[APP][MOD] (not so) Faster (and buggy) TouchWiz Launcher [XXLE4]

I saw a lot of comments about how slow the new TouchWiz launcher is, so, because I had already downloaded the ROM, I want to try something.
I'm not using this ROM, so I don't know if it works, let me know.
This is the new launcher, don't be fooled by its name, that's how Samsung named it.
It should be uglier than the unmodded one, but it should be as ugly as the one from Gingerbread, unless Samsung used more transparencies and fancy shades this time (transparent widget should be affected by this change too). Here the explanation.
_______________
Downloads in the next post.
Note:
If you are not familiar with adb, I suggest you to install an alternative launcher first, then copy /system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk somewhere safe, for example in your SD card. In this way, if something goes wrong, you can always start the second launcher and restore TouchWiz30Launcher.apk with a file manager.
At least until someone tries the two zips to restore the unmodded launcher.
No launcher, no way to launch apps

Downloads [apk + flashable files]
There are 4 flashable zips, two of them restore the original TouchWiz launcher.
Read the name of the file, fasterTouchwiz-odexed.zip obviously is for odexed, fasterTouchwiz-deodexed.zip for deodexed.

fasterTouchwiz is here.
(the only one I'm sure it will work is fasterTouchwiz-odexed-restore.zip)
(and BTW this is the launcher from XXLE4)

Well I just flashed the deodexed file, and apply with CW and working EXCELENT!!! Good job my friend!!!.
I have the Clean Rom by Luiseteyo V3.1.... So now I have 2 lanchers!!!!.....
Thks very much!!!!
Edit: Its no smooth as the holo launcher but work very very fast....

I tried on xxkpq. But force closes.

I really don't know how this new TouchWiz launcher is, anyway, I explain what I did in this mod.
(I wanted to know first if this really changes something)
Basically this new TouchWiz launcher uses 32bit transparency, or at least that's what I can see decompiling it:
Code:
<bool name="config_force32BitWindowAlways">true</bool>
What I did was to put that boolean value to false.
32bit transparency makes everything better too look, but it also slow down the UI. Without it, you should see some bands in trasparent backgrounds, it's the little price to pay to have a smoother interface. (In Gingerbread the default setting is 16bit, so you should see these bands)
@vishal
I think there are too many differences. Samsung apps use their own framework (twframework-res.apk) and probably this launcher needs the new framework. I don't think you can simply replace it with the new one. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know anything of this ROM.
Anyway, if you want to see how much this little change can do, you can enable 32bit transparency in GO launcher (it's somewhere in the settings, I can't remember exactly where, maybe it's called "high quality drawing". It's not the same thing, because they are two different launchers).
@machotecba
Thanks for trying this. I'm glad to hear that it works.

TouchWiz30Launcher? Wasn't it TouchWiz4? Will test right now. Thanks for ur work

I tried this in and there seems to be a lot of performance increase.... As always, your mods are simply incredible...

Can I ask a question? Could you port the 14 toggles for Deodexed and the extended menu for this rom? I tried and I could not, well I must learn / read more for that....

I don't think I'll do it now, maybe in the future. I did this one simply because it was fast and easy to apply.
If you want to try again, here I posted the links of some tutorials.
Anyway I think that sooner or later these mods will be ported to this ROM and if I'm not wrong, someone had already ported something, I can't remember where are the links, maybe in XXLE4 thread.

Hey losnosc!! I am using the tested 'n' worked version, but i have a little issue: when press home, the screen goes black during a 500 msecs and then goes desktop. It's normal??

Tested, but not by me
I think that the problem is that there's a transition application->desktop that does a large use of transparencies and because of the 16bit what should be semi-transparent is solid.
It's just a guess, I flashed this ROM for 5 minutes just to fix the WIFI, I didn't even try this mod.
If that's the problem, I could change this behaviour.
So let's try something (this one too is a guess, I don't know if it works or if I changed the correct thing): fasterTouchwiz-experiment-deodexed.zip
(flash the old zip in case of problems)
___
EDIT: Samsung could have at least changed this
Code:
const-string v0, "GT-I9000"

with Cm9 there in no reason to use samsung roms!

Thks for the link... Itried and well I get the extended menu... but it´s no fully functional yet.... Proof and error... Im afraid... :good: . One thing... Im not a dev... only a curious guy who want to learn about android and the samsumg phone.
Well I did it!!!. The extended menu is functional. But I must try more and do more test.... So.... Ill hope soon got the flashable file.....

I do like it very much. But the thing is the roms I use doesn't have it when u choose the stock look theme provided by thrm, (sometimes their themeing is ugly and Vey colorful ! I prefer stock big and simple notification icons)
So a separate CRT zip would be a great help, I think I'm not the only one wishing for this

For the Gingerbread ROM's i always did em myself using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24370886#post24370886
But since ICS came its harder because if you only modify the framework.res.apk file you end up with CRT effect and straight after it the screen blinks and then goes off.
For ICS you also need to mod some other files but my android skills are like zero so im stuck too....

this is the correct link, I've figured that i'll just add "l" at the end. I haven't tried this yet but if you do, can you please report back if it's working? Most of the crt-off mods will make your screen flicker right when turning it off(i.e. the screen will turn on for a split second after locking/turning off the device)hope it doesn't happen on this one

If you could upload your framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from /system/framework,I would make one for you When I'm free.I ask you to upload your frameworks because to keep your theme the same.

Doesn't work on CleaNote V5 .
Right after the boot splash, the screen goes black. Need to go into Recovery by force (3 button combo) and reflash the ROM...
-----
Why should we put it in the internal SD? I keep all my flashables on the external SD (Serioux 16GB class 6) and never had any troubles...
Some people also recommended using the internal to flash from rather than external, on the Motorola ATRIX.
Any particular reason why? Scientific explanation

Just as I said,did it in hurry so might have something wrong but there is nothing to do I fear.just a change of bool to trigger crt.Just try to remove the lib file from /system/lib in the zip and flash.Lets see if It has caused the problem.

As far as I know, that libsurfaceflinger is required, otherwise you get the flicker...

So there will never be a working crt for 4.0.4 LR6?

So Sammy puts so much work in the frameworks for every (small, I'd say) update? CRT animation was flickering even on 4.0.3 (XXLQ3 - RocketROM) and 4.0.4 LRK and LR6. I know CRT is tricky on ICS in general or so devs say?

deodex stock rom

hi
i'd like to know how i can deodex my stock rom
i have a razr hd xt925
thanks

inb4: Sorry for posting in old Thread.
Same Question here, would be great to have stock deodexed.
Hope you can help me

If you don't plan on doing any themeing, there is absolutely no reason to deodex. There is no battery saving, or speed increase by doing it. Most of the time you only need system ui and framework res deodexed to do any simple themeing and mods.
Anyway, when I get back to a computer I'll post a link to the tool I use.

I have a Xperia E-1504 rooted stock .23 firmware.
I need help on how to customize the working of the illumination bar in my phone?
Some one suggested BusyBox in another thread but I don't have a single clue!!
I would appreciate if someone could help me out. I have uploaded some files, check them out if they are related to the illumination bar. If some one needs any file for the ILLUMINATION BAR to work please don't hesitate to ask!!!!
Note-I mod my phone manually so please no flashing tutorials!!
Thanks

Uhm, I don't know how to this, but I think you'll need more than just one file. A lot of files are involved with the led and the notifications. Perhaps there is an app for this, but my guess is that this would be pretty hard if not impossible!
Note: I'm not an expert in this stuff, just guessing here. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

maybe to control the light....turn on & off,message alert,flash while ringing (it'd be cool)
it will come in handy more for cm10/11

Yeah an app would be useful and if anyone needs any files please just ask, I'll upload them ASAP, for the illumination bar control so that DEVs could develop something and everyone can customize the bar!!

That file can be found when you decompile the kernel.elf.
Kernels are dangerous to mess with! Plus you need a ton of experience to work with kernels and make big changes.

Obviously you won't find it! It's in the kernel so you have to decompile the kernel to get it.

As you may know that Android was developed for the xperia e by a different company, therefore it might be different to all others. If you must know that you can scan the system/lib folder to see which one is for the illumination bar. That might help

I found out today that SemcIllumination.apk is used on other phones to control the illumination bar.
If anyone has this APK (especially DEVs), either mod it and upload it or just upload it for the DEVs to work their magic!!!
I am also searching for it, and thinking of getting the APK from my friend's Xperia SP and I'll upload it tomorrow(for the DEVs) and try to install it too!!
And by the way which company developed Android for Xperia E? Please let me know ASAP, then I'll email them and ask them how should I control the Illumination Bar.!!!
Thanks a Lot!!

I going to get it done. Even if it takes months. I am already learning JAVA at college, and from tutorials over the internet, I'll learn it and then modify the app. It is a long shot but its worth it.
I'll also be uploading the app from Xperia SP or Xperia L maybe both by tomorrow for the DEVs. And what about the Illumination bar API released by sony?? Can't it help somehow??

[MOD] Keyguard Plus - with Xperia Blinds & Particles 1.0 [.108/.157]

Like Keyguard Plus? Consider donating!
So this is a rather heavily customized Keyguard, taken from Xperia Z3 (some Xperia Z3 exclusive features had to be removed, like One Time Pass and Bluetooth Unlock), and brought to Xperia Z1, and it was modified purely by editing Smali code. This probably will work on Z1s too, not sure.
This mod removes the "Change lockscreen wallpaper" option in Personalization settings and adds some customization to the main lockscreen, see screenshots.
This is only intended for 14.4.A.0.108 and 14.4.A.0.157, because it replaces your firmware2.jar file, which is different in every firmware version.
More versions will be added later.
You may use it in your custom ROMs, no need to ask my permission!
BEFORE YOU FLASH:
* Tested only on Xperia Z1 14.4.A.0.108 and 14.4.A.0.157.
* Works on deodexed ROMs only!
* This mod does NOT work well with GraviryBox's lockscreen mods, so turn "Lock targets" off (I'll add my own Lock targets feature in the next version).
* You must have "app/ExperienceFlow2LiveWallpaper.apk" for "Xperia (Particles)" to work! (In Xperia Z1 it's there by default so no worries)
HOW TO INSTALL:
1) If you are using deodexed stock ROM, add these lines to build.prop (this is VERY important!): ( Thanks a lot @niaboc79 )
Code:

2) Backup and delete "app/XpeiaLockScreen.apk" (on stock/custom ROMs) OR "app/LockscreenSettings.apk" (on some custom ROMs)
3) Backup "priv-app/Keyguard.apk" and "framework/framework2.jar" in case of any failure.
4) Flash one of the attached packages (according to your firmware version).
5) After flashing, wipe Cache and Dalvik-Cache!

This seems nice. Some screenshots of the modded lockscreens would be nice, if I'm not asking for too much. Thanks anyway!

Well basically it's just the stock lockscreen or the blinds lockscreen (from older Jelly Bean versions) or the normal particle effect lockscreen. There's nothing visually different (unless you set it in the settings). Most of the changes are under-the-hood, it's in the code.

I'm surprised you actually tried to flash it on 14.4.A.0.157 firmware, while this package replaces your framework2.jar with a modified one from 14.4.A.0.108. Obviously it would crash. I'm on 108 myself so I'll update when I got the time. It's just a side-project after all.

Good, bro!
Well working on mine, romAur9.1(108 firm). Anyway, I found an issue regard camera on lock screen, which isn't work and shows System UI reboot. Couldn't get logcat (sorry), but I think Blind might make this failure.

Hi mate,
I'm having problem with this mod, everytime i try to enter the lockscreen settings i get systemui fc. Currently running .108 with modified systemui (transparent notification panel and different number of quick setting in a row is what is touched). I have attached a log file, hope it helps.
Thanks!

java.lang.VerifyError means that the method signatures found at runtime did not match what was there at compile-time. Do you have a stock framework-res.apk / framework.jar? It seems like your log has many errors. Might be related.

My framework-res contains advanced framework mod, hwere you get sony iu on other apps, the same goes for framework.jar as it seems to take place in the same mod. I'm thinking that these two mode are not compatable.

It's just that you can't compile this mod against any possible framework mods. The error log doesn't specify what exactly failed to verify there, unfortunately.
Even though I'm pretty sure that I'm using Advanced Framework too.

I see, i'll start over and will do some research to see what will go wrong starting from fresh .108. Will eventually post to say what's wrong.
Thanks again.

No progress so far.
Could you send me your framework files and systemui as well? I couldn't flash stock .108 for some reason so i'll be trying different approach.
Thanks in advance!

I'm talking about the mode that switches all the connections (3G, wi-fi, etc.) off when you're in an airplane so your phone wouldn't mess with plane's equipment.
Look at the attachment. Turn it on and then off to see if your systemui fc.

Guys this is a very experimental app, and all mods were done manually with no error checking (Smali has a very minimal error checking), so if something was missed in the coding process take it with understanding. I have very little time to work on this project but I'm getting to it.

Yeah I know what airplane mode is.
I didn't try that, I uninstalled the whole thing.
