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..

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...

(...) I am trying to add my most used apk's to the ROM so they'll install upon flashing. I added all my apk files to system/apps dir as told, but after flash and first boot, only 1 of the 19 apps is present. What am I missing?

Hi guys and gals! If anyone with experience out there could help out, I'd greatly appreciate it. Trying to add to Redux 1.2.
Not a DEV or anything but i have flashed many roms in my time but i can tell you this, from my experience i can tell you that i assume there is some kind of file size/type limitation when you add apps to a ROM as i have attempted adding poweramp, ADW EX, mybackup root, file manager (from AOSP builds) and a few other apps that i use to the ROM but it will only install rom manager, mybackup root, file manager and the balance will FC each time i attempt to launch the app and if i want to use it i have to install the app again.
The only flawless solution is the method the RC team is using on their current RCMixS ROMS.
That is heavy coding on another level.

Hi guys,
I am on CM9 and I want to replace the trebuchet launcher with the one from the S3 mod from safariking. I don't want to use his rom because it ain't smooth and has a high memory usage. So I place the so-called SecLauncher from S3 mod in system/app and set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and delete Trebuchet. The next time I boot, i get FC.
What am I doing wrong?
Problem solved. I had to download a file called "libdrawglfunction.so" from a thread in the themes and apps section. Put it in system/lib and the launcher works.

Download .apk
Move to /system/apps
Set permissions to rw-r--r--
Reboot
This might do the trick

cycloneblast's method works. Finally happy with custom roms where live wallpapers didnt worked.
Thanks Cycloneblast I was able to fix my LWP error. My alternate process below:
How to fix - unfortunately live wallpaper picker has stopped.
1. Backup and Uninstall the system
-Live Wallaper Picker-
{livewallpaperspicker.apk}
ONLY (NOT livewallpapers.apk) with -Lucky Patcher-(you need to enable system files in Lucky Patcher) or some other App like that (you don't need to uninstall any already installed live wallpapers).
2. Download many livewallpaperspicker.apk you can find all over the internet (including the one in this thread by <cycloneblast>) for different Android versions(doesn't matter even if the version is not specified, download anything you can).
3. Install the livewallpaperspicker.apk for the Android version you are running.
4. If it still says unfortunately live wallpaper picker... then Install other versions and test them(you don't need to restart your device).
5. If stil not working, then remove odex file of the Live Wallpaper Picker with Lucky Patcher and then repeat steps 3 and 4.
6. If STILL not working then remove corpses with -SD Maid-(you need to enable system files in it's settings first which is usually turned off when you install it). WARNING: Use this at your own RISK.
with that livewallpaperpicker don´t woks for me. i put another one the 4.4 (for kitkat) and works really fine. with live wp again.
