[Q]Moddifying Touchwiz Launcher - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Can someone point me to how to edit the stock ICS touchwiz launcher so I can change the homescreen layout (more icons)? Haven't really been able to find anything specific to the S3.
The only one I have found that does this is Drew's JB ROM and it doesn't like my phone so I have to stick with ICS until official JB comes out.
I'm running Fedora 17 if that makes any difference but I also have access to Win 7 and Linux Mint if needed.
Cheers!

Not sure if this is what your looking for...but may have some info

Thanks. Just tried that launcher out and it was terribly slow. I'll probably just dig around in the launcher and see what I can find. Shouldn't be too hard I'm assuming.

Have you seen the Sony Ericsson Launcher? Its on the link below, but for some reason it does seem to fully work on our device. I would really love to see this fully functional on our device. How would one go about asking the Devs to work on this?

I like that sony launcher! Thanks!
I think its funny how ppl wt samsung phones want sont launchers and vice versa.
When I fist got the sgsII I was like man Touch wiz is awesome,I dont know what everyone is *****ing about,but now Im like Tw huh lol
But the T-989 no regrets here it will be a while "I think" before I'll be looking for a newer device. The note is nice but im 5'9" and 150 lbs it looks like I have a 10" tablet on my hip
Do any of those launchers support ICS style folders? I'm running ADW launcher mostly for that reason. I don't really use the fancy transitions and all of that.

I'll be honest I love the SGSII but I don't like tw, or gingerbread. Can't wait to get vanilla ICS. I was tempted to leave to the Nexus but I love design of the device way too much to leave.

Its really cool, love the widget animation. It does force close on me at all but the bubbles don't work, and I think the menu structure is not working either.

Galaxxy S3 Launcher Ported to work on ICS Roms

It was just posted on the 12th? And I've only seen a post about the dialer but not the tw launcher. Thanks.
Yes, we've had this for awhile... probably like 2 weeks. The difference between the one we have and this one linked is that this new one can work on any ROM. The other one only worked on our device because we have the same TW framework, I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Hasn't there been a port of the launcher since May? And it's said to work with all ICS roms also.

Because like the rest of Android, it is still very customizable. Before. AOKP, MIUI was the go to ROM for awesome customization and many options. The only thing iOS like is the default launcher which can still be changed. It looks a little prettier but is still very clearly Android.
If you give it a try instead of just watching videos, you might see the advantages and understand. I do dislike the default launcher though.

Miui = iPhone is one of the dumbest things I see on xda. Besides similar looking base icons and the lack of a app drawer that is the only similar items.
The themes for MiUi are awesome and I.hate app drawers so I think it's awesome.

I did not say MIUI = iPhone. I said MIUI is iphonish. Its even in your quote of my quote. So do not twist my words around dude. I tried MIUI on both the samsung captivate and the inspire 4G and it is too IPHONE-ISH for me. Different strokes for different folks.
I'm not a fan of miui. Tried it for a week on my captivate. The customization is good, but its not what I was looking for. AOKP is my all time fav. Simplistic and elegant with functional features.

all you do is use another launcher like Apex or Go Launcher and all that iphoneish feel is GONE... But like you said different strokes.. my 2cents cheers!!

FC - Launcher Pro?

Can someone help me with this dilemma. I cannot figure out for the life of me why the heck Launcher Pro- plus will not work on my gNex running Jellybean. It doesn't matter what ROM I am using, it stays on my screen, then it stops and message comes up: "unfortunately, launcher pro has stopped unexpectedly"
I have tried everything : uninstall, re- apply, clear cache, the list goes on......
Emailed developer(no frkn response) IT WILL NOT WORK!
Anyone have a good insight on this?

Probably because the developer abandoned it ages ago and as such hasn't updated it.

Yup. Dev promised a rewrite that never came. The same goes for his music player.
Find a different launcher.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
This launcher was originally based on android 2.1, the rewrite that was promised was supposedly going to be based on android 2.2... gee i hope that never comes out. It was great in the gingerbread days but its time has passed.
It's time to let that launcher go IMO.
It's a relic of GB and before.
Stock launcher is actually quite nice and Nova is as well.
Try apex launcher. The newest beta is rewritten using jelly bean code
I loved Launcher Pro back in the 2.3 and earlier days. Still works great on my watch and is the preferred launcher, but for my Nexus I have switched to TSF Shell.
Nah,i still prefer it above any newer launchers.its for people that need it simple and fast.like me

Cm.10

Why do all cm10 based roms have so many problems and why do they all look the same ?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
What are all the problems? There are quiet a few new ones but many very stable. Someone correct me if I am wrong'but I believe most all use cm as a base ROM. Each has there own features and functions.
I have zero issues with dastins cm, kts AOKP, snipers PAC or PAC in black, gave carbon, slim, and pretty much every other ROM a test drive no issues. Personally I keep going back to PAC love all the features .
It's not hard to flash them, see what fits your desires hardest part, well longest is downloading them and playing with settings. I find myself only staying on one for a few days at a time. Nothing wrong with the ROMs but rather enjoying playing with them and seeing what new goodies they bring to the table.
EDIT: that's kind of like saying all tw ROMs look the same they all have tons of hours of work put into them themed and tweaked to the designers liking but cuz its all tw they all look the same. Just my two cents...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I downloaded a couple of cm based roms and had problems with them and they all kind of look the same tw has some roms that look totally different I was not trying to bash anything I know it takes a long time to make one.

They all look similar because they are AOSP, the same OS you would see on a Nexus product, and not a skinned manufacturer based ROM like Touchwiz, Sense, Blur...
