[Q] Personalize Touch Wiz? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Does anyone know if we can change icons in touchwiz without root access? I like the ability to change our fonts and feel icons should be an option as well but do not see an option.
Thanks

The most that can be done in your case without root is to download a launcher from the market ADW, launcher pro etc.

Thanks for the quick reply.. I'll probably wait now that samsung has released the source code for our kernal.. I'm guessing we'll have ported roms in no time!

We'll have some roms, but the question is how soon. I would assume we'd have to wait 2 more weeks for a rom and probably a few more days for root access. Btw your welcome.

you can change fonts by going under settings display..and clicking the first option there should be something under there to change fonts...and if you want different icons on your home screens download desktop visualizer and an icon pack and put those there instead.

[Q] App drawer scrolling on touch wiz

Hi All!
I really love the new TouchWiz but one thing that is annoying is the scrolling on app drawer. it to much iphone and not so comfortable.
so I wonder, is there a way to change the app drawer so it will be scrolling down and has 3D like the stock android/adw?
Thank You!
Switching to an alternative launcher like ADW Launcher EX is probably the easiest solution.
Try the "Nexus"-preset & "Vertical new" for the app drawer!
I think you didn't understood me properly(or maybe I didn't explain myself clear):
I really like what samsung did with the TouchWiz 4. So I want to keep it.
I want just to change the AppDrawer to be vertical scrolling(prefer with 3d).
Is theres a way to do that?
Im used to app drawers with the apps sorted in alfabetic order.
Is there an easy way of doing this in TW4?

In the app drawer, hit menu and then 'List view'. A reboot will default to the original.
No 3d I'm afraid.

Its possible yes....
This is achieved with an app called WidgetLocker...
The possibilities to create your own unique lockscreen is virtually endless..
no i dont mean widget locker. This picture is from a custom rom. And this lockscreen is no app, its an modified stock lockscreen.

Well.. then they have built the widgetlocker app into the ROM...
It's not that unique..
Call it whatever you want,, you can duplicate it with WidgetLocker.

I dont think its widgetlocker...
I mean if they edit their framework (i dunno which .xml it is), they can get this as a normal lockscreen...

Correct.... but OP asked how to achieve the effect on SG2
And the answer to that is WidgetLocker...
I could also write that we could make a launcher for him, but who would bother do that just for the lockscreen which you can mod with stock Touchwiz launcher...
I attached my lockscreen just as an example...

True ^^
I just wanted to say that because i didn't see the WL icon on the statusbar (i've never used it so i dunno if it's always there)
And i was also wondering because it's 99% the same as the original one (the bar on the bottom is the 1% which isn't normal)
and also his carrier is there on top (vodafone.de)

Hi,
just a quick question, how did you get the batter percentage on the lock screen and also missed call, sms email etc icons? I already have widgetlocker but did not see these options. (mine is has now been rooted)
thanks

All android phones have this lockscreen built in, its just a matter of how you
enable it. with my last phone i could delete htclockscreen.apk and my phone
would then have that lockscreen. I dont know the exact procedure to enable
this lockscreen on the sgs2, normally its done by the rom chef and you can
select it in the settings.
Look or ask here for info if you dont want some 3rd party lockscreen (which i dont)

Thank u esk02k:
This is what i was looking for, but i dont know exactly if its possible to use this on SGS2?
I m sure everyone who had a SGS1 with a custom rom know what i mean and what i m looking for.
Did you mean the Android Stock Lockscreen?
Yes Sir
If anyone is willing to spend some time for me, I can get it working. I don't have a device to test. I got good experiance with lockscreens.

Ok i m just updating now to XWKE7.
Great, I'm also intrested in this as I don't like the Samsung Lockscreen and Widgetlocker is a bit buggy sometimes. I'm also available to test something if you need me to
Ok done. Now i am on a rooted KE7 Firm. Just send me a pn when you´r ready
Is there a Deodexed ROM for KE7? It would be hard to work with Odexed rom, since you have to re-odex the files using your device and ADB.

The short answer is yes. In theory you can use any icon on any app. The trick is putting it all together.
You have two options. You can either create a flashable theme our you could manually replace the icon file in the apk you are wanting to change it on.
The first takes time and know-how. The second requires more time and know-how but is probably easier.
But after looking at those icons I might be seeing if I can get permission to use then in a theme I've been playing around with. No promises but if it works out I'll forward it on.
So say if I want to change it in a theme..I just change them out an flash it?

You download the zip then extract with Root Explorer or similar app. Then the show in Gallery. You can generally use them for homescreen icons and such with s launcher that allows you to edit icons. I actually grabbed the same ones a few days ago and I use Nova launcher so I added some with that

Holo locker is buggy, it unlocks if you tap home button. And has no google voice on the "swipe to top".

I'm pretty sure that no app is able to replace stock lockscreen properly and qualitatively.
Only by modifying/replacing the system files can be achieved desirable result...
The best solution will be provided by JKay's Mod.

Still does not play nice with 3rd party launchers. I remember some lame bug on it, plus the fact it hasn't been updated since then.
I'm also using holo locker at the moment i'm currently on wanamlite 3.8 but would rather have the JB lockscreen so have resorted to using holo locker for the moment until i ca find a way of flashing the lock screen if its even possible???
Holo Locker has a few bugs which iritate me when ever i close the screen down you get the standard lock sound which it then does again a couple of seconds later

Thanks a lot. But it is not exactly what I want. I just need lockscreen +maybe CRT on/off, that's all. I don't need any tweaks related to taskbar/tasklist etc.
How can I get it separately?

I am currently using Omega v33.1. But I badly miss the original jellybean lockscreen that came with parandroid rom which I tried not so long ago. I will keep searching for this on XDA as well as Google (just a noob expression I'm afraid). Hopefully I will find some mod which modifies some system files to achieve this. I have tried widget locker from play but experienced some irritating bugs.
BTW could anyone please guide me how to request some developer to build this or at least discuss is it possible at all.
Cheers.
I tried holo locker from play store. Pretty descent with no apparent bugs or fc. But sadly it isn't compatible with juicedefender. Prevents auto disable of data/wifi while screen is off.
