i was wondering now with numerous galaxy s phones out if its possible to get a galaxy s rom? I know their are themes such as this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769840
and you can always install the touchwiz launcher, but id love the galaxy s rom for things such as the drop down bar with all the toggles, the look (the theme does a decent job covering that)
and a fully working bottom dock, that rip sometimes doesnt work perfectly.
idk if its possible or if it ever will be?
also (I havent tried it yet, looking for a epic 4g dump, but is it possible to install the galaxy s camera apk on an evo?)
The TouchWiz UI is what you're looking for but I don't think the widgets or notification bar have been ported yet.
well is the touchwiz UI the apk file?
because the key things im looking for are of course the look (like the theme) but the main functionalities im wanting are the notification bar, bottom dock bar and camera rip if it can support the 8mp cam

The touchwiz apk will give you the bottom bar.
Nothing has the notification toggles yet, but I know someone on team douche is planning to implement it.
Camera will probably be too different, and at best we might see a theme.

camera apk would be fantastic...and the lock screen too...serious improvment over evo there
Camera would be nice itll be more than just an apk I'm sure...
Touch wiz is pretty ugly imo..

+1 I have both phones and compared side by side Sense is much nicer imo
comparing both side by side touch wiz comes out a loser to sense.
However, the task bar drop down with 4 radio control buttons is something I anxiously await!
Sense and Touchwiz are a no no... Launcher Pro is where its at IMO. I immediately installed LP on my buddy's Epic and he couldn't be happier.
I'm just pissed the super amoled does 16MILLION colors and we only get 65,000. Boo. Did i mention it also requires no power for black color? damn battery life, got me again.
What i want from the Epic? I want the ability to change the brightness by dragging left/right at the top of the screen by the notifications bar. BOOM, that would be clutch!

Okay, this may or may not be in the correct forum, but it's a question. I think the icons are horribly ugly, especially the camera. I know it's not quite rooted yet and it's not super high up on everyone's list, but would anyone be able to help me out with getting better looking stock Android 2.1 icons on there or maybe make an icon pack that replaces the ones on there with 2.1 stock icons? Thanks in advance.

BetterCut?
I tried Better Cut with mine and the stock 2.0 icon pack. The icons are low res and look kind of bad on the large Evo screen.
With the size of the Evo screen you will really want to get More Icons. Trust me on this, it is perfect for this phone.
I've never heard of BetterCut, but it seems like it won't work. My girlfriend has a Nexus and those icons are very classy and would work very well with the Evo, I think. And I just want to replace them completely, not have extra.
Personally, I've always loved the bounce effect. It feels more natural to me. I don't suppose any devs are interested in modding it back into the 2.3.5+ framework?
Looks like some people are using parts of the 2.3.4 framework to get it back on the original GS2, but of course you lose any changes made to the framework in subsequent updates.
Also, is the horrible overscroll in the browser driving anyone else nuts? It's like Samsung's version instead of the Android version and it's awful. It even gets stuck and 'drifts' if you scroll diagonally and hit an edge. Gonna have to use a different browser for now.
I'm using it on cm7 you should flash it only thing not working is 4g and bluetooth.

Ha e you tried UOT kitchen and their tweaks for overscroll
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Woot, Will of fire that should be perfect. I didn't realize how close CM7 was to working. I can hold out until GPS and Bluetooth are working as I use both quite a bit. I've been planning on running CM when comes out anyway.
playya, I checked UOT Kitchen before but I only saw options under Popup to change the color or disable the glow. Does disabling glow enable bounce or am I overlooking the bounce options?
i would love to get the bounce back too, the overscroll color made me think there was something wrong with my phone, lol
im thinking of going back to touchwiz, but i absolutely can't stand the notification drawer.. are there any roms that are close to AOSP in that sense?
what i wish were gone are:
1. the thin clear button (the least important factor, don't really mind too much if this can't be changed)
2. ugly gray lines between the each of the notifications
3. how some notifications don't show an icon (ie: in AOSP, no icon notifications usually show up with as a blank square with turquoise color)
thanks!
also, does anyone know where i can get a touchwiz launcher for AOSP? (including the stock samsung icons just for the dock?

At the end of your post you said you were looking for a touchwiz launcher
My wife's sgs2 nav bar died. So I flashed slimbean which has a softkey nav bar capability and that rom kicks ass. Problem is that its her phone and she misses touchwiz. Specifically the calendar. So is the anyone out there that can point me to a rom with touchwiz and softkey nav bar, or even better, guide me to a thread that helps me install softkey nav in the Jedi mind trick ROM? Please help guys.

Thanks man, but those are a no go. Tried the first one and its just a pain (it does work in a pinch, just not suitable for daily use). The second one doesn't install nav softkeys, it just allows you to change their properties if the phone already has nav softkeys, which slimbean already has that customization ability baked in.
oo ok scratch that an maybe try this but not promissed but staying on slim but giving her the Touch wiz 5 launcher that way she can still use the stocky look but still have the navbar maybe ???? if not i hate to say it here but you can try out JellyBam on goo.im and in there settings you can download the TW launcher for her or even paranoid since they have the most customization out there and or stable jelly milestone 6 was the stable and true just a thought to try and help
Use whatever rom you like, with the navigation bars you want. Then pay a couple bucks for pure grid calendar widget. Its pretty much the same as the touchwiz Calender widget....plus themes for it.

I would open the phone and see if the ribbon did not pop out. Replacing is expensive( not the keypad, but the screen) as you have to get the screen out and good chance for damaging. Keypad is cheap.
Thanks for the replies. I have actually taken the phone apart and the ribbon cable was in place. Not really interested in a widget either, but it is a nice widget. I did however find this:

Thanks again for all your help!
Let's see what you got!
I keep getting invalid image file when I use the app and when I go on the internet on my phone to try to post something. I don't know what's up with that.
Here you go. I love this phone. The edge shortcuts allow me to flow back and forth quicker without using multi windows or hitting the home key. The camera is top of the line and the finger print sensor is sweet.
Here's mine:

Xposed framework and unicon.
Rooted
Build.prop edit dpi to 590
Dynamic Notification to make my lock screen like the Moto X
G3 Wallpaper with Nova Launcher to organize the screen the way I like it.
The edge panel is really nice in that I can keep the main screen so much cleaner than I used to on my G3 like in the 4th pic.

But like his notification panel isn't an ugly mix of neon green and awkward navy. How did he change his to grey?
Edit: also how did he get rid of the S finder and quick connect icons.

Hes running forever locos theme.. your talking about all the toggles and all that. Yes, thats the theme.. mixed with some xposed, blurred systemui for the pulldown blur, and i believe its wanam or gravity box allows the removal of those icons you speak of, but in this case i believe the systemui was modded in the theme to get rid of that. Otherwise check out wanam or gravity

Still trying to make the most out of the edge panel. Love having a clutter free home screen tho!
Nice job everyone! My home screen is still a work in progress but I thought I'd mention one thing I like to do. With "ss launcher" you can extend your home screen vertically. I like it that way cause you can just flick the screen up to get to stuff below. (also applications page scrolls vertical once there). Anyways. here is an example of how the home page is extended vertically. So you see, below the usual home screen, I put an icon, a calendar widget and another widget called "recent apps" which I set to be a 3x3 grid so I can can easily go back and forth between apps one handed.
still mostly stock
