Touchwiz 4.5 ***EDITED. PLEASE READ EDIT****

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!!!!

Did you flash the tw4.zip or did you install the tw4.apk? It may have something to do with how you put it on your phone.

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.

Stock Android 2.3.5 APK's needed.

I have searched xda over and cannot find where to download a couple of apk files. I've seen people mention them in places but no where to download. So I have an idea floating around in my head and need two apks to see if I can make it work... needed are...
1. Stock touchwiz apk for android 2.3.5 that was on the skyrocket out of the box.
2. Gallery3d apk that also came stock on the 2.3.5 out of the box.
If anyone has these or knows where I can download them from either upload or send me a link.
If I can get my idea to work I will then post it and give some kudos to whoever helps with these files...

Haha, good luck!

what im trying to do id get the issue with the wallpaper resizing fixed for those who dont want to install a custom rom. my idea is it worked fine on 2.3.5 so i just have to figure out what the difference is in the code and whether its a gallary problem or a touchwiz problem or a little of both. ive tried every launcher on the market so im hoping the problem is the gallary and i can take the apk from 2.3.5 and drop it in the system app root folder and it work. if that dont work ill have to start looking into the code and see if there is a difference. its all wrote in java so i know java from my computer programing days... but there has got to be a way to make it work....

Those apk's are stock, not deodexed. So if you are planning on dropping them in a custom rom, I think you will have to deodex them. Or I can upload the deodexed versions if you need them.

I'm running ucle2 and can't resize wallpaper other than cwm recovery and rooted and debloated I am stock. So do you think they need to be deodexed for stock ucle2? I'm not installing the touchwiz as a matter of fact I hope I don't need it but if I do it will just be to look at the code and see how it differs from ucle2 touchwiz if any at all. I'm hoping I can drop the apk and odex file in the root system app folder replacing the ucle2 with the 2.3.5 gallery and I'm hoping it run it and I can once again resize wallpaper and have ucle2. I like to have my cake and eat it too...

no, if you're stock you don't want deodex, so you're good. No idea if it will work, though. Lol

Kinda yea. Didn't know there was a forum for it already. My hope is that it will work without any changing code you know keep it simple until simple don't work... I noticed last night that both 2.3.5 and ucle2 both use the same touchwiz30 so maybe I'll get away with simple....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Well of course simple hasn't worked so now I'm about to check code.. oh what fun. When I drop the 2.3.5 apk in the system app folder it opens for a short few seconds and force closes. I've tried fix permissions and of course wiped cache and dalvick cache so its close to working but close just isn't good enough... but I have not gave up yet. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated....

"omg, a newb asking an apk question, KILL HIM!"

I know I know... There are a lot of things I am good with... android...is new for me.
I have a galaxy note and I dont know the first thing about .apk files or rooting, etc.... I dont mind the way it works now... BUT
I want S Voice. (duh)
as you can see from my sig... Its be A WHILE since I have hacked/modded phones. Then I went to the iPhone for a few models and now I am back...
I downloaded "apkinstaller" and "appinstaller" but niether will load the apk I got off of xda.
I loaded the .apk to my external sd and made enables the ability to load apps that arent from the android market.
Do I need to delete something? Or what... I really need someone to give me a "step by step, you're an idiot" way of getting this done. I really dont want to root my phone if I dont have to.
Thanks to anyone who helps!

you shouldnt need to root to install apk's as long as you have checked off ability to install apps that arent from market. I have been doing that from my dropbox since my phone was stock everything. Maybe the apk is broken. Try downloading it again. Maybe even try downloading another apk just to test if it installs properly.

I will try that now.

actually I dont think that S Voice is an apk. From what I read quickly is that it needs to be flashed via CWM. Which is a bit more complicated than installing an apk.

I dont really have the time to read up on all of it but from what I have you may need to be rooted and remove voice talk first. I think a few of the custom ROMS also have S Voice installed on them already. This is a trickier apk than usual. Would be great if someone with more experience on S Voice would jump in and show you the steps. Sorry I couldnt be of more help.

not sure if this needs to be pushed to system/app rather than installed?
if it won't install I'm sure you'll need to be rooted.

say what? (told you I am a newb)

it is, in this state (unrooted), impossible to get it working.
You need to have root-acces (which you stated you don't have), because you have to replace the usual voice talk with the S-voice application.
You can of course root your phone, read up, and install the mod.

OMG you're such a NOOB! Kidding, just kidding. Well no actually, but that's just how it is
