Update Stock Samsung Apps to S8-S9 Version (Tested On S7 Edge Running Nougat 7.0)

[ars18]

Didn't see any threads on this, so I decided to do it myself.
These are the most recent app updates possible for these apps. They cannot be updated by the play store.
These apps were tested on a S7 Edge G935V. They should be working for any variant of the S7 Edge running 7.0.
Not tested on other devices or firmware versions. If you try, let everybody know of your success or failure.

-v_1.0-

Includes

1. Newest GRX modded Touchwiz home
2. Messaging
3. Contacts (includes phone app)
4. Camera
5. Calendar
6. Calculator

Please post or PM me with problems or app requests!

I'll be honest, I really don't know. I doubt it though because it's not signed with the system signature.

flash & update with recovery mode?

Yes. Sice you are not rooted, that would be the only way. Like I said, I don't think it will work. You can try though.

Yes, you can! Update your S7 Edge with April security update patch and install the apps individually.

Note:
1. Camera app crashes when launched.
2. Message app crashes when you tap to 'message' a person from 'Contacts' tab. Install this version instead -> 5.0.10.9
