Samsung to Remove TouchWiz Features From Galaxy S6

Samsung to Remove TouchWiz Features From Galaxy S6


So, anyone who has gotten to know and love Samsung since the late Galaxy S2 days know what the common look of TouchWiz is, and how it functions, and packs many of Samsung motion features, and ect.
Samsung is reportedly taking away the many features Touchwiz offers, keeping the launcher in tact, but rather offering users the features they want via the Play store, or another way instead.
This can be great for people who tend to whine about bloatware of how slow TouchWiz can get, but will it affect the Galaxy S5, Note 4, and up with an update? I do not know.
TouchWiz is a beautiful interface to use, but it's gotten away from the whole "look, and feel" and moved on to how much can we pack into one interface? This has rendered TouchWiz some what annoying.

My Thoughts?:

I think this is past due. It has been for about 2 years now, disconnecting features, and throwing them in a separate place for download will be a great thing. I'm glad to hear they are sticking to Android a bit longer, as I do not think Samsung's "Tizen" will kick off as great as they wanted. I like the look of TouchWiz, but I'm more of a Pure Android Experience type of guy. I can't wait to see what the Galaxy S6 will look like, I've seen concepts and "prototypes" and they all look sweet, but lets just see whats going to actually become of it.
All in all, Good move Samsung.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Google Play Edition (USA Versions)

By
Samsung Galaxy S3 Google Play Edition (USA Versions) I'm excited to bring you this news today, Galaxy S3 users can now download the Google Play Edition of Android (As close as you will get to it) only on USA Versions as of right now. It all started when I got inspired by the sunbeam live wallpaper (How loco?). I decided to disect a Cyanogenmod Rom, first I started with AOKP, but was not satisfied by all the more options. Options are never a bad thing, but when you start with a 4.4.2 Nightly build of AOKP, You don't know where the heck the lockscreen settings are, or in fact I don't think it added any options for the lockscreen ring. They are still working on it, the rom is pretty crystal clear, and pure right now as it is. I decided to revise. I turned to the CM10.2 version, and started to play with it, luckily I soon got all the Google Apps installed correctly with no problem, and now I'm working on a revised build of the 4.4.2 Google Play Edition. I know just...

HTC Sense 7 LEAKED SCREENSHOTS!!!

By
HTC Sense 7 LEAKED SCREENSHOTS!!! Android "L" or Lollipop, also known as 5.0 is coming soon, well that means an all new Sense is on its way too of course! If you look at the above images you can definitely see how influenced Sense 7 is by Android L. Android 5, L is basically all themed on flat, but vibrant colors. This teal is one color option, but it's very nicely displayed by HTC Sense 7. I'm for sure the HTC One M8, as well as a lot of other HTC devices will be getting this Sense 7 update in the nearing future. There is also talk on a All new HTC Desire coming soon, will it be shipped stock with Sense 7, Android 5, L? I guess its a waiting game for HTC Fanboys. HTC has been on their game here lately with the slickness, and beauty of devices. I got a chance to play around with the HTC One M8 a little bit, and have to say I liked it very much, then the iPhone 6 came out, and I wondered if they were trying to copy some of the style? Get your own style...

LG G2 AT&T (D800) Cyanogenmod Semi-Nightlies

By
LG G2 AT&T (D800) Cyanogenmod Semi-Nightlies I am currently releasing the D801 (T-Mobile LG G2) Builds for the D800. Basically, I am taking the D801 CM12 Nightlies ever so often, and modifying the kernel for AT&T G2 Devices. I will be releasing these every 5-10 days, until the official CM12 Nightlies start coming in for the D800, which shouldn't be too far along.  Everything seems to work so far, last week I had a build that didn't have the Display & Lights option working, but on the Feb. 21st build, it is successfully working flawlessly. Comments below, or on the XDA Thread will be helpful, also reporting to CM the issues because chances are, if you're having a bug, the T-Mobile users are too. This is version 5.0.2, and will be updated from time to time! Working: Everything I see so far. Not Working: Nothing, The Display and Lights option crash was fixed.
