Hi guys. So many years I'm with Samsung. I started use Galaxy from the first model. And it sad to start thinking about to leave this ecosystem. But as IT engineer, I saw this already in multiple companies. To cut the costs, or just because they are dumb, leadership is hiring incompetent people to do the job. 

I have a rhetorical question. I don't want answers, I know them. I just want to write it here. Who are those teens or drunk clowns you hired to design new UI? Where did they learn ergonomics and design? In TikTok videos? I had pretty UI with transparent and neutral colors, especially clock/weather widget. Now I have eye-searing colors, icons screaming: "we are not iPhone, no!", and user-unfriendly design. Who draw this? 11 years old son of CEO, promoted to lead designer? Have you seen your battery icon, for example? What is it? Drug pill? Because it is anything but not battery icon! 
Same with my Galaxy Book 360. You did manage to break Samsung Update, without even replace it properly. Instead of doing useful and convenient ecosystem, your applications become just annoying bloatware. For many years, I now forced to switch from once good OneUI launcher to 3rd party. Thank you, Samsung, for this update! I'm really thinking about switching to Xiaomi. Especially, because their phones become better.

I know how to use alarms and probably know more about smartphones and technology then you do in the first place. Its not down to me not knowing anything its due to poor design and planning on samsungs part with one ui 7. You are not bothered with it because you clearly dont use your phone for probably anything other then phone calls as you have not noticed the most obvious changes that one ui 7 has brought. So instead of asking me why i have a smartphone why dont you ask yourself that very question instead.

That would require me to have previously made custom icons. Which i have not because i didnt need to because i liked the stock icons, Just because i have said ability does not mean i have to use it. I dont want my icons to be all one colour or in a star shape or be inside of an apple. The stock icons was perfectly fine and didnt need for me to edit them as I liked the stock ones and so did many other people. I have goodlock installed and have used several of its features before if i need to change something that i do not like, which was not the icons and now that i do not like the icons there is no way for me to change them back and all of the custom icons in the theme store are horrible and i dont like any of them. And there is not the ability to switch back to the original default samsung one ui 6.1 Icons which everyone is complaining about.

Like i said before try reading and spending some time to let your brain think and understand what we are saying before you just go "haha but you can change it in themepark stop complaining!" When we can not change it to what we want and is the entire reason we are complaining about it.

That's great you have good technical skills with smartphones beyond me! 😊. It should definitely work in your favour at resolving all these "basic" problems you're facing.

My suggestion would be to drop Samsung as it's such a huge egregious offense having default icons not to your liking and buy another brand. It's that or hope Samsung consult you first before they decide on any future updates. 😊

As i have said I can not fix bad ui design mate, thats on samsung. These are issues Samsung have created and have not thought out properly, this is nothing to do with me or my use case for the phone. It is simply just the poor planning from samsung's part. Also if you even bothered to read my messages properly you would know that its more then just alarms, and if you actually used your phone for more then picking up phone calls you too would find these issues.

Also your not funny you do realise that right?

Nice sarcasm. And almost everyone hates the new icons they are too colourful and in your face and ugly looking and none of them are actually match eachother. The icons just make it look like some cheap knockoff phone from temu.

As iv said before I did not make custom icons before the ui change. Theres not the option, just because you have old themes with the older style does not mean everyone else has. So continue not understanding our issue

You only mentioned alarm clocks here to me, I've responded to this. Unfortunately, like Samsung, I cannot read your mind to know your exact needs in UI when using your phone.

You do not need to read my mind when you have things called eyes and you can read my messages and then you can see what iv said, because i have said a lot more then just alarms it isnt my fault you can not read messages properly.
