Have you tried this, does it work?

And how to return to original if we don't like?

Not tried it with Nova Launcher and it does return to original size.

Reported to also work with other apps (see link comments).

Not tried this method:

I have tried this:

and it works fine and reverts back if you want to.

Quick! Somebody bang up an OFFICIAL thread on this device! Remember, it's not properly OFFICIAL unless you use more than fifty asterisks in the thread title...

Size of update is 87mb

Marshmellow is out for your modelhttp://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N920C/

android-fan · 25 Mar 2016 at 14:48

On Marshmallow already, this appears to be a further update

kitkat2015 · 25 Mar 2016 at 15:27

Looks like Cambodia has the latest but I don't see any change in the change list numbers.

Probably this month's Android security update.

Whet your appetite.

On sale in Europe from day 1 and maybe available as early as June... nice!

kitkat2015 · 9 Apr 2016 at 10:04

Judging by the price of the S7 Edge I bet the Note 6 will be well expensive, bet it's £700 +.

So probably still no 4k screen and therefore probably very little reason to upgrade, unless you're willing to pay £x00 for water resistance.

kitkat2015 · 9 Apr 2016 at 18:28

Maybe so, but I have the S7 edge & the note 5, I don't know what Samsung did to the screen on the edge but it looks so much clearer than the note 5. Both are great device's, cannot wait to see what the note 6 screen will be like.

Speak for yourself. Vr begs to differ.

Don't mind if I do.
