Galaxy 4 update to 5.0.1

Apr 12, 2015 1:29AM PDT

Samsung updated my Galaxy 4 to 5.0.1. The color look really sucks.
I just love when programmers think they no more on what the customer wants then the customer. Who gave them the idea that I wanted the entire color theme and background color to change from what it was to now a white background and light puke colors such that you can't even read the screen. On top of it they did not allow the user to customize it . I talked to the samsung techs and they even went on my phone and could not see anyway to customize.
Damn phone looks like an Ipad and I hate Apple products.
Samsung...stop following and start leading!

My S4 just updated to 5.0.1 I wish that I had been offered the option not to update. I used to have a great phone now i have a piece of junk that decides what IT would like on MY homescreen and removes what I want. I also agree with the post above the new colour scheme stinks. is this supposed to be a step forward? As Samsung seems insistent that I would like IPhone features then I guess I'll just buy an IPhone next time.

who says you cannot customize it? you can change everything. you can even change the launcher. all the settings are still there so change it if you don't like the new look.
