[MOD] Modified & LagFixed TouchWiz Launcher

As you know, in galaxy s when we install 4-5 page programs , lags is appear
The touchwiz launcher is lagy too and when we Turn pages the lags is apear
I decompile touchwiz.apk and i explore folders and in res folder i saw few folders that named xxxx-xxxx-1024x600 and i guess this names means 1024x600 pixel like galaxy tab and samsung create a touchwiz that could be use in galaxy s and galaxy tab!
I decided to deleted that folders had a 1024x600 in the last of name and i compile apk and push it to galaxy and i see that is work lagless and very fast and smooth
I made an update.zip of this modified touchwiz and upload in attachment
Guys you can test it and leave Comments on this topic
I forget something
I change the homescreen_menu_shortcut_bg.png with glass one and you can see in pic

What firmware versions does this work on?
Does it overwrite the default TouchWiz?
Is it compatible with any Lagfixes?

this launcher is last version of touchwiz that used in jpm/jp6 roms and must work on any version of roms
yes , this launcher is compatible with any lagfixes

I am sorry, what has been changed from default?
Lowered the resolution or something?

i think you should work with the guy that did the TW mod script:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792817
together you can hack tw and make it work better

Just flashed it via CWM on Voodoo-Doctor-Edition-JP6 and seems to be lagless flipping between pages. G8 job!

Amazing!!!!!!!!
It works!!!!!! Great Work!!!! This launcher is more fast, even using various widgets and an animated desktop. Thanks!!!!

No, based on what he wrote, he deleted icons and textures for use on Galaxy Tab. I wonder if it really does make it faster, though.

No effect here. Still laggy as hell.
EDIT: maybe it's because I'm using a lagfix? I have 5 pages of apps. Not that much if you ask me :S

Can you guys still uninstall apps from the drawer?
Last time I replaced TWlauncher I had lost this ability.

interesting.....

I recommend editing the LauncherConfig.java class to enable the fly in effect when opening the app menu, pretty nice.

My attachement contains a classes.dex which has the ability to uninstall (non system) apps from homescreen + fly in effect.
Remove .apk and .odex first, then push this to system. I always switch to an other launcher before doing that..
@Spike_M
When I delete all folders with 1024*600 in the name, apktool gives some errors..

On reboot touchwiz doesn't load - it gives me a fc error: The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly.
How do I go back to the original touchwiz?

Do you have adb enabled? Otherwise you have a problem..

I have adb installed, but my pc won't detect the phone when plugged in via usb.
It seems like the only solution is to flash another update.zip via recovery. An update.zip of the original touchwiz should work, if someone would be kind enough to put one together. I wouldn't know where to start...
Edit: or is there a way to install an apk via the recovery menu? Long shot, I know. I was thinking installing LauncherPro would bypass the fubar'd tw.

i use modified launcher and its work like a charm
for those guys want to get back original touchwiz
1- download update.zip in attachment and copy it to your internal memory
2- instal it from recovery 2e or cwm recovery

Thanks but I can't access the internal memory of my phone. Now what?

Tw launcher is definately faster now. Try pinch to zoom and see! It even made me consider reverting from launcher pro.. Great fix, thanks!

its not 100% perfect but youre as close as ive ever seen anyone come so far!
damn nice fix!

I think I noticed an small improvement with that fix: 55apps installed (6 pages in app drawer), but there is still some lag...
By the way I'm really glad that there is people trying to improve the performance of TW. I really like TW but the app drawer is laggy I'm still using froyo stock launcher...

problem after port

hi all
i ported X-STRONGER 6.0 to our device
after the port i had 2 problems
1-i cant connect my phone to pc
2-camera is not working
after some works i solved the problem with the usb
but i need help with fixing the camera

Have you tried replacing the gallery2/4 app?

ok i have tested everything in the rom and there are 3 unfixed problems in it now
1-in lockscreen has a little problem(the camera button is a little down)
2-themes are not working(i dont know but they are not working on some other roms for me. maybe its my problem)
3-camera not working
i really need your helps and suggestion
im sure everyone will like this rom because its very fast. i had stable 250-80mg free ram with lupus 480p and 230+ free ram with lupus 720p(and it has many futures)
im doing all i can for this rom

gallery?
i will try it now

there were no gallery.apk or gallery2.apk but there was semcgallery3d.apk on both base and port
i replaced it but nothing happened

i fixed the problem of lockscreen
it was a problem with the main rom
he changed the lockscreen app to make a new style but it made that problem
so i changed it with aeonworld lockscreen app and its working correct now
im working on theme manager bug now for 90% i will solve it soon
update:the problem of themes are solved now. so only 1 more bug. the camera
i have a Little problem
there is and app in this rom named 3d album in this rom
but i cant find it in system/app
hoow can i remove that?

You can use catlog app to find source of errors with the camera. I'm assuming that you have checked the permission files in your base Rom to match the ones from the port.

well maybe the problem is with the permission
what i have to do exactly?

Check in system/etc/permission
Look for any that you might have missed...
Also check in system/lib/hw
Make sure you have a file in there
camera.semc.so

there is no camera.semc.so in both port and base
and no missed permission
i found that there is a folder in system/usr named semc in the rom im going to port but we dont have that on stock rom(and there is a folder named camera in that folder and there are some .dat files in it)

Try using those for the camera.

Some apps r hidden in /system/customization/applications I think, most OEM's put some apps here... Also if running windows do a simple index search for "camera" in most folders or system folder to find it
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

i dont why but in windows 8 that thing is not working
and i used that files but they didnt help too

Did you try to install/replace camera.apk from another (stock gb) play rom?

im trying it now
i tough i have have done that before but i 90% i haven't now
sorry for my bad english

wow it worked
tnx to everyone that helped me here(i will give a credit every one on this thread)
the only things that i need to change is that to delete that apps then the rom is ready
im doing the final tests and i will release it as soon as possible

Any luck on getting launcher and apps widgets to work on other devices?

[Q] Anyone able to successfully pull Dashclock from Slimkat Weekly 2.5 RC1?

I have tried pulling the APK out of the rom zip and installing it, but the installation fails. I have also tried manually putting the apk in my apps folder, also does not work.
Any suggestions? I love the extension separator option and different colors for the background... but I prefer to use Danvd's 4.4.2 GE build.

"Well slims version is a mix from original dashclock + the one which was posted here by syned + our additions lol. Whatever it is not installable due that we have trds and it will only work on ROMs which support that. The hell I did not have time till now to push our changes to Roman. Will try to do it finally next week so roman can decide what he want or not. We tried to keep his style in "our" dashclock."

[REQUEST] AOSP apps package Android L

I've been using the Android L port and I'm loving it. The only problem is that I hate all the official google apps. Plus the ROM only comes with Google photos. I really want to put something together once the ROM is more stable (although it really is good right now) that includes aosp style apps.
Does anyone know where I can get the apps? Can I just pull them from a custom ROM? Or can someone put together a zip that has a few aosp apps? I'm mainly thinking browser, gallery and a file manager, but suggestions are welcome.
EDIT: I was able to pull the apks out of another ROM, I chose the latest (7-20 at time of writing this) CM11 and put the files where they should be /system/app and I changed the permissions to match other files in the same location. Then I rebooted to recovery and wiped both caches. File manager (CM File Manager) and gallery worked fine, I can't figure out browser though. I found an app on the play store that was an AOSP Browser installer and tried that too, but browser keeps crashing on launch. So if anybody knows how to make AOSP browser install please enlighten me.
Thank you.
