Latest UI Update.

[Phock]

Can someone tell Samsung to quit making my phone look like a crapple. I want my software to update, but quit messing with how my phone looks. All my icons and display items have changed and I cannot get them back. Little things like the notification bar no longer gives me the percent sign and a battery number. It is in a filled bubble with a number that is hard to read. 

PUT IT BACK AND QUIT MESSING WITH MY PHONE!

My intent was not to "suck it up" but more so- this is the reality of the direction of devices- youve not given specifics on what you dont like about the new UI7.

To be clear- the app draw, the changes such as the search bar was done by google, and cant be changed.

Download goodlock to fully customise phone. Use Galaxy themes for icons- theres some which look like ui6

These are a few posts ive made;

There is nothing in one ui7 that makes a Samsung look like ios

*Someone else said it; more followed, started a fad. Can't wait for it to go away finally and then when ui8 releases....

With all ways or options to customization I really don't understand many moans.

Good Lock,  third-party launchers, third-party icon packs, why do you all act like you have an iPhone, when you have an Android that can be customized to suit everyone's taste

It is more than the icon appearances. The status bar has changed and now things that were never in the bar are now displayed, for example Spotify while playing is now in my status bar. The icons in the upper right corner are now smaller and harder to read. I changed the font sizes and nothing adjusted. While that Good Lock may be ok for some I shouldn't have to resort to 3rd parties apps to make my samsung look like samsung.

I get updates to fix glitches to to make user experience better, but changing just for the sake of change is never the right move. So I am confused as to why making things worse as an experience seemed like a good plan.
