CM nightly 175, ive tried a few things but none of them have worked except the multi touch from the droid 2 but the text is mega small
I'd be interested as well. Same thing here... The only one that works is D2 port, with TINY text on regular-sized keys.
hello all, i am just wondering if anyone knows if the new touchwiz 4 will work on our G2's and if it does work would be kind enough to point me in the direction on the .apk? thanks, veritasaequita
There doesn't seem to be an APK for the Touchwiz 4 Launcher as of yet. The best you could do is use the TouchWiz 3.0 launcher on your G2/DZ.
If you want the TouchWiz 3.0 Launcher then go here for an apk that you can install.
aegishua, thank you for your swift reply. I am currently using the 3.0 and am just looking to upgrade to the 4.0. I had read somewhere that one of the new android devices have the 4.0 and I was thinking if thats true maybe I could pull it from a rom dump and try to install it, but I see that perhaps I may have read it wrong. either way thanks for the info.
You're really not wrong in thinking that. It's just no one has pulled it off yet since well.. it came out like 3 or 4 days ago lol. Give the guys some time =P
I have no idea how one would edit the APK to work, but I'm wondering if someone could patch this to work on the Galaxy S2, I fell in love with it on my Note

I've tried decompiling the APK to see what I can gather from it. At least based on what I'm understanding, I don't think the "primary" software is the photowall.apk itself at all. It appears to just be the setting screen, and configuration related things.
Perhaps someone with more knowledge could help? It might be embedded within Touchwiz itself though, which would suck, but ah well.
Oddly enough, I was going to close the thread, it wouldn't load in Gingerbread, or LPQ, However, on the new build of LP2 ICS, it loads without a hitch, so I don't need anyone to fiddle with it Thanks for your effort!
Don't mind me, just informing you that Photo Wall.apk from the SGS3 works just fine by installing it.
I must say that it is quite laggy, but I'm pretty sure it's the phone itself not having enough memory.
EDIT: You can't choose your own gallery, just tried it. It switches back to the default screens you get with the app itself.

I have now tried flashing 2 different ICS rom's that have the Samsung stock keyboard built into them but have been having the same issue with all both. Problem is, im old school and still use the 9 key keypad with T9 (cant stand qwerty, lame i know lol) but have been unsuccessful at getting that particular type to work on either of the 2. it will only allow me to input numbers, no letters at all. i have tried reflashing and get the same results. I have tried TechNiqCality 2.1 (2 different versions) and and Infamous Resurrection. can anyone maybe shed some light on why im having this issue??
thanks
josh
Sorry my friend, T9 is from the old non smartphone days. QWERTY is the new standard! Its not bad once you get use to it.

I rooted my Note 2 (amazingly easy via Note toolkit, thanks), then installed Rom Toolbox and set the DPI to 180. Guess what - NO TABLET MODE! Yes, some apps were with split screen interface, but I saw no navigation bar and no unified notification bar. I am sorely missing the nav bar to the point that I might go back to my beloved Galaxy Nexus.
I guess Samsung have thrown stock Android tablet mode completely out with their Note 2 ROMs.
I can see that Paranoid Android is a ways off, and despite myself I like the S Pen and its associated features, so I was hoping to switch to tablet mode and have the best of both worlds. No luck.
Anyone have any idea how to improve this situation?
It seems like its your first time using any non-nexus phone
There is no tablet mode in stock touchwiz/sense etc if you lower dpi...
They just decrease in size, and apps like keyboard which dont have a "tablet mode" in them FC.
However in Note I there WAS a way to introduce navigation bar for stock rom too...ill post it here so please tell me if it works
Ill be awaiting your feedback :good:

This is the mod...
You just made me remind it
How dare you , just look at my signature! But yes, after Android 4.0, I have been using Galaxy Nexus only - in between I bought a Galaxy Note, flashed stock ICS ROM on it, and enjoyed the tablet benefits. But its horrendous battery life on that ROM made me return to the GNex. I bought Note 2 on launch and am already regretting it because TW is so FUGLY compared to AOSP JB. Thanks for sharing the mod, I will try it and report back

So you are willing to go back to nexus to have the navigation bar that you miss on the Note 2 with 180 dpi? Sure ParanoidAndroid is a solution.. but that means losing S Pen functionality. Then again.. so does moving back to nexus. Might aswell stick to Note 2 legends.

Actually that's why I am kind of torn. I love the S Pen functions, and NOTHING ELSE, on TW. And I love EVERYTHING on AOSP JB .

Why not use the Nova Launcher then ? Sure, it's not stock JB, but gets rid of TW and keeps the goodies intact.. (except for the buddy pages, but these are not that significant...)

I am already using Nova. Surely TW launcher is insufferable for someone who is such a big fan of AOSP android ui. Now if only I could get the softkey navigation bar

bro can i know if the mod worked? so that i can add it to my jb mod collection
Stock ROMs does include some of the TW tablet roms components - for example, minimode-res.apk - is responsible for running tablet miniapps on Samm tablets. It has no reason to be on phone ROM but it is included. (Is also included in JB stock rom) Only reason why tablet mode do not work well, is some of the NOTE apks are HDPI+XHDPI, but as soon as you lower your DPI, android will start to recognize apps as LARGE/XLARGE MDPI/HDPI and there is no programmed layout for the apps to be running this mode.
See my signature, there is a hacked ICS SystemUi.apk from Tablet 7,7, which is running fine on Note1 with 213dpi and 160dpi(160dpi breaks call functionality) - mod taken from US Note1, thanks Dagr8, Wanam might be there also included, Qaazi76 for posting.... Thank to them, hopefully there will be also interest to run tablet mode on JB Note2 from devs.
After i just replaced that SystemUi on Note1, you have "microtablet" on 160dpi, with miniapps running from Note 10,1, some apps, Splanner, Email from Tablets are running....but there are some gugs. 213dpi works fine, also calls work just Contacts.apk is broken but still usable as a Phone for daily in TW tablet mode. Anyway, this is NOTE 2 related so...i believe that stock JB rom is capable to run Tablet, just needs some hacking.
So, as soon as some samsung tablet gets JB, hopefully some of the previous hackers (dagr8,etc...) will work on tablet UI for stock TW rom. Or, they may take the previous hacked systemUi as a sample, or somebody might just try to replace the systemUi from the thread just to try.
Hopefully they will work on it as i still keep N1 cause tablet mode. Sorry Samsung, but i see no sense to have big screen with big fonts, icons etc...Your stock UI for NOTEs is wrong!!!
Layout after setting to 213dpi - is very OK for the screen size (I mean Note1)
160dpi - is too small

Tried it just now. It did not work. Maybe it needs to be updated or something for Note 2 firmware

nav bar
navigation bar can be enabled by editing build.prop
add this line at the end of build.prop to enable:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
tested with N2 on samsung based rom and worked.
