[T-Mobile Note Edge Android Development] AlaskaLinuxUser:
To God be the glory, my Slim7 Nougat project finally works on the Note Edge!

This is a very slimmed down version of Android Nougat, almost a "vanilla" experience with a few tasteful perks! By design, this ROM comes without root for those who wish to have a "pure" version without the entanglements that come with root, but it can also be easily rooted by using chainfire's SuperSU (see below for instructions and downloads). In it's default form, it is perfect for those banking apps, workplaces, and games that require you to have a phone without root. No need for tricks or hacks, all while having the latest and greatest Android on your Samsung Galaxy Note Edge.

If you do decide to use root, then you will be pleasently surprised to know that Substratum and layering works with this ROM. While not perfect, for the most part it functions well in my initial testing. However, if you find problems arise after installing a theme, please remove the theme to make sure it is not a substratum related issue.

**** This is an UNOFFICIAL ROM. Install at your own risk! ****

A huge thanks to the SlimRoms team!

Another huge thanks goes to mickey387 for pioneering Nougat on the Note Edge!

Be sure to only choose the SLIM 7 version.

This Rom has been stable for me, however, Nougat is new, so be prepared for some little hic-ups here and there. Be sure to follow these installation steps very carefully, as they may be different then what you are used to.

!!!FIRST BOOT TAKES LONGER THAN 5 EARTH MINUTES TO COMPLETE!!!

!!!IF YOU FLASH SUPERSU, IT WILL REBOOT SEVERAL TIMES DURING INSTALL, THAT IS OKAY!!!

Installation instructions ( TO BE NON-ROOTED ) :

-YOU MUST BE ON THE 6.0.1 MODEM and BOOTLOADER!

-Download ROM, and if desired, AKLU kernel, and gapps, and put them on your phone's external storage.

-Reboot into recovery mode - TWRP (I personally installed this using 3.0.0-0).

-Backup what you had. (Just to be safe.)

-Wipe. (I personally wipe everything prior to flashing new roms, but at least do the basic wipe.)

-Install Rom.

-Install Gapps. - Optional

--> OPTIONAL - After first boot, then go back to recovery and install the AKLU kernel.

What works:
So far everything that I have tried works, such as
- Camera for video and pictures (use orange camera app, not traditional blue camera app.)
- Phone calls/receiving
- Data 2g/3g/LTE
- Bluetooth
- WiFi
- PTP/MTP
- GPS
- WiFi hotspot
- Multi-Window
- Fingerprint sensor* See notes.
etc....

What doesn't:
- Notification LED only shows RED and YELLOW. To show YELLOW, choose CYAN as the notification color, and it will show up YELLOW. All other color choices appear RED.
- The automatic time zone function forgets where you are alot. Use the manual time zone instead.
- Choosing to reboot the phone sometimes takes a loooong time. It may be better to Power off and then start the phone, which is faster for some reason.
- Built in blue camera app sometimes gets "stuck" or freezes or crashes, I tested several other camera apps, and all worked fine, including the orange camera app and opencamera from the fdroid repository.
- There is no "edge" feature at this time.
- Let me know in the forums if you find other issues.

Main Features:

- Merged with android-7.1.1_r13

- SlimDim, now with 100% more dimming

- SlimAction, Splits screen action (long press app in slim recent)

- SlimRecents, an alternative recents

- Notification log (long press statusbar header)

- Kill app from notification (long pres app notification)

- Substratum support (if rooted)

- OmniSwitcher built in so the kill function works with or without root.

- Advanced reboot (found under security settings).
