[APP] Tweaked Touchiz 4 Launcher *Change Homescreen/5 Icon Dock/Sort apps*

FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO STATE, I HAVE NOT CREATED THIS LAUNCHER, I AM NOT TRYING TO TAKE CREDIT FOR Fr4gg0r AND Swiftworks WORK!
I am just posting this as there is not a thread about it on the SGS II forums and it works fine for me

Installation
Install the tw4.zip in recovery (also contains ShareApp.apk; this will remove the old twlauncher, so make sure you have another launcher as backup installed!) (if zip does not install the app, /system is not mounted rw, then push the app manually to /system/app/ [remove TouchWiz30Launcher.* if present!] or
install the launcher as normal app. This will have some restrictions: for example it cannot uninstall apps (not really tested; only possible if you don't already have a twlauncher installed!)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Developers
Swiftwork (mainly settings layout, themes, tw4manager)
Fr4gg0r (the rest )
this project took/takes a lot of time, donations to Fr4gg0r and Swiftwork are appreciated.

How about the samsung widgets? Does it needs resizing after pushing the launcher?

Is there any possibility to have a 4x5 drawer?

where is tw4 manager ?

i fin it thanks 4 this port

Calendar widget doesn't work. Nice job

Definitely making me lean towards going back to TouchWiz. How's the compatibility when you change DPI?

dock apps
good job.
I tryed to put it on my galaxy s II, but I don't undestand how to add icon apps in the dock space. If I try to move icon over the dock there is a trash icon. At the moment in the dock there is only the application icon.

Go to app drawer then press edit

Thanks man good job

works very well.
by cons but I have no preference options launcher is in notification?
is not something I have tw4manager how please.

Yes, go to preferences then "App Drawer" and then adjust the "App Column Count" slider to 5.

Nice but ...
Hmm, it has potential, but far too many annoyances to make it usable. The biggest being that there is no way that I can see to be able to rearrange the icons in the dock, who the hell wants the app drawer launcher on the right? And, like Touchwiz, the dock and home-screen scroller dots take up way too much screen estate.
Meh, excited to start with, ultimately let down. Back to Launcher Pro Plus, which is what always happens when I try an alternative launcher. I should learn not to fiddle really

Other icons can be adjusted but yes, not being able to move app drawer icon is annoying. Will take a look myslef even though this isn't my work.

I think i saw an autohide option in the settings, will look later, look in preferances

I only have the app launcher in the dock, how can i add phone, contacts...?

It's kind of good. But it really seems like it's lacking. There needs to be more dock backgrounds, more options, more themes. Still, it is better than stock. It's just that it doesn't do much.
Hmm I've had a couple of force closes when using SMS. It says it is due to twlauncher. This is the first launcher related force close I've encounted.

i think the biggest letdown, imo, is that you have to reload widgets to get them all working again. means something is wrong in the coding where modified unfortunately.

Doesn't seem fully baked. I switched to 5 rows and went to populate the home screens and the first app I dropped in appeared to fall in between the screens. It did not show on any screen but I could see it as I used the slider to go between screens. Nothing I could do would let me get hold of it and delete it. Love the concept and its something I have been asking about so I hope some of the smart people run with this and get the issues worked out. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

Um if I didn't do a back up before flashing this zip, how can I get back to stock TWlauncher?
Is there anywhere I can get it? Because this launcher is buggy. My messaging is totally borked.

Subscribed I was looking for one that disables wallpaper scrolling to test live wallpaper performance.
Edit: Awesome stuff, apart from Microbes, no stuttering when swiping between homescreens with the new scrolling behaviour.
Using a 5x5 layout, marvelous use of that large screen.
Nice icon btw

Trying now.. :-D
From my fingers to your eyez

please add a scrollable "3-dock" mode like Go Launcher (and gestures if that's not too much work)
thanks!

Just used the update.zip and all is great

I have to agree! I'm running CM9 on my D3, and really, the only thing that could make the experience better is having a scrolling dock! Downloading now, and thank you for the hard work!

yeah, gestures are very important for me too.
swipe down pulls the statusbar down and swipe up locks the screen...

Installed and running fine, excellent replacement launcher!
Please add more scrolling effects like cascading, cross fading...
A novice question, is this launcher gpu accelerated? Or it's relying on the force gpu option?

Wow excellent launcher! Nice work and thanks!
Just wondering if you could add the option to have the persistent google search thingy... I kind of got used to it.
Also the ability to stick your folders into the app drawer would be nice as well.

Would it be possible to fit the market shortcut back into the app draw? maybe near the settings icon? I kinda liked that, and used it all the time.

Nice! I like where this is heading. I would love too see the ability to choose how many home screens to have, and the ability to create folders in the app drawer (10p sale has filled it right up!)

There's a problem with the icons, whatever I changed it wont register and it restored back to default every reboot. I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I've tested it few times already.

Some bugs
First of all thanks for this great mod, I think it has great potential.
After setting up my Homescreens I found some bugs.
1. If I disable wallpaper scrolling after some time the wallpaper isn´t anymore centered.
2. After a reboot, there are some widgets disappeared from the Homescreens. After readding the widgets, this happens again after a reboot.
3. One time happend (after switching from market back to homescreen) that the searchbar widget comes back on top of my homescreens and it overlaps it with my widgets.
If I find another bugs, I will report them again.
Thanks again and keep working on it!
Edit: The issue under 2 appears when u add the widgets the 'old way' by long-pressing on home screen. If u add them through the app drawer they are still there after a reboot.

I had this problem with ADW too, I'm using repacked ITL41F with stock kernel. So it doesn't appear to be unique to Nova Launcher

Great launcher but I've got a couple of suggestions:
Although everyone seemed to hate the search bar at the top I'd kinda got used to it and now miss it so an option to keep it there would be great.
How about having a homescreen Scroll effect the same as the one in the app drawer?
Other than that keep up the good work!

nice liking this

Agreed, miss my search bar

Excellent, I've been looking for something that would essentially just remove the search bar
However 2 things would be great
1) An option to set the number of home screens
2) For some reason I can't use Desktop Visualiser to replace the stock icons at the bottom. On the ICS launcher I can choose "Desktop VisulizR" to add a custom shortcut, small enough to replace Phone, Contacts etc. But for some reason this widget doesn't show in Nova launcher.
Great work, looking forward to full release.

[MOD] Galaxy S5 Expanded QuickSettings. 20+ Toggles! [DIY]

Hey XDA,
You know the buzz these days are for the Galaxy S5 themes right?
Have you tried the New flat Touchwiz theme from Galaxy S5 brought to you by Kik0o and DrKaOt? If not, Go check it out! It's awesome!
This MOD is the Perfect Addition to that theme to make it look Perfect and Complete!
Of course you can try this without the above theme as well. :fingers-crossed:
You know after theming your 4.3 Stock ROM with the S5 theme the expanded QuickSettings Panel looks like this right?
Ever wondered if this area had toggles to make the QuickSettings look more complete?

Well, the time has come my friend ​
Here's how you do it.
Backup your ROM in case if anything goes wrong.
Download & Install SQLite Editor from the attachments.
Open SQLite Editor and allow Root Permissions. (If for some reason you get the Error Code 14 message when trying to run SQLite Editor, you will need to download and install TB Restore Fixer from the Play Store)
After searching and having generated the list, scroll down and tap the "Settings Storage" file.
Tap the "settings.db" file.
Tap the "system" file.
Once in the system file, scroll down until you find "notification_panel_active_app_list", tap to highlight it. (It was #899 in my device). You'll have to tap the one right above it to get it to highlight. Also make sure it's the notification_panel_active_app_list, and NOT the notification_panel_default_active_app_list.
Once you have highlighted it, tap your phones menu button and tap on "Edit Record".
Navigate to "values".
At the end of the list add ;SmartPause;Brightness;SmartNetwork;
Remember to add Semicolon at the end.
Once you are done adding the names, Press Save.
Reboot your device.
Once booted up you should see the extra toggles you just added.
*The Smart Pause may not actually Pause any content but will take you to the Smart Stay function.
The list of toggles you can add.

Check whether you are still editing the "notification_panel_active_app_list". And remember to put a semicolon after the final word.
Compare what you have modified with the attached thumbnail.

Good day sir, thanks for this. I'm using NeatROM v7.5 and it has 21 Toggles, they added the "Flashlight", I flashed the S5 4.4 SystemUI by sir DrKaOt, my problem is I can't get the flashlight to become visible in my Quicksettings/Toggles. But when you go to settings/notification panel, it's in there. So in short, I only have 20 Toggles visible on the Notification Panel.

FiredTV Launcher - Replacement Home/Launcher

FiredTV Launcher is a 'replacement' for Amazon's Home/Launcher app which does not show sideloaded apps.
Visit the project page for more information (including source code): https://github.com/Redth/FiredTVLauncher
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How does it work?
While it's not possible (yet/without root) to actually replace the launcher app, FiredTV effectively does this by watching for Amazon's launcher being opened, and then immediately launches itself. Because of this, you will see Amazon's home screen flash on the screen very briefly after pressing the home button, before FiredTV Launcher appears.
Installation
You can install the app by grabbing the .APK directly from the releases page: https://github.com/Redth/FiredTVLauncher/releases
You will need to sideload the app. There are many guides available how to do this on the forums.
Once the app has been installed, go into your FireTV Settings, go into Applications, find 'FiredTV' in the list, select it, and select 'Launch Application'
Enjoy!
Where's the Java?
If you looked at the source, you may have noticed that there's no Java. That's because this was written entirely in C# using Xamarin! C# is awesome, go use Xamarin!
What's next?
Obviously this launcher is very simple, and there's not much to it. I'm planning on adding some Settings configuration within the app, so you can do things like hide apps, reorder them, hide labels, change colors, etc.

- Fixed Default Wallpaper not showing up in some instances
- Fixed Show/Hide for Amazon apps

- Home detection is disabled by default (to help App store approval)
- Fixed a bug where the settings might show Home Detection enabled when it's actually disabled

- Fixed bug with time display (was in 24 hours by default)
v.1.0.2
This version adds some new features. Please note a different keystore was used to sign this app, so you may have to uninstall v.1.0.1 first!
- Hide/Show apps are all configurable now
- Date / Time now on home screen
- Hiding Logo, Date, Time App Labels all now configurable
- App Label font size configurable

Great! How did you run it instead KFTV launcher?
Waiting hide apps, reorder... And please make the time display.
After clicking Settings crashes in KFTV launcher, so it should be?
Sorry for my English
Donated $ 10 I will write to my blog, who can still support

Thanks so much!
I am using a service to check the foreground activity and when it matches the Amazon fire TV launcher I open mine instead. Not the ideal solution but the only way so far to make it work!
I will work on those features first thing, thanks for the donation!!!

You can also add a killing Amazon application (KFTV launcher and etc) after starting FiredTV Launcher.

Impossible to kill another application without root

ES Task Manager can kill things perfectly fine, even without root.
although some apps, by design, will re-launch themselves automatically regardless (e.g. KFTV Launcher)

Unknown way to kill the activity, may try KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES.

We have root boys!

Its only a matter of time... Also I would like to request that there be an option to set the order in which icons appear.

It really doesn't make sense for me to kill the AFTV process since no matter what you do right now, when you press HOME on the remote, the AFTV process starts up. So, if after I launched FiredTV when AFTV starts up, I went and killed AFTV, it would actually be slower the next time you pressed the home button since Amazon would start up the whole process again. This of course is all just theory too (I have a feeling it might not be so easy to kill AFTV process).
So, for now, it really doesn't make sense to try and kill the process, so I'm not going to be doing that...

This is a feature I'm working on. It's a bit more complex so I didn't put it in 1.0.2 yet, but hopefully for the next version!

Going to need more info...
The new version is crashing? Is it crashing on startup? is it crashing when you go into settings? Your post was very unclear...

Yes, a failure in version 1.0.2. Crash when calling the settings FiredTV Launcher. Crashes in KFTV launcher.
First deleted the version 1.0.1, then installed 1.0.2

Can you get me the logcat output? I'm not going to be able to track this one down without this information...
Thanks

adb logcat

Thanks, unfortunately the logcat you attached doesn't have any info relating to FiredTV... Could you try and reproduce the crash and gather the logcat output as fast as possible directly after the crash?

This logcat just after crash.
Сrashes when clicking on the iconSetting in, if you press the menu button remote all is good.
And do not hide the icon Setting (Show/Hide Apps)

Ohh, I thought this was when you clicked Settings on the home screen, not in the hide apps setting. I've found the bug and it will be fixed in 1.0.3.
Thanks

Version 1.0.3 is out now!

LG Smart World Themes

I rooted and downloaded Smart World. So far I got keyboard themes and Fonts to work, but no luck with home themes. I was wondering if maybe someone else had better luck. I tried moving Smart World and theme apks to system where home app is but that didn't work.

The smart world APK doesn't work for non-rooted tmo g3...I followed the non-root method to get themes, but can't figure out how to get smart world or themes at all...

Go to lgworld.com.
Get LG Smartworld apk.
Install.
Get LauncherPro from the Play Store
Choose LG Home Launcher as default.
Add "activities" widget. (it comes with LauncherPro)
Click on widget. Scroll until you see "Home". Click. Choose the "LGHomeHiddenMenuActivity" option (it will say exactly what is in quotes at the end of the option description).
Scroll till you see "Feature_Use_Theme". Check that off. Also check off the options that have to do with themes surrounding it (should be about five or six options).
Click the "home" softkey. Phone may glitch a bit at first. But when you longpress the "menu" softkey, you will see an option that says "Themes".
You can delete the widget and uninstall LauncherPro at this point. The theme feature stays enabled. You don't need LauncherPro to make it work. You just need it to get to the hidden menu.
Go back to LG Smartworld.
Log in (or create an account).
Profit!!! Download all the themes your heart desires. Quite a few steps, but it DOES work on non rooted phones. It sure worked on mine before I rooted. Have a ball.
EDIT: PS, to apply themes, go to "Themes" (long press on menu softkey to get to it). You'll see all the themes you've downloaded. Choose the one you want and click on "apply". Bam.
One more note: some themes are available for LG Home in the Play Store, too. Just search for "LG Home themes". These aren't as nice as the ones in LG Smartworld, but that's just my opinion.
