Touchwiz4.5 for SGN

Hey Peeps ,
So i am trying to Mod the Touchwiz4.5 launcher to somehow make it better for our SGN ...
The things on my priority list are
1. ability to hide the status bar
2. getting bigger icons ....
I've tried to make the icons bigger (see attached pic) and now need to somehow change the code to be able to hide the status bar ......
Will share if i have any news at all....

Can you make an alphabetic sort possibility ?

One useful feature if possible is to lock desktop icons..I find this very useful as in apex launcher etc..another feature is to increase number of screens to like 15 ...some may find this strange but I like to have many pages/screens...thanks

It would be great !!

It would be awesome to have touchwiz launcher 4.5 on our Note.
It is very fast and responsive compared to the stock one

You can do that with the help of an app from the Play Store/Market, called Appzorter.

Umm correct me if i am wrong but i think Appzorter only works with the stock touchwiz4.0 and not with 4.5 ....

Icon Size
Guys ,, the icon size(App Drawer) in the attached image on the first post ,,ur opinion ,,,, is that too big or just about ok?

Sounds stupid but coming to touchwiz. Biggest thing that annoys me is not being able to move the app draw icon to thr middle. And also the folders open massive. Even with 2-3 apps in

I know, I mean for the mean time if h/she's using TW 4, they can use Appzorter to alphabetize the apps.

Any news on the modded TW4.5 launcher? Really loved it on all my android devices a port would be great .

I´m really missing the landscape mode on TW. Is there any possibility to apply an hack for it?!

Try litening rom it has TW working also in landscape and really smoothly ! Envoyer depuis mon galaxy note . .

[PORT][4.0+] MoToBlUr LaUnChEr eXtreme

Hopefully nobody got to porting this before
You may think this another ORDINARY launcher. You are wrong. It is far smoother, and provides a special quick settings page so that you don't have to go to the app every time you want to turn on/off GPS. Cool, right?
Works with 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, you know....
Works with phones and tablets (and phablets )
So, with those words, I bring to you MY MOTOBLUR LAUNCHER. Taken from the ATRIX HD.
If you have problems, install it as a system app, and wipe cache and dalvik cache, and fix permissions. Don't report bugs till you follow the last three steps... the first is optional (install as system).
Just the launcher

Well, after you install it, you press the home button and select the launcher, or "desktop" and choose Homescreen. Then you'll have a whole new experience with your GS3.

Its built on the ICS framework, so no, it won't work on Gingerbread and you can't port it.
Sent from that Atrix.

Hai all. I really like this launcher but when i try put 3d clock problem loading widget appears . Any idea how to fix that ? I try reinstall weather&3d clock but same happens. Sorry 4 my bad eng .

Thanks, works well, installed with no issue as others say, just installed the apk's, can't go wrong. Its pretty basic, like the circle clock (swipe up/down to change) and weather but that's it, nothing special, just another nova/apex/trebache etc. cheers

Nova Launcher on Android 4.4 KitKat?

Hello Geeks!
I'm sure a lot of you have Nova Launcher on your N4s, and if you're like me; you can't wait to get your hands on 4.4 KitKat.
Does anybody out there know if TeslaCoil will have to release a newer version of Nova optimized for 4.4 or will it already be compatible as soon as 4.4 gets rolled out to our devices? I'd rather wait for it to be optimized rather than get 4.4 and be Nova-less for a week or 2.
In addition: my friend Tony just ordered the Nexus 5. will Nova Launcher be compatible with his device right out of the box?
Anybody with info please lemme know. I'm fine with putting 4.4 off for a few weeks until I know FOR SURE that I can have Nova Launcher on top of the new tasty OS.

I don't know the answer however, one thing that sucks for Nova Launcher is that the Google Experience launcher is not open source. That means Nova can't keep that stock launcher look on 4.4.

Nova is based on the AOSP launcher so I don't think that will be helpful. There is still a AOSP launcher in the KitKat code but I don't know if they are maintaining it anymore.

No not yet, not sure what Nova plans are. But I'm sure they'll come up with something in the upcoming days

Uhhh because the stock launcher is extremely uncustomizable? Nova can be very simple and look almost exactly like a stock launcher, but the amount of options it has are immense. I'm currently using the Google experience launcher and I really miss nova. Sticking with it for now though.

I see what your saying, I love the gestures and the nova actions, but the Nexus will be my first phone that is already stock. I think I will try stock before I use nova.

More customization than stock launcher like the static google search in <4.3, # of rows/columns, icon packs, etc.
Nova is based off AOSP Launcher anyways. So you're practically getting the stock launcher + added goodies. Of course this will be different with 4.4 in terms of the Google Now but I'm sure Nova will implement that someway.

Plus you can add gestures. Like if I swipe up on the phone icon I have it set up to direct dial my gf. Or a swipe up on home page opens app drawer. And you can backup your setup so if you flash Roms you can have your home screen set back up in seconds

When I get mine I'll probably try the same. Only thing is icons... That's all I really want to change.

I think it will be a little more difficult for custom launchers on 4.4 because of the integration of the launcher and Google now.
I don't see how they could integrate Google now into the left swipe or the "ok Google"command working from all home screens. This link shows my reasoning.

Actually that's one of the reasons why I use custom launchers: To get rid of Google Search, Google Now, and "always on" voice commands.
I don't need these anyway and as a bonus get longer battery life (by completely disabling Google Search).

I would happily use the 4.4 launcher if you could remove the persistent search bar, which does nothing but get in the way. Its seems utterly pointless given that you can open search a number of other ways almost instantly.

If you say "Ok Google" while on the home screen, does it launch the voice search like it does on the stock kitkat launcher ?

[Q] Touchwiz ROM/Theme for Nexus 5

Is there any way to have a look of Settings, Statusbar and some apps like dialer / messenging like this in Touchwiz ROM? Is there any Theme for it ? Or port od TW? (I don't mean all S - features, just a look)

Agree. I have samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0. And one od the reason why I won't get the samsung for my handphone is because I don't like the touchwiz.

Nothing surprises me anymore though when the top trending themer theme is iOS7

Hi,
If it's just about the look... Find a rom that supports Theme Chooser (like CM) and install a theme like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thomassafca.theme.touchwiz&hl=fr (there is anothers).
Obviously that "the tastes and colours"...
