Re: Hate the New update 7.0
I can understand why you might not like it, but "exactly like an iPhone"? No, it's nothing at all like an iPhone. I don't guess you've actually used one.
I agree that everything is too bright, but there are hundreds of dark themes in Samsung's theme store. Many of them free. Not sure what you mean by switch screens to see what emails you have, but I still see mine in the notification shade like before. And if you really "don't have time" to take the 10th of a second necessary to "switch screens" you need to manage your time better.
There is still quite a bit of customization possible, if you spend a few minutes to go through the settings. Will it ever look just like MM? No. Many of the changes you don't like are from Google. Google is pushing design to lighter colors, and most manufacturers are following suit. I don't really like the new color pallette either, but it's easy enough to change.
