someone I know HS a Tmobile GSII and the home screens loop so you don't just hit the end and have to scroll back. Why doesn't the ET4G touchwiz do this? How can we enable this? I know I can use another launcher but I trying to use the phone with TW.

For some reason T-Mo got this feature and we didn't. I thought we were going to see it in the update but we didn't.
yeah I am trying to stick with touch wiz to test if go launcher was really a battery drain so I guess I'll just deal with this

There are... but none have been ported for use on the Epic. You can use CM7 and it will give you all the options for different lock screens which in turn will change your incoming call screen.
Other than that, I don't know of any that will work for the Epic.
yea im using midnight rom atm. thanks though. hopefully something will come about.
not sure if this is what you meant, but there are a few dialer replacements on the android market.
The ones that come to mind are:
Go Contacts (seems to be popular lately)
TakephONE
Dialer One
EDIT: I just actually read your post.. and sure these don't have any affect on (during) call screen. but, fwiw.
yea not actually what im looking for but those programs are nice. go contacts i think im actually gonna use just cause i like it. thx
I may just be asking to be flamed, but I have to know how come the stock launcher (NON TOUCHWIZ) hasn't been put out yet. Yes I know of Launcher pro and others. The sprint ID one that has been removed from the good roms was pretty good. Also Marcuant from the Epic forums has a ICS beta that's awesome and the launcher on it is cool. Anyway to port that or is the Source files from ICS needed to make that happen?

I'm a little confused as to what you are looking for. If you mean the stock Gingerbread launcher (since that is what we are on) there are a handful of them available in the market.
ASOP Launcher. Or the new ICS launcher. Maybe it's a clone but it's the [email protected] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295515 He has no pics but I did flash the rom on a buddies epic and it runs smooth. The launcher doesn't have the bugs that the other clones do.

The launcher works perfectly on our GS2 FYI.

Thanks for the quick responses. I've played with that one before and it's still laggy and the quicklinks on the right doesn't work well. I really just want someone to abstract the launcher out of the sprint id that's stock android so I can use that as my daily. Oh Snap. This one works well. SMS doesnt work.

The one I linked you to is what Marcusant is using in his ICS themed rom. If you wanna use the stock gingerbread launcher, you've already got it. Just clear defaults on TouchWiz launcher and hit home, select it from the menu. Or use the app 'Home Switcher' and select it in there. Done and done.
I love this launcher. Is there any way to reduce the number of screens from 5 down to 3?
[Q] Best ROM for using as MP3 Player? Remove "phone" button and disable cell antenna?
Just got a droid incredible and I'm using it as an mp3 player (ipod touch killer).
Basically, I don't need verizon service (cell antenna) or the phone button.
What's the best ROM for this? Would like something stable without many (or any) bugs (compared to stock).
Also would like one that would extend battery life if it doesn't sacrifice much else.

I would use one of the stock based roms like my rom Touch of Blue, or jermaines Stock+ rom. I do not know how to turn off the radio in a way that is presistent after a reboot. To remove the phone button you would need to decompile a couple framework apks edit them and then recompile them. Not sure exactly what you would need to edit. I know how to make it not say phone but there would still be a pushable button there that brings up the dialer.
Mabey i will look into making a rom like this for fun. It might get some use now that a lot of people have retired their incredibles and moved to other newer phones.
So even if I use a an AOSP rom, I would still have the phone button issue?
What about using GB with Sense 3.0?
I'll take a look at your ROM, thanks
If the presence of the phone button will bother you, just use a custom launcher with whatever rom you flash.

There's a script somewhere in the dev forum that disables everything but wifi if I am not mistaken, and changing over to something like launcher pro should satisfy your no phone needs.
Try this maybe.

and you can use Go Launcher or Launcher Pro Plus for your custom launcher and have no phone button.
Personally I'd go with Launcher Pro Plus.. I think it's quicker, though the developer has stopped developing it- it's still solid for our phones.
just delete the phone apk on the rom? you can always reflash if you run into issues. it should give a battery increase too.

That will not actually remove the phone button though, it just wont bring up the dial pad.

i was talking as in cm7
Wow thanks for the replies everyone.
For the time being, I've put the phone in airplane mode and kept wifi on.
I will try a different launcher soon - I also have an HTC flyer and had issues with other launchers (stability-wise).
I will root the phone when I get a chance so I can use that script.
a guide to do this
I have a guide that would help you do this.
It probably needs a little updating since i'm doing another phone I will add what ever new info I find

Cool. I am looking to do something similar for my retired Incredible. My goal is to use it as a GPS tracker. Specifically to do this:

Will check out your guide and let you know.
I'd like to be able to scroll wallpapers when switching from screen to screen but, as most of you have noticed, this isn't available on the TouchWiz launcher (the launcher used on our SGS3s).
Has anyone found a way of getting around this like we used to be able to do in previous Android versions? I really like being able to see the full picture and scroll it rather than seeing it every screen from screen to screen.
If your rooted flash FreeGs3 rom. It give you the option choosing the wall paper scrolling.
Apple just give up the IPHONE sucks deal with it.

Does it change the launcher to that of a third-party or is it still TouchWiz? I'd kind of like to keep TouchWiz if possible. I have been looking for some new ROMs, so thank you for the heads up on that one.

Your welcome check out his rom I think you going love it. Make sure you use twrp recovery better than cwm
Apple just give up the IPHONE sucks deal with it.
Thanks guys. I'll give it a try immediately.
EDIT: There's one problem...where can I find a version and tutorial on how to install TWRP recovery for my device? I can only find links sending me to places that flash only for the Galaxy Nexus or other carriers and it says that they will only work with those models.

I feel like such a noob I can't resolve this and I've been using android for a while. But I just started doing this when wake my phone with the home key button it automatically opens up to my recent apps menu. It's annoying I have Nova Launcher, Widget locker and running Jedi. Any ideas how I can make this home key go back to just waking my phone instead of recent apps. Also I checked nova launcher and widget locker to see what they are telling the home key to do and neither of them are telling the key to do this...
