The Galaxy S8 is touted as the best smartphone so far by many users and the tech community. The design and build quality of the Galaxy S8 are by far the best compared to any device we’ve seen. Apart from the design and computing power, the device also provides a fresh UI in the name of DreamUX. We’ve already seen DreamUX ports to various Galaxy smartphones like Galaxy S7/S7 Edge, Galaxy S6/S6 Edge, and Galaxy Note 5/Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. Now, thanks to the XDA developer huaminhquan93, we have the DreamUX ROM for all Galaxy S5 variants.
The Galaxy S5 is a relatively old device but developers never fail to breathe new life into this device. The latest Galaxy S8 ported DreamUX ROM is based on the C9000ZCU1AQC2 firmware running on Android 7.0 Nougat. The ROM consists of many Galaxy S8 ported apps including the latest TouchWiz Home, Weather widget, Music app, Voice recorder, Video player, S Browser, Fonts & Sounds, and many more mods.
