It's Touchwiz, just with AOSP colours.

He is the guy who initially developed the theme for the S6 Edge, and then worked pretty hard to get it onto the Theme Store. Brilliant theme, and its the one I am running on my Note 5.

Anyone used a company

Photo video direct pyt ltd?

Seems to be selling the N920c for a good price and have a base in the Uk

I wonder if that is just a contact point and they are really in Asia or Australia. The speed of that site makes me suspicious. There are quite a few on ebay.

Speaking of speed..

Solid.

Coming from ios It's a strange experience. I have to admit I am loving it so far and the screen alone has sold to for me. Battery life is great so far. Samsung touchwiz isn't as laggy as I thought it would be.

I don't think you would regret purchasing it. Oh and my multicore score is highest I've seen even from YouTube tests.

If you activate developer options in settings you can change how long the transition animations last to .5 and you will get rid of what a few think of as lag.

The wretches will be unscrewing the backs to try and glaze their windows, ghastly fools.

I've given up waiting on these to arrive officially in the UK so have ordered a 64gb iPhone 6s Plus. Samsung have pretty much shot themselves in the foot with their smart **** attempts to manipulate people into their edge screen technology. Now I've moved to IOS and it's going to be much harder for them to sell me a phone in the future.

I was also getting worn down by battery dribble - finding my phone at 50 to 80pc after 8 hours off charge and no other use.

Had no issues with mine (other than them initially thinking it was fraud and I had to show ID and proof of address)

Thanks for that. It works great,really snappy now.

Managed to pick up AT&T version reasonably cheap (£420). In the UK already, should be with me tomorrow.

The positives are that is supports 4G on all UK networks, but some downsides that I've only just discovered. Main one seems to be getting updates that AT&T push out whilst not in the States. Seems like I'll need to get a cheap AT&T sim from ebay and activate on-line, which should allow updates to be installed.

Hopefully I can disable all the AT&T bloat using Package Disabler Pro.

That is the N920A?

I hadn't even thought about that. I'd better check how I can get updates... Surely we can download them from somewhere?

Muska · 20 Oct 2015 at 13:18

I would have thought you could flash them with Odin perhaps?

android-fan · 20 Oct 2015 at 13:25

It is the N920a.

According to this thread on XDA, putting in a at&t sim is the only workaround ?

Don't these AT&T models have a locked bootloader?
