For all those Touchwiz fans out there, here I present the Samsung Galaxy S5 launcher, ported from a clone HDC S5 ROM made by Sixis Developer Team . I have only tested it on my Stock ROM, and it works without problems. I will also provide some other apps which I ported from the S5 ROM.
No need to flash anything. Only Root access is required in order to install the S5 Launcher.
How to install:
1. Download the SecLauncher2.apk from this link: https://db.tt/ULAxtzvM
2. Copy the SecLauncher2.apk to the /system/app folder using Root Explorer or any other file manager that supports root access
(If you are doing this on any Samsung device, you will probably be asked to confirm the file replacement. In that case, I would suggest you to backup the old SecLauncher2.apk with Titanium backup)
3. Change permissions to rw-r-r
4. Reboot phone.
Note: After reboot, you will probably be asked to select the Default launcher. Select Touchwiz Home and choose one of the two options. And there you go, your S5 Launcher is ready to go.
I have tested this Launcher on my MTK6589 device running on JB 4.2.2. It should work on any device. Please report any problem after installing the Launcher.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I guess its not working on Android M. Did you push it to the right directory? I think Android 6.0 does not use the same directory for launchers as the Jelly Bean. You can also try this launcher ported by dgrules. It worked for me, together with the widget, but I removed it cause you cannot apply static wallpaper, only scrollable:

It is because I themed my phone to look like S5 Kitkat. You can see that statsubar is different and all the icons are white, just like on Kitkat. If you want to theme the Statusbar, just install the xposed module called HK Theme manager, and download the S5 theme for Cyanogen mod. I can provide the link if you dont manage to google it.

I followed the steps exactly as described. Will try that one later. Thanks
You are welcome. One more advice: with root explorer open /system folder and look for a folder named priv-apps. I think that's where Android 6.0 stores the launcher. S5 launcher has to be placed in the same folder with your stock launcher.
I have a cubot x17 mt6735. I want to install it but it doesnt start i put it in priv apps and apps where the stock browser launcher3 was. Both not starting. What can i do.

Hi there,
I would like to present to You Iida Launcher which is a launcher from japanese phone Infobar A01. This is the video that shows how it looks:
Instalation and download link:
Here is the CWM package that I made with Launcher and its widgets just instal it via CWM (I tested it on i9000 and i9100 but it should work on ANY phone):
http://www.multiupload.com/TH7VSEACRU
In order to uninstall it just remove all "Iida....apk" from /system/app
There are now two themes for this launcher avaiable in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16748025&postcount=74
What is working:
-Launcher it self
-Weather Widget but it shows only weather for Japan
-Clock Widget
-RSS Widget
-Memo Widget
-Photo Frame Widget
-Calendar Widget
What is not working:
-E-Mail Widget
-Phone Widget
-All widgets not related to launcher
-Launcher sounds can be silenced only with other media sounds
-Other stuff I did not find
Developement:
Currently I can not work on this to make it more usable (i don't have time and I don't really now how) so
anyone who can and knows how to is welcome to work on this.
Things that needs to be done are:
-Fixing not working Iidia Widgets
-Adding the ability to add other widgets
-Making it more customizable
-Adding more languages support (Only English and Japanese now)
-Other ideas?
Here are some links that are essential for futher work:

Wow nice project
Thank u man
I hope it gets more devs attention. This launcher has a huge potential and is kind of unique.
Looks nice, reminds me of WP7, just a more lively version. WP7 is a little too plain, even though I'm using Launcher7 on my X2
Didn´t work with MIUI on SGSII.... Flashed, nothing happened.
Sometimes You have to choose Iidia Launcher for a couple of times to make it start. It is one of the things that makes it an alpha release.
Is the only way to use it by flashing or can it installed like a normal apk?
Which recovery do you use??(version number)

I doubt that but You can try. In order to make launcher working You would have to
install IidiaHome.apk and IidiaPrestetTheme.apk (It is launcher and theme without theme laucher won't work). If it does not work You can always push it manualy via adb or Root Explorer.

Launcher lookds great. Please continue to work on that
I Flashed it but its not there even checking the system/apps directory shows nothing so I tried to unzip and just install the apks but they all fail to install. I'm running a thunderbolt with A05PTH3ORY(modded cyanogen). This home screen replacement looks great and I really want to try it any ideas?
Try mounting /system in recovery before flashing

Thanks that worked perfectly.
I can help to translate this app in French if you want.
This is the launcher of my dreams. I wish someone talented works on this and makes it usable. I'm tired of iPhone clone launchers. We need original ideas like this. I wish I knew how to code Android apps so I could work on it.
is it possible to get a instable .apk which you can put with a file explorer to system/app ?
i 've tried to install the home .apk but it says me, that there is a parsing error :/
Mmmm... After reboot, the launcher doesn't work :/

Sorry.

Requirements: Every device with armv7 processor and froyo or higher
Overview: This is the twlauncher 4.5, actually the tw4 launcher from Samsung heavily modified by Fr4gg0r and Swiftwork.
Installation of Applications
First of all, your phone DO NOT have to be ROOTED! You will be able to install it without having rooted your phone, but you will miss some options.
Secondly, It is recommended to have another launcher installed (and defrozed)... this for avoiding a loop reboot and to be able to work, remove,... with applications.
Here are two choices :
1. simple put the .apk of the launcher in any folder of the phone and double-clic on it
2. follow this upper procedure :
if you do not have the TW4.5 installed (and have a Rooted Samsung phone or have touchwizz installed):
go in "system/app"
find "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk" and rename it to "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk.OLD"
find "TouchWiz30Launcher.odex" and rename it to "TouchWiz30Launcher.odex.OLD"
find "TWLauncher.apk" and rename it to "TWLauncher.apk.OLD"
find "TWLauncher.odex" and rename it to "TWLauncher.odex.OLD"
find any other file with "TW" and "Launcher" in the name and rename them with .OLD at the end
if you do not find this files (other phone or touchwizz not installed), don't be afraid... just skip this steps ![*]if you already have a version of TW4.5 installed :
go in "system/app"
find "TW4Launcher.apk" and rename it "TW4Launcher.apk.OLD" or simply delete it
copy the latest version of launcher you have downloaded in this folder, reboot it.
if you want to make a really clean new installation of your launcher, you also can rename "data/data/samsung.tw4.nextgen" folder in (for example) "samsung.tw4.nextgen.OLD", do the same for "sdcard/.TW4Themes" folder to "sdcard/.TW4Themes_OLD" (or delete it) and relaunch the launcher.
The new folder, with default settings, will be created.
Install by using tw4 manager
I can install it by using tw4 manager, and its working as well but the problem is that I can't use my whole home screen may be beacuse of galaxy note resolution...
Nice job there....
Just one query,can it be modified to work wih 240 dpi???
It kind of works but the most aggrovating part is not being able to add or remove dock icons... those 4 on the bottom... I want 5 but can't get it to work...

What problem are u experiencing ??
i am using touchwiz 4.5 from day 1 on the note and haven't faced any issues as such?
I used this for a while, the 5x5 dock icons can be added from within the app drawer. Unfortunately this needs to be modified for our notes, it does not include any of the note widgets and the extra downloadable ones, do not work.
I also had many FC, which is a shame as it adds a lot of features missing from TW.

Why date in thread's title? It's not twlauncher 4.5 for our GNote.
Hie friends... This is my first thread...so try this mod at your own risk...a little mistake can "soft-brick" your phone...:laugh: :cyclops: ..actually if you keep backup of your system apps then you don't need to take any kind of risk..lol .. sorry for my bad Eng.. .
This mod will make your note 95% look like running android 4.2.2..It will change the overall look of your android.. It doesn't add new features of 4.2.2 like air gestures and all..It will give you a fresh new look of Samsung stock android 4.2.2.
All the resources are extracted from leaked android 4.2.2 for note 8.0 and none other than..our galaxy s4. This mod is a combination of multiple modded apps.. It contains :
1. framework-res
2. seclauncher2
3. system ui
4. secsettings
5. accuweather (full including widget,main and daemon)..
6. build.prop... actually I've changed the device id to N71000.. coz samsung hub and all other latest samsung apps, goodies and updates are only available for note 2 and s3...not for our note 1.. :'( :'( ..so by making this trick you can get all that good stuff by samsung and play store. After all our note also deserves all these..
All these apps are perfect for "deodexed stock based DDLSC rom"...you have touchwiz like ui to make these apps work. odexed users can also try this mod by deleting the corresponding .odex files of secsettings.odex,systemui.odex and accuweather..I dont know these apps will work on preload..i have only tried in system apps.. maybe secsettings.apk will work on preload..so if you get force-close on settings move the settings to your preload...except that all apps can work system.
Installation guide..
First make backup of the listed apps above..
Install root explorer or any other explorer..go to system < apps and framework and copy all the mentioned apps and paste them in your external sd card or in your pc.
Download the full package file..(download link below) .
Paste it in your sdcard (external or internal...as your wish....but it should be displayed in cwm... lol.. ) .
Now boot in cwm and install the zip file.Wipe the cache after installation - optional (you should wipe it..bcoz sometimes your phone will wipe the smile from your face lol.. )
Enjoy stock android 4.2.2 on your note.
If anything goes unexpected .. open my zip file in you pc ..and then replace one by one all files with your backed up ones..and then put that zip folder in a sd card....insert sd card in phone then open cwm and flash it...you will revert back at your previous state..
Here is the download link

I downloaded your Files and extractet the zip file because any apps are in preload (SweetRom 10.5) then I placed them manually. After I rebooted my Note there was no Launcher so I installed a Launcher from PlayStore via my PC . So the SecLauncher2.apk not work but I replaced it with my old SecLauncher 2. On the whole it's a very good mod :thumbup: but I saw that the translation (see Screenshot ) is bad there must be stand "Nur einmal & Immer" in german but its not so terrible. Thank you
Okay... thanks for your precious appreciation..

Note 1: When you flash it, it will say a lot of things like "Hyperdroid Team" etc, its because I've used VR-Theme template from another mod because i didn't have time to make it myself.
Note 2: Flash his mod first, just to dont have any glitches with the UI.
Appreciate your work bro,but stock samsung 4.2.2 is not what you're claiming to be i suppose..
Reading your first post i expected to have tabbed settings(like touchwiz) and two finger gesture like pulldown..
Not discouraging but just got deceived by the 1st post,95% touchwiz 4.2.2 ..am i missing something?
All i can see changing is the statusbar becoming transparent with white text,settings,notification panel remain as it used to be on 4.1.2

I've already mentioned that it will not give you any features of 4.2.2 . It will only give you the new looks of 4.2.2.. You are talking about tabbed settings and two finger gesture pulldown...that are the features...but i am a themer...so i can mod only looks and themes..So this mod is only for changing your 4.1.2 touchwiz nd framework theme to 4.2.2
launcher moded from Xperia Z3
no framework changes required, just simply remove previous Home.apk from /system/app
and then either install like a normal apk (sometimes installer just keeps on going, somewhere around a minute or something it should be installed) or move to /system/app and set permissions as rw-r-r
Install No-Root Manually just like any other app
Caution : - Installing Manually Might Not get you Transparent statusbar and navbars (without home already in system)
Please Report All FC's/ bugs with screenshots/logcat if possible
This will work on most non-xperia devices as well
DO NOT FORGET TO WIPE HOME DATA
Workrs like Charm in Galaxy Grand2:good:

I totally agree with you regarding the misplaced dock icon on the home screen but I disagree with for making folders in drawer , just drag any app over the other one you will get a folder .

Ported - Tab 4 8.0 inch - 4.4.4 Touchwiz Launcher for Note 8
What's this?
Did you hear the news? Samsung just updated T-Mobile's Tab 4 (8 inch - 4.4.4 KTU84P T337TUVU1BNI8) to 4.4.4!. I got the firmware downloaded from sammobile, I extracted, odexed and then ported this baby over to our beloved Note 8 tablet. This is brand new ported TouchWiz Launcher from 4.4.4 KTU84P T337TUVU1BNI8. I also made animation much smoother, and a few other improvement. Plus, I am including SecTabletMyFiles2.apk from 4.4.4 as well.

In this version of launcher; same features with version 2.0, plus it now has Hide Apps/Shows Apps feature enabled.
Download Link : Moded_Tab4_4.4.4_SecLauncher3.v3.zip_by_Jazzespresso.zip
Install Instruction
This is NOT flashable, do not try to attempt to flash it thru recovery!. This is only deodexed Samsung stock ROMs version 4.4.X such as Civato's FlexBurst or FlexNote ROMs.
Steps:
Make sure you have other 3rd party launcher already installed (such as Nova, Apex launcher..etc) - free version available
Download zip package to your tablet and unzip it, and using root explorer, go to System--> priv-app folder and backup your current SecLauncher3.apk and SecTabletMyFiles2 (samsung's stock myfiles that come with it), and delete them. Repeat, you need to delete old ones.
Copy SecLauncher3.apk and SecTabletMyFiles2.apk comes with my package, and push it system\priv-app folder and give it 644 (-rw-r--r--) permission.
Go to Stettings, and application manager --> all, find touchwiz app, and clear data and cache and reboot your tablet.
Enjoy your brand new 4.4.4 samsung touchwiz launcher and new SecTabletMyFiles2.
Known issue/bug:
Setting up lockscreen wallpaper thru touchwiz (long press on blank screen and touchwiz setting set wallpaper for set lockscreen wallapaper) FCs.
Instead please use Settings --> Display--> Wallpaper --> Lockscreen. I am NOT considering this as major issue, just small bug that I can live with it. So please do not complain about it.
p.s: if some reason you don't like and like to switch to stock one, just delete this two and put back stock ones and reboot.
Usage:
If you want to use this PORT in your own ROM, you only have to give proper credits (and a thank you would be so nice too), just as a way of courtesy, and you do not need ask for permission, but it would be nice if you let me know if you are using it your own ROM and adding proper credits in your OP posting.
This is Brilliant. Downloading now ............
Thank you so Much :good: :victory:
Works Great.
Thank you very much.
But sorry if my question is stupid, is it possible to add "Phone" or other app replace "My files" in the left bottom of home screen?

Install Instruction
This is NOT flashable, do not try to attempt to flash it thru recovery!
Steps:
Make sure you have other 3rd party launcher already installed (such as Nova, Apex launcher..etc) - free version available
Download zip package to your tablet and unzip it, and using root explorer, go to System--> priv-app folder and backup your current SecLauncher3.apk and SecTabletMyFiles2 (samsung's stock myfiles that come with it), and delete them. Repeat, you need to delete old ones.
Copy SecLauncher3.apk and SecTabletMyFiles2.apk comes with my package, and push it system\priv-app folder and give it 644 (-rw-r--r--) permission.
Go to Stettings, and application manager --> all, find touchwiz home, and clear data, and cache and finally reboot your tablet.
Enjoy your brand new 4.4.4 samsung touchwiz launcher and new SecTabletMyFiles2.
p.s: if some reason you don't like and like to switch to stock one, just delete this two and put back stock ones and reboot.
Usage:
If you want to use this PORT in your own ROM, you only have to give proper credits (and a thank you would be so nice too), just as a way of courtesy, and you do not need ask for permission, but it would be nice if you let me know if you are using it your own ROM and adding proper credits in your OP posting.

resizing widgets are quite painful process, so don't expect that I will do anytime soon.

have you carefully read OP post? looks like not...
Known issue/bug:
Setting up lockscreen wallpaper thru touchwiz (long press on blank screen and touchwiz setting set wallpaper for set lockscreen wallapaper) FCs.
Instead please use Settings --> Display--> Wallpaper --> Lockscreen. I am NOT considering this as major issue, just small bug that I can live with it. So please do not complain about it.
is it possible to also port the settings app and the status bar menu and bar to the tab 4version ?
Launcher work perfect in stock Odex. Great job!!
Now, setting and status bar would be amazing.

For setting, you can try this if you are adventures enough - I would strongly recommend you to do full nandroid backup before you try this!
Download SecSettingsProvider.apk to your tablet's SD card from link below;
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001606446
In your tablet, go to root's system\priv-app, and make a back up of your current SecSettingsProvider.apk, and then rename current one like SecSettingsProvider.apk.backup.
Now, copy the one you download and push it to system\priv-app, and give permission to 644 and reboot your tablet.
and go settings and see...
Be warned that this has some bugs, one issue is multiwindow bar sometimes does not works... I still could not able to figure out why so.

for status bar, use S5 SystemUI theme exposed (search in XDA) or download it here :

Getting settings is though, but maybe getting System UI (status bars..etc..) would be possible
Nice work, but is it me or did i miss out something? My weather widget not in proper size. Thanks

Couple of things you can do here:
First option; try to go Settings --> Application manager --> All --> and locate the accuweather/weather app, click on it, and press clear data and clear cache. After that remove weather widget from home screen and reboot your tablet. And place the weather widget on your home screen and see it it is properly sized. If not, move on to second option
Second option; because we are using Tab 4's launcher, current accuweather/weather widget won't properly resized because that one is for stock TW launcher, therefore you need to find or hunt accuweather app from other Samsung devices, search in XDA and you will see there are many diffrent version for diffrent size, hopefully you will find one that fits nicely. If you think this is too much work, move on to third option
Third option; There's new Accuweather and Briefing Widget I ported from Tab 4 too, which I am using it and it has some additional features as well, so you can go here New Accuweather and Briefing Widget, and follow the install instruction.
