Edge Panels/Feeds - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods

Since the Samsung Galaxy App Store is horrible when it comes to finding what you are looking for I'm making this OP to discuss/share Edge panels/feeds. If you have one that you find useful, or jsut want tot alk about them feel free to post below. I would like to see what types of extra functionality we can get from the edge besides media controls and other small things (edge feed)
I'm looking to try new things ones assuming there are more than the half dozen or so on the Galaxy App Store. I would like a edge feed for Google news, or maybe Google fit of possible.

I have there already a question. I saw in some Videos about the Phone a Football App but i couldnt find one on my own. Is there something like this?

Hm, on the website I linked it says the sport app should be preinstalled? I don't have my S7 yet, but have you tried checking the settings or anything? :/

That's also a possibility. I checked the Galaxy App Store and it doesn't have the Yahoo panels, so maybe someone could pull the files for you from their phone? If you know how I can do it, but this is my first Samsung phone in a long time

What carrier? Many of the U.S. carriers delete and/or add pre-installed apps. Especially Verizon. Might want to search on Yahoo and see if you can find anything.

Got the phone this morning and here are my thoughts on the Edge...
I'm coming from an LG G3 which is the same size screen but because of the Edge the Samsung screen is definitely small but I guess it makes the phone narrower too.
Now, on to the Edge panels...
Why are there only 5 spots for contacts when you can have two columns for other things?
My feeling is the Edge panels are just a gimmick as I have been using an app called SwipePad for years and it gives me short-cuts at a swipe and very customisable too with add ons.

Assuming you mean the UK promotion...
- Clear Samsung Store data
- Open a UK account.
- Download app.
- Clear data
- sign back into your normal account (if you have one).
- - Problem solved.
You assumed wrong. This is a Play Store app. Problem not solved. I appreciate the guide though. I can use that to get some new S-Pen apps.

LOL! That's alright man. I'm sure that in most cases, those are the apps an American would be looking for. But in my case, I just want the special "Note Edition" of the Wired news app. If you're somewhere across the pond, would you mind taking a look to see if it's available for you to download?

What if I used A vpn to connect my note to the Uk servers? I still have one I believe? I wonder if that would enable me to get it.
When I locate my vpn info and get home I will try this out.

I tried saying hello to the UK Google store by using TOR. Despite the fact I was routed through foreign IPs, it still gave me the US store >.>
So I'm not so sure a VPN would work, but hey, who knows! o.o

I dont see hwo hard it was to connect to the UK store, i got the 2 free games they have offered, Though what you also have to do is create a UK account, so delete your Samsung US account, and reset the Samsung App Store, then Launch the Samsung App store and register a new account, but under the Uk, after all that is done ect.. and email has been setup, then you can do the first steps again, and just log back in with your US account, and things still works

Also looks like we should get these apps as well if we can get wired: http://www.techweez.com/2012/08/23/galaxy-note-10-1-users-to-get-exclusive-content-from-samsung/
Did anyone figure this out? Can't find the Wired app anywhere - am in Ireland and using a US Note 10.1
Ive just downloaded this here in the UK and its not bad at all. There's only 2 editions available and each one is around 3 to 400 mb.
With me being a Multimedia Designer it looks like the app was created using Adobe Indesign CS6 which makes it look well put together, good image quality and looks rather slick, very good start..
still looking for the APK?

Well I donwloaded the file just to see the content and it seems to have two versions of augmented which I believe are paid apps. So posting this file (or link) is clearly against the xda policies. The other files are appwidget.apk, whatsappalerts.apk, watchnotifier, writer-email-1.apk, SMS-composer, Toggles, whereami.apk etc. I am not sure whether any of these are paid apps.
But I suggest the OP should remove the link. We are not pirates here Also to newcomers to the android world, I would not install any app from an unknown source. Only install apps which comes from a source you trust.
Yeah, I only d/l them from Play store (or some from amazon store). Posts like this one looks always more or less as a spam and suspicious.

Yea I think that feature was done on the stock samsung broawaer . It appears for whatever dumb reason verizon removed the samsung browser. Only way you can log into Web sites using the scanner is by downloading and setting up last pass. We get 3 months free from the galaxy gifts promo. I'd rather just use the stock browser thoigh.
There must be a way to download the stock browser?

But there are Zips floating around here to flash to enable it.
Seriously, are you disabled that you need an assistant?
Another service that constantly spies on your microphones. Google is as *excited* as the CIA.

Some people just want to watch the world burn. Ignore them, it's not an XDA thing.
There's an app on Google Play that I've tried and it works well, must be rooted though:

Good Lock 2018

Hey guys
Just thought I'd start a discussion for all the Good Lock fans here.
Good Lock basically gives you the ability to customize your Galaxy phone even further, it's almost like being rooted in some cases. If you're not familiar with here's a cool video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18DwNQSGwPY
Most of the users in the united states and Canada should be able to download it via the Galaxy store however since it's geolocked and might not be accessible in other countries here are some cool alternatives.
NiceLock: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-nicelock-goodlock-2019-launcher-pie-t3908648
BadLock: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/themes/app-t3805969
You can also APKs right here: Sammobile APKs: https://www.sammobile.com/apk/
Please feel free to contribute.
Enjoy! :good:
Not only in us and canada. It can also be downloaded in india
Here in The Netherlands I am unable to find it in the Galaxy Store.
I have tried a few apks but always getting this error.
Does this mean I won't be able to use Good Lock ever, or could it be an issue that will be sorted?

Hasn't been an issue since Good Lock 2018. That I know of. The original Good Lock from 2017 was super beta and had all types of bugs. The only bug I found is that the app slider doesn't work if you use the module that changes the recent cards.
