Why do they insist on making the settings tabbed but not make them swipeable? Samsung please...
Other than that it's an improvement, but not enough.

I feel like Samsung are legitimately trying to emulate Material design, but they're just too fucking lazy to learn the fundamentals of it. As I've said, it's like they think it involves nothing more than adding solid blocks of bright colors.
The layering and the animations that are the meat and potatoes of the Material design philosophy - there's none of it in Samsung's version.
Well not good, but not horrible either, will use Gel launcher and that is it. As long as they keep the notifications like current lollipop i am fine, it is a step in the right direction but not enough.
Note 4 here. But in the end it is like current TW with a few apps kinda materialized, as well as settings menu.
Oh, and please change that horrible phone icon

don't do it man, it's time to say no to touchwiz. Put the nail in that coffin. Fight the powa.

Gnex was the only Samsung phone I've ever owned, and Sammy is doing everything they can to make sure it'll stay that way going forward.
Good god
This is why we still have Touchwiz. You can't simultaneously say a product is shit, buy said product, and expect Samsung to think that people hate their product.
I've never used touchwiz before. This will be the first mistake I experience with Samsung
Well I don't think the product is shit, just some parts of the UI are shit.
Everyone's entitled to their own op...
Oh, well there you have it. You'll come around soon enough.
Samsung never releases their full version of their version of Android+ Touchwiz before they release their latest flagship phone (which in this case would be the Galaxy S6).

I'm not sure why you all are wasting your breath on touchwiz. It looks butt ugly, everyone and their mother knows this.
Lololol touchwiz

TouchWiz looks better than stock though.

It definitely does not look better than Lollipop. You could say that for Ice cream Sandwich,Jelly Bean, and maybe KitKat. Lollipop blows it out of the water though.

At least they don't have that fuck ugly messaging app UI anymore:
The only way that look good to anyone is if they've never used a phone in their life.

Be together. Not the same.
The stock Samsung messenger never worked for me. Would crash instantly lol I just used hangouts :

Nah, dude. Lollipop is pretty ugly. ICS, JB, and KK all look better than any OEM skin and the look of stock Lolli.

I don't believe anyone in the entire world actually thinks this. I just can't.
Yeah, that thing is so damn hideous I don't even know what to say about it. Except perhaps WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!
Ok, you're clearly crazy. ICS looking better than Lollipop? That's just... no. (ICS does still look better than TouchWiz ever has, though.)

Frankly I dont give two shits about how they look in relation to one another. Only thing I know is, I fucking hate this blinding white theme of Lollipop. But thats of little consequence. The only thing that matters right now is the loss of important granular controls due to the uncertainties of Xposed going forwards. Lollipop also breaks a lot of stuff that matters to me. Various shit like secure settings and custom tasker scripts I have come to depend on. Until that changes, fuck Lollipop tbh.

I ended up with the same conclusion when looking for an upgrade from my Note 2. I'll probably upgrade to a M9 or Z4 to try something new.

Can't wait to see Verizon's tramp stamp.
Dat uber-minority opinion. Xposed is bad and you should feel bad.

Ah, dat-uber corporate cocksucking zeal. Dont mind me boy, you carry on what youre doing. Theres no need to stop. You get your good head back down and let me worry about determining whats good or bad myself.
Why is Xposed bad?
Wait...what?
Wait, what?

you need root for Xposed. stock shouldn't be rooted, its perfect!
Well it is super dangerous. Those apps can basically do whatever they want.
Barring the fact it is inherently dangerous, I was just looking for a reaction
I do still believe Xposed is more trouble than it's worth IMO.
