Touchwiz apex/nova theme - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I found this in Play Store, and it works great on my nova launcher. This theme will make changes to your icons to look like the S3. It also has a lot of good looking wallpapers too. I am using on aokp rom. Just wanted to share this. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.photox.touchwhiz

Does anybody have the apkfile of that cuz my Gio bugs around with downloading it from playstore. It always stops downloading at a random percent, Im using Android 4.2.2 CM 10.1
I hope someone can give it to me Thanks

I had the same problem on CM10, I just disabled the download manager, started it back up, and it started acting right again. I'm not sure if that's what helped or not. Lol

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.

Infuse Roms?

Hello everyone i just signed up and i own a Samsung Infuse 4G and ive been flashing some roms on it lately and i want to know in your opinion what is the best rom.
i tried zeus, and i like it but i hate build 5.2 and build 6, because of the fact that wallpapers do not scroll. live wallpapers do, but static ones do not. I love build 3 fixed for ZEUS because it has scrollable wall papers and the app drawer is transparent. i dont like the black background when looking through my apps i like it see through.
but, being build 3 it freezes quite a bit. i tried CM7, didnt like it. i want to try something else.
I hate flashing roms and testing them because every time i restore it gives me an error saying "No sdcard/.android.secure Found. Skipping restore of SD card apps." so i have to re install 1 by 1 the apps with titanium backup and its really annoying. once i reach my 10 post mark i will start to post in the developers thread but this is all i can do now.
in a rom in need stability, no freezing no non working elements, all that.
clean, simple and crisp.
no dumb animations to lag the os and use mass ram. clean simple and fast. id even use gingerbread with touchwiz 4.0 like on the samsung galaxy s 2 skyrocket LTE that has a very good stock OS. maybe there is a way to put that on my infuse? I want to try s.u.r.f.a.c.e. rom but that's a hard way to flash it
any suggestions?

You can always Port your own ROM. Just saying.
If all you don't like about ZEUS is the launcher's look, then you can use one of the alternative launchers available off Market... err Play... or whatever Google is calling its new and improved more privacy breaking app download thing.
Off hand, the two I can think of are GOLauncher and PhoenixLauncher. I currently use GOLauncher on ZEUS and like it quite a bit, plus it's free. I think I'm going to give PhoenixLauncher a go after some of the bugs are worked out.

I agree, and also I'd recommend GoLauncher as I use it on Zeus build 5.2 and love it. Give it a Try!
I don't like those launchers iv tried them, I like touch wiz 4 which Zeus build 3 has, so I am using this for now.

Yerp on the surface rom...super lite...has lots of add on apps...smooth,stable....
The reason that wallpapers don't scroll is a SAMSUNG issue, not a Zeus issue, a change they made in the new gb leaks, so they wont change, on any rom built from that leak. Build 3 is no more and outdated, so if you don't want another launcher I suggest keeping build 3 because I removed it from the server. And tw 4 is way too buggy and unstable, that's why it was removed and will not return.

Alright thanks,
And now I understand that about Zeus,
But anyway great job with it its still an awesome rom. I'll try to flash s.u.r.f.a.c.e

Well I'm currently running Z.E.U.S Rom Build 6. When I was stock GB (for the short time that was) I used the TouchWizz 4.5 Launcher, and I'm using it now. Scrollable wallpapers plus you can flash icon themes. Here is the XDA Thread Link:

From what i understand...its bad to restore all apps from TB, as some may not be compatible with other roms due to missing or added files
At least if your restoring the data part too

i get a force close just leaving the market after the install. syndicate ics launcher = phoenix launcher
I'm running NexusMod 4. After I installed the launcher and got a lot of FC.
Same here... got lots of FC's and when I first installed it, I actually got a soft reboot, and I'm on a rooted stock rom. Not too much customization either. It doesn't, however, looks pretty great, but it's a bit buggy. Switched back to GoLauncher.

[ROM][CWM] Newest ICS UCLD2 leak - new: Facebook/Sammy KB Patch available!

Big thanks to designgears from rootzwiki for this leak & ks0 for bringing it to my attention:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23105-i727ucld2/
I'm from the T989 side. I was pretty excited for this, turned it into a CWM so enjoy
There are no T989 specific tweaks at all on this. I didn't change anything but what I say below.
*THIS IS A STOCK BUILD...with all AT&T and Samsung software UNTOUCHED*
I took it, extracted it (<3 WinHex), and turned it into a CWM flashable ZIP.
Aside from that, I added root and busybox to it.
Its fresh...built April 7
I have nowhere to host it...so here is a torrent.
If you can mirror it that would be good.
Initial downloading may be slow since I'm the only seeder for now.
(update: +2 more )
UPDATE
Flash these two fixes after flashing this ROM but before booting:
Root fix - Ignore the error after flashing this...then just go into Superuser and update after bootup
The attached UCLD2FontHotfix.zip to fix Facebook and Samsung keyboard
Run Fix permissons after flashing the above 3 fixes ^^
Cheers

At the bottom of the keyboard u will see a little keyboard icon tap it u will see a popup with 3 icons tap the one all the way to the right, the full keyboard.

Ok so... I would dl this apk, install it; if I get a constant fc, reboot or pull battery... so after reboot with no status bar, am I to go into clockwork mod and "fix permissions" then reboot again? Just want to be certain before I do it. Again thanks, rom is great with all the nuances of ics/jb... just kinda seems also like battery life has slipped a little too... I was running vanilla cm7 with mazout's kernel before skyrom.
