Hi All.
I have Galaxy S4, I'm wondering ... Will Samsung ever update S4 UI to S5 like UI officially ?!
the setting, and other stuff, that really will be cool.
HTC updated the M7 (last year flagship) to Sense 6, so why the Kitkat update for the S4 didn't came with the new skin & what they are waiting for ?
I.m not rooted & I don't like to root my device and I want that thing officially from Samsung.
There is other thread like this one: HERE

Any chance, later on, when galaxy s5 will come on market and developers play around with it, that galaxy s4 will get a rom like the galaxy s5's? I mean the better touchwiz, new settings, new toogles, etc....i just hope this will be made, cause i really don't wanna buy the S5, i don't find it a big improvement over S4 so i would love to have the S5 launcher and setting and blabla on my S4

maybe someone will port it in a future and if you check it here someone already release a settings UI and toggles look's just like s5
Is there any chance that Samsung will officially update the Touchwiz UI on S4 to match that of Galaxy S5?
While new Android versions have continued to be released for Galaxy S4, the UI has hardly changed. Even Note 3 has a different Touchwiz than S4.
HTC on the other hand has committed to releasing the new Sense 6 for the old HTC One. :good:

As for official update, I guess they'll push out an update containing the newer software features some time in the next 2-3 months.

Hopefully they do, theres no real reason not to, other than they want more people to buy the S5 than hang on to their S4.
The S3 got some of the S4 features/change when it got the last update to 4.3, so we should see some further changes, but probably not for a while as @modyt suggests.

Yes, I had read about the updates that came to S3 with the JB 4.3 update. But if Samsung is waiting to push UI changes with a new Android version update I think it will be quite a while (December 2014 or later may be).
@modyt - Thanks for those links. If I have to root then I am looking forward to CM ROM. Hopefully the sound bug will be solved by then.

Thats true, 4.4.3 looks like it is being tested at the moment by Google, so could be rolling out in the next month or so (obviously a bit longer to reach non-Nexus devices). Then there will be Google I/O in June (?) time, with the possibility of another update then. The next update could be around October/November when the Nexus 6 is likely to be released. Either way a lot of the S5 stuff has already been hacked to work on our S4, so if you're happy to go down the unofficial route for now you can.

The sound bug is gone, from what I've read. It was apparently a modem issue. And today's nightly has lots of fixes for audio recording too.

HTC One M7 got the new sense 6 :good: & this is really cool from HTC where updates for their UI is released in no time, but for Samsung they are really taking so so long for official updates !!!!!
That really let me feel so bad about Samsung, they just know how to release new smartphones but then they forget to update it.
Back when I had Sony, pretty much every time the phone was updated to a new version of Android, the phone got almost all of the features from newer phones. For example, with the JellyBean update, the Xperia S got the new Xperia Z launcher, Walkman, and media apps, and of course the revamped UI aesthetics.
Does Samsung usually do this as well? Or they just update the core OS and leave everything else as it was before?
Samsung maybe will do that but after months of waiting if you can and for few models, when the kitkat update to my GS4 it didn't change the luncher, Samsung is less active than Sony & htc in updating the skin .
I think we may get that update with the 4.4.3 update at July or August and maybe September.
shame on you SamSung
If Samsung bring out a S5 prime version then I think it be a much longer wait for any S5 apps coming over to the S4
Is no one trying to port these features to the GS4 in custom rom?

its already ported on S4 im using some of s5's apps on my i9500
Hello everyone, recently it was announced Android L and are eager to try it but the first beta are for nexus 5 and 7. My question is this: do you know if it will come out ROM with android L for S4?
Thanks in advance
yes, as it rolls out it will be ported to the s4 and eventually it will be built from aosp for the s4. You might even get a version of Android L TouchWiz in time.

if officially you ask. maybe, perhaps the last major update the s4 will get.
Someone is already porting Android L to the S4. So right now we just have to be patient.

Who? link please
Samsung is really so bad regarding updates they are the worst, Korean OEM's in general doesn't care about their customers and the update operation goes really very slow and bad.
look to Sony & HTC, they are really fast, some Sony models got the Kitkat 4.4.4, HTC promise to deliver the Android L after 90 days from official release with continuous update to the current smartphones Sense UI, the HTC One M7 & M8 got the latest Sense UI, but look at the Galaxy S4 owners still no new TouchWize UI, Samsung doesn't respect their customers, they just knew how to release new smartphone every few seconds and directly forget all about it as it is not exist.
Before Android L can someone tell me when we will get the new UI and the 4.4.4 ?!
dam you Samdung

Dears,
How is everyone doing?
I have been an Android user for many years (Nexus Flagship to be precise), last year I switched to the Galaxy S4 GPE and it was an amazing phone.
After the release of Galaxy S5, I have been waiting patiently for the release of the GPE, but there are no words yet other than the rumors, speculations, Google putting it's image on the store instead of the S4 by mistake. And that's it.
You may be wondering what this topic is about, I need an advise from you guys on:
1- Is there any hope for it to be released, or was the rumors about Google not going through the trouble of releasing it because of the heart rate and finger sensors.
2- If yes, how long do you think we will wait?
3- I HATE samsung TouchWIz and the bloats that comes with it, is there any custom Stock ROM for it yet?
4- Is there a stable Cyanogenmod for the S5 ?
Regards,
Oh, forgot to mention, the reason why I'm not interested in any other GPE devices is that they all together lack one thing I think it's important to have in a smartphone, a (DECENT CAMERA), every device released by Google whether it was a Nexus or something else lacks a good camera. :crying: as a photographer/multimedia user and a blogger, it is a necessary for me.

1 and 2 - read this thread >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2796346
3 and 4 - look in the development forums, if threads for what you want exist, then the answers are yes, else no.
Stick with the S4 or get an iPhone.
