So the Galaxy S Pro is looking fairly temping after getting the specs. Is the GPU really that more powerful than the EVO/Incredible/Nexus? What about the CPU? Also, what exactly is that custom UI running, and can it be disabled? Do you think it will be easy to get AOSP on the S Pro?

Touchwiz cannot be removed unless you root the phone.
I'm loving the custom UI on my galaxy. to me it is much better than all other UI's, especially with the added settings (ie: being able to change brightness of screen just by swiping left and right the notification area on top of phone)
phone is very very fast, especially on the internet, the GPU makes it even faster to load graphics.

Oh wow. I just watched that. I thought it was a video of the UI so I ignored it.
That's incredible! So how is the dev community for the Galaxy? Does it have nearly as large of a following as the HTC devices?
Been watching this video on youtube about performance and task killer. Just thought I'd share it.

Also just fyi, I think the stock launcher on my 70 blows. I installed launcher pro both before doing the froyo update and after updating and in both cases the device became much much smoother to operate. I don't know what it is but that stock launcher is just laggy as hell, bumping and jumping all around and jittery. Once I installed launcher pro it transitions smooth, the app drawer is way smoother, everything seems more responsive. I also highly suggest using a static wallpaper, LWP just bogs it down. BTW after updating to froyo launcher pro no longer appeared on the market, I had to go the launcher pro's website and download the apk
You did the market clear?
Because i have the launcherPro in my market
Yeah I've been using LP on my Hero for many months now and it's like a transformed phone with great widgets almost matching the HTC Sense widgets in style but much much faster that the HTC Hero launcher.

Sorry for this side note... but I can't take it anymore...!
Most videos of phones and tablets are giving me headaches and getting me dizzy: in and out of focus, bumpy camera work, etc.
Are these geniuses unable to figure out a way to put the camera on a tripod and the phone/tablet on a stand...????
Sorry again... don't mean to be mean...
By the way, my launcher is ADW.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. Still, I think it's better then nothing
That video was 2:35am on November 13?
That was an early rom and certainly not 2.2.
I've installed Adw, its the best i think!
Very many custom designs downloadable
I'm really disappointed with 5.0 lollipop update for my LG, just looks the same as kitkat, hardly any material design.
I like what Samsung as done with their lollipop update tho, would nice to see LG do the same

Yeah LG didn't adopt all the great design features of Lollipop making it a lackluster update appearance-wise. Hopefully the system is smoother with better animations and transitions. I prefer stock android look so will be making it look as close to this as possible once a stock rooted ROM pops up on the forums.

We are having a friendly discussion here please don't try to start a war. LG G3 lollipop doesn't have expandable notifications, white app drawer, redesigned quick settings just to name a few.
Yeah I Couldn't completely agree with you as i have both LG G3 and LG G2, but the UI sucks of both kitkat and lolipop,the system is fairly smooth but the greyish color in system apps suck,so i had to theme them to look like 5.0 apps,and the G2 has got the G3 kitkat version,and i cant point out much difference in terms of UI Of both lolipop and kitkat in G3.

Hm, why do you think LG must implement all of stock android features? To them be undistinguishable from dozens of cheap Chinese smartphones that put stock Android because they lack money to develop own skin and launcher?
Have you heard about a new version of LG UX 4.0 to be released before LG G4 presentation?
I don't think they "have" to this is an opinion based thread. My opinion is that stock android or close to it is the way to go. The OP stated how the update did not fully realize the wealth of material design which in essence is true. Besides the transitions and such visually it looks the same. I have no idea how cheap Chinese smartphones made their way into this conversation. I guess you are calling my tastes cheap, dunno if you even understand what exactly it is you're trying to illustrate.
Hi,
Same as Kingfish907, I am also dissapointed how the LG customized, or rather "customized" it's android L version (mean UI). Simply saying, for me, LG's UI is ugly and seems almost like on my old galaxy ace.
I am disapointed also because just before I used miui v6 on my cheap china phone and you know what? Sometimes I really regret the change... Smoothnes, behaviour, configuration possibilities and look of this chinese system are even non comparable to LG's... But it's only an example. Also cm11 looks IMVVVHO better (and seems to be more flexible) than this LG .
So, it's probably depends on user experience and demands....

I've got the LG with the latest V5 software and also got a Nexus 10 with standard 5.1 on it. There isn't a lot of difference as far as usability is concerned. Both work well and both have very good battery life (the Nexus 10 is better, but then it won't make phone calls).

Why do you want white background ??? Darker colours make battery last longer ... And to be honest I think overall look of lg is more unified ... I like it a lot ... But do hope to some changes that will make it more complete ...

I came from Samsung and I hate thier touchwiz UI. If you ask me the LG UI is much better. Neither are as good as stock android though.

I recently used se edge in a shop, and just opening and closing the apps was just so smooth, it worked like the same slide up animation but better, instead of like the whole slide up and down animation of lg, the apps kind of like minimised into thr icon if you know what i mean. Also they had the same dialer as stock lollipop and i hope lg brings those floatong icons in there system apps as those look really nice with nice looking animations.
I don't mind the look of LG's UI. It's just the damn lag. I parted with my Nexus 4 only because it was beginning to show its age and start lagging. I got a nasty shock when I discovered that the G3 was just as laggy if not laggier. I mean, I always heard Lollipop would be the savior and would finally get rid of Android's legendary lags. But it seems to have made no improvements on that front. I'm just sick and tired of waiting for that "next" version that would fix everything.
I just love people and the lag .... My g3 3gb version on android v20H has no lag at all ... I don't really understand what are you all talking about ... We are talking here in milli seconds not in minutes ...

Mine lags at least 1-2 seconds 50% of the time in responding to loading text messaging, switching between Apps, etc. and its doing my head in. I had a Xperia Z2 which had similar specs but never lagged and I didng have root on that either. I have only had the G3 for about 5 days and already updated to Lollipop but that is not helping either. Any suggestions people?

Pls take your sarcasm elsewhere.
Where I live, the 3GB edition isn't available. Also, I am not talking about animation lags (which is of course present as well). I am talking about not being able to multitask properly or browse multiple sites due to the system killing background apps/tabs too aggressively.

It is just funny ... There is so much you can do with software .... And hardware then has a limitation ...in your case 1gb less ... I also have friends with 2gb model and they don't have any lag at all ...

About Chinese I mean that they use stock android, because of lack of developers in those firms. LG can develop it's own custom UI, with it's QSlide and such. If you prefer stock much more than we all here on xda,and have an option to flash any ROM we like, don't we? Choose one there http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development flash it and BOOM you don't see LG's lags

The fact that you linked the whole development section shows ignorance on your part. I don't need confirmation from you to run what I want on my phone I didn't ask for help with that. So far you haven't contributed anything to the discussion, all you've done is argue with other people tastes. Are you sure you should be here?

Can Someone make Pixel Experience ROM for our device tissot?

Whats the difference between Stock Rom and Pixel expirience? Isnt Android one the Most Pixel ex. you can get?

Well, I can call this device stock ROM as "Nexus/AOSP Experience". Since Pixel's android looks and feels slightly different (if not different) than nexus and android "one"s.
I might be biased because i'm a fan of Pixel phones (and ex user of Nexus phones). But for now i might better wait and alternatively use Pixel Experinece Magisk module. I would be glad if this ROM will come to our device.
Just saying. No pressure.

There are differences. Android One feels more like.. AOSP, like a pure Android.. would love to see Pixel features like those pop out menu for on/off, the animated nav bars, etc etc.. plus with regular updates from custom ROMs better than having to wait 'kinda delayed' updated from xiaomi. And longer & better support (hopefully longer even after P) I suppose..
The closest you can get at the moment is by flashing my module via Magisk.

Anything's possible, especially with an unlocked bootloader. But I doubt anyone will bother.
RR and lineage are pretty much as good as pixel but much more feature rich. RR comes with pixel launcher if ur looking for launcher too.
But honestly, there is little benefit even in RR and lineage IMHO...
Camera and battery life will be worse.
Touch buttons laggy.
Some features will be lost.
And these dont really have any features a good Samsung custom ROM won't have.
Practically speaking => buy urself a pixel or enjoy Samsung's awesome UI
It would help if we could hear ur opinion as to why you wish to run pixel on ur S7. That could help in giving you advice/ suggestions too e.g. Do you like the look better? Do you believe that it will be more customisable? Do you Believe that performance will be better?
