Hate Blue GUI: Options?

[kajdna]

I hate the blue GUI! Strangely, if I pick the blue PHONE, then this diminishes the contrast with the blue GUI. Blue against white is even worse.

If I use an app such as LauncherPro and another for tweaking icons, etc. can I take the blue out of the GUI? How about GS3 settings?

Anyone else got a beef with the blue GUI?

You would only be able to get rid of it by installing a ROM.

I doubt that there are any settings buried in there that would allow you to change the color scheme up. I assume you have a beef with the TW and that is only going to be resolved with a new ROM.

Could be something that grows on you too. For me, at least, it's a new OS experience and a new manufacturer's skin (Touchwiz) I'm gonna give it some time before I root the crap outta it.

I'm changing the blue asap since the blue pixels are the ones most likely to burn out/in. Thx samaung

I'd recommend just applying a theme for now. You'll want to deodex before doing that, then re-odex after for optimum results. I'm not the biggest fan on TW either, but as others have said, its a brand new device. Spend some time getting to know it as is, learn its exclusive features and see if any are useful to you, and learn how well it runs stock. If you jump right into a stripped-down ROM, you'll have nothing to compare it to, and won't be able to accurately gauge any improvement, and may miss out on features you would have liked.

BTW, is this based on actual usage of the phone, or just reviews? Until you've had it in your hand for awhile, I wouldn't do much at all to it beyond rooting, blocking ads, changing DNS, and freezing Verizon (not Samsung) bloat.

You can change the background of the lock screen, home screen (which includes the app drawer), and desktop clock. I don't believe they force blue anywhere else?

My first N1 root was a fail, and I lost a phone I love. Don't think I'll try again. I definitely have "root and flash ROM" envy :-[

Aside from that, the N1 deal-breaker was that its usable internal memory was only a couple of hundred MB's and 90% of apps would not transfer to SD card . . .

This is a respons to BostonBeats88. Sorry. Couldn't tell whether the clickable boxes pointed up or down.
