| May 4, 2011 at 14:41 | comment | added | GAThrawn | @Jean that does depend what you mean by 100% usable - my phone is a Galaxy S running the stock Samsung 2.2.1 Android OS with their TouchWiz 3 customizations, and I've never felt the need for a custom ROM, I haven't needed that for anything I've wanted to do. That said, my previous phone an HTC Magic ran stock Android with no modifications, and I think my next one would too, so will probably be a Nexus, I just prefer simplified over pretty most of the time. | |

| May 4, 2011 at 13:07 | comment | added | Jean-François | Yeah it does. But is this 'official' or is this like jailbreaking an iPhone? I know how to jailbreak or root a phone, but I don't like the idea that for it to be 100% usable, one has to 'hack' it. | |

| May 4, 2011 at 9:41 | comment | added | GAThrawn | @Pitto The Galaxy S II comes with Samsung's TouchWiz 4 interface and app customizations, this has its own launcher and modifications to various apps including the Contacts, Music and Video apps. This is similar to how HTC's phones come with their Sense UI and heavily customized apps. | |
| May 4, 2011 at 8:59 | comment | added | Jean-François | Basically all I want is to use the unmodified Android firmware, just as they do on the Nexus S. Moreover, the Nexus S has guaranteed software updates (2.3.4 is out for it right now, who knows when it will be available for the Galaxy II). | |
| May 4, 2011 at 8:24 | comment | added | Pitto | ...? Can you please be more specific about your question? You talk about Samsung graphic customizations? | |
