Hello all,
I've been looking into getting the galaxy s4, however I have a friend who says touchwiz is very bloaty compared to what we own now (Droid Razr Maxx HD). He said stock Android is better and being a programmer I can see that. However I can't see touchwiz being too much slower considering it is essentially just a skin over stock android with a few more features added. I've read article after article about how touchwiz is slow or gets slower over time. However from a programming standpoint they never discussed reasons why this was happening. Forget about whether you think touchwiz looks pretty or not I wanted to have a software discussion about why it is better/worse or no different from stock android.
Most bloatware apps can be disabled and Android manages memory pretty well by killing old processes when needed, so I can't see how touchwiz is slower... if anyone could enlighten me that would be great.
