[q] Searching for the ultimate TouchWiz Mod [changing icons & grid without losses]
Hello there!
I would love to use TouchWiz as my main launcher, but I´m really not into its look, especially when it comes to the icons. So my question is: Is there any newer possibility to change the theme of the icons (maybe into a JB/ICS theme)?
I have seen that there are some mods to change the grid in touchwiz, but as mentioned there - the result is a loss of the screen buddy.
So are there some more people who would like to see a "jelly beanish TouchWiz", e.g. with JB Icons and a 5*5 or 6*5 grid without loosing its functions like page buddy? I´m sure that this would get some high download rates over here
Hi there
There just happen to be these two mods made for you...
First is AOSP icons pack: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930847
Here is the touchwiz laubcher mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923876
Hope it helps.

Hey Jamal, thx for your links!
AFAIK, the TouchWiz launcher you posted above suffers the Site Buddy Bug (he described it in the OP). Did you try it?

Not yet i am sincerely refraining from modding/flashing/rooting atm because of the withdrawal symptons i get
Ill try it when i get back in the rooting game again
I flashed the new hypernote rom yesterday that runs a modified touchwiz. It runs it at 5x6 which is exactly the size I was looking for. I was expecting pagebuddy to not work since I had used the above mentioned mod. To my surpirse, the 5x6 mod he uses works with pagebuddy too! So either I would suggest you try that rom out, or contact the developer and ask him what he did....

i tried this couple of minutes ago, but with all due respect...touchwiz isn´t that good. I dont like it at all. I need more config-options than touchwiz can deliver (0)
but still, good work
Nice work dude

very same to me

It hides the 4th line aplications under dock.
I will add in first post.
Edit: Its just a matter of organization, i deleted previus versions.
The tip is to dont keep more than 12 icons in eatch screem.

Only hides the second text line. The tip there is to put in erd line aplication only apps with short names...

I have 3 solutions:
You can try a custom launcher GO Launcher Ex is one of the best out there. Not only does it give you custom themes but also additional effects for desktop and app drawers believe me i've been using it for like 3 months and still find amazing things i can do with it
If you are rooted you can create your own MOD for changing icons and stuff by using UOT kitchen (Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen)
Else you can go to mods and themes section people have all sorts of MODs there for applyin. But for this you need to be rooted again.
Hope it helped

Hello guys,
I am looking for Jelly Bean ROM ( I mean JB look, i don`t like samsung overlay on android) but with all special functions of Samsung Galaxy s 3 such as S Voice, Smart Stay and touch options( zooming with two fingers on picture in gallery etc.) I spent whole day on searching but didn`t find any maybe looking in wrong place? or just doesn`t exist?
Also i would like to add that it isn`t my very beginig on flashing roms. Previously I had HTC Desire HD with plenty roms tried.
Please help
Basics including rom list .

AOKP /AOSP are non Samsung roms

I would suggest a custom deodexed sammy rom (wanam, omega etc) with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730397 and nova or apex launcher! Thats as close as you can get.

And does the "pan to move icons" works? I have already found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886332 MS Team HD 5.0 and it doesn`y support it but just it so it`s very acceptable. Another thing, but propably in every rom, lack of S Planner widget.
Would totally love this combination as well. Mainly so I can keep WiFi tethering which Vanilla JB ROMs don't have.
Nice to hear that I`m not alone
S Planner and other samsung applicatins might be in the rom, depending if the author put it in or not. I can not give you that specific advice because I am using cm10. So you gotta check some roms out and see whats in there.
You also have the option to flash deodexed stock rom and then vertumus theme, so you got the complete Samsung stuff. Here you get the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704185
Oh and perhaps also check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911572 Has the JB look out of the box

hello i know cm7 has a few lockscreens and many options but i dont like any of them! and the ones i do like give a really laggy slow animation when the icons zoom in at you...
im just wondering if theres any mods around that give me a few better options? i do like the MIUI lockscreen where you drag from the centre to either up down left or right to a different app each time, id love this if i could find it! iv tried it on MIlocker but its laggy and buggy as hell lol
can anyone link me to some new lockscreens that will work on my atrix? (cm 7.2 MROM)
thanks! :fingers-crossed:
There are many lockscreen apps available on Google Play. I've also seen some non-MIUI ROMs (can't remember which ones though) that have MIUI lockscreen added, so clearly that's possible too.

yeah iv tried a few and they all seem very laggy mainly because there apps and not built into the software, im guessing anyway :silly:
the only one iv tried that fast is holo locker, but im just really looking for one thats not an app and is flashable so its intergrated into the actuall rom

You can't do that. The default system lockscreen is deeply integrated with the core framework. That means not only you'd need a different flashable ZIP for each and every ROM out there, you'd need a different ZIP even for different versions of the same ROM.

okay i understand thank you.
Holo Locker is a good lockscreen replacement. You can also disable de built-in lockscreen from CM7.
Go to Cyanogenmod Configs > Tablet > Disable lockscreen

well, as ravilov stated, we cant "flash" a different lockscreen since its buried inside the framework, but i did once use a beautifull and FULLY customisable lockscreen that was and actually have an options to stick in memory, so triggering the 3rd party lockscreen is flawless and fluid as hell ! only cons : its a payable app !
Its called Widget locker -> go take a look on the market (every slider style is customisable from MIUI style to Sense to IOS

Hello guys,
Is there any way to install more themes to the phone? Without rooting, using a launcher or custom ROMs etc.
Or the only way to customize the look is to use launcher?
Thanks

Look through this forum for the theme creator and some themes someone updated. You might need root first though.
Yea I checked that thread but the program is in Korean and it didnt really work. And I saw those themes but I didnt really like them.
So the best would be to use a launcher after all? Because I couldnt find any other custom made themes.

Yeah. For this phone I recommend the following...
Holo Launcher HD (Same features as Nova/Apex, lighter on resources)
Launcher 8 (If you have some Metro UI envy, and make sure it's not the QiHang one)
Smart Launcher (Very minimalist and fast, use it for a week and you will be loving it. I stopped using it because it would force close every couple days)
Thanks for the tips
The absolute best launcher is Everything Home (beta), I promise you I have tried them all.....
New to forum, so i'm not able to post a link yet

Check again, there's an English translation patch in the same thread. It still leaves a couple of buttons in Korean but it's easy to see what those buttons are for.
