Hi Every One
I have a Question and i also need a solution
Question
Today i saw a guy showing his Galaxy S2 to someone he had some unique lancher or tweak on his stock Rom,i Couldnt ask but i saw him
* Opening application just by gestures from side of screen
* It Had Mac like animated Dock on the top
* Pages had slide animations,not like touchwiz
I want to ask is there an app like that? or its a typical launcher?
Solution?
I Have Galaxy Note i find it slower than my Older S2,So i was thinking if some one knows any better launcher which uses less ram like the one he had (Mentioned Above ^) or any of ICS rom or any other rom closer to stock which can fix laggy Transition issue's on galaxy note
(More on this Galaxy Note issue in my this post :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521829)
Please let me know if i am posting in wrong section,but i think as my question is much more important here and its about having that app on any android phone so i posted it in Android(Or should i post it Galaxy Note or S2 section too ?, That would be wrong right?)
Looking forward to your kind replies

Hi, I am new to Android. I bought Galaxy S2 y'day. when the phone is locked, i have a wallpaper(image) and i have slide to unlock it.
In the other android phones in the stores i have seen a lock screen with slider (like the iPhone one) How can i get them?
Also where can i find good themes for Galaxy S II?
Thanks for your support
The S2 has Samsungs own lockscreen instead of the default android one (The slider). Give it time and someone will probably port it. Also the 'Themes and Apps' sub-forum might be a good start for some themes
You can get using widgetlocker. You have to pay for it but it is way better than the default lockscreen
Thank you guys. I will wait This is my first android phone. hence curious to learn/do all sort of things
beginners enthusiasm
I have posted a simular thread concerning the lock screen and would also love an aftermarket lock screen to replace the default one

Hi guys, i want to buy a Samsung Galasy S3 but sincerly i don't like so much the Touchwiz GUI so i wonder if someone can say me if there is a way in order to delete Touchwiz with a Custom Rom or other way... I also wonder if someone can say me if the timestamp message is time of Message Sent or Message recive i explain well because my english isn't perfet (i'm italian) if i have phone power off and someone send me a message at 6:00pm, when i puwer on phone at 8:00pm and i read message, will i see the 6:00 pm in timestamp or 8:00pm ???
I hope you can forgive me for my bad english, thanks guys you're all a great people, i have only to learn from you
I ASK ADMIN IF GENTLY THEY CAN MOVE THIS THREAD, PLEASE.
Why do XDA even bother on creating a Q&A subsection in the forums...
sorry i didn't see i was in General, now i want to move post in right session or repost in correct session, but i don't find the way for delete this, how can i? sorry again.
Now to answer your question. There are many launchers you can use if you don't like touchwiz. Just install and when you hit the home button it will ask you which launcher you want to use. Check the block to make it your default and then choose the launcher you want.

Just Flash It !!!
Thanks for the answere, i know this way, but if i change launcher GUI keep the touchwiz or touchwiz is only the Launcher? i ask this because i think Touchwiz by samsung is inside the system and it take a lot of space and i don't think a launcher take so much space. maybe in a custom rom we can recover the space used by touchwiz and use if for other thing, maybe a smoother and lighter rom for SGS3 will improve performance. How about SMS timestamp?
You probably are referring to the touchwiz launcher. You can replace the launcher with apex or nova which are "stock vanilla ICS" launchers that include options to customize it. Apex is a better choice if you want a free launcher with many features...but if you want to buy nova prime I would recommend that.
The new touchwiz has some nice features, and replacing the launcher won't get rid of them.

laastan Regalia,
I've got a Nexus one and i tried to install ICS in order to try some launcher, i agree with you as Nova is the best, i will buy it but before i want to try use the Touchwiz, maybe i'll like ite... it isn't very bad as the Gingerbread stock launcher XD
Hello guys, i am a big fan of XDA and i hope im posting in the right area, i don't really post in these type of websites very often, but here is my problem and i hope it's possiable and someone can help me out or point me in the right direction. i have a samsung galaxy s3 running cm10, i installed widget locker (it lags way to much but im keeping it just because of the sliders) the moto default sliders that it has, is there anyway to replace the default slider of cm10 with sliders like that? so i don't have to rely on widget locker. i have speant the last 12 hours trying to figure this out, i am a noob when it comes to this, someome said Metamorph was possiable, but you need to do something with your framework-res.apk and i don't really know what to do there either, any help greatly appreicated!
Hi all! now i understand that threads debating the 'Best' ROM, theme, app, mod or setting arent something XDA is fond of, but thats not the particular reason I'm here, I've looked through countless threads in the mod/theme section and I'm wondering if someone can help me find the best solution for me. I'm relatively technically minded and a half-decent IT worker but I will openly admit when it comes to development/flashing, I'm one to follow instructions to the letter to get what I need up and working, but never learn the deeper workings.
I've an unbranded i9300 which I've had flashed with CM 10/10.1 and have kept updating with nightlies, but now I seek to branch out and find a ROM that will allow me the super-stability, additional working features (Allshare Cast [in particular], NFC, multi-view) of the stock Samsung image. I've since flashed philz custom touch recovery, and then proceeded to flash Sotmax Jelly Bean Ultimate Stock V10 available here. Its provided all the features I want, working, a good kernel and some customizability but the cartoony, colourful Samsung visuals are the reason I flashed from stock in the first place.
Can anyone help me find anything I can add to my device to get me a stock 4.1.2 lock screen, dropdown/notifications, launcher and settings? Essentially as much of the UI from CM10.1 as possible. I flashed Domination 1.4.3 as it looked and seemed perfect - but didn't change the lockscreen, and i started noticing lots of lag when scrolling/opening apps instantly. Is it thoroughly incompatible with the ROM im looking to use, or have i done something wrong along the way?
If this is a noob thread i do apologize but these forums can be so cluttered and misorganized to someone unused to searching through them that it can be hard to find something - if you dont know exactly what it is you need.

So you want some features from Samsung stock rom (camera, NFC, default framework and drivers), but the look of original 4.1.2 (CM10)?
I want this too!
Use any Sammy rom and use holo locker and holo launcher HD from play store for the vanilla android look

Thank you, i'll be checking those two out!
Ive since found the Null ROM here and it also seems to be exactly what we want/need from scratch, a mix of 4.1.2, Samsung Features, and a CM/AOKP look and feel. Still missing that lock screen though. Holo locker is the look that i desire - but it seems to lag when switching on, the normal homescreen displays for up to a second before it reverts to the lock. odd..
I use UltimaRom for same reason.
I wanted to use some of samsung apps but with look and feel of CM10.
And UltimaRom provides that. It also let me choose which samsung I want to keep and which I want to get rid of to keep my phone faster.
Ultima looks excellent! Thanks for the recommendation, nice boot loaders too and excellent file/mod support on his site
