Hi All,
I had an S8+ prior to my rooted Pixel 2. On my last 2 phones, I was able to get IOS emojis to replace the stock ones (at a system level so it worked with instagram).
If I recall, the S8+ either used a subtratum skin or a font APK. I was wondering if this was possible with the S10 + Pie. All my Googling so far has come up empty with APKs that won't work on the S10 (both substratum and samsung font methods). This is literally the only thing that is preventing this phone from being perfect for me lol.
Thanks!
Cory
Same boat. I wanted to install the Google Sans font. Have yet to find a way that works on the S10 :/ Hoping one is found soon once phone gets into even more hands! And I too hate the Samsung emoji but I will admit they are MUCH better than they used to be lol

Hello everyone,
For like 2 year now I still have iPhone 3G which was very relaxing (but now slow) so when I thought of update I thought about getting Android
So I got the Galaxy S2, It's a great phone with great hardware but I really guys dont know what exactly to tell you or what to say
but I find iPhone way more relaxing than Android and I really can't tell why
maybe the colors maybe the design of the android it self I really dont know
even though a lot of apps are available and everything is customizable but still
something is wrong for me and I dont know what it is, the motion and effects of the iphone are smoother or just better and gives you this great feeling and its not what it is on android
Also the keyboard, even though my screen is 4.3 inches and the keyboard is larger but I find that iPhone's keyboard is better it just feels good
My hope is very high with ICS 4 that Google would take care of UI and UX better than that, also organizing everything to make it easier or something
I know I'm not accurate but I just wanted to tell you guys to tell me what you really think and if its me only or everyone and also if you have a solution for this
Thanks

Iphone uses a very high resolution IPS LCD screen ("retina" is just a fancy marketing word for that), not AMOLED based like the Samsung phones (thus color reproduction will not be the same). If you don't like the default colors, try another theme (system themes require root to change, launcher themes do not).

Try a different launcher. Something like Go Launcher is pretty close the iphone. If that's not enough, try the MIUI ROM (requires root) for your phone if you haven't. MIUI is as close as you will get period to having an iphone while still having an android phone.

Try another keyboard than the one the phone comes with (such a swype or swiftkey)? Generally the stock keyboard sucks.
Most iphone users that just start on android are not aware of the many replacement options (or if they are, they're not aware of specific ones that would solve their issues).
There's a saying that goes something like "If one is given infinite choices, some people will never be happy (since that they will forever think there is something better than what they currently have), but if one is told what choices they have, then they just grin and bear it, because that's all there is."
First thanks for your reply
but I already have Go Launcher and its okay for now
but actually I would like to install MIUI but I have a problem, I dont have a SD Card on my Galaxy S2 its just the internal memory so is there's anyway to install it without SD Card just using the internal memory ?
in both ways I will wait for android 4 I read about it and its really interesting that Google noticed that they have issues with their UI and I hope they solved this issue
Hello there!
Please, can anyone tell me if it is possible to change to look of my S5 device, to look like an S4 on KitKat?
My first Andorid phone was the Galaxy S3 because I was in love with TouchWiz. I dislike the way stock Android looks.
I was not a Samsung fan, previously I had a Samsung Omnia because I liked the design and being a Microsoft fan, I bought it, but never liked TouchWiz there... I imediately disabled it and left the default Windows Mobile look. When Microsoft went to Windows Phone 7 and so, I've cosidered going to Andorid. I don't like Apple because all icons follows the same square rounded pattern. I like the icons to be different like on Microsoft Windows, so not all icons to be in a circle or square, or other geometric form.
When I bought the S5 I was a little dissapointed because the TouchWiz was changing into bad lookings but with Lollipop... awwwww!
I dislike the new Contacts App with those small circles for pictures... Sincerelly I love my wife S4 i9506. I've decided not to upgrade her to Lollipop, to make her phone uglly like mine.
So, is there a possiblility to run a version of Lollipop or KitKat on S5 while having a look of an S4? Even if the menu and home keys will behave like they normaly do on S5.
Thank you!
Mods and cyanogen while using themes. There is not other way
Bad taste
A taste is a taste. Well, if it happens that you like Sotck Android, then, you may have a "bad taste" Come on! Every people I talked with, having a Galaxy S5, don't like the way Lollipop looks at all.

Are you more familiar or wanted to have Apple products? I dislike Lollopop becuase black used to look better on amoled displays. Other things that I'm not likeing on Lollipop are those bright colors, the white baground when opening calls, having no button delimiters on phonedialer and the most anyoing one for me... the Contacts app which have those small circled pictures. Oh... let's say being clircles, let's say ok, even if I still don't like the ideea, but they are too small on Samsung firmware. They are a little bigger on let's say LG G3s.
Anyway, no matter what you say... S4 on KitKat looks A LOT BETTER than the Lollipop UGLYNESS!
I'm on Lollipop from January but I cannot accept its stupid GUI. Well, I'm a graphic designer, I know that these days we've embraced this flat, simple ugly things that Microsoft started with Windows 8 and Google and others followed their stupidity with "Material Design"
So I got this Galaxy S7 clone a month ago, and I thought whoever made this counterfeit probably forgot to replicate some of the stuff in it like the browser and keyboard, being those two were lifted off an earlier Android version. I was wondering if there are apps taken off similar clones that resemble the real deal, or if there are other applications which can be themed to look like their Touchwiz equivalents.

Why there is still no Lineage or a different Rom out yet? I dont mean the fRoms with stock, i mean stock Android.
Please i want stock Android on the Phone, i hope in future there will be roms.
I'm on your side, but I thing it's not gonna happen. Nobody wants to make a new rom for 5 users. The P10 community is way too small and Huawei made it not really easy.
One thing, I would miss with AOSP is the usage of the finger print sensor. I don't know if it's possible on stock.
I mean for the P9 there is lineage 14, it would be enough to me, there is no need for the newest android 8 lineage 15 rom, it would take also long until we would get lineage 15 for the p10, but stock android 7 is all i want to have.
And why do you want that?
Huawei kirin is not the best one for Lineage but for emui it is.
You will lost some great features if you install lineage.
If that's your favorite Android you should think about change your phone to Pixel or similar phones.

Yeah I can understand your point of view, and maybe it's not the best for stock android, but my P10 was a gift and in the moment I ain't able to buy a pixel sadly. Is it really that hard to build lineage 14.1 for the P10? I don't come along with emui it's just don't my thing, it's for me just like iOS for android and I don't like it, I love stock android and it would be amazing if there would be coming out a aosp or lineage rom.
I also had difficulties getting used to EMUI, but with the right theme (you can even install a pixel theme!) and Nova launcher, the look and feel are quite ok, I think.
Yeah thats true, there are a lot of themes out, but sadly not one has it all right. One theme have different colors in the download-section some gray and black statusbar icons and other one have false status bar icons on it self then it would be in stock, so i tried to get a complete theme by using the theme editor from the play store but it isnt working at all sadly, so i have to make compromises and thats not feeling nice if u want to have a stock oreo/nougat experience. So i really hope that there will be roms in future, if its needed i would have with all i can, test alpha builds etc, somehow the development must going to start at least now.
I wasn't a fan of EMUI at first but have to say I have gotten used to it and really do like it. Not a fan of most OEM overlays but this is one of the better.
Have you tried Lawnchair? On my G4 I used that from the get go and it was still in development and new versions released all the time but was only getting better for fully stock N/O feel. I haven't been following it since this but may be worth a look?
Haven't looked into yet either to see what it's like as still at work, but just had this YouTube recommendation come through on my phone too.
You dont even need such a launcher like nova or lawnchair, u can download the official Pixel 2 Launcher from here, from xda, just the official apk.
And i think when i use the Pixel 2 Launcher, i need to have the complete Android Pixel Stock expierience, its not mention to have any of the Pixel Launcher with that EMUI around it, its my opinion and i am maybe to much pernickety in such things, but thats how i am, and because of that i really wanna have a Android Stock Rom on this device.
Hey there.
Is there any chance to get my good old Samsung Galaxy S8 Theme on a Google pixel phone with Android12?
Really, i HATE this new material onegui stuff.
My phone looks like a phone for kids and i don´t really like it anymore since Android 12.
I bought a very nice theme from the galaxy store. It´s still applied on my good old S8 which has a broken display.
Is there a Third party launcher which can apply Samsung Store themes?
When this is not possible:
Can the newest Samsung Phones like the S22 apply old themes from S8?
And do you know any good launcher which looks like the Samsung galaxy launcher?
I search for a Launcher which looks like samsung but which is secure. I´m ready to pay for the launcher, when it is good.
I like to work with folders and multiple screens.
Thank you in advance.
Please help me to like my phone again
Greetings

So harsh. You bought a Pixel phone to apply a Samsung theme on it? Maybe you should adapt your expectation pattern. There are so many ways to customise your device though...
