I found these somewhere...i forgot where, but they work well on the hero. ill post them here.
i do have a question tho and hopefully the XDA community (You Guys) can help me out.
in both of the touchwiz apk's i have, the default screen is the first fine, im fine with that, but is there a touchwiz for our phones that have the default screen as the middle screen (like the epic)
what's so special about the touchwiz? What features does it have over launcher pro?
it's just for people who maybe wanted to try touchwiz, like me. Its kinda nice and I haven't noticed a lag

Isn't there a setting for default screen? I seem to remember this,setting hidden somewhere in the touchwiz settings.
from the mobile me
I didn't see an option like that. If u see that option then let me know

i think touchwiz looks like a ****ty iphone ripoff. OP thanks for posting but ill stick to AWD.
Samsung widgets r empty cuz we don't have any installed, and even if we could install them I doubt it'd show up. I do agree this is a rip off of iPhone, many others have said that, but I thought this would be nice to share. If u stick to adw or launcherpro, I understand (I'm using launcherpro plus, there is no lag in the latest update)

I would not mind it if it had calendar and bookmark widgets

Can this apk be installed over any Sprint 2.1 ROM (currently running fresh 2.4)?
for droid eris users the first touchwiz apk works just tried it on cyanogen tazz
This is kinda out of place in the Hero forum, but I installed the first one on my Samsung Intercept, and it works great!
It would be nice to see this touchwiz port get fleshed out throughout the OS; messaging and sounds and the whole nine
I'm looking to do a blogpost for my site on the best alternative home screen apps. Now, what I mean by that is not things like aHome and LauncherPro, which just tweak and enhance the Android homescreen experience.
I'm looking more for totally different experiences. I already know about SlideScreen and *Spark. Any others?
Thanks a bunch!
Im using Go Launcher right now... coming from Launcher Pro Plus and ADW Launcher EX!
Net front screens is one though a bit laggy sometimes its a brilliant concept

Heh, I was just going to suggest metro UI and Net front as well . Just discovered net front yesterday, really cool, but a bit too laggy to use on a consistent basis. Hope they improve sometime. Their browser app is fantastic though.
Hoping SPB UI comes for android some time soon, that's really unique:

Ok, just on a personal level... THANK YOU for MetroUI!!!! I've been looking for this! Keep the suggestions coming!
SweeterHome ( http://www.sweeterhome.com/ )
I've used SweeterHome for months, nothing else even comes close. It's the most customizable one out there, although it's still in Beta. The only downsides are that it takes some experimenting to find what's possible, and since it's not on the market you have to install the APK manually.
All the screenshots on the homepage are designs users have made. They're done through touch-and-drag on the phone itself, there's no language or anything you have to learn to set it up.
Gonna bump this. Just need a few more.
Zeam Launcher. Aims to be small and light, but has lots of features.
Thanks a lot guys! I'd love to post the link, but apparently I can't yet. LOVE posting restrictions...
Google "Tech Made Relevant" and you'll find it though...
I'm using GDE..
So... are things like ADW and LauncherPro count as alternative home screen replacements? I'm not sure I'm getting this.
Using Launcher Pro Plus at the moment. Tried Go Launcher Ex, but I missed the Launcher Pro FB/Calendar widget which Go Launcher Ex or any other launcher didn't provide.
Let me know if you do know other launcher that have FB/Calendar/Twitter widgets.
Cheers.

They are home screen replacements. But I was going specifically for things that are a totally different experience than what stock Android, which is what Launcher Pro, GO Launcher, etc. are.
Looking for some Launcher ideas, I've tried a few and have found good and bad on each. But id like to know what kind of experiences others could share.
Here's what I've tried so far:
ADW Ex , use it on my D2G and love the themes but kept FCing on My Tab
Go Launcher, Tryed and it worked well but couldn't resize to fit more icons and widgets on the screen, loved the built in task manager tho.
Tryed Zeam, worked well but no themes and seem like support has dried up.
Haven't Tried Launcher Pro on my tab yet, used to use it before adw ex but switched after hearing something about a complete rewrite.
Any other's that could be reccommended.
I'm kinda looking to have my cake and eat it too. I love to customize but I'm looking for lean speed and preformance.
Thanks in advance,

I very from adwex to aluncher pro, pretty much because of the LP Widgets and the themeing you van do with them, I hate the dock in LP but oh well
swyped from a galaxy far far away...
no rewrite for lp yet http://www.launcherpro.com/2011/03/28/launcherpro-v0-8-4-now-available/
For me, Launcher Pro is the most perfect Launcher!!
I use it on my SGS and SGT....
Hi
2 new update last time, it made my Tab many freezed when using!!
Thanks for the feedback, I gave launcher pro another go and remembered why I tried adw to begin with. Although it was very smooth I didn't like that I couldn't resize the widgets w/o paying for pro plus. I don't mind paying to support the developer, but I can't just buy a unlock through the android market. I don't like purchasing outside the market.
So, it looks like I'm back to ADWex and dealing with the FC's
I'll probably fiddle with the settings a bit and see if I can get the FC's down.
Thanks for the feedback again guys.

I'd suggest ADW EX or GO Launcher EX. GO always annoyed me before because the screen previews never fitted the screen proper but since its been fixed I quite like it. Still prefer ADW though.

I am using virusrom airborn senseless. I also purchased launcher pro plus to use with it and downloaded a theme but when I go to the preferences menu and select a widget it doesn't give me the option to skin it. I do have launcher pro 8.4 and I can use a stock widget without it prompting me to "buy" the pro version now but still, no skinning options. I also dont have the people widget. I have searched all over to figure out what I am doing wrong but forgive me if this has an obvious fix because somehow I am missing something. I also just rooted my thunderbolt 2 days ago for the first time and this is all new to me but so far I have managed to not mess anything up even with trying new roms and kernels etc! LOL! So please speek idiot to me! Thanks!

You have to be on 8.5 pro to use the LP Pro Widgets and skin them. You can download the unlock key in the market or order it on fede's site. Themes are available on the market and various places online. Some are free, some are not...

Oh! OK! That would make sense then! I'll try that!
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Well, that's not the answer. I did download it from his site and I just downloaded the 8.5 version from his site and it won't install. It has to do withvthe fact that airborne has a custom launcher pro on it I think. So I think my question has changed to is there a way around this? I have even tried downloading another launcher and uninstalling launcher pro with an uninstaller to no avail.

Uugh 3 more posts and I can ask this in the right forum... OK no more post count boosting replies! LOL!
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Did you buy the pro version? Because that's what you need to do to use skins.
Sorry, I'm going to spam my own thread twice. I'll add something that actually counts as a post though... LOL! I'm thinking I can't do it because of the themed version of launcher pro. I really want pink Widgets though... :-(

Yes. I did but it doesn't give me the option of upgrading to 8.5... There. I think that's 10 posts!

If you post this in developement it will get moved here. Developement threads are only for actual developement issues. This wouldn't be considered a developement issue.
I have used launcher pro plus and after eading your post again, you cannot skin things with it. When you apply a theme, the theme will change what it is meant to change(whatever the developer programmed it too) but you cant do any more than that. If you want to skin widgets and change their look/color. You will need a deoxed rom and/or a program that give you the ability to skin or create custom widgets and app icons.
As for the people widget, that is available with the pro plus version (why u cant access it is wierd) so you will have to ask the developer about that.
To anyone here, if Im wrong about any of this, please correct me..
Yeah, I figured that out so I didn't do it. Not trying to be a rule breaker, this is just bugging me. I think the only thing I can do is hope someone will create a more feminine theme for this rom or figure out how to do it myself!
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
You can ask the rom dev if it is possible to get a more femenine themed version.

Thanks for the explanation. I am going to give up I guess with this train of thought and maybe there will be more themes created. Its just that it seems there are mostly men on here and you all create MANLY themes! ;-D

Try this, I'm not 100% sure I'm getting your whole picture but lets try something. download adw launcher. once that is installed tap your menu and choose the adw launcher. once that comes up and your using that. get and use titanium backup and remove the launcher pro launcher which should be part of your rom. once all traces of lpp is gone. reboot. NOW go to the market and download launcher pro and apply your key. you should now be able to modify lpp to your liking and install any theme you might like. To apply the themes to the widgets I believe you need to go to menu-preferences-LP widget settings-select EACH widget you want to theme and hit select skin and choose the one you want. Of course this is after installing them widget themes. Hope this helps you alone.
I know it's a bit much to ask and probably won't be around for a while, i'm positive there are people interested in it just as much as me as i'm currently "ICS pimping" my phone out but due to my locked boot loader and fastboot not working due to 02 sim lock (and not having the persuasion or the trust to do it via online no offence due to the costs..) i can't get cm7 running and using that ICS theme i was wondering if anyone could make this ?
With widget locker you can mimic the lockscreen now.
Oh i have the wallpapers, the widget locker and using the ICS clone, the default UI sounds , the ringtones and notifications ripped from the Galaxy Nexus, launcher pro icons theme, the google widget and the clock widget, oh and the market update the google music app update and the google+ update from 4.0
i'm getting there lmao
Couldn't you just switch to ADW or Go Launcher and use one of their ICS themes?

no, because i already have that done read my previous comment, i'm talking about a theme the way the Galaxy S II theme got ported to this rom, re-themeing the stock status bar, apps framework, system UI etc.
It's a bit much to ask but i'm sure someone will do it soon enough if they have the interest

Why not try porting the theme yourself you can edit framework and systemui without needing to decompile so shouldnt be too hard
trust me it attempted it before and i ended up bricking my phone, don't ask probz didn't give it correct permissions , being a uni student leaves me little time to focus on things like that 9:00 A.M. and i'm up to my neck in coursework lol.
