I like the stock android multitasking don't get me wrong, but I like the expose styled multitasking of Sense 5. Would it be possible to get that on the GS4? (Or any phone for that matter. I remember on my HTC One Xl that you could get sense 4 multitasking on CM Roms)

That's normally something that has to be built into the rom. Maybe someone can make an xposed mod for it...?
Yeah that'd be awesome especially considering I already have exposded installed and ready

Guys please express your views on this topic
Personally, I find touchwiz to give my phone a more "filled" look with the amount of widgets and flat colors and icons. Phones like the GS4 look really nice with the updated Touchwiz skin. When it comes to the GS3 and under, the UI doesn't feel as polished to me. Plus on phones like ours, although battery isn't the greatest, the smoothness and customizing options keep me with that AOSP look, especially with 4.4 ROMs available
i also personally feel that touchwiz appers "filled" not even in s2 or s3 but also s4 ,i appears the handsets r working on touchwiz rather than android the android feel dissappers
As a Verizon Galaxy Note 4 owner, I feel it is pretty safe to assume that sometime within the next few months or so we should receive the next evolution of Android OS, Lollipop. Checking out videos of stock 5.0 developer preview, it looks pretty sweet. Nice animations, lock screen notifications, and other various improvements/features.
Seeing how Samsung has skinned just about every inch of their phones with touchwiz, I'm wondering what the community thinks will change with the UI with the upcoming update. Do you think there will be visual updates and additional features, or just purely under-the-hood changes.

Based on this preview, it looks like mainly under the hood stuff as TW still seems to be in full force
Do you mean how much will change from vanilla android lollipop versus Samsung lollipop or do you mean from current Samsung UI versus Samsung lollipop?
Because it does appear to be heavily skinned again, but everyone should have known that already. It also appears quite a bit is changing as far as visuals from current touchwiz.

Thanks, took a look at the video.
A tad disappointed with the overall implementation, but beggers can't be choosers. While I am a fan of the stock UI Google experience, I am also a fan of some touchwiz features. Wish there was a happy medium between Touchwiz and Stock Android
Also look up android l galaxy s5 there was a video previewing tw on android l.

I'm curious about Touchwiz skinned 4.4.4. and Touchwiz skinned 5.x
I know Vanilla Android vs Touchwiz Skinned Android will be vastly different animals... For better or for worse

Well. Looks like the video covers a lot of it. Samsung doesn't visually change much, ever. It is disappointing. Hopefully it's an early look and some more visual improvements will be made.
I agree with what most are saying..... However you are crazy if you think we will have it "in the next few months." I'd be willing to bet you don't have it until late next summer....
Samsung takes forever skinning new versions, then Verizon takes forever injecting their bloat in.. We have a worst case scenario.... Both Verizon and Samsung are slow with updates

We'll have it by late January at the latest.

Title of thread is a little misleading...maybe "What will Touchwiz look like on "Lollipop"?"

This seems like an updated build compared to the one I posted earlier.

The color palette seems to have been improved from the original video to this updated video. Design seems reminiscent of the UI design of the Note 4. More whites and blues, less greens and blacks

What do you think?
That we probably get it last... But touchwiz looks less ugly now.
Hi everyone!
I am currently considering buying a Note 4, watched and read reviews and I really like the big quad HD amoled screen, the camera, and the spen. But what I don't like is the software. The note version of ThouchWhiz sure has a few cool functions like multi window but I hate the design of the settings menu and status bar. And, of course Samsungs update speed is not the best. I currently own a Nexus 4 and I'd like to have a similar experience (Vanilla Android) on the Note 4, but with spen and fingerprint functionality similar to TouchWhiz. So here's my question: Is there a custom rom with similar functions or would I have to stick with TouchWhiz?
Thanks in advance

For the 910f, there's a cm12 rom available to flash but it loses some of the touchwiz functionality. You can't use multiwindow on cm12 and the spen works but it doesn't have most of the features from touchwiz. If you want these features then you have to stick with touchwiz I'd say cm12 is definitely worth a flash though and see if you like it
Edit: The fingerprint scanner doesn't work on cm12 and the 910f hasn't received official lollipop yet but the 910c has. I love my note 4 though and I even like the touchwiz that comes with it Highly recommended :good:
