Samsung "Apps Edge" coming to S6 Edge? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

As many of you have have heard, the new S6 Edge plus is getting a new feature called "Apps Edge" which allows the user to have app shortcuts just like People Edge. Does anyone know if this feature is also being implemented into the original S6 Edge?

Just to be clear, you are saying that "Apps Edge" is available in Android 5.1.1 for the S6 Edge (NOT the Plus version with the stylus) right ?
Because I've done some searching after you mentioned it, but found no detail of this feature being added. I'm sorry, I just want to make sure, because I don't want to update my phone if it doesn't receive this feature. Thanks

Android 5.1. update is LIVE!! Yay! Build G925FXXU2BOFJ

T-Mobile Galaxy S5 just got the 5.1 update, build G900TUVU1FOF6.
The international set used to receive before US-sets but it seems T-Mobile is bucking the trend. Anyway, hope it is ported soon. Or we have our own official 5.1 firmware soon. :good:
Here's the link http://31.220.4.75/dl/TMB-G900TUVU1FOF6-20150622093044.zip
I wonder if we can run this on 900f with a custom kernel? What's the worst thing that would happen: soft brick? or need to flash ofw in odin?
Edit: Here's a mega mirror.
And here's a system dump with APK's and whatnot .
Can anyone post some screenshot of this release? Thanks in andvance!

Anything from the s6 included? Mostly interested in the new theme engine.

No new theme engine. Typical Samsung-style move - artificially forcing previous models to look and feel old by not updating touchwiz on them.

Samsung don't seem to introduce features from the new phones to older devices. Seen the same thing every year

Remember that Galaxy S2, born with Android 2.3.3, received the "Nature UX" namely TouchWiz 5.0 with same features of Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean on Galaxy S3. Maybe they think that the new Touchwiz is no such new than the "older" one on S5 KitKat nay on S5 Lollipop with white UI.

But that was a whole year after the S3 was released. And even then they disabled little things like waterrings unlock etc ONLY to make a point that the S2 is not the S3.
Hello,
Is there camera RAW/DNG support? (Camera2 API)

Some people are saying that there isn't any raw support, I can't confirm it though.

Yeah, best case scenario for when we get an official s6 rom is a whole year from now.
If they're gonna copy Apple and the iphone they might as well copy their update style and keep all devices with the same os and ui...
Although the thread has started with the Idea of Port, it has become Firmware Feature discussion. That should be happening in [SM-G900/F/K/L/W8/A/T/M] S5 Firmware Thread
Any firmware should be posted in that thread if its not there already. You can choose to Work with that OP if need be. This one needs to close as its duplication.

The OTA went out over a week ago.
People have been posting their experiences here and at other Android Forums. If I'm not mistaken the T-Mobile Note 4 also got the OTA about a week ago.
SamMobile are not always fast at getting the complete FW, as OTAs tend to go out 1st.

I've had the tar file for nearly a week. I've made a zip of both the 910p and 910t3 5.1.1 releases but neither of them will boot on the 910f. Log says it failed due to modem so I'm guessing we need the non-hlos.bin for it to boot. So it's a no go for now but I do know someone got my n910t3 zip to boot on the tmob

So it's not a long way for waiting , I hope
It's definitely been out for a while, though I held off a few extra days for a tweaked, flashable ROM to show up. Didn't want to give up my unlocked OB7 bootloader or root.
Thankfully, it didn't take long for that to happen!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/development/romstockishno-knox-8-7-15-sprint-t3174350
Much faster, recents menu lag is practically gone, Gear VR performance is noticeably smoother (GPU driver regression fixed?), and all in all, I'm pleased. This is how Lollipop should have launched to begin with.
Here's hoping the other variants get caught up soon, you all deserve it. If anything, I'm surprised Sprint is, well, sprinting out the gate with these updates, especially compared to carrier-unlocked models!

It's really weird that samsung isn't releasing the update to all users in all regions yet. Good to hear it is performing great! That at least we have something to look forward to.
Can someone with this ROM please download and run: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.vipek.camera2_compatibility_test
to check if they implemented Camera API 2?

Unfortunately, not a single camera2 feature's supported there. Word is the S6 still doesn't fare any better in that department, so perhaps Samsung just doesn't care.
It's quite a shame, as it could make the Note 4 that extra bit better, but I guess we'll just have to yank the camera driver out of another IMX240-equipped phone that does. Can't think of much other recourse at this point if Samsung won't bother.
S6 supports RAW, S5 has been updated with it too.
Note 4 NOT.

The S5 got DMG/RAW output? When did this happen?
Better check my mom's S5 then, it's still on OA6.

Two days ago I read about S6 firmware and I was mistaken - it was said:
Last week T-Mobile beat all other US carriers to the update, and in a surprise move began pushing out the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge with new features, bug fixes, and improved performance. That same update is now headed to one more carrier in the United States, as well as the older Galaxy S5.
The Galaxy S6 Android 5.1.1 update will feature changes to Samsung’s 16 megapixel camera, or the app. Included is RAW support and custom ISO values for the camera. It’s also expected to feature iOS-style exposures that will allow users to manage their exposure with simple on-screen controls. This is in addition to the return of Guest Mode allowing for multiple user accounts on one device, new motion effects, and more quick settings controls.

So it will be updated soon, not was updated.
My bad...
Note 4 N910F didn't get 5.1.1 yet

Android 6.0 release date prediction thread!

The S6 and the S6 Active on AT&T are the last high end devices on the US to recieve Marshmallow this is a new low for the carrier even T-Mobile got ir first ...
Can you guess a date? something is clear to me never buy from AT&T again XD
By this time in 2017 we will get it for sure. AT&T sucks.
Mark my words/text/post/prophesy! Any time between April and June 2016 we'll have Marshmallow! This is my prediction and it'll be a fact soon.
June 2016.
May or June 2016
Given that the press release for the Good Lock lock screen app from Samsung says that it supports the S6 Active with Marshmallow, I'm hoping the update is coming soon.
Its coming sooner than you think...

Yes.
Does this option comes from factory in OPT3 ? Or some tweaks or mods needed For this ?
Because Im using this feature of multi user on my galaxy s7 edge android 6.0.1 marshmallow ... it required root on samsung and also some other mods to enable this option
It works on stock OS. I always thought multi-user was an Android feature, not a specific ROM feature?
