[Q]Replicate touchwiz 4.0?

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to replicate touchwiz 4 on my android powered HD2;
i dont use touchwiz 4.5 by Fr4gg0t cause it too unstable for daily use,so what i'm trying to accomplish is a closed imitation of that UI.
Atm i have 2 ways of doing it
1-Using launcher pro plus with it's widgets themed with launcher pro corporate theme (1&2),beautiful widget pro.
cons: there is no way to make the drawer scroll orizzontally
2-using ADW EX,android pro widgets (in simple b&w theme) again beautiful widget and minimal reader pro with sqaured widgets.
cons:it just look not properly..right!
so right to the question:do you guys know any other squared widget that can be "touhwiz 4-like"?is there any way to get a properly spaced) 4 icons dock on adw-ex or lpp?

Maybe this one; https://market.android.com/details?...auncher.reloaded2&feature=more_from_developer

Hi,
I don't really understand what you actually want. Give me more details and maybe I can help.
As of 4 icons dock, I believe MIUI ROM and Sony Ericsson Home use 4 icons dock (search the forums).

I know what he means I like the touch wiz ui. I would love to have a nice theme for adw.ex launcher if possible. Does anybody know of any? Free would be preferred price range.

[Q] Best Streak 7 Launcher?

Any thoughts on the best launcher for the Dell Streak 7?
I'm using ADW currently, but don't really like it. I use Zeam on my Streak 5, and switch off with Go Launcher, but neither of those work on the Streak 7.
Thoughts?

I use Go Launcher on my Streak 7....I like it because it was free, has lots of customization options and it lets you add multiple icons to screens instead of one at a time.
I couldn't install it from Android market though,,,it said my streak 7 was incompatible so I got it from manufacturers web site & it installed/runs perfectly.

I have my streak 7 rooted and running 2.2.2 which it came with if that's what you mean?

Go Launcher is the best.

For me ADW was the best one, due to their high density icon hack (the best looking ever!). Few months ago it started not working, but I am still using ADW out of habit.

I use lightning, small, fast, stable, free as custom as I need, nice feature that I haven't seen on other launchers you can select independent layouts for horz/vertical much nicer than getting everything perfect then flipping on it side and it sucking.

ive been using Halo launcher it works ok.

go launcher hd for tablets
There isnt as many options as Ex but the dock is on the bottom in landscape, like tablets are supposed to be. Im on CM10 and the tablet patch doesnt work on the latest version, so the tablet format is what drawed me to this launcher. There are 4 free themes that are pretty good, and the EX themes apply icons and wallpaper. Its much smoother than Trebuchet on this particular version of CM10

Third party launchers and/or TouchWiz

I've been a LauncherPro user for many years now, and as such I've stuck with it on my Note. However, due to the "laggy" app-drawer opening animation, I've had to disable that completely (so that the drawer opens immediately).
I believe that pretty much ALL third-party launchers suffer from stuttering in some way or another. Does anyone actually know WHY this is the case on the Note? Its not ROM specific.
The alternative is to just use TouchWiz, which I am 100% keen on doing, except for ONE little problem. 90% of Android widgets are 4 columns wide, and there is no way to resize widgets with TouchWiz.
Anyone have any tips or suggestions? I get the feeling that most people stick with TouchWiz, so I'd love to know what you do about the 4 column limitation.

I'll give that a shot then. Does it support resizing of widgets?

No problem
I have tried most of the available launchers. The one i am most happy with at the moment is spb shell 3d, its not cheap. But when in tablet mode, looks great on the note. The widgets really make use of the screen resolution.
The only issue is there is no ability to alter the row/column count. Which in tablet mode has a count of 8. Which is a little high for the screen size of the note.
I have emailed the Developers of spb shell 3d and they have told me a update will be available soon.
Just my opinion

Thanks. I wish there was a way to test SPB before buying.
Are you able to resize widgets with SPB?

Yeah, you can resize all the widgets. It is a shame there is no trial

I use go launcher as well and I experienced some lag in transition effect and opening app drawer..
what ROM/kernel are you using? or maybe it's because I use too many widgets?

There is, but not one that I could ever recommend
I admit I tried it and found it very wanting. I only did it for the trial, because the cost was so high. I am glad I did, as I found it very wanting on my device. Others seem faster to me.
I use ssLancher. It has a very different approach, and everything is customisable. I also use a separate app launcher and Folder Organiser, leaving me 'free' from the app organisation that most launchers pin on you. That allows me to play with more with less effort.

go launcher is good because you can use ICS theme.
But this stupid launcher removes ICS animation ! (returns Gingerbread stock)
I hope new update (4.0) will bring for us more then just a nice shell.

you could try application folder (lite) from the market

i just switched to launcher 7. . im loving it. . i think its perfect for the big screen of the note. .

No matter what Kernel/ROM I use, every single launcher lags noticeably. I never had this problem with my previous phones (Atrix, Defy+, SGS2). And yes, I'm and advanced user so I know how to optimize the OS.
I just stuck to ADW EX, selecting the Fast interface and setting drawing cache to low quality. It lags but it's way less than Launcher Pro, GO and SS Launcher.
Hope this gets fixed on ICS.

ADW Launcher EX rly nice low on memory and alot of customizations possibilities.

Mmhhnnnnnn

I agree, I tried lots of launchers and IMO ADW EX is the best one!
It should be amazing one day to get anything equal to the Sense interface as Launcher (NO SPB Shell is not as good as Sense), don't you think so? I love it on HTC
Sent from my Galaxy Note with DarkyROM 3.3

I used to use Launcher Pro back in the day, but TBH, I consider it to be dead now; the developer hasn't made any changes to ver 0.8.6 for almost a year now... I think it's abandoned.
I use ADW EX, and it's pretty decent!

Note 9 Infinity Wallpaper

Can someone post a video of Infinity wallpaper animation in Note 9 (AOD, Lock screen, Home screen)? I love it in the S9. Can't find one for Note 9 online.

I was about to make this exact same thread. I've seen hundreds of note 9 hands on review vids on YouTube and none have infinity wallpapers like the note 8 .i find it hard to belive Sammy dropped the infinity style wallpapers as I love my note 8 wallpapers they look better than the s9

I guess the note 9 really don't have infinity wallpapers then

It doesn't have infinity wallpapers like every Samsung flagship has had since the S8, it honestly feels like the software is a visual downgrade compared to the S9. Normally the last Note released before a major hardware design change (Note 4 before the S6 and Note 7 before the S8) had a major software redesign incorporating design features from the upcoming Android version. Note 4 with KitKat had Lollipop recent apps view and lockscreen features, Note 7 with Marshmallow had Nougat notification style and management.
This time there are no features inspired by Android Pie, only visual downgrades from the S9. It seems like Samsung is saving everything they can including software and the underscreen fingerprint scanner for the S10 running Samsung Experience 10. Maybe the infinity wallpaper will make a comeback later too?

Well I hope they bring them back for the s10 and note 10.

I am about to get my hands on N9 demo, will check and update.
Edit : I have checked sources in dump ROM and seems it's been removed, though will check on device once I get .
Edit2 : Unfortunately..samsung have removed infinity wallpaper with animation. They are still calling infinity wallpaper but no more animation. Also AOD have no BG effects (at least for I have set 1-2 infinity)
Good thing is, I have checked source and still infinity is not completely removed so still on custom ROM there is hope to bring it back.

Who knows. We may get a software update before release that will see it's return.

I don't see any logic that Samsung first remove it and later re add it in update. I believe it's gone.

It would be nice to be able to put the note 8 infinity wallpaper on the note 9

Frustrated
I had a Note 8 and I loved the infinity wallpaper, which was a star field, but I got a problem with the pen and Samsung exchanged it for a Note 9 soo I can't complain but be grateful.
HOWEVER the infinity wallpaper is gone, I have this weird fluid colors, it is cool but not even closer to how cool was the moving star field.
Hope someone comes with a solution for this.

[LiveWallpaper] Xperia S Cosmic Flow S [working Android 10]

Hi guys,
I owned Xperia S and I really loved the Cosmic Flow wallpaper.
I modded it so that it can work in the latest android version.
It's working fine on my Galaxy note 10+
I haven't tested it in android 11 though.
Enjoy.

Note:
- The screen may come black after selecting the wallpaper for the first time. Just select another color from settings or restart the launcher.
- In the case of OneUI launcher, the wave doesn't respond to touches and swipe. That is an OneUI problem. The wave should respond to taps/swipes in other launchers.
Apk file.

Sir, I don't know how much Thanks I should give to u, I've been searching this live wallpaper for Android 7+ for about 6 months and then finally I got this!!! Thank you so so much for ported this sir. We really appreciate you. Lots of love and respect

Wow, this is great! Too bad I am getting a black screen when selecting this wallpaper on my Xperia XZ2 on Android 10, but hey seeing this live wallpaper getting some attention is great. Good job.
Edit: Restarted my launcher and the wave started working there! My favourite wallpaper is back! I've been waiting for years for this! Thank you so much.

Ohh yes, I should've mentioned that. It may show a black screen on the first try. Just, change the color in settings or restart the launcher.
I am glad you guys liked it!

Man, you did a great job. ??
Btw...
Do you plan on including other colors as well? I remember there was a modded .apk floating around that included more colors like bright red, hot pink etc.

Thanks a lot! Right now I don't have plan to add colors. But if you could point me to the modded APK with extra colors, I can try to port it for latest Android versions.

I've read somewhere in reddit that Samsung is going to fix it in OneUI 2.5.

Hey @pmsdhawale while you're here, you seem to have had great success porting/modding this for our devices, I'm wondering if you're able to do the same with this one?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787350
The OP of the thread hasn't been active in a year so I don't think there's much hope of him being able to do it.
Might be a long shot but just thought I'd ask, thanks!

Really appreciate your effort in porting this. Thanks very much.
