Launcher [request]

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!

Follow the instructions and it will work.
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?

Pre-Froyo or Post-Eclair Launcher

I just want to ask everybody out there, which do you prefer? The pre-eclair pull-up-to-open app drawer, or the post-eclair push-to-open app drawer?
Sent from Darth Hercules

Post eclaire push button. Much smoother.

Neither. I use gestures to open it. A simple swipe up from the bottom of the screen and it opens the app drawer

I'be always liked the pre-froyo app drawer 'cuz it's fun to play with.

I tried it on my Galaxy Nexus running Manhattan ROM IC120 release (4.0.3).
It seems to run fine, tell me if you want me to try anything specific that would make it crash, the pull-up app drawer works fine

Sent From a Galaxy S with 4G

I read tonight it only works on ics. There is a function it requires to install that is not part of GB stock based ROMs. Not sure if it will work on AOSP based ROMs or not.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Xparent Purple Tapatalk 2

1. You need twframeworks .. obviously cause ICS AOSP doesn't support an assistant built in.
2. Two, all of the resources are dependent on new ICS frameworks.
3. It won't work on this phone no matter what we do. We don't have TW ICS.
We''ll probably get AOSP, but for this to work, we'll ned TW.
4. Jelly Bean, Android 4.1/5.0 will have it's own integrated personal assistant probably, which will be 100% better than S-Voice.
-reasons
-better hardware at the time
-better API
-android integration(you need to open your app drawer to get to S-Voice. which sucks)

Will this run for me on ics Rom ? Can I just install or no
Sent From My Rooted 3D

no
first of all, I doubt that you are using any form of a Galaxy S(IDK why you posted here)
you are probably using an Evo 3D or an Optimus 3D, and there are "no" chances unless you have touchwiz ICS, which "ONLY" galaxy S phones can have. I doubt it can be ported to other phones like Sense UI can.

in case you didnt read, i mentioned that i used to own a galaxy s 4g. i passed it on to a friend and got a nexus s. No TouchWiz, and the app worked ok after modifying the build.prop a little.
just wanted to share here because i really liked this community. I'm grateful to all the Devs that made my old 4g run flawlessly. So i thought i would share some love.. BUT i honestly had no idea it was an ICS only app... so sorry.

too bad. samsung has fix this leak so the one and only s III is only able to use it now.

Ok well for all people knocking this It's working for my on da 3d with np right now going to post a link in a few uploading now here you go

Yay I have siri!! I mean "Galaxy" lol. It works good but not the double tab home button, oh well its still cool to have
sent from the headquarters of the Umbrella Corporation

If using apex launcher you can set it open by double tapping the home screen.
Hit menu then apex settings,behavior settings, and Desktop double tap. Select launch app and select S-voice.

I thought the double tap thing might be launcher related. I'm going to test Stock launcher vs Nova and see if that makes a difference.
Edit: No luck. Maybe it has to do with the S-Voice version..?

I tried installing it after connecting it via USB mode but it says "there is a problem parsing the package." My Samsung Galaxy S 4G has been rooted btw.

What rom? I believe s-voice will only work on ics based roms.

ICS style on ANY ROM

This may be old news for a lot of a people, but since I can't find any mention of it in the G2x Forums, then I figured there were probably still enough people who don't know about it to warrant a new thread.
If you're like me and got tired of the instabilities of ICS roms and switched to a GB one, but missed the look and feel of ICS, then here is your answer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636393
Holo Launcher works for 2.2 and above. I've been running it on top of HFP 2.2 for 3 days with no problems. It does a great job of giving you an ICS feel on your GB ROM and also features pinch previews and scrollable docks. I recommend using this with a rom that supports Theme Chooser to fully customize your device and really get that Sandwich feel (or whatever other feel you want )

thats pretty cool, gonna try this when i get home, thanks for posting this!

I've been using it for 2 days and it is nice and gives the same exact feel of stock launcher of 4.0.4 without the lag haha, I wish Widgets would work but it is only a beta ;-)

Widgets are working for me. Just not in the ICS style of pulling them from the app drawer, which is not a huge deal for me.

Only if it had lock screen gesture and delete/uninstall apps directly from the app drawer. The two things that won't let me go of the Golauncher.

My current rom supports lockscreen gestures (I use them frequently). And if you hold down on an app from the app drawer, drag it to the delete/trash icon, and hold it there, it turns into an uninstall icon. Note: this only works with downloaded apps and not system apps.***

Oh.. and I appreciate thanks, but if you try the launcher and like it, please show your support and thanks to dev in the original thread linked in the OP. Thanks!

Its Ok, doesn't compare to ADW with the ICS Sqrd paid theme is smooth silky Butter!

I tried this before, it's not bad but I'd rather use GO Launcher EX with an ICS theme. It's just way smoother for my phone.

The jelly bean update is nice.... People don't seem to like the search bar but I think it's cool

Atrix 2 ICS and MotoBlur (Urget Help Required)

Hi all, I was very much surprised to see ICS update on my Atrix 2 in India. Motorola has really done a decent Job on ICS for Atrix 2. Surprise apps like Smart action and beautiful and simple UI.
But I am missing MotoBlur 2.3 UL and Blur Social Netwroking app and Universal Message app. Can can one Rip these apps from 2.3.6 and post here.. Also Weather app.. Thanks in advance

I don't think it's possible to port them, and if it was there is no space left in system partition

The app "Executive Assistant" is a great way to get all of your email & social apps into one widget if that's what you're looking for. Though I don't use it anymore, it served its purpose well when I was addicted to caring about all that useless crap.

If universal messaging app isn't available on ICS, I am never going to upgrade to it. I use 3-4 email accounts and like to have them all available in one place.

No Universal Messaging app

There is no Universal messaging app, no MotoBlur, No MotoBlur widgets. ICS on Atrix is very simple. Moto Didn't do any tweaks in the UI. Also there is no connected Music player which would sync lyrics automatically. Music player is also very bland..

Player pro is worth paying for too.

Hi can anyone confirm the following things about atrix 2 on ICS:
1. Does your phone auto rotate to landscape in the app menu as before? My phone auto rotates only in the settings menu,youtube & browser.
2. How do i view all home screens at once? Tapping home button on home screen does not display all the home screens at once (unlike in gb).

I believe these are all launcher-specific options, which may not be part of Holo HD. Since I use Novalauncher Prime, it does in fact rotate the app drawer, and double-tap of home brings up desktop previews. Check your launcher settings and verify these options may or may not exist.
Bottom line, not an OS issue, its a launcher issue.

I am on stock ics launcher. I wanted to clarify these 2 points before trying out nova/holo.

I have ripped MotoNav (Network independent GPS) from Milestone XT720 (2.1) and installed in Atrix. It is working very fine except the resolution. I think, 2.3 apps from atrix will work on ICS. I will work on it if I get a phone with 2.3.6 Shortly, I will get Atrix 2 running on 2.3 (My cousin is using it) Will try to extract and install my Atrix ICS
