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

iphone

the iphone had only one feature that our phone doesn't have.I've seen screen shots if other phones with the feature and am wondering if we can get it....
the iphone had thebottom for icons that remain when you jump from screen to screen and is configurable. what is that called and do we have something like that?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

You can use shootme for screen shots and some ROMs like MIUI have it built in. And for the 4 icons that don't move alternative launchers like ADW and Launcher pro etc. have that and it wont movie when you move screen and you can change it to your needs

Miui is a rom that looks just like the iphone. it has the 4 icon dock. You can hold and drag the icons to change them up. Miui is a look alike of the ios.

Look at adw ex it has a second dockbar that can be used on any screen and is configurable.

thanks for the two replies...
i found them to be buggy and/or insufficient because i lost all the htc sense features. or maybe coredroid is that good of rom to make me not want to lose what i currently have.

I flashed a mod yesterday that gave me a transparent rosie and also keeps the dock at the bottom on all the home screens. Unfortunately it isn't customizable but it is a nice little add on.

standard practice is to make a Nandroid backup before you flash anything..you did that...right?

Luckily I also got the stock rosie to flash back. It should undo the mod but I haven't tried it myself cause I like the transparent look.

GingerBeast AOSP Lockscreen

Although I frequently switch back and forth between a lot of ROMs, I keep coming back to GingerBeast time and again, despite the fact that it's now unsupported. Frowny face.
Anyway, I'm looking for as stock an experience as I can have and would like to change the lockscreen from the default rotary interface to Google's sliding tab interface. I've done a lot of Google searching and read through the GingerBeast thread, but I'm posting here to ask to be pointed in the right direction before I bootloop my phone. Is the UOT kitchen the best place to accomplish this? Anyone have any other ideas? What files need to be modified? Anything at all you can provide would be appreciated.

I've tried widget locker, and it's a fantastic app, but it would have to sit and run in the background just to superficially change my lockscreen to something so basic, eating up cycles. That and I wouldn't even use half of its features.
By the way, fantastic contributions to Ninja! Definitely one of my favs.

If you like the Sense 3.0 lockscreen, you could try Agile Lock.

Iphone Lock Screen

Hey I was wondering whats the best way to replicate the iphone lock screen? Is it cm7 theme chooser?

You could try widgetlocker. It has the iPhone lock screen.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

There is an app somewhere that replicates the iphone lock screen. Used to use it on my old phone. So don't have the apk. Search a bit and you'll find it

I have, I am currently using widget locker, I've seen another app but apparently it won't scale. Correctly on the sensation, i didn't try it but saw. A. Comment from an. Evo. I'm guessing there's no. Cm7 themes?

Thanks anyway, I just wish we had a simple lock screen like iphone.

There is an Miui theme with that Lockscreen. And yes it scales correctly. I used it for some time. Other than that I'm out of ideas lol

Magiclocker also has a sweet Samsung puzzle lock theme as well

Banned. All of you.

What's wrong with you banana? I got an android device. For the a ability to customize it. I'm allowed to do what i want with it. If you're immature enough to not have the ability to resist pointless posts that have nothing to do. With the thread, you should be banned.
And I don't really like miui. The interface isn't functional to me. I like cm7. Just want a iphone lock screen. I'll try magic locker.

What about "Lock 2.0"? Haven't used it in forever (coincidentally, it was the first app I ever bought for Android - lol), but it was specifically made to have the iPhone style locking, as well as give it some personal flare.

Yea that's the one he's using. The screen is compressed and the slider bar is really long and skinny. I've tried it without any luck. I now use "no lock" and just hit any button and am on my main screen, I never really saw the use of pressing a button just to do another task..

I do this, except I use a passcode. I just wish android/cm7 will release a lockscreen I like. Rotary did it for me for a while, but it become almost too complicated for me. I didn't like that if I used it to change the sound, i have to wait for the thing to finish rotating. I just want something I slide and it unlocks, but the default sliding tabs in my opinion are ugly. I liked sense's lockscreen, but the cm7 replication doesn't do it for me. looks too... circular

Widget Locker is what you're looking for

PyroIce Tips, Tricks, and Help Guide. -Please Post Your Own Too :D-

I've made PyroIce my new Daily, and we all know it has some bugs. So I thought I'd start a thread to help Unclutter the fourm.
Here's the first thing I've found out.
- Wi-Fi Networks that are WEP/PSK locked can be connected to without having to Manualy put the name in.

Nova Launcher is a Great ICS Replacement Launcher. It can be downloaded from the Market. Or found on XDA as a flashable Zip. That makes it a system app, and allows widgets to be accessed from the launcher.
It has homescreen effects, drawer effects. Custom Grid Sizes, and all widgets are resizeable. Its the ADW of ICS, and is better than CM9's Launcher for 4.0.1.

I want to install this on my wife's phone, but she has no appreciation for the great work being done here. I would rather not put something on her phone that is going to cause me grief.
Also, is the user interface the same?

to be honest, its a great rom. for people that know how to deal with beta roms. if your lookin for a grief free rom, id use another one. i use this but i dont mind the small issues and can deal with them. the user interface is ICS, so the same as ICS yeah? same and gingerbread.. no, lil different. more user friendly i think.

New release is wifey friendly... I think mine could handle it and she has to gripe for a couple months b4 she asks me to root her phone....

rom the truth is a spectacular friend and has some little problems sierto but you can live with them apart is one of the few developers for our phone and that is to applaud and thank you

Good, the only reason I won't root my girls phone is cause I don't wanna fix it.
Does anyone know if you can unlink the notification volume and ringer volume in ICS?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk

first off, i think this rom is simply great, considering that ics is on very few devices right now, and that our phone is a bit slow in general with development (nothing against all the devs on this phone, cuz what they have made are all really good)
two questions:
does anyone know why the camcorder app is limited to 720p recording? it's definitely not a big issue, but this camera is considered to be one of the best, seems like a shame to waste it.
also, any way to fix the htc dialer showing up in the call and to answer a call you have to unlock first?
how's everyone's battery life doing? mine's much better than when i had cm7 on it

I was looking at 1080p but for some strange reason libstagefright camerasource detects that 1080p is not available. Coudlnt binary hack that, and no idea why that happens.
You can use fullscreen caller id to let you receive calls without unlocking, or can use widgetlocker from market with security set off.

gotcha ill switch over to the non sense version now, thanks for the quick reply.

Posting here because I'm still a "New" user and cant post in dev form.
I'm running PyroIce Sense and I cant view any flash websites. Anyone else having this problem? I've tried re-installing Flash, Dolphin (wont work on stock browser as well), and reflashed the rom.
Any ideas?

If i enter full screen browser hangs. if i zoom in, it will play, but it's very choppy with elements of my wallpaper mixed in, sometimes it's the notifications bar that draws itself into the flash. It's very odd.
