I'm thinking about getting the s7 edge. Is there any mods or hacks that allow the use of the edge panel like the note edge panels? I saw in a video use of some panels when the screen is off but what about when the screen is on?
No responses?
Is there any way to may make the edge mimic the way the edge worked for the note edge?

the features of the edge are there for the phone the way it is but......
is there a way to totally disable all edge features and have them off so that the screen and the edges are just 1 big screen ?

They're all in settings, so yes you ca simply turn them off.
Note 4 edge or the galaxy s6 edge? I really can't decide which one to get. I was wondering could you give me a little advice.
It depends on what you are after. If the curved glass is the biggest draw, I would go with the Note 4 Edge. The Note uses a separate but seamless screen for the curved edge and the Note has better curved screen functionality and curves more. The S6 edge is only slightly curved and just uses the main screen. This is a problem since there isnt any room to put apps on the GS6 edge. Also the GS6 edge screen notifications use the entire screen. This means functions like night clock light the entire screen with its backlight (like looking at a black wallpaper with the phone on). The Note 4 keeps the main screen off during edge only functions. Not to mention the Note 4 Edge still supports an sd card and removable battery and the battery life is great. The only real con of the Note 4 Edge is the plastic back and the asymetrical form.
With all that said, I have a Galaxy S6 Edge and I love it. It looks amazing and is fantastic to hold. I am not a fan of plastic at all and the metal and glass really compliment each other. I wanted the latest internal specs and this being Samsung's jump into 64 bit and built in wireless charging, I decided to upgrade from my Optimus G. Since money wasnt a big factor to me, i decided on the Edge over the regular. I decided not to get the Note 4 Edge since its too big for me and still more expensive than the GS6E. That beautiful, beautiful curved screen is the main reason I got it.
So it depends on what you value. If its visual appeal and newer hardware, get the S6 Edge. If you want a bigger phone with better removable and better battery/sd card and actually want to use the edge screen instead of just looking at it, get the Note 4 Edge. Hope that helps.
Also I think this is the wrong forum. You should post to general and not accessories.

I really liked the thought of the night clock until I saw it light up the entire screen. However the sports ticker that uses the same curved portion only lights up the text and not the whole screen. So it can be done, just I think they need to fix it or something.
I have both and like stated above it's just what you want out of the phone. The note edge is a beast and I prefer it over the s6 edge for functionality. One thing I don't like about the s6 edge is I find myself barely touching the other edge and messing up a lot of texts where I don't have that issue with the note edge. But the s6 edge is such a great looking phone and performance wise it's better. Also the camera is a beast by a little. Maybe it's because it's new but I've been using the s6 edge a little more because if the feel in hand. I am a little disappointed in the lack of the edge usage on the s6 but it makes sense because of the screen size.
Generally,both are the ultimate phone and could meet all your daily use, it depends on if you're a fan of big screen.
If you can't wait,go for galaxy s6 edge,sleek design and superb specs.. I have S6 Edge and it's worth it..
So other than the edge people, edge light thingy, notifications and nightstand, what does the edge display actually add to the device?
Is there any functional use?
When you're using the device, can other people see the display better than they would if you used a flat screen phone? So is privacy compromised because people can see your display from the side?
Is there any 3rd party apps (root or otherwise) that utilise the curved screen?

The Edge has very little use bar people edge or night clock but that might change as development continues.
As for the time being its aesthetics and dam does it look good

It's stunning. And it does feel extremely immersive when compared to those "flat" phones too. I haven't had a problem with screen privacy, the edges aren't that big. But the aesthetics are just.. Damn. And I also use the NightClock routinely. There are also upcoming apps on XDA, I already saw Music Controls for the Edge screen
But you won't truely understand the Edge until you tried it yourself, trust me

I have tried as i own one lol or was that kinda aimed at other prospect S6 Edge owners.
Yeh i was blown away by the S6 Edge what a beauty and yes until you try you wont get it. Watching videos and reading is so immersive and such a joy to hold and look at.
The development will continue to further enhance the edge utility. But on looks alone it was well worth me opting for it over the S6.
I couldn't justify the extra £7 per month for the edge so today I got the standard S6. Though I am kinda thinking I made the wrong decision and should get the LG G4 instead.
There's not much other than looking really cool. I forget about the contact thing, I never lay the phone down on its face, so it doesn't light up with the contact color, but I do use the edge clock at night. It's pretty cool and doesn't really light up the room.
I tested both S6 and S6 Edge before ordering the Edge. The Edge screen seems to have no bezels because of the edges. Indeed the image is different and it looks even better than the screens with very small bezels. I just felt that the phone has only up and down bezels and the image stops at the edge of the screen.

I'm standing before choosing to buy S6 or S6 Edge.
The question is simple - do We have any infos, predictions, SOMETHING how will look and work CM on curved screen of S6 Edge?
I understand that some (or even MOST) features will not work (is obvious at this point) but how will screen work?
Are curved screen part of main screen or are they separate (like 3 standalone displays)?
In simple words: is it ONE BIG CURVED screen or one flat and two curved mini screens?
This is just a S6 screen with modified screen edges, but the edges are part of the screen and not separated which means the S6 Edge doesn't need special or extra work compared to the S6 if that's what you want to know.

Thanks for info. Well, I asked this question because I realised that curved screen may stop working after flashing CM (after it will be published for users) - I mean that main part will work and edges will not (they will be blank or something).
That's not logic at all, this curved screen works like any other screen.
It's literally a flat screen with bent edges. So yes, it is 1 screen.
I got all answers - tread can be closed.
hi guys, i have two halos on the 2 sides of the screen...like the s7 edge. i know that on the s7 edge was normal because of curve screen, but is it normal on s9+?
