Hi guys,
I want to explain how to change the homescreen of our Samsung Galaxy S i9000 with Android TouchWiz 3.0, so that we can choose our default page every time we press the HOME button.
In LauncherPro this is very simple, just go into Settings and set the correct parameter, whereas using the TouchWiz seems that there is no way to do that, then that will help here and I will explain what to do!
First of all:
- The default homescreen is the first, the page number 1;
- In Android TouchWiz the count start from 0, so the first page is 0, the secon is 1 ecc...
What we need:
- Fist of all you need to root your Samsung Galaxy S with STAND ALONE ROOT PROCEDURE by Leshack, all credits to him;
- Download from Android Market Estrongs File Explorer, all credits and thanks go to the autors of this powerfull application that has also the root option, or whatever file manager you want, the important is that you can take root access to the /system folder (you can also buy and download Root Explorer)!
- Start the File Manager, take the root access on /system, make a backup copy of default.prop, then edit it;
- suppose that we've 5 screens and i want to set the third screen as homescreen, we must modify the file in this way:

#sets TouchWiz Launcher default screen
ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen=2
#sets TouchWiz Launcher screen count
ro.csc.homescreen.screencount=2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- like you see, i've deleted the # from the front of the two lasts strings and set the screen writing 2 (i rember that we start from 0);
- Save the file and restart the phone;
- well done, we have set the homescreen!

Very Nice!!! this is better scrolling to the left and the right from the homescreen! much more functional now,touchwiz
edit: now only infinity scroll is yet to be enabled
Very nice! For those who use the TouchWiz homescreen this is great, but I much much much prefer LauncherPro

Yes this is awesome for those who use TouchWiz, cause 7 screens starting at screen 1 sucks balls!
Update: Sigh i m too fast to conclude, reboot bring the home screen to page 3 (as i set 3), but pressing home button bring me to page 1. Add in ro.csc.homescreen.screencount=3 reboot home screen started as 1 zzzz
##
Thanks you it works! But i just insert below string in the default.proc
ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen=3
##
My default.prop doesn't contain those line at all.
Is this because I'm still on the original JF3 firmware?
so if press the home button,it will go back to the page that u set as default?

Are u sure that the file is in /system and not in / ??
There are 2 default.prop, one in /system another one in the /
Thee second one is different from the first one, and if you mod the one that is in / you have to add the strings couse there aren't.
In the /system/default.prop there are the two strings to modify!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
This is the contents of the default.prop in /system:

Old firmwares have default on 4? I'm pretty sure that was never the case on my phone!
Edit: Regardless, if the file does NOT match what is posted by the OP you should probably hold off applying this just yet unless you know very well what you are doing.
Grate work now I've got 3 on each side.

First of all backup your default.prop, then add this 2 strings changing the number of default homescreen:
#sets TouchWiz Launcher default screen
ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen=2
#sets TouchWiz Launcher screen count
ro.csc.homescreen.screencount=2

It will work only if the JF3 can read this new istructions...

Is it possible to change Hero Sense navigation panel ( the one which is in the bottom, like semicircle ) to one that Nexus has? Or even android standard one?
You can change to android stanard very very easy without doing any modification of your phone.
Go to your apps list and select "htc sense" or "touch flow" whichever is what you see and then click "clear defaults"
Then press the home button.
At this point it should give you an option to go home with either "home" or "touchflow" click home and you have default android. But will not have any of the htc specific stuff e.g. widgets.
You can always revert back by clearing defaults in "home" in app screen (assuming you set it as your new default)
do you mean from this to this? i to would like to no if this was possible i think it looks so much better

Yes it's possible to add the Nexus One style launcher. However, I believe it'll only work with 2.X roms.

Download LAUNCHER2.APK
Then:
adb remount
adb push Launcher2.apk system/app
Voila!
If it doesn't work, rename it to Launcher, and it'll just wipe it over the top.
If you have any problems, let me know and I'll sign it as an update.zip for you.
BE WARNED THOUGH: Due to the demanding graphics, although it strangely runs MORE smoothly than the stock Android 2.1 launcher, it can on occasions cause your phone to SOFT reboot.
Happy to help!

No need for that, just copy to sd and install it with a file manager or with adb install from your hd.
To remove go to Settings:Applications and remove it from there.

No development until we can figure out what exactly is breaking and we can fix that... hopefully itll fix itself next month when we get HTC 2.1 framework.
I have been using it since yesterday afternoon with no problems (cept when I tried to use the Nexus One Live paper and got stuck in a reboot loop ) Awesome work man, now my phone feels like it has 2.1 on it!
has anyone got the bubbles around the apps off? i try it and it work but thinks it was by luck as i had no ideal on what i was doing even had FC and no USB at first. so is there a better way?

no the SlideMeRoot 5r1 but you mighty need ubuntu that's what i used. first rename the rom i just added 2 at the end
in ubuntu i deleted a fie in the bin folder (logwarpper) from SMR5r1 rom
flash the rom (renamed) then flash the regular rom (no wipe)
note: download the regular rom and put on SD first
EX: slideMeRood5r1 regular
SlideMeRoot5r2 renamed
hope im clear sorry
Eh, don't do all of that. Just change your Theme (press your menu key at the desktop screen, then select "MyModes", then "Change my Theme") to Nest. It already has the bubbles removed on the latest Slidemeroot5, but the theme has to be Nest. You can change the background after you change to that theme.
I only removed it on the Default theme, as I knew people was going to say ( But, I liked the Bubbles!! )

I'm not sure how anyone can like the bubbles... they're so obnoxious. Makes the screen too cluttered-like, but what do I know - all personal preference I guess.

the stock nest theme is in system/framework its com.htc.resources.apk.. you can pull this from one of his slidemeroms and push it to your rom and itll have them removed. If you want to do it the hard way, you pull that file from your phone, open it up, all the png files in it that say container in the name are the bubbles. replace bubbles with a blank icon named the same.

How to hide the combined Status Bar on ICS (root required!)
I think many ppl are searching for a solution to hide the status bar on ICS, since the Hacks from Honeycomb doesnt work on ICS.
Note that this is really a "Hack" since it forces Android to stop a services that is flagged as "important".
As usual, you are solely responsible if you brick your device!!! Install this Hack at your own risk!!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The Hack is tested on [ROM][ICS] Team Eos ICS 1.0.0 (umts_everest). Let others know if you have experiences with other roms. I´ll update this post after ur feedback.
Requirements:
MOD
- a rooted Xoom
- attached ZIP file (all credits to [email protected])
HOW TO
- SwipePad https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.conduction.swipepad.android
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation
The attached ZIP file contains
ToggleBar.apk
android.policy.jar
Settings.apk
1st - Install ToggleBar.apk and replace:
/system/framework/android.policy.jar
/system/app/Settings.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
using RootExplorer or equivalent or use ADB to push.
2nd - Reboot your device
Now you´ve got a new option to hide allow hiding the statusbar under Settings -> Display
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Exemplary use for end-users
- Install SwipePad from the Market
- Setup SwipePad to launch ToggleBar
Click to expand...

I would like to try this but I don't wanna be the guinea pig.
There's nothing super risky in changing the services.jar.
Make a backup of yours and you can push it back with ADB if you got a bootloop.
Nice, and thanks.
Wish there was a way to incorporate this into my app without needing the external jar file to be replaced (like it is in HC).
I have an app on Market that is a Kiosk browser app, but currently only for Honeycomb. It'd be sweet if it could work for ICS as well

I don't think there is a way to do it without a "special" version of the jar (policy or services)
In HoneyComb you could hide the bar, but with ICS Google remove that option, now the bar is "enforced" due the soft buttons and notification stuff.
new version online. see first post!
thx dabidu
Maybe this could go to the development section.
I add the .diff file with all the required changes on the source code to get the toggle the bar on and off, so anyone building a new rom from souce could implement this "feature"

I try this on eos 68. Its working with a big BUT.
No way to trigger the status bar back in application. Rotate the screen didnt work either.
Most of apps on market do not have exit button. So i can only use restart using log press power button.
I hope you could add the toggle setting on log press power button. That will do the jobs.
Thread Moved.

I understand about how to use. But if you could change the setting apk to include in display setting menu. Why not add it to the long press power button menu where the shutdown, reboot recovery and soo on.
It would become easy to use without need extra swipe application.
Just advice. No need to angry.
Nb: when using mxvideoplayer playing movies. Cannot toggle the status bar. But dice player just fine.
Amazing mod, you dont even need swipe pad. Thanks man.
You can just change back and forth from settings, sometimes after you select the bar again, it wont show, make a rotation and it will show again.

That would be a feature for a custom rom. Just request the dev of your favorite custom rom to included this mod

android.policy.jar

Get the original files from the original update.zip
There is no way to return to home screen from most applications so the only way to exit is to reboot - bunk. Uninstalled.

did you read the first post on how to use this mod?
Hi, all!
It's my first mod and first thread on XDA, so forgive my mistakes.
I really don't like the Xperia S capacitive buttons. After ask a question about the matter on XDA, I decided to try to do it myself. And after a few hours eating some bits, I could finish my work:
Native ICS on-screen buttons on Xperia S!!!
(See screenshots attached)
Short story:
I started reading this post, that led me to this other post that led me to try to use a tool called apktool. Sadly, apktool seems a little buggy and I decided to modify the framework-res.apk without decompile and recompile it. How? Binary diff. I can't say it was easy, but after a few hours I could modify the apk. In the Long story, on the second post, I'll tell how.
Things you need:
1. Root your device (see this post to learn how to unlock and root)
2. adb installed (or a working recovery)
Things I don't need to say (but I will):
YOU are responsible for any damage this mod could cause in your phone. I did exactly what I described below and it worked for me, but only God can make sure it will work for you. I don't think it's a big deal since you can flash you ROM again in case of any problem.
How to backup:
If you really want to backup your original framework-res.apk, run it before installing:
Code:
[email protected]:~/Android/LT26i$ adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk.bkp
And save the file framework-res.apk.bkp.
It's not very important because you can get this file from the ROM package or from here (link from optik19918).
How to install:
Install this mod is as simple as replace the file /system/framework/framework-res.apk by the modified framework-res.apk. Here follow some options to accomplish that:
Option 1 (via adb):
1. Choose a folder on your computer
2. Download framework-res.apk.
For firmware 6.1.A.0.452:
mediafire
my home (slow link)
For firmware 6.1.A.1.58:
my home (slow link)
For firmware 6.1.A.2.45:
my home (slow link)
3. Run the following steps (I did on Ubuntu Linux, but they are easily translatable to Windows):
Code:
[email protected]:~/Android/LT26i$ adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ # mount -o remount,rw /system
[email protected]:/ # mkdir /system/tmp
[email protected]:/ # ^D
[email protected]:/ $ ^D
[email protected]:~/Android/LT26i$ adb push framework-res.apk /system/tmp/framework-res.apk
4765 KB/s (15874684 bytes in 3.253s)
[email protected]:~/Android/LT26i$ adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ $ mv /system/tmp/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
[email protected]:/ # ls -l /system/framework/framework-res.apk
-rw-rw-rw- shell shell 15874684 2012-06-28 03:58 framework-res.apk
[email protected]:/ # rmdir /system/tmp
[email protected]:/ # mount -o remount,ro /system
[email protected]:/ # ^D
[email protected]:/ $ ^D
[email protected]:~/Android/LT26i$ adb reboot
4. Wait your phone to restart
5. Thanks me by clicking 'Thanks' button below
6. Say some bad words to the physical buttons!!!
Option 2 (via recovery):
1. Download the on-screen-buttons.zip
2. Reboot on recovery
3. Apply this zip
4. Restart the phone
5. Thanks me by clicking 'Thanks' button below (and also Soheil_rf for the zip version)
6. Say some bad words to the physical buttons!!!
Option 3 (via file manager):
1. Download the same file of option 1, step 2 (above)
2. Use your favorite file manager to copy the downloaded file to /system/framework/framework-res.apk
3. Restart the phone
4. Thanks me by clicking 'Thanks' button below
5. Say some bad words to the physical buttons!!!
How to uninstall:
Just repeat Option 1 or 3 above, but using the framework-res.apk.bkp you backed up or this one (link from optik19918).
----------------------
Some points:
1. The file is really smaller than the original, and it must be caused by the linux archive app when I copied the patched 'resources.arsc' to the original apk. It worked for me up to now, but I will try to figure out why it happened.
2. I will explain how I patched the 'resources.arsc' and changed the boolean value in the first reply of the thread. It was a pain in the ass, but worth sharing (edit: explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823223).
Long story
Reserved to tell the long story about the patch, If I have time.
EDIT:
And finally had some time! But it was to big for a single answer, I created a new thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29979582
Hope you like it!

I don't know how to do it yet, but I can learn.
Let's test it on more devices before, and then we can do it.

Wow this app is amazing, Awesome work guys....
I now only have to press once to go back or home, BUT there is one little problem. The last botton on the right is not assigned to open the settings menu like the original one. Is this fixable?

Also could you make the black border slightly slimmer...

Man, believe me, using the way I used to patch the file, it's impossible to change images... I think we will need to wait until apktool is fixed.

I've put a link to a DoomLord thread explaining everything about unlock and root. You'll see there that there is two ways for root currently, both need a unlocked bootloader.

Are you talking about the little dots when you're on galery, for example? It's working for me. If you're not, I don't know this feature.

i found some bug in camera app, the camera screen button it not in the side of the screen, please fix.
also make the black bar smaller 25%, and the placement of back icon should be more left so it on a line with the dot and transparent bar so does the task manager too, should be more right.
and also please make an option to disable the original touch button
thanks for your effort
is there a way to uninstall this mod?

yes use this zip http://www.mediafire.com/?62d7d4c2j2uy19m
or if you made a backup of the original file use the option 1 with the stock file
