Need of a device with bootloader unlocked and rooted

1) Install the apk of Root Explorer version 4.0.2 at this link

http://it.apkhere.com/app/com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer

2) Open Root Explorer, go in the system folder and open the build.prop file with the text editor; search the string called

# [ASUS BSP] Nancy - ZE552KL default disable touch navbar

persist.asus.enable_navbar = 0

qcom.hw.aac.encoder = true

and change the value from 0 to 1; then save appropriately the modified file.

4) Now you need to give the right permissions to the file; just keep pressing on the file, then up, about the options that will appear on the file, click on the three vertical dots and then Permissions. You have to set it up as follows

5) Reboot your phone and you should find the soft keys of ZenUI; Now if you want to disable them again it will be enough to re-edit the build.prop files and reset the value to 0.

If you want, in addition, also disable the physical home hardware keys follow these simple steps

1) Download here

http://www103.zippyshare.com/v/sS8EF2Cm/file.html

the Xposed framework compatible with Zenfone 3

2) Download here

http://www55.zippyshare.com/v/YWm75uNz/file.html...

the apk of Xposed app that is need that you install immediately

3) After that, flash the Xposed framework by TWRP recovery and restart the device

At reboot go into Downloads section of Xposed app and research the module named "Xposed Additions". Install it, activate it with the check mark in the Modules section and restart the Zenfone. On restart, launch this application and go in Buttons section; Here click on "Add new Key" and, when you see the screen popup, click on any of the three hardware keys and then confirm with ok. Now go into the rule that you have created (that will bring the name of the button that you have pressed) and click on "Add New Condition"; Click on "Screen On" and then, in subrule that appears, put the check mark on the options "Click" and "Long Press". Repeat the same thing for the state "Screen Off" and "Lock Screen" always clicking on "Add new condition". Now you must only repeat the whole procedure again for the other two hardware buttons on the home and you you will have disabled all of them!

The hardware keys will be disabled?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Themes, Apps, and Mods] animaanimus:
Nope, they're still working. Had to use Xposed Additions to disable them.

Hey guys,

Just a place for former Note 7 users to vent / discuss etc. Going through a recall sucks. Going through it twice sucks more.

We can use this as a "phone comparison" thread talking about software differences or other things you miss, or whatever.

Just traded in my replacement Note 7 for the edge this morning (Canadian exynos version).

Missing the bigger screen, more symmetrical body, spen, and Grace UI already! Man, even the theme store is gimped!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] wajiman:
I honestly believe samaung should now provide a softaware upgrade to s7 porting all the new software features to s7. They both have near identical hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Ausboy 2011:
I reckon theyll so that
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] radioraheem2:
do you find that the S7 edge's steeper curves/edges make it harder to use the phone one handed? from what i read, the Note 7 was a huge improvement over the S7E in that because the curve got toned down a bit. on the S7E, i hear people complain that when they use it one hand and move their thumb around, alot of times the part of the palm under the thumb touches the touches, which lead to unwanted taps or for the screen to not respond because part of the palm is on the edge.

i have the note 7 and am considering switching over to the S7E, but i think the steeper edges would annoy me if the touch issue is indeed the case.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jmitr:
I was worried about that. athesticlly I much prefer the Note 7 edges, especially while watching media. I personally haven't had a problem with accidental touches.

I am now convinced both of my Note 7s (original and replacement) had a bad fingerprint sensor. They would both not register consistently, especially when my hands were cold (Im Canadian lol!). The S7E nails it every time.

At least my S7E is literally newer. Original built Aug 09, replacement Aug 31.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ironman38102:
I felt sorry for people owning Note 7 but at least you guys got free money
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jmitr:
Well not quite.

I pre-ordered the Note 7 for $1050, initially paying a $50 deposit (plus tax, coming to $56)

I then took advantage of the trade in ($200 for a dead flip phone) and paid tax on the remainder. My total bill was $976.

I also received the Gear Fit 2 as a pre order gift.

I just Traded in my 2nd (replacement) Note 7 for an S7E. I was given the $100 trade in (pretax credit) and the $200 pre tax trade in from the original Note 7 order. My total "debit" after the credits was $652. After my $976 "credit" I was left with $317 which was refunded to me. Both exchanges I only gave the phone, and was not asked for accessories.

In summary,

I paid $659 total tax in.

I have: An S7E, Gear Fit 2, 2 sets of Note 7 accessories (Chargers, cables, adapters, headphones etc.....and I kept the last spen for laughs).

So, I have some freebies and an S7E for $659 Canadian total. Is that worth the hassle of going through 2 recalls? For me it was an extra hassle as I am I Pilot with air Canada.

All in, I am impressed with the way Samsung handled this so far. They have kept me as a customer.

As a note, I purchased the Note 7 (preorder) outright from Samsung Canada at a Samsung Store. Both recalls were official from Health Canada, and as a Pilot I had to navigate bans from the FAA and Transport Canada (as well as the regulatory authorities of the other countries I fly into and out of).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ironman38102:
Ah the tax was the problem for you which is why you got less money back. I live in a tax free country and I heard from my friend that he got S7 Edge and the money which made him pretty happy.

Though funny that you are a pilot and had a Note 7, because with the Note 7 exploding I wonder how people travelling through plane or those who were like you managed so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jmitr:
I got caught "on the road" while the initial wave occurred. Samsung Canada totally dropped the ball. I went directly to the Samsung store upon getting back from my flights. At that point there was no official recall anywhere and they were referring to it as a "voluntary exchange program". They refused to refund me, and told me my device was perfectly safe. I did the right thing and put my Note 7 in sage storage and dug my old trusty HTC One M7 out of the drawer. During my next pairing, the official recall rolled out, the FAA and Transport Canada reacted etc. Samsung still refused to give me a loaner device, and wouldn't accept my old one. Went to work again, Samsung started accepting returns, my new "safe model" arrived etc. I got back and had a week off. I enjoyed my new Note 7 and Samsung shipped a return box for my old one. Off I went to fly again and boom, bad reports coming and then a quick 2nd recall lol!

Samsung did things right the 2nd time.

Tax free the math would have worked out to paying $850 after trade in for the Note 7 (1050-200), then getting the new S7E for $550 (850 list - 200 trade in credit - 100 credit). I would have walked away with $300 exactly. Due to our taxes being higher on the initial purchase (math lol!) I actually ended up with more.

If you count the $250 value of the Gear fit 2 and the value of the 2 USB C quick chargers and accesories (lets call that $100, but probably worth more) than really we were not treated that badly.

That being said the Samsung rep (not a Samsung store employee, an actual rep from Samsung canada) said he expects former Note 7 owners to get a "sweet" offer on the spiritual successor to the Note series, along with a generous trade in value for our S7 or S7Es.

Dear S7E users:

Is the screen capture/long capture, and "GIF capture" features available in S7E/S7 or it has some third parties alternative instead?

A sobbing N7 User
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sa3d12:
Only long capture is availabe no GIF unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] wildwong:
Sosad, this is one of the funny feature N7 offered to me. Actually, S7E ports can enable many of the N7 pen feature, at least I can use my ADONIT MINI stylus till the next Note arrives...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ohdev:
With one handed it happens, but it happens more if you're laying on your back and holding the phone.

two things can decrease the effect.

1- put a back cover, which will decrease the touching side areas.

2- this only affects the keyboard, which is the most annoying problem:

Settings > Language and Input > Samsung Keyboard > Keyboard size>

decrease the width of the keyboard.

While the above may be temporary fixes, for me it's not acceptable at all, Samsung should optimize its software to understand unwanted touches and ignore them, for me the whole edge thing is crap :P
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mediumsteak:
Dang, my S7E was manufactuered July 1 according to this app. After about 3 weeks of ownership I noticed that the home button only works when depressed in the middle - when you press the left side it doesn't register as a click. On top of that, the audio crackles frequently when watching Youtube videos as well as when recording videos with the camera. I tried taking it back to Best Buy, but they refused to honor an exchange!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mankvl:
Samsung never stops failing with it's home button. Had a problem on S4 now my S7E home button clicks like with a brand new speaker inside it. Fells so cheap, my TAB S2 have a much better home button, dunno if replacing a device will help... a lot of ppl saying that button is clicky as hell and no one will help with that problem :/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cbutters:
There is no screen capture GIF option yet... but you can use an samsung add-on to capture gifs from your camera on the fly.

I'm a Note7 Refugee as well, after the recall I would have done the Note5, but no sd card :( so I opted for the international S7 Edge with Exynos instead of the t-mobile version with SD820. (It was cheaper, faster, multitasks way better and has better battery life. I'm relatively happy with it other than no S Pen. The "my knox" is less refined than the "secure folder" we had on Note7. I hope they update S7 Edge to include the "Secure Folder" version, as it is one of the best software features of the device.

So basically features the S7 Edge needs from the Note7 that are actually theoretically possible are:

-Animated Gif Screen Capture

-Secure Folder

-Always On Display that shows third party app notifications.

-GraceUX

If they get us those, Waiting till next year's "note" or "S8 Pro" device that has a stylus will be tolerable.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jmitr:
They should adopt a "capacitive" home button like the HTC 10.

Much more responsive and not prone to failure.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mankvl:
How is yours? Mine is extremely clicky and loud in the middle ok in left and right... If i press the button of the bottom only then there is no sound... Rly sand when flagship device feels so cheap just because of a home button. My friend also have s7e and his home button is more acceptable but still rly sad there is no fix for this stupid home button sound... Maybe only time will help...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jmitr:
Mine makes a click sound but seems to work well.

It seems no different then my 2 Note 7s, My Wife's 3 Note 4s (thank God for my carrier's protection plan lol!) or my Mother in Law's Note 5.

Just flew with a guy who's S4 has a really crappy home button.

I am holding out hope Sammy will switch to capacitive.

Just received my S7E replacement yesterday. Still not used to the size of the phone yet, it's too thin and light. And no S pen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jmitr:
I have a case (standard TPU) that I normally use. I took it off last night for the "naked" feel and dam I thought something was wrong with the phone, it wasn't responding to touches. I realized I was holding the edges. Now I know what people mean by the accidental touch issues.

I put my case back on which adds more "beef" to the edges and the problem went away but the Note 7 did NOT have this problem.

Hopefully the spen S8 variant has a 5.7" screen bare minimum and either with the Note 7 "edges" or flat. I'd be okay with flat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] pigglett:
Don't think you can ..that or I've not found how to yet :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Maris_:
You can download it from the play store. I was pleased to see all my notes sync up just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Heinous:
I guess I'm no longer a refugee. I've used the S7 Edge and Xperia XZ side by side and the Samsung is getting returned. The XZ gets blasted for having lower specs, but in use it is the better device for me. It's a better looking phone, the camera is as good or better, speakers are way better, it has USB C, and it doesn't have Touch Wiz. I thought I would miss the gorgeous Samsung display, but I watched several samples on both screens, side by side, in the highest resolution that each supported, and the Sony actually looks better. It's smaller, and only 1080p, but the picture is somehow clearer and the colors are more accurate. No issues with performance, despite the lower RAM.

If the Note 8 is anything like the 7, I'll probably get one when it comes out, but while the S7/Edge are excellent devices, they are not compelling enough to deal with TW all the time. I'm sure I'll miss Samsung Pay, though...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] makavelisk:
It's in the Galaxy App Store and it has all of the options. Of course it's not as amazing to use without the spen but they updated it on the 21st and has all of the old goodies including 2 sets of widgets and the action memo. I still use it all of the time through multi window and having it on the apps edge. Once you install you can sync you samsung account and every note and action memo come back. Miss my Note 7 but this holds me over until the next spen phone.

Oh and if you cant find it PM me and I have the old apk saved.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] pigglett:
It has not sync'd any of my notes from Note 3 or Note 7 ..when I swapped the from the 3 to 7 that picked them up fine but s note on S7E has not

Just replaced my Note 7 with S7 Edge yesterday. But I don't like the current TouchWiz Home (ver 2.1.50), I guess It wasn't Grace UX and I want to have that.

Currently my phone Is not rooted yet, is there anyway I can have the Grace UX?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jmitr:
with a custom ROM.

There was a grace UX theme on the theme store, it was pulled.

Anyone got any links to where to buy glass screen protector?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] djinn415:
I ordered this from Amazon. It looks like it's a Japanese brand giving me some hope that its good quality glass. It also has a 2.5 D edge which should contour nicely with the curved screen. Although its not edge to edge (understandable since its a curved screen), I hope it won't leave too large of a gap. I will post a review of it next week when the phone arrives.

I've been using my xa with no screen protection since July and so far not a scratch or mark on it seems the x range really does have 9h hardness glass as standard. I don't normally use devices without them but they are either all ugly as hell, don't cover the whole screen or if they do they only stick at the edges allowing dirt and fluff etc to get under it.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Syberyon:
From what I've seen/read, the X line uses Gorilla glass.

XZ's screen feels different to the touch than the Z series' does.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] dillalade:
True RE adhesive.

And somewhat true RE screen responsiveness - but nothing that's majority a distraction in my opinion.

But the cutout for the front face camera is the main drawback. It's so perfect that the camera suffers from a shadow hue type artifact.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] ste2610:
I bought this one, entire screen coverage and curved to fit the phone perfectly, nice cut-outs too but unfortunately only has adhesive around the edges so I've already got dust trapped under the glass around where the cut-outs are :(

Might go for the roxfit one instead unless anyone could recommend better?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] crazymister:
I ordered this one today.

They have it in black, white and completely transparent. And should also protect around the edges.

Will try to remember to pay my findings when i get it, but will take a few weeks probably

I had finally decided I would look into a Note 5. I also skipped the last 2 notes and held out for the 7. I passed this time again when I saw the Note 5 was still going for $729 at T-Mobile. I know I am being ridiculous in the end. But if I wont pay that much for the S7/S7E and its damn near identical, there is no way I would pay that much for last years model.
