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

page turning transition?

hey guys.
I while back I saw this video...i think on youtube. in it the rom had a transition where it looked like you were turning a page when changing screens.
following a thread on here I learned how to extract the transitions from a theme and insert it to my own.
I've been searching for this transition and can't find it. anyone know what rom has it? or of another similar kind of transition?
thanks!

I think u might be talking about the liquid rom and if so its only the lock screen that has that kind of animation and nobody has been able to port it to another rom.

thanks. i'll check it out and see if thats the right one. somehow though I think the liquid rom is too new to have been the video I saw?
I'll update when I check it out!

anyone know of a similar transition that can be implemented without having to switch launchers?

Try multi picture live wallpaper in the market. It doesn't have the page animations like you want but there is several others that are nice to try. If you set the settings up right it will look nice.

[Q] G2x + Sense 3.0 features ... is that even possible ?

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if some of the sense 3.0 widgets can be developed for G2x?? Atleast the sense 3.0 lock screen. Is it anyway possible or on the cards or should i stop dreaming ??

Its great to dream, but in this case you should stop dreaming. The G2x and sense roms has 2 different framework so it will never work and even if it could it would take tons of modding that wouldn't be worth the trouble. Its similar to trying to put a Ferrari body on a Mercedes chassis.

There's a app called "Go To Lockscreen" and it pretty much gives you the features of the Sense lock screen. Its a good app.

im not sure if you wanted sense for the same reason i did. i wanted sense for the dialer + messaging client. althought we probably wont get the sense dialer, there is an app called GO Dialer, and GO Sms that is similar to the sense applications. Stock android dialer SUCKS! anyways hope this helps

The lock screen, dialer, messaging client and contacts client are the only good things about Sense. The vanilla clients are boring with less features. What's cool about the Sense contacts client is that contact pictures are just there with no loading. The vanilla contact client lags a little bit and there is a delay in showing the pictures.

Sense has some neat stuff but most of it is cosmetic.
Launcher Pro already has some Sense-like widgets built in and are themeable. They look like Sense out of the box. You can also customize Launcher Pro's dock bar to match any version of Sense.
Go Dialer and Go SMS are popular because you can theme them to look like whatever you want. I've also used "Dialer One" which was a "HTC SENSE Dialer" Clone at one time. I think they've went down their own path since but still has the same great functionality.
Moral of the story, you can make you phone look and feel like a Stock-Sense rom without having the stock-sense rom.
And I think they're porting Sense over in the O2x forums (directed at the second poster). MIUI, Sense, and CM7 are the 3 roms that should be ported to every phone. Completely do-able though. Nexus One has all 3.... but maybe I was spoiled.

It was possible on my hd2 windows phone. So I would say yes, it is possible. That phone had a much bigger following so I will not say it is propable.

as things have been said, launcherpro, GoTo LockScreen, things like that can give the customized feeling of not being on stock android...

I think the problem is we are on a LG phone trying to port a HTC client, Samsung Galaxy series never got it to work fully, just my opinion. I am not saying it is not possible, I am one that loves options and would like to see it happen though.

You can find software that looks like Sense such as Go Messenger but there is no contacts client out there with the deep integration/features you get with Sense. The Contacts Client is the only thing I like about HTC and I have yet to see one done better. Just ain't going to happen.

Smh it is being worked on in the o2x forums therefore eventually it will make its way here... just give it time.

Stock android Dialer and Contacts app?

I just got the sensation today. (I'm coming from nexus one running cyanogenmod). There's really only a few things about sense 3.0 that I like. The camera app, the lockscreen, some of the widgets, and the quick notification widgets (although I like cm7's implimentation MUCH better). Anyways I'm hoping that once the bootloader gets unlocked we'll be able to get cyanogenmod on it, but until then is it possible to get a few stock apps on the sensation?
The only things from sense I'd maybe like to keep in a more "stock rom" would be the camera app and the lockscreen. Everything else I don't really care for. =\
I want the these apps.
* Dailer
* Contacts
* Gallery

U don't like the smart dialer? It's leagues better than the stock dialer...

I made the same transition as you. At first I hated the dialer and contacts, but they've grown on me.
However that gallery does suck total nuts. You can go in the market and download gallery 3d which is (as far as i can tell) the standard gallery you're used to. I'm using it and it feels right at home.
I absolutely can't wait until we can have CM7.1 on this thing.
Also.. is it just me... or are you totally missing the trackball? I keep trying to adjust the cursor with it when editing text just to get disappointed that it's not there...

No...I hate it. I've accidentally called the wrong person already because it doesn't ask if I want to call. Also it isn't showing contacts pictures when calling? Wtf? It just looks ugly to me compared to the stock android dialer. The contacts app is worse. AOSP contact app is so much simpler looking and just all around better.

I hate the gallery app, it sucks so much. Also i've taken a few pics that auto upload to google+ and it shows the date it was taken as jan 1st 1970. WHatttt?
I've only had it for 8 hours so far, and i've already done that at least a dozen times. I used the trackball just for going back a little to make corrections. Going to take a bit to get use to, but in time I will.
I can't wait for CM7.1 on the sensation. Sense to me is just ugly. I like gingerbread's status bar, and the notification widgets in cyanogenmod so much better than sense...It's ugly. Also I don't see the point of putting the recent apps in the pull down bar....
Good thing for launcherpro plus

I am also hunting for the AOSP style dialer...initially when the MT4G came out and was rooted you could just push the contacts/dialer apk to system/app and change the permissions and it would work. I have had no such luck with the Perma-Temp root on the Sensation...

I'm in the same boat here and can't stand the dialer or gallery. Thanks for the tip on Gallery 3d Picked this phone up because it looks and feels just like a larger faster version of the N1 and I figure it will be rooted sooner or later.

The stock Gallery and stock Email
Both work,pm me if you want a copy of them

I guess it just comes down to what you're use to. I'm use to the 3d gallery because I've had the n1 since launch. I'm trying out quick pic though. Anything is better than the gallery app on the sensation. Sense really has left me a bit underwhelmed. The only things i'd want to keep from sense is the lockscreen and the camera app.

your right. I had n1 at launch too. I wanted to like the gallery cause it looked cool, but didn't function that well. Plenty times I has to reboot just for a pic I just took to show. I found Quick pic and been using it since

Lol @ that 3D gallery. I hated it on my MT4G and this gallery is cool IMO. Didn't like Touch Wiz on the Vibrant or Sense on the MT4G........flashed a 3.0 rom and loved it. So I bought a Sensation. I'm just curious to know why buy something you already know you don't like? To each their own.

Does anyone know of a flash-able

I love the colors and layout but with the inconsistent signal levels I cant use the ROM.
(T-Mobile signals are EXTREMELY low in my area)
Thanks

Sorry I didn't see this sooner Joe. I'm not sure if it could be done....by me, anyway. Avatar's themes are MIUI based that have been altered to run on a jellybean framework. I'm not sure if that's done thru the ROM's framework itself or whether it is embedded in the "theme.apk" file. It's just something I will have to look into for you. I'll be happy to take a look as soon as I'm not in the middle of trying to get another port out there to you guys. If you're curious though you can Google Rootbox 4.2.2 and see what I'm trying to make cooperate for us.....

i think you can use baooka launcher on any jellybean rom and there are tons of themes for it. i beleive the themes are only tied into the launcher and not so much the system

Thank you both Matt and Steve, I'm on my way to Google both of the suggestions:thumbup::beer:

GREAT! I know they're altered MIUI but I didn't realize it was contained in the launcher. Dang if that doesn't give me an idea or two. LOL
.....More than welcome Joe.

Matt, that is the ticket! Installed bazooka launcher, downloaded the themes and they carried over when I switched between Nova, Trebuchet or any other launcher! FANTASTIC! thank you!:beer::thumbup:
