No Tuch Wiz 4 - 2.3.3 update coming next month

i had talk with a guy working in samsung he told me that there is no tuchwiz 4 for galaxy s and update is expected in april ( In europe)
Same funcations as I9000XWJV1 with bug fix

Damn, again a "had talk with a guy working in samsung he told me that" thread. Again a waste of time ;s

Well i believe we will get 2.3 final when there ready and not a moment before

too bad, would really love touch wizz 4.0
i don't like the icons in touchwizz 3.0, they are to big

as tw 4 is the only real benefit of the s2 i 'd really wonder if samsung was so stupid to give it to the galaxy s users.
i'd probably fire the responsible manager as sammy marketing chief if that actually happens as user i hope for tw4 of course, cant be worse than tw3 or cm as it is atm.

I would like to try TouchWiz 4. The YouTube videos of the SGS2 seems to be very nice. TouchWiz 3 was great, but has some problems, like the homescreen is left and not in the middle.

We wont get tw4 as we are only single prossesor and that will be reason and all these mates at samsung stories starting to get boaring only fact is beta out and final will be realesed when they decide to .be content with what we have amd thats the number 1 mobile on planet that initself should suffice but we want gingerbread are we ever going to be satisfied i dout it

That's a fact. However, I'm sure TW4 will be ported by someone someday. Hopefully.

For that you could try gtg465x's modded touchwiz 3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822523. It has middle homescreen, adds alphabetical order of app drawer and a nice 5 columns fixed apps on the bottom. You only need a rooted device and works on stock ROMs

Are people realy taking this kinda post seriously?

Can we have an "Anti-Thanks" or "Kick" button, please?

Well i do also know around 100 people at the nordic samsung support and they have no clue when 2.3 will be out but as they say seeing that 2.2.1 did just get released again i wont expect it before the nexus s are on 2.4 lool... or like this... around summer time.

Hear hear i second yhat

WHAT THE... hell! And what about far superior hardware? Does this not count at all?

bah..tw3 or 4 are slowly and heavy ,,realy i prefer cyanogenmod..

I hear that the 2.3 will come out before Milestone 2.2.
p.s. I just a angry mob just switch from MS to I9000

Still no Gingerbread/beard so I guess we'll just have to wait until end of March/beginning of April which is just around the corner. =)

A guy at work told me that his cousin's wife works at Samsung somwhere. She said that 2.3 will in fact have touchwiz 5.

The china market has started their price war? lol
anyway, i want to share this with you guys,and i am still considering which tablet i should get...

This is certainly NOT Honeycomb. It's a Gingerbread lookalike which uses CM7 as base and is skinned like HC.

Unfortunately these $200 and under fake craps are what makes android look bad..

ICS On Galaxy SII

I just managed to get ICS on my SII! Waited for so long and a little disapointed... There isn't that much of a difference from what I can see.

What were you expecting?

ICS is good as a secondary rom. This goes for official samsung releases as well as cm9/aosp/aokp.
Stick with gingerbread. It's still the best.

I find some of the ICS roms very polished and functional. I don't think I could go back to GB. Just curious why you think GB is better?

Is this Samsung ICS or Android ICS as Samsungs ICS is terrible and htey have destroyed it, the Android Stock ICs is much better

Yeah stock ics with touchwiz must be pretty depressing... But I would always prefer a good ics custom rom to one with GB! I love the ICS design

I'm not going to compare AOSP/AOKP roms with Samsung ICS. They are a joke compared to what you get in a stock samsung firmware.
Comparing samsung ics and gb... GB has less gestures and small polished features (contacts, dialer) however it offers the best browser on any phone. As a comparison, install flash player and open up youtube.com, scroll down and switch to the desktop version. Compare scrolling. zooming in. Now try to play a video using the browser. GB is super smooth never lags. Same goes with big websites that have lots of ads and flash content.
GB never force closes. It's super stable. It doesn't eat as much battery with screen on. It doesn't have the data usage info, nor the fancy task switching.
Also the stock samsung gallery is awful compared to what you get in aosp ics...
However, overall I rate it the highest for stability, functionality and great battery life. I'm sorry but ICS just doesn't cut it for me. To be honest I wish they would put out an anniversary gingerbread build with everything maxed out (like they do for the I9001 for example).
I'm not hating on ics. It's a step forward, it's just it hasn't reached the level of GB in terms of daily usage. Maybe one day.

if it wasnt for this free community android would be a mess or the manufacturers may feel obliged to make a better rom,
when you think about it samsung must use thier Android phones stock i wonder if they think its sufficient

go with hydrog3n-ICS ROM

Android always rules whatever the system..every system has its flaws...the perfection is in the communtity that we have..the hard work of rom makers..
and we are thankfull to them.. but my wife don't...lool ics rules on my 9100 with batista foxhound ...PEACE...

Have U looked at SlimICS?
Great fast, stable

G3 Lollipop update in few weeks [screenshot]

We knew LG is going to release it before end of the year, but as we can see work on the update is in advanced state already.
Screenshot shows that interface isn't going to be changed dramatically. IMO that's a good thing.

If they were going to release a rom before the end of 2014 (less than 2 months away) they were always going to have the rom in a near complete state by the middle of this month at the latest.

Mixture of lg's ui and lollipop's ui...
It is awkward

I have a feeling it's going to be a horrible mess of elements.

I doubt about "a few".... 2 or 9 . Anyway, this is a good new.

Oh man. That quick settings panel looks horrible. I hope the finished product doesn't carry those Optimus UI elements.

Jesus, that's terrible looking.

LG
Please dont use this disgusting color in lollipop
It is not appropriate color for lollipop

Why the softkey doesn't change ?

It's not final.
I don't know why are you telling it looks horrible. G3 UI is flat and fits material design. Notifications look same as on N5 + quick settings. Nothing horrible here imo...

There are already Lollipop KDZs for the F400 variants out there now! You gotta pay for them on this site but Im sure they will surface "other" places very soon
http://www.lgbbs.net/forum-65-1.html

Honestly I wished LG would provide us a more "vanilla" look... Apart from the introduction screen and notification panel not much seem to have change graphically :/
Just hoping it's not the final look

I just wish they would forget about updating to Lollipop and concentrate all of their available resources on properly optimising what we already have.

Oh god i am so hyped.

F' it! I think Im gonna buy the F400S Lollipop KDZ and attempt to port it over ot the D850. Looking that the screenshots, it uses the same kernel (3.4.0) as KK

You can probably already find a mirrored link to that kdz but gotta have google translate fired up to do so

Have a nice a day

supposedly it should look similar to 4.4.4
but this is based off a video upon one of the Sony YouTube channels

Yeah, but their can be some UI changes, like many OEM´s did e.g. Motorola, LG and Samsung.

I really never thought i would say it but samsung UI looks quite good on Lollipop, atleast the status bar colour change and recent cards stacks have been implemented nicely, could've done better with the notification and quick settings. HTC seems to have completely removed everything material. its all greyed out.
Here's to hoping sony doesn't remove too much material design out from there update. :beer:

That of course will be foolish. Sony's UI while is mostly only skin deep, but it keeps the OS fluid and working smooth. what i would love to see is its theming system being improved. more on the tracks of like CM theme engine. even Samsung is saying it will allow users to change theme in future. while Sony already has a theming system, it just changing colour for most part, and with almost no change in notification panels or even icons for that matter. if they can do that while retaining the fluidity of the current version, that will be awesome.

I will like to see more "flatness" or more lollipop inspired theming without implemting much of AOSP. Like lollipop on Touchwiz, i actually like it very much, and LG´s G3 UI, it´s also very nice and cool. I will like to see something similar on Sony´s lollipop update.

Lollipop is like Android design from Gingerbread, there was most black and now most blue. Sammy design Looks like the hole System is blue.

I actually like Touchwiz even if it´s blue. But i think they could maybe blend more colors in

I'm so expecting
