Saw this on the Samsung Mobile USA Facebook page. The screenshots don't resemble the current version of TouchWiz, is this our first look at ICS on the GS2? If so, I'm not impressed...
The footer does say screen images simulated, so I'm not sure.
Whats your opinion on this?
Source: Can't post until I have 8 posts...
PS: Please don't flame me if this is already known or just plain noob, I am new here. Just sharing what I found, as it may have some relevance.
ICS are blue themed, this is green!
Agreed - could be true that it is touchwiz 5 though to stop anymore lawsuits but def. not ICS.
all thing that we saw from ICS 4 was pics from galaxy nexus.May be the ICS for SGS 2 can be with some changes..
Both screenshots on the GS2 are rather different, so I'm not sure what it is...
Looks more like a custom launcher to me. Not very Samsung-ish or Google-ish
there are 2 different SGSII models, one with 4.2 inch and the other with 4.5 inch display.
each is designed for a different operator in us so the operator might asked for a different customization of the os.
the weather widgets are the same...
Is TW4

Looks like a PR screwup in the graphics department. This happens all the time.
It's possible I guess.. either way the shots are interesting. This was on samsung USA mobile?

I couldn't agree more. I want as close to stock ICS as possible (since I think ICS is pretty close to touchwiz 4.0). I really hope Samsung add the wifi/bluetooth/gps etc to the notification bar again, I love that feature.

I don't think that the look of the upcoming ICS Rom will have a lot of similarities with the Google ICS look.
They'll stay on TouchWiz and it will look like TouchWiz.
Samsung created TouchWiz to give the Phone a specific look and feel and to be different/better to their competitors. They'll not jump into another direction now.
A BMW is still looking like a BMW, a Mercedes like a Mercedes. Even if you remove the Logos.
Actually ICS is to much hyped. Everyone is expecting to much.
That's ICS:

I agree. We're starting to sound like Apple Fanboys

Sorry, it was on the Samsung Mobile Facebook page, not the website. Silly error on my part.
It's feeling more and more like its just a mockup, not anything that Sammy will release. But we'll see.
Lmao definetely not TW5 or Ice Cream Sandwich.

Freakin' hideous!
hell no that looks ugly
The statusbar is kinda remiscent of HTC's sense. The icons are just ugly. Take away message of these ads is, one can customize an Android phone (skin) to the point of it being unrecognizable (as well as unusable?).
Touchwiz is just a luncher, icons and a blue bar. The blue bar I now like, the launcher and icons are easily changable even without rooting.
Obviously a marketing guy pulled random screenshots off the internet. The second shot is showing an HTC Sense wallpaper, so stop worrying that this is Samsung's rendition of ICS. Look at the Galaxy Tabs with Honeycomb if you want to get an idea what TouchWiz on ICS will look like.
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

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

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

Hey guys..
I would like to ask you about an aosp rom with samsung futures.. cause i hate touchwiz.. the settings.. the statusbar and everything.. I have been searching for a long time but could not find anything about such roms.
So my question is: Is it possible to take a rom like CM 12 and add featuers like the power saving mode of TW or a fingerprintscanner support for that rom... Would be great to hear about a rom like that
Greetings.

No. Closed source makes it difficult. Personally I find touchwiz sufficient and can't wait for lollipop.
But couldn't anyone take the priv apps and port then for cm and add a setting for the priv apps then or something ?
And lollipop will be great... but much will be white.. they take a amoled display and then they do everything in white ?! Thats dumb...

And the entire set of framework code that will go with it
There's a reason no one has done it in the years that aosp and touchwiz custom ROMs have been around
Mods generally are written from scratch in aosp ROMs

If it were that simple I would do it myself, your only hope is a google play edition but I reckon even if we get one it won't have a fingerprint sensor. And I don't really believe the whole black is better battery thing. I mean sure pixels off is but a lot of the time we actually get pixels showing a dark shade rather than off. You would have to spend a lot of time in settings or sms to care is what I'm saying. Plus if anything like my nexus 7 lollipop will improve battery and counteract this. But samsung may screw it up, pray that they don't cos kitkat got it right and made touchwiz an artistic and useful interface. White is used because its more pleasing to the eye than that bluey grey thing they got going on
Just sad... but thanks for your answers..
If there would only be a fingerprint scanner support i would even be happy.. but sad if its not poosible/too hard

You could try Alliance ROM with AOSP theme
I flashed the B336 FW and I have to say, I like the speed and stability a lot. However, after some tinkering with EMUI 5, I have to say that in my opinion it's HIDEOUS and I can't wait till someone ports CM14.1 (I'll try to contribute passively of course).
Speaking solely about the EMUI Interface, not the ROM, version 5 is a disaster in terms of aesthetics (coming from a EMUI 4.1 lover). Let me elaborate:
What I like
Lock screen - swiping notifications deletes them instead opening them
Notifications shortcuts - you can fit as many as you want
App drawer - I'm not using it, but some might find it amazing
What I dislike
Everything is bright white - it either lacks contrast or contrasts too much with the icons. Why can't we change the color?
Icons - ugly, not flat nor material, do not fit with the design in general, their colors are very, very bright and each is different
The notifications - rounded edges and white notifications baloon on a black background
Music widget - the small circles around play and next/prev buttons
Holding the power button - only reset and power buttons, no data or flight mode buttons there as it was with EMUI 4.1
I know that a lot can be fixed with theming, but who with a clear sense releases this ugly UI like this? I know it's Chinese and they like different styles, but it doesn't follow any single design language, it's just a bunch of random design elements!
Go ahead and share your thoughts!
I havent used it yet because i have C185 firmware and there is no nougat for it yet but i have seen alot of videos and screenshots of EMUI 5 and here is my opinion
Notification panel Is way better than the one in 4.1.
EMUI 5 Privatespace is very cool feature to have.
Dialer, Messaging & contacts these apps look much better than they did in EMUI 4.1 in my opinion.
Default theme is a bit ugly but i thought we could apply blacklabel theme cant we?
EMUI 5.0 FOR P9 LITE PROS AND CONS
PROS:
1.Great battery life
2.Performance is very good
3.Very close to STOCK android
CONS:
NONE (at the moment)
Is better than EMUI 4.0 but i still using nova launcher.
PROS:
-Better performace
-Better batery manager
-Better notifications
-better lockscreen
Generally nougat features
CONS:
-ugly icons
-Still consuming too much RAM
I've solved my problems with nova but i hope cyanogenmod be stable soon.
Sorry for my bad english.
I will not be updating to the new emui right now... I'll be waitingvfor the new cm14...
Still prefer CM any day of the week.
+There is no file manger in
For me
Here there are

To be fair... You all flashed a leak. You don't know what they will change until official release.
Most likely they will still modify some stuff. Otherwise they would have released it already.
Here are the official wallpapers for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10e, S10, and S10+ in high resolution.
thanks man
Nice Walls!
Thanks

Samsung is so funny, lets hide the cutout with a darker spot in the top right corner of the wallpaper lol
Update: Official Wallpapers released for the Samsung Gallaxy S10e, S10, and S10+ during the launch event.
Here's how the wallpaper would look on the Galaxy S8/S9 running One Ui with the similar setup as the Galaxy S10.

Yep, it seems they are not so much proud of their 'invention'.
Actually it's two steps back in display evolution (in hands with Apple). Maybe three.
I'm gonna skip this year's phones too and stay with the last good Samsung mobile that is the S7 (no edge)...

I took all six wallpapers and put them in a folder and am using Wallpaper Changer to rotate among them. (Why the workaround? I have an S7 (Snapdragon) - which has no Samsung One.) For some rather odd reason, I can't ad a folder to the default settings for my wallpaper rotation; Wallpaper Changer lets you do so.
what about these wallpapers
I'm looking for the same wallpaper from lock screen. They seems to change with every unlock.
Maybe they will be into the system dump here

The lockscreen wallpapers are kinda like LWPs. They tilt when you move the phone. I don't remember if static versions exist.
