Enable Edge Features on Galaxy Note 5

Want to enjoy S6 Edge features on your Note 5? Okay, so we will help you enable Edge features on Galaxy Note 5. Read below on how to do it.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and Note 5 may belong to the same generation, but there’s a huge difference between the two, one of the major ones is the edge screen technology offered by the S6 Edge. Note 5 is good, and the Stylus makes it even great. But why limit yourself now?

Applauds for XDA members – Androidwizzard and thereassaad, who have worked hard collaboratively to create this cool MOD. You can now enable the same edge features from the S6 Edge+, on your Note 5. Well, the most happening downside would still be, that the Note 5 doesn’t have a curved screen. Apart from that, the functions work just the same way, but with the flat screen, in this case. So you will indeed get some feel of it.

So what do you get precisely? The edge notifications, you can swipe the edge to launch apps, open edge contacts, and circular contact actions, and you will also have the ability to choose whether to swipe out the edge from left or right. Install it and you find the other features yourself. Please note that News Line and Night Clock won’t work.
