[Request] original Tochwiz optimizing for 182dpi [Please Vote]

Hello guys!
Would somebody create a port of the original Galaxy Tab TouchWiz that is optimized for use with 182dpi? I think 8x8 rows would be nice.
Why to Hell original TW?
Because I like the original Launcher very much but as you all know, it does not work well with 182 (or similar) dpi-mode.
What do you think? let me know.

Is anybody able or interested to do this? Because of the view counter I'm thinking there are a few people who want to see a port of this.
I would do it by myself but i'm no programmer and not able to do this.

i can make this happen
but make at least 30 to 50 persons vote for it and i'll make it

Yes kOsh. I know you can do it. You did/do also a awesome job with the TW4. So i hope there are other peopel those whant to have the simple and original "look&feel" of the standart TW from the Tab.
Basicly the Homescreen is just a simple modification of the Stock GB launcher. Maybe it is possible to port it also for other devices.
For me, the point is that the app-drawer and the two "main positions" (next to the app-drawer button) are customizable. But the Launcher have still to be fast as hell like the original, combined with the usability of the 182dpi-mode.
I hope the best!

forgot about it
go check my touchwiz 4 thread after awhile and you'll see what i'm doing

Someone have finished modify the TW4 to the TAB with 182 and 240 long time ago. You can find in this forum. I can't remeber the name but started with 'M'(really sorry).
He had ported it since MAY 2011.

Oooohhhhh realy? I know that. But i did writhe that i like the original "look&feel" of the tab. I don't like the TW4. So your post was not helpfull.
But it's okey. I burried my hope after kOsh's second post. And it looks like no one else is intressted for a port.
Too bad
Thanks anyway

sorry if i may be off topic, but is there any chance to replace the dial, contacts, logs, groups and favourites with the original gingerbread theme, the one with black background. I am so mad about the actual theme. thanks in advance!

Yea guy, you are off topic but it doesn't matter anymore.
I don't know exactliy what you asking for. Maybe you can load an other dailer (with a darker skin) from the Market.
BtW: i don't remember at a black dailer app on the Gtab. I think it was allways white.

i also need 182dpi original touchwiz
im using korea's galaxy tab (m180s)
tw4 not working on my tab
sorry to my bad english

[Q] Can Mini Apps be edited/changed?

Hello All,
Just a quick question... can the mini apps at the bottom be changed to use other apps? I called Sammy tech support and they said I'd have to check w/Google since it's built into the ICS OS. I find this odd because I've checked other tabs at Worst (Best) Buy and they didn't have this mini-app tray.
I want to use other apps in its place. I wonder why when you view the mini apps you'll see an "edit" icon, however, when you click on it, everything is greyed out so you cannot edit or switch-out the mini-apps.
Thanks!

I believe this is a TouchWiz feature, and my understanding is that you cannot use other apps. Only the ones provided by Samsung.

I don't have it in front of me, but I believe that lets you add and remove the existing quick apps. Also, it probably isn't out of the realm of possibility that someone could develop a quick app and it would appear, but I bet there isn't a whole bunch of people building these quick apps.

+1. I think your take on this is as accurate as it can get.

Give Apex launcher a try if you dislike touchwiz. I can't stand touchwiz.

Mini Apps is built into the status bar, not the launcher. it will always be there.

Hate it...i wish i could get rid of the miniapps, sometimes it pressed accidentally and bug my gaming time

If Olny some1 develope mini app for the notes that would be great for ppl who read and like to write quick notes, If Only....

install gmd gesturecontrol to hide the status bar
You wont press any mini apps accidently then. Also when you press edit you double click on a mini app to add/remove it.

You can remove them, they annoyed me so I got rid by following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692173
Obviously make a back-up before deleting the suggested files if you feel you may want thm back at some point (not that I did )!

Would be one of the best launchers if it were in English. It is funny, if you read all the reviews they all ask for it in English, including mine. Lol

Very cool, I like it, will keep it but hold off for now until an english translation comes out.
Cheers

The launcher seemed to have cramped everything up, looking at thr screenshots. Is it what the real launcher looks like?

i have the launcher all setup, and added the English badges, but does anybody know how to disable the launcher's Lock screen? Even when I use a different launcher it's still the default launcher. I assume the option is there, but i can't find it.

To disable the lock screen, all you need to do is kill its process from startups. It works like I want it now.
Although I wish there was weather, unless I can't find it. Haha

Can anyone please post the apk? Thanks

[Q] Launcher, Music, and Best Music Mod

Hey all,
I have four(4) questions for all of you!
1. Which is the single most innovative launcher that works on our SG3? I'm talking innovative. Like SSLauncher, Sweeterhome et all. Please don't say Launcher Pro and ADW and stuff
2. Does the newest versions of ADW not let u change icons? Or am i dumb enough to not be able to figure it out. Please help me.
3. When i listen to music, there is always a buzz at the start or end of a song. Like the recording buzz. How can i get rid of that? Any mod or equalizer settings?
4. The best mod Music listeners? I'm currently using Beats by Contradictor

Hey, I'm not actually part of this forum but I used to own an I5800 and played around with it for a while.
1.) Launchers? You said quite a few there already. But maybe search for something called Sliderscreen through Google (its not on Play Store anymore). Or go for Launcher 7/LauncherWP8 (if you're on 2.2+)? Those two are quite unique.
2.) Yep, the new ADW doesn't allow you to change individual icons. You'll have to find a workaround for that. I know there's an app that let's you create shortcuts to apps that allows you to select your own picture but the name escapes my memory :L I'll update my post once I find it.
EDIT: Yup, found the app. Desktop VisualiseR. The link is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.bii.android.app.dskvzr
3.) I'm not quite sure of the answer. I never had a buzz whenever I listened to music. Proper equaliser presets are only available is 2.3+ I believe (or so I've seen in all those other music apps).
4.) Sorry but I don't know about this one either :/
Hope I helped though (in one way or another)

I was wondering if it would be possible to add the whole dock bar (app drawer button and pinned apps etc..) vertically to either the left or right side of the desktop... Rather than having it stay at the bottom
As an option of course....
Also, ram consumption might need to be further optimized
Keep up the great work tho... Really do like this launcher :thumbup:

for "add the whole dock bar vertically", due to the restrictions of google design on displaying app widgets and other related things, this may make it not possible to put the whole dock bar vertically, very sorry~

No worries mate... It was only a suggestion
Maybe you could implement some different app drawer configurations.... Such as custom grid sizes and possibly a list style app drawer as well...
Would like to see how this develops..
