Preface Bought an Samsung i5510 to replace my Galaxy SMART phone (plan to return the latter to T-Mobile) for better battery, keyboard, and GPS. My Galaxy SMART phone has a beautiful user interface/interaction (UI). "Clean" icon presentation, aesthetically-pleasing color mode, great fonts, good virtual-desktop management, etc. My i5510, however, isn't nearly as good an experience. Comparitively ugly fonts. Ugly background, apps/widgets not as useful and/or well-present and/or not as nicely placed. Virtual desktop either not as easy/pleasing/efficient. Seems like it's mostly a UI-tweak thing to get it there... or OS (Android/Touchwiz/whatever) reinstall/reconfig to get it there. Question How do I get my i5510 "look and feel" to be just like my Galaxy SMART? (I'm not concerned about reinstalling apps/user/config settings... I'm happy to redo anything "specific to me.") Hoping this is a simple OS "reload" of a certain build version. In any case, how to do this? Help... thoughts... ? Any other context/details (eg, below) needed? (Need "chapter and verse," detailed directions. While a techie/geek/power-user for many other computing systems, never before have I customized Android/cell-phone stuff...) More details Not sure if this matters... but just in case... My Samsung Galaxy SMART: Android version = 2.2.2 Model number = SGH-T589 Baseband version = T589UVKF1 Kernel version = 2.6.32.9-perf uyoung.lee@SEP-19 #1 Build number = FROYO.UVKF1 My Samsung i5510: Android version = 2.2 Model number = GT-I5510 Baseband version = I5510BVKC1 Kernel version = 2.6.32.9-perf root@DELL102 #1 Build number = FROYO.BVKC2 fwiw, to my knowledge, I don't need 2.3/Gingerbread... my SMART currently suffices for most all things I need (although some additional options/tweaks/optimizations desired... see my other posts if you're interested in those).
Any thoughts? (Need to get crackin' on deciding which phone to keep while I can still return both of them.)
