I have been wondering about this for awhile now and can't seem to understand why so many people are crazy about stock android on their devices. I do understand why people buy nexus devices only due to timely updates n all. I guess not just for updates but I'm pretty sure that's one of the main reasons. My main question is why do so many people prefer it even on their devices that aren't running stock? I look at Sense' UI and to me personally, I like their setup of how fast and easy it is to add apps or widgets to a home screen. Or how good the camera is, far better then any nexus device IMO. And a couple other things. Or touchwiz. I still haven't owned a device that had touchwiz but I've played around with the Note 2 and GS3 and tbh, I'm not really crazy about their UI. But the features, holy smokes they are awesome! And then there is just plain ol stock. I have a Galaxy Nexus and when I first bought it I was super happy and excited. I'm running a 4.2.2 ROM on it and its OK n all. But to me, it just feels naked and kinda boring now. Sure, I can flash all sorts of added features and what not but still I'm just like shmeh. I feel the skins over stock makes it so much better IMO. With so many more options to choose from when it comes to features. I look at all the features the Note 2 has and people buy it, root it, then bam CM10 is now running on the device with less features then what the phone comes with. Anyways that's my rant for today. And by no means am I doggin on pure stock or hate it. Just sharing my opinions about what I think is better but don't understand why so many people choose it on their devices that have a skin on top. I would love to see some feedback on this. Thanks
[General Topics] Domoo:
I have an s3 and if you've used touchwiz for an extended period of time, you'd see how bad it is. Sure the camera features are awesome, but it's a really heavy firmware with a lot of bugs, lag, and bloatware. Your phone will easily average 1 gb of ram with touchwiz. As for why I switched to stock Android (cm 10.1), I guess it was one of the more popular and well known custom roms when I decided to flash. I wouldn't be opposed to trying an AOKP ROM because all the extra options, but I'm not sure if I need it. What I'm trying to say is less is never a bad thing. Well this is my opinion at least. Hope it helps.

[General Topics] Product F(RED):
Personally, I like AOSP, but it's not a deciding factor for me. I prefer an S3 and especially my Note 2 over any Nexus device. Why?

1. Touchwiz adds useful features.

2. S-Pen and huge screen are more than enough to win me over.

3. In the case of the Nexus 4, I like the huge REMOVABLE battery in the Note 2 and expandable storage (yes, they're a big deal to me).

4. I can flash AOSP if I want. Yes, on a lot of devices, there are usually more bugs running CM/AOKP/PA than if you just bought a Nexus device, but it's still an option.

5. Samsung releases quick updates. Quicker than any other OEM, besides Nexus devices. Hell, there's even a leaked 4.2.2 (or .1, I forget) update floating around.

6. Alternative launchers and mods for stock ROMs can remove ugly OEM themeing. Look up Jelly Bean Domination for the Galaxy S3 i9300. It looks EXACTLY like AOSP. Here's a screenshot of JBD running on my retired Galaxy S3. This is Touchwiz. Also look up JKay mod; it's a framework mod with an app that lets you change SO many features, it's like being on a Nexus device: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o7r0xpl0zdm03x8/2013-04-01 21.11.03.png

7. For me at least, I don't like on-screen buttons unless you have a Note 2-sized device, because it takes up screen real-estate. I'm aware of PIE-menu for CyanogenMod, but I find it impractical because it requires more button presses than just hitting a button.

8. Ridiculous battery life, even with heavy usage. After 3 hours of screen-on time and data usage pretty much every time the screen is on, I still have 65% battery life after 8 hours off the charger. That's with the stock 3100 mAh battery and the 5.5 inch screen. On top of that, I have the LTE radio on at all times because you can't turn it off on the AT&T model (the modem is locked by AT&T). And at any time I can replace the battery with another one or use an extended one.

To me the hardware comes first, because it can't be changed after the fact. The software...Well that's why we're all on XDA. Because we want to and we can change it. I'm not saying that Nexus devices are inferior or vice versa; I'm saying that having tried a Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4, I wasn't completely satisfied with them. For most people they're perfect. But I demand more, and that's why I love my Galaxy Note 2.
[General Topics] npainter7:
Thanks for the responses everyone:) See I personally am getting sick and tired of my galaxy nexus especially the battery. I have an extended battery that's a 2100 mah. I know its not a whole lot more, but its still horrible. I don't want a bulky ext battery. I guess I'm kind of a heavy user. Kinda Lol I don't play games a whole lot other than scramble with friends words with friends. Games like that. I do calls, messages, Facebook, and YouTube but gosh the battery is just terrible on the nexus I don't care what anyone says. I want the Note 2 so bad. I want a bigger screen, a big battery that can easily last me throughout my day no matter how much I use it. SD slot is always nice too. I'm really not a huge fan of touchwiz but you're right. I can use launchers to cover it up and yet still keep the awesome features the Note 2 has to offer. My phone is starting to get a bit sluggish on me lately. I click on an app, it take 2 to 3 seconds to open it up. Drives me NUTS Lol. When I played with the note 2 it was so fast and smooth and, amazing. Again thanks for the responses guys I appreciate it
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
As another ex-Galaxy Nexus user (though my last phone was the S3), get the Note 2. It's like living a dream. Touchwiz on the Note 2 adds so many features, and the launcher is the only crappy part. I'm using Nova launcher on mine. The notification bar is actually nice with the toggles on top. The S-Pen is crazy in terms of features it adds. It's not a regular stylus. The digitizer and stylus are made by Wacom; you can for example scroll with the stylus just hovering it above the screen. And in terms of battery life, this thing will get you through OVER a day. It's crazy. Get one, you won't regret it. I think this is the best phone I've EVER owned.
[General Topics] npainter7:
Ya I really really want the note 2. I just wish it didn't cost so freaking much. I'm due for an upgrade on Verizon. But I really don't wanna give up my unlimited. Although I'm not to worried about it of I lose it. But I can get the phone off amazonwireless.com for 200. Which is great. I might end up doing that. I too dislike the on-screen buttons. Sometimes they don't work like they should. I love the s-pen on the note 2. I think I'm gonna get it Lol I want to right now
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
Wait for the Galaxy S4 to come out this month or early next month, the price should go down substantially. The thing is, the Note 2 is super powerful and super smooth, so even when the S4 is out, the Note 2 is still worthwhile.

I prefere htc sense over every UI

My very first android device was the htc g2/vision/desire z (call it what you want xD) and it still is alive, but I run CM10.1, cus the RAM there is way too little for sense 4 (and that's imo the best sense ui ever) and now I got the htc mytouch 4G slide (yeees I'm a hw keyboard lover) and here sense 4 is very smooth

Had a galaxy s between but bricked it anyway...but there the first thing I looked for was a sense port :D

There was one but the devs kinda stopped (guess cus of RAM or sth)

Now I'm on my mytouch 4G slide on a CM10.1 ROM again, cus the sense ROMs lag too much, and the devs are mostly gone, but I themed it with widgetlocker and CM themes as close to sense as possible :)

I used to love Sense before it hit android but what HTC did to it on android is just really sad.
[General Topics] Nigeldg:
TouchFlo 3D made WinMo 6.5 great. Sense 3.5 and below is sort of justifiable since GB wasn't exactly great but it was still slow and heavy. Sense 4 was by far the worst for me, it was very slow and added little functionality over ICS. Sense 4+ was alright but didn't add much to Android; at least it wasn't slow. The new sense seems to be very good to me, since it's light and looks good but I don't like Blinkfeed much at all.

TouchWiz - it went from ugly to uglier to unbearably ugly. I personally can live without the features because most of them are gimmicky to me and the few useful ones don't justify the ugliness.

All other UXes don't add anything to Android.

Basically from that I choose AOSP over everything else any day. I love the Holo UI, it's smooth, it's clean, it's fast and it's stable.
[General Topics] zelendel:
Oh I am sure it is good if you like the sense look but the color skemes to me are just ugly as all get out. Then you get into themeing it and notice that HTC frameworks are a huge bunch of redundent images and coding that slows sense down alot. If they used the android framework for instead of having 6 of the same images for a button on top of the ones in the android framework then it gets crazy. I have not used Sense in a long time or any custom version of android like TW in a long time. I swear they could double the speed of the UI if they just stopped bloating it.
[General Topics] bbrad:
I like touchwiz lol...
[General Topics] alicarbovader:
The thing is that the android experience given to us by TouchWiz(Though I've never used touchwiz, but the launcher looks crap to me) and Sense UIs have been researched by expert marketing people and psychologists. These people find what an average person is comfortable with. If you're an average person, though no one is an average on xdadevelopers cuz they might never be here if they didn't want a change, then you're comfortable with what those devs over HTC and Samsung give you. They make something that is comfortable to use. Frankly, I used to be a huge fan of Sense in my HTC Desire a few months back. That stopped when I started noticing all the theming sections here on this site, and people's screen shots. That's when I found that there is huge world of change looming here. Now that people are here, including you, my friend, we have started appreciating the change, innovativeness, and uniqueness of Android. Then only we have started theming our phones with so many themes, ROMs, widgets, and what-not. A cousin of mine has a galaxy S2, and he is still using the default wallpaper on his S2, just because he's an average user. When people join xda, they are thinking of a revolution, a change.
[General Topics] bbrad:
Well I'm no average user in fact I even build aokp and I'm running CyanogenMod 10.1 but touchwi just seems fluid to me idk why
[General Topics] npainter7:
I think it all comes down to what people prefer personally. That's why I love android and all the options to choose from. But honestly, hardly any main consumers out there that don't know about rooting n all that, don't really care or know perhaps, about theming ect ect. They just want what either everyone else has, (IPhone) and now the s3 or Note 2 or big screen and oh awesome it can do this and that. Not much do people wonder about processors this 1080ppi that Lol. There is a lot more people that don't care about that stuff then there are people who are here on XDA. I wish I was sorta like them cuz I wouldn't be so crazy about flashing ROMS and/or wanting the latest and greatest phone Lol. But I'm proud to be a bit of a nerd:) and knowing what I have and how good(or bad) my device is.
[General Topics] zelendel:
You are right. We here make up less then 1% of the people that use android. Just have to wait for the hype to die down and then people will go back to their iphones soon enough.

[General Topics] tiazek:
I think people who chose pure stock over other UI is because they prefer performance over any UI trick. It's a matter of taste I believe.
[General Topics] npainter7:
Ya that could be a reason why. I know there many reasons I'm sure. Everyone has a preference. Me personally, I like those "tricks" as you call it. I'm at the point where I'm done with pure stock and ready to move on to give touchwiz a go I think. I really wanna give sense 5 a shot cuz to me, it looks sweet and I've always loved sense. But the Note 2 seems to be calling my name Lol
[General Topics] novusbogus:
I'm largely ambivalent about the UI and I'm aware that there are many ROMs available, but I bought and use my Nexus 4 to send a message that there's a market for carrier-agnostic unlocked phones (I'm not stupid enough to waste money on an iPhone). Frankly I don't trust Google much more than I do the telecoms but if enough people flock to Google phones maybe some OEMs will get serious about selling to consumers instead of doing everything through the carriers.
[General Topics] npainter7:
This would be great. But its all about the mullah and control. And thinking they know what's best for us. They don't have a clue (by them I'm meaning carriers.) Well, even some OEMS don't either it seems like lol

[General Topics] strangesura:
so you ask why stick ui is better?You will find after using a custom ui for a while.I own a gt p5110 and a nexus s and i can say that the nexus s run just as smooth with its 1ghz single core cpu as my tab with touch wiz. Generally,custom uis add features that nobody uses but still use the device's memory:Samsung apps,samsung push service,s suggest,video hub,facebook etc.With a custom ui you are bound to use all the useless software and if you do not use facebook or twitter,a ui that comes with those preinstalled is a real hassle.They eat up a lot of RAM(i managed to get facebook to use a whopping 150MB of ram on my nexus s with only 512MB).Stock ui allows you to choose what apps you want.

But the most annoying part is the bugs and lags it causes,not only annouying services. i remember when i had the stock lg rom on ly lg phone.It was awfully bad,and barely usable.After installing cm 7,everything just went better.The browser was as smooth as safari is,i could handle the desktop facebook site with ease(which caused the browser to crash before),i constantly had about 250-260MB ram available,i could run very very very heavy games.I even managed to play real racing 3 on it while the stock rom couldn't handle even the second one.Just as example.

Sure,custom uis offer useful software as well,such as mini apps which i find very useful,but the bad things it causes overcome the good ones.

Go get a DROID dna and a nexus 4 and compare them. The dna will always have over 1gb of ram being taken up, whereas the nexus 4 will usually have less than 1g of ram taken up. This leaves enough free ram to run any app you want. Some might say overkill, but soon our apps will take up more ram and require more resources, and aosp will cater to that better than sense or any overlay.
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
Free RAM is wasted RAM anyways; RAM is filled by the OS with apps that may or may not be running as a precache; so that they open quicker. That's why Task Killers are bad for battery and performance; they kill apps that are just going to be reopened by the OS again. Also, the DNA is running Sense, so of course RAM will be taken up. Plus on the DNA, the OS is pushing 1080p system resources (graphics). I get your point. But different strokes for different folks. I prefer the features of Sense to the bareness of AOSP.

[General Topics] RB14060:
In my opinion, the way Google designs their UI is the way that makes the most sense. I love the stock UI on my Nexus 7. Sure I use a different launcher, but that's just for apps. That doesn't change the statusbar or notifications or any other part of the system. I want a fast device and that's what a stock UI provides. Sure things like TouchWiz and Sense are nice, but they ultimately slow down the device and add a lot of un-needed things.

Oh no... That's never gonna happen. Android's the best out there. It keeps on getting better.

Oh I have been around long enough to know it will happen sooner or later. The average person only wants their phone to just work. I even know a few PC programmers that use IOS and when I ask why.
