Bruh, get a fucking Nexus and install CM

You customize it by adding a custom ROM. Duh.

autism

you can't.
since you bought the most popular brand (samsung) you've made a huge mistake. without raping your warranty you won't be able to customize anything. but you should've bought oneplus/moto/google if you wanted freedom to customize, what you're using now is android for iphone people. you won't be able to modify your status bar even though you install a custom rom, but you'll be able to install shitloads of cm themes on play store.

Samsung has built in themes in its system, you can pick any and it should just werk. Nexus users jelly as fuak.

just get an iphone se

Cyanogenmod

>>57292572

You can theme TouchWiz
Also, get rid of avast asap, you don't need that shit

>>57292572
>Avast
Holy shit. Delete that, it's only wasting your battery. Android is secure enough.

Also, what >>57292876 said. Not only that, but if it's one of the Exynos models, you can forget about installing ROMs. Touchwiz has themes (unlike before), but it's just..not good.

Why did you go with a Samsung device, anyway? Because it was popular? Should've picked Sony, LG or HTC instead. Now you're going to have a terrible experience and blame it on Android, when it's Samsung at fault.

>>57292876
You obviously havent seen what lenovo have done to motorola.

its shit now.

>>57293159
Do they rearrange the settings or just change color schemes and icons?
Because the stock touchjizz layout is fucking awful.

>>57293298
yes

>>57293234
Nah Samsung is great, or at least they were. They build phones that last. My lg g3 shit the bed after a year and a half so I pulled out my old galaxy s3, updated my ROM, got a new battery, and it works like new. Because the phones are so popular they have great 3rd party development support. There are tons of cheap replacement parts too. The headphone jack was screwed up at one point from damage, so I opened up the phone and replaced it for $6.

Don't know if the s6 and s7 are any good but I love the s3, and the s5 is probably the best $200 phone out there right now.

>>57292572
First of all rremove avast (and any kind of "antivirus").

>>57293234
>Android is secure enough.
No it is not. Not that useless shit like Avast will help, though.

Get goodlock. It lets you make the swipe down bar look stock-ish. And you can get a theme

>>57293259
Tell me more, anon.

I have a moto g and I love it. I was considering upgrading it to a newer motorola

>>57293234

>secure enough
No.

>>57292572
Looks great to me. What's the problem?

>>57296002
Less than a half years of updates, they literally drop support faster than mac fanboys swallow semen for the newest iphone

>>57292572

>>57292572
install gentoo

>>57293355
Bruh dude, s5 was the last s phone to have CM, and it's only the Snapdragon version. All versions of S6 and S7 are locked down to hell.

>>57296031
>if I say no with a full stop it conveys my authority on the subject and thus no one may argue

>>57292572
samsung themes. pick a Material theme.
Nova launcher.
some icon pack. that's it.

>>57292876
never had a samsung, but can't you just install another launcher and call it a day?

>>57299374
Where did that meme came from? I see that way too often. Please don't tell me people actually think launcher is able to change phone's UI.

>>57296467
So the exynos version doesn't have any CM support? And here I thought I'd be spending some money to buy an s5. Right now I'm using and s3 with resurrection remix rom. Changed the battery and charger port, and the screen too because i fucked it up. Good as new. Heck even faster than most mid range phones nowadays

>>57292572
Samsung's TouchWiz supports Themes. Install one of the Material Design ones.
