So I recently made an update from Android 7.1.1 to Android 9, but Samsung One UI is total garbage. But downgrading to Android 7.1.1 is not a good alternative due to security patches you can only get with newer Android version apparently. I don't really want to use a Custom ROM as the stock ROM is good for everyday use. My question is, is it possible to get an older design layout like Samsung Experience 8.5 (Android 7.1.1 UI) or TouchWiz Nature 4.0 UX ( S5 UI, as this is my most favourite design). I guess you can't uninstall One UI and install a different UI. Nova Launcher would be an option but it doesn't give the exact same layout from Experience 8.5 or TouchWiz. My Google search wasn't really successful as there are no real good ways to get this UI. Are there other possibilities to get it or am I stuck and can't do anything about it?

Im trying to decide between htc one and galaxy s4 and the drawback to the htc one to me is the flavor of android it has (sense 5?) and so my question is, is there a vanilla android ROM I can flash it with or something if I get it? I will figure it all out and spend hours learning how to do it once I know if I even can! Thank you so much
Yes you can install CyanogenMod and such.
Samsung are planning to release a Vanilla version of the Galaxy S4 without the Touchwiz interface.
Hey I know people don't usually like these type of questions, but I have done a lot of searching and can't find what I'm looking for.
I want to flash a ROM on my Captivate that is based off of a Samsung ROM. I really like the look and feel of the S2 and S3 ROMs. It seems like all custom ROMs are based off of the Nexus version of 4.2 and I don't like it as much.
Does anyone know of a ROM that is based on Samsung 4.2 and has a similar look and feel?
Thanks

Google Nexus devices use clean Google Android OS with stock Vanilla UI
Samsung ROMs are based on Google AOSP with Samsung TouchWiz UI
Custom ROMs are based on Google AOSP or CyanogenMod, theming allows UI you like
CM10.1 based ROM + Galaxy S3 theme will give you close to stock Samsung UI look.
Take a look at Avatar ROM + Galaxy S3 theme, for example. Stable ROM with good support.

Is there any way to keep latest touchwiz on my phone after updating it to CyanogenMod 10?
You could try to search for a Launcher that keeps the TouchWiz or a theme like that for Cyanogenmod.
Cheers
use custom rom base stock rom, if you want get latest touchwiz
I believe the Trebuchet Launcher is quite close to touchwiz.
My phone's baseband version is : N920CXXU5CRL1
I cant find myself a suitable rom for me. I want it to close to stock android rom as possible but higher version of it since samsung gave up on releasing more updates on note5.
I want to find android 9.0 but no root or extra features sole android 9.0 because I play a game called Fate grand order which is nightmare of all rooting and custom roms.
Also is it possible to install higher version of android without changing kernel on it?
Soooooooo apparently this has never been done before...
The Samsung Galaxy NX Camera is a Camera that runs full Android 4.2.2 and is the first and last of its kind for now. This camera has great potential! I want to be able to use apps to edits my videos and pictures as I do on my Pixel 2 XL BUT the problem is, it doesn't update pass Android 4.2.2. Most of the apps I want to use require the firmware to be at least Android 5.0+ and sucks because not only this device is unknown and discontinued by Samsung but there are no ROMs made for it. I can root the device I just need to get an Android Custom ROM, It would be nice to be able to run Android 9 or 10 but I don't know much about doing this, when comes to stuff like this I am a Newb. So yes I need help figuring this out. (this would be a great challenge for developers I bet lol)
The camera came out in 2014 around the same time as the Samsung S4.
MODEL #: Galaxy NX (EK-GN120a)
Android Version: 4.2.2
If you need more info just ask.
