If only every application was just a backend with a well-defined API and a default UI, then we could have independently sourced UIs that every person could choose (and customize) on demand!
- viraptor 12y agoIn this case - isn't it? Samsung is happy to almost completely change the whole look and feel. HTC has its own additions. Components like keyboards are completely separate apps. Nokia released their launcher. What's missing apart from people actually writing and releasing those independent UIs?
- tomp 12y agoAFAIK, different OEMs just change the system's look and feel (desktop, launcher, keyboards, maybe some built-in apps that are usually crap/adware/spyware), not the UI of the actual applications (e.g. GMail).
