If you love your Galaxy S6 but despise TouchWiz, you’ll soon be able to get a stock Android experience without rooting. A number of stock Android themes are coming to Samsung’s official Theme Store, bringing pure Material Design magic as Google intended it.

Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface for Android is universally mocked for being bloated and slow, but it would appear the South Korean company is finally set to do something about it. Sources say it won’t just be overhauling its hardware for the upcoming Galaxy S6, but also its software as well as it aims to deliver an experience as smooth as pure Android.

Still struggling to get a Nexus 6 through Google Play? You can now buy the device direct from Motorola instead — and providing you get your order in fairly quickly, your handset will be shipped in early January.

The Nexus 6 has been available to order through Google Play for over two weeks now, but getting hold of one has been incredibly difficult. Google appears to have very little inventory, and when new stock comes in, it sells out within minutes. It should come as no surprise, then, that retail supplies are going to be seriously constrained, too.

Sony knows you’re itching to get your Android 5.0 Lollipop upgrade, so it’s making matter worse by publishing a new video that demonstrates Google’s latest software running on its flagship Xperia Z3. This won’t be the software you get from Sony, however, because it’s pure Lollipop without any third-party tweaks.
