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

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)

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
I know it's a bit much to ask and probably won't be around for a while, i'm positive there are people interested in it just as much as me as i'm currently "ICS pimping" my phone out but due to my locked boot loader and fastboot not working due to 02 sim lock (and not having the persuasion or the trust to do it via online no offence due to the costs..) i can't get cm7 running and using that ICS theme i was wondering if anyone could make this ?
With widget locker you can mimic the lockscreen now.
Oh i have the wallpapers, the widget locker and using the ICS clone, the default UI sounds , the ringtones and notifications ripped from the Galaxy Nexus, launcher pro icons theme, the google widget and the clock widget, oh and the market update the google music app update and the google+ update from 4.0
i'm getting there lmao
Couldn't you just switch to ADW or Go Launcher and use one of their ICS themes?

no, because i already have that done read my previous comment, i'm talking about a theme the way the Galaxy S II theme got ported to this rom, re-themeing the stock status bar, apps framework, system UI etc.
It's a bit much to ask but i'm sure someone will do it soon enough if they have the interest

Why not try porting the theme yourself you can edit framework and systemui without needing to decompile so shouldnt be too hard
trust me it attempted it before and i ended up bricking my phone, don't ask probz didn't give it correct permissions , being a uni student leaves me little time to focus on things like that 9:00 A.M. and i'm up to my neck in coursework lol.

Is there any way someone can port touchwiz 4.0 from the T-Mobile galaxy s 2 to work with our kj6 roms? (Valahalla, octane v3, etc). I know about touchwiz 4.5 but its very unstable on my phone for some reason and its app sorting in the app drawer does not work. I love how smooth tw4 is compared to others like launcher pro and adw and I just think it looks soo much better. I appreciate it if anyone can help. I'm sure other memebers would like this as well. Thanks!

Furthermore, I'm running Valhalla- it comes with this launcher, the modified touchwiz 4, on there. You do not need this for valhalla.

That's tw4.5 though..... it has made my phone reboot ever since froyo days. Whenever I do something ram intensive on that launcher, my phone reboots. I never experience that with others like launcher pro. And how the app drawer doesn't sort properly is a pain. Thanks for the help though..

Actually I made the cwm zip from an apk I found while googling for touch wiz 4.0 apk lol it worked so I thought it was worth posting. I've never used 4 or 4.5 and I got the wrong one, lol sorry for the confusion. It was mislabeled and I have no experience with the either of them. Sorry for getting confused guys ill try to find 4.0 tonight again lol

The 4.5 comes from the fact that it was a modified version of 4. This launcher automatically comes configured with the stay in ram feature selected- it's been awhile but I am sure that Launcherpro has that feature as well, but it is by default off. Try disabling that and see if it just fc's the launcher (thus resulting in a restart of the launcher) as opposed to your phone crashing. Thats really the only thing that would separate it from other launchers. You can turn the 3d effects off as well to help with the ram. I always make sure to kill passive processes- then again I do not use octane so I am not sure how it runs.
I never had problems with the app drawer. You can change the sorting preferences in the preferences menu of the launcher. It is by default on unrestricted, but you can change it to alphabetical.

I tried turning that off, launcher won't even open anymore so I had to reinstall it. Tried running it for a day but it just doesn't work on my phone which is currently running valahlla final. I have the app drawer set to alphabetical but it still doesn't sort properly. If I install a lot of new apps or delete a lot of apps, there are lots of blank spaces and the only way to get rid of the spaces is to manually move each app one by one which is really a big pain. I just want stock touchwiz 4. I hope someone can get it to work on this phone. After playing with my brother's galaxy s 2, none of the launchers on the market feel anywhere close to that smooth.

Yeah go launcher is pretty good. Still isn't as fast as launcher pro though. I really wish we had a stock touchwiz 4 launcher for this phone. Tw4.5 freezes too much and no other launcher out there really comes close to how fluid tw4 is. I've tried like every launcher in the market too.

Why are you resurrecting old threads and posting the same thing in each one?
Does anyone know if it is possible to have an HTC launcher on a Samsung device?
Google gives me nothing and I really miss the Sense 3.0 launcher.
I already have those far from perfect skins and themes, but I want the real thing.
I want the carousel effect, the 3D effect, and the floaty lockscreen widgets.
I imagine that it can't really be all that hard, can it.
Can't it just be installed like all the custom launchers?
Or it could be extracted from a HTC ROM and placed in a Galaxy rom instead the Touchwiz launcher.
Anyway, I hope someone can inform me about all this.
I would like to know about this as well.

1. The launcher relies on the HTC Sense framework which refers me to point #2:
2. The HTC Sense framework is proprietary and closed-source .
So it is not possiele to just grab a random HTC sense 3.0/3.5 custom Rom and make it compatible with different hardware?
And if so, how are those custom Roms made in the first place?
If i find the time, i'm gonna experiment with this.

It's not possible even with same hardware , you may even get sued by HTC

Before this phone I had a HTC hd2 and it ran Sense 3.0, doesn't that prove enough?
I don't think we're on the same page.

Wasn't HD2 capable to run both android and wm?
There's a video on YT that presents Incredible S - stock running on Galaxy S.
Oh well , you can do that.....but you cannot make it public.....might get a C&D letter from HTC

Hello everyone i just signed up and i own a Samsung Infuse 4G and ive been flashing some roms on it lately and i want to know in your opinion what is the best rom.
i tried zeus, and i like it but i hate build 5.2 and build 6, because of the fact that wallpapers do not scroll. live wallpapers do, but static ones do not. I love build 3 fixed for ZEUS because it has scrollable wall papers and the app drawer is transparent. i dont like the black background when looking through my apps i like it see through.
but, being build 3 it freezes quite a bit. i tried CM7, didnt like it. i want to try something else.
I hate flashing roms and testing them because every time i restore it gives me an error saying "No sdcard/.android.secure Found. Skipping restore of SD card apps." so i have to re install 1 by 1 the apps with titanium backup and its really annoying. once i reach my 10 post mark i will start to post in the developers thread but this is all i can do now.
in a rom in need stability, no freezing no non working elements, all that.
clean, simple and crisp.
no dumb animations to lag the os and use mass ram. clean simple and fast. id even use gingerbread with touchwiz 4.0 like on the samsung galaxy s 2 skyrocket LTE that has a very good stock OS. maybe there is a way to put that on my infuse? I want to try s.u.r.f.a.c.e. rom but that's a hard way to flash it
any suggestions?

You can always Port your own ROM. Just saying.
If all you don't like about ZEUS is the launcher's look, then you can use one of the alternative launchers available off Market... err Play... or whatever Google is calling its new and improved more privacy breaking app download thing.
Off hand, the two I can think of are GOLauncher and PhoenixLauncher. I currently use GOLauncher on ZEUS and like it quite a bit, plus it's free. I think I'm going to give PhoenixLauncher a go after some of the bugs are worked out.

I agree, and also I'd recommend GoLauncher as I use it on Zeus build 5.2 and love it. Give it a Try!
I don't like those launchers iv tried them, I like touch wiz 4 which Zeus build 3 has, so I am using this for now.

Yerp on the surface rom...super lite...has lots of add on apps...smooth,stable....
The reason that wallpapers don't scroll is a SAMSUNG issue, not a Zeus issue, a change they made in the new gb leaks, so they wont change, on any rom built from that leak. Build 3 is no more and outdated, so if you don't want another launcher I suggest keeping build 3 because I removed it from the server. And tw 4 is way too buggy and unstable, that's why it was removed and will not return.
