So I was chatting with Samsung support and I decided to ask if themes will be able for the regular Galaxy S5? And they said yes... Here is an image of some of that chat script:

Yes it's real not fake. I know some people have been wondering since a lower end Galaxy S5 (called Galaxy S5 neo) has themes if the regular Galaxy S5 will get them. As I know it's the Verizon Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V) since that is the device I have and was in support with. But I can't wait for the marshmallow update and to try all the newer features like themes and Good Lock.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but most people have already received the MM update on their S5s, and there are no themes or good lock included
Apart from a few new icons, boot logo and some permissions settings, it is identical visually to Lollipop, no new features

Didn't see this here yet.... shoot me if it is.
http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/23/galaxy-gear-compatibility-gs4-gs3-note2/
If you wanted live out your Inspector Gadget fantasies, but lacked the Galaxy Note 3 needed to take full advantage of the possibilities, we've got good news. Samsung's bringing compatibility for its Galaxy Gear to the previously-mentioned Galaxy S 4 as well as the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II through an Android 4.3 update. While those are the big ones, the wearable will soon hook up to a whole swathe of Samsung devices (Galaxy S4 Mini, S4 Active, Mega 5.8, Mega 6.3, and Galaxy S4 Zoom) in an update arriving at the end of October. Naturally, the typical proviso for different release dates in different countries remains, but those flagship devices mentioned earlier will get the earliest access -- and will also be able to make and answer calls with the Gear, like a real inspector.

Hopefully sooner than later I can use my GNII with the Gear.
This is great.. hopefully I can get it to work finally. So far installing the .apk on my mega hasn't been successful. Always stuck in syncing.

You can use your Galaxy Note 2 with your GEAR via Android 4.3 as the following link for downloading rom : https://www.4shared.com/zip/CJdXMW_o...100XXEM16.html

Then you can use Note2 with GEAR,,
*** Wanna know your Note2 code is : N7100 ?? If yes, GO FOR IT. If not ... you have to wait.
I have been trying to hard to find a rom of 4.3 to use on my sprint s4 but the only one i find is real buggy with sms....anyone else have a sprint version s4 and found a rom.....
So to clarify: which device will get an update for Gear to work on it? Does the Gear or whatever device (S3, S4, etc) need the update for gear to work with it? I don't see that specific piece of info.
It was already posted. And we already knew that 4.3 rom = gear support (however supposedly that wasn't official if this is the official confirmation?!?)

This isn't quite new, but regardless: It only works with the international version.
Also, your post just reeks of bot/scam/annoying-ads
Hey, it's me again. I just got my S5 Active back from the Samsung Repair Center, and I was wondering since it already has its warranty voided, I should just root it.
The S5 and S5 Active are very similar, so should I be able to run an S5 Cyanogenmod ROM on my Active? I haven't found any S5A CM11 ROMs yet... Thanks. I believe the model is SM-870A. I was looking at this version from XDA. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2777265
Um.. No...you need an unlocked bootloader to flash that... Also that's in the unfied dev section..:what:. Pick a rom from the AT&T forum.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using XDA Free mobile app
Thats a negative sir. above post answers why. you can only use roms that can be loaded with safestrap.
Currently, I believe there is only one custom ROM made solely for compatibility with the active. Its tricky because there are indeed a couple software and hardware differences between the devices
There seems to be alot of mods for S5 Active http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=galaxy s5 active rom but all of those are for some damn AT&T model Anyone has idea if mods for international models are coming or are they so different from each other that it takes lots of time?

The (probably) wrong announcement by Three UK (in contrast to Three Ireland) that the S4 mini won't get an update to Lollipop because of memory restrictions (it has 1.5GB like the S5 mini) made me curious about the status of the S5 mini.
I found this page with the status of the rollouts for several Samsung devices:
http://samsung.youmobile.org/
So still no news for the S5 mini. It even seems that the S4 mini will get the update before (if it gets one at all).
Let's see if the sales figures of the S5 mini were good enough for an update or if Samsung will stall the development because of "memory limitations".

xda Samsung seems to listen to us and develope VR Apps that we want! Samsung is now presenting Samsung PhoneCast VR App! this allows us to use our beloved Video Apps like kodi on our Gear VR! Sounds pretty cool right? few months back people tried doing this but now we get a official solution
currently it's in beta and only supports the S8 and S8+. I hope in the future when it's out of the beta stage it will be available also for older devices. Can anyone test this app on their S8 / S8+? If I change the model to a SM-G955F on my Note 7 from a SM-G935F it's starts the app but I get a prompt to update my Firmware before I continue. Can someone disable those ckecks for device and firmware please?

That's been out for a couple months now.

It crashes on my galaxy S6 Edge Plus :crying:

I'm getting message on s8 Oreo that I'm not entitled to use it... Any other Oreo users have same issues?
Yep same here on my S8+.
I was wondering if it's region locked (I live in the UK), or it doesn't like Oreo.
Either way, it's pretty ridiculous.
What about note 5 android 7

Use hotspot shield set to US run occulus and run cast vr once then when working.
After that you won't need the vpn.
