This **** isnt OK Samsung!
When you use the dialer and hit contacts and then Keypad and then Contacts the screen goes black and redraws and lags like crap.
People use the dialer every time they use the phone and its just BAD.
How on earth do you think you will ever compete with iOS when you have glaring problems with the most basic functions.
The functionality is OK but the implementation is terrible.
If you cant make Touchwiz work then maybe you should just forget it and start over.
Oh and BTW Nature themes suck.
Rant over
Ps. Omega Rom rox
Works fine for me. Yes it does show an animation or transition or whatever you want to call it, but I see no lag.

Was about to click the link.. Then saw the post above you.. Saved from embarrassment
By the way I am typing from my phone.. So expect typos!!
That UI 'lag' or 'black screen' is because when you hit contacts your actually launching a new app (although it doesn't look like you have).
Samsung have just created the dialer app with a direct link to the contact app and vice versa but it is still in two separate apk's
I hate the implementation of the smart dial functionality. HTC Sense has vastly superior implementation. The Samsung version looks like they threw something together in a hurry and didn't finish it off. For a start the dialler only shows one result and there's a considerable delay to pop up the full list. Next there's the fact that there's no space key so I can't type say JspaceS to show John Smith and James Sullivan. Lastly there's the bug whereby if you have a title in the person's name, smart dial only finds the contact if you type the first letters of the title and not the name. If I have a Fr Joe Burns I have to type Fr for the name to show, J and B won't work. I wish Samsung could fix this.

I just installed CM10 Nightly on my wife's SII and it's faster to do both than my SIII. I can see the OP's point, really. Just sayin' that there is some room for optimisation there. No question about it.
Samsung really needs to work on its integration. They have good ideas dont get me wrong.. such as swipe to call on the names. But the way to make it all fit together really sucks

Is it possible to make custom unlock screens? I know people do make them but is there something like the iphone unlocker? but not an app because they don't work to well. I was just wondering if this was possible, Thanks
point to a direction of what it looks like as I have stayed clear of the iphone and I can see what I can do.
Like this with the battery and everything... Maybe a % in the battery to make it better than the crap iphone(;

that is pretty cool looking, that being said without a seperate apk we could never get it exactly the same but I know NOJ has been doing some really cool stuff with the vanilla lockscreen. I haven touched the vanilla screen yet so he would be the guy to talk to about that. I would send him a PM with the link and see what he says.
Okay I will. Im actually useing his lock screen as of now. I love it, but I just have always loved the iphone one. Also how is he doing that without a seprate apk? or is he using a seprate one?
EDIT: Do you know where I can find a post from NOJ? I can't find him to send him a PM.
I think an apk would be fine. Just like the HtcLockScreen.apk
I think what he meant was all the current ones from the market dont work to well.. Like Lock 2.0, it looks like the iphone but it doesnt work that well with staying as your lock screen.

In the forum over at hardwarezone.com.sg they have shown a couple of screens but also talk of problems in how to carry out a screen grab.
I thought Touchwiz could do this using the hardware buttons.
I have a note (got it from somewhere) that says:-
"While using the device, you can capture an image of a screen. While pressing and holding Back, press the Home key. The image will be saved in Gallery."
Thoughts please.
what i would like to know also is the screenshots i seen of the galaxy s and other youtube videos saying it has touchwiz 3.0
but looking at this samsung video the touchwiz 3.0 is different. or maybe it has to do with the wave ...
Id much prefer this interface ...

That's running the Bada OS which is found on the Wave
it's faster than Android and I would have bought the Wave if the 3g bands worked in the Americas but it doesn't offer support for 1900mhz yet, and the number of applications do not match that of Android (I need applications that are not found on Bada yet, can't assume they will also), aaaand since we can't put shortcuts to applications on the homepage :'( like on Android.
Touchwiz is the UI on it and on Android too, it is a bit different for the Wave since it's running Samsung's new OS, Bada OS. I prefer the TouchWiz 3 on the Android since we can use hardware buttons to go back or to open the menu instead of them being on the screen which take up space.
But they are very very similar since it's the nearly the same UI.
Just like this...

The version is the final beta but it's an old build *Tweetdeck says* but you can get it at droiddog dot com. Just look for the post.
I think it's very fast! Even on Edge it's speedy! However if they don't somehow integrate the columns like iphone and the desktop, it will be disappointing. You know how you can view each column like tweets, mentions dms, facebook and scroll thriugh them and click one to enlarge? i loved that look but it doesn't have it on this release. I am exited about it though and also, you can actually view people's wall, comment and like their status within the app
yaaaay!!
wow, it's been less than a week and already 2 quick updates out. Beta 3 is out. if you follow tweetdeck on twitter, they provide a link that you press and it downloads right to your phone after you press save, then press the downloaded software and it installs over the current one you have
works pretty damn good! wish it had myspace integrated and widget then i'd no longer use the native samsung feeds & updates

yeah i feel ya. I am so ready for the distant column view.. just like iPhone or the desktop where the notifications come on the inside when in the app or appear outside as normal when you're not using it. u get me?
Did they change it so you can set how often it updates? I tried the first beta and it was constantly updating. Needless to say it put a strain on my battery.

Hmm.. It doesn't look anywhere close to their iphone version, but again .. it's beta. I'd wait until they release the final version.
I'm liking this app!..seems much easier to use than the Facebook app and seems quicker too, good so far.
A lot of people want it on their phones, but what is it, and what makes it so good? Is it an aosp type rom kind of like cyanogen. Thanks and forgive the noobnes of the question.

Just another rom, just one with some serious eye candy. 2 things really turn me off of this rom. Its closed source nature (you never know what kind of **** is in there), and the fact it is chinese (which gives me serious doubts about the security of it).
Its slick looking tho.
Yes, it's an AOSP-based rom.
its like Android + Iphone + CIQ + Nike + Great Fire Wall of China
Yeah, I had heard it was chinese, which kind of turned me off to the idea. But other than that, just another aosp rom huh? I just don't understand why people go crazy over it. I've seen what it looks like...nothing special really. Thanks for the info though.

I ran it on my old evo, wasn't impressed.
It removes the app draw and puts every icon on the main screen, you can move them around, but clutters things.
It's themes are a great concept and look great if you're into what's available.
It messaging app sucks cajones, that's my general opinion.

I bet your shoes are made in China. Do you trust them? It's in English and has no spyware, or CIQ. The port for this phone however has several key features missing and no offense to the devs, it isn't quite ready for daily use. No builds have 4G. Epic's has unstable 3G, WiFi, GPS, and camera. The Devs are working hard though and trying to give us something to use.

#NotReal
..
I'm not too sure myself if this real or not, however what irks me is how people seem to be disappointed at googles lack of "cosmetic" changes.
Really?
It took ios five iterations before making major design changes to their software the- ability to change your wallpaper and implementation of folders. What they added the most was features. What google accomplished with gingerbread most was making the OS look as if it was made by one person and ICS looks no different.
WinPho7 Mango? Still looking square. What was added? FEATURES.
What I look forward to most is the the solution to fragmentation that plaguing the OS and talks of being optimized for dual core devices. At this age of Android design takes a backstage to performance.
Too ugly for you? Slap ADW or Launcher Pro and call it a day.
Top Reasons why its real
1.The lockscreen
2.The Transtion when he opened settings
3.Multitasking menu
4.The Widgets in app draw
5.The Settings menu
6.Screen rotation animation
7.Google apps folder
8.The launcher
why doesnt he just install rom manager and post it on here?
Google wiped it but they were able to get a system dump an there a few devs that have it including the legend Chainfire
