Tips for smoother ui7

[GeoffAnderson]

So , i think everyone knows i hate the new update, so I won't go on about it. I have however learned that on my S24 ultra if you used themes from galaxy most will not work properly on the ui7 update, causing glitches. Delete old themes and use new from the store and I guarantee things will run smoother. Check in my themes for icons wallpapers that are no longer supported in ui7. Hopefully this helps a little guys .

The relative minority always speak the loudest in terms of voicing reviews- People who are happy are less likely to post compared to those unhappy. So, it's not fair to say everyone hates it- but you are correct in saying there are a lot of complaints

It's absolutely a good thing to voice unhappiness about an update.

But very good advice on how to troubleshoot issues with themes.

Hi there 👋

Some themes from different phones or software won't properly work on updated phone.

There's good lock app from Samsung store to make it "more friendly to your likings" and adjust some of animations etc.

You would need new themes to get it working properly or developers of that specific theme/themes needs to be addressed.

I only said I hated it , not everyone. But reading through the community i am definitely not alone

[GeoffAnderson]

I understand that , just saying a lot of older themes prior to the update aren't supported any longer. Most of my themes were more than 5 years old .they caused issue so I had to delete and pick something new

I don't actually think I'm in the minority regarding the update, it really is rubbish.

See, what I don't get. A search bar has been moved, and icons have been adjusted. Beyond that, everything I can think of can be put back to the previous state.

You are so right lol. My bad 😂. You did infact say yourself..... oopsies

@johnz237 it's all good, I do really love Samsung, probably wouldn't change 😊

Before every major software update, I make a practice of undoing all personalization and returning my phone to default settings (themes, font, keyboard, etc.). I did this with both the S24 ultra and the S21 ultra. But since the S21 ultra is no longer my daily phone, I put an old Samsung theme from 2020 back on it. They didn't even say that it wasn't compatible and I still have it in My Staff. But when I applied the theme, the phone started to twitch, it took 2 minutes for the theme to load, the wallpaper was larger than before, selecting any item didn't go smoothly, I could barely get back to My Staff and click Apply default theme. After returning to the default theme, the system was fluid again.
