[MOD] TouchWiz 4 for Galaxy S

UPDATE for JVH! - 08/05/2011 Files are on >this< page
This is Touchwiz 4 for all stock 2.3.3 roms Enjoy!
Guys, main work was made by fguy from 4pda.ru forum, I just make some minor changes and modifications, pack files properly in zip files and post them here.
Install attached Zip file using recovery. Or unzip it and copy files using root explorer. After installation - wipe dalvic cache.
2 versions, first - stock one, second with modified smaller text, transparent labels under icons at the bottom (looks better)
Also versions with stock SGS2 icons!
Home screen number and screen count you can customize yourself.
PHP:
system\default.prop
ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen=3
ro.csc.homescreen.screencount=7

real touchwiz 4

since we got no sources for tw3 i doubt that anyone can alter it that much.
but unless you are tw fan, i don't see a reason why anyone would want to use it. lack of basic options like default home screen is just a no go for me.

Is this a rom?

I don't think a 3.9MB zip file is a ROM mate

4mb size is not a Rom

I don't know how to convert it to be cwm3 compatible and my current version can't handle it xD

Does this works with cm7?

Does this Touchwiz 4 delet Touchwiz 3 when install it? do i have to flash a rom again to get Touchwiz 3 back, or it is just a Laucher, like louncher pro, adw launcher.... Thanks.

i can't install it either in recovery? are we supposed to copy and paste over the old touchwiz files in the sdcard directory?

Need cwm3 version

Unable to install
Sorry, but I may be missing something but when I try to install on my GSIII it says the install failed. Am I missing something? I am running ICS 4.0.4 as Ariel 2.06 ROM. Thanks.
EDIT - NEVERMIND - I figured it out - just copy APK to the /system/app directory without actually performing the install. Thanks!

that works also, but I did state it will say that

This didn't work for Nova
Does anyone knows about this type of widget for Nova Launcher?

I am using Nova and I have this working. What I had to do was install, reboot, add widget, reboot again and upon start-up the second time it was working. I did initially have Nova fc on me when I tried to add the widget, but I got it working.

Hi,
thanks for that. Works perfectly on S3 JB 4.1.
Unfortunately, there is no clock in this widget.
Is this possible to adapt the S3 accuweather widget for working with apex ?

Hi,
I wander if it works on Note with jelly bean.

Getting AOSP/CM10 Dialer & Contacts to work on Samsung Rom

Hi Guys,
Losing my patient on laggy Samsung Dialer and Contacts, so I decided to replace it with AOSP dialer and contacts. It didn't work out 100%, but it works to some extend
Contacts - so far all working as it should.
Dialer - in call screen doesn't work. It will use Samsung in call screen instead. Well, is good too because I can use call recording feature
Missed called - show in lockscreen but only open to contacts instead of the one who had called.
If you wish to install AOSP Dialer & Contacts, here's how:
1) Samsung mms.apk won't work with AOSP contacts. So you will need to replace the SecMms.apk with AOSP mms.apk. You can do that from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36617379
2) Next, download the zip file below. Then navigate to system/app. Find SecContacts.apk and rename it to SecContacts.apk.bak (do not delete)
3) Reboot into recovery and flash the zip file you just downloaded. All contacts will be cleared. So make sure you have backup.
4) Reboot your phone. Navigate to system/app. Find ContactsProvider.apk (not SecContactsProvider.apk) and rename it (do not delete) to ContactsProvider.apk.bak
That's it. If you found any bug, please let me know. Or if you have other method to get AOSP/CM10 Dialer and Contacts to work with Samsung based rom, please share.
Thanks.
Do this at your own risk.

Sadly I wasn't able to get this working..
Also the step where we rename contactsprovider after a initial reboot.. maybe theres some way we can merge contactsprovider similar to the mms method.
Would love to see this working tho !

No errors in particular.. dialer didnt show up in launcher.. Iv added this as a aroma option in my rom, so I havnt followed your instructions exactly right..
Hence why im wondering if we can do a similar method to mms.
EDIT: This has to be possible look at chameleon rom on the SII, his managed to get a whole bunch of AOKP & CM stuff working on stock..

Yeah, hopefully some great developers can help to merge the apks into Samsung framework. In the meantime, this is a workaround.

or you can use Ex Dialer with the ICS theme. No lag, and it's somewhat better than AOSP/CM dialers. It has lots of options to chose from, it's free and has an option to be kept in memory

Contact.apk required the file to be present. Deleting it caused FC. Since we already have SecContactsProvider.apk running, there is no point leaving ContactsProvider.apk running too. Is fine though if you do not want to rename it.

Thank you! I'll check around for that then. Much appreciated!

On Jovys rom I posted a link with modified framework and files that will allow tethering if you are using the MK2 modems.

Tether/hotspot only seems to work on 4.2 roms tried 4.3 and 4.4 none works or seems to have no support at least nobody answer to this kind of issue

That is good to know. I will migrate my way over there and look for that. Now all I have to do is get smart on how to modify framework.

They go under /system/csc folder
You should be able to just overwrite the two that are there.
I typically delete thme out and then write the new ones and change permissions.
Reboot and it will read the new files.

Hello Agelistus,

It will be Post #225
I didn't copy the direct URL as I don't own the link of files. Would be glad to post them here if TheArtiszan is ok with that or re-upload them to make them available in more than one spot.

Much obliged!!
Hey southsidexz, thanks a million!! xda is an entire universe of information and I would have truly burned the midnight oil looking for this to no avail. Gonna try it out now. So far that's my only issue with infamous 9, it seemed that wifi tethering worked natively on 8.0. Again, many many thanks!

Your welcome
Your welcome. Always glad to help people around.
On another note I was dumb enough to rename the framework to old before I replaced it so my Phone got killed..... However thanks to cabloomi and his Recovery Image to .tar.md5 odin flash, I was able to flash CWM latest recovery so it could read my MicroSD card and then flash the zip I created that flashed the framework file. (Thanks to ScatteredHell)
If in case someone else does it... and doesn't want to re-flash the rom or restore old backup.
You can flash Framework via recovery, following this thread instrucitons to get the framework apk into a flashable format for recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840098
If in case you have a recovery that won't read your external SD card (like I did) you can use this link to flash any recovery via ODIN.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281287
(Side Note: if you get errors, please see post #23 on the link above, it provides the solution if you get errors)
Note:I am not responsible for damaging or further damaging your phone, I am just providing help/alternate solutions. Your phone is your responsibility
I follow the steps above and got back up running.

Just to make this easy I had the same problem on replacing framework, too. Then I searched on some other forums here and found out you can copy or move the framework apk into system folder and fix permissions then move that framework I to the framework folder to replace over the existing apk and just reboot. Just make sure to make a nandroid before doing anything just incase something goes wrong.

Thanks
Thanks Carlos2200,
I would've taken that route but sadly I couldn't get into the system folder. I wasn't able to do a nandroid restore as my SD card got messed up and the backup was gone.
Definitely for anyone, make sure you have a good Nandroid before anything.
I will update that the method I mention above does remove all your accounts only. So you will have to re-add them.

An alternative....
For those who don't care to bother with the framework files in the event that 3minit is updated to work with 4.3, I came across an app on the play store called "wi-fi tether router" that seems to work, though I haven't a clue why it does. Changing the user agent on the browser renders it successful it seems. Good luck to all!

I have posted a file for side loading, just search for it in the Q&A threads.
You do not have to flash to make it work.
Your the second one to request such a thing, and makes me wonder why these things are getting deleted when they have no remove feature in settings.

I think people going overboard "debloating" and or freezing/uninstalling to much with TB
Anywho you could try to use 7zip and extract the apk from a flashable Rom
Hoping this helps

Thanks for the responses. This has nothing to do with de-bloat or even missing APKs.
I have been using YKK's 4.3 TW Note 3 ported ROM, and his ROM only has the Note version of s-Notes which does not have speech recognition and formula match in it.
I would like to grab the APK from the stock ROM S-Note and see if I can install and use it with his ROM. That is all.

Gooberdude, Is this the thread you mean?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2685544
If so, is th is the same as S-Note ?

It was worth giving a try, and I guess that's is why I try to stay away from ported Rom's, I never had any luck with them there was always something that wouldn't work quite right.
