[MOD] Modified & LagFixed TouchWiz Launcher

As you know, in galaxy s when we install 4-5 page programs , lags is appear
The touchwiz launcher is lagy too and when we Turn pages the lags is apear
I decompile touchwiz.apk and i explore folders and in res folder i saw few folders that named xxxx-xxxx-1024x600 and i guess this names means 1024x600 pixel like galaxy tab and samsung create a touchwiz that could be use in galaxy s and galaxy tab!
I decided to deleted that folders had a 1024x600 in the last of name and i compile apk and push it to galaxy and i see that is work lagless and very fast and smooth
I made an update.zip of this modified touchwiz and upload in attachment
Guys you can test it and leave Comments on this topic
I forget something
I change the homescreen_menu_shortcut_bg.png with glass one and you can see in pic

What firmware versions does this work on?
Does it overwrite the default TouchWiz?
Is it compatible with any Lagfixes?

this launcher is last version of touchwiz that used in jpm/jp6 roms and must work on any version of roms
yes , this launcher is compatible with any lagfixes

I am sorry, what has been changed from default?
Lowered the resolution or something?

i think you should work with the guy that did the TW mod script:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792817
together you can hack tw and make it work better

Just flashed it via CWM on Voodoo-Doctor-Edition-JP6 and seems to be lagless flipping between pages. G8 job!

Amazing!!!!!!!!
It works!!!!!! Great Work!!!! This launcher is more fast, even using various widgets and an animated desktop. Thanks!!!!

No, based on what he wrote, he deleted icons and textures for use on Galaxy Tab. I wonder if it really does make it faster, though.

No effect here. Still laggy as hell.
EDIT: maybe it's because I'm using a lagfix? I have 5 pages of apps. Not that much if you ask me :S

Can you guys still uninstall apps from the drawer?
Last time I replaced TWlauncher I had lost this ability.

interesting.....

I recommend editing the LauncherConfig.java class to enable the fly in effect when opening the app menu, pretty nice.

My attachement contains a classes.dex which has the ability to uninstall (non system) apps from homescreen + fly in effect.
Remove .apk and .odex first, then push this to system. I always switch to an other launcher before doing that..
@Spike_M
When I delete all folders with 1024*600 in the name, apktool gives some errors..

On reboot touchwiz doesn't load - it gives me a fc error: The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly.
How do I go back to the original touchwiz?

Do you have adb enabled? Otherwise you have a problem..

I have adb installed, but my pc won't detect the phone when plugged in via usb.
It seems like the only solution is to flash another update.zip via recovery. An update.zip of the original touchwiz should work, if someone would be kind enough to put one together. I wouldn't know where to start...
Edit: or is there a way to install an apk via the recovery menu? Long shot, I know. I was thinking installing LauncherPro would bypass the fubar'd tw.

i use modified launcher and its work like a charm
for those guys want to get back original touchwiz
1- download update.zip in attachment and copy it to your internal memory
2- instal it from recovery 2e or cwm recovery

Thanks but I can't access the internal memory of my phone. Now what?

Tw launcher is definately faster now. Try pinch to zoom and see! It even made me consider reverting from launcher pro.. Great fix, thanks!

its not 100% perfect but youre as close as ive ever seen anyone come so far!
damn nice fix!

I think I noticed an small improvement with that fix: 55apps installed (6 pages in app drawer), but there is still some lag...
By the way I'm really glad that there is people trying to improve the performance of TW. I really like TW but the app drawer is laggy I'm still using froyo stock launcher...

[UTIL][12/JUL/12] Samsung Galaxy S Chlorine (or cwm update bloat remover generator)

Status: ONLINE and Updated 12/Jul/12
With so many GB roms coming out lately I often can't wait for xxx custom rom developer to update to xxx rom. For the last month or so I've basically been using customised stock roms. (My own AOSP theme, choose a kernel, change a few apks).
One of the first things I do after flashing a new rom + kernel is cut down on some of the bloat in /system/. I more or less remove everything that can be downloaded (for free) from the market. When they're downloaded from the market they often go into /data/, leaving more breathing room in /system/.
As always, backup and be confident with restoring your phone via download mode or CWM.
Android Chlorine

SGS Chlorine
SGS2 Chlorine
SGS3 Chlorine
---
SGS Chlorine (mobile)
SGS2 Chlorine (mobile)
SGS3 Chlorine (mobile)
What this does:
This is a little bit of PHP that will generate a customised CWM update.zip which will remove specific apks (and associated .odexes).
Usage:
* Choose which APKs you want the update.zip to remove and hit the Generate button.
- You can also select a preset to save some clicking.
* Copy the generated .zip file to your phone.
* Apply it with CWM.
Thanks:
The list of APKs was grabbed from the public google docs spreadsheet.
The SGS2 APK list was grabbed from this public google docs spreadsheet
The SGS3 APK list was grabbed from this public google docs spreadsheet. XDA thread
Notes:
* The APK list shouldn't let you remove anything 'vital' to booting the phone.
* I've tested it myself pretty extensively and used it for the last couple of stock roms released. However, there may be bugs. Let me know and I'll attempt to get them fixed!
* If you have any particular ideas for good presets, also let me know and I'll see to adding them.
* You can remove TouchWiz (TouchWiz30Launcher.apk) with this. However, if you do that without having another home 'app' installed, bad things may (will) happen.

Presets:
- Google
Removes the following:
- Gmail.apk
- GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
- Maps.apk
- Street.apk
- VoiceSearch.apk
- YouTube.apk
- Sargorn Special
Removes the following:
- Everything from the Google preset
- Aldiko
- BuddiesNow
- The flip fonts, Choco, Cool, Rose
- Days
- Dlna
- DualClock
- InfoAlarm
- Flash
- Layar
- MiniDairy
- MyFiles
- Protips
- SamsungWidgets (CalendarClock, FeedAndUpdate, StockClock)
- SnsAccount
- SnsProvider
- Unified Inbox
- Write and Go

Nice, a kitchen for removal rather than gain of apps

reserved for future use!

Simple, but very useful!
Thumbs up!

this looks very promising.
one of the things i hate about upgrading is removing all the bloatware ....will try it out my next flash thanks

what a great idea

Wow, definitely going to try this. Thanks!
EDIT: after generating a .zip and looking at the generated script, it deletes .apk and .odex files. Will this throw an error if used on a deodexed rom? Maybe an option to select whether the rom is odexed/deodexed would be a good idea? Just a thought.

It doesn't throw an error. Just double checked.

I will try. I was looking for such a pc software because im tired of removin app
myself again and again after flashing new roms. Thanks.

can i still choose apps which i don't have so incase in the future, i don't need to create another one.. what i'm generating is my master uninstaller.
very nice utility.

this a very useful +1

Very nice idea. Exactly what I was looking for. Will give it a try right away/

Great!
Suggestion: you could add a text input field (possibly user could press a button to get more text input fields) so that users can remove some other (not pre-defined) APKs.
Don't know if it's of any use though..

That should work without any problems. The update-script won't complain if the files deleted are not there to start with.

I can see it being useful if you have a specific apk that usually is installed with your CSC. I'll look into it when I have a chance.

If I understood well, it works on odexed roms?

That's right, the update-script removes both the .apk files and the .odex files.
So as long as you have CWM it will work on odex or deodexed.

Ok, so domo arigato, as they say

Worked pretty good when I went from JVP to JVQ just a minute ago
Great!

After downloading the zip file, can the updater-script be manually edited and and readded to the zip?

[Flashable Zip]Huge UI mod for stock apps for Jellybean (G3 style)

This mod will change default apps UI to look like G3:
Contact, Phone, Setting, Lockscreen, Home, Message, Camera
Little icon change for:
Internet, videos, calculator, gallery
How to:
1. You must have a file manager for editing Example.apk, X-PLORE file manager is always highly recommended:
2. Download zip from attachments, open mod & copy(replace) "res" folder in Example.apk.
3. Replace your new Example.apk with the original one in system/app.
4. You MUST always Restart your phone to get the right result! Possible Force closes before restart are normal
Done! Enjoy!
Flashable zip is here!please reply the result

----------editing apk files with X-plore file manager:
hold on an apk file & select "open as archive" & then you can modify APKs easily
----------how this mod works?
this mod will replace only some pictures in Example.apk
If you don't like a change, easily delete its picture from mod folder & copy pics again to the original copy of Example.apk.
!! remember to have the original STOCK APK files somewhere safe !!
I suggest to copy the system/"app" folder somewhere safe
If you want to have changeable status bar & navbar colors same as action bar(flat style like my screenshot, you can use FlatStyleColoredBars! Even on 4.1 like myself. All the credits goes to ibocharov, that's a great module & worthy to buy the pro if you like!
BUT IT'S ONLY FOR 4.3+! BUT NO PROBLEM, install Xinstaller Xposed module & disable checking sdk version & it will be installed & will work on 4.1 jellybean perfect!
NOTE: use the 0.63 or lower versions of flatstylecoloredbars on jellybean, the newer versions cause serious force closes! If you've already faced the problem, use Xposed recovery mode:
Restart the phone,once you see boot animation, press volume down four times or more!
That's how I solve the problem on my (locked bootloader-no custom recovery) device!
The 0.63 version that I'm already using it, is perfect for jellybean,I've attached it(edited,works with 4.1 without other modules )
If you want to have G3 style notification bar & lollipop Navigation bar on your Optimus G like the screenshot, here is the place:

The problem is my phone is not unlocked & I don't know how to make flashable zip!
But I make you sure even by deleting the apps above, phone will boot normally(tested) & you can replace or copy your original apps, they will be restored FOR SURE.
Also that's not that much hard to modify them! At most 10 minutes for all of them!

Group effort to get Theme Center running on Tab S2 & S3

I've also posted this in a thread of the Tab S3 forums, as the stock nougat rom for both is so similar.
Progress so far is that Galaxy Themes installs and runs, but won't download and apply the themes from the store. Next up I'd need to trawl though the logs and see if there are any clues. If anyone has some spare time and wants to help out, I've attached the needed files to this post. Put the Galaxy Themes and ThemeCenter folders in /system/priv-app (set permissions if needed) and change your devices model number to SM-G935F or another theme-supported device in build.prop then reboot.
Attached files are from a deodexed S7 rom.
Screenshots:
1. Themes now appears in settings
2. Theme store
3. Theme downloading
4. Install failed

Grand idea. But side loading themes only works with *root* access, aye?

This my results from from Marshmallow (https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/themes-apps/theme-store-marshmallow-t3394157), im using same method in Nougat firmware, but the results was same. I think it because the Framework things (?) And, the themes itself does not support Tablet resolution (Maybe?) Because, in my results only partial theme aspect is installed (Fonts, wallpaper, etc) and, if you trying to install other theme aspect (ui colors, overlays, etc) manually from extracted theme assets file, you will get "Application Not Installed". Hope you can find a way out! ?

Some package(s) are missing, I'd say. Anyhow, if you are rooted you could simply edit the UI to alter colors etc.

I have managed to somehow apply a theme partially!? I can apply icons and wallpaper part of the latest olympic theme, like I said somehow and I used apk editor pro from playstore to edit and install apk's.
---------- Post added at 05:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 AM ----------
Also managed to install my Note 8 theme store once and it had the new layout that included AOD with Icons Themes and Wallpapers. But it asked to update when I opened galaxy apps and after it updated it reverted to the same theme store you provided.

This is my Tab S2 sm-t815y.

How u got themes?

I had root and cut and paste Samsung theme.apk and Samsung Theme centre.apk into system privapp as well as changed the device ID to S8 using buildprop editor. Then rebooted and had theme store running but not completely.

To have full theme store work you need (the problem is SystemUI.apk)
• ThemeStore and ThemeCenter framework. (your tablet already have it,copy paste the 2 files ,framework support themes....you are ok)
• The new TouchWizHome Launcher from TW Marshmallow,Nougat (your tablet already have it ....you are ok)
• A modded S.7,8,9 SystemUI (You need a SystemUI.apk from Samsung S7 or S8,S9,Note 5,Note7 ported for your tablet ,your SystemUI.apk NOT support themes, )
• A modded build.prop to allow Theme Store to work (it's simple to change name ....you are ok)
Don't copy SystemUI.apk from other phone !! ..You will have bootloop

Nope.... the issue is entire system.... all apk has no support for themes.... it ts still all hardcoded in styles, so overlay theming will never work(well maybe for few items only), the only way is old theming;
that means de/recompile needed apks.... long story just for few and immense work...
Enjoy

No,l don't.All I know is wmservice opens up multiple other services just like "googleplay services" so it hogs ram and removing it doesn't cause boot loop.

You can edit the script as per your needs.
If you dont know apk ids you want to remove,you can do one thing.Use aroma fm in twrp and move apks(make sure to move,not delete) to a folder in your sdcard that could possibly be ones you want to remove.
If any thing goes wrong,like a boot loop or wong app removed.You can copy or move back the apk from your sdcard to /system/app or system/priv-app using aroma fm and giving right permissions(i,e 644).
Once you successfully removed all unwanted apks,you can update debloat script with the apk ids you have on your sdcard folder.

Debloat script will work,
If you want to flash 'Mod sound_thermal_sdcard_buildprop.zip',you need to remove "build.prop" from the zip file.
i,e open zip file--Delete build.prop using xpolre file manager
In this case all mods work except build.prop tweaks.
Or
Edit your rom build.prop(using xplore fm open rom.zip-->copy bulid.prop to sdcard--->copy #Added Tweaks found in build.prop file of 'Mod sound_thermal_sdcard_buildprop.zip'--->open build.prop on your sdcard with text editor--->pasted copied lines at the end.
Now with this new edited build.prop on sdcard replace biild.prop in 'Mod sound_thermal_sdcard_buildprop.zip' using xplore fm.
Now you can flash this zip with working build.prop tweaks too.

As far as I know, whetstone.apk is for RAM management. I read it somewhere about MIUI.
I uninstalled it, not because of this thread, and facing minor issues.
The issue particularly come from background music playing.
Some players with hi res capability often to crashing while playing in thr background, and need to restart the player to make work again.
It occur with: jet audio, neutron, and playerpro. The highest occurrences are with neutron.
