Thanks, Lame Hashtag Guy.

I'll continue to enjoy life without lags and crashes.

From a former Galaxy user who thinks hash tags are for the Bruce Jenner-types...

All points are good but i dont like the swipe to call thing. Not too user friendly. I often swipe unsuccessfully.

The Bruce Jenner types? Your a loser. Go on about your day cause there's nothing to see here people.

If you're a Nexus user then you'll never forget about crashes or more serious bugs which Samsung doesn't have :D You just have to be a beta-tester.

The latest Samsung devices will wipe your phone's ass in terms of speed.

Say what? Nexus devices sold to consumers are far more stable than anything Samsung has ever produced unless you're actually using them for development and testing. Crashes or more serious bugs which Samsung doesn't have? I believe you have absolutely zero understanding of how Android works and what Samsung does to package it into the Galaxy S devices it's selling you. If there's a serious bug in Android, your device also has it, and chances are that Google's Nexus devices will get fixed before yours does.

TW is a turd, and I agree with the OP. It will still be a turd no matter how much you polish it unless Samsung really makes a forward step with their next release. I'll admit there are some "features" that are useful and I question why they're not included in stock Android (like the reset, or close all programs, organize apps) but I don't miss them and most of the list above is easily remedied by donwnloading additional apps. In the meantime, Samsung shoves a number of uninstallable, useless programs into your devices along with the crappy touchwiz. You can switch to another launcher including Google's own one, but in the meantime good luck deleting the trash you don't want to use.

Your welcome. At least it isn't as bad as unnecessarily capitalizing words for no reason.

When did you have this Sammy? If 2012 or behind, i agree, old processors couldn't keep up with Touchwiz.

Dam you haters make me sick. I'll be alright though. I have a Galaxy Note 4.

Surely you meant to say Galaxys S6 right?

51. alex3run (Posts: 715; Member since: 18 May 2014)

And it is still worse than Note 4...

58. zacsaturday (Posts: 262; Member since: 09 May 2014)

Agreed

49. Diezparda (Posts: 940; Member since: 23 Oct 2013)

Is there any chance Note 4 to get new touchwiz? the same touchwiz as galaxy s6. it'll be great, look more polished, more mature, simpler... In the end Galaxy S6 was quite impressive, but there is always love for the bigger screen plus the s pen.

I've got pretty much all large US flagships. Note 4 trumps 6+ and 1520 for features and functions easily. The iPhone is nice if you want a simple large screen phone but that is about it.

29. Firenze91 (Posts: 199; Member since: 19 Nov 2014)

Me too and it baffles me when i hear "geeks" say stock android is better, i mean WTF is wrong with those ppl....

32. paeschli (Posts: 30; Member since: 27 Aug 2013)

Not a TouchWiz fan myself, but I have to agree that having more a bunch of useful and not-so-useful features is better than having no features at all like in stock Android.

38. shahrooz (Posts: 792; Member since: 17 Sep 2013)

stock android is boring, however nothing beats stock android + Xposed for me.

40. mostafawael.1998 (Posts: 241; Member since: 01 Oct 2014)

yeah me too, specially after they revamped the UI in the Galaxy S6 :)

59. zacsaturday (Posts: 262; Member since: 09 May 2014)

Dislike some things though, i have to admit

Not everyone knows how to flash custom roms, matter of fact, the majority of Android users don't know what is custom roms.

60. zacsaturday (Posts: 262; Member since: 09 May 2014)

Actually, around 10% know about rooting while like 1% knows of Jailbreaking (Basically rooting for everything else) on iGadgets.

Basically, Android users are generally smarter.
