[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...

Accuweather widget ?

I was wondering how you can get the accuweather widget to work on go launcher or nova launcher it doesn't show up in the widget list it's has to be something simple but all the help will be appreciated thanks
Rockin it from my macknote2

Anybody
Rockin it from my macknote2

Probably just for touch whiz. You can download it from the store.

Are you running a custom rom or just launcher? Here's a link to add it back:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/w7zh4bnzjhstcxu/Accuweather.zip
Just flash it in recovery (not my work btw, can't remember who I originally downloaded it from).
Or if it's just through the launcher that's not working try this:

4. Set up the ROM with the first steps appearing on first boot (if settings crash, don't worry it's only on the first setup. Just press "ok")
5. Install Xposed Framework & reboot
6. Activate Modules & reboot
7. Finished. You can now customize the ROM with the Xposed Modules as you like. Also you can deactivate many S5 apps, which you don't need.

Next update will be with Tamirdas Mod V2 + S5 Optical Reader (which I forgot)
Otherwise I'm quite pleased with the performance and also the battery life is really good with a modded version of Smooth Criminal Profile for KT Kernel :good:

No. Did you go through all the installation steps before activating lockscreen? Also maybe deinstall Samsung Multiple Widgets, set up lockscreen and then install it again (or leave it deinstalled)

The additions include:
S5 Theme
S5 Musicplayer
S5 Gallery
S5 UPSM, Downloadbooster etc.
Reason for "Additions" is that UPSM gives bootloop if you directly integrate it into the rom (see for example Echoe 25.1, needs dirty flash). Tamirda wants to fix that with Phoenix V9/ Mod V2.

Widgets look perfect for me.
You just need to pick the right ones There is always a downside,
4x4 Homescreen -> no space, widgets always okay
5x5 Homescreen -> space, but widgets do not always fit in
But you are right, I will soon provide a .zip flash for everyone who wants 4x4.

I just tried, yeah I get an FC. Thanks for asking.

I flashed the Rom fine but boot looped when I tried flashing the additions. Flashed Rom rebooted, did the first sign ins and then rebooted to flash extras. Anyone else?

**APP 9/21** Custom S5 "Real Weather" Clock Widget UI (2 versions)

Wasn't a huge fan of the stock Galaxy S5 Weather Clock so here is my version of it with "Real Weather" images.
All background images have been replaced with non-flat high quality weather conditions.
Should work on any rooted galaxy s4 and probably any KitKat 4.4.2 touchwiz device. Let me know how it works out for you.
Enjoy!
Installation instructions:
1. Download and flash The Final Version from recovery. Includes all neccesarry files.
2. Power up and place widget on screen.

https://mega.co.nz/#!GIs1VJQA!48ed7xmY79s3XdiZUssRR4SZ34Y3mJiNip4jpNvKqBY
Alternate Version with hi/low on widget (note that you cannot access city list view on this version without FC, so only use this one if you don't care about list/edit city mode!)
https://mega.co.nz/#!bYNzRKLC!0GvDFBv1ToXW5yHVRNhtEzTJYo4GYzOalnhmK3i62Oc

Do we need both files for it to work?

Yes. One is the widget the other is the weather engine. With only the widget the weather info won't show. However you can try just the widget apk the s4 version of the daemon might work with it I have not tried it I always just replace both. To be safe I would use both apks I posted. If you do try it let me know how it turns out.

Updated to v2. If coming from v1 just flash in recovery.
If first time install follow ALL instructions in OP!
Enjoy!

Update tonight. List view updated so far.

V3 is up and ready for download.
Next update will include landscape list views and a few small touch ups here and there.

OK here it is the FINAL version!
All views are now complete.
Flash in recovery
https://mega.co.nz/#!eRcBXawb!zOjtINoI6X0A7kQx_tyMe4cFpR1kw3ucgBbx5aFS5i4

Up next will be to match the weather in the calender to the clock:

New links up. Fixed a couple images

OK!
Here is the new update.
Changes include the following:
*Thunderstorms (day and night)

*Sunny/clear (day and night)

Flash in recovery.
