I installed it earlier. It brings the security up to July and it has the navigation bar changes as well.

I can confirm this is the case.

Installing now. Does it include the fix to prevent somebody from hijacking your WiFi to take over your phone? That came out fairly recently. Within the past couple of weeks.

I saw something about Bluetooth connection but it stated specifically issues with gear S3. Hopefully this will also improve my issues with BT connection to my Gear S2, because I can be 10' away and the phone loses connection.

The color choices? If so, you can get the black color back using adb commands. Super simple to do. Took me a couple minutes to get black back.

adb shell settings put global navigationbar_color -16777216
adb shell settings put global navigationbar_current_color -16777216

Don't you have to be rooted to do that? I haven't rooted and wasn't really planning on doing it.

Nope, no root required. Just connect to your pc and adb the command.

Semi-noob question. I have USB debugging turned on. Where do I input these commands once I am connected to my computer?

ADB commands are ran through a command prompt window on you're pc. Download the sdk tools, install the platform tools, launch the command window as shown in the tutorial and input the command I posted.

You dont need the google drivers

You can disable, so no harm no foul. I like it overall and appreciate the option.

I think he's talking about them taking away the choice of colors.

Anytime, but to be fair, I only copied what I found on XDA. The credit goes to those guys. Make sure you dont select any of the new colors or you will have to use that command again.
