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.

Here is the froyo launcher2.apk from the G2 system dump. You must be rooted and uninstall stock launcher2 first via root explorer or titanium backup. I also suggest making a backup first. It runs smooth on my incredible. 7 home screens, 3D app drawer, etc. I figured i would make it easier for anyone who wants it. Just download then place on your SD Card and install. You do need to allow installation of apps from unknown sources in application settings first.
ONLY WORKS WITH AOSP ROMS

you need to long press the phone icon on the bar and when the menu pops up select "change shortcut" then select application and then click on phone and you should be good to go hope this helps you.
It's good tool. But I have only G7, hope yours can work correctly on my phone!
Thank you for sharing.
I've been looking forever for a stock froyo looking launcher that's more like the Nexus One. ADW is ok but I don't like the dock icons. The G2 launcher is perfect but I can't get the phone button to work on my Droid Incredible OTA 2.2 (Rooted). I've read through the post but havent seen any solution Long pressing on the phone button and changing the short cut doesn't work at all (read that in another post) SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!! I really like this launcher

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

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.

After an all-nighter, a day, and another all-nighter, I'm proud to present BioCharge; a touch of Bionic for your Charge. This is my first attempt at theming, and an attempt to port the Driod Bionic's UI to the Droid Charge.
NOTE! This theme is anywhere but done, however I consider it full enough to release a copy of it. Very few apps are themed and most apps included are only included for the icon. This theme is still very poopified and will be worked on casually by me over time.
What you need:
dwitherall's flashable EP4D + extras
The latest version of CWM
Bravery and backups
What's included:
A fully themed TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
A handful of icons for stock apps
AOSP Mms.apk (if you want the stock Mms.apk, make a backup of it before flashing)
A debloater in the install script (in case you left the bloat already or are flashing this over a fresh install)
What's to come:
More themed apps
I'll take requests, speak your mind!
Download here!
Screenshots!
Looks very good! Keep up the good work.
Sent from my mobile office.
thank you!
The theme looks great and I look forward to the next release.

I'm not sure. If you're feeling brave, make a backup and try it. I'd probably say no, since they're two different versions.

I just tryed to open my camera and it force closed.
To everyone getting FC's: do a fix permissions and see if that clears it up. The only part of Camera.apk I changed was the icon.
i just fixed permissions and im still getting FC's
could you possibly post a version that does not run the debloat script?
Thanks!
For the problem with the Camera app, you can go into the original zip file for the EP4D update and find the Camera.apk and Camerafirmware.apk and extract them to your SDCard, and then use root explorer to copy and paste both back into your system/app folder. Of course, you should use Titanium backup to uninstall both those files before you copy the new files over. I have both the files on hand, but I don't know if the rules of the forum restrict posting stock apks
Can't wait until this is done. Make Sam look like moto.

You could just download a rom that has it and extract the zip file. Pull the apk from system\app or whatever the directory is and find the right apk, then transfer over to your phone. Not sure if it will work tbh, but won't hurt anything to try.

This works, I added weapon's email.apk to bionix this way.
Awesome, got it to work. I used EB's music since it is from gingerbread. The ICS music player crashes constantly on ICS roms, pretty sure it works well on stock ICS phones...but not phones flashed with ICS.
Anyway, i disabled the music player included with the Hellfire ROM, so it doesnt show up in the app drawer any longer, also did this with other unnecessary items that i dont use...how do i enable them again if i ever want to? When looking for the apps i just disabled, i cant find them anywhere in the Manage Apps list or anywhere else.
Why didn't you just download the GB music app from the market. The one in the EB rom is not the newest player. Just do a google music search and it comes right up.

Well, if you looked at my previous post, the newest ICS player (with the headphones icon), doesn't run well on my phone.
It's a glitch with the ICS roms.
I'll give this one a shot, though.

I recently just flashed my first rom on my phone and I love it. The only thing I dont like is that its pretty much stock ICS. Problem being I don't like the calendar app and the clock app, the touchwiz version was much better IMO. I have an unzipped version of the stock rom but I can't even find the two in there to extract. I need some help.. :\
Anyone?
Use root explorer and look in the stock .zip system/app for twcalendar.apk, twcalendarwidget.apk and such. Copy and paste to your current system/app (change mount o to w first) and fix permissions after. I'm not sure exactly what else you may need but bear in mind that touchwiz widgets will only work on touchwiz. Make a nandroid backup first because I just gave you some shoddy-ass instructions.
