!INSTRUCTIONS :
1. YOUR PHONE MUST BE ROOTED
2. USE ROOT EXPLORER AND MOUNT THE SYSTEM AS R/W.
3. PLACE THE TouchWiz30Launcher.APK IN SYSTEM/APP
4. NOW PLACE THE libglcanvas.so IN THE SYSTEM/LIB
DISCLAIMER : I AM NOT RSPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE

What is the difference to Froggers TW4.5 exactly?
What are the improvements implemented?
Let us know some more from inside.
Thanks
i find it more stable and its really for people that have trouble with any other tw4 (force closes etc:
I understand. Thanks for the information.
Anyhow, I had never any problems with the TW4.5 1.4.3 of Frogger.
Thanks and keep up the work.

TW 4.5 launcher freezes often on my phone. Has this TW launcher also such a problem? Can i use scrollabel widgets?

Tested on Coldflids ROM JVQ, so far so good.
Will feedback if anything goes wrong.
Thanks
no need to install shareapp.apk?
will try it out
Is this particular tw4 as ram hungry as the others? As that really puts me off any rom using it as they are always more sluggish than those without it.

Does the stock Power Monitor Widget from Samsung work with your TW4 launcher?
Ok I didn't want to reply so soon but I have found a bug: when you change the amount of dock icons the system crashes forcing one to do a hard reset.

Oh... ok! thanks! ... but will you add the sorting by name automatically?
This is very similar to my Guru'd Nightly, minus the ringtone package and other wiz-bang goodies. I don't have the time to do a full write up at the moment, but I wanted to get this posted while its still fresh. This is Nightly 20120808 based.
This package has everything you need, to get everything you need! No need to flash a gapps package, in fact it would be silly to do so. Just like my Guru'd Nightly, everythings theme'd and optimized. You've got the Market app to get your apps, Solid Explorer for Root file access, and much more.
Happy Flashing Folks....... Remember, this is a full wipe installer.... It will wipe System, Data, and Cache during install... Make a backup beforehand...
Know that I test everything I post.... But, there is no warranty, implied or otherwise associated with my ROM's. If you break your device, its you own fault!
Included:
Market App
The original Music app....
HoloLauncher HD
AwesomeBeats
My Modded Torch
RealCalc
Solid Explorer
Built in V6, same as my Nightly build. (From terminal type "su" then "v6")
And all in a package that's less than 100mb
I'll be back later for a more in depth writeup. Hope you enjoy....

Hello. I want to share with you Touchwiz UX launcher that i modified to work with CM10 on galaxy ace
Launcher and all required libs are in CWM flashable zip attached. I have also included all necessary libs that are required for SGS3 weather widget to work.
You can get weather widget in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846100
How to install:
- Reboot to recovery
- Flash attached zip file
- Reboot
Be aware that this can damage your device, so dont hold me responsible if you brick your Galaxy Ace.
I havent fully tested modded app so if there are any bugs (wich i think there are) please let me know.
Thanks a lot!

4/17 - I've now updated it to a flashable zip, you get the S4 launcher and S4 weather widget
I love AOSP roms for the customizability and I also really like the touchwiz launcher so after many, many trials and errors and having to learn how to use apktool to decompile and build apk's i've modded the touchwiz launcher to work for AOSP roms. I know this isn't anything new since it's been done before, what makes this different is the homescreen is a 4x5 layout and the app drawer is 4x6 with a fully themed S4 Accuweather widget. I know a lot of you use custom launchers and this is not your cup of tea, this is for those who like the look of a stock launcher with a custom aosp rom.
The S4 weather widget really gave me a hard time, and because I was just learning it took me a very long time to get it to work but i've finally figured it out and it should work without any problems. Please note that in order to avoid a widget display problem I had to make the widget thumbnail in the app drawer transparent. It shows up just fine once you apply it.
I'll welcome any feedback and all I ask for is a thanks if you like it.
This should be compatible on any AOSP, CM10.1 based roms. I am personally using LiquidSmooth stable version.
Please make a backup and use at your own risk
Installation instructions:
Download Link
It's now flashable!
Copy to SD card
Flash in recovery
Reboot and enjoy!

I'd like to give credit to dr30ma for the original s4 weather widget for the I9300 from which I ported over to work with our device. Also, thanks to Andybones for the universal flasher tool I used.

Can anyone who has successfully got this working try to see if the GS3 Touchwiz camera works? If part of the TW framework is installed, maybe some of the proprietary apps will work as well.

I'm not sure that it will as I have not tested it. I would assume no since I only edited the values that are relevant to our screen DPI but you should be able to test without any consequences. Report back if you decide to try it. Thanks.

S4 SecLauncher finished
Wasn't too bad porting the s4 launcher to work. I'm using a TW rom at this very moment so i'm unable to test it on an AOSP rom so if I have any volunteers i'll post the link to the launcher. If you've already installed the launcher from this post then you will just replace the SecLauncher2.apk in /system/app with this one. Rename your original something like SecLauncher.bak just in case you wanna go back to it you could just rename it back to original. This one also has a 4x5 homepage and a 4x6 menu layout.
Download Link
Don't forget to remove the "s4" from s4SecLauncher2.apk after you copy it over or else it won't work.
Apologies if this is a dumb question but will this give me the Touchwiz dialer or gesture control, like swiping with the hand to screenshot? I'm also using Liquidsmooth and those are the only things I really miss.

No, it just gives you the launcher and weather widget. Although I'm also on liquid smooth and I installed it like it says in the op, and whenever I try to open touchwiz it just forces close on me. Fixed permissions, cleared caches, still the same result.

Hello again ,
I started getting force closes whenever I used the aosp messaging app or the aosp phone app..this was the case with the initial s3 launcher.
As for the s4 launcher, It wouldn't lemme get to the home screen. Touch wiz kept force closing as soon as I rebooted once I finished pushing the file.
I am on aosp deviant xone BTW .

I know what's happening...I forgot to include the badgeprovider.apk which notifies you when you get a text and you'll keep getting force closes without it. I'll upload it here in a second. Just push it to /system/app and fix permissions, and reboot and you'll be good to go. I'll fix the original package and upload it seperately for you so you don't have to download the whole thing again.
Download BadgeProvider.apk
Almost forgot to mention, this will just fix the s3 launcher force closing not the s4 launcher. Still need time to figure it out the s4 launcher on AOSP, works fine in Touchwiz.
