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.

What is Android?

By
What is Android? Android is a Free Open Source Operating system, mostly seen on mobile devices these days such as smart phones, tablets, and is the base Operating system behind the Kindle fire, & Nook Color. It is safe to say Android is built upon Linux. When you hear of "Linux" you think of Ubuntu immediately if you're a novice, or "noob" with the Linux operating system. Well though Ubuntu is built upon Linux, and is commonly used on any machine using it, but it isn't what linux is. Linux is basically a terminal/operating system like you would say DOS is. Linux is basically a Unix clone, which is what Mac OS X is built upon. Linux is free, and if you ever payed for it, demand a refund, but don't get yourself in danger over it! (lol) So from this, we know Linux is just basically the background software, which runs all the commands it needs to, to give you a functioning GUI (Graphical User Interface) for easier ways to use ...

LikeWise S6? Will it be a Thing?

By
LikeWise S6? Will it be a Thing? Hopefully! I mean its very possible, for the Galaxy S3, and S4. I have not gotten ahold of a Galaxy S5 yet (Send me one I'll do it, thanks!) What this will consist of, again is bringing the look, the UI, and just the smoothness of the device to your older Galaxy device. Which is a new life for the older gen devices right? LikeWise S5 was such a huge hit for the Galaxy S3, I would love to participate in a new ROM, aside from my LG G2 work. Anyways I really want to do this! and I will! for any device I can, if you want to donate a device to me, for any development, I will definitely follow up on your wishes! Thanks everyone for reading this short :) AndroidGuruGuy

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.
