What is the difference between the 2 launchers? The only thing that I have noticed is that the S4 launcher has a "Home" page indicator (see picture) is there anything else that's different?
Also when dragging widgets to on-screen...you can see every other page available at the bottom.

I didn't know that, thanks. I'm just wondering if it's worth going from the S3 touchwiz launcher to the S4 touchwiz launcher.

Pretty sure you can't just put the S4 launcher onto the S3.
There are differences to the Touchwiz framework behind the scenes and, moreover, the S4 sits on Android 4.2.2 whereas the S3 is still on 4.1.1.
EDIT : saw from your sig that you're running T-Mobile's 4.1.2 ... wouldn't make a difference!

Being on T-Mo's 4.1.2 instead of the official i747 4.1.1 and meaning it still most probably wouldn't work IMO.

The S4 Touchwiz launcher does work on the S3 as I've tried it this morning, I just didn't see any difference and reverted back to a backup because i didn't really notice any difference.
Was going to try it out again if there are more features than just the 2 that have been mentioned so far
Actually the s4 launcher works fine on the s3; just the international version though. Nobody has ported it to the at and t version yet.

That is not how the s4 launcher looks on that link. Besides the smoothness. The only difference I could see is when adding an item to the page, it shows smaller pages to show where you are.

Hi everybody- seems like samsung's not going to update the touchwiz 3 launcher on galaxy s, so i was wondering, is it possible to port the sgs2 touchwiz 4.0 launcher to original sgs devices? i really love the touchwiz launcher, and 4 seems to be ALOT better then the 3.0 version, so will we get touchwiz 4 on sgs?

Galaxy S I9000 Q&A
Hi fellows!
Since this is talking about TW4, there was a video showing TW4 on the Galaxy S 1 here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_17eWhaRFs
This is obviously a fake.. and I hate people lying on others and giving theme false hope, so I made a video here proving that fake:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcGXpNSrGfY
So please if you too agree, please share the video on the first one's comment, since that little silly boy blocked me from commenting as I was right.. It would be helpful. Thanks!
As for naranova7's question: We will have to wait for a first system dump from the GSII, then, a lot of people will work on it to do a port. Wait & see.
Ok, the video is obviously fake but how did he made it? Where did he got the icons and widgets?
Well, these are just wallpapers, as I say in the video, the widgets are IN the wallpaper. And the dock icons are also in the wallpapers, so they are just static images.
And it is not TW Launcher, I think it is ADW (see the AppDrawer).
If I had more time I could make one like that, I'll see if I have enough time next week.
has any of you guys tried the new official gingerbread yet? does it have touchwiz 3 or 4?

you think it would need a rom bas like cm10 or slim bean i mean i know its not gonna be a full port but a skin on the rom which is i think as close as it gets
Personally, I dont like TouchWiz. But if you are running CM10 or some other custom ROM, I'm sure you can get a TouchWiz feel with launchers, themes and keyboards. Im sure there are TouchWiz apps around too if you search for them. Thats probably the closest you'll get

You don't need to replace the boot image. All the Gnex variations use the same kernel.
Unless you compiled your own kernel?
Either way, I might be in on dev for this, downloading the Premier kernel source now, will see what I can't replace with gnex stuff (driver wise), the phones are pretty similar.

You shouldn't feel bad about your purchase. I'm quite happy with mine so far (except the overheating issue lately).
I don't have the AOSP version yet, so I can't really speak of the features that are/aren't going to be there.
I'm guessing if they make it true stock Android, there will be no Samsung bloat at all.
So it's basically a much more powerful version than any Nexus phone will ever be,
and as such the price is quite high. Personally, I would not consider it at that price.
I'm happy with my T-Mo, and with a few customization here or there, I can always get stock.
This is really geared toward the hard-core Android fans/developers. You can't doubt the S4 has the best internal hardware
of any phone out there, and there lies possibilities.
I also heard the news from google I/O. Does this mean that this version of the S4 will be as open as a nexus and easy for developers to make their custom ROMs for it?

Sony basically did the same thing with the ZR, took complaints and made a new phone out of it
Just purchased a 600$ Ip57 phone? Well there's IP58 now! (Waterproof not resistant)
It's good to have options, but honestly most people that buy pure vanilla Android are experienced users. Most will have no clue rather it's Vanilla or not.
So there in lies the questions. Why put this out after and most that come here that have an s4 already hacked it to death no? So I don't see the point of the users here who want to upgrade to this when you just put a vanilla type ROM on it.

Not true. my nexus 4 gets bugs every once in a while.
If the hardware is identical to the tmoble version then you should just be able to flash the image through Odin right? Seems kind of like the galaxy nexus where you flash takju from yakju or whatever and boom, you are getting the Google play version of updates, wallet functionality etc. If anything it says Samsung has opened their flagship to aosp right?
Even if you think $650 is too much this means that potentially, Samsung will get touch wiz updates to new versions faster as there will be nexus level compatibility with each new android update. I'm not saying immediate but they will have an inside track based on the fact that Google will actively update their device through AOSP for at least 2 years.

CM will always have bugs due to the way they change the Android coding. Where it is stable and great work people should never look for a bug free OS

Anybody think it would be actually possible to port a 4.2.2 (Google Edition S 4) ROM to our S3?
There both based on 4.2.2, just a thought! I flashed the Google Edition S 4 ROM and it said optimizing xx/88 apps so some things have to be compatible with our ROM!

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
It's not possible because the TW Kernel source is not available. Therefore, the devs cannot create a working kernel to support 4.2.2 TW on our phone (or 4.3 for that matter).
Isn't the "Google Edition" just a complied AOSP build for said device? You could just built it for the d2tmo from the sources.
EDIT: I was thinking of the Nexus series devices, I believe that they are straight AOSP.

Do research before you actually think it's a bad idea.
It's Touchwiz with Touchwiz removed, only a small piece of TW is in it, rest is AOSP.
