[Working Galaxy S8 Apps] For Galaxy s7 Edge SM-G935F
- Thread starter SpChain
- Start date
Almost everyone with Nougat patch older than February facing this issue !
Something weird happened to me yesterday.
I tried just for fun to install weather app, weather forecast and theme (which previously could not install in the same device) and the installed perfectly. Then i unistalled them and restart the device and i cannot install them again (conflict problem)..... i am starting to believe that there is something running on the device that intervene with the installation process, and that if we stop it we will install all the apks with no problem. maybe someone can find this process

i tried force close some install related apps without luck yet. i also tried use battery related feuture i case they force close those apps, still no success

Contacts and Dialer do not work. Nor will they without having been modified and I believe having root access is also required. There's no benefit in having those apps unless you're on T-Mobile and don't have whitepages.
Touchwiz Launcher (6.1.09.2)
Messages (4.2.00.181)
Video Player (7.2.93.103)
Voice Recorder
My Files (4.1.63)
Finder (7.0.77)
Camera (6.5.69)
Gallery (5.3.04.204)
Photo Editor (2.1.33.15)
Enhanced Features (3.1.66.1)
Device Maintenance (1.0.25.5)
Those all work for me, I have left a few out as they can be updated via play store and have no difference to the S8 version other than dpi changes.
A lot of people have issues installing various versions of the S8 apps, and for the most part this is due to the code it was signed with. It seems some are based on different variants or region's but share the same key which causes conflict. Try uninstalling updates (if any exist), reboot phone, and try again. If it still fails after then try another version.
Anyone know if it's possible to bring back TW Launcher 5x6 app drawer without root? Can't seem to find an answer to that.
These are the versions, that are working fine for me...

Some of my Apps are not updated. I downloaded most of the APKs from APKMirror, what about you?
Waiting for a working "Contacts" apk file. Tried a lot of versions, but no luck.

A few of those you have, mainly the messages and camera, have seemingly off dpi for the S7 Edge. That might be due to the extensive theming on my device though.
You have the dual sim variant so there are going to be differences in what versions can be installed. From my understanding this inability to install some versions is in part due to the signature of the apk. I found a few that were meant for the Note 7 (fan edition) even.
APKMirror for everything just the same as you, however I recently was able to update some (most importantly launcher to v6.1.15) that I wasn't even after July update by taking it back a version that would install and then installing latest. Trial an error lol. T-Mobile and AT&T variants here in the states seem to be alike.
Contacts probably won't work ever without root but for those who don't get the Note 8 you'll likely have almost all the same features come Android O or maybe even Nougat 7.1.1.
Can you give more idea about theming or suggest an S8 kinda theme that will work for me? It there any other S8 look-a-like theme without 5 mins trial restriction?

The 5min trial can be avoided if there is something you already like, however themes from samsung store are very limited to what they change. Look at BoBCatRoM (Apachi)'s work as well as theme depot and eladios. I'm sure you'll find something there that appeals to you and unlike what is available via samsung theme store you'll have A LOT better of a theme. Soon there will be a tool that makes killing theme store quick/worry free but for now package disabler is needed.
PM me if you have trouble finding links to any of the work mentioned above. They're scattered across a few forums here on XDA.

Proceed with caution as the new apps are prompted as unknown sources when installing.
I will update when I try with new downloads from apkmirror.

AOD works, but music control within it does not.

Also, I updated TouchWiz Home to v6.1.50.2 & Samsung Music to v16.2.02.54 , both working just fine..
Still waiting for a working Contacts apk without that signal drop issues. Tried out a lot of versions from APKMIRROR, but yet no luck

Enhanced features to 3.1.68.2
Galaxy Apps to 4.2.12.46

Just don't update Samsung Pay or Samsung Pay Framework. Did you update finder, Samsung accounts, and backup & restore? Finder is crucial to touchwiz launcher and my files search.

Also, keyboard hides word suggestion box on screens that it once showed up on. I took it back s few versions due to that.
Not able to find a compatible version of "Finder" apk, tried almost all the versions from APK Mirror. Can you help me out???
Also, how is the "Backup & Restore" different from the default "Backup & Restore Manager" already present???
Android Version: 7.0

What version is finder apk that is currently installed? I have 7.1.11
It's mainly system lvl stuff but it won't work if one is missing or force closes.
