Ok ive been really looking into all the new galaxy s phones and ive fallin in love with the ui mainly the launcher, so i looked around and found a few apks for the launcher, but i guess the resolutions where all off, i pretty much gave up with out hope, but i was scanning around on here and seen a comment tht a guy was running it on his eris and i was thinking the screens were around the same size and all so i got the apk and tried it, it works perfectly scrolling is very smooth i am not sure if this will work with donut roms but i know it works perfect with froyo. i possibly just gave you guys all info you already kno but im new to xda and figured its about time to post maybe help some people out.. i also have a question where do i find the spot where i put my phone and what rom spl and all that at? like you guys have it at the bottom of every post and comment.
Due to me being a new user i cannot post links yet and im tethering from my g1 to post this so it would take forever to upload but go to 4shared and search this TW3Launcher_i9000-kenshin-upd02.01

The answer to your question about how to put your phone information etc. you have to go to USER CP and click edit signature. There you can put your phone info and what ever else you want to put there.
now we have to get the samsung widget, resized to mdpi

thank you for sharing, but got a FC when pressing MENU...
Any pictures? This might be bumping an old thread. :/
No force closes yet
is there any way to have the sumsung widgets??
Samsung Widgets would be great to have...
Specially from the Galaxy S2
Yes, I know there are apps and widgets that can do this, however, Seeing as I've never coded them in before, is there a guide that shows me what to look for anywhere? I've searched to hell and back, and nothing.
These will be going into Bionix2 so would like to learn how to do these.

That doesn't really answer your question though, sorry
Could have sworn untermensch wrote up a guide for lockscreens to go with his power menu guide, but can't find it. All I can suggest is to download one of his lockscreen mods, then download the stock rom it was based on, decompile both and make comparisons.

+1 for widgetlocker.
I picked it up a couple days ago and like it quite a bit. It isn't free but I feel it is one of a few apps worth paying for. My goal was to put a battery indicator on the lock screen so I didn't have to unlock the phone to check the battery. You can do that and so much more. It does not add a lock screen so you have to unlock the phone twice like some of the free ones did either. It just works.
It sounds like you may want to code your own app? I would try to contact the devs of some of the better lock screens out there and see if you can get some help.
I have a couple of old bookmarks back when s0niqu3 and untermensch were trying to get the Fascinate lockscreen on the Vibrant. Can't post links but maybe one of these will point you in the right direction

Next is root your phone and decide if you want to place a custom Rom on your device.
If you want to place a custom Rom - just read the development section for a few days until you get a feel for what going on -then proceed from there..
I was thinking of that, I rooted my lasnt android, and it gave me major problems, lose all contacts, camera not work, bootloop etc...
Sent from amazingly huge Samsung Infuse.
Rooting can *lead* to problems but not actually *cause* problems. Only improper flashing and modding can lead to issues. Good news for you though - rooting is not required to get enjoyment out of your device. I should know. I didn't root my Infuse for the first month I had it. I just didn't see the need to do so.
So, what exactly is it that you're trying to do?
Just make it the most enjoyable and personal as it can get. Im gonna end up rooting it eventually. But not now.

Download Appbrain from the market. It's free. You can see popular apps of the day (I almost always find at least one or two to download whenever I go through the entire list) and it can provide recommendations based on what you have installed.

Look at the "Browse Apps" section of Appbrain as much as you can. The list changes daily. You'll start to pick up on what you want and how to find it.
Okay. That app is pretty cool. Haha. So what about personalize and customization?

Go to the Themes & Apps section of this forum and find the screenshot thread. It's full of screenshots of other people's customizations. You'll see things you want to do and it'll also spark ideas.

The best way to experiment with finding them is to search what it is and peruse the results. If you saw a calendar widget, search calendar widgets (and other search terms that might turn up results) and sometimes you'll be able to find them. Otherwise, just quote the post and ask the name of whatever you want. Sometimes the poster will answer, and often times, if someone else knows, they'll answer.
And another question. When I use different launchers, launcherpro for example, they are all very laggy, so are there themes that dont need launchers?

LauncherPro is a bad example. It hasn't been updated in a year. Try a different launcher. I recommend ADW EX. Lots of people like Go Launcher. You could always stick with the TouchWiz launcher too if you want. There's nothing wrong with the TouchWiz launcher. Themes don't generally require a specific launcher unless their respective dev says so.
Like others have said, the best way to find what you like is to simply try things. Become familiar with tools that you can use to backup and restore your setup in case you run into things you don't necessarily like.

In all honesty if I could some how convince Amazon to let me to a return I would probably do the same. Not because of the specs and not because I don't love my Infuse but because there will probably be better community support in the form of more devs and longer support.

I was using launcher pro for awhile and liked it, felt like it wasn't that laggy at all. It just didn't have the ability to customize as much as say ADW or Go, but just before I replaced it they did an update that improved a lot of things, and you can now do mass customization. Currently tho i'm using Crazyhome as my launcher and I really like it.

i am currently running the infused rom on my infuse 4g and i am noticing a lot of people talking about the MIUI rom. can someone tell me the big differences in the roms that makes them stand out from eachother. which one is more user friendly and such. i have uploaded a screenshot of my homescreen using go launcher ex.
really no replies yet? c-mon people help me out. i have been looking around and found a new rom that looks amazing. i am not a total noob at this stuff i know what i am doing. the new rom that i am looking at is called sensation rom and it looks amazing kudos to the guy that designed it. if you are running it please feel free to fill me in about it too. i am looking to flash a new rom soon and want to know what is the best that i can get for my infuse. here is the link for the sensation rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325177
again all the help i can get from here would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS
you can wait longer than an hour lol
to get an idea of how the roms are different, you can watch some videos on youtube.
miui is a big change from most roms, it's probably best to just flash and see if you like it. it's not like flashing is permanent

the sense Rom is good, i will leave it at that.
i dont like to hype Roms, cuz they are different for everyone....you may not like the features on one while someone else absolutly loves them. Miui is the MOST customizable rom that is out there. Cm7 is a great Rom as well. i can find good things to say about most roms i have tried on the infuse. and i have Tried them ALL...lol
i say flash away, if your not a Noob - i know your not scared of a brick right.
take the time and see if you like it, if not Flash another and another and for ****s and giggles flash another.
trial and error is the only way to really see if a rom works for you.
It's al about personal opinion man, in my opinion, you should backup your current rom and then flash miui and give it a try. the worst that can happen is that you won't like it and all you have to do is restore from your backup.
Its just two ROMs..!! And you are on Infused. Try out MIUI for a couple days and keep what you liked more.

I've just flashed to MIUI. This is purely my opinion alone.
- It's has a very clean interface with no "crapware" at all. I've to install everything from scratch. That's a plus point anyway.
- And there's multitude of customization that can be done. From themes, to settings, etc.
- But the thing that I don't really like is all my installed app sitting pretty on the home screen.
- I do notice that it's faster than the original infuse interface. Faster browsing too.
- I think it has problems handling more than 4 gmail accounts and Google voice seem to be working erratically.
Apart from that, everything works fine and I'm still figuring it out further.
Think of MIUI as a REALLY REALLY GOOD knock off of iOS.
its CM7 with a skin. lol. basically.

youtube would be a great idea if i werent at work where it is blocked. haha. but thanks for all your help everybody. i may flash MIUI just to try it out. thanks!
Personal preference tbh.
so just to cover my ass a little, if i make a backup of my current rom using rom manager and i dont like MIUI i can always restore from the backup that i made? and when i do decide to get MIUI what and where should i get it from?
MIUI is in the developers section of the infuse forums. It is usually on the first page due to so many people posting on it, it isn't hard to find.
well i did it. i flashed to MIUI and i am going to see if i like it. so far i am not happy. i had my phone to backup all my contacts to google and it didnt and i even moved them to my sim card. so i lost all my contacts. but all in all its going to take some getting used to. will either upload pics at some point or maybe make a video to help people like me who are a lil iffy on rom flashing.
thanks guys for all your help!
I've been running MIUI for 3 weeks now and I LOVE it.....sleek, customizable, fast, faster browsing than stock....but I would recommend trying both to find the one that works for you

MI~INFUSED~UI
All I know is I LOVE Infused GB rom
I tried Serendipity, and HATED it. Flashed Infused back immediately. The swype is outdated, and the look and feel is god-awful. Plus, I refuse to keep a ROM on my phone called "Serendipity" terrible...just awful.
Never tried MiUI
just get Infused. GTG is the man.
Im late on this topic. Just flash both and see which you enjoy more.

I have an old shift...and my son loves to play games and music on it, like me he loves tech. stuff....My question....is there anyway someone could construct something with all the phone,contacts, etc. out of it?...and just have access to music and google play for gaming....I tried, but got foreclosures everywhere. ..Thanx, if someone may find time as im sure others would be interested in this as well....
I can give it a shot. What ROM are you interested in moding?

Well I spent a lot of time trying to put something together yesterday using Provision and so far I haven't been able to put anything together I like. As a short cut you can get Titanium Backup Pro and freeze the contacts and messaging apps. (Only those two!) That'll hide the dialer, messaging and contacts apps. There is a ROM like what we are talking about here for the EVO 4g. I'll read through what the dev of that ROM did to make it work. Maybe it can be ported.
