Yes… Its a cheesy title, and I really can’t tell you if it’s true or not. Though I can tell you, I’m hooked on Android and the Samsung Galaxy S hardware. And I found maybe one or two things I enjoy from TouchWiz, but since I don’t have much in terms of fresh Android environments to work with, I wouldn’t know better.
Ok now that my rant is over, here are the couple apps so far that I’m watching or using to bring me back to an Android-esque interface.
- LauncherPro – brings back my App Drawer and brings the UI closer to the Android Stock feel/look.
- FlyScreen – Still feels buggy so I actually just removed it, but I plan to keep an eye on it. It’s a widget-able lockscreen. Hooray for Calendar Widget!
I know if you actually read the whole thing, you see that my biggest complaint is really I don’t like Apples rigid UI design being mimicked(Samsung), or their strict marketplace management(AT&T), and I miss seeing my Calendar from WM6(ok I didn’t say it before… but it’s true), otherwise I’m perfectly content with my assortment of random apps and comfortable phone. Oh and yes, I’m getting comfortable using the onscreen keyboard over a physical one. I still feel like I’m running slower and more carefully with it. Like running on smooth and wet concrete with old slicked shoes. You know you’re just asking to eat it badly.
Edited… Rant not needed.
