I'm running Calk's E4GT 2 v1.2 ICS ROM. I thought ICS was supposed to let us put the camera app on the lockscreen but I can't find anyway to do it. I know I can get a 3rd party app like WidgetLocker to do it, just wondering if there's a way right in ICS though.

It's not a feature on TW.

I'm not using the TW Launcher though, I'm running the vanilla ICS launcher. Shouldn't that make a difference?

he probably means touchwiz as a whole not just the launcher. i think there is a flashable zip somewhere in the theme/app subforum to get the AOSP lockscreen that has the camera shortcut.
Ah, okay I get it now. Half asleep at work. I'll look for it and thanks guys!

You know you can add the vanilla lock on any rom. Did you know if you download home switcher from the market you can run the aosp launcher even if the phone is stock. I've noticed most people use adw and launcher pro

I know that if you've got ADW Launcher, there is a free ASOP theme available for it on the Market...BTW ADW Launcher is free also!
Yeah I was using Launcher2 on stock TW to begin with but I just missed the aosp lockscreen and taskbar. I'll just be using Bubs rom with launcher2 for now.

I just flashed salvage-mod 1.4 the other day and I extremely love this rom but I have a few issues with it such as the black messaging (i like white) and there is no silent state for the volume..
So what I really love about this rom is the launcher it has. Its the AOSP GB Launcher with settings to where you can change the number of screens (i prefer just 3) and has the 3D drawer and it runs so smooth and flawlessly.
I really want this launcher, but to be able to put it on CM7. I love CM7 but i dont like the adw launcher at all or any other launcher in the market. ADW Ex is great but the quality isnt great compared to the AOSP Launcher...
My question is... is there a way to get salvage-mod's launcher on to CM7? Like an apk? Or any other close alternative?
Or if someone could help me with the black messaging and silent state
Thanks!
I could be wrong but I believe that is the stock gingerbread launcher that comes with salvage mod. I think you can get it from the market. It could be Launcher Pro also. I prefer GO Launcher on AOSP roms for it's customization characteristics. ADW is good if you but the paid version. I don't know if there is a dark and light theme for the messaging app. If not you would have to theme it yourself or look in the themes section to see if someone else has already done it.

Just saying that it should be in the market. You said you really want that launcher on CM7. Look up gingerbread launcher or try GO Launcher. It has lots of options from number of screens to animations and many themes. Just trying to help.
Oh yes, sorry but all the GB launchers in the market dont have the options that the savage launcher has.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm sure those customizations are built into the framework. You're not likely going to find it for CM7. You can check the Themes and Apps section for the gingerbread launcher. There may be a modified version there. Kinda doubt it. Sorry
You can try using titanium backup back up the launcher and restore it to cm7 if the launcher apk was modified it will work if its a framework mod it wont work properly but its worth a shot

Not sure if it'll help at all, but I've done a similar thing with ICS when I wanted to use the Trebuchet Launcher instead of the source ics launcher. I extracted the Launcher2.apk from within the zip of the rom, and used it as a replacement in the exisiting rom. Just a matter of messing with the files within the flashable zip. Not sure if this will help you but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Is it possible to "transplant" an ICS lockscreen (ie from juggernaut 5.0) and install on another ROM?
I'm using MALICE now, with Eugene's new kernel. I'm tech savvy with some things but a noob with this stuff.

my lockscreen is transparent. I'm not exactly sure what's the process, but I had a picture from my gallery on there, and I flashed another ROM or something along those lines and the screen is transparent, probably because I don't have that picture anymore? not sure? You can try deleting the picture after you set it?
Sorry I don't know the exact way to do it, but it is possible.
What I did was download go launcher
Then I downloaded go locker then found the ics theme lockscreen then I set the default launcher for whichever rom I was running(don't pick go launcher). And boom ics lockscreen on the rom and you don't even have to run go luncher you just have to download it for the locker to work....probably not the way you wanted but that's probably the easiest way...ha

@teo032
I think he meant transplant not transparent. As far as making your lockscreen "transparent" goes, all you need to do is go to cwm and fix permissions, then reboot. It will remove the assigned lockscreen .jpeg file to none.
@evanladoux
Implementing a lockscreen to be built in to a rom is very long process and it requires that you understand programming fairly well.
Yea lockscreens never used to be hard, but in GB witb samsung, its a pain.
M&S
Thank you everybody for your replies.
I was looking to get a built in lockscreen rather than Go Locker, which is what I just went with.
I was hoping it might be as easy as unzipping a ROM, & rename/copy/paste a few files into the DD folders.
Its fine until we have a fully functional TMO ICS. I use Wifi Calling a LOT, so, the current batch of ICS ROMs won't work for me as a DD, though I appreciate all the dev's work to provide (ie M&S .. too many to list)

Apex Pro on cm10/aokp because it can be themed pretty good, trebuchet on cm9 because I think it is a great launcher, the touchwiz one I modded with scrolling wallpapers on touchwiz because there is no point in running touchwiz unless you want the full experience.

I've found Nova to be the best since it's based off of the JB launcher. You can also rotate the screen into landscape mode while in the launcher which is a huge pro.

Apex can also be rotated into landscape mode When I had the gnex I was a big Nova fan but lately Apex has been winning me over. Also, the latest betas for Apex are based off JB. It really comes down to personal preference though.

I find it funny that a lot of people are using a stock based ROM with a different launcher and claim their stock based ROM is the best, when every single ROM available has virtually the same tweaks in them. lol.
started with apex pro. didn't feel as smooth so i went with nova.

I don't want to flash because stock based ROMs don't offer enough improvements and new features to spend time flashing and reinstalling everything, while risking to brick the phone. I rooted the phone mainly to install AdBlock and Titanium Backup.
I run Go Launcher and Dialer One.
A question for those who went from Go to something else- what do other launchers have that Go doesn't?
Nova launcher prime ftw.
FTL launcher is good also .

That's because it doesn't exist.
And why would you want it? There are not super special features of the touchwiz launcher. It's a pretty bare bones launcher. All teh features of the stock phone are built into the rom, not the launcher.

Because I like it. Same reason you want to use whatever launcher you use. I like the weather widget too, don't like any other ones as they just look like cheap imitations. I had one on the s3 but I guess nobody's made one for the s4 yet.

The widget adds ons aren't part of launcher. And those are even less likely to be ported.
What Im saying about other launchers is that TW is kind of basic so you could take a nova or apex and customize it to look just like a TW launcher.
But the widgets arent going to be available outside of touchwiz.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Yes it is possible, because I had the S4 launcher AND weather widget on my S3 running liquid smooth. It's just a matter of time before somebody makes one. I personally don't like any other launcher because they don't have that subtle smoothness that the TW launcher has no matter what you customize on them.
Also, nova and other launchers don't have the same transitions as TW.
