[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] bbfoto:
The below list are just my personal preferences, so don't hate! :p And for reference, I am using the AT&T G850A model at the moment, though I have a G850M on the way to me.

1. Quick Toggles. I don't like the new color & contrast of the Quick Toggle settings icons when you drag down the Status/Notification bar. Because of this it seems to have even smaller text & icons than in KK, and the color choices offer even Less Contrast, which is especially harder to read or see in direct sunlight!

2. The Phone Dialer/Keypad. I like the KK one slightly better, though it's not great either. Again, I like to have high-contrast, rectangular or circular boarders around each number key to differentiate between each individual # key, and to have a Larger Font for both the numbers and T9 letters. In LP, the letters seem even smaller and harder to read, though I guess T9 letters & the assosciated presses should be something you just know from memory & experience, but it's been A LONG TIME since I've used a T9 keyboard! The white or dark background doesn't matter to me as long as each Button/#Key has good high-contrast against the background and is easily discernible from adjacent keys. Also I like the T9 Letters to be Above or Below the Key Number, not on the side. Yes, I am old, haha. I like some things to be very clear, distinct, and simple. Maybe I should just opt for a Jitterbug phone, LOL. I actually really like the Dialer Keypad on my Galaxy Note 8.0 v4.1.2 in the attached screenshot below!

3. Settings Menu. I like the new white background in the Settings Menu, but am really surprised that they chose to change this to white due to the increased power that the AMOLED display will use. As we all know, this phone has a small battery as it is! (I am loving the 2500mAh Extended Battery Kit though!) And afterall, i guess that we don't usually spend too much time in the Settings Menu or the Phone Dialer/Keypad. But I would also like a built-in option to choose between at least a simple dark or light theme...this is Android afterall! I agree that in dark environments, the white background might be overly glaring, but it's no different than using the web browser/internet, so?

4. Status/Notification Bar. In both KK & LP, most of the time the top Status Bar is a very similar color as the background of the screen or the app that you are in. For me, I always just want this to be a simple high-contrast Black Background with Bright White Symbols (or the app-specific symbol color) so that Notifications are always easy to see even in bright outdoor lighting conditions. The Status Bar's Text & Symbols seem to be slightly smaller in LP as well. I would like the built-in option to make the Symbols and Status Bar slightly larger overall.

5. Contacts & Phone Menu. I like the new LP White Background of the Contacts list. But at the top where the "buttons" are to switch between the Keypad/Logs/Favorites/Contacts, it has the same bad, low-contrast Color Scheme & Small Text as the new Quick Toggle settings icons. :( Also, in FAVORITES, when you tap on one of your Favorite Contacts, it goes straight to Direct Dialing their default phone number, and it doesn't bring up that Contact's full details so you can choose another option (maybe I don't want to dial their default number, etc.)! Though I'm sure that I'm a tool and am missing something here...I hope!

6. I do like the Scalable Font/Text Size in Text Messaging by using the volume rocker. But I'm not sure if this was already in KK on the Alpha? (this phone is new to me).

7. Stock Keyboard. I like the slight changes in the Key Size & Spacing in the new Stock Keyboard in LP, except that once again they went with a lighter background that offers less contrast & less legibilty in bright light! Arghhh. I still prefer and use the Smart Keyboard Pro "Cupertino" keyboard though, so no biggie.

Here's a link to a YouTube video that shows a lot of the changes between KK & LP on the Alpha. Many thanks to YouTube member "J500J500" for posting this!:

See my attachment below of the SCREENSHOT from Video showing the difference between the KK & LP Phone Dialer Keypad. IMO, the KK Keypad on the Left is much easier to "see" at a quick glance, but it's not a huge deal...I can live with the new keyboard in LP. However, take notice of how small the icons & text labels are at the top in LP, and the much lower contrast. And the 3 Vertical Dots for the Settings Menu are tiny and are spaced extremely close together. From a distance it's almost hard to tell that there are 3 distinct dots. For me, in bright sunlight while outdoors this is way more difficult to see. The Status Bar seems to have noticably smaller text & symbols as well. I realize that these changes might not be a problem for everyone, but me no likey! :( Again, this is just my humble opinion and everyone will have their preference one way or the other. Variety is the Spice of Life!

That's it for now. But I'm sure that I'll add more to this list later. :p
