Thanks man
u saved me hell of a time

Brilliant idea to start such an collection. Thanks to all contributors.
Off topic: Does anyone know of good tutorials in german? My son is 8 years old but already into programming lego mindstorms robots (with brixcc). He wants to dive into android programming. I don't know if he will quit at an early stage but at least I want to let him try.

German. I Havent found any. But i will keep searching.
Other option is to use Google Translate and check it in German, but i dont think it will be that good.

Made a Thread on Android Software Development Forum. So that others can also see this..
Thanks for your Encouragement.

Buddy add a few things like transparent 15 toggle button status bar
And touchwiz nature ux launcher??
Have you removed the msg limit of 4 msgs then it autoconverts itself to a mms?
Bdw the 15 toggle button zip i have is getting kind of weird when flashed.. Just the time goes %0/%0/%0/..rest is all fine..
If you can mod it properly for.our phone..should i give you the zip so that you can add it up?
Also should i provide you with the link to the touchwix nature ux launcher..add it up too.. ?

I have added the Touchwhiz 5*5 launcher apk and CWM flashable.. (Not my work, thanks to ADAM and PANKAJ)
Also added the 15 toggle mod with updated binary for our phone (Thanks to Vikesh for teaching me how to port something useful for our phone
And thanks to THE DROIDSTER for providing us with the link..)
Check if both of them work perfectly with our device in your rom.
If they do..add them to your ROM it will surely get more electrified
Rest see the link for deoxed rom touchwhiz launcher because i have not added the widgets pack so they aren't working currently in my phone. For them to work, add the widgets pack too might help.
But one thing more..Touchwiz and CM like launchers is getting monotonous..add something different..like the lg/moto/xperia one. Our Royale doesnt even have one Roms with them

This is Great Deepankar Buddy. I have seen that it has animations like my Note 2 in toggles.
@Sumit: Buddy, take a shot what Deepankar buddy attached. It has great settings. You can launch ERM V2.0 after applying all this..:good:

Very greatful to you bro for posting

Buddy seclauncher 2 is an apk extracted form "TouchwizUX-1.5.1-5x5.zip"..
Rest zips are CWM flashable..Tried the toggle files i.e "s3 toggles stock.zip" and "15_toggles_Stock.zip"?
TAKE BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING THE ZIPS!!!!
[EDIT] What problems are you facing?

[Q] Side-Screen Multitask?

Is there a way to implement the side-by-side screen on Galaxy R like on the S3 for multitasking? If someone worked on a flashable zip like that, it would be brilliant

V need an officiall jb rom from samsung for dat..it requires touchwiz framework which v don't have..very difficult to get it ported

what browser are you using and what firewalls do u have?

You didnt saw any thread related to that website because there is already a thread related to it in android themes section and it works on almost every rooted device so the blackout team will not be opening a new thread for every device in xda. Duplicate threads are not allowed in xda. In future , please dont go searching in the android apps section or in the themes section searching for an app or theme for posting it here saying " Oh I didnt find any thread related to it so I made a new one for it ".

this is not a duplicate thread it is a link that some may find useful. if it was not allowed i am sure the mods would have closed it or team blackedout would have complained. i have taken nor asked for credit in fact have stated such in the op. there are mods on these forums for a reason and we dont need trolls like yourself judging. if someone from team blackedout wishes me to remove the thread i will but until then it is here to share.

Couldnt be more wrong, before you post make sure you are clear on the rules yourself, Duplicate threads aren't allowed but its usually meant as in the same forum. There is nothing wrong with opening a thread in a different section and linking someones work as long as all credit goes to them, which it has.
I will be linking their work too in my new theme thread as it matches my theme layout and is useful. The only person to break rules is you, spamming someones thread with your pointless post. Now back on topic please.

[QUESTION] Touchwiz Launcher S5 !?! !?

Hi, how many of you are in possession of the firmware of the 'S5.
I wanted to ask the most 'experts:
To run the Launcher of 'the galaxy s5 on s4, in addition to' what other apk file you want? Can you tell me which framework or lib should I put in my phone?
THX

it would be good if it existed
Sent from my GT-I9500 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

If someone knew it, it would be here. How about stop asking for the same thing over and over again and just WAIT until it gets ported? Thread reported.

Patience dear. If someone has what you need, they can very well post in the first thread that you have created.
On that note, Thread Closed
