Porting launchers and lock screen

I got a question and any help would be appreciated.
I have a launcher and lock that I would like to port to a stock s3 rom or cm base.
Does anyone have any information on how I go about doing this?

Nobody got an idea?
What if I put a bounty on it?

What launcher and Lockscreen are you thinking about? Some launchers can be as easy as pulling the apk out and installing in another device. Others may take certain modifications. Lockscreens could be a lot more difficult though.

The launchers I'm talking about are these, they are in a sense the same but different versions. They are also from an Acer port:
here they are.... 1. http://d-h.st/Zel 2. http://d-h.st/aEc
if you need any other information about them let me know (rom they were taken from etc)
Any help will be appreciated and if doable and you are you to it I will pay. (For a fully working launcher)
Also thanks for the reply.

[Q] TW 5x5 ?

Any mods out there that allows for a 5x5 grid on the home screen and doc in TW? I know I can use a home replacement, but love the fact our TW is somewhat optimized for the s-pen.

Would love to see this as well.

What S Pen features do you lose by using a different launcher?
I gave TW a try the first 2 days with the phone, but the 4x4 launcher was just soooo ridiculous on such a large & high resolution screen. I put Nova Prime on with 6 rows and it looks great, but maybe I'm missing features I hadn't learned yet. ???

I use nova prime, which has the 5x5 you speak of. Full use of my s-pen and a totally customized look I love.

No way I'm going to clutter up my phone with another third-party launcher and of course I want more than 4x4 grid on my homescreen, So I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923876 and my prayer has been answered.
As long as you are rooted and on a XXALJI rom then you should be good to flash. But I'd do a nandroid backup just in case .
Now can anyone find a mod for scrollable wallpaper?

If anything launchers remove the clutter. I just think you are lazy and want someone to do it for you.

Haha! Touchwiz now removes the clutter too.:good:

[Q] MOD for 4x5 app drawer?

I apologize if this already exists, but I've searched with no luck. I'm using JOVY S3 DarthStalker V8 rom but not a fan of the 5x5 app drawer. Where can I find a mod that will allow me change the 5x5 to 4x5 app drawer? I found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691957 but it seems to be geared toward a more advanced user than I am. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I really like this rom and don't want to uninstall to go back to stock. Any help will be greatly appreciated. :laugh:

You could always use a different launcher like apex or nova. Basically for the mod you linked above, all you have to do is just replace your current one with the modded one through root explorer.

I tried doing that through Rom Manager but the entire phone froze. I had to do a battery pull and re-install the ROM. I've been reluctant to try other launchers, but I'll give it a try. Thank for the imput

{q} aosp lockscreen on touchwiz?

Hey Everyone
I was wondering if there is a flashable zip of JUST the AOSP lockscreen (ring-style) for our Touchwiz Galaxy S3's
I dont want to install WidgetLocker or the likes.
Thank you

Bump .. no answer
Does anyone know if there is a standalone 5 lockscreen mod I can flash, or something?

You need to do a little searching and looking around. Csrom has a choice for a aosp lock screen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2058032

perhaps if you read the OP's post you would understand he was asking for a flashable zip of just the aosp lockscreen, not a ROM with an aosp lockscreen. where on upndwn4par's thread is the link to a recovery flashable aosp lockscreen zip?
i know that users post on here all the time without searching, but dont be a smarta** until you've actually read the post. it makes us all look bad

I'm not being a smarta** . you don't have to try and be a white night. He's looking for a solution and left a very wide margin with " or something. " I posted a possible solution all you did was start an argument. Csrom is essentially stock touchwiz with mods so I'd say I gave a better solution than you which was nothing. If I was trying to be a smart a** I wouldn't of given anything helpful. Like you

This was unnecessary and I called you on it. Let's not give a backhanded solution. Relax and offer assistance without the commentary. If you have an issue, PM me. Otherwise, Cheers

If you have other mods already, you'll have to edit the smali, which is relatively easy if you use my guide to edit system apks:

There's also an app that called widget locker lockscreen which will give you the aosp lock screen.

back in the day i fooled around with that app. i remember it running clunky. perhaps its better now. the OP doesnt want a 3rd party app though, specifically widget locker.

My apologizes. I missed the part about not wanted widget locker.

Touchwiz launcher on aosp

Had anybody encountered a flashable zip of a touchwiz launcher for use on 4.2.2 aosp? I've searched everywhere and it doesn't look like it's been made yet. Anybody have a link?

That's because it doesn't exist.
And why would you want it? There are not super special features of the touchwiz launcher. It's a pretty bare bones launcher. All teh features of the stock phone are built into the rom, not the launcher.

Because I like it. Same reason you want to use whatever launcher you use. I like the weather widget too, don't like any other ones as they just look like cheap imitations. I had one on the s3 but I guess nobody's made one for the s4 yet.

The widget adds ons aren't part of launcher. And those are even less likely to be ported.
What Im saying about other launchers is that TW is kind of basic so you could take a nova or apex and customize it to look just like a TW launcher.
But the widgets arent going to be available outside of touchwiz.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

Yes it is possible, because I had the S4 launcher AND weather widget on my S3 running liquid smooth. It's just a matter of time before somebody makes one. I personally don't like any other launcher because they don't have that subtle smoothness that the TW launcher has no matter what you customize on them.
Also, nova and other launchers don't have the same transitions as TW.

I believe the ones you had working on gs3 should work on any 4.2.2 because it was universal no? did you try it? one of my friends have a compilation of ported apps and the one on there was made before gs3 was out. will check when i et back home. It should be in my sig though I think
