GSIII TouchWiz Launcher!

Thanks to Smando and Wanam for their hard work porting it to the international GSII.
Reminder: Must be on a TouchWiz ICS rom!
Flash at your own risk!
Don't thank me! I had nothing to do with the porting process. Give thanks to Smando or Wanam!

have you tried it yourself ? and has it given you any FC's ?
does this come with the ability to place a call just by picking up the phone and placing to your ear from the messaging app like the gs3 does or is that a hardware feature?

This is just the launcher. It runs perfectly fine.
One thing I did notice is there are certain widgets that don't work but they probably are looking for another apk that comes with the gs3.
Edit:
Some glitches with setting wallpaper but they are being worked on. Every once in a while it freezes but comes right back not sure if its related to the launcher or another sgs3 app I have installed on my phone.

After careful consideration I concluded both nova and tw4 are better than this

Do we have to use touchwiz to benefit from the S pen features?

Or will they still work in nova launcher? (obviously still on a Sammy rom, not aosp)
Thanks

You obviously still can use all the features with another launcher, you just have to use stock apps (video player, email, gallery, dialer ... etc)

To make use of spen features,you only need those tw frameworks.You may use spen features on any launcher provided you have those frameworks.
And as you said,it will work on Sammy based roms only.It won't work on AOSP,AOKP roms as they lack tw frameworks.....

As others have mentioned before, you can use any launcher.
But for the S-Pen functionality, you need to use the stock apps provided by Samsung.
You "might" lose out on some of the functionality, if you change the launcher. This is just my guess.

I just thought of quick command, I think it only works on TW's home screens and app drawer.

Thanks, to be honest I doubt I'll use the s pen too much anyway, just want the big screen - I find my s3 too small!

So it means no SPen apps on custom roms??? I love changing my roms. Its kind of a deal breaker for me.

It will work on TW-based custom roms but on AOSP/AOKP it will behave just like your finger, no pressure sensitivity and such.

No... There is an App called *G-Note* ( Just like the stock S-Memo app ) that comes with the CM10 PA Based Hybrid JB Rom that I run.. works great!

wait so pressure sensitivity only works with default apps? so it wont work with any drawing apps from the market?

For apps that support pressure sensitivity it will work just fine (take a look at the note 10.1 forum for some examples), but I THINK you still need to be on a TW based rom. I'm not sure though, too bad I no longer have my Note 1 to check it.

i ordinarily flash straight to pure aosp from whatever manufacturer paint job the phone comes with (sense, touchwiz, blur), but after watching the hands on video i may actually stay stock with the note 2, my only reason for switching from stock on my gs3 was ICS/big red not pushing out JB, but the s-pen functions look so good.

I've not found any apps on the market that support pressure with my Flyer.

I wish someone would make this rom

The rom want most is an aokp rom that has snote and my spen features. Even Aosp, I just do not like touch wiz and the way it looks, I just want simple Android or aokp and my spen.
This would be the ultimate rom, also the tablet mode gmail!

I've tried that rom out, and most of them, the closest one is jelly beans, but you can't send pictures through texts and it had a few problems

Many of the SPen apps/features are proprietary, so odds are you won't see them in AOSP.

@ work, so can't find a link for you, but
a) you won't find an actual aosp ROM with those actual apps, they are TW only. but you might find an aosp themed TW base rom if you look. (which I'm sure you already have)
2) I think in one of the actual aosp ROMs has a list of "replacement" apps for both those...
Sent from my calculator watch.

OK, found the thread I was thinking of...
The Official CyanogenMod Thread has a post Here about replacement apps for AOSP ROMs.
Not using an AOSP variant at this point on this phone, so can'y comment re: function/bugs/whatever. (Frankly, don't hate TW at all (esp if you use an aftermarket launcher), and this phone isnt needing anything trimmed down for bloat for better function. Yet.)

Hmm...I think requests and wish lists falls under Help issues

So there is no way to back up snote and have it work on another rom?
Would it be possible to mod touchwiz and basically make it like aosp? Or combine it like pacman or something?

[Q] Can you get "Samsung" hand gestures on TW?

Running ParanoidKangDroid v.2.30 ROM. I'd like to have the hand gestures that come with TouchWiz. Is there a possible way to have this on my ROM?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

you should try to keep all your questions in 1 post. you'll actually get better help that way.
you are on an AOSP rom. you want TW features which are woven into the stock firmware's framework. its essentially a choice: a few TW features vs custom AOSP optimizations. both can share some similar customizations, but not everything is interchangeable.

Any of the feature on TW WILL NOT WORK ON ANYTHING BESIDES TW.....
None!
They're dependant on touchwiz and won't work on anything else.

Thank you both! It would be awesome if someone could somehow port that over to AOKP or AOSP. But anywho I appreciate the advice guys!

As long as source code for TW stays unreleased its impossible to port. That's why no devs bother to try and port. Its going in blindfolded. Same with Sense and other UI overlays. So when Samsung releases source code it'll be possible.

What features exactly? There's apps like Wave Control that do similar things...

Ya, there are a lot of apps that allow TouchWiz like features. There is a MMS apk for AOSP roms that has the while in messaging put phone to ear for Direct Dial. Just search in the playstore TouchWiz or galaxy s III things like that.

Well for that particular feature, I recently discovered that Liquidsmooth (and quite possibly CM, as well as JellyBam and others) have this feature in the settings for the stock messaging application. It's the last setting, labelled as "Direct Dial", but it's pretty inconsistent with the auto-dialing. I've noticed that when I'm laying down and attempt to call it won't work because if I put the phone to my ear the screen just flips to landscape view, and stays on. When I'm up right it tends to work, however I haven't had many opportunities to test this out yet.

That would be sweet if someone got two working with aosp, they need to release the code...

I don't like TouchWiz look. I like some of the apps and features. If it were even possible I'd love to have the multi window feature on the AOSP or AOKP rom interface

Check out avatar ROM then. Its touch wiz but its aosp themed.

Unfortunately, that won't be possible. All the apps you just mentioned rely heavily on the TW framework, you must be on TW to use them. I highly recommend Axis ROM, I am a beta tester for it. Should you decide to venture back to TW, check it out!

I don't think I'll go back to it. I do like the HD icons. I just don't like most of the ui. It doesn't have that paranoid android type of feel to it where I can change the DPI and so fourth. When you use xposed the settings and things look bad from it.

I understand, it's certainly not for everyone! I bounce back and forth, once Halo is out I'll be back on PA for a while!

Thanks Tee-Jay, I do the same thing with my S3. When is Halo supposed to be out? What is it? and when will PA have Multi-Window functionality in it?

Honestly, I'm not sure when it will be out, but there are videos of it on YouTube, seems pretty awesome. Inspired my Facebook Chat Heads

That to me is very fascinating. Now that they have that they should be capable of providing the multi window function as touchwiz does. That would be a great step for Paranoid Android. I have a question for you! Send a message to my inbox!
