Theme Touchwiz?

Quick question guys...i know a lot of you hate Touchwiz and usually just swap it for ADW, Zeam, LPP or the likes but from watching different videos i dont think its that bad.... apart from it looking slightly iphonish and a bit too colorful...do you guys know of any theme that makes it a bit more focused in terms of colors? For instance i would like to see the 4 buttons at the bottom in one color rather than four different colors...that would make it a bit more professional in my opinion...does this exist?

biggest problem in my estimation is no landscape mode, and no alphabetical sort.. hopefully someone will fix this.

check "TouchWiz AppSorter" from the market

I don't have this phone although I am planning on getting it. Can you explain more about what is and isn't supported in landscape mode? It looked from some of the videos that there is an "auto rotate" option? Can the phone dialer etc be rotated?
Thanks in advanced,
James

Yes, autorotate exists but dialer and launcher don't work in landscape... they will stay in portrait as most of TW apps

Are there any mods for TouchWiz?
I would also like to alter the grid for alternate DPI. I found a launcher.xml config file in the TWLauncher saved prefs folder, but I don't have a list of valid settings.

Newest version of touchwiz sorter now works thanks. Now we need a version that auto rotates and has clear backgrounds

The reason i would stick with stock is after watching countless videos with different launchers i dont see any that runs as smoot as touchwiz and i like the widget resizing...its a bit more intuitive than that of AFW, LPP etc...correctme if i'm wrong

also the way the music widget works when locked is nice..
although the display on the older froyo sgs was even nicer.

I have a question. Is music widget on lockscreen working with other players? I mean for example AMP Player? I really would like to use AMP Player, but I need to change music fast from lockscreen. Or is there any way how to do that?

[Q] Resizeable Twitter Widget

ICS is supposed to support resizeable widgets on the stock launcher but the stock Twitter can't be resized. Has anyone come across on that can be resized?

It's a feature. Widgets cannot resize automatically, they have to support resizing.

I wasn't expecting it to resize automatically but I cannot resize it manually - I would like a widget that takes up a full homescreen but without installing a different launcher.

Have you tried plume? I don't have the GN yet but the widgets are resizable on honeycomb.

the widget has to support it. Twitter still hasn't been coded for ICS properly.

Thanks - that seems to work.

Blinkfeed widget?

Is there a way someone could make a blinkfeed widget so we can still have it on like nova or apex launcher?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you need the Sense launcher to run Sense widgets due to them needing HTC's framework.

Maybe the flipboard widget is an alternative?

Blink Feed is basically an amalgam of Flipboard and Pulse. Though I find Pulse's layout easier to digest, their widgets leave a lot to be desired. Amy suggestions on alternatives for third party launchers?

Nova Launcher

I am a bit stuck on this too. I really prefer the Apex Launcher but I am liking blinkfeed as well... I am hoping someone can find a way to make them play nice together...
MG

I don't understand why this can't be done.
all we need is a shortcut to the feed. in theory, even with nova Orr similar running, blink feed is still doing its thing in the background, we just can't get to it.
I'm sure some one like nova could do:
say you have 3 home screens set, instead of infinite scroll,
you could have the left most side of home screen one set as a shortcut.
I then you could set the short cut to blink feed (or anything else you might want to use)
it would be pretty much the same as we have but with a custom launcher.
does that make sense?

this is already possible with thde MoDaCo tool kit. check out 3:16 on this video

I use adw and make a custom shortcut for the HTC launcher. I delete all screens with only blink.

Best solution out there. I too love Blinkfeed, but prefer other launchers over the Sense launcher, mainly for things like custom grid sizes and being able to feed my addiction on mycolorscreen.com.
Incidentally, I use Nova and a custom shortcut - same thing.

[Q] Stock app icons replaced with bugdroid.

Just updated to 4.4.2, wiped, and then installed google now launcher but I'm having a weird issue. A couple of LG apps like email and weather have had their icons replaced with a bugdroid icon. Mind you, this is only when I'm using Google now launcher. When I'm using the stock one, the icons are normal. Anyone know what's up with that?

Me too - I'm on the stock rooted UK 4.4 ROM. I installed Nova Launcher & the aforementioned icons are generic. The same happens with Apex Launcher. I tried deleting the icon cache in Nova Launcher under Lab Settings but nothing happened. If I try to edit the shortcuts on the desktop the relevant app icons are blank.
The icons look fine when using the stock launcher.

On holo launcher it lets me edit the icons of items in the dock and on the home page.
Rather than choosing a different image for an item, I can also choose "default icon".
This fixes the icons, but only on the home page and in the dock, not in the app drawer.

Not with Nova Launcher

Anyone have a theory as to why this is happening on third-party launchers?

I've emailed the Nova Launcher dev & will see if he replies

The dev wasn't able to help. Is there a way to extract the stock app icons from the ROM as image files and then we could edit the shortcuts?

In Holo launcher I can simply select the icons on the home page and change the images.
When changing I get the option of using a custom image, or use default.
When I select default, the icon works again.
However this fix only works on the home screen, not in the app drawer.

I know this thread is a little old but I just upgraded to KK and was wondering if anyone figured out how to fix this?

Weather Widget

Hello,
I have downloaded and flashed the newest Malaysk ROM. I want to know if I can change the stock weather app, which you can see in the stock widget, because it is not working properly. Do you have a modified weather app or another one which I can put in the stock widget. I don't want to use an app with an alternative widget.
Sorry for my bad english.

No it is no possible. This 'weather widget' is not widget at all but built-in to JY launcher.
Also the weather uses Yahoo servers and reportedly there is some issue with servers, so we hope it will be resolved in due time.

Description is bit unclear for me, but it looks like you can get something with it....
You may try and post results here.

Ooh, I literally just installed my new head unit and was wondering about this. As long as the servers get sorted soon so that the weather widget actually works then that will be great!

Looks like it is new launcher, with weather/radio/etc. auto-changing widget that can be moved around as normal widget, removed completely if you wish and replaced / complemented with any other weather or other widget...

If I understood good this Russian forum, it is implemented as standard widget in this launcher. So if you install it, possibly try to install it as normal application not to replace system launcher, then it may have that widget available to any other launcher you choose.

It works, but has 1024 resolution. As said above you can select your own widgets to be placed
where you like them to be. I hope there will be a 800 version soon.

Does it have a way of hidding status bar?
And, obviously I have to go back home after picking audio source correct? How does it handle previous audio source, does it turn it off before the new one is enabled? Looks interesting, and the media buttons only affect the selected source?
And what about Pandora, Spotify and other 3rd party players, can they be added to this? Both have widgets...

Most likely because this is a 1024 while your screen is 800 resolution.

Unfortunately you cant choose the widget in another launcher.
Is it possible to make a new apk which looks like the one attached and has the widget from the russian forum?
Also it would be good if you have on one side the weather widget and on the other side the widget which changes between weather, radio, etc.

Also, I tested it and it wouldnt change radio stations. I could only press the station number and radio would open, but that's what the radio icon is for... LOL
Sticking with Next Launcher, never seen a nicer launcher since Apex Launcher.
