Ok, I know there are a lot of threads with TW4.5 themes in the international GSII forums but I haven't been able to get any of them to work on our version...I was wondering if anybody had a link to something that has worked or the desire to port some of them.
I love this launcher, it's still got all of the functionality of stock TW but some cool features..so I'm trying to avoid going back to golauncher or LP to get a full theme...Really I just want to get rid of the darn Touchwiz icons in the dock, but one of the only things TW4.5 doesn't let you do is choose custom Icons. Anybody offer some help?
i have to agree ... i've been scouring net for touchwiz 4.5 flash a grip

Well, when I last checked under themes there were none...now there's 6 but none of them are called minimal or purify...strange...I updated them from the menu button under themes, and updated both the launcher and manager but still not there

I'm not sure about the launcher.apk he linked, but for me all I did was install the manager.apk file and then find it in your app drawer "TW4 Manager", open then look under "check for updates & uninstall" then click latest stable version to get the newest one they have for release. Then you have to get to the launcher through the traditional channels (press home soft key, then if you're using a 3rd party launcher it will tell you to clear defaults (found in applications -> manage applications in main settings menu), or if using stock TW I believe it will just open up the typical window when there are multiple programs to complete the command, then click on the one you want)

Yeah, it's not perfect...but ultimately I'm surprised it's as good as it is considering the other options (LP, Go, ADW, etc.) that are probably a team of people doing full-time dev. I switched back to Golauncher EX because it's what I'm comfortable and it just used the screen better...smaller dock icons and better customization. I would love to keep some of the TW features though, and if there comes some nice themes for TW4.5 I'll be back.

Are you using Starburst Rom? If so, you may need to define which app is supposed to be opened with that button. If you are on starburst, go to menu, settings, lockscreen settings (at very bottom), overall ui settings, then click "long press search button app" and choose what you want to happen. Hope that's all that's wrong...I never had any unusual fc's on tw4.5 while I was using it.

Sorry about not responding sooner...been focused on the development threads and completely forgot about my own
I'm using LoStKernel Experimental and it has worked pretty well. I've been without a Loss of service since it's been installed (KNOCK ON WOOD). It's pretty quick and from what I can tell it does allow for overclocking. I'm not sure on this...but my SetCPU app says my phone has been at 1.4 GHz for a good amount of time and it must allow under clocking because it says I've been at 500 GHz for most of the time (that's my "screen off" setting).
Ultimately the under/over clocking would appeal to you for both speed & battery life. Stability might suffer a bit from this kind of thing BUT I haven't experienced any stability issues with the LoStKernel exp....that's not to say you won't because each piece of hardware is different and each persons app load and usage is completely different.
I have used the stock kernel, Zedo's 1.6 OC'd kernel, and most recently the LoStKernel, just for info.
Hope this helps!
PS - I switched to GoLauncher because I couldn't get themes to work either...so, yeah, I would suppose this thread is dead for the time being - but feel free to ask any other questions you might have for me & I'll try to get to 'em sooner. Subscribed now, so I'll notice.

What would I need to try something like this. Someone had the short press is down, long press is select idea, which i thought was brilliant. I'm downloading umbuntu right now as it seems that is the preferred platform for this kinda ****. What I'm wondering is clockwork any different across different phones? Or is it the same code for every phone? I remeber on my epic someone edited CWM so the font was purple and you didn't have to scroll all the way down to select 'ok'. It seems to me like editing CWM so that short press on the power button moves down the menu, and long press selects, wouldn't be too terribly difficult and it seems like a semi-fun learning experience, and it would be nice to have a usable recovery. Anyone wanna point me in the right direction? I'm looking at you Calvin.
Never heard of umbuntu.
Also read more carefully, there is no one on the forums named Calvin doing any dev work.
Google "porting cwr to other devices". Its faily involved to get set up.

You're probably best off working on Clavin's CWM, since we know his works for flashing the KF.
Be careful though - TWRP bricked the KF when they did a backup and restore.

I thought it was genius in its simplicity, because usually the most simple solution is the best. So it seems that editing cwm may be a bit above me at the moment, lets say I wanted to do something like editing a ROM, something simple like deleting a few apks from Calvin's cm7 and maybe changing a few XML files to affect the appetance. I'm running the latest unbuntu on my laptop, obviously the android and Java sdks, but what would I use to open the ROM files up and edit them? I've heard of the kitchen, but it says it doesn't support the kindle.

Looks like lines 56-102 handle key events. Looks like it would be easy to make presses on the power button return HIGHLITE_DOWN, the hard part is making long presses return SELECT_ITEM. Is there a key event called KEY_POWER_LONGPRESS or something? Anyone know where the key events are defined? If there is no predefined long press key event then code will be needed that defines one.

Alternatively, wouldn't it be possible to have an auto press HIGHLITE_DOWN every 2+ seconds (without any user input) and have the power button remain KEY_POWER_LONGPRESS as is.
What about the touchscreen? I know people are trying to get the team win recovery, but CWM will respond to the soft keys, usually by going back. Could we spoof cwm into thinking we had soft keys?
On on my Nexus menu moves down, back is back, and search is select. Would it be possible to have any screen input serve as select?
Yes, from what I can gather that is possible. The real devs are working on it. From what I can tell, me and everyone else in this particular thread are beginners who don't really know much, lol. A working recovery will most likely come from TWRP, jackpotclavin, DooMlord, or one of the other legit devs.

I think it is really not cool to imply that the people working on this are not legit devs.
I do not now them, but they are attempting something to make people lives easier and not charging anything for it. It does not mater their experience, they are being developers to this community.

I am not a developer, but since CWM already worked on this device I believe this solution will come sooner than others, good luck.

Exactly. Thank you tex321. That's why I cant stand it when people think the only 'real devs' are ones with the 'Recognized Developer' tag under their names. Some of us other devs have lives outside of xda so we have limited time to contribute.
Oh and I *may* work on getting amon_ra.
Edit: I may try 4EXT instead. the amon_ra fork i looked at only has touch scrolling. but then again our power button would suffice for a 'select'

is there any way to hide the soft keys when playing games?
it will be awesome if the devs do something for this
Bump! I wanna know too!
It can only be done right now from the app if its coded in to support the ICS soft keys option. The stock video player aswell as some developer video players support the option but its upto the app/game developer whether they add it or not.
Its also being worked on as an option in AOKP and apparently should be available soon in AOKP Roms.
If you want a temp solution then see *THIS* thread but its not something you can switch between on the fly you would have to enter CWM to flash between the stock/modified apk to enable or disable the soft keys.
Mark.
Thanks alot for the answer. I also found other threads about the same topic. I understand that this needs to be coded for the app as you said. I hope theese n64 emulator devs would add this in the future
---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------
Also, I wouldn't mind the softkey to disappear in the emulator making the screen "stretch" itself either. This would also work for me

Its been implemeted into the Power Menu so that you can switch the soft keys on or off at will but the dev still wants to clean it up a bit so we may see it in AOKP Roms in a week or so but it will definitely be here soon

Having owned a Messagepad for years I've been yearning for something, anything which came close to that 20 year old functionality on Android. I just flashed v2 of Myscript Notes (a handwriting /notetaking app with handwriting recognition) on jellybomb and lo and behold, works great. It uses the same handwriting recognition engine as S-note only I find it actually works They also have a calculator (myscript) in Play which I've been using for a while, not quite mathematica but works fine for what it is.
no need for - 'old news perhaps but not for me' in title just add those lines , if you are not sure (even am not sure whether this is old) , to your post - don't ruin the title
why fix it if it ain't broken ?
