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.

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.
I ran across this one day, and i liked it since my phone used to run 2.2.1 until i got a custom rom. The launcher is fast, smooth, elegant, and takes up a small amount of ram. I liked it and I would like to share it with the community, this should work with all phones.

I am new & this is my first post. I have spent all weekend reading these forums and installing mods - GB & ICS. What I would like... is to be able to use Time Warner Cable 's TV app for Droid which allows me to watch cable TV and manage my DVR *and* use my Online Banking app to deposit checks. Both these require that the device not be rooted and TWC TV requires ICS. Is there a way to unroot an ICS ROM that is currently on my rooted phone - while still keeping all the themes/apps etc that the rooted MOD gives me (except SU,) and if so, how do you recommend I go about doing this? (It doesn't appear that using something like OneClick is going to do this for me.) I have gone from Froyo to rooted GB, Infinitum's ICS 1.1.1, then to UCLB3-CWM and would like to try ICS again...
Is there a way to take a ICS mod and install it in such a way that it appears as UNrooted stock ICS yet keeps the perks (except SU) ?
Thanks for your time and thoughts... Jami
Welcome... there is not any way to be unrooted and have ics on the infuse at the same time. Sorry, I know that is not the answer you were wanting to hear. Regards.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Actually...I think it is possible to have an unrooted ics Rom...most have it built in already but what gives the Rom root is "Su" and "superuser"
1) Get a Rom
2) Open it up with 7zip or another archive program
3) go to /system/xbin and delete the file named "Su"
4) go to /system/apps and delete the apk named "superuser"
5) put the modified Rom on your phone (I say modified cause you deleted two files)
6) flash like normal in recovery...follow instructions from the Roms op
If my theory is correct you should now be on ics with out root...ill be getting my infuse any minute now (or hour...) And ill be able to test it myself if you don't want to...you do risk getting bootloops by deleting the above files...you may also lose some of the ics Roms functions...

Theory appears sound and correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds like the OP wants the functionality of a phone that is both rooted (TWC app) and unrooted (all other apps mods themes that require root)...not simply unrooted ICS.
It appears to me that a choice needs to be made between running rooted for one app or unrooted for everything else the OP wants.
There is another thread floating around here on the Infuse board about the TWC app requiring an unrooted phone. I saw it few days ago...someone there may have found a solution.
Sent from a de-FUNKed Infuse
Thanks MG- it was the likely loss of some functionality that would not allow the 2 apps that she wants to perform, was the reason for my answer. I hope you are right, although I will feel terrible about giving someone a wrong answer.

I know the newest version of superuser has an option to temporary unroot. Not sure if this would work for the apps you are asking about but I'm assuming it was added for situations like this.
You just open the app and swipe over to the info tab, which is on the fat left I believe. Then there is a check box for temp unroot.
Hope this helps bc it would def be the easiest solution.

SuperSU and I think superuser both have options to disable root. If its a Cyanogen based ROM, there's another option to disable root in the settings menu.

When I go to the app info of Superuser, it says version 3.2. I am on jb tho so that may b the difference. I'm using the version that came with CM10.
Thought the option was there on the newest version when I was on ics too tho but not 100% sure.

Well...if you want, I can make a flashable root package...as in all that will be flashed is su and superuser...re-enabling root, so you could delete both su and superuser with a root file explorer when you need unroot and when you need root just flash the root package...kinda time consuming and a pain if your gonna be using those apps often...but its an option...
But yeah, the disable root option is available in my htc vivids superuser which is running ics...so try that first, or some of the other listed suggestions...

Interesting.. good find / may be workable for OP's needs.
Wow - thanks for all the replies!
Given all the advice, and considering my options - I think the way to go is to see if I can use a stock ICS rom (if that exisits - un mod'ed) on my Infuse. So I'll forgo the extras of a mod but I will be able to get the TWC TV app & the Banking functionality I want. Thanks to Smokestack's comment I did some more poking around and found a link to the hacked TWC TV apk for rooted phones and tablets in case anyone's interested. That's nice but it only gets me half way there.
Would anyone like to recommend a stock or almost stock ICS that I can use for my Infuse? Then I will take MG2195 directions and put them to the test Thanks, Jami
that's a kind offer but I'm hoping to either find a rom without SU or one I can turn SU off entirely on.

Very true, not going to complain too much and all I had to do was drop a few files. I renamed all the other folders/files it was supposed to overwrite so all is good, didn't need to take a nandroid or anything. Pretty nifty feature to have and takes stock rooted one step closer to JB.

Cool, but with mine, the winterboard doesnt see the cydia app and continues to ask me to reboot.
I think the rom i am using has been modded in a different way all together.
Last time i flashed a boot animation with CWM recovery only to see that it didnt work. So i guess its the rom.
About the boot animation it might have been a flash able zip for aosp based ROM. Sense ROMs have it in a different location. U don't need to flash it u could change it manually using a file explorer. I don't remember where exactly its located but u can Google boot animation location sense ROM and then just delete then copy paste with the correct name

It could be a problem with sense. Try a AOSP rom.
