen grid, app drawer grid, homescreen gestures and so much more.

For custom button remapping, Button Remapper works perfectly without root. It will let you set custom actions for your physical buttons (swap the recent/back if you wish, or add hold functionality)

- The app is a bit limited without root in regards to added functionality, but its something!

- I believe the non-rooted version also allows you to map volume keys to add Music skip / pause functionality. (Correct me if im wrong!)

For global app / service disabling, definitely use Package Disabler Pro. It has a built in list of (currently) 97 apps considered unneeded, and gives you full control of every app.

- This has been proven to save battery btw!

For added Toggles in the Notification panel (not QuickPanel) there are hundreds of working apps that add their own little notification bar, fully interactive, that shows up as a notification card.

- It may seem a bit redundant considering Samsung's built in QuickPanel does mostly everything, but for a few things that may be missing (ie. Hotspot, Mobile Data, or specific functions like opening apps, setting gps/data to specific modes etc).

For ad blocking, you can use AdGuard. I havent personally tried this app, but it is highly recommended by most users in this forum.

For button backlight disabling / modding, you can use Button Backlight 2.

- It allows you to turn off button backlight completely, add a custom time, or have them on all the time

Android is so vastly open, even without root, if you ever feel like you are missing a certain function / feature, theres a very high chance that a solution would have been made long ago.

It never hurts to google what you wish to do. When I first got my Note 5 for example, the first phone with button backlights, I wanted to turn them off completely as well as swap the layout of them from recents home back, to back home recents. A few minutes later and I found myself using the two apps mentioned above, and a happy camper!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] trocchietto:
well it looks like I am really grateful to samsung to give me the possibilities under the hood. My dev friends scared me in every way saying that touch wiz is bloatware, that people think is really taking the control of the system, instead I found it effective, and most important of all I am happy samsung is not taking coltan from congolese mines.

I am also really grateful to you.

which tutorial do you recommend me to customize my themes? if there is an app, Gui super, otherwise I am also an android developer, so do not mind also to write some java/xml. Also i guess there is some design involved, which software should i use photoshop or gimp? Last but not least, as I use to test my apps, installing a lot of themes will decrease the perform, or the fact that is run one per time will not affect performance? thank you guys. Customization is everything for me, as bosters creativity:) and make the day more exciting

EDIT: I am wondering if downloading themes is safe in terms of malicious code.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] big_redfox:
I do not see any thread discussing features on GS5 marshmallow updates, so I am starting one.

Good Stuff

-- Wifi calling. When enabled, always tries to use wifi to call. Not sure how it works if wifi signal is fading. Does it revert to cell signal in real time?

Unlike T-mobile, airplane mode needs to be off to use wifi calling.

Not So Good Stuff

-- Less control in power saving mode. No more individual tweak for CPU power and display (gray scale). Only choices are power saving mode

and ultra power saving mode. Does it mean MM is more power efficient so we do not need those extra modes anymore?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] big_redfox:
Stock automatic brightness sucks in Marshmallow

Automatic brightness sucks now in Marshmallow. It is changed from static automatic from range bound. This is a Marshmallow change from Google. It suppose to work like this: you set a brightness point, and Android use ambient light sensor to adjust around the brightness point you set. I have a Nexus 5 phone and it works flawlessly.

With GS5, it never works right. This is always too dark in low light environment or too bright otherwise. Most of the time moving slider does not change anything when auto brightness is checked. Even if it responds once a while. Turning off the screen and on would reset it.

I did some research and downloaded Velis. It works surprisingly well. Will see if it drains battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] iJemuel:
I'm seeing huge improvements in battery life. I usually leave my phone in power saving mode on a desk during working hours and when I was in Lollipop, by the time I got out of work my battery would be at 42%. Today, my battery was at 91% after a 9 hour day. So far it's been on battery for almost 16 hours and is currently at 71%.

I will wait a few days and see if it settles down. My past experience is that the battery life gets worst after a fresh update for a few days and then goes back to normal.

I am missing the mobile hot spot though, it came in handy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] clovehitch:
Mobile Hotspot clarification

I just got the notification on my stock g900a a couple hours ago, and was looking for info on the update but have not found much yet, could you please clarify: does the update totally remove any option to use mobile hotspot? Just disable it, etc.?

I use this feature often while away from home and secure WiFi is not available for homework and other tasks where a keyboard is essential or a mobile device is not supported. I am hoping that there is some chance that the update just breaks it or something and the loss may not be permanent before I look in to blocking the update. I don't like 5.1.1, but loss of mobile hotspot would be a deal breaker; it was a major consideration into my initial choice to purchase.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] johnnynmonic:
Mobile hotspot works fine for me. Is it because it's unlocked and on another carrier? But that of course also means no wifi calling for me.

Automatic brightness control sucks. I get weird flickering instead of dimming when the screen starts to time out. Turn off auto brightness and it's fine. PG3 had the same problem for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mwrobe1:
I'm a big fan now of the update for the default Samsung Music Player (couldn't get it w/o MM)

You can't turn off the charger flap warning or disable the max volume warning...but you can at least disable the charger sound now.

Battery life is good...and I dare say (on both the official and unofficial official builds) consistent.

Wifi hotspot and tethering works for me.

Call quality is good. Call quality is REALLY nice when the other caller has a VOLTE capable phone.

In low signal areas...haven't had an issue with dropped calls or using mobile data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pickupman66:
Here are my thoughts.

1. I am getting some lag in the device. seems it does not hibernate apps well or just doesnt manage memory well. maybe I was just too used to a rooted device with greenify. I have tried greenify with no root but it just isnt the same. Pisses me of sometimes cause It gets REALLY laggy.

2. I cannot get mobile hot spot to work on ATT. It is supposedly enabled on my line (company device on company plan PER our ATT rep). but I get the attached error when I try it.

3. SMS fail to go through alot when on a Microcell. this issue stated with MM un-official and now Official.

4. I did get the battey cover and charge cover killed by using a debloater app. I just put phone in developer mode and enabled USB debug. then fired up this windows app and plugged computer in. it reads the apps and let me disable all the bloat crapola and the popupuiReceiver_m.apk app. Debloater by gatesJunior. Simple and easy to use.

http://xdaforums.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294

5. Battery Life has been pretty decent once it settled in. I did just get new batteries though.

6. I do second the audio qualty. I have noticed that some people are MUCH louder and easier to understand. Especially on my Wife's new S7Active.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] josemrx55:
Good stuff:

Better hearing quality in calls

New icons

Being able to hide system notifications in the lock screen (such as airplane mode or power saving)

Bad stuff:

I'm probably nitpicking but when you turn power saving mode on it turns the notification trail from transparent to this opaque gray, which I know it's in order to save battery but it looks bad.

[IMG="Power saving mode OFF"]http://i.imgur.com/BbKTXwR.png[/IMG]

[IMG="Power saving mode ON"]http://i.imgur.com/sCiS2DY.png[/IMG]

Also now the power saving notification is huge

[IMG="Power saving mode notification"]http://i.imgur.com/952AFq8.png[/IMG]

Also when you turn off the device and turn it on again or restart you can't unlock with fingerprints the first time with a messasge saying: ''Unable to use fingerprints after restarting device. Enter password.'' I know it's a MM security policy but it's annoying
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] big_redfox:
There is a choice to whether turn off all background data in power saving mode. If you did not turn on that one, you will get a much smaller notification msg. Mine only says "Device performance limited".

Yes, the gray notification bar for power saving mode is ugly. :cyclops:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Agent5150:
Battery life is not better. its either at par with lolipop or worse. If you think you are getting better battery life.. that is just a placebo effect. i.e. this is new stuff so must be because of it I am getting better battery. It could simply be 10 other things.

Overall zero value. not sure why I needed to update. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] big_redfox:
I read somewhere that MM doze mode would turn off a lot of services to save battery if the phone is stationary for a while. This could be the reason this guy sees a huge battery life improvement. He did state that he left the phone on the table.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] KingLinux01:
I like it.

I am always a fan of updating, except when it cost money. My battery life actually improved. It came from 1/2 of a day to 3/4 to 3/4 of a day to whole day. I like the new icon pack. Still had a lot of bloat ware. My speed improved. Yes I like it. Sad thing is. It came out after 7.0 came out :(.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pickupman66:
Check out this verbiage from greenify. The white list goes to apps that are not optimized.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jeraspie28:
I highly recommend using Package Disabler Pro v6.3b47. You can get it from Mobilism Market if you search for it. There are a lot of similar named apps but don't work nearly as well. Make sure you get v6.3b47.

Also, I just started experiencing the screen flickering issue on MM PG3. Eventually screen wouldn't even turn on. After a few days, I noticed it only happened at night and in the morning, not as bad during the day. I Googled the issue and basically, yes it is an auto-brightness issue and also related to the AMOLED screens the S5 has. This article, as well as others, give great detail and information as to why it happens and what is going on as well as practical solutions.

I also use ShutAppPremium v2.60. Great app that really kills processes fairly aggressively. Works great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] johnnynmonic:
Fwiw, none of the solutions for screen flickering worked for me EXCEPT: simply turning up the brightness on my phone. I had it set around 30% with auto brightness off. At that level, screen was always flickered when dimming, and when turning back on. But simply sliding the brightness up to about 60% solved the issue. Kind of annoying, because I like to have the brightness down to extend the battery life a bit. But whatever.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pickupman66:
That is very interesting. If I recall correctly I purchased my S5 soon after it was released. I have not had any screen flickering at all.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OreBoySwaggin:
My N915T (Tmo Edge) Recently started having random lag, lockup, reboot and unreadable emmc boot errors.

I hadn't done anything to my phone for days (mods, apps, flashing and the like) , and one day while trying to use Google Search it began the issues. Just randomly, out of the ordinary.

I tried several solutions, such as wiping cache and dalvik, odin flashing the latest OS, factory resetting, using a 3000mah battery instead of ZeroLemom 9000mah and with the most success -tearing the phone apart and blowing air all over it in hopes of removing any possible invasive particles. (lasted for 12 hours) What could be my problem? I was looking forward to keeping this phone for a long time.

Hi,

I'm quite new in this forum.

I' using a Orange SPV M650.

I tried the Aje_fr 1.80 Rom but it appears to be to much heavy for a professional daily use.:rolleyes:

I liked to use HTC Home Plugin but i did'nt like to use contact manager.

So i decided to bring my configuration back to an Htc Rom (HTC_P3300_FRA_3.13.406.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R). I steel have a problem with the GPS.

I tried to use Kulbutor Patch for SPV and soft reset my PDA without any success.

I would appreciate if you could help me to :

- bring my GPS to a functional one

- find the cab to use AGPS+

- find the cab to install HTC Home plugin V2

Thanks for your help !!!
[One (M7) General] itsthekidbigc:
Hey everybody, I know the struggle of trying to get a new ROM to bring new life into your old M7 but all the Roms the gps doesn't work.

This never bothered me until Pokemon go came out lol, well there's an easy fix. Takes a little bit to make happen so have your phone charged and/or be by your charger.

Ok here it is..

You will need a copy of the HTC stock ROM and a copy of the new ROM you are looking to use.

Download the new ROM of your choosing and flash it via twrp.

Setup your ROM and get it how you like it. Once all that's done, go into twrp and make a backup of your new ROM.

Now it's time to wipe the ROM and factory reset via twrp.

Once that is complete, flash the stock ROM.

Now boot the stock ROM and grab some food and don't do this if you need your phone in the next half hour. After 10-20 minutes of the ROM setting itself up, turn on GPS and load Google maps.

Now some more waiting..

You need to let the app run and search for GPS with WI-FI off until it locks on to your location, which might take another 10 or so minutes.

Once you've locked onto your location, close the app. Wait a minute, open it back up and make sure it's got your location just to be safe.

OK! We're about 75% done!

Now reboot back into Twrp. All you do now is go into the restore option and restore the backup you originally made. Do not wipe/reset before you do this just go right to restore and restore the backup we made at the beginning of this post.

Voilà!!

Now reboot your phone, and the gps will work on the custom Rom your using.

I've tested this on the GPE M7 Rom as well as Cyanogen Mod.
