Hey all,
I dont know if anybody is interested, but here is a working version of the Touchwiz4 Launcher that I can confirm works on the ns4g. I am using right now on MIUI. This is pulled from a rpm that I used to use on my epic. It is fully functional, no problems that I can find.
I did not develop this, I simply pulled it from a rom on my epic.
Credit goes to marcusant and whoever the original porter was.

Can you pull the email apk and get that to work on the Nexus as well? I want the Samsung email app with the separation of days in the email. I like that look better than the plain email that comes with stock google.

Download the system dump and try it for yourself.
Another good alternative email application is K9 Mail.

Root Explorer to system/app and doesn't show after a reboot. tried to install apk as normal and says app not installed. Any ideas why pushed to the app folder and instal won't work? Any other ideas to get it installed?
I backed up the original as email.apk.bak so it is there to redo, but didn't remove any other email items from other folders.
Hey thanks for the port,
Quick question I'm already rooted, the apk installed without a problem, but I only get two apps at the home screen. Sms and app drawer. Can't put phone or any other shurtcut plus i also don't have touchwiz widgets.
I'm rooted and in stock rom, do i have to be in a deodexed rom?
Thanks

To put other apps in the dock. You have to enter the application drawer and from there drag whatever apps you want on the dock

I put the app in sdcard/downloads, go to that location with file manager or root explorer, tap the app and install, works fine.

just regular installer
for the phone app you have to replace it or rename it to phone.apk coz if ur phone apk is like lets say samsungphone.apk the luncher doesnt recognize it. but idk how to do this and this is mentioned in the original post. if someone figures out how to replace the phone.apk on a custom rom without screwing things up ill give em a hug! lol

This version should be installable like any other app.. no need for it to be on system unless you just prefer it be there. If all ideas/criticism are welcome as this is my first themed apk and it taught me a lot and im still learning a lot. The settings button is fugly and i have tried to fix it to make it look good and came up empty so just go into the settings and always hide it if you dont like it because unless someone else wants to edit it and send it to me im not interested in fixing it as i doubt its even used.

About to update it to a new verison, sorry for the FCs not sure what was causing it on that version but it was working for me? anyway this one has been confirmed to work by people in the IRC and i have updated the theme.
Sorry guys, but I've been contacted by Swype and they've asked me to take it down, which I can wholeheartedly respect. They've said that they would release a beta version of it later this week to the registered testers. So I formally am going to take it down and request for the thread to be closed. I hope I was of some help.

I was able to pull the mms.apk from an eclipse rom rom the Razr HD. its inverted..and has a lot of extra features. However..the app crashes if you remove or rename the stock messaging app. so what I did was leave the stock messaging app and turn off all notifications and simply hide it with Nova. Now i have the darkened inverted goodness i want with full functionality.

I thought the same thing...but I haven't suggested it..espec because there are so many roms that GB supports
The problem is the stock system is odex like most stock systems are and themed apps do not usually play nice with odex system. Most of the times a dev will put out a deoxed rom or there is a way to deoxed the entire system, What is always interesting about Moto is they have specific odex version of apps like Motoemail, MotoMms and others that make simply dropping in themed apps problematic. I hope this answers your question. I am working on a theme for the Mini right now that takes out the green and replaces with blue LOL I hate that green!
