Nougat beta re-open for registration

Still getting server error on Verizon Galaxy S7 edge

I'm on Sprint, and was able to register yesterday - thank you OP!!
Just checked for OTA update and the Nougat beta is available for me to download now.
Before I upgrade, a question for those of you who have already installed Nougat:
- Do themes still work? I used Good Lock to customize my color for notifications panel and quick settings menu, and I'm not sure whether I will upgrade if I can't retain the darker color settings.
Thoughts? Thanks.

As others have noted, themes you had already downloaded will work. At least mine have...although I've had an occasional visual issue like the settings screen going from themed to all white that might be a theme glitch...but may be something else. That's infrequent, and otherwise my themes seem to work fine. I haven't installed and applied all I've used previously, but have used 2 or 3.

Good Lock doesn't work and is nowhere to be found. I miss my blacked out Notifications, too (and no folks, themes do not change the notifications to dark).

Same for me. Glad I'm not the only one

KPMcClave, that loss of blacked-out notifications was my precise concern. I really, really hate the white notification background and keep my phone at minimum brightness most of the time.
How well does Nougat's new night mode work?

I'm using it...and don't know. I haven't really noticed it.

Has anyone actually been able to enable the night mode in the beta? The instructions I found say to enable developer mode, download night mode enabler from the play store by Mike Evans. Open the app and pull down the notification shade. Long press the settings gear icon and then within the night mode enabler app, there will then be the setting to enable night mode.

I long press on the gear icon and nothing happens.

Other than that, night mode isn't enabled in the beta.

HOLYYYY COW, that night mode procedure sounds convoluted and complicated.
I think I will hold off on updating for now.
Samsung should allow a simple toggle under the Display menu for the user to choose light notification panel style, or dark.
Just a thought: might be a handy feature to have automatically switch the notification panel to a dark background whenever the user activated Night Mode or by a user-defined custom schedule.

Well the problem is, Samsung simply doesn't have the night mode enabled yet on the beta. The procedure that I found to supposedly enable it doesn't work.
