Hi everybody- seems like samsung's not going to update the touchwiz 3 launcher on galaxy s, so i was wondering, is it possible to port the sgs2 touchwiz 4.0 launcher to original sgs devices? i really love the touchwiz launcher, and 4 seems to be ALOT better then the 3.0 version, so will we get touchwiz 4 on sgs?

Maybe..who knows? Nobody can't say yes or no until sgs2 is available..then maybe we can expect tw4..but still it probably will take some time to see a ported version.
Btw..wrong section..

Galaxy S I9000 Q&A
Hi fellows!
Since this is talking about TW4, there was a video showing TW4 on the Galaxy S 1 here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_17eWhaRFs
This is obviously a fake.. and I hate people lying on others and giving theme false hope, so I made a video here proving that fake:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcGXpNSrGfY
So please if you too agree, please share the video on the first one's comment, since that little silly boy blocked me from commenting as I was right.. It would be helpful. Thanks!
As for naranova7's question: We will have to wait for a first system dump from the GSII, then, a lot of people will work on it to do a port. Wait & see.
Ok, the video is obviously fake but how did he made it? Where did he got the icons and widgets?
Well, these are just wallpapers, as I say in the video, the widgets are IN the wallpaper. And the dock icons are also in the wallpapers, so they are just static images.
And it is not TW Launcher, I think it is ADW (see the AppDrawer).
If I had more time I could make one like that, I'll see if I have enough time next week.
has any of you guys tried the new official gingerbread yet? does it have touchwiz 3 or 4?

Not to question you, but do you actually have the skills to do this? Something like this is not an easy task for people that know what they are doing so when you say you will help, does than mean you will test or can you actually contribute?
While some do not like TW, I do not understand why people would complain if there are more options for you phone. If you do not like it, move on to something else but don't tell people not to do it.
If the new TW was ported with all the new features in the SGS3 I am sure people would jump on it. Even the TW haters.

As I say that, it's better than sense 4.0. Nothing is better than stock ICS imo.

U can install it as a normal apk, or if u're rooted u can also push it to /system/app to enable delete apps directly from app drawer. In that same section u'll find another thread with tw launcher. This is of course TW4. Anyways, i've lived the tw experience and my final thought was "i'm never going back" , it was for sure my worst android experience.
And finally, as a response to the guy that claims that tw is a God in comparison to sense, i would propose to go jump off a cliff. They both suck and are no way close to vanilla feel, but if i had to choose between those 2 , i would go with sense, i've tried all sense versions up to sense 3.5 and neither tw3 nor tw4 are not even close.

A bit much there. Some people like like touchwiz because of some of the features it brings to the table that, quite frankly, should be in the Galaxy Nexus. The one that is bothering the HELL out of me right now is Wifi-Direct.
The S2, running Gingerbread, has a fully functioning, built-in Wifi-Direct Application. The Nexus? Does not. (Also every single video codec native to it without needing an app)
The S3, will have a better camera app, S-Beam, and a whole host of other features, that are only included with TouchWiz.
The features I've mentioned are not limited by the hardware differences between the S2 or even the S3 in comparison to the Nexus.
It's not always about looks, it's about features as well. I doubt telling someone to go jump off a cliff if they don't agree with your opinion on design is warranted.
Not a fan of touchwiz or sense
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Jump off a cliff was metaphoric of course (didn't expect i would need to explain that). Anyways, all this stuff is a matter of taste, and yes there are people who like tw, for whatever reasons. As i mentioned i spent time in both worlds, the only feature I liked in tw was the memo app. The features in sense such as widgets (weather, stocks, htc email, news feed and so on), more practical and nicer lockscreen, better transition and scrolling animations, recent apps and settings shortcuts in starus bar, and visually nicer and more colorful UI etc... plus, the whole general feel and smoothness of sense, i'm not talking about sense 4, although htc will polish the software on one x in future updates. Unless someone hadn't lived with both UI's his/her arguements are not valid.
Anyways back on topic, the "features" u mentioned in ur post above are directly integrated into the samsung framework and other system files, and u can see the progress of such ports in the gnex dev section. But that's not the point, people who NEED TW features should go and buy samsung phones with tw, gnex is clearly not the best choice for them.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
OK some of you guys need to understand that if wants to bring TW to the galaxy nexus so be it. I'm tired of reading crap about how "why would you want it" if you don't want it don't flash it when there's a touchwiz rom simple as that. Don't sit here and tell him you hate TW for what ever reason. He is asking for help to port it. If u are not going to contribute then don't say anything at all.

Why buy a gnex if you want a manufacturer overlay?
Seems kind of strange to me. I got a gnex because I wanted pure google.
The Sensation forum is also full of people complaining they don't want sense.
It's all very strange, like buying a vw golf and being disappointed that you can't put a 7 litre v10 in it.

So you're last sentence is inferring the Galaxy Nexus is a mid range Android "vehicle" and Sense is a more advanced custom engine that it can't handle?

hi all i've been lurking in nexus forums lately and i found miui ( 4.1 is released ) to be totally beautiful and gorgeous it has a really nice theme to it , + it have a ton of customizables ...but there's only about 50 k views ,,why is that so ? it seems to be a well made rom ...so is it so unpopular? i don't have a nexus yet though
because it looks like an iphone. alot of people dont like that look.

Some people like the aosp versions. Generally people have different preferences. I used to love MIUI and use it frequently until I came to the gnexus where the whites were not up to my expectations. However today jb version of MIUI is out and I'll be giving that a go. Hopefully will stick with it.

I'm not sure about the others, but i've been in the android sphere for over 2 yrs and i never flashed a miui rom. iOS like UI's just don't interest me.

This for me also.
Saying it looks like an iPhone isn't the real reason because you can customize MIUI much easier with it's built-in theme engine - there's hundreds of themes available for it that looking NOTHING like an iPhone and NOTHING like aosp as well.
The reason it isn't popular here is because it runs like crap on the galaxy nexus. If you popped in over at the Desire HD or SGSII forums you'll see it's one of the top ROMs used there because it runs beautifully on those devices.
oh so miui isn't optimized for nexus ? one more thing is there a difference between aokp , aosp , cm10 ?
I don't like closed source ROMs plain and simple. Release your source so others can build on your success.

It doesn't have to look like iOS at all. I have run Miui with Apex Launcher and it looks nothing like an iPhone.

I just tried it out and it can't currently hold a candle to Jelly Bean in terms of UI smoothness. Deal breaker for me. Also doesn't seem as stable, and chews through battery.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
It is not as smooth as other roms. I like miui a lot, just not on nexus yet. Hope the smoothness comes back.
you guys that have never tried and think its too much like the iphone check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hICCWO8vaXU
It doesn't take advantage of GPU rendering and therefore is God awful slow and painful to view. Basically its not at all optimized for the nexus. You can change the scrolling style on the launcher, or use apex/nova, but as a workaround its a poor trade-off.

Why you ask? Because they refuse to release source.
sent from my Galaxy Nexus running RasBean!!!!
1. i'm not particularly fond of its smoothness or appearance. i ran it on my evo for about a day, just to see what all the fuss was about, but was not terribly impressed.
2. closed source. not because i really care either way about re-contributing to the community (sorry guys), but because i've spent enough time working with slightly-less-than-reputable foreign programmers to be cautious of it. before you start ranting about how i'm some kind of racist/anti-chinese douchebag, just stop. i'm not even suggesting that there are sneaky things going on, because it's awfully hard to hide those kinds of things from the rest of the community. their fierce determination to keep all their code/modifications to themselves, for some reason, just makes my spidey sense tingle.
guys today they just updated it to jellbean making it smoother
It's just not butter!!

I currently have a Galaxy Nexus and was going to get a Nexus 4 but after reports of not so great battery, I'm thinking about going with a Note 2 instead. I had a Galaxy S2 with Touchwiz and did not like the look of it at all, it was just so basic. Problem solved after I rooted and installed a custom ROM on there.
However with the Note 2, from what I've read, a lot of features will be forfeited by leaving Touchwiz. I'm using AOKP with my Galaxy Nexus and like all the added tweaks and will find it hard to leave them.

with a quad core and 2gb of ram I don't have any issues just running apex (or another launcher) over touchwiz launcher. Get most of the TW tweaks with a better launcher.
Agreed with using launchers. Ive used the s2, s3 and now the note2 with nova and love it. Love the gestures as well. Cant get much better imo

Totally agree. I am using Go Launcher and couldn't be happier. I think most people grab roms because they have a tweaked launcher... but I can't understand what I am missing by not doing so, other than multi-window. I would rather wait for multi window and have the rest of the phone work than the other way around.

Because of all this negative comments, I am also interested and will try to get it running. And when Samsung didn't give it the same ID, maybe both together...
And because I didn't have any other Note, can someone give me some information about the newest, old version? Which device, which firmware, which version number? Are sent me via PM the app apk, irovider apk and all libs he found like libsnote_P4C.so?
Hi, does anybody have this?
I had the galaxy note 8 and the snote was great. Hate the 2014 note. I agree that it is a major step backwards.
Any one have the note 8 snote apk.

Lecture notes saved my interest in this tablet. Without it, the tab is so meh. Hate the capacitive buttons even more now. I find myself turning it in unnatural ways to avoid touching them and when I do need to touch them, it's awkward.
Sent from my SM-P600 using xda app-developers app
I Have access to both, but they are not rooted, and my technical knowledge is not very extensive ,but if you guide me through I can send you the files you need. It has been very frustating, my SO got the new note because she liked my n8013, but the new s note is completely backwards, formula search is a pain to do, and shape matching is no longer the intuitive thing it used to be. I was looking forward to the kitkat update, but now I am not sure, as an engineering student those 2 functions make my life worlds easier.
I am not agree about mention, that S note 5.3 is worse then S note in Tablet Note 2014. It is trouth that almost 60% of functionality is cuted in base version that include in Note 4 (android 6, v 5.3) but from "Samsung Apps" market you can download extensions & new S Note become very powerfull tool. The main cool things: usefull the "Add menu" (diagrams, shapes, images etc.) & grouping function, thet allow you to create differents elements (for example I used it in UI protopyping).
I totally agree with visuaris' post. With the extra downloads, it has become almost amazing again. Well, at least it is so much better than the version you get with stock lollipop on the note 10.1.
I have found that Samsung now allows you to use Snote 5.x on any device niw, but the problem is that the minimum version of OS is Marshmallow, as seen from this download: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...elease/s-note-5-1-00-95-android-apk-download/
No offense to earlier posters, but I don't think the original poster was asking for opinions on whether or not they should use the new version. I think they were asking if it was possible. I am with the op. I would like to know if there is a way to install version 5.x on mine, because the version we have now is not compatible with the note 8 phone (as an example).
I don't know a great deal about what is different between lollipop and marshmallow, so this might sound stupid, but can't one just change the html descriptor in the file to make it compatible (change min level from 23 to earlier). Again there might be some issues, but I assumed that lollipop and marshmallow are the same at the core?!
