Hi!
This is a tutorial for installing TouchWiz Launcher ported from SGS3.
First,this is easy to do and do not require special knowledge of Android OS.
Second,you will need an ICS ROM to do this! Do not try this on any other android ROM!
So,if we understand each other,let's begin...
Step 1.
Download and install any Density Changer (for example, LCD Density Modder will do)
Step 2.
Download TouchWiz port from here (it's the thread of author of the port,so I'm just helping you around with installing it on Gio) and put it on root of your SD card.
Step 3.
Open Density Changer (in our case - LCD Density Modder),and change the dpi value from standart 160 to 145.We will need this for our ported TouchWiz to look properly.Of course,you can experiment with this value,but I found that 145-150 is fine.
After setting up the value,tap Save and reboot.
Screen will look odd after booting up,don't worry,next step.
Step 4.
Reboot to recovery (CM9 by GalaxyICS Team includes this option),and flash the zip you downloaded from Step 2.
Phone will auto-reboot.
On start you will be asked what launcher to use, {Your_Launcher} or TouchWiz.I believe you'll make the right choice
If everything is cool,the homescreen of TouchWiz will appear.It is very smooth and good-looking for me
Known bug by me: you may need to reinstall some apps,cuz their icons do not appear in menu after TouchWiz install.Reinstalling an app fixes this.
Have a nice day!
Mate, I already did this in themes and apps....

oh sorry,haven't noticed that.Had to do all by myself except what you posted in R thread
Any way to delete thread then?
edit : wait, 125 is incorrect value, all is messed up with 125 dpi. 145 is ok,correct it in your tutorial then)

Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Oh... ok! thanks! ... but will you add the sorting by name automatically?
-You need a xml editor for this. Something like Notepad++
-This mod is untested because I dont have the device at the moment.
-Make a backup of your current framework-res.apk and Systemui.apk files
-After 2 weeks I believe I found all of what I need for this MOD after going through the framework and Systemui of my Galaxy Nexus
-This did work on my Galaxy Note
-Please try at your own risk
How To
1. Decompile the framework-res
2. In the values folder you will find bools.xml
3. Open up the file and search for "config_showNavigationBar"
4. This should be false, change it to True
5. Open up the dimens.xml and search for "navigation_bar_height"
6. Change the value there to either one of these because im not sure how it would look (25, 30, 35)
7. Recompile your framework-res.apk
8. Extract or Decompile the systemui.apk
9. Navigate to the drawable-hdpi folder
10. Download these NavBar_Icons images and place them in that folder
11. Zip or Recompile the systemui.apk
(OPTIONAL)
After completing the above
Disable the light on the capacitive touch keys(Home-Back-Menu-Search)
1. Decompile the framework-res.apk
2. In the values folder you will find arrays.xml
3. Open that xml and search for "config_autobrightnessbacklightvalues"
4. Change all values to 0
5. Recompile the framework-res.apk
Thanks!

Nah no Hijack...It should cut the screen because the buttons are always on screen on the GNex so Its cuts the screen here as well.

People have always wanted them. We were just pushed aside by those who think only their opinions matter. Its part of ics and actually a cool feature. Now those manufacturers making them hardware keys in their néw devices is just stupid. I can understand not wanting them on existing devices but new ones come on. What about the consumer

cuz you should enter a right value, not too high or too low
Same problem here
I've got the same problem.
After restarting the screen keeps blank. You have to make a Full-Wipe.
I think it's a bug of CM10. Maybe in one of the next versions it will be fixed.

could be on ICS to let the touchwiz port work without losing the call feature
but it looks like a full wipe is needed as its not booting, the problem isn't the phone apk I think but just jellybean framework not able to handle density change on our gio's (yet)

Hello. I want to share with you Touchwiz UX launcher that i modified to work with CM10 on galaxy ace
Launcher and all required libs are in CWM flashable zip attached. I have also included all necessary libs that are required for SGS3 weather widget to work.
You can get weather widget in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846100
How to install:
- Reboot to recovery
- Flash attached zip file
- Reboot
Be aware that this can damage your device, so dont hold me responsible if you brick your Galaxy Ace.
I havent fully tested modded app so if there are any bugs (wich i think there are) please let me know.
Thanks a lot!
