Hey everyone ive tried tons of different roms, and then I hit miui, this was a brilliant mod for me and i loved the ability to theme my messages app, but the rest of miui i just dont like. So now im looking for roms that have a modified messages.apk of some sort, preferably ics. Also if anyone knows any touchwiz style roms i would love it because i previously had a galaxy and im quite used to it.
U can use any rom and just try oyt the GO Sms + swiftkey and you'll get a really nice combo for sms. (u can tweak whatever u want and how u want - if u get the pro version, get's even beter)
if i helped you somehow hit thanks button pls.
Sended using my nexus s on apex+matr1x
i hate go sms with a passion, i dislike any messages app, and grudgingly im currently using chomp sms.. not enjoying it i must say. I just need a rom that has custom chat bubbles in the messages, doesnt seem like much to ask for. My Galaxy Ace had chat bubbles and it was only $150! seems like the higher end nexus s should have at least that feature.

Hey
Is it possible that someone please could port the latest touchwiz rom to our nexus s? Before the excuse was that the galaxy s was running android 2,2 but now that it has been updated to 2,3 it could maybe be possible and in a devs interest? Thanks a lot. And before someone tells me to port it my self, i will like to say that i have tried.

We might as well just put all our energy's into the TW4.0 rom dropping with the Samsung Galaxy S Two
Now that will be worth it

you didnt have to start another thread about this. there was another thread of this.
and no one said the excuse was TW being on 2.2, the excuse is: "if you want a TouchWiz phone then get Galaxy S2."
other than that. CM7 pretty much has all the features TW has to offer with the exception of video codecs

Well as long nothing is happening, there is nothing wrong with keep on asking for it. And i think that there is a huge difference between tw and cm. Its not just the features i want, its more the UI.

if the UI is what you want look for a themed launcher that looks like iOS
im wondering if anybody will port touchwiz 4 to the infuse its on just about every other phone and i know the infuse is relatively new still, but we have a few roms already and lots of dev that was done faster than normal so i don't see why it would take long to port a launcher. im not a dev so i don't really know but i would love if the tw4 launcher would come to infuse.

yes it was done on the vibrant for 2.2 so it is posible, just needs some libs and i think a framwork or services.jar mod or something. nopcodex indicated it might added to his bionix infinity rom. i wouldnt be surprised if mikey mike does the same.
touchwiz 4 features??
Hi all,
I am from india. i wanted to know whether the touchwiz 4 is modified for infuse or is directly taken from samsung galaxy s2?
I am asking this coz in touch wiz there is 3G 324M integration for Native video calling using phone calls as 3G services.
waiting for the reply!?!?

Try that. I used it for about a week it's actually quite smooth
I love this launcher, they have made so much progress with it. Very smooth.
You can back-up your homescreen and other pages so after you flash a new rom and reinstall your apps you go into the launcher settings hit restore! Voila all your pages/homescreen are back to your preferences. It even puts your widgets back where they belong!
Love it! I'll never flash without it!

I use this launcher as well and its great when it works, but at least a couple of times a day for no reason at all it will slow down and/or freeze up and I have to wait for abit for my phone to respond again. And sometimes it will crash as well and my phone will reboot.
Yeah, that happened to me too.
I love 4.0, but I couldn't stand that random reboots so I went back to Launcher Pro. I think I read somewhere that the reboots happen when your phone uses too much resources.
Using go launcher ex myself. A lot of themes online and it has the option to back up the launcher so that after a flash you can go right back to your home screens

Its the lite version of ice cream sandwich.
and about whether 9003 will get it or not, only time will tell.
On www.gsmarena.com just 1 day ago samsung has officially decleared that no value pack update will be given to galaxy s. So forget about ICS
It's sad we aren't getting ICS, but the phone runs much nicer than it did under Froyo, so it's not like they're leaving us with a half-baked product.
It's not ICS, it's a GB update but with some adds.

I tried ics on my friends nexus s,trust me you wont like it,miui on froyo probably was better,and Samsung if they release ics on the i9003,it will be rubbish as we will still be stuck with touchwiz.so there is no point getting upset about not getting ics.

ya...! People u dont fascinate about ICS. Its like expecting ur gf to be act or look like sexy angelina jolie
I must admit that ICS is really superb but problem is samsung nexus has that kind of powerful hardware 1.2 ghz with dual core processor, 1gb ram. We even dont have half of it. Already our 2.3.6 firmwares run with little lag then from this u can imagine how device will perform with ICS (Super duper laggy).
Instead of this we must concentrate on cm7 & miui. Really these two roms are superbly awsome. It will really fulfill all our requirements.

I agree....but firstly its not about the MHZ,GHZ,THZor what,, even port for 600+mhz can run ICS(I think we can run SE x1 on ICS..doing it)... The Question is WHY I NEED ICS???whats the diff? whats new? cant it save me on bills? can it make my phone undistructable? can i play PS3 games on it???? a dozen of question marrks more to add...
Ics will give us loads Of new features . We could first concentrate on miui then ics through miui like in other phones. we need ics

Its not the question of power,when the T-Mobile g1(first android phone) and HTC HD2(a Wm phone from 09) can have smooth ics anything is possible with proper devs. I think the best way to approach ics is best to get it via miui or cyanogen mod

Once apps started requiring 4.0 compatibility, we will NEED ICS. In the upgrade to Honeycomb we didn't feel it that much since it is specifically for tablets. If apps begin to require Fragments (not present in 2.3 and below) and other 3.x and 4.x stuff we will be stuck. Its not just all visual eyecandy folks.

It'll be years away, and chances are you'll start having problems with the hardware, dropped it, ran out of warranty, new contract etc before lack of ICS becomes a major issue.
Why am i making excuses for Samsung? Beats me.
What we NEED is a completely bug free 2.3.7 GB and Samsung source lib files..
If we manage to get 'em , we'll ROCK...

you took words from my mouth Still we have some issues like sync issue, lag issue, vdo calling etc. I will not blame people that they are getting attracted to ICS becoz definitely ICS is very attractive. But even if we dont get ICS it will not make much difference. Instead of that I will prefer small ICS value pack update as per capability of mobile. Phone's actual performance can be identified only then & then when u install lots apps & do some multitasking with 3 to 4 apps open. Because whenever u install fresh rom then it has no background loading apps. So thats why it runs smoothly.
Regarding compatibility of app, if u observe carefully then 90% major apps are compatable to 2.1+ onwards versions of android and in future also same thing will continue by app developers.
ok i have looked online and i have seen that on other Samsung android phones you can remove touchwiz by installing a "stock" rom, but to me a stock rom is the one with Touchwiz.... can someone link me to a rom thats stable and doesnt have touchwiz....im new to this phone and been using the inspire 4g but the glass shattered...i understand i will have to root phone that i know but the roms for this phone nobody seems to post pictures of what they look like.
Best rom that's stable and most themed is Sky ice cream rom by Sean. GO flash it hands down the best rom in our dev forum.

Ill give it a go i just really really despise touchwiz ui and its the reason i normally stay away from sammy phones, that and the fact samsung is extremely slow to put out new os's on their phones if they ever do...got burnt on the Behold 2 never got my update cause they never put it out.
Yap its still young phone and we still have more roms compare to vivid and holiday combine. Once ICS comes than it will be different flashing game haha

So does the Sky ICS ROM have Touchwiz removed? You state it is themed... but never removed... I just ask because I am very curious about this phone, but depise the iPhone rip-off that touchwiz brings to android.
You won't see touchwiz unless you chose that launcher and if you don't chose that launcher than you won't see touch wiz. You got option there like ICS launcher and every other things like setting, contacts, and stuff is ics themed.

exactly, you don't need to root or flash a custom rom to get rid of Touchwiz. For example, download "Gingerbread Launcher" and set as default when it prompts you. Turns your phone into a vanilla gingerbread android phone and Touchwiz is gone. I use ADW Launcher Ex and set it to "Fast" preset. Phone absolutely flies and no sign of Touchwiz anywhere. Stock everything for me.
ive been having issues with ever single rom in here. my fav the nexusmod, facebook app doesnt work it makes me use the browser, a few others camera doesnt work or gps doesnt work. or its overclocked which makes the battery die faster. i just want a damn rom thats as basic as it can be but still have everything work... and only reason i hate touchwiz launcher is i dont use the email app and from what i read you cant remove it from that launcher bar.

Really? I make it my business to never take part in flaming or making a member feel unwanted, but really? What have you contributed to the community to make such a demand? Such a request shows your ignorance towards the hard work and dedication that is put into the work that you use for FREE!
If you are not satisfied with the the work the community provides, don't use it. I speak for the entire development community when I say Restore your device to stock and STFU you ungrateful bastard.

Ok, so maybe I'm a bit thik in this smartphone thingie, sorry to post on S II.
I got an i9070 (SGSAdvanced) and I would like to remove Touchwiz, since I got APEX installed. Now... from what I gather here, Touchwiz is a different, more complex animal then APEX and basically can't/shouldn't be removed? If so, does it slow down my phonw, like say... a PC with 2 OS installed(e.g.: Windows7+Ubuntu)?
I got Titanium and RomManager too, all the free versions. I'll gladly pay full versions when I'll be a bit used to them, learning atm, same case with APEX. Altough I don't know what APEX full has extra yet.
Anyway. I thankd the people that answered already, hoping for a YES you can remove, NO, you can't remove, BUT you can make it so it doesn't draw resources, and THIS is the Dumbie link for doing that.
Wtf, you know this thread is a year old? No you can't remove touch and what does tibu and rom manager have to do with it?

For clarity, you can't remove it but, you're correct that, you can find roms that don't rely on tw.

Hope you are doing well . Sorry if my question was wrong . I can't understand . Touchwiz is a launcher created by samsung for their devices .
Or is touchwiz a rom or kernal ? .I DELETED TOUCHWIZ FROM MY S DUOS . I am using nova launcher succesfully without any error .
Please describe me if my assumption about tochwiz was wrong.
Touchwiz consists of several pieces taking out the launcher is part of it but that doesn't remove touchwiz itself. Touchwiz is deeper than a launcher.

After Samsung gave you the shaft with this phone.....and you still want to use their apps?
Okay, great phone, but Samsung never updated anything.. I mean ANYTHING.
Your best bet is to use a rooted stock rom. But that most likely won't work as the Sidekick TW is a bit different. You would need a ROM with the actual frameworks from a "normal" Touchwiz 4 release.
That being said... TouchWiz is nice to look at, but really, the software isn't worth using. Get one of the many much better music players from the Market.
