[Tutorial] TouchWiz SGS3 for Gio

Hi!
This is a tutorial for installing TouchWiz Launcher ported from SGS3.
First,this is easy to do and do not require special knowledge of Android OS.
Second,you will need an ICS ROM to do this! Do not try this on any other android ROM!
So,if we understand each other,let's begin...
Step 1.
Download and install any Density Changer (for example, LCD Density Modder will do)
Step 2.
Download TouchWiz port from here (it's the thread of author of the port,so I'm just helping you around with installing it on Gio) and put it on root of your SD card.
Step 3.
Open Density Changer (in our case - LCD Density Modder),and change the dpi value from standart 160 to 145.We will need this for our ported TouchWiz to look properly.Of course,you can experiment with this value,but I found that 145-150 is fine.
After setting up the value,tap Save and reboot.
Screen will look odd after booting up,don't worry,next step.
Step 4.
Reboot to recovery (CM9 by GalaxyICS Team includes this option),and flash the zip you downloaded from Step 2.
Phone will auto-reboot.
On start you will be asked what launcher to use, {Your_Launcher} or TouchWiz.I believe you'll make the right choice
If everything is cool,the homescreen of TouchWiz will appear.It is very smooth and good-looking for me
Known bug by me: you may need to reinstall some apps,cuz their icons do not appear in menu after TouchWiz install.Reinstalling an app fixes this.
Have a nice day!

Mate, I already did this in themes and apps....

oh sorry,haven't noticed that.Had to do all by myself except what you posted in R thread
Any way to delete thread then?
edit : wait, 125 is incorrect value, all is messed up with 125 dpi. 145 is ok,correct it in your tutorial then)

Looking for a CM10 Touchwiz theme for my Galaxy ace.

Does anybody know one?

If you use Nova or Apex Launcher , just download the next file from store and in your launcher aplly the theme
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5waG90b3gudG91Y2h3aGl6Il0.

Thanks, although is there anything that will make all the UI more touchwiz like

There is paid theme app on a play store called TouchWiz 5 for cm10. It's for HDPI devices but you can change your dpi density and install it and than back to original density. I'm using a theme and it's just an eyecandy

One thing, when I change the dpi the majority of apps in the market become incompatible

[Q] changing dpi in stock rom?

Does anyone try to change dpi to a lower value other than stock value (480)?
Thanks for your help..

Have changed it but am not on stock
Why dont you make a nandoid backup and try it. I am curious myself. Find ro.sf.lcd_density in build.prop and try changing it to different values. Oh, and post some screenshots if you can

I tried that but then the Google Play goes haywire with compatibility issues and the home screen and app drawer do not cover up the whole screen :crying:

I am running 400 on stock
No issues with play
Some stock apps such as remote ,force closes

240 dpi for 4.2.2

i wanna change my dpi to 240
for new leak 4.2.2 me7
i know i can do it by any app
but as u know there are many problems
for dialer , camera and another things
any one have this .zip files !!
or what can i do for it ??

i will upload my ROM for 4.2.2 in the next few days and it is include 260 DPI option
but if u choose it you have to choose AOSP contacts not samsung ones
TW launcher is modd to fit on 260 DPI
also i am doing some tests now on calculator but it can be replace by any of 3 other calculator apps included, so basically its a good start
keep your eyes on my thread if you wana try it

You have to use nottach xmod with app setting module so you can choose per app dpi and resolution.

I use the 120 DPI on com.android.settings, modified via App Settings... the text become much smaller so it's a bit harder to see but at least it feels like you really have a five inch phone not a four inch.
