[MOD] Modified & LagFixed TouchWiz Launcher

As you know, in galaxy s when we install 4-5 page programs , lags is appear
The touchwiz launcher is lagy too and when we Turn pages the lags is apear
I decompile touchwiz.apk and i explore folders and in res folder i saw few folders that named xxxx-xxxx-1024x600 and i guess this names means 1024x600 pixel like galaxy tab and samsung create a touchwiz that could be use in galaxy s and galaxy tab!
I decided to deleted that folders had a 1024x600 in the last of name and i compile apk and push it to galaxy and i see that is work lagless and very fast and smooth
I made an update.zip of this modified touchwiz and upload in attachment
Guys you can test it and leave Comments on this topic
I forget something
I change the homescreen_menu_shortcut_bg.png with glass one and you can see in pic

What firmware versions does this work on?
Does it overwrite the default TouchWiz?
Is it compatible with any Lagfixes?

this launcher is last version of touchwiz that used in jpm/jp6 roms and must work on any version of roms
yes , this launcher is compatible with any lagfixes

I am sorry, what has been changed from default?
Lowered the resolution or something?

i think you should work with the guy that did the TW mod script:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792817
together you can hack tw and make it work better

Just flashed it via CWM on Voodoo-Doctor-Edition-JP6 and seems to be lagless flipping between pages. G8 job!

Amazing!!!!!!!!
It works!!!!!! Great Work!!!! This launcher is more fast, even using various widgets and an animated desktop. Thanks!!!!

No, based on what he wrote, he deleted icons and textures for use on Galaxy Tab. I wonder if it really does make it faster, though.

No effect here. Still laggy as hell.
EDIT: maybe it's because I'm using a lagfix? I have 5 pages of apps. Not that much if you ask me :S

Can you guys still uninstall apps from the drawer?
Last time I replaced TWlauncher I had lost this ability.

interesting.....

I recommend editing the LauncherConfig.java class to enable the fly in effect when opening the app menu, pretty nice.

My attachement contains a classes.dex which has the ability to uninstall (non system) apps from homescreen + fly in effect.
Remove .apk and .odex first, then push this to system. I always switch to an other launcher before doing that..
@Spike_M
When I delete all folders with 1024*600 in the name, apktool gives some errors..

On reboot touchwiz doesn't load - it gives me a fc error: The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly.
How do I go back to the original touchwiz?

Do you have adb enabled? Otherwise you have a problem..

I have adb installed, but my pc won't detect the phone when plugged in via usb.
It seems like the only solution is to flash another update.zip via recovery. An update.zip of the original touchwiz should work, if someone would be kind enough to put one together. I wouldn't know where to start...
Edit: or is there a way to install an apk via the recovery menu? Long shot, I know. I was thinking installing LauncherPro would bypass the fubar'd tw.

i use modified launcher and its work like a charm
for those guys want to get back original touchwiz
1- download update.zip in attachment and copy it to your internal memory
2- instal it from recovery 2e or cwm recovery

Thanks but I can't access the internal memory of my phone. Now what?

Tw launcher is definately faster now. Try pinch to zoom and see! It even made me consider reverting from launcher pro.. Great fix, thanks!

its not 100% perfect but youre as close as ive ever seen anyone come so far!
damn nice fix!

I think I noticed an small improvement with that fix: 55apps installed (6 pages in app drawer), but there is still some lag...
By the way I'm really glad that there is people trying to improve the performance of TW. I really like TW but the app drawer is laggy I'm still using froyo stock launcher...

How to back up widget on screen

Hi guys
I'm working on a them for our gs, with launcher pro plus
My theme use a lot of widget and complexe position in different screen (7)
Is it possible to create a back up for all the widget and their position and cook a rom that use all my work ?
the idea is: you flash my custom darky , and after the install and 1st boot, you have all widget in their right place in launcher pro
But A thing makes me perplexed .
When i go to launcher pro tools, at "back up homescreen ans sittings" there is a prevent message:
Due to limitation in the Android system, widget connot be backed up.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Damned
Anybody have a solution to this?
is it realy IMPOSSIBLE to make something like that with android and launcher pro?
I can believe that..

Here's a trick
When restoring with launcher pro do this :
Restore
Then when it says to restart launcher pro, reboot your phone instead
When it loads your widget's should be functional.
Try it out.

thanks for the tricks!
But is it possible to save all widget position and put them in a darky's rom , so everybody can have the same when flashing?

Well u can edit the default workspace xml or using the method described above make it so when flashing the update.zip of the rom, it places a preconfigured launcherpro backup into the /data/data folder of launcherpro and hence upon restart it should work.
^^ All theoretical

fresh cm9 nightly 0901 for a100

***UPDATE 09/03/2012
Just uploaded the revised tweak build... moved apps that needed to be moved to /data/apps to work properly( thanks pio!), everything should work fine now.. I also added lmt launcher so you wouldn't have to download it seperate! enjoy! http://d-h.st/qaN
I'm compiling another stock cm9 nightly now... should be done in a little while will post link after I get it uploaded!
/*-CM9 Nightly's-*\
09/01- http://db.tt/rkAFX5tv
09/03- http://d-h.st/BY8 ... as promised . Sorry its so late in the evening lol!

/-*CM9 Tweaked*-\ ( see below for what alls baked in )
09/01 Nightly based tweak build 1 http://d-h.st/p0U
09/01 Nightly based tweak build 2 http://d-h.st/qaN **Newest***
***09/01/2012
Here's a link to an unofficial cm9 nightly I just built... I don't have enough post to start a thread in dev so I had to put it here ... and I don't know if I'm supposed to link to drop box but that's where I uploaded it sorry... just figured someone might want it... nothing special just stock cm9 built a couple hours ago (0901) ... of course u need to flash gapps after the zip... ha I don't have enough post to even post a link lol I guess p.m. me and I'll send it to ya if u want ... http://db.tt/rkAFX5tv
Update! Here's another drop box link to the cm9 zip I flash its from the source build yesterday with Linuxsociety's sweet kernel, hide bar , custom build.prop, edited gpio.kl to disable the hardware home key( I'm always hitting it on accident), nexus boot animation with the droids on motorcycles lol, 042* gapps, nesoid, and n64oid all baked in!!!!... http://db.tt/ult9hnVO its 178~ mbs.. I didn't make any of the mods besides the custom build.prop, not a big feat lol I just put all these together into a single flash because its easier for me to flash one zip....
Here's what's baked in....
--Hide bar (demo) (displays a little link on bottom of screen to buy full version in market... u can click it and it dissapears) *** note when hiding the navigation bar your wallpaper will dissapear...its a bug in the app for ics/jb version... only work around atm is to use a live wallpaper.. not a big deal... also I recommended installing lmt launcher for navigation buttons while in full scale mode... touching the bottom of the screen brings the navigation bar back...
--linuxsocietys godmachine 1.6 OC kernel (very nice kernel with lots of governers and schedulers... like u didn't already know)
--custom build.prop w/ various tweaks
--nexus bootanimatiom( the ones with the droids on bikes like tron.. full screen for the a100
--edited gpio.kl key layout to completely disable hardware home key.. although it will still light up.. I always hit it while playing games on accident so I like it better disabled)
--gapps 042* cm9 ics baked in... no need to flash gapps...
--nesoid and n64oid baked in to play your favorite old school roms( and no I don't know where to find game roms... Google it)
..... Enjoy

Nice, good to see someone picking up on CM9 again!
I would suggest signing up at dev-host, goo.im, etc. Drop box will get bandwidth locked pretty quick.
Keep it up!

thanks

Thanks I dk how often I'll do a build I wasn't planning on doing this one but for some reason HDMI audio doesn't work on any of the cm10 builds I have tried so I went back to relix-flex rom but wanted CyanogenMod so figured why not build from source... I forgot how long it took to repo sync and build( the last time I compiled a rom was for my evo over a year ago ..) sucks not having my desktop ... its about all my intel i3 laptop could handle lol... I got some other things in the works for the a100 so I'll end up having to sign up with dev-host or goo or something... but for now I thought I would share that ... I got about eight more post before I can post a link lol so anyone feel free to copy the link above and repost it so it works... it needs a couple //'s and a space taken it! That's how I had to put it sorry lol

update!! tweaked cm9 with goodies
I updated the OP with another link to a cm9 with some things I tweaked.. if u can't coble the link together pm me and I'll send u the link...

...almost forgot...
The sdcard swap is also baked into the tweaked cm9... ull have to set the correct permissions with root explorer and reboot for it to take effect...

If its in init.d its gonna cause problems. If its in /system/etc then it needs something to run it like script manager.
Unless of course you called it with a script run from init in the ramdisk, or found some other method I haven't thought of (extremely likely lol)

Yea lol I simply placed it in /system/etc as install-recovery.sh w/ the correct permissions though once flashed the permissions changed back to rw-r--r-- .. I'm uploading some zips to dev-host right not from the tab so I haven't had a chance to change permissions back to executable and reboot to see if that works.. though I don't think it will ... but yea worse case scenario it'll still have to be ran with script manager.. I wasn't thinking about the install-recovery.sh not working because I was on the flexreaper rom where it works as intended without a script manager!!

... nesoid and n64oid fc's
Seems like nesoid and n64oid don't like being installed as system apps .... reinstall the apks and everything's fine.... I'll post the links to the apks along with a link to lmt launcher as soon as I get everything uploaded ... lmt is a nice launcher that enables the quick control type thing like in the stock browser under labs except its system wide which goes nice when hiding the navigation bar and having your tablet in full screen mode

apk links...
If nesoid or n64oid is force closing when trying to load a rom simply reinstall the apks found here... nesoid: http://d-h.st/a61 n64oid: http://d-h.st/jb6 Lmt launcher: http://d-h.st/gVU

If you add a /data/app directory to the zip with those apks and then add a line to updater script it should then work properly. Just copy the system extract line and change it to match the /data information. I can bust that line out for you if you need it.
Or you can look at the aoikaze zip setup and updater script to see what I mean. I prefer this method as its easier to remove apps that aren't wanted (not everyone wants emulators for example) as they can just uninstall normally vs having to go delete it from /system/app.

Thanks a lot that was my intentions lol but couldn't remember how to do it .and to impatient to Google it lol. that's why I left lmt launcher out from the beginning as it won't run installed as a system app or at least it won't for me but it should be included ... and yea the emulators need the option to be uninstalled haha... I will take a look at ur aoikaze and see what u mean n try to have an updated zip with those apps installed as normal tomorrow.. thanks a lot ur help is very well appreciated

Okay! So this should be my tenth post lol so I can post links now! I moved hide bar, nesoid, and n64oid to /data/apps and added lmt launcher and they are all working fine now I will post updated link when I get home also i should have another stock cm9 nightly for you all too...

You should probably remove gapps. Cm leaves them out on purpose, it sucks but its safer for cm xda and yourself to leave them as a separate flash. I think Google asked them to not include them so cm's wishes it to be left out of their ROMs.
This may have changed but I just go by what I was told about it.

i love it but how do i put the home button back that drives me crazy with the bar removed that i love but i get stuck in Netflix and i actual used the home key. And my compass does not work

[Q] can someone make a specific rom for me ?

i was wondering if someone could make a rom for me..
what i would like to have
1- android 2.3.5
2- htc sense 2.1
3- all sense stock feature
4- stock bloats removed like twitter, google talk ,stocks, plurk, quick ,lookup, news and weather, news, ebuddy xms ( all these except stock fb app that comes with the phone)
5- no change in ui ( icons and all that) or whatsoever
6-overclock feature so that i can clock it at 800 mhz or lower than that
7- updated adreno libs ..enhanced graphics so that i can play games smoothly
8- beats audio
9-improved music quality
10-no change in camera feature
11more internal storage like anything between 200-500mb
12-basic root apps installed like no cpu frills titanium backup pro and flash 10.1 (if it really works) and others that i dont know about..
13-stock boot animation stock unlock screen ..
14everything working ..
anyone ( an expert ) could make a rom like that i'd really appreciate it!!
the reason that i am not downloading other peoples rom is because of reduced battery life because of that rom and moreover i am happy with the stock 2.3.5 and sense 2.1 ...i do not want to change the ui boot animation lock screen or something like that... i just want some extra feature on my phone and bloats removed thats all
and i got my wfs from india !!
if i am asking too much than than you can directly tell me!! no need to hesitate!!

[port] asus launcher , lighter than nova , silkier than apex.

this is the apk file of asus launcher version 2 , it is extremely fluid , with no lags at all , and perhaps the least ram consuming launcher ever .. give it a try ..
u need to push it to system /app , and install it there or just reboot ..
for me it takes under 20 mb of ram at any time ( 5 pages , 2 widgets)
it will work with any jeally bean for sure , and i guess with ics also , but i dont think will work with KK ..
upload img
here is the apk ..

Thanks for the share, will wait some reviews before trying it [emoji9]
