A53 screen lock, audio, notifications, interface, clock, gestures and other extra changes with update

[wontMatter]

My phone has been downgraded... i mean supposidly upgraded. Screen lock is like putting a bike bell on a mack truck. Cant hardly hear it. User interface is completely trash now. I go to look for notifications and have way too much going on to see what im even trying to do. Its like the update forced all the gestures and extras to be turned on. Clock looks rediculous. Just total **bleep**. Every updat till this weekend was security and whatnot. This time was taking the actual UI and changing it. You took something that i was used to and crapped on it. Wont be getting a samsung moving forward, not if they are basically going to brick my device after a couple years. Could have left well enough alone but i cant stand the sound profiles, cant change to what itbused to be and its a nightmare to just swipe down and select a notification. Maybe someone should change your car, you know so the back wheels turn instead of the front. See if that by comparison gives you the feeling of owning something and feeling its utterly useless. FIX IT!!! MAKE THIS UPDATE INVALID AND JUST LEAVE THE UI ALONE. That and how many legal status updates do you got to send me at 4am. The Fascinate was the best. S5 was 2nd... really is no 3rd, the company has caked its pants since

If you got to the post the moderator linked to, I have come up some solutions.

Samsung and Google have the absolute right to change their software at any time.  They have done so.  You agreed to the TOS for both companies when you put your phone into service.  Instead of getting hysterical, why not try to learn what you can change or alter to make the operating system workable for you?  OneUI 7 still has plenty of customization options to bring back some semblance of the way your phone looked and operated before.  The whole point of updates is to change. There will be things you don't care for very much, but you will learn to live with them. There will also be things you love. How do you function in the world when things change?
