Does anyone know of or can send me a link to where i can download the vanilla launcher back onto my evo, since the ota update removed it. Thanks
And i already know about adw and launcher pro.
I seriously loathe the uber-colorful icons that TouchWiz has for things like the Camera, Gallery, Dialer, etc.
What do I need to do to change them to stock JellyBean icons? Root? Theme? Alternative launcher?
Thanx in advance.
It's super easy to change icons using Nova, & you don't need root. I don't have experience with other launchers, or methods.
ROM - Odexed Blue JB "Holy Grail" LJ7
Baseband - LJ7
Kernel - KT747 TW JB LJ7
Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 using XDA-Premium
Idk if it's the same on the s3 but it is easier if rooted I believe. Drag your rom that your theming onto your computer, find system ui. Apk and extract just that, then open it with 7zip or something like that and then it's in one of the folders inside of the res folder. I think that's where the icons are stored. As long as you don't change the names, you'll be fine. Just replace them and restart your phone. Or re flash using the modified rom
Download a launcher of your choice. My first choice for pimping the UI is sslauncher. Then find an icon pack you want to use. For simple icons that you can choose the colour of I recommend MetroStation.
Icons are normally change in most launchers by first placing them on you home screen and then long pressing them and choosing edit.
Good luck
Check out "mycolorscreen" for inspiration.
Thanx to all 3 of you.
Do any of the methods above help with the notification icons also? I find it really odd that the text messaging notification icon is an envelope... you know, like email.
good rom but needs Kitkat make over and need to sort out theme installer- and / or do version with more standard launchers plus weather widget and page bookmark. it could be epic
camera is best ever.what is it and available as seperate download? x
where is clock on status bar and theme chooser?
and keyboard is too small, need update asap
Why does the apps and everything keep flashing like having a bug or something?
Does it happen to somebody else?
Accuweather Widget and Main Themed
Well friends, after a really hard work, I present to you the S2 Accuweather Widget and main app themed.
i'm porting the AccuweatherWidget + Main from galaxy s3 thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/mods-xxugmk6-accuweatherwidget-t2073561The widget is based on S4 MOD
so It should work on any JB odex/deodex rom even on cm10+ with tuchwiz.
Also if you are on a stock odex rom it may work if you delete the .odex files
I have tested on deodexed LSW rom and it works like a charm
To Install it just flash the zip via CWM. This will replace your stock widget and main apk so make a backup of both apk just in case
something goes wrong.
If you have any problems then delete the widget and the main apk data and then reboot.

Cyanogenmod 11 nightlies
Hi smoky-jr,
i love your work. Do these work on cynagenmod 11 (i am using the nightlies from 26/07/14)
I have downloaded S2S3-AccuweatherWidget-Main-FullColorful.zip & S2S3-AccuWeatherWidget-FullColorful-Mod05.zip, went into cwm (version 6.0.5.0) and installed without issue but upon reboot neither of them is showing up as widgets?
The only weather widget displayed in the widgets is the clock (cynagenmood stock one) but if i go to settings/apps/all, i have two weather items there:
weather widget (com.sec.android.widgetapp.ap.h....) version 121105.01
weather widget main (com.sec.android.widgetapp.ap.h....) version 121105.01
Are these correct?
On each of them i can 'uninstall updates' and then it asks do i want to replace them with the factory one which i have selected yes to but nothing changes.
Any idea why they are not showing up in my widgets?
Do i need the accuweather app from google play installed first?
sorry for so many questions but this is by far the best looking weather widgets i have seen and would like to get them on my phone. Any help appreciated.

In order for this to work, you should have TouchWiz launcher for cm10-11
You can get it from the following link:
Galaxy S4 Launcher For HDPI
It should work for you.
Hi Smoky-jr,
Thank you so much for the reply and the link. I was hoping to stick with the default trebuchet launcher but i really do want your weather widget so i will switch to the Touchwiz one. I have tried most of the weather widgets on Google play and none of the look half as good as yours - its by far the best looking one i have seen! great work!
Thanks
Secc
Hi Smoky-jr,
I tried the launcher but it didn't show up in CM11 anywhere - not in any of the settings (i went through them all), not in apps, nowhere. I installed though CWM as they are all zips.
Maybe that version isn't compatible with CM11 (i am on the nightly version from 26/07/14). I also installed your mods but same as before, there are two weather items listed + weather daemon displayed in apps but all i can do with them is force stop/disable etc.
Sadly I guess i will have to do without these on CM11.
Thanks for your help.

i'm sorry,
first you neet to uninstall the touchwiz launcher then reboot.
you can do this with root explorer or another file manager with root permissions
second try to flash the following touchwiz launcher:
S4_launcher-eHDPI
this zip file contains the launcher and accuweather widgets
afthe flashing the zip file and you checked that the launcher are working only then you can flash my custom accuweather widgets.
Hopefully it will work for you.
Hi Smoky-jr,
I installed the launcher you suggested and Touchwiz was there which i selected and restarted. It seemed to work fine. I installed your widgets and again they didn't show up in the widgets - even though i was using the touchwiz launcher.
I don't think it likes CM11 nightlies (kitkat).....I must admit though i really didn't like the touchwiz interface, i much prefer the default trebuchet launcher in CM11. Even though it has far fewer options, i do prefer the look of it.
I want to thank you for taking the time to help, its very much appreciated. I think i will have to stick with the Sense v2 weather widget i have been using for now.
Thanks for everything

Wow great work, I'm gonna use this!
Hello Smoky-jr,
I installed the S2S3-AccuWeatherWidget (all MOD types) on my Galaxy S3 (SHV E210L). I could not see it correctly (check the screen shot attached)
Please help.
Hey,
Can anyone upload for me the apk for touchwiz from the official ROM?
or if there is updated worked other version.
Because i downloaded one from apkmirror wich its scale does not fit the screen and crashing. And i forgot to backup the old one
Thanks in advance
