I have read many reviews now about the S3 including the great one Phil wrote.
While the S3 won't be my first android phone, it will be my first Samsung android phone with Touchwiz.
Until now, I thought all of the cool features like smart stay, Gesture controls, Pop-up Play, and S voice were a part of the Touchwiz.
But after reading Phils' review, I realized (unless I'm mistaking) that touchwiz is only the launcher. He installed the Apex launcher on the at&t version of the s3 he was using in his video. and I'm guessing that replaces Touchwiz...but my question is what else?
Is Samsung's calendar app replaced at that point? or is it just the widget that takes you to the android calendar?
Maybe I'm just confusing everything after reading Alex's review. He seemed to put everything about Touchwiz and all the features of the S3 into one section of "Software". The review mentions Touchwiz Nature UX as well as "inspired by Nature".
The ringtones, the water like lock-screen, wall paper, even the power control widget..
.....I'm confused on what parts are Touchwiz and what parts will remain if a launcher like Apex is installed.
Anyone know if you lose the water like ripple lock screen if you use a different launcher?
Maybe it would be best if there were a list of features for touchwiz vs apps for the phone;
Touchwiz
Calendar Widget
Music Widget
Wall paper?
etc
etc
Phone Apps
Smart Stay
Pop-up-Play
etc
does anyone know where the line is drawn?
