First off thanks to everyone from the various SGS forums for this, especially to fear2142.
This is the Touchwiz4 Launcher from the SGS2 ported to work with Galaxy Tabs running a DeOdexed Gingerbread based build (or latest Overcome based on GB).
Changes I made for the Tab:
Fixed XML's to support larger screen
Adjust size for workspace/edit screens
Set Launcher workspace to 6 rows/ 6 columns (fits good)
Set appdrawer to 6x6 layout as well
Adjusted to allow 5 shortcuts on bottom bar
How to install?
This is a CWM3 package, save to sd card, use recovery to install (choose zip from sdcard etc)
You must clear your dalvik cache after install.
Reboot, clear the application data for twlauncher to ensure it displays properly.
This is currenty setup for 240 dpi, I'm working on a version for 182dpi as I type.
*UPDATE*
Alright, I've attached the 182 version. Unfortunatly I just cannot get it to accept a grid any larger than 8x8.. though I suppose that's still 64 spaces right?
Known Issues
Screen rotation is not currently working
Nice one mate!
Nice work! The screen rotation does not work for me.
Nice! Can't wait for 182 version

Awesome, just what I was waiting for
Much appreciated!
[EDIT] Could you create a zip for restoring back though incase we have issues/bugs etc?

Yeah good call, I neglected to mention that screen rotation is
not working at the moment..
To change the apps on the dockbar, open the application menu and do "menu key" and "edit".
know where I can get those (digital clock weather clock etc)?

You're going to need to add screenshots I think, cause I have no idea what you mean. None of my apps are covered by the dockbar shortcuts.
Are you running at 240 or 182 dpi like the OP says?

Hey can you share a link to the files for the SG2 clock and weather apps?
it's on the i9000 themes and apps forum. Quick search will take you there.

Oh great.. Thanks for that- going now
I thought they were somehow modded to work on the Tab
I'm going to give them a try now
What is the i9000? Is it the Nexus S?
Im not good with phone codes.
Edit- Ignore my stupidity, i found it I knew it was a Samsung but couldnt remember which one haha.
Couldnt get the digital clock to install.

So, currently I have the (I think..) AOSP lockscreen. It looks nice and all, but I find myself missing the ability to be able to open my text messages directly from the lock screen. I found it extremely useful... I could go back to the default Froyo lockscreen, which of course has the functionality I would like, but I was wondering if there are any others around with the functionality I want, but with a... cooler? look? =]

It works great but many screens are not Note-friendly due to the resolution :-(
Very nice App. MIUI Lockscreens are the best. But I tried about 10 different mtz - and not even one has been displayed correct. Someone should customise some locks for this resolution
I tried it and it froze my phone. I had to pull the battery to restart it.
I prefer my stock lockscreen but thanks for the info
can we have the data monitor app from MIUI?
have you guys tried the lidroid rom yet, check it out it has 5 lockscreen mod in it.

I have tried out on G-Note. Not working properly, it installs, but due to high resolution, some themes are not working ( showing small icons etc.), thanks any way for your work.
go locker suits me the best.... using it for more than 20 days , better than the stock lockscreen
Go locker has a issue when using headset and changing song threw headset button, it refuses doubble clicks, so you end up pausing the song all the time, no fun..
Works well this, I have made the default MIUI lockscreen 'English' and changed some of the wording and how the date reads to read more, erm, English
Just unzip and place in the themes folder of the MIUI folder on your internal storage.
Not all themes work, but there are plenty which do... I have ICS theme working perfectly on my note...

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.

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.

I have tried the numerous live wallpaper workarounds but still prefer the native wallpaper scrolling. Is there any way to enable this on a stock based rom similar to how Viper's launcher has it? I have tried looking in default.xml, Prism.apk, SystemUI but have yet to find anything. If anyone knows of a working exposed module or tutorial for how to force, please let me know. Thanks!

For whatever reason, scrolling wallpaper still works with some launchers. I have it working with ADW EX and I've heard at least Go Launcher described as still working. I just don't like the way ADW scrolls wallpaper.
Does anyone understand why we have an issue? Is there some way that AOSP Android allows for scrolling, and this is not working in KitKat or Sense has broken it? I've read Nova used to have a force scrolling option that was removed. Does anyone still have it working on that older version? Why was that option removed?
For me, with Solo launcher, wallpaper scrolling doesn't work. Themer, it doesn't work, Go Launcher scrolling works fine. I even like the transition, which makes sense, as opposed to the way ADW transitions. What a stupid way to choose which launcher I will use.
I guess I don't care about icons and traditional themes, though I'm definitely impressed with Themer's abilities, it's just not what I'm looking for... Just scrolling wallpaper, please.

Same feelings here for Nova. I love everything else about it. I continually try new CM nightlies but then miss the duo cam and IR features.
Edit: Oh and the main one, swipe to wake
I'm going to update this post later. There's several live wallpaper apps that restore wallpaper scrolling. I think the one in using now is landscape wallpaper. It works completely and invisibly, as if scrolling was miraculously restored. I even like being able to auto-switch walls on unlock.
EDIT:
Landscape Wallpaper - PROS: Better settings than WC, IMO; gives you lockscreen wall control, "scrolling direction," "scrolling source" of simulated or launcher (method), elastic effects, and image quality.; if choose simulated scrolling source, has further scrolling effects! (almost won me over with this... if could add "border mode" option to infinite scroll wallpaper (visible edge/seam, not jump/scroll back), I'd donate/buy this) CONS: Maybe a PRO, scrolls wall behind app drawer, but can't disable this. Can't create "albums" to choose from; only single image or folder
Wallpaper Changer - PROS: can create albums from single file, folder, or individually selected images from multiple locations and switch between them at will!; simple and works well. CONS: settings seemed glitchy or quirky for me; can add, but apparently not remove individual images from albums!?
Scrolling Live Wallpaper - Pretty simple, it adds wallpaper scrolling and worked for me. I don't remember it being bad, but I hated that when I took a screenshot, it became obvious it lowered the resolution/quality of the wallpaper dramatically, probably for performance. I don't think it had an option to disable this. It also scrolled unnaturally, imo. I think it simulated the scrolling effect, but poorly.
Wallpaper Wizardrii - I'm pretty sure I read this will enable scrolling for launchers that don't support it. I didn't try it. Looks popular, but has tons of wallpaper wizard effects that I don't need or want.
TIP: If using stock lockscreen, and maybe regardless, along with 3rd party default homescreen -- set same live wallpaper as wallpaper in Blinkfeed or stock launcher (settings same, regardless of launcher). Annoying when choosing single or small set of images; after a reboot, I always had a non-chosen wallpaper load, then refresh with expected live wallpaper after homescreen loads.

The latest Nova beta that came out today has an option to force wallpaper scrolling that works great.
