Samsung released its next beast with plenty of new features and optimizations for better performance. Moreover Galaxy Note 7 comes with a new firmware known as GraceUX. If you have been following us you may have have seen that after the release of Galaxy Note 7 firmware, the other stuff was ported.
Galaxy Note 7 comes with Android 6.0.1 installed and this was great for the owners of previous Galaxy devices such as Note 4, Note 5, Galaxy S6, and Galaxy S7. All these devices received Marshmallow firmware through an OTA update. Now thanks to the amazing developers they can enjoy the Note 7 stuff because they have ported almost every application.
While you were sleeping the others were working. Firstly the developer released the Galaxy Note 7 firmware. Now after the release of firmware we come across with other stuff. In today’s post we are going to learn how to download and install Note 7 GraceUX stock app on previous Samsung devices.
To make the best of your device and enjoy all the new features of Galaxy Note 7 besides the stock apps you should also download Galaxy Note 7 launcher. If you own a Galaxy Note 5 probably you may want to try this Custom ROM based on Note 7 firmware.
These apps have been tested and they work perfect on Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 and S7 but according to the developer they should work also on almost all the other Samsung devices running Marshmallow firmware such as S7 Edge, Note 4, Galaxy S5 etc.
Warning: These apps will work only on Galaxy devices running stock Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow firmware. If you are using another ROM you should not try these apps otherwise you may end up is soft bricked device. If you want to download Galaxy Note 7 stock apps better install a stock firmware on your phone and then come again to install the apps.
Besides a stock firmware to install Galaxy Note 7 apps you you have to check also if your device is on a ODEX ROM. In this case you must delete the ARM folder. For a detailed guide how to install Galaxy Note 7 apps read below.

Download and install Galaxy Note 7 GraceUX stock apps
First of all I strongly recommend you to make a full backup of your ROM just in case. You will install the new apps overwriting the old ones. So if you want to restore back the only way is to backup the old one. If you have root access and a custom recovery installed then do a Nandroid backup. It will create a copy of your current firmware and it’s easy to restore back. If you don’t do a nandroid backup you would rather prefer using third-party apps.
Also you will need to know how to set the right permissions on Android. Without setting the exact permissions the Galaxy Note 7 apps won’t work. Hence read our post for a detailed step by step tutorial how to do that.
