really? never bother to buy such high-end phone before (as studying time). how would the promotion like? Like S7E 20% off + extra 1y warranty + memory card (64gb if not mistake) ?
Well I was there when Samsung doing the Note 5 promotion but not pre-order. It's on launch day, first 100 will get the promotion buy 1 Note 5, get another one for 50% off. Also wireless charger & powerbank from Samsung. That time was a huge mess. Later on become first 200 because it's Samsung fault.

Can't wait, hahaha
Yep, will go again if the deal is too nice to ignore
The registration says need proof of purchase, but I think proof of purchase like receipts won't have the purchaser's name tied to it right? If there's a purchaser's name, then what if the phone is sold off on lowyat to different ppl?
Any pro rooter/flasher here? How to modify theme icons? Like to add new icons, edit existing icons, and compile back to base.apk. I seems cannot make it work.
So this is a simple how to aimed to people with unrooted phones that still want to replace the icons inside Samsung Themes.
First of all, just a bit of theory
1) Samsung Thems are simple apk files, so you can edit them and re-install without any trouble, they don't need a particular signature by Samsung.
2) The icons inside such themes are in qmg format, which is a proprietary format that cannot be converted without Samsung Theme designer's kit or by using the built-in converter which is in our phones... It's something that packs a png file and an xml one andnot even imagemagick for Linux can convert it.... No problem, you can replace qmg files in themes with png files flawlessly, you just need to rename them as png
So, you need apk extractor (see play store) which can extract installed apk very easily (even system files) without root and apkeditor pro (see play store as well) wich is a very handy tool for minimal decompiling. I am not affiliated to apk editor pro and you can obviously do the same thing with apk tool and a pc, though this simple how to is for 'noob dummy themers' and it makes more sense to use just your phone than apktool.
Once you have installed such apps, open apk extractor and look for the apk you must edit. Let's say you want to edit the material theme by Cambunch (see galaxy store). So, you will find two apk files with cambunch etc.... Choose the first one, the one with the words appicon inside and extract it. It will be placed into the folder ExtractedApk
I don't like, in such theme, the icons for calendar and messages, which are green and yellow, so I replaced them with google original ones. Just download them somewhere and rename them to qmg. I mean, if the original file was named message.png, just rename it to message.qmg for example.
Now open apk editor pro and choose to edit an apk file, go to ExtractedApk folder, choose the theme you have extracted and choose simple edit....
You should see a partially decompiled apk.... Go to res folder and then open the drawable etc.. folder
Inside that folder you'll see several qmg files... Look for the one that refers to message (the names are quite self explanatory) and click the 'pen' option, then use the file manager to choose the icon message.qmg you've saved as said above and replace the original one with the new icon. It can obviously been done with any icon inside that folder.
Now follow the steps suggested by the app itself and install the new apk over the former and your theme will have been updated.
If the theme had already been applied, move to a different one (even the default one) and then apply it back to see the changes.
Got it from XDA
But the official Samsung theme inside the APK has another APKs inside. This is why it's hard to modified the icons. Tried it already, it said app not installed. Very hard this one.
Just wonder still have any stocks available coz it looks kinda cool. But I think the package with vr has made the whole set more expensive
Stock has finished everywhere in sammy store. Just available in either Mudah or Garage Sale. For Limited Edition (black VR, phone body, case, exclusive box, batarang), it's worth the money.
Just the Olympic Edition is kinda lame. Sell quite expensive for $849.
Anyone have solutions to this? :/ Still experiencing high cell standby battery drainage eventhough I am consistently using my phone during the day.
Thanks~
Download GSam Battery Monitor, buy the Pro it's worth it.
Monitor it for 3 days, and you will see why your battery drain faster than anyone else.
Beside that, it also have App Sucker to see which app is the culprit. After you know which app suck your battery juice, let us know.
Currently I use this app for my Marshall London Phone. Phone signal keep disconnect and reconnect every few hours when connecting to WiFi and it really drain my battery faster.
Question for rooters. If i do a factory reset while the device is rooted, what happened? Is there a problem like stuck at samsung logo, bricked or anything?
any pre-order promotion like S7Edge for Note 7? LOL
Just wait for it. Every time new flagship come out, Samsung very generous to give the early adopters a lot of promotion.
I'm not a brand 'fag' per se, but if other brands can do like Samsung did, I would definitely buy it. Like Sony Z5 Premium last year. Gives a lot of freebies if pre-ordered 2 weeks before it launched.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will officially be sold in stores from 19 August for a retail price of RM3,199. The phablet will come in three colours, which are Gold Platinum, Silver Titanium and Black Onyx.
