I'm thinking of getting the LG G6. One thing I wonder is, does LG have a good selection of themes like Samsung does for the GS7? I have some really nice themes i like for my GS7. but since it's not universal like Nova and other 3rd party launchers I hate that i would have to give them up to switch brands. Anyone else in this dilemma? I want some themes that cost money, but i don't want to spend money on the ones that cost for this very reason. That being said is there any 3rd party launchers or themes that theme everything like the stock themers do?
On LG theme, the icons will change with all launcher.
anyone?

Ok so I would like to get a vibrant soon but there are a few things that bother me that I would like to get resolved.
#1 how are the custom ROMS? Can i use Galaxy S and Captivate ROMS or is it specific to the vibrant only?
#2 I really dont like the UI they put on there. I like the stock android OR sense UI. I know sense will probably never make it to the vibrant but how about the stock android? Are there any ROMS right now that offer that? I know how to theme but that would be a lot of changing.
#3 development... I feel like since the Galaxy S will be across the world and many carriers development would be fairly good right? How is it now? What do you think it will be like in the future?
Hey NC!

There are no ROMs right now. CM6 has two developers working on porting to the Galaxy though.
#2 I really dont like the UI they put on there. I like the stock android OR sense UI. I know sense will probably never make it to the vibrant but how about the stock android? Are there any ROMS right now that offer that? I know how to theme but that would be a lot of changing.
Use ADW or LauncherPro (amazing on this phone)
#3 development... I feel like since the Galaxy S will be across the world and many carriers development would be fairly good right? How is it now? What do you think it will be like in the future?
It will eventually be very good. With the volume sold and ability of this phone, it will eventually have great development. Right now, a lot of developers, especially on here are used to HTC and getting used to Samsung and the differences.
You have to remember, This phone Just came out and the other 2 still haven't.
Plus, this is not an HTC phone.
That being said, development is going strong.
Expect the Flood gates to open soon.
FYI: I use both ADW launcher and Launcher Pro (bothe give me the the stock android experience you seek.
i think the custom roms will start flowing.
about touchwiz, I thought that would be the first thing i removed, but i have actually liked some things about it, but like has already been mentioned, use ADW or whatever launcher you prefer.
I think development witll really start to take off in time.
Thanks for the quick replies. Great answers
I use:
Touch Calendar
ADW launcher
aContacts
stock News & Weather
Klaxon
cubed.
That pretty much gets me around the Yucky TouchFlow. I also rooted and installed Root Explorer to get rid of the bloatware easily.
I was really hesitant, and except for having to tap ever so accurately when correcting text because there's no dpad (I've put a request in to a dev that I like for a soft dpad), I'm very happy.
If you get too much lag because of the slow storage memory, there's a hack for that. I haven't use it yet.
Just took a chance and bought it. Loving the phone but just as I expected, touchwiz is quite annoying. Cant wait to see a 2.2 cyannogen rom
I want this on my evo, these look so cool. Is there anyway to port these over, I know you can go to Sprint.com/sprintid, but it says they are only compatible for those two phones right now, but since its android it should be possible right?
So basically themes?
More like scenes but yeah in that sort of family, but with apps personalized for that "Theme" not just the aesthetic look.
What's up with the app drawer on the 7.7? The apps don't automatically rearrange to be in order. It's kind of annoying.
Yeah, I hate it too. Same problem with the original Galaxy Tab I remember. Wish there was a way to get it to consolidate screens and order alphabetically.
Try an alternate launcher, like ADW and it will be fine. I've seen the same problem on a SGS 2.

I agree, its ridiculous to have to manually arrange every new app. What really doesnt make sense is that the $300 7.0 plus works perfect, but the $600 7.7 doesnt? I really hope a firmware update fixes this. Or maybe ICS will. I prefer stock launcher.

Lol one of the biggest value pack features is the new launcher...I've just read that it consumes 40Mbs of RAM. These guys are stupid.
You mean this?
"Finally the one of the biggest new features of the upgrade is the ‘S Go Launcher Pro’. With this feature users can change the main screen and the icons, for a personalized smartphone."
Not clear what this means - Is there a chance that it includes another laucher (Laucher Pro) ?
Could someone check?
I'm not sure if there are one or two launchers, but burakgon said that the launcher needs 40Mbs of RAM.

That's another question
Burakgon understood from this statement that Samsung says TW4 laucher is the best thing about the ROM.
I understand that Samsung is not referring to the TW4 laucher, but the ability to select an alternative: "S GO LAUCHER PRO"
I just searched on the Samsung Apps but I can't find it. I believe it is just a slight modification of TW4 and they just add it a 'cool name'...
Are our phones compatible with the new designed dialer or any other stock apps? I'm trying to get my look changed so I used HK themer with the new theme type coming out and it changed a few things but I'm curious to see if there is a way to theme our phones more since we can't get roms. I'm not talking about sms or phone apps from Google play, I mean deeper theming.
