First of all:
DO NOT EVEN DARE COMPLAIN ABOUT ANYTHING NOT WORKING OR IT FORCE CLOSING IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS POST
Second (ye olde cyanogen's mega awesome disclaimer):
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or the current economic crisis. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this system app before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modificiations, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
Ok, now that's over and done with
Description:
This is the GS3 touchwiz launcher, rescaled to work with the Nexus' stock density/resolution, and with an extra homescreen row added to take advantage of the 720p display. It's pretty smooth, Samsung have done a pretty good job
I'm going to be away for a while, moving to Europe to hopefully find a job in my field (if you guys know anyone looking for game artists, please foward them on to my portfolio ) So I probably won't be able to continue work on this until I get settled somewhere. I know Madphone will continue working on it for his TW addon pack, if people are interested in getting the widgets working etc.
Thanks everyone for your support and everything, has been much appreciated
Installation Instructions:
Flash TW5launcher.zip in recovery. Tested in CWM, experiences may vary in other recoveries.
Download Link:
http://multiupload.biz/0rjhd04oyh7i/TW5launcher_MultiUpload.biz.zip.html
Known Bugs:
- Wallpaper picker options don't work properly. This is because most of the options rely on the more system side components of touchwiz - for now, just use the "set wallpaper for homescreen option"
-Bottom Icon Row is cut off in landscape mode
-Wallpaper doesn't scroll (looking into it - It's meant to not scroll by stock, but I don't think it would be a bad feature to have, depending on performance impact.) Decided to keep it unscrolling for performance reasons.

Do i need to flash it? Or can i just push in to system/app ??

This!
But he does have a good point, you can push to system/app, but you will probably still have to install the app over the top of it to get it to work. I just listed the most foolproof way I could think of in order to decrease the likelyhood of people complaining about having problems by not doing it properly (ie. pushing to system/app, but not setting the correct permissions).
I'll update the OP in a second.

It worked fine by pushing it + setting the permissions. Thanks...

Since I have a stock recovery I tried the "copy to system/app, mess with permissions and clear stock launcher defaults" method and it works as well as can be expected since we are missing some of the SGS3 framework.
The Lightflow bug that makes Google books read aloud makes changing desktops talk to you which is kind of funny.
Love ya work as this seems to be good enough to use everyday. Touchwiz was never that bad but it's nice to have the choice on a Nexus device.
Edit: Just noticed in landscape it chops the bottom line of icons off. Not a complaint but if it's an easy fix?...please?

You will more than likely find that the widgets in the app drawer don't work, and a few other minor things from memory.

First i installed the zip with recovery --->. Don't work.
I installed the APK and set right permissions ---> Don't work.
I push the apk to System/app and set right permissions ---> Don't woork.

Nice work
Since I am non-rooted on the Nexus, I just installed the .apk file (as in NOT fully following the instructions, I am aware of that).
Trying to add widgets but got the permission thingy, rest works nice and looks awsome, nice work mate!

Thx for this. An excellent performing launcher as smooth as I've seen ever on the GN. I can't get it to work though through a reboot. Using the instructions verbatim or not. Still super cool to play with!

How do you get it to stfu? I don't need voice clarification when opening folders and stuff

[GUIDE] Dual-Pane/Tablet Layout On Just About Any ROM/App

(Above is basically a clean CM10 rom with dual pane in Settings)
Recently discovered after finding and using azoller's CM10.1 Fusion ROM for a day or two.
This method involves using Xposed Framework and basically requires installing 2 apks, then changing some settings for it to take effect.
NOTE: None of this will affect your notifications bar or navbar, it just changes resolutions/layouts, except you can make specific apps fullscreen if you want.
1. Install this apk (from the main thread), click Install/Update, and reboot.
2. Install this apk (a module/add on for dpi/resolution change) and reboot a second time.
3. Go into Xposed App Settings which is the 2nd app installed, and any app that has Screen (dp,px) set to 800x1200 will act as if it were a tablet app. This includes Settings, YouTube, anything that looks different with a tablet.
If any graphics are too big/small, you can change the DPI, but 160-190 is pretty good most of the time. It's pretty simple and mostly cool, and should work on just about any rom.
The attached screenshots show my settings for the Android Settings to have a dual pane and some examples of YouTube looking more expanded than usual.
Again, none of this is my doing, I just figured it out recently and thought a simple step by step would be nice for people who haven't tried it yet and/or aren't running stuff like AOKP and ParanoidAndroid (built in tablet UI roms).

thanks for your tutorial, it works.but we can't get a full working Tablet UI here. the status bar and notification are still on top even though I set the "Launcher" screen to 1280x800. also we need to set the app one by one in order to enable the tablet layout, there is no way to adjust the whole apps by a single setting.

Sorry, maybe I should've had a step 0 where it says to read the thread.
NOTE: None of this will affect your notifications bar or navbar, it just changes resolutions/layouts, except you can make specific apps fullscreen if you want.
It says that right above the instructions, none of my screenshots show a tablet UI, and I specifically talked about resolution and layout instead of the notification/navbar UI.

Hmmmm. Is the tablet UI just like it is on PA?

The screenshots show what it does, and it doesn't change the notifications/navbar. Just like I told the other guy, it's pointed out in the NOTE above the instructions, and my OP isn't even that long to begin with...
This is for people like me who like dual-pane mode and tablet-ized apps, but who also don't like the whole tablet UI on the bottom. It's basically a tablet layout with phablet notifications/navbar, like how ParanoidAndroid can do by itself in Phablet mode, but it works across most roms and that's the benefit really.

You're right. Really sorry, I missed to read that part.
BTW, when I used PA and I choose phone mode, I was able to make the layout of opera mini the same as it appears on my phone (the navigation buttons located in the bottom). Here, I tried to change the setting of opera mini, but the app layout didn't change at all. Is it possible to simulate the phone mode (layout) for opera mini using those software? I need this because it's more convenient to have the buttons on the bottom when we're in portrait mode.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

First thanks to the op for pointing me in the right direction. With this app, i was finally able to get opera mini phone layout (navigation bar on the button) on nexus 7 running CM10.1
Under settings for opera mini, i just increased the dpi to 600 and resolution to 800x1280 and voila ?

Might be a stupid question but will this affect OTA's/manual install of updates??
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

So, uh, will this work with stock ROM? (not indexed/deodexed, etc.)

Thanks for sharing the specific resolution settings. It would be nice to keep DPI for large text, and just have dual pane fit like a tablet app

You can change the text size with xposed app settings. Its next to dpi

The xposed framework has been a lifesaver especially since paranoid android has been a buggy mess since it went vanilla aosp instead of cm based. AOKP plus xposed app settings is rock solid and stable.

Full Screen Mode

I know LMT launcher is available for this but i just saw this video i looks good any tired it or care to try it. I wont have my phone till next week. Link to the video and the app store where you can get the app. Video is in a different language but no need to understand.

EDIT: if you want to use LMT launcher you have to have root and root explorer to remove the soft keys. First Install LMT launcher, you can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150.
*Here is the link to download the full screen toggle app so you dont have to modify the build prop

Then with root explorer Add "qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1" (without the quotes) at the end of the build.prop in /system and reboot (credit to anirudh412 for this).

I would not recommend this app. I tried it. It worked but after reboot my phone I ended up in boot loop. It mess up with the build.prop. So if you don't have recovery it will be pain to restore phone to previous state.

This app worked well for me. Just the placement of the on screen keys would sometimes get I am the way of the software keyboards lower left and lower right most keys. But overall pretty good.

Did you modify did build prop to remove the soft keys before u installed the app? You dont need to modify the build prop for this that maybe the reason you had that boot loop.

This thing almost perfect, the only thing missing is the stock recent apps, instead it uses its own recent apps that don't allow me to remove apps that are running by swiping it to the right.

well the thing is that with the original post that i put you dont need to do any build prop mods its just installing the apps, but if you want to do the LMT launcher with removing the soft keys its been posted on other threads but ill repost it. Also i dont if a moderator can move this to the app section i posted in wrong place.

Here's what I did:
1. Root the phone with my bootloader still locked.
2. I installed the LMT Launcher app and configured the PIE controls
3. When the PIE controls are all set, I installed the app "Fullscreen Toggle"
4. Fullscreen Toggle gets rid of the softkeys but keeps the status bar on top, which I think is good.
5. I also prefer using Browser vs. Chrome, so Installed Browser apk using the instructions in the other thread for that.
Now, when I browse, I have the full screen, when I exit the browser, I no longer have wasted space by the softkeys taking up space.
I have to say, I love LMT Pie control, its fast and intuitive and its even more convenient to use the phone one handed with it. This made all the difference with this phone.

This is exactly what im doing didnt have a chance to do it yesterday, one question you got stock browser to work cuz it seemed like nobody had it working. Did you follow the instructions from the link I provided.

This is what I read about App Ops:
"Some apps don't show all their required permissions until we use them. For instance with Bump app the authorizations for "vibrate mode" and "Send notification" only appear when we open the app and try to send something."
I don't have 4.3 atm so could u please confirm? It seems very strange to have a security app wich works like that...

A new way for end users to break apps...a developers nightmare come true. While I like the idea of this it is too easy for users to switch off permissions, forget they did it, app appears broken and the developer must waste time supporting a non-issue.
This is aimed at the functionality Google has added to 4.3 not the OP's shortcut app.

The situation wouldn't be the current one if some developpers don't use useless permissions. Have a look at Facebook's permissions...

If used properly this is an awesome addition, the problem is what I stated above will indeed happen.
Example being a wallpaper app (we will call it wall-e) shouldn't be able to read contacts if it can't set contact images, in this example disabling this ability is warrented. But perhaps you didn't know this particular wallpaper app can set contact images, you disable this permisssion. Weeks later your changing John Doe's image to find wall-e in the list with gallery, you think cool I can use wall-e to change John's image so you select wall-e and bam...force close. You think the app is broken, send bug report, the developer reads the crashlog and tries for hours to find out why on this particular device setting a contact image causes a crash.
This is a general example, it gets worse as most users have no idea what permissions are really necessary for Android applications basic functionality.
Then it gets much worse, this is one user...imagine all the millions of users using hundreds of thousands of apps once 4.3 is mainstream like 4.2.

Please try this "App ops launcher", it is only 7kb, scan this and install on your device to have a try.

cheers :good: will it also work on jb4.1.2?

It looks ok, but the icons are way too small and the weather widget size (4x2) is smaller than home grid size (5x5) so it does not center.

The TouchWiz launcher from the S4 also works. The launcher will be very small, but it can be enlarged using X posed Framework + App settings.

Absolutely! Here's what I did. These steps are for those who don't know about Xposed Framework as well.
1. Make sure that Xposed is installed (the framework, not just the apk), download App settings module from the Downloads section within the app. Go back to the modules section, and activate the checkbox for App Settings.
2. Reboot. (It is recommended that you reboot for the framework to be installed for the changes to take effect. While this is true, I reboot after my modules are downloaded/activated. If not, they would require a second reboot as well.)
3. Navigate to "TouchWiz home" in App Settings. Switch it from Off to On, and change the DPI value to a resolution that you find suitable, and hit save. I use 460 for this launcher, and various values for different apps that I find is a waste of screen real estate (like 280 for the Play Store, and most of the Google Apps).

2. Reboot. (It is recommended that you reboot for the framework to be installed for the changes to take effect. While this is true, I reboot after my modules are downloaded/activated. If not, they would require a second reboot as well.)
3. Navigate to "TouchWiz home" in App Settings. Switch it from Off to On, and change the DPI value to a resolution that you find suitable, and hit save. I use 460 for this launcher, and various values for different apps that I find is a waste of screen real estate (like 280 for the Play Store, and most of the Google Apps).

Got it working now, i didn't know which dpi setting to use, although the homescreen is 4x4, i wish it was 5x5 at least. Thanks for the help!

Not that I actually want it...but this is Android. I have it just because I can.
P.S.: Can't add any widgets to it. Not sure why the permissions are wrong, but I didn't care to figure it out. I don't use it.

Gonna give the lg launcher a whirl... Is it functionably?

Don't know why you would want to do such a thing tho... Touchwiz is hideous IMO, but to each his own

You might be able to get one more row out of it with this.
