As the title says. I performed the manual update to FF18 ICS update. Everything is working great, but I noticed there are some features missing. For exmaple,
- I still have the old GingerBread Action bar at the bottom.
- I cannot create a new folder by dragging another app on another (like iOS)
- I do not have the black system bar at the bottom
- When I click and hold an app.. there is no "circular background" behind it.
That being said, the facial recognition, picture panorama, data usage, all that is there.
Can anyone help?
you would have to change your launcher from Samsung Id....

As Mrcharmz says you need to change launcher with Sprint ID to Stock and do factory reset to refresh SystemUI layout because when upgrading from GB to ICS some areas of UI remains GB style.

Thank you both very much for the response. I am a n00b, and am not familiar on how to do this. I am sure it is in the forums though, so I will look. Thanks again!

Does anyone know if we can change icons in touchwiz without root access? I like the ability to change our fonts and feel icons should be an option as well but do not see an option.

The most that can be done in your case without root is to download a launcher from the market ADW, launcher pro etc.

Thanks for the quick reply.. I'll probably wait now that samsung has released the source code for our kernal.. I'm guessing we'll have ported roms in no time!

We'll have some roms, but the question is how soon. I would assume we'd have to wait 2 more weeks for a rom and probably a few more days for root access. Btw your welcome.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
you can change fonts by going under settings display..and clicking the first option there should be something under there to change fonts...and if you want different icons on your home screens download desktop visualizer and an icon pack and put those there instead.
I read the forum rules and online gambling isn't mentioned. Any good guesses on when we will be getting 4.0? I am betting $5.00 on 3/30/12.
I'll take the end of February for $0.00... They have to add all the unneeded bloatware.
Way too optimistic dates above me ^

Okay, then you just throw on the Trebuchet launcher from CM9, or even the vanilla ICS launcher, and your problems are solved.
Dang, you wouldn't even have to have Root for that. Just like when I bought this phone: Touchwiz 4.0 didn't even make it out of the Best Buy parking lot before I had ADWEX running. (and Touchwiz 4 actually had a slim chance of survival, because it's the best version they've made so far, to be sure.....)
However, ADW won out merely because of the sheer speed factor.
(And yes, I know that Touchwiz is still there, lurking underneath, but it's really almost transparent compared to HTC's Sense or Motorola's Blur thing....)

EDIT: Oh, yeah, the pool for "official" release: February 21st.
I think you should make the launcher look more in favor of the new flavor. The people app is royally renovated and I am looking the look. Any idea if you can make the theme of the whole phone look like that?
1. Making the status bar transparent
2. Vertical scrolling of the apps menu. Scroll horizontally to go to widgets menu.
3. Changing the whole background to white (pearl white) with black roboto font, or at least an option to do so.
4.to make apps on the dock bar run continuously so that there a no lag when trying to open them.(everyone I try to open the people app, it takes sometime to load and it's irritating)
5 instead of grey background on every pop up menu, a blue white themed menu options would be great. I am new to xda, so if this is in a wrong forum, please feel free to post the same in the right forum.
I greatly appreciate the work your are doing. Good luck!

that's more like it! 6-9 months for me as well. gentleman's bet of course though.
My request was not exactly a theme. the status bar becoming transparent can be viewed as hiding the status bar. scrolling options is definitely launcher. and keeping the dock icons in homescreen running use definitely launcher again. and yeah dude you missed something. And as long as you don't do anything productive there's no need to lol. And this is me being polite.

Anyone came up with an app for this?
I am not a fan of launchers running on top of any ROM and I read a lot about issues with apps and playstore after using LCD Density.
I currently switched from iPhone to Galaxy S3 and while the phone is great, icons are just not adequate to the screen.
There is an app called Bigify for iOS, is there anything at least similar for Android devices?
The main 3 options I am looking for:
1. change icon size
2. change angle of the icons by xy degrees (it looks fantastic!)
3. remove icon text
Here is a SS:
This actually would be very nice as it bothers me when the apps name is cut off because it's too long.. So being able to remove the text would be great!

Apex Launcher allows you to remove the app text or modify the title/icon. You cannot rotate it though.
Op running a different launcher has no actual problems
Say your using nova as default the phone won't have stock tw launched running in the background unless you open again

It's what you asked for. They honestly helped you as much to their abilities.
That being said if you want angled apps look into making it yourself. I know that is not much of a answer you're looking but as of right now as far as I have seen there are no apps or mods to rotate apps.

Root your phone install a recovery and install paranoid android, google it, i think youll like it.
I got TFS Launcher and it runs great. I do have one question though.... Isn't there always a Launcher running over a rom? Otherwise you wouldn't be able to run any apps.

Well I dont know what has been done to the .xml's in the resources or the layout. I suppose I could compare them but that's super tedious.
I can move the XML and and resources and it would flash just fine.
If you want, use anything from here. Its all from my S2 ROM. I have Djdarkknight's status bar icons and several inverted apps although he may not have included them.
R.I.P to my Epic Touch ROM

Edit...he missed half of the features it had..Hotspot hack (3g&4g) all inverted apps, odexed and deodexed versions, great had Wallpaper pack, flashable Metamorph battery icons, ripple and AOSP lock options, etc. I just don't know this phone (or AT&T) well enough to port it yet

Believe me, if I had the time and knew my Note 2 a little better I would be on the project already. What the heck did you flash? The Sprint Note 2 version from my teammate Sleshepic? Did dialer and contacts work? OK, it had to be the Sprint version because if my Epic Touch worked then that would be impressive. I already have djdarkknight's permission to use icons and themed apps from Dark Jelly
OK I lied. I have Venum Ice and Jedi 6.1.2 sitting next to each other on my laptop. I was going to offer some cash for a pro to do it because a pro could knock that out in a day it would take me some time ...I think. Those background lines would have to be solid black and I! Would switch up the status bar icons

All that zip does is replace images. If your settings is FCing you have another issue at hand.
I can add it back the battery that is, but all the resourses I do not know what was done to them. So the layout will be messed up

Installed this from link in op but download name had color black listed. Flashed anyhow but no difference at all from stock. Running freezas md4 deodex.
