hey what is up guys on kb HD here and good news for anyone who owns a samsung galaxy s6 or galaxy s6 edge or was thinking about buying one samsung has approved a material design theme in their theme store right now and it's live one of my personal biggest complaints with this contender for one of the best phones of 2015 is still the software and yes it is a market improvement from the galaxy s5 last year there's a lot less bloatware a lot less unnecessary crap but it still definitely TouchWiz and I still definitely prefer a cleaner look from something like a nexus over that and I'm not the only one so this approval of a material design theme is a pretty big deal so to find it first of all it's not in the new section of the themes store which is where you'd expect to find it instead it's under the themes for man section what why is it called that I don't really know so once you find it you can download it and apply it and it's free and boom you got it installed now like any theme from the store it changes a lot of the elements of the look of your phone now because of copyrights it's not exactly the same as a nexus it doesn't look exactly like what you would find on a Nexus 6 and anyone can put them side-by-side and observe that but it's sort of like a hybrid in that way it's unique and I kind of like it it has a lot of the elements of both Samsung's features and stock androids look so jumping in the overall look of course of Samsung's software is changed so the lockscreen first of all looks a bit more flat with the shortcuts in each corner and then it's given that material design wallpaper and the colors aren't exactly right but it's still close enough and then jumping in you can see the app drawer has the skin and all the icons are skinned and even the quick settings pulldown is themed to look a lot more like that material dark theme you'd find on a nexus but it still keeps all of Samsung's functionality all the buttons are still the same and the Settings app I think is actually the best improvement or at least the one that looks closest to what I'd find in a nexus with all the simplified icons and all the colors it looks way better in my opinion than a sort of cartoonish set we had before so settings I give a great thumbs up too and then there's all the other stock apps that we themed the dialer again this isn't a perfectly themed skin but it's somewhat close and the messenger app also so it's much more material here although you can totally get the Google messenger itself from the Play Store now so you can see the Samsung keyboard here which not only looks a lot like the stock lollipop one but I actually think it's better with the permanent number keys up top but maybe that's just me you also get a skin calculator which looks a bit better and you also get a skinned clock but also again the stock clock from Android is available in the Play Store as well so that's recent you can grab that if you want that more authentic look but you can also get the skin calendar app and a skin email app I mean a ton of the stock apps are skinned in this theme here and it looks pretty complete as far as touch with stuff goes so I'm a big fan of this and obviously if you want to take it to the next level of authenticity or looking a lot more like a nexus then you can install actual Google Apps from the Play Store to replace the ones on the phone so I did that with like the Google messenger and the Google clock and actually even the Google launcher although you don't get all the custom icons if you use the Google now launcher but I'm fine with that so there you go I was inspired to make the video about this because this is about as close as it's going to get now to my version of a dream phone which would be a Google Play edition galaxy s6 edge but that's obviously not going to happen but it's really all about aesthetics this is about as close as it's going to get because you're not going to be able to match functionality of Android L and Android M with all the stuff you get with TouchWiz even though these features are nice they're not as pretty so the theme sort of makes that better so there you have it if you enjoyed it feel free to give this video a thumbs up and if you want to see more videos sort of like this then leave a thumbs up or a comment down below to let me know either way that's minute thanks for watching and I'll talk to you guys the next one peace you
