2 Questions - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anybody know how to get chrome to always give me a desktop site instead of the mobile site? Also, has anybody figured out how to remove/replace the start up sound and graphic?

Weird, I did it the first time (before I asked here) and it didn't work, After you suggested it, I tried it again and it worked. Cool, thanks!!
Now for the second question, anybody figure out how to change/delete the the startup sound and or how to change the startup graphic yet?

Text input theming?

Okay so I've re-themed the phone and it really does look great, however, I'm a 'texter' and I can't find anything to change my input screen, handcent done a pretty good job for everything else message related but not the input screen. Also is it possible to disable the default messaging notifications?

Sorry buddy I have recently discovered that I can't see files on the xda app, how did you do it? Did you have to edit the message apk or was it in the framework?
Error when trying to install "Default input could not be installed on this phone."
Do I install this or mount the file?

I've deinstalled the default one (with titanium backup)and then installed this,but i think the best way is to use adb and replace the original.

Anychance of sharing the codes for doing this? I'm new to adb and not confident enough to go about it myself!
The easyest way is to use titanium backup(there is a free app on the market) to deinstall the original and then install this.
P.S. make a reboot after unistall

Just done this and everything is forcing close, even adw launcher, just done a cold restart and seems to be working okay, let's see what happens!
Still wont let me install this .apk file, still giving me the same error message, even after un-installing the original?

!!!!I got CM7 - I got CM7!!!!!

Thanks to the encouragement of a fellow XDA member (BearW815) I have finally decided to flash CM7 for the Photon. It was a adventure getting there. I already had my phone 1 click rooted - so all that remained was to unlock and install CWM. So I thought. Apparently the 1 click root and installing CWM do not jive together. So now I had to unroot and do the process all over again. The process has just been finished and chills shot down the spine to see CM7 on my photon. Not all sure what works and does not, but it is exciting to see it yet again!!! Oh how I missed you CM7!!!
Thanks to Cybik, Shabby, Mrinehart, QBKing, and BearW815 for all there help. You guys (or gals) rock and I am very appreciative. Now I have to create a quadratic class for my programming class and my phone is a huge distraction now!!!
Thanks again to you all!!!!
Glad you got working. Now go through the thread and find the few fixes you need (and I do mean a few). I only needed the mms and YouTube fix and it's running 100% now.

will do, I saw that going into root explorer and adjusting the build prop to 0's. The one thing I am having a problem finding is how to sync account, and I am not able to find how to get Market installed - any suggestions??
Search xda for the newer market app and try flashing that. 3.3.12 i believe

does android even support right-clicks?
long-pressing..k.. but anything else?
Wouldnt understand why someone would need that option... if you're missing something via your browser, try an app/mobile website?
should be workaround enough?

oh, well.. as there is no official WebOS-app for DropBox out by now there seems to be no choice but to consider changing to either another service, or OS.. guess right-clicking is not supported.. at least that's what I've read in a 2009er thread here https://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=448

SVoice On Sony Xperia S

I bought Sony Xperia S before 2 weeks. I heard that we can install samsung S-Voice on it. can somebody help how to do that, but i don't want root my device
Without root - no.
Google Now is much better than S-Voice. So Install Google now
Root your phone and install my rom , it has both S voice and google now

I did not understand what you trying to tell. Kindly can you explain.
He basically saying that SVoice is really just for show, to let you get a taster of voice commands and the is another app called 'Jeannie' which is a similar kind of thing.

Perhaps you should ask in the movie2k forums since that type of site is excluded from discussion on XDA.

That's interesting.
I've had Google+ installed on multiple ROM's and have never seen that app. And I didn't know that installing one app could automatically install other app(s).

Don't you know one apk can add two or more icons for different things? Like camera.apk in sense ROMs adds both camera and camcorder , like just gallery.apk adds gallery+camera on few jellybean. It could have been similar thing with Google+ though its not.
EDIT : I see you edited it yourself.

PS I got that icon too and I don't have Google +

An icon is one thing, but it was referenced in one of the posts above as a Google+ settings app. It doesn't appear to be that but instead an icon that gives access to the settings in Google Play Services 3.0.
I just cleared data for the "Google Play services" app and now I have the icon in my app drawer.
