I hate ONE UI

I downloaded Samsung's new one UI for my S9 as soon as the update came available... and i hate it. The annimations and art style look like a btec version of what we had before (British joke sorry). Under the hood the update seems like an upgrade. Better security and the system night mode are much loved, but i can't get on board with any of the UI changed. 

 

I want to stay on ONE UI for the upgrades, but i need the old look back. What apps/themes do i have to run to get that back?

If it's just the icons that bother you then, you can definitely find an icon pack on the play store.

 

Alternatively, you could get a different launcher as well. My favorite one was Nova Launcher.

Make sure to quote or tag people, so they get notified.

I absolutely hate it. Already hate the awful s9 plus infinty display is so ugly. Never buying another samdung phone ever. Bezels are beautiful and square edge phones are more comfortable to hold and feel more secure in hand. Since phone got ui and pie my camera is completley changed, very slow resonse with touch input sometimes up 2 seconds before what I touch opens. Battery life is down an average of 3 hours. Almost all my system apps no longer work. Basically I can play some games as long as they are simple. Videos buffer sometimes on wifi. My phone has become an ecpensive piece of junk. Going to try the stylo 4. If you spend close to a grand for a phone it should have the bootloader unlocked so you can undo crappy updates.

So install another one. It's not like Android limits you there. I prefer ADW.

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!
