[email protected]@K...touchwiz 3.0?

i just saw this video and heard a rumor that the 2nd gen samsung moment running android 2.1 will have this UI built in it. looks amazing and super fast! if this is released could it be ported to the hero at all? looks like a great alternative to sense IMO.
thoughts?

PM me with a leak or rom dump and I'll try to port it.

ill try to find it tonight.

i've never tried it but i think it looks pretty sleek also.
although after having a moment for 3 weeks and returning it for the hero it will take a lot more than a sleek ui to ever get me to buy another samsung phone.

I heard that same rumor. I don't think there'd be anything stopping it from being ported being that it would simply be a home replacement. It my not even need to be ported at all.. just push an apk and some libs maybe.
That samsung wave is definitely not an android phone though.

TouchWiz
Did this ever get ported? Would really love to see this, as I really love it's interface. Sorry if this is posted elsewhere, but I DID search the forums and google didn't come up with anything.

Its horrible. Been playing with it on our demo epic at work and its just bad. It feels really bulky and slow and looks cheap.

This looks cool, but kind of engineered to be over simplified. Reminds me of an iphone, but for kids. Haha
It seems like this version of touchwiz can be ported, but don't some things, like the toggles on the drop down bar, need edits to the frameworks to make them work? Seems to me like a Wave ROM would be a better idea to get sell of the features of touchwiz. I wouldn't mind that, as the Samsung lockscreen looks really cool. (slide in any direction to unlock).

I have an Epic and I am really enjoying the interface, would like to put on my Hero as well. If not the functionality, at least the format/color scheme would be nice.

[REQ] We need these themes...

These are just sick. I would kill (or donate ) to see these ported over for CM6, Sky Raider, and Stock (8/1 froyo).

That Rusty Metal theme kicks ass. I'd love to port them, alas I don't know how!

i would love to try these but i dont have lots of experience ive only done light porting

Well, I sent PMs to the creators of the themes, but it will be tough for them to do since they don't have the phone.

yea im good at replacing png files but when it comes to when files dont add up and different xml files im clueless

rusty metal eoll be a difficult port because the g1 is mdpi
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

That Rusty Metal one is the perfect one for us scrapbookers. I would love to get that one.

yea, these are not a cinch to port since they are for mdpi, as pointed out
its definitely possible though, i may look at it this weekend, but its going to be time-consuming and a royal pain in the arse

I'd just be happy for more themes don't care what they are..was visiting the evo and desire forums..good stuff they got going over there man would those be easier to port rather than g1 themes?

i could probably port them too. im running cm6 test8 (pure vanilla version, made by me). just post links and either me or invisiblek could do something with it.
try to stick with hdpi themes, like ones from the evo/nexus....they are wayyyyyyyyyyyyy easier to port.porting themes from an mdpi device (like the hero, eris, g1, mytouch, mtslide,etc) is bigger pain in the ass than you can imagine

You will never guess what I found in the marketplace! Just for the heck of it I typed in rusty metal and got 2 things. Says they need Open Home to work. Is that a G1 thing or can we download it and use it on our Incredible's?

OK. I did some digging.
I found "More Vintage Less War" ported to the Nexus One here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=631428
That was it, though. I checked the Evo, Desire, and Nexus One forums, and that was the only one of the three I found. I'd still donate to get all three, but one is a good start.

I will port what needs to be added so you get the full look on Froyo.
Edit: Done trying it out now. Needs a little work but, I like it...
This has only been tested on Sky Raider 2.2, should work on other froyo roms. Backup then use at your own risk.
1. For the Rusty Metal theme you can use Open Home Full plus the Rusty Metal theme thats on market w/ my Rusty_Metal_Incredible_froyo.zip.
or
2. My Rusty_Metal_Incredible_froyo.zip with Better Cut and Launcher Pro.
I'm uploading it now, we should start another thread for it though. Right?

Note: Unzip then use these icons or whichever icons you like.

That won't change the framework though, will it? Also I much prefer launcherpro
Thanks by the way
Edit: Just to clarify, I am less concerned about icons/launcher dock, etc. I can do that already with LauncherPro. I was more concerned with the notification bar, and other framework-related pieces of the theme. Is that what you meant by "what needs to be added"? If so, I love you.

Good I'll give that a try later in the week when I have the money to get Open Home.
uh, I know I'm sounding dense but what do you mean by 10 chars?

Any chance of getting a port of the more vintage less war one? I would imagine it'll be easier since it's already been ported to n1. And thank you rusty metal looks epic. Yes it should have its own thread.
Edit: rusty metal works and looks fantastic on the 8/1 OTA.

Smoki too But remember, it's just a launcher. If you want a complete set of things, you would have to create your own theme

as what Klothius said

Can you share the launcher.apk capy and klothius? I'd like to try and implement it in my own mix.

Samsung Galaxy S phone and dial pad apps
Hmmm is there anyway to port the Galaxy S contact APKs and other UIs? I've just recently changed mine to Cyanogenmod and seems to me the stock UI is pretty boring.

Sure, go on and have a look at any Galaxy ROM.. The pngs are only for HDPI and there will likely be none for our MDPI devices as AFAIK there are no TouchWiz MDPI phones.
A few months ago I tried it myself, but it was pain to get all the images right..

I can give you touchwiz app just install it

Ah that kinda sucks. Hmmm i guess the only option is to upgrade my phone then. Hmmm just an off-topic question, should i get the Motorola Atrix, LG optimus 2x or the Samsung Galaxy S2

There is a port of MDPI Touchwiz app on the forums i have the app if you want it i can give it to you, but its slow i think that LP and ADW are much faster

AOSP for Desire S

i did start this thread in the general section when i had fewer than 10 posts, so sorry about the repost.
i have been wondering if any work has been done porting aosp to the desire s or if anyone could point me to the proper tutorials on how to do it, though i will have little time to work on it during the next 3 months or so.
cheers

it would indeed seem that way. just pulled the cm sources to see if adding a new device wasn't too hard a task and it seems there already has been some work done towards porting it to the saga (aka desire s). finally some good news

Hope the port for Saga comes soon. Really look forward to getting rid of Sense.

NexuS has pretty same hardware. Even better cam..
I sold NexuS because I missed some of the sense things:
the stock dialer has NO t9 search - most dialer from market are crap or slow or somehow frickled on the stock dialer. Even old nokia do have a quick search option...
Stock contacts are ugly.
GAL (global adress list for exchange server) is NOT implemented in android 2.x - only in 3.0; but it's implemented since sense1 (hero)
CM had some issues - espacially with the notification bar/speed settings - on 2.3 - the new sense 3.0 lockscreen and notification bar are very good - so no need for CM at the moment - for _me_
So I deleted most of sense.apk from /system on my DesireS (all widgets, all "htc", like route66, amazon, stockexchange..) and do use adw-launcher instead of rosie (don't delete it cause is needed for lockscreen settings!) - but do have integrated company exchange and a good biult in dialer, cool contacts (with flickr and fb content) and nice lockscreen..

Sense is THE BEST ANDROID UI, EVAR. Don't know why people wanna "DE-SENSE" their phones. I'm gonna flash CM7 to see what the fuss is about , but sense 3.0 first Hopefully, the new official version of CM7 will come for DS too. I'd rather let the ports pass on...........

to each their own. i'm still waiting to see someone make a WebOS like UI for android ^^

In my case I obviously liked the phone much enough to neglect my dislike towards Sense
I don't complain about having Sense and can live with it but would prefer to run clean Android build when/if it becomes available.

I get the sarcasm, but well, imo WebOS is a really good os. It's too new and has veeeeerrry less apps. In abou 1-2 years maybe, it'll become as good as android is today.

had there been better WebOS devices on the market, i would probably have bought one of those instead. i've been told that app development is a lot easier than on any other platform. and as soon as i get some time, i might just look into writing apps for android.

There's plenty of HTC phones out there that are running custom ROMs and customised user interfaces that don't rely on Sense. It may be the "out of the box experience" as far as most HTC phones are concerned, but isn't that what all THIS (ie these forums) is about - customisations, and thinking "out of the box"? (no pun intended, haha).
If we all concentrated on Sense and variations on that theme then this community would be a much poorer one.
Peace

sense ftw!

Well, i love sense, but i am porting the cm7 just so people have the choose, and also to make the development on this device more alive
But personally, Sense is the thing!

(please!!!) can sumone make some themes for our p6200/p6210????

i am sick of looking at this tab day in day out i cant take much more or its crappy touch wiz launcher and its ugly Samsung stock icons. their is only one person on this site actually working his ass off making a ICS theme and he still took the time to make us the first circle battery mod ever on the 7.0+!!!!
i myself have been looking in to making a stock honeycomb theme with some stock applications like the asus browser camera...etc i have even got the stock launcher working but it foreclosed adding widgets...it seem like their are only 2 or 3 people actually trying something here its pathetic i am becoming more and more frustrated every day i am even considering using my tab as a paper w8 of a roofing slate it got that bad. please anyone HELP ME!!!...
the over day i was talking to some devs working on the 10.1 g tab and i explained it is impossible right now for us to have custom ROM and the first thing they sed was why don't you just make a load of good themes and i replied their is only 1 theme available they were shocked...!! Hoooodlum a 10.1 g tab dev told me at first the 10.1 had issues with custom roms etc so they decided to make themes to compromise for the lack of modifications. WE NEED MORE THEMES AND LESS CHIT CHAT ON ER EVERYONE.

YOU CAN DO IT!!
lol, j/k I hear you, I agree.
I'm used to it though. My android devices were dell streak 5, dell streak 7 and this.
one developer, one rom and usally 2 themes. me and another guy. actually only me on DS7. give it a try, in the meantime, try posting in the android general, and explain our situation usually one or two people will bite and even offer to develop without the device!
not too much we can do.
we can always start [BOUNTY] threads to gdet people intersted.
not much longer we'll have ICS. but Im sure something will be broken with it.
Find me a nice theme, one Im interested or a good idea (something Im vaguely familiar with..) and get 3 other people to post they want it to. and I'll begin working on it. Deal?
