[Q] [SHOWCASE] App drawer in touchwiz? - Samsung Mesmerize

Am I missing how to make app drawers in touchwiz on my showcase? I know you can make folders on the home page but is there anyway to make app drawers in the applications menu?

If your using the stock touchwiz launcher and it is anything like the Mesmerize then no. I couldn't find a way to create folders or groups in the app drawer. Now the new touchwiz has the ability to do folders in the app drawer. I think it is touchwiz 4.0 but I may be wrong on that.
Tap-a-Talked from my Mesmerize

Can you get touchwiz 4 yet?

Yeah I saw it on XDA somewhere. Can't remember right off. Try a search for it. Should turn up for ya.

Here ya go. http://db.tt/OZcJ94V. That's the apk
Tap-a-Talked from my Mesmerize

Awesome! Thanks, cant wait to try it!

It wont install. Any ideas?
EDIT: After much Googling I still am nowhere but it looks like 2.2.3 is required..?

Yeah. You may have to move it to the system/app folder but I do think you may need to be on froyo to do that. You will need root explorer to move it. But I think you need to be on a rooter deodexed ROM to make that work. May consider heinz 57. It has a version with touchwiz 4 already installed. Also has version for showcase.

Ive got froyo with PnP v1.0. Ill try moving it and running it and if that doesnt work ill look into heinz57, Thanks

Search for touchwiz 4.5, its by frogger here on xda, there is a zip you flash from recovery, it works great.

Touchwiz is about as cool as Nancy Grace naked. Just use a different launcher; GO Launcher, ADW Launcher, Launcher Pro, Jesus Launcher, Incest Sisters Launcher, etc.

I ended up opening up the heinz57 flash and replacing Mr home with twlauncher4.5 then flashing it and I gotta say I hated tw3 but am in total love with 4.5.
Thanks all for help!

[REQUEST] Default theme for Froyo Beta4 by Z

I've searched the whole forum, I swear I haven't seen a thread like this yet. Anyone have the theme? Please share if you do!
what is a default theme anyway!

A default theme is what it would look like after a fresh install
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
the default theme, if i'm not wrong, is the android stock theme. which is the one, in my opinion, every rom should include as default, or at least, as an option (cm 6.1.3 from wolfbreak is awesome, but i don't like the theme)
i think you can get it reflashing the rom

Why don't you just extract the framework from beta 4 and use it on wolfs cm6.1.3
Or install beta 4 and add Cm settings, then add apps etc from wolfs rom?
Just a thought
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Thanks for the reply guys. Maybe I should have been more specific. I'm currently using Z's freeX10 beta 4 and the thing is I don't want to reflash every thing or else I'd need to customize everything back to the way it is. Too time consuming haha. Basically I want it because when I installed another theme before, some aspects of the theme remained on my phone even though I installed another theme. I'm not sure how to get rid of them, so I was hoping the default theme would get rid of them. I'll attach pictures to this post in a few minutes to show you what I mean. And yeah, I did try to extract the framework from the beta 4 but i failed miserably, It didn't let me install it through recovery
EDIT: attached pictures from phone. basically I really hate that youtube icon and I wanna get rid of it and revert it back to the normal one.
You wont be able to install framework through xrecovery, you would have to swap it using root explorer and change permissions, reboot then it should be fine
But make sure you copy the framework that was on before just in case anything happens, and/or backup using xrecovery for safety

Hello everyone! Here is something new for you all to play with. This is the TouchWiz 4.0 Launcher on the SGSII for KC1 and KD1. THIS WILL ONLY WORK WITH MY DEODEXED BUILDS. Download the respective zip for your build and flash through clockworm mod recovery (you read me right!). The KC1 version CAN be flashed over the lockscreen mod from my other thread.
This is a port of fr4gg0r's modified launcher with customizable options from this thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883

Oh, so to install this i would just have to put it in root of sd, then go to flash from sd, choose and flash it? ( do i need to wipe anything?)
Awesome job Whitehawkx!
Flashed with cwm and running fine. I like this version of tw much better. It's less Iphoney--It doesn't have those colored boxes behind the app icons in the app drawer. It also seems to be pretty snappy.
I will probably use this for my main launcher which I am surprised to say about a version of TW...lol. Great job on this!
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
Download to sdcard and then boot into cwm and look for install zip from sdcard, not the flash update.zip option. U will see your sdcard file layout find the file u downloaded and install. Hope this helps. Also when u reboot hit home and go to preferences and uncheck Landscape. It was causing force close on me everytime.

Is anyone who flashed this having an issue where the phone reboots by itself? I'm using KD1.
It's either this or the new CW mod. Andi can't seem to figure out what is causing it.

Touchwiz 4.5 ***EDITED. PLEASE READ EDIT****

Just in case some were not aware, but, Touchwiz works pretty darn well on the GB infused ROM.
Link----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883
I downloaded his TW4 Manager and used the update feature in it to install the touchwiz but I didn't know that it would replace my current. When I did that, and tried to use the default msg app, touchwiz force closes every time you start doing something. So to fix that, I uninstalled TW4 Manager and went to system/app in root explorer and deleted the extra name it added to TouchWiz30Launcher.apk, and then it didnt force close anymore. I don't know if anyone else will have this problem but theres my fix for it.
*********EDIT*********
Some people are getting force closes and most is my fault for incorrectly giving instructions. Sorry.
A way to do it is just rename touchwizlauncher30.apk to something that would change its file extension. Like adding a letter after the .apk and then going to applications/manage applications in the setting then go to all and make sure you have all apps named touch wiz uninstalled and then go to the touchwiz site and just download the basic apk. Not touchwizmanager but just touchwiz4.apk or whatever the correct name is and copy it to system/apps and the click it and install it while still in the folder. Ultimatly, I ditched touch wiz 4 because it was causing my phone to reboot randomly when something was using too much resources. Make sure you have a back up launcher installed like go launcher or something in case you don't like touchwiz and decide to uninstall it from apps/manage apps/all because you wouldn't have a launcher left to do anything. If you want your original touchwiz back just go to system/apps and remove the extra things you added and make sure it says TouchWiz30Launcher.apk I'm not entirely sure if that last part about getting original touchwiz back would work since I ditched it too and just use go launcher but it should in theory work. Sorry for the inconvenience peoples.
*********EDIT*********
Another way to possibly install it without getting force closes would be to just download the TW4Launcher.apk and just copy it to system/app
I find this alot less laggy than the touchwiz that came with Infused V2. Hope yall like it as much as me.
TL;DR ---> READ THE WHOLE THING

Not really sure about this. I checked TWManager for the SGS2 widgets and it was empty. SGS1 widgets were there though.. Maybe he pulled them out or something for editing I guess.
I hope someone can figure it out or he tells us how he got them to work. That was the only reason I downloaded tw launcher 4.5

Sorry for my dumb question but what widgets are that good? I haven't bothered to check the sgs2 out as I'm pretty satisfied with my infuse
Loving tw 4.5, coupled with gtg's rom and bedwa's kernel it is very snappy. Launcher pro still is a bit more customizable, but tw looks cleaner and more sharp.
Infused with gingerbread **** thanks GTG465X
This also works well on Indused v1 Froyo. As for the widgets, I searched the Galaxy S (I9000) Themes and Apps forum. I've got 10 widgets from the SGS II. They all install, but some of them don't fuction completely. Don't know how I could share them here.

TW4 launcher and ssgii widgets
Ok here are the links for everything you need to get ssg2 widgets to work.
Download the the TW4.zip and flash via CWM this will flash TW4 and ssgii widgets. This will give you that simple looking clock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14907138&postcount=549
Download this zip file from here http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=444&t=207696 This contains the weather widget. Everything else in that zip is useless. Unless you want to use them.
and use this mirror http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WKTF4Q90 The other ones are ****e.
Using a file manager of some sort ie esfile explorer or root explorer. Extract the gs2app.zip and pull this file out "SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk.zip" and pull that file within that zip and place it into system/app
That should do it. Instructions are pretty straight forward.
Please hit 'thanks' if this has helped at all.
You are amazing! Thanks so much!!!!

You should flash the tw4.zip in CWM. That will install both touchwiz4 and some of the sgs2 widgets. Then use tw4 manager to update to the latest stable build. And enjoy.

How do I get wallpaper from gtg's Infused rom

Hi everyone. I've been reading around xda for quite a while and would first like to say thanks to all the great devs and others on here who have really helped to make the infuse an even better phone. Ok so this is my first post so I hope I have the right section. My question: is it possible to pull the sgs2 wallpaper pack from gtg's Infused rom? I've searched everywhere and can't find a wallpaper pack like it. I'm trying to complete my sgs2 look on my infuse with CM7 and wizmod2 theme. Thanks for any help!
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
Try searching for the wallpapers in the rom zip. Normal locations are the framework apk if its just one. Or a separate folder in the ROM if they are multiple.

Yes, but only selective apps. You may, but should be careful with the android build version. Some apps are compiled from sources, and those might not be compatible when taken from one ROM to another. But others, like add on apps, can be taken.

You can use tw4.5 which is a modded version for any phone but I've found it to be buggy. there is also a framework mod that can be done to get it all working. I'm actually gonna play with that tonight.

I think the tree structure within framework.jar is a bit different but it may still work, I still haven't tested it, I got distracted. you can use apk tool or smali to decompile it, baksmali or apk tool to compiled it.
I don't mess with apk manager because it tries to do to much for you and isn't really useful because the apps don't usually work when you are done, you wind up having to pull files from the Finnished apk and dropping them in a copy of the original because the signing doesn't work with system apps.

Thanks you guys. I went ahead and bought BOTH Apex, and Nova.... and now I cant decide the between the two. They both seem virtually the same. (some say they are, since the recent nova update) I just cant decide which is best. I need to, because I'm going to put it in my ROM's zip to flash and make it a system launcher so it's locked and doesn't take up as much resources.
You know you can convert it to system with titanium backup right? I keep a backup that is not a system file then convert after upgrading. That way I can update when Im away from the computer.
