Automatic default App setting - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

Does any one know if there is a way to disable the automatic saving as default app. Or bring back the 'just once' option.

I'd love this too, but it appears that they have removed this feature. I was looking at App Picker Classic, but I haven't been able to make it do what I want. YMMV

I don't see why they had to ruin a good thing. I wouldn't even mind if the automatic set they have was a default setting that ind could choose to disable, but taking away the the choice not set a default app blows. Hell it is unconstitutional.

Yup. Same feels here bro. Just like them removing the option for adoptable storage because they thought it would confuse people. Hopefully someone finds an ADB workaround or magic command like they did for adoptable storage to "fix" what Samsung broke.
Another one to try:

Same. This is so annoying especially for example when I I search in Google now and find d a restaurant. Then click share. It want
S to choose a default app to share with. And with the locked bootloader we are now just stuck.
Lame.

I think samsung removed it because they want people to usw their own apps more.

Someone on the mj6 leak said if you go to the quick toggle setup and reset it you'll get it back. But didn't work for me.

See if you can get 3minit framework and enable it.

Yup I tried the same logical step, but to no avail.. SMH at Samsung! I did download the Data Enabler Widget which does the same thing, but still disappointed as to why they would remove an important toggle.. At least give us an option to restore it!
What about the power toggles app? Does that not work?

I personally have never found a reason to want to toggle data on and off so I never even noticed it was missing. That being said, would you be able to use Tasker to watch for another quick toggle (such as S Beam or Blocking Mode) to activate/deactivate and then toggle data accordingly? At least that would give you a solution more closely related to what you are used to. Just a thought.

Action bar

Sorry I'm not sure what it's officially called but the bar to the side you can slide out for quick launching apps. I would like to know if there is a way to put whatever app I want in there instead of the limited choices they give you.

I don't really know if you can do this, I think if an app is not display in the quick launching apps that's because it isn't compatible with multi-tasking.
Mw app manager! Does exactly what I want! Awesome!!

Disable app drawer?

Was on Twitter and found this article http://m.androidcentral.com/samsung-labs-feature-galaxy-s7-lets-you-turn-app-drawer about removing the app drawer. I want to enable this feature but can't find the option in settings.
This is a setting that is probably disabled by us carriers..... I hope sprint and others leave it in but will probably have to root and install rom for it....

Why on earth would you wanna do that? Then it'd be like an iPhone with a bunch of apps you never use cluttering your home screen

Well what's wrong in having choice not everyone have to like the same thing and set up. For people who use very less number of apps I can see this being simple. Even with iPhone or without app drawer you can use one finger swipe down gesture and bring up app search control. I don't see a big deal without app drawer but I would prefer to leave it up to the user to decide if they want or not as a setting.

I thought it was only me, can't find galaxy labs anywhere
I'm using Huawei X2 for the last few months now, I have started wondering what's the use of App Drawer, first thing I will do when get my S7e is to disable it, hopefully it will be in the unlocked version's settings.

New TouchWiz UI for Marshmallow users, removes Sprint branding (no root)

Some of you may have seen this:
http://www.xda-developers.com/samsu...iz-is-a-ui-giant-leap-forward-two-steps-back/
Turns out it appears to work for the Note 4 Marshmellow users as well. I've been using it for only a little bit, one change I noticed is that it removes the Sprint branding in the upper left without requiring root. I searched for the app in Galaxy Apps, it wasn't available there, but you can download the apk attached to this post
The recent apps feature is pretty terrible, but it's something different you guys can try.
EDIT: I tried this with the fingerprint scanner, it made me not able to get past the lock screen, all I saw was a blank wallpaper. I guess it works on the Note 4 but not optimized for it. I was able to finally get past it by clicking on the notifications, messing with the settings on GoodLock, causing it to crash, and then my phone rebooted with it uninstalled.
This is interesting. I'm testing it out to see how it goes. Can you say anything about battery life compared to without it?

CAREFUL!! I just set up finger print scanner with this to see how it functions, now I can't get past the lock screen, all I see is my wallpaper, even in safe mode, I might have to do a hard reset :\
Edit: finally got past the fingerprint scanner after the app crashed and made my phone reboot, and then gave me the option to type in the password instead. It worked great prior to setting that portion up though, so mixed feelings about it so far.

negative. there's a lockscreen bypass you can flash in TWRP
it simply disables your lockscreen. I have seen it and for some time, had it, but no longer thanks to a goofed internalsd format ;(
if you find it, please post link!
It felt laggy to me, I've already taken it down. I love the notification bar though

not really imo, apart from letting you group notifications and setting alerts for them, and making the notification pull down menu look closer to stock android.
Edit: I take that back. When you take a screenshot now it comes up with 3 options, more/share/crop. If you hit more, it lets you take a scrolling screenshot without having to use the s-pen.

Alright, well, I jumped back on board to see if I could make this work for me. What I did was install the APK as usual and then used TB to delete the system UI (launcher). Since I use NOVA anyway, I also deleted TouchWiz and TouchWiz Easy crap... This setup has me running faster and with better battery life than ever before! Can't wait for a kernel for this MM situation!

That's crazy that you deleted TouchWiz, didn't even know that was possible lol, hopefully you don't run into any issues, because I had it crash once which caused it to just uninstall itself from my phone.
Good Lock updated with some gesture controls (Which I have yet to test) and bug fixes.

Is this easy to revert back to standard UI if I don't like it?

Edit: I'll answer my own q, there is an uninstall option in the settings.
This actually seems pretty nice, I appreciate the chance from the same old Samsung noti dropdown.
I am missing the wifi calling on quick settings already, however.
Three options in the settings. Uninstall is one of them

Nougat Device Maintenance on Verizon?

Did Verizon take out the damn device maintenance? If so, why the hell do they do this crap. Come on Verizon. Stop taking features that are supposed to be built into our phones away and putting in junk.

The options are in the setting menu already, however the ultra usefull app that let you just hit Optimize Now is gone. I had a shortcut already on my homescreen and it just says app not installed when I try to launch.
It's a ****ing shame that VZW decided to pull that out. One of the most useful tools on the device.

Why would it be called "torch"? That's what british people call it. Here in the US, they're called "flashlights". And on a phone, it should always be called flashlight, because you're literally using the camera's flash as a light.
that isn't the only omission, the mark as read and quick reply buttons from the message notification are gone also.
Settings>Three Dots (top right beside search)>View Simplified List>Device Maintenance
this works thank you, damn verizon just hide it, but it doesnt let you clear your ram or add to home screen or stop the programs.
VERIZON SUCKS BOOOOOOO GET A LIFE STOP OUR FREEDOM TO DO WHAT WE WANT
