[APP] Tweaked Touchiz 4 Launcher *Change Homescreen/5 Icon Dock/Sort apps*

FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO STATE, I HAVE NOT CREATED THIS LAUNCHER, I AM NOT TRYING TO TAKE CREDIT FOR Fr4gg0r AND Swiftworks WORK!
I am just posting this as there is not a thread about it on the SGS II forums and it works fine for me

Installation
Install the tw4.zip in recovery (also contains ShareApp.apk; this will remove the old twlauncher, so make sure you have another launcher as backup installed!) (if zip does not install the app, /system is not mounted rw, then push the app manually to /system/app/ [remove TouchWiz30Launcher.* if present!] or
install the launcher as normal app. This will have some restrictions: for example it cannot uninstall apps (not really tested; only possible if you don't already have a twlauncher installed!)

How about the samsung widgets? Does it needs resizing after pushing the launcher?

Is there any possibility to have a 4x5 drawer?

where is tw4 manager ?

i fin it thanks 4 this port

Calendar widget doesn't work. Nice job

Definitely making me lean towards going back to TouchWiz. How's the compatibility when you change DPI?

dock apps
good job.
I tryed to put it on my galaxy s II, but I don't undestand how to add icon apps in the dock space. If I try to move icon over the dock there is a trash icon. At the moment in the dock there is only the application icon.

Go to app drawer then press edit

Thanks man good job

works very well.
by cons but I have no preference options launcher is in notification?
is not something I have tw4manager how please.

Nice but ...
Hmm, it has potential, but far too many annoyances to make it usable. The biggest being that there is no way that I can see to be able to rearrange the icons in the dock, who the hell wants the app drawer launcher on the right? And, like Touchwiz, the dock and home-screen scroller dots take up way too much screen estate.
Meh, excited to start with, ultimately let down. Back to Launcher Pro Plus, which is what always happens when I try an alternative launcher. I should learn not to fiddle really

Other icons can be adjusted but yes, not being able to move app drawer icon is annoying. Will take a look myslef even though this isn't my work.

I think i saw an autohide option in the settings, will look later, look in preferances

I only have the app launcher in the dock, how can i add phone, contacts...?

It's kind of good. But it really seems like it's lacking. There needs to be more dock backgrounds, more options, more themes. Still, it is better than stock. It's just that it doesn't do much.
Hmm I've had a couple of force closes when using SMS. It says it is due to twlauncher. This is the first launcher related force close I've encounted.

i think the biggest letdown, imo, is that you have to reload widgets to get them all working again. means something is wrong in the coding where modified unfortunately.

Doesn't seem fully baked. I switched to 5 rows and went to populate the home screens and the first app I dropped in appeared to fall in between the screens. It did not show on any screen but I could see it as I used the slider to go between screens. Nothing I could do would let me get hold of it and delete it. Love the concept and its something I have been asking about so I hope some of the smart people run with this and get the issues worked out. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

Um if I didn't do a back up before flashing this zip, how can I get back to stock TWlauncher?
Is there anywhere I can get it? Because this launcher is buggy. My messaging is totally borked.

Subscribed I was looking for one that disables wallpaper scrolling to test live wallpaper performance.
Edit: Awesome stuff, apart from Microbes, no stuttering when swiping between homescreens with the new scrolling behaviour.
Using a 5x5 layout, marvelous use of that large screen.
Nice icon btw

Trying now.. :-D
From my fingers to your eyez

please add a scrollable "3-dock" mode like Go Launcher (and gestures if that's not too much work)
thanks!

Just used the update.zip and all is great

yeah, gestures are very important for me too.
swipe down pulls the statusbar down and swipe up locks the screen...

Installed and running fine, excellent replacement launcher!
Please add more scrolling effects like cascading, cross fading...
A novice question, is this launcher gpu accelerated? Or it's relying on the force gpu option?

Wow excellent launcher! Nice work and thanks!
Just wondering if you could add the option to have the persistent google search thingy... I kind of got used to it.
Also the ability to stick your folders into the app drawer would be nice as well.

Would it be possible to fit the market shortcut back into the app draw? maybe near the settings icon? I kinda liked that, and used it all the time.

Nice! I like where this is heading. I would love too see the ability to choose how many home screens to have, and the ability to create folders in the app drawer (10p sale has filled it right up!)

There's a problem with the icons, whatever I changed it wont register and it restored back to default every reboot. I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I've tested it few times already.

Some bugs
First of all thanks for this great mod, I think it has great potential.
After setting up my Homescreens I found some bugs.
1. If I disable wallpaper scrolling after some time the wallpaper isn´t anymore centered.
2. After a reboot, there are some widgets disappeared from the Homescreens. After readding the widgets, this happens again after a reboot.
3. One time happend (after switching from market back to homescreen) that the searchbar widget comes back on top of my homescreens and it overlaps it with my widgets.
If I find another bugs, I will report them again.
Thanks again and keep working on it!
Edit: The issue under 2 appears when u add the widgets the 'old way' by long-pressing on home screen. If u add them through the app drawer they are still there after a reboot.

I had this problem with ADW too, I'm using repacked ITL41F with stock kernel. So it doesn't appear to be unique to Nova Launcher

Great launcher but I've got a couple of suggestions:
Although everyone seemed to hate the search bar at the top I'd kinda got used to it and now miss it so an option to keep it there would be great.
How about having a homescreen Scroll effect the same as the one in the app drawer?
Other than that keep up the good work!

Agreed, miss my search bar

Excellent, I've been looking for something that would essentially just remove the search bar
However 2 things would be great
1) An option to set the number of home screens
2) For some reason I can't use Desktop Visualiser to replace the stock icons at the bottom. On the ICS launcher I can choose "Desktop VisulizR" to add a custom shortcut, small enough to replace Phone, Contacts etc. But for some reason this widget doesn't show in Nova launcher.
Great work, looking forward to full release.

I don't use the black background cuz I like it, it's because WP clock does not properly work on the Nitro. When using WP Clock with a background image, the image will not fill the whole screen, but leaves this little space at the bottom about half the height of the dock, so it looks somewhat funny. WP clock said they are working on a new version of WP clock, which is optimized for HD screens.

Even better haha

Ok, I've got nothing to "flaunt", but I am finally happy with my lockscreen =) For whatever reason, I felt compelled to tinker with the lock screen a bit, so I'm sharing what I did-
I use the lock pattern, but I hate the dots, hate the carrier, hate the line separating the time and the dots, and hate the emergency call button. Ugly... So I changed them all =)
Changed PNGs to transparent dots
Removed carrier in lock screen (as well as notification bar from before) - XML edit
Made the separator line super faint (turns out I like a tiny bit of line =) ) - PNG swap
Removed emergency call button so it only appears after failed pattern unlock - XML edit
I know where the dots are, so I just have them appear only when pressed (but even then, I made them more transparent)
Now I'm happy =)

looks pretty schnazzy in here!

At least I think its pretty.

No screen shots to provide but I have tried a few combinations of having different widgets but found it slows down the phone enough for me to notice lag. For example, once I add a full calendar widget to one of the home screen the switch between screens becomes laggy. Does that happen with you guys too?

What launcher are you using? It really depends on the launcher. And have you done a hard reset on your phone after rooting? Doing a hard reset significantly improve the smoothness of the phone.

I'm using Go Launcher. Tried out LauncherPro but it wasn't as smooth. I have done a hard reset as well after rooting. I noticed the biggest difference after freezing some apps. Still, if I add a large calendar widget there is a noticeable lag. Maybe I'm expecting too much.

Mos Def. I just wish their app drawer can be much smoother. One thing I like about Launcher Pro was how smooth the transitioning is and scrolling.

[APP] Lockscreen Policy - Disable Android 4.2+ Lockscreen Widgets, Camera

Published to Google Play, Here
(Attached v1.2.2, v1.2.3)
This gets rid of the lockscreen widgets and camera on the homescreen on Android 4.2 or higher.
If you have root, you can disable the bold-hour clock widget from the action bar menu, under 'Clock Hack'. (since 1.2)
The app is completely free. I don't foresee adding anything much to this app (I could add a couple of toggle widgets).
This is a lightweight app at 80KB.
There's a known issue under 4.2.2:
With the clock hack disabled, the clock widget toggles between the bold hour clock and the non-bold hour clock every other unlock. If your device is rooted, you can use the clock hack to get the device to consistently display the non-bold hour clock. Otherwise, there isn't anything I can do for you immediately. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I had no control over this.
Disable widgets and/or camera access on the lockscreen under Android 4.2.
Usage:
1) Run application
2) Make selections, and press activate
3) In the 'Activate device administrator' screen, choose 'Activate'
4) Verify settings, and press 'Apply'
5) To change settings, either press the 'Reset' button or hit the back key from the app to return to the setup screen
Uninstall:
To uninstall, uncheck the application from the 'Device Administrator' list under 'Security' in 'Settings'.
Privacy:
I do not collect any personal information with this completely free application.
No permissions other than device administrator required.

Thanks! The flashing widget placeholder on the lockscreen was annoying as hell.

This app succeeds where stock Android has failed. :good:

Thank goodness...
The lockscreen was seriously driving me nuts. I hated seeing that widget box every time I turned it on. Thank you for providing a way to turn it off. I just wish Google had made it optional in the first place.
Now, if you could just help me change that ugly, ugly clock font. :good:

It might be possible to change the default clock as more devs support lockscreen widgets, because I think it's just a widget there...

Looks good I am going to have to try this out.

Installing. The lockscreen changes haven't impressed me much.

works on Nexus 7

THANK YOU!
installing NOW.

I'll test it for you on Nexus S, send me the apk via PM or open it on Google Play.

Thanks for the report for the Nexus 7. I checked out some videos and realized that tablets don't have a camera swipe gesture on the lockscreen. Checking the 'camera' option doesn't really hurt anything though, at least as of the currently available Android API.
Functionally the app is not going to change much. The icon is hideous, but I know it's annoying to have to update for something minor like that, so that's not coming until there's a good idea for something that needs to be in the app.

It doesn't do anything for devices not running Android 4.2. If your device runs Android 4.2 already, you will see it in the Play Store.

Hey, could you please share the APK?
I can't download it on Play Store because my Galaxy Nexus on 4.2 seems to be incompatible...

Allow Clock Replacement Widget?
Thanks for getting this app up so quickly!
I know you're probably not going to add much to it, but I have one request. Is it possible to make it work with clock replacement widgets like the "Fixed 4.2 Clock Widget" (can't link to it in the Play Store because I haven't posted 10 times yet).
That widget fixes the weird bolded-hour clock thing Google decided to do for 4.2, but I can't use it if I disable widgets with your app. If there was a way to disable the addition of new widgets (swiping to the left) but still allow a replacement widget on the primary lock screen, that would be perfect.

Would it be possible to disable Google Now? I'd really appreciate that ability. How did Google screw the lock screen so bad?!

Not sure how the clock widget can be changed.
Also noticed that if a music player has lockscreen widgets, they show up on a new page...
You can disable system apps in Android 4.2. If you disable Google Search in Applications, you lose the swipe up gesture from the soft buttons, but the lockscreen will still show a weird looking dot where Google Now is activated.

Was just thinking the exact same thing. You're right, if this could be done it would be absolutely perfect. :good:

Why oh why do we have to look at that awful clock font? If only there was a way to remove it completely. And why did they decide to have that place holder flash up on the left every single time I unlock? I know I can add a widget, there's no need to remind me every single time I unlock!

I don't think I see a good way of changing the default widget unless you replace the system clock app.

[How-To] Android 4.3 Lockscreen - Adding Widgets

Android 4.3 Lockscreen - Adding Widgets/Creating your own Lockscreen
The Android 4.3 Lockscreen is an enigma. For those of you that have it figured out, good for you.
For the rest of us... some things just take a little longer.
- Transparent Weather Clock by Droid27 pictured for demonstration
Step 1. Settings/Lockscreen/Multiple widgets - Check this option
Step 2. Lock the phone
Step 3. Unlock the phone, place your finger near the top and HOLD and swipe down the screen (and release). You should see the Lock symbol at the bottom.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 4. Swipe right until you see the + symbol (You can have multiple lockscreens configured).
Step 5. Add your widget.
Step 6. Press the Lock symbol to save. This is my finished product.
How to make your new lockscreen the default lockscreen:
1. Open locksceen
2. Swipe down like above notes
3. Swipe right to get to your new lockscreen
4. HOLD AND DRAG the entire screen over to the very right of the screen, it will start to scroll right. Let it finish until it is now the HOME lockscreen.
(the lockscreen position indicator at the bottom will move as it drags also until the home icon is highlighted as default, then you can release)

Good idea to write it out. I'll admit that I have never even bothered setting anything but lock screen wallpaper because this is about what I thought was involved, lol, and I "pick my battles" for what to figure out.

I got tired of staring at just the clock and it was hard to find any information on the new 4.3 lockscreen because you can't really add anything to it, you have to create a new one.
Edit: And OMG, that clock weather widget has a ton of neat stuff you can customize the look of the widget with too.
Transparency level, darkness, fonts, icons, notifications, what info displays etc...

Nice write up :good: .

I'm on MOAR and I can't get by first step... I can't find that option. Thanx

It will only be available with Swipe as the default lockscreen (no security enabled).

Thanx, yes I use a pattern lock. I thought in MOAR mod control if you allow secure lock screen widgets that this may work...?

There's a difference between the Multiple Widgets and Lockscreen Widgets.
The Multiple Widgets enables multiple lockscreens where you can add an app shortcut or third party widget and the Lockscreen Widgets doesn't really enable third party widgets, just a few very limited things. I posted a screenie of the sub-menu it provides.

For anyone that tries this, feel free to share a screenshot of your custom lockscreen.
