I doubt it will work
Samsung apps are designed to work with their touchwiz firmware
As your device doesn't have the touchwiz framework it won't be able to control any of the functions it is designed to do - hense it will just force close on launch
You would be better looking for an alternative app that does the same job in AOSP type builds
Yup just kept FCing

Hey everybody, I have tried to search around and I have found no luck, but does anyone know if they have ported the sense ui and can you load it on the captivate? maybe a dumb question i dunno but i figured i would give it a try.
Not yet. Mostly everyone has been working on the gps issues and lag fixes.
just use Launcher Pro and then find a .apk file for fancy widget (a copy of the clock), it's not sense, but its much snappier than the stock captivate launcher and it has some HTC like widgets in the paid version, I find it very functional ^_^
Ive tried several different launchers including launcher pro but i found that i like adw launcher the best. You can download a sense theme for it from the market. I previously had samset 1.5 & 1.8 installed which includes the clock widget. After i synced to app brain i was able to reinstall it after i flashed a different rom. This is pretty much my ui of choice. It has been running great, plus you can enable horizontal swipe in the app drawer via adw settings which i find to work more smoothly. Hope that might have helped some for the time being.

Thank You! I too have been looking for a version of sense for the Captivate. This does a good job of pulling off the over all look and feel!
Another vote for the paid version of Fancy Widget. Very customizable and can be made to look just like Sense.
Sense UI isn't just a skin or launcher like TouchWiz. It actually replaces a lot of stuff in the ROM and has its own framework. You can't just "add" it to a ROM. It IS the ROM. I don't think you'll have it running on Galaxy S phone anytime soon.

Not working:
1.camera
2.phone service
3.HTC usb menu (can be fixed with a script made by dexter, and smali to some jar's)
4.Turning of the device
5.HTC's hibernate mode
6.Lockscreen( pressing power to bring the phone from standby will not get a lockscreen after like 5min, plug the device to usb cable and it should bring the lockscreen up)
7.Other things i might have forgotten.

You don't get it do you. I posted the link where this was being looked at. I never stated it worked. Don't be so hung up on being right when in fact you aren't. This question is unnecessary and will be locked by a mod because the question has been answered.

Hi everybody,
Before the Nexus S, I'd the Samsung Jet, nice phone with a very good camera application, especially the panorama option.
Unfortunately, on the nexus the camera app is really simple, and I can not find a good application with panorama option.
So I've tried to install directly the camera.apk coming from the SGS2 on my phone, but it seems to be impossible :-(
Anyone knows how I can get it?!
I suppose that it's impossible to install the ROM of the SGS2 directly on the nexus that there are both Samsung's products....
Thanks
Nico
You can't. The Galaxy S2 uses TouchWiz.
TouchWiz 4 needs to be ported onto the Nexus S in order for the camera to work.
This is a PURE Google device.
Thanks for your quick answer
So I need to have TouchWiz 4, if I want to install the camera app....
But I though it was just a launcher, no?!

You need the touchwiz framework not only launcher which is not ported

No. That was not ported, that was just taken from the ROM and put on here. It was just a coincidence that the launcher doesn't rely on the Framework.
All of the Samsung code apps like Phone/Contacts/Browser/Camera/etc all use code from something known as a framework. Without that framework, it won't function. And the framework is specifically designed for THAT particular phone and won't work on any other phone.
The framework is also closed source. So it becomes complicated to port. Is it doable? Yeah.
Would I count on a dev to port it and make it fully working and fast? No.
If you dislike the stock camera, look for alternatives. MIUI Camera (apart of the MIUI framework, Camera 360 (app), etc.
Thanks a lot for your comments.
I've already tried others version of camera but I didn't find yet the good version.
Please switch to my new work:

Hi,
Trying the free version It looks nice but does the paid version:
- a way to hide apps?
- a way to sort apps?
Ok.... tried the paid version untill refund time. Sorting is there but hiding not. I would buy it if i could hide apps. The reason is that i also have some frozen system apps that i will never use. So there's no need to have their icon in cold launcher. Can this be implemented please?

Thank you! Will be glad to start using this as it is unique. It's only a clutter when i use it for the moment (because all those never used system stuff). Will buy it again.

You're really reasonable! compared with some my Chinese folks
I've just made the freeze/defrost function more stable and I want it to be flawless before adding new features. If you find any bugs report me any time.

Awesome !!! I like it !!! They are other launcher out there but they have themes, app stores and other crap and please don't integrate that features or bloatware. Just keep it simple !!! @richard el renthlei you could just download the CM 12 launcher from Google and sideload it to your device and its' ok.

hello

and can you make an freeze exclude app list to select some important apps to be always unfrozen
Congratulations for your fabulous creation.
Please fix the stutters & expand compatibility for all other widgets & not only Google's widgets as below:

Hello
Can anyone name an alternative launcher
With the same functions?
I can't enter the option on pie or noga rom
It force close
My phone is rooted and I'm tinkering a bit- what are some good launchers to replace touchwiz? Cheers!
NOVA Launcher and Action Launcher.
Both will give you more options in the paid version and both are well worth the money you'll spend on it.

Can I then delete touchwiz? I mean, I have an app that removes anything from my phone as it's rooted.
No you can't. You have to install a custom ROM to completely remove touchwiz. Thus means you wil also lose your Spen functions and you multi window and fingerprint scanner. Now most of these have other options within AOSP ROMs so you can get some them back but it takes quite a bit work to do so. If you are new here, try a launcher first.
After having any other launcger in system folder you can completely remove touchwiz from system.
Not without serious consequences for the functionality of the phone. Please do some homework before deleting TOUCHWIZ altogether. I not saying you shouldn't. Many people love AOSP ROMs and remove touchwiz asap. But first now what your are chosen for.
The site galaxynote4root.com has some videos available about what I'd AOSP and the benefits/costs of going for it with a device as the note 4.
hey all
So I recently got myself a Nexbox A95x to play with, hardware is really nice, looks sleek, then I turned it on.. The first thing that hit me is the launcher UI is horrible.
To cut a long story short, I've looked on the Play Store and I can't seem to see any launchers that look anything close to the UI experience of Google's Leanback launcher so I'm wondering what you guys recommend as the launcher for one of these types of boxes?
Also, is there any apps you use to be notified on your TV when you get an sms or whatsapp etc?
I should also note I'm a dev, and I'm seriously considering building something better than what I've currently found out there so far so I'm interested to know if I've missed something or if the state of TV ui apps atm really is lacking..
You could try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awe.dev.pro.tv
Once it been set-up, it's very good. You can change artwork of apps and rearrange with ease.
Does this replace original launcher? Or does it act app like? Does it start itself when booting android TV?
I know this thread is old but I recently purchased the A95X and wanted to share my thoughts for anyone who may find this in the near future.
The A95X isn't the greatest box by any stretch but the TV Launcher linked here has made this box worth using. I've been looking for a way to sideload the Google Android TV Launcher but this device is not listed as compatible with the play store listing. Still searching for that but in the mean time, TV Launcher is a quality app that does run app like but you just set it as the default launcher and it starts when you boot the box. I recommend it.

you can use cetusplay from playstore.. inside cetusplay there is app section from which leanback launchers can be installed..
but for some reason google leanback launcher not showing recommendations.
I will also suggest you to use HAL launcher.
