TouchWiz For HTC HERO!

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

Custom lockscreens?

I've been seeing screens with these custom lockscreens. How do I go about getting some of these? Do I have to create them myself? Sorry if I sound like a total newbie. I'm probably gonna be stuck with my Hero for another year because of Sprint's changes. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Most people use widget locker in order to get a custom lock screen. It's a paid app though.

I'm on my phone at work right now, so I can't search for any links. But currently I'm running aospCmod 3/26. If you could post different lockscreens with screens that would be great. I'm just getting bored with the vanilla lockscreen. Thanks om advance for any help.

Just saw an app I think called simply lockscreen in android development and hacking/apps and themes section I believe. In the market too I think. Ill try to get a link. Don't know if it's what u want but it's worth looking at

now if you just want an alternate lockscreen there is a few lockbot is the best but i will say its very laggy and half the time your system lockscreen overrides it

I really just want something that actually replaces the stock screen. Whenever up tried using lockscreen apps they tend to be buggy and... like you said, the stock screen overrides the app. I just want something flashable that overrides the stock screen, not the other way around.
I haven't had time to search for anything but will try tomorrow.

I've not seen any actual lock screen replacements. Cm7 has about 5 different styles but i haven't seen any replacement lock screens in a while since everyone was putting vanilla lock screens on sense
¿dpeeps74?

word, using widget locker is legit, paid for app but its great!! I have 3 different widgets on the screen and it's only not worked like once but i think it was a phone issue not the actual program.

[Q] This should go in development but too new to post RE: Launcher Pro plus themes?

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!

Send an email to the launcherpro plus dev through the market.

Alright, email sent but I am not so sure its the app. I think its something I am doing.... When I can I will post this in the airborne thread where it belongs.

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...
Sent from my Xoom

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... :-(
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

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

Have you tried the theme
"LauncherPro s23 Honeycomb-Pink" its in the market for free
check here as well

Nope, didn't see it. What I REALLY want is a hot pink version of the blue airborne theme! I'd even be willing to pay for someone to do it for me if anyone can and wants to! LOL!

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.

Very cool.
I don't know if we can credit you with this discovery because, logically, it's a launcher apk that (with the 4.5 modifications) has been known to work anywhere. But still... I"ve been looking into theming my phone as much as possible, and this UI proves it's doable.

A heads-up to people who don't know about HeLauncher (mentioned a couple threads down anyway) or LauncherPro's Sense Mod.

Are there any other mods or custom roms anyone knows of that'll work for the Triumph?

No credit needed i had nothing to do with this besides trying to install it and alerting others that they could use it. I'm just happy to help cross reference XDA. I really don't like using the touchwiz interface anyway i prefer launcherpro plus. I know that some people do like touchwiz though so i figured i'd post it in this very slim section of the forum.

tried it but acted weird in my phone,dunno why but ill reinstall and see if it fixes it.

It barely works, dragging items or widgets on desktop causes it to restart or crash. Uninstalled

Bestest Launcher....
IMHO.....is Regina Launcher......FTW!!!

Replace Sense Contacts/dialer with AOSP help.

I want to try and replace the sense contacts with the aosp contacts to try and fix this issue. While i'm searching the forums and poking around in roms, removing and replacing apps to try and figure this out on my own, i thought maybe if somebody knew for sure if this would or would not work they could chime in. If it will work i need to know what files to remove and what files to add. Thanks in advance!

I don't have the skill needed, but the only sense ROM I have found with aokp dialer is Paul O'Brien's MCR ROM. I am pretty sure it involves some framework changes, hope you get this fixed up, would definitely use it.

Also, you may want to check ex dialer, it saves directly to Google... plus it has some sweet add ons

yeah just used his kitchen to make a rom without the sense dialer and contacts, adding the others. Its almost done now. hopefully it'll be as easy as removing and replacing a couple of apks.. probably not if it requires framework changes though
So ex dialer is good eh? i wanted to try without going third party first but i am down if it is highly recommended.

Ex dialer and dialer one are my favorite alternatives

I am new to third party dialers, but I despise HTC's smartdial, but ex dialer seems like an option, plus it has sweet action like slide to call/txt ala Samsung Touch with, pretty sweet

hi, did you get this to work? I'm also interested in replacing the sense dialer.

Has anyone tried adding in the apk to the system folder and trying it that way? (And of course fixing permissions to rw r r.)
