These are the list of updates OneUI should have had long time ago! I hope they add it in future OneUI 4 and not make us wait for the next generation OneUI which would be very upsetting. If anyone agrees with my list please comment so samsung can see this.
Tip #1:
Add Samsung Discover to S20 devices
Tip #2:
Add a slower and smoother closing and entering app animation
Tip #3:
Add the rotating brightness icon in the notification menu. Why remove it?
Tip #4:
Bigger and wider notification buttons.
Tip #5:
Better looking default icons.
Tip #6:
About 5% more rounded widgets.
Tip #7:
More widgets needs to be added. These are just redesigned old widgets.
Tip #8:
Bring back the old music player in notification menu!
Tip #9:
Decrease the app drawer darkness by 5-10%
Tip #10:
Vertical games should have the same animations as horizontal games when leaving the app (aka. Closing the app)
Tip #11:
Have a new design for the time, battery, wifi, battery percentage, etc icon in the notification above. Its 2021, not 2016.
Tip #12:
Have the ability to remove bixby and not force us to keep it.
Tip #13:
The smoothness of homescreen and lockscreen notification swipe down is not the same. This means, the lockscreen has a laggy swipe down animation.
Tip #14:
Make the bottom navigation bar thicker by 1px and 5% smaller.
Tip #15:
Only have a circle around the emojis in the keyboard and not the other icons.
Tip #16;
Add a smoother opening emoji section
Tip #17:
A new animation for swipe typing.
Tip #18:
Add color to the camera icon and phone icon in the lockscreen.
Tip #19:
When loading to view app notifications on a app. There should be a new design. The current one looks too old, nothing compared to modern designs.
Tip #20:
Make it possible to talk using the phone microphone while using bluetooth earphones. What if your bluetooth microphones are broken, and you only hear sound?
Tip #21:
Opening and closing apps are not that smooth, a update of these new animations would be nice to have. Feels a little laggy. The animations should be created in 60fps not feel like 49-50fps!
Tip #22:
The notifications on some apps are closed. I missed having the larger notifications so I can have the ability to view more of that app. This can prevent misclicks.
Tip #23:
The google search widget is not the same dark theme as the default dark widgets. Yes, i know you could change it by google settings. But if i do that, there is no colorful google icons on the search!
Tip #24:
Searching for wifi networks is a lot slower than before.
Tip #25:
Opening and closing the camera app is wayyy too laggy! This is for all s20, s21, note 20 series!
Tip #26:
The notes app sometimes deletes all the words in one certain note (not the others) this happens when you type too quick and type a lot. I believe grammarly has something to do with this.
Tip #27:
Apps are shutting down by themselves randomly (examples: tiktok, snapchat) without any notices.
Tip #28:
Some settings options in the settings app are not ONEUI 4 themed. They have android 12 default theme.
Tip #29:
When closing a widget (example: calender widget) and having the calender app in homescreen, disables the widget animation and starts the app closing widget.
Tip #30:
Add option to disable app icon dark mode. I like the normal colors than having them darken.
Tip #31:
Add esim support for s20 ultra. We all have it, just disabled by software.
Tip #32:
Using 1.5gb more ram than before. What happened to google's announcement of reducing ram usage and improve the overall experience of all apps? No matter what Android?
Tip #33:
Where is the samsung themed google message app seen on s21 series?
Comment below, let me know what you think! I plan on adding more overtime!
#23 and #28 yes, I've noticed this too. The permissions manager, for example, shows Google's greyish dark mode and header font instead of Samsung's black dark mode and font.
I wonder if certain Google-provided components are not themeable by vendors like Samsung. I know some, including permission manager, are directly updated through Project Mainline by Google.
I would certainly like to see them themed if possible!
