I wonder if people actually switch to the google now launcher when they get a samsung phone. All I see is people moaning about how horrible touchwiz is,i do want to know what is so bad about it now.

i have GL on my note 4, it is better than tw in some areas and worse in others. It doesn't disable TW (and is the same for other oem skins, such xperia or htc ones), only the launcher. Settings menu is still the same.

btw, according cnet android 5.1 may see the light early 2015. It is obvious that it is coming, but the sooner the best. Seems that silent mode will be back too. Crosses fingers.
 
I have a bug now where my M8 won't wake up right away when I hit the power button. It takes a second or two before the screen wakes up. Very annoying because I can't answer a call right away or turn my music/podcasts off right away. I disabled all the motion launch features but that didn't help.

Anybody had this problem and figured out out?

stop being negative!

I really don't know. Factory reset I guess.
 
I've been pretty happy with the battery life on my moto x (coming from a Galaxy Nexus, though...). It didn't charge the other night (I think that offbrand charger broke) and I made it through two days without any trouble. I wasn't heavily using, but I wasn't really careful about not using either. I'm sure other phones are better, but I'm definitely not seeing big drain on standby.

The Galaxy nexus lol. Now that was a battery abomination. Definitely a step up for you.

Proper lock screen media controls, pls. They can't think the current solution is as good as what was in KK, they just can't.
 
People are in Google hangouts for Android community? Quite a few OT communities have additionally created chats externally from GAF.

It's because you don't have to deal with GAF dictatorship capriciously banning anyone for having a controversial opinion. Of course, in the Android OT Hangout, I'm usually the only one with a controversial opinion, but still. It's a fantastic experience.

Being stubborn doesn't make your opinion controversial AJ.

Do you want to know why the experience has been extra fantastic the past couple of days?

Lol never gets old.
"Installed GNL and poof! TouchWiz is surely gone because I can't see it anymore on my home screen!"
 
Apart from the ten of fifteen minutes to set up the launcher. I'm in and out of the launcher in seconds. I brought it up cause I can't believe having a persistent search bar is enough to not use a launcher.


But shit like "trooooooll" is why this thread turned to shit.
 
How much time do yall spend in your homescreens? dang
Not much. But having gnow just a swipe away is nice and convenient. Much better than having blinkfeed of Flipboard.
Plus my daughters' wallpaper i love to stare at often :)

They just need to create a notification widget with back/play/forward controls. It took them a long time to put the back button on their Google music widget so i do not think they will fix it anytime soon though.

Drivebys claiming that Touchwiz is just a launcher is what ruins threads, bruh.

You better not have installed any HTC service updates from the play store. They f with the phone hardcore man.

The source to the android 5.1 rumor is a bullshit wish list from some site called androidpit. Please don't read into this crap
 
So, on my Samsung Galaxy S5, I decided to get rid of TouchWiz Home and replace it with Nova Launcher among various other tweaks. Here's my homescreen! What's yours look like? :)

I'm rocking dat MiUi. Incredibly pleasing and clean <3

Aw man I wish my phone were capable of running MiUi. Having a phone tied to a CDMA regional carrier serverely limits your ROM choices! :P From what I did try though, MiUi was very plesant to use. iOS-like... like what my homescreen looks like now.

Fake edit: But yeah, I'm very happy that I switched from iPhone to Android. It's a wonderful thing to never be tied to one particular UI.. even if the phone I'm using IS a Samsung phone. :P
 
Yeah, I couldn't take TouchWiz anymore. I mean there's nothing wrong with it... it's just bland. A shame I cannot also have my status bar themed as well. The less I see of TouchWiz the better at this point. :P

Also, minimal clock is dope. It's so good. The most asthetically pleasing widget I could find so far.
