I'm, using nova launcher's hidden nav bar and swipe up to pull it up.. but if I swipe in the bottom middle, samsung pay pops up. I don't see any option at all to turn that off anywhere.
HELP!
Did you look in the samsung pay app?? 3 dots and use favorite cards
Yep... And you have to have one active card... No way to remove it.

Have you tried disabling it?
Yeah I just disabled it and it went away.
I cant seem to find it to disable it... I'll look again. Is it called Samsung pay?
Edit: I was looking under batter to sleep it, and it looks like you have to disable it from the app list.
Thanks!

Just go to the Favorite cards area in the Samsung Pay app and disable them from use.

Is weird... I didn't have those options with the default included install. I installed again from the play store, and after installing it had to also install an update, and I DO now see those options!
I wonder if the default verizon install is a slightly different app, (probably worth Verizon snooping built in) lol!
At any rate, I still have it installed now so I can use that $5 debris, but it's not popping up every 2 minutes, so I'm a very happy camper!
To show my hidden Nav bar, here ya go. Swipe up, and it's transparent with visible buttons.

There are a lot of threads here and in the VZW forum about how terrible this device is, etc, without root. I'm a former flash-a-holic and my last several devices have all been Samsung on stock, albeit rooted, firmware. those of us preferring touchwiz have our reasons, and those who prefer aosp have theirs, but this isn't a "why we can't have aosp" thread, this is about making lemonade with what we have.
so, my reasons for wanting root, and how I worked around them:
1. ad blocking. I LOVE adaway, its seriously the first app I'd install on a new device after rooting. without root, give adblock plus a try. you can turn off the status bar notifications in the app and by ticking the box in the app manager.
its simple enough to disable apps on WiFi, just input the proxy host name and port and you're done. I hadn't ever found a clear and concise instruction on how to do this with mobile data, so here it is- create a NEW APN and copy all of the info from the stock APN, and add the proxy host name and port. done, you now have ad blocking on WiFi and mobile data, without root, and without persistent notifications.
2. de-bloating. first, the s5 has less bloat than the s3 or s4, but its still there. it is INCREADIBLY easy to disable or uninstall on this device. go to the app drawer and press the settings icon (or long press the app switcher button) and select uninstall/disable apps. if its ATT or Samsung, and you don't want it, odds are you can either uninstall or disable it. just make sure that in Samsung Apps you disable automatic updates over WiFi. you can also hide them.
myth busting time: IF you were rooted, and IF you manually removed bloat apps, you do NOT gain ANY additional usable space in device storage.
3. tether bypass. there are multiple threads here on how to do this. I have a 10gb plan so its a non issue here.
4. Writing to extSDcard. most built in apps like the browser, email, and camera will save to the ext SD card. so will my files, which is actually a LOT better than on the s3 or s4.
5. removing bloat bookmarks from the stock browser. I prefer the stock browser over chrome, call me crazy. I also don't like the 4 pre-loaded bookmarks being in my list. I saw a tip here to just create a folder called My Bookmarks or whatever you like and put your bookmarks there. the bloat is still there but its not staring you in the face.
so what else have you guys been doing to get functionality that was easy and convenient with root, but still attainable without?

Speed- I find that a lot of people nag about speed, my phone is fluid in all ways. Three factors play into this, using the TW launcher, animation speed, one last tricky one-- S-Voice has a delay on the home button waiting for the possible hook in for user prompting it. My standpoint is you can get from a TW rom the kind of speed or more that you can with a rom somebody else pre-tweaked for you.
Remedies below.
1. Get Nova Launcher (you can look into others if you like, if you want an experienced users perspective on speed, use Nova it flies)
2. Enable Developer Options(click About Device, click build number until it says Dev mode is enabled), Turn OFF animations for Transition window animation scale, transition animation scale and animator duration scale.
3. Open up S Voice (through the double-tap shortcut or in the app drawer). Tap the menu button in the top right corner (three dots) and find the "Open via home key" option under "Wake-up." Disable for slightly faster home button response.
Some people may find this abrupt transition between applications off putting at first but once you give it an hour the phone is flying so fast I could never go back. Enjoy!
As mentioned above:
Nova Launcher
Transitions at .5 or OFF
De-bloating (see this thread)
And - tasker, tasker, tasker!
My tip.. simple but I'm a customize nerd.
iFont available for free from the Play store allows you to add hundreds of fonts to your phone right from the app, and is compatible with the font selection from settings - display.You can also load fonts from the internet or your computer and use that as your default font.
The one lag, I still can't stand... despite all the animations being off is the lag between camera and gallery... like I take a photo, click the little image to view it and it sits there for at least 15 seconds before the gallery opens up. Anyone else have this issue?? I'm so used to CM based roms and still try to swipe to view the gallery LOL

This could be due to your SD card. If you are saving pics to external SD and your card is a lower class it will read and write data in a longer time frame. If you are using internal memory and not the SD card slot then I'm not sure. Backup everything and try a factory reset. I personally don't have an SD card, I don't see the need without root. Also it takes about 3 seconds for me to do what takes you 15. That's why I think an SD might be the Culprit here
There is 1 thing you can not do without root that is needed for me. I own a Pioneer Appradio and use ARUnchained which requires root. If you don't know what it is then look it up. It basically mirrors your phone and lets you use touch on Pioneers Appradio. I used this with my GS3 and if I would have known we wouldn't have root after this long I would have kept it and not bought the GS5. There is no getting around root for this. Pioneer's stock app has restrictions and doesn't let you mirror everything where as ARUnchained solves this problem.
I would like to find a way to save stuff from Dropbox to the external memory.

The menu button function is still there ... just long-press the recent apps button. If you've got a specific app that doesn't display the 3-dots menu somewhere on the screen, you might want to reach out to the developer. That's part of modern Android UX standards. I recently reached out to Untappd and they updated their app to include it pretty quickly.

Ah, gotcha. Unfortunately, short of root reassigning buttons, I don't think that's a desire that will see much traction in the future now that the UX standards require on-screen menus and more devices are coming out without any soft buttons at all. When you get down to it though, you're either tapping the bottom-left of your device or you're tapping the three dots on the screen.
Awesome app called quick click,let's you map your volume buttons for flashlight and a lot of others actions,just throwing it out there missed using xposed,mods with that.

I've used the S5 and figured out how to disable the magazine app, well, the S6 has a similar feature that uses Flipboard. I haven't been able to figure out how to disable.
Also, I have NO IDEA how to create a folder in the App Drawer.

Dunno about about the folders but you can hide (but maybe not disable) the Flipboard screen by unchecking its box in the "rearrange home screens" mode.

While the wrap around effect is long gone in TouchWiz, it is still implemented on most third party launchers. And call me crazy, but someone with so much experience should know how to simply add new pages and reassign the home page.

I wasn't asking how to rearrange home screens. The feature is alive and well in the 4. Don't see any benefit to removing it, but you're not really here for help or a discussion. Just to be argumentative and condescending.

Yep and it broke my subs black theme for messages. I had to uninstall reboot and reinstall. All good again. I get concerned when they update the UI because subs applied can crash the UI then we need a factory reset.
touchwiz also updated. the new drop down menu in home screen settings might be new for some people but I downloaded a previous apk version from sammoble.com that already had the notification pull down option. FYI sam mobile uploads most of the apks a lot quicker then Samsung lol.

Yes I 2nd that opinion... as hyped as Samsung Pay is, it's not widely compatible with a lot of UK banks so really what's the point if after many years from launch some of us are are still waiting.......
Samsung Pay is malware, like most Samsung bundled bloatware. Gallery was spammed with undismissable ads for onedrive in an effort to disable which I force stopped Samsung members and, for good measure, Samsung pay. Deleting data for Samsung Pay and clearing the cache caused it to reload, and it couldn't be dismissed. It overruled the Nova launcher apps drawer so that no apps could be opened.
It can't be got rid of by disabling (can't be disabled) or force stopping.
This meant that to make the phone basically functional again, Samsung pay had to be both signed into AND made default.
You have to open it and sign in, and then it gives you a 'choice' between making it the default payment app or shutting down. So no choice. Only once all that is done can you access its settings and turn off the quick access bar, notifications etc.
I hate their guts for wasting my time and energy like this, for trying to control me. I'd rather do almost anything now to make sure I allow them zero presence in my tech life.
Have not been able to find an easy way to root this s7 edge. With that done I'd soon deal with Samsung pay and its intrusive, evil ****ing bull****.

Hi all,
When I swipe right on the home screen it opens some sort of "News" page. Anyone know what app or service I need to kill to stop it? I have de-bloated almost everything using ADB AppControl but must have missed it.

The "shelf" I believe is the swipe down one. You can turn that off in settings. Swipe left opens a google news page by default; I haven't figured out how to turn it off tbh and have just gotten used to it, hahaha. I'm sure there's an app you can uninstall with adb to nuke it though.

i guess they changed it. the far left page used to be the shelf page.
Lethal injection, it'll stop directly
Just turn off the google application, you can remove the news bar on the left. Another way to turn it off is to go to the main page settings but it only supports the domestic rom
Thank you for the replies.
Now if I can just get this phone to play audio on every notification like it's supposed to.....Otherwise being a first time OnePlus user is great.
