Yeah, a bloated and slow UI bogging down my fast phone.

**** sense! That's why I bought a samsung device.
This should be in XDA general/general thread.
good day.

No i wouldnt use Sense either....if it was slow. Alot of people LOVE sense. I love the useability and friendlyness!!!
Chopper I know you hate sense. But I need eye candy man!
There are about 15 good devs working on getting The NEW sense UI on to ALL Galaxy S phones.
Its a Good option. Isnt that what Android is about? Options???
BTW were on the same team!!! Team Android!!!
Android = More Freedom + Choice + OPEN MINDS
Apple = Well .... nothing but Apple!!
And you gotta admit Sense has the best widgets!!!

If your phone was soooo fast, then it wouldnt get bogged.

[IDEA] Sensation ROM

Hi guys!
I'm an HTC user and a sense fan however i am very interested in SGS2 and thinking of buying it except that I'm a bit reluctant about the user interface and the overall user experience without the beautiful sense which in fact does make sense!
So i was just thinking if anyone thought of porting a Sensation ROM to the SGS2!
Imagine all that software beauty on this hardware beast! IMO it will be a fantastic combination!
So guys is that feasible?! Did somebody try it?!
PS: Don't flame me or something, it's just an idea...

Try searching the next time.

you had better to buy Sensation if you want the sense UI compatible with the hardware

search doesn't give you an aswer, I know the thread I am looking for but can never find it with search

Ok thx guys for all your replies!
However godutch the thread you posted is for SGS and not SGS2!!!
SGS2 can easily run Sense 3.0!
So I guess no one is working on it!

Talking about User Interface? SGS2's Touchwiz 4.0 is completely different from Touchwiz 3.0. It's more fluidic, intuitive, neat and bright. Try it once and I'm sure you won't want to have Sense in it,.

Sense to me is all show with very little go. Touchwiz 4 is CLEAN, quick, and simple. This is for the UI, the Apps (Email, messaging, dialer) are a different story.

Personally, I dislike both Sense and Touchwiz.

The email and messaging app are awesome (landscape mode = drool), the dialer....it looks like the stock dialer, no complaints there either. What is your problem with those apps exactly?

OUR PHONES CAN'T HANDLE ICS - samsung

Yes totally. The word goes out to NB. He is the man. In termed if my next phone. Well I can say that even though galaxy s is almost 2 years old it still has good support from xda because of the awesome hardware. So next phone will have to have hardware just as good or it won't get much support.

They mean Samsung Touchwiz ICS.
They bloat and put a hell more features and the package is about twice what AOSP ROM is.
Look at CM7 size and compare to Froyo Stock.

It's amazing what our phones can do when they're not bogged down by a bloated piece of **** like TouchWiz. Running ICS perfectly fine here, no thanks to Samsung.

you know i hate to say it, but i'm kinda curious what the 4.0 variant of TW will look like. and actually surprised with the sgs II 4.0.1 leaks no ones ripped that launcher over to the vibrant since the TW launcher does have a cult following.

The same ol' icons, the same noti. bar probably the only difference would be minor ones and "transitional effects"

Afternoon all,
just bought a galaxy tab 10.1 but not entirely impressed. Feels a bit laggy to me. I have an ipad2 too which hardly lags and works flawlessly.
Galaxy feels and looks better but what would i need to do to reduce the lag? whats the best rom available
I notice the lag alot when i swipe.

Install ADW Ex launcher if you want to stay stock, or flash the ICS ROM, and kiss the lag goodbye.
You are truly not seeing the potential with tab with the stock touch wiz.

All you need to do is read a few threads asking virtually the same question in the past several days.

Sockmonk3y's Sticky guide in the development section tells you exactly what to do. I like how he added a section right into the guide saying, if you want a custom ROM, now is the time. Sure helps know when to do it.
Personally, I like go launcher hd, which is just out of beta and the options to customize and theme it are almost non-existing so far, so I can't say its the best. I like go launcher ex a lot with So many themes and stuff to customize it rocks. But if you decide to go with go launcher hd later its a pain to start over.

I would suggest you root your tab immediately and if you are not too concerned with the Camera you should install ICS Kang from AOKP. But other wise best HC choice is GalaxyTask 14.
Galaxytask14 has some lag but the ICS roms are literally flawless and has amazing mods and one of the biggest secrets behind the ICS speed is that they do not have Samsung's bloat-ware.
So if you are one of those people who loves flawless experience at the expense of camera (until Samsung releases a rom with the Camera driver) ICS would be your best friend and believe me I have come from IOS too so I was always after total smoothness that I have found in ICS.
Hope this helps .................

[Q] Seriously...which one is Better?

Hey folks! My buddy just got the Galaxy Note and I was telling him about the awesome Developer custom firmware and mods...BUT then he told me, nothing beats the Official Firmware aka GingerBread with, in my opinion the Horrible TouchWiz UI. So I wanted to know your thoughts?
Am I wrong about TouchWiz being a bad representation of the Beauty of Android and not being Optimized for the Note...or am I biased?
All responses are welcome

Obviously it depends on what you prefer but i definitely prefer custom roms cause a) they usually are a lot smoother and b) they look better. And of course there's couple features you don't have on stock. Have a try?

I love ICS to death, but the lack of toggles in the notification bar really put a damper on things. I would recommend a Custom ICS ROM like CM9, or the sorts. Just look through the threads to see which was has the least amount of problems, or suits you best.

Oh this is NICE...A lot of Opinions I see, great! Keep em coming

My absolute ideal ROM would be a proper AOSP ROM(With fully optimized and compiled kernel) and Samsung's premium suite S-Note app. But for now I'm happy with AOSP CM9 ROM that I've been using as a daily diver.

TOTALLY agree with you.
my perfect ROM is 100% AOSP experience(no more touchwiz please) with FULL S-Pen functionality.
this would be perfect.

I'm still on stock GB, as I have a custom ICS ROM on my tablet and don't see the new features as enough of a reason to void my warranty having played with it for a while - and I'd like to get premium suite when it comes out too.
I did like TW when I first got the Note, especially the list display of the apps menu, but having tried various launchers (inc. sPB shell) I keep ending up back with ADW Ex which I love the tweakability of. It takes a while to learn what the different settings do but you can get a great UI experience from it once you've got it set up just right. I think TW would be so much better if you could tweak it a bit more to your own preferences.
I probably will root my Note and install a lean, custom ROM once my year's warranty is up, just for the performance benefits and lack of bloatware, but for now I'm happy with GB.
