Currently running deodexed LP3 and ICS Domination 4.1 Theme and I really like touchwiz over nova, apex, trebuchet launchers etc etc.
The only thing I'm missing is a 5 icon dock with the app drawer icon in the middle.
I've decompiled the tw apk but I don't understand where to make the changes so I'm begging someone here who know how to make it for me
I'm sure more than me would appreciate it.
the original TW launcher didn't allow you to change dock settings, and also its laggy, bad, no choices for animations transitions etc..
Go with apex launcher, its the best for ICS, and go to its Setting>Dock settings>Number of dock icons then change the value to 5
Tried Apex and the others, don't like them. Touchwiz is the way to go. Definitely not laggy, and I don't need all thoose fancy choices for settings.
Somehow you can "hack" it to allow 5 icons, it's been done before and I have decompiled older versions that are changed to allow 5 icons but they differ in the smali code so I have no clue where to look. And I don't have the time to learn smali either.
Fairly certain the older versions containing 5 dock icons were ported from a variant of the Galaxy S II (may have been the 4G Touch?) so I guess until someone figures out how to port it from GB to ICS, or the 4G Touch gets ICS, you may be out of luck.

The SGS2 TouchWiz has 5 icons; however, the middle one opens the app drawer and is unchangeable.

Hi all!
Is it possible to make a ROM that contains something from Sense and something from Touchwiz?
I really like the way Samsung does with the icon in the menu, by swiping to right and not a long list that goes down, like HTC does. And the four icons Samsung has at the bottom looks nicer and more useful, that HTC's bottombar.
But I like Sense better overall, that's why I'm wondering if it's possible for me to get a rom with Sense but also with the four bottom icons and the swiping to rinht in the menu (I mean where all of the apps are).
PS! I also like how the dropmenu looks like in Samsung and that you can delete and add as many homescreens as you want.
If you really want the side swipping application screen, just install ADW Launcher
Not a usefull answer guy. He want Sense!
I think in future there will be a modified Sense Version like Launcher Pro for now the only way is to develope it
Or try the rom from ephumuris [ROM] Gefrost Galaxy S Style A2SD, Touchwiz, Music mod

But isen't that a ROM just with Touchwiz and not Sense?
Best you can do atm is install the Samsung Galaxy launcher on top of a Sense rom. Then you will have all the good sense apps (mail, browser, gallery).

Yeah but none of the widgets. However there are a lot of good replacements. That is the best solution for this guys problem though.
I have the same "problem" ...
I want the coloured square background behind the icons in appdrawer.
I started mixing up files from touchwiz.apk and rosie.apk, but first try results in no sense available anymore
I will continue mixing until I get a result!
Someone knows which files are for the appdrawer in the apk???
Hi Guys,
I was just checking if I can get the Galaxy S like home screen on my DHD and found the TouchWiz Launcher APK in the forum. I was able to install this successfully but the Icons it is showing are the default Sense icons. Is there anyway I can change the Icons to Galaxy S like icons.
One thing... I have not rooted my handset yet.
Thanks.

Hmmm not exactly the answer you may be looking for but try purchase ADW EX Launcher. It has an iPhoneish setting which gives icons a coloured background and you can use the horizontal swipe app drawer aswell as modify the dock to a touchwiz style interface.
Regards.
I tried ADW Launcher with Gal S Theme which gave me Icons like Galaxy S. But In ADW, I am not able to select dock with 4 icons. The options are only 5, 3, 1 or none. So, I tried removing the Dock completely and extended the home screen to 5 rows so that I can use the bottom row as 4 icon dock. But the problem now is there is no dock at all in app drawer as well.
with custom 5 icon docks for touchwiz is it possible to relocate the "applications" icon from its far right position? it is not possible with a otb rom.
Have you tried an application like LauncherPro, or Go Launcher? They offer settings to change your dock, to have the icons in whatever order you want, linking to whatever you want, with any icons you want (there is even an ICS icon pack).
yes, im actually using go launcher on my g2x i like the look and feel of touchwiz. kind of bored with stock android atm. appreciate the insight.
Ever since I got my Galaxy Note 1 I really wanted to stick as stock TouchWiz as possible. The features it adds are enough to keep me from jumping to any AOSP based ROM, but with that I'd like to stick to as much stock TouchWiz stuff as possible. Modded lockscreens and launchers help, but sometimes things are still missing and it's really, REALLY annoying. Here's a couple pet-peeves I have, and I would LOVE to know if anyone knows of a good fix:
Cannot create folders by dragging icons on top of one another
Cannot resize most widgets
Cannot change the bottom dock when something has been recommended (i.e. when docked in a desk or car dock)
Bizarre slowdown when switching to a homescreen with any kind of widget
Lag when opening the widget drawer, and then turning each successive page
Thankfully the grid size has been fixed by modded launchers, but pretty much all of the above problems are keeping me from using the TouchWiz launcher. Any ideas on fixes?
I would love a lot more features from TouchWiz to, Hide Dock and Status bars, Gestures, Themeing, Icon Changing, Grid size changes. Would like to do this on the fly but Im not to sure what is needed for all the featrues to be functional.
In the case of the Note II all of its unique features, aside from the sheer size of the display, are tied to TouchWiz. The one thing I don't like about TouchWiz on my Note II is the wasted space on the home screens. More icons could easily fit in each row. Four icons per row is such a waste, IMO.

I agree, if TW had a lot more features it would make it hard to leave behind. But the lack of simple features is such a let down at times. 5.5" screen and like stated above what in the world were they thinking of just making it a 4x4 none rotating launcher?
Thank god for the XDA community though and all the available mods/roms that at least made TWiz a little better. Like mine is a 5x5 with rotation. Not much improvement but it helps. Still going back and fourth between it and Apex. Only draw back to Apex is the Sammy specific features wont work on it.
Most or all of the things you are looking for are possible if not through stock than surely through custom roms... would bw nice to see an AOSP/TW hybrid tho

Sorry if this has been asked. I've looked high and low found them on other carrier note 4 forums and even tried them with our verizon note 4. But I can't find any made for our note 4. I'm looking to change my grid size from stock 4x4 to 5x5 or 6x6 anything other then stock. I know I can use Nova or some other 3rd party launcher but that's not what I'm trying to get here. I have a retail note 4 converted to a developer edition and flashed every rom that we have in our forum I always find my way back to jasmine rom. it's all but stock then I add my xposed and tweet it to my liking but now I would like to get more use of my 5.7 inch screen other then what samsung wants me to use. I just hate 4x4 gid so much valuable room wasted. Like I said I tried the other grid packs from sprint and t-mobile but once there in they bug out so I'm hoping someone has made them for our verizon note 4. Any help would be great and thanks for taking the time to try and help..

I'm looking for this as well, has anyone found a 5x5? 6x6?
I could be wrong, but I believe that you can accomplish this by changing the default DPI to something different, while also changing the launcher to something like Google Now. When I flashed CM13, my DPI was different and I got rows of 5 apps by default with the Google Now Launcher.
EDIT: Nevermind, I see that you would like this feature with the stock launcher. Not sure then.

Thanks for the reply, but yeah, looking for this in TouchWiz. I currently use Nova which is a great launcher, but I miss having a few of the TW only widgets.

Try Next launcher 3D shell. Google it or get it off blackmart. It works with stock widgets. It's what I use and I like it. just don't use there widgets or turn on the 3D part.
