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...
I'm running stock 4.1.1, it's odexed and rooted.
I'm wanting to change my DPI to 200 maybe, but it seems I need a deodexed ROM to do that. I really can't be bothered reflashing and I don't have enough data to download a new rom anyway.
So is there any way to change it?
Check in my signature.
You can set any dpi with that guide.
Just you need to use a custom keyboard.
this is XXXDDDAAA
Your sig is actually what made me want to do it. The guide confused me though. What modules do I need to use and where from? And I have to download like 10 modified apps don't I?
If you want 240dpi then you have to download the modified keyboard and I recommend launcher as well.
If not 240dpi then you have to use a custom keyboard and again I recommend launcher as well. You have to disable the stock ones.
Now some apps don't work nice on a specific dpi. You have to use xposed app settings and make them run in 320dpi.
You have to download xposed framework and download the 3 modules listed in the guide.

Could anybody please port this app to MDPI for our Gio, please. I tried changing the sensitivity of my Gio (CM 10.1 Android 4.2.2) But it gives me bootloop. I would really like to have this Theme.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thomassafca.theme.touchwiz&feature=search_result
Thanks in advance
That's easy
1.make a nandroid backup first
2.open any root browser on your phone(such as root explorer,oi file manager etc)
3.navigate to /system/build.prop
4.edit build.prop with any text editor
5.find "qemu.sf.lcd_density=160"
6.change its value from 160 to 140
7.reboot and apply any HDPI/XHDPI theme
8.Done! your theme is applied
If it changes density from build.prop on cm10 gives bootloop
but you can try to install this, just move to system/app and set perm
RW-R-R
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049735&highlight=theme+chooser
No matter, I just tried it without changing density or anything (with apex launcher) and it works
how can i customizable the Softkeys (root available) i want smaller and transparent Softkeys
xposed can this, but its not workable in the moment... so i seach a alternate method
any idea?
+1, would love this. Changing the DPI of the whole system doesn't really provide the right results as things like the camera are then borked.
with Stock, the only one chance to change DPI without issue is with xposed but we have to wait, hopefully we get it workable. Or we get a fully working CM12.1 or AOSP or any of the both based.
so i hope we have a other way to customize Softkeys and other for the current situation
This flashable theme has a setting to enable 36 dpi navbar at least (you can change this setting independently of the other theme settings via Aroma installer).
if you have root available modify your build.prop and swiftkey will work normally.
Also don't forget to do this
"adb shell wm density reset"
if you have modified your dpi without root with adb before
edit
I'm sorry I must have misread Softkeys with Swiftkey...but anyway, i use 540 dpi and everything works fine
It's in the framework.apk , i'll check it out when i have the time . Easy thing to modify
The build prop lists soft keys color, but it is on hex and I dont know about it. Maybe someone could have a look.

I will add soon the option to change the navbar height to 24, 30, 36 and 42dp (stock) and the navbar icon size even for stock theme. If someone to learn how to do it the navbar size is set by framework-res.apk/res/values/dimens.xml line 21 and 22.

The navbar icons are vectordrawables. Details and codes for the icons here.
