Hi all,
I recently updated my s6 to stock Android 5.1.1 Sprint (G920PVPU3BOL1). It's all fine, except that I am missing some toggles in the notification panel (mobile data and hotspot, mostly). I made some research and it seems it is a general issue with galaxy s6. A workaround often suggested is installing "QuickPanel Restore" from the Galaxy Apps application. I got it and installed it, but it did not work.
Can anyone help ? It will be very much appreciated, thanks.

Hey guys, just registered on XDA, been lurking for some time playing around with various mods for the Nexus and GS3. This question is however related to the NFC capabilities of MROM by mmontuori found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172271&nocache=1
If anyone is using it is the menu option just hidden like the developer options were or is this functionality that has just not been implemented yet? I would like to use Google Wallet as I did previously on CM10. I have flashed GWallet and installed the APK on to my GS3 but have not yet been able to use it since installing MROM as there is no option to enable NFC under system wireless settings.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, cheers!
Bumping for great justice because the ROM author is not responsive.
I found some apps that work very well with the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone. I find theses apps very beneficial to my rooted phone's health and organization.
Titanium Back Up
ES File Explorer
Master Cleaner
- I find that this and the other CM apps, make my phone run like new still.
CM Security
CM Battery
- I found this to be very effective.
WiFi Tether Router
- This does very good with Sprint phones.
Xposed Installer
*- Xblast module is very effective when it comes to customizing your phone's look.
And on a side note. I installed FoxFi on my wife's new S5. And I found it interesting that I never had to debug the usb (which I forgot to do, lol). Very impressed with the S5.
This apps is for which android version???
4.4.2
I got the brand new T Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and love using it. I figured out that S Beam option is not available in the device to beam photos or videos. I found out that S Beam app is
listed out in the Apps section under Application Manager --> Applications --> All.
So I think S Beam app is shipped along with the device but for some reason it was not installed or enabled. I would like to know why it was not installed on the device. Is there any way to install S Beam app. BTW, my device is not rooted.

Hi there, unfortunatly the cool S-beam Feature found on previous galaxy devices was not developed for the Galaxy S6 nor the S6 edge.
the S-beam feature was sacrificed in order to to launch the new Samsung feature of wireless charging . it is still a great phone though with many other awesome features and hope you will enjoy it.

I had no idea where you get the information that S-Beam is sacrificed for the wireless charging. I personally thinks that wireless charging has nothing to do with S-Beam whatsoever (S4 and S5 can still have S-Beam even after using the special case for wireless charging).
S-Beam is working in S6, just differently (you can find "S Beam" in the Application Manager). Try beaming photos/videos from another Samsung device, and you'll notice the File Transfer is very fast. However the problem lies with sending from S6. For some reason Samsung limits this feature to just receiving files. If anyone finds out how to access the S-Beam feature and enabling it for sending as well please share.
Edit: Wireless Charging is not a "new" feature. Samsung just decided to include it in the phone since it doesn't have removeable battery anymore = no more removable back cover.
Hi guys,
So thanks to the note 5 port (with shinto kernel), my note 3 feels like a new device. Literally everything works, except gear 2 (is not syncing notifications). Did anyone figured out a workaround? Perhaps someone can post titanium backup of gear manager from latest t mobile stock lolipop? Thanks
Hi everyone. Firstly - thanks for making this AMAZING forum! I've been visiting here forever and always found things to make general device usage easier. Rarely have I ever had to make a post because the questions are already asked, and you guys are really amazing so there's really not much help that I can provide.
Today - I'm looking for assistance in making a decision. Which ROM to use.
I know there may be answers like - try them - find what works for you - and such but my problem is I've tried a few and nothing is perfect. Or problem-free. I'll list a few I've used and let you know what I'm looking for.
To be frank, if I could get the contacts to work in StockRomLite V2.0 or get the dialer / SMS in one of the AOSP / CM versions then that would be the end of this. If it's possible for me to use Titanium and remove those parts from one ROM and restore to another..........................please let me know!!!
LOOKING FOR
Everything works (functions of the phone - calling, wireless, etc).
Lollipop style keyboard with number pad at the top.
Phone doesn't slow down with usage.
Helium works.
Dialer has option to call from SIM1 or SIM2 off the bat (like stock).
SMS has option to send with SIM1 or SIM2 off the bat (like stock).
That's basically what I want. Here's what I've used and what I've found.
BlissPop
Most things work.
Doesn't have dialer/SMS similar to stock.
Things that don't work include Helium (depending on version).
Some elements erratic on screen.
CM/AOSP
Most things work.
Helium doesn't always restore. Mostly doesn't restore - depending on version of ROM.
Doesn't have dialer/SMS similar to stock.
StockROMLite
V2.0 - Just about everything works. Almost perfect but........
Contacts keeps crashing (android.process.acore) and nothing fixes it.
V1.3 - Helium doesn't restore anything at all.
S6 Lollipop Port
Most things work.
Slows down after being used for a bit.
Doesn't allow moving as many apps as AOSP/CM.
S5 Lollipop Port
Same as S6 but doesn't slow down even half as badly.
I've not seen any dialer /SMS app in the market that I could use to substitute the stock ones. If I could do this then I'd fish around the different CM/AOSP variants until I found one that works better. But. I'm kind of at the end of my rope. I always try to have the same handset for myself and my wife so I could troubleshoot the problems and give her the things with less headache, but it's been a while and I'm not sure how to proceed. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
*EDIT*
Actually what I'm going to do currently in my testing on my device is this..........restore a different OS like CM11/12/BlissPop/S5 Lollipop. Once done I'll restore my Helium backup then use Titanium to do the backup. Then put back StockROMLite 1.3 and restore from Titanium. Because Helium isn't working to do the restore at all. Also my wife's phone is currently on CM11 I think. And Titanium seems to be giving issues there. So I'd love to get this sorted and then just stick to whichever one just works. Thanks again in advance!
*EDIT*
Currently installing CM13 since dual SIM now works. It runs nicely but the inconvenience with the dialer / SMS would be my issue. I'll overlook that if everything else works however. Will post back and close the thread if that's the case. Oh yeah. Forgot to mention that with some other versions of AOSP/CM the dialer setting to "always ask" gets changed to SIM1 on reboot. Issue is present based on the version of AOSP/CM.
