[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] TheBadBen:
Do you have Stock Touchwiz installed in "system/app"? If so, I would recommend putting a non-stock launcher(launcherpro, ADW) in system/app, then renaming the Touchwiz launcher something else(you can just add a ".old" on the end, I've done that in the past). After that you should be able to install TW4.5 with TWManager. Try that and hopefully it will help.

It's not that unstable. I've had issues with ADW, LauncherPro, and stock TouchWiz. There are some bugs, but come on. This is experimental and we're testing something that has never been done! I'm pretty impressed with how well this works and how smoothly it runs. Try doing putting Sense on every device and not having any issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] robogo1982:
Massive thanks to the devs for this launcher, but I had to remove it.

Just drove me crazy with the jerkiness, lagging response and crashing

every single time

I changed some of the settings.

Any chance to get touchwiz to work 200 dpi instead of 240?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] friedi100:
Hy,

i have the same problem. Lags and freezing.

Is there any plan to fix this issue?

Using Blockbuster Rom 4.0. Installed 4 hours ago with lots of problems with TW4.5

Thanks Alex
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bassie1995:
You said that the themes should be updated, what and how are we supposed to do that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] webwude:
From my point of view, this is rather a general TW4 on I9000 issue... I had these symptoms with every TW4 release I tested...

Kind regards,

ww
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] vassagout:
it's exactly what happens to me. Random freezes and then reboot. I'm on darky 10.1 (i9000t). In fact I've tested another versions of tw4 with less features thinking the light could help but I've experienced the same issue. I think this could be a memory leak because the only way I can reproduce in all of tested tw4 is using the phone in a random way, trying to emulate a stress test and after trying and trying suddenly happens.

I don't like tw3, it was the first thing I replace on my SGS, but tw4 is beautiful, I hope Fr4gg0r can find a fix to help us to fully enjoy his great work.

best regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pauldiddy:
Yeah,think it is related on your darky rom.fraggor's launcher isn't to blame.have been running it on several roms (romkitchen,simply,ramad) and never had issues.also darky rom is known to be incompatible to certain apps and themes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] webwude:
See my system specs below (JVH deodexed) - i still experienced this sudden random freezes + reboot. I also couldn't narrow it down to a specific app - it seems, after a while, the memory is full or there is a leak.

I also tried another tw4 for JVH with the same result. It is very frustrating and definitely not the way how I use my phone.

I now use tw3 with SGS2 icons - no reboots or whatsoever. Very stable right now.

So it is something TW4 specific.

Hopefully it will work with some future release.

Kind regards,

ww
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Fr4gg0r:
what I can tell you is, that darky uses a modified libandroid_runtime.so.

Maybe it helps if you switch to a stock one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Siberian Tiger:
I am on Darky's 10.1

TW4 modified by Fr4gg0r(thank you)

THEME by Criskelo(very nice)

All working great!!!:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] webwude:
As I am not using darky and get the same unstable behaviour, I guess, it is something else...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Fr4gg0r:
I do not have freezes, so the only chance for you is to post stacktraces (logcat output).
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] webwude:
Maybe it is some sort of combination with my system specs (voodoo lagfix ext4 and certain apps) - it is difficult because after a reboot the logcat app just delivers the new logs fresh from start.

I will test around a bit with logging enabled and touchwiz4 installed. That's a good idea, i will start with it right away. Stay tuned ;)

Kind regards,

ww
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Fr4gg0r:
use adb and logcat (from terminal/shell - not from ddms) from android sdk.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] vassagout:
I'm on darky's 10.1 too but I've installed tw4 (Fr4gg0r) only. I'd experience freezes and reboots suddenly. Maybe Criskelo's theme replaces any files that do not live with tw4.

How much time have you using it without any problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] webwude:
I did it.

I attached my system log from 22:00 on - freeze was short after starting worms (22:48) - approx 2 minutes later came the reboot...

gladly i just opened a adb shell and redirected the log to a local file. Therefore all entries during the freeze should be available.

I hope this helps (btw. with tw3 I never experienced freezes with worms).

Kind regards,

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] webwude:
Hoenstly, i don't get the linked posting: do you say, that OpenGL and TW4 freeing up ram somewhat interfere each other?

Kind regards,

ww
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] fguy:
No when you launch the program demanding many RAM, the system releases RAM preempting inactive programs, including TW4

Program TW4 locks an output to the screen at attempt to preempt it from storage

You can try to delete from RAM program TW4 by means of any taskkiller (SystemPanel) is will lead to system hang and reboot
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] webwude:
Interesting, that TW3 doesn't seem to have such behaviour. Maybe because TW3 is recognized as system app - tw4 shows up as an non-system-app (at least on such apps as SystemPanel or in the usage statistics). Maybe this is an approach to prevent this issue?

Kind regards,

ww
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Fr4gg0r:
Yeah normally the launcher runs as part of the system process, but with my changes I had to remove that.

I'm still on cm7 and had the first crash of the launcher today, was an anr.

In cm7 you have the option to keep the launcher app in ram... when I had not checked that option, the launcher got killed sometimes because free ram was needed..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Stuart.upton666:
Hey guys, I'm from the Nexus one forum and wanted to know if it is possible to port the touchwiz launcher to cm7? I was playing with my dads sgs2 and really liked TW 4.0 and really really want it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Stu
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] oecus4869:

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] webwude:
An Anr?

So there is no fix or setting available avoiding this issue? If so, TW4 is not an option right now...

Kind regards,

ww
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Fr4gg0r:
ehm you can read or?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Corwin9S:
maybe because you are using custom roms ? or the galaxy 1? here on the galaxy s2 (with no custom rom, just rooted) its smooth, unlaggy, bugfree and pretty cool.

maybe some more options tous have, but nothing stoppable the use for me.

can anyone tell me how to install this on the sensation so that i can get the phone and contacts icon to be the tiles?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jaskiratsingh:
I think I found a big: use a theme and then drag an application from application list to home screen. Check the application icon. Now refresh the browser and see the application icon again. The icon reverts back to the original icon and not the themed icon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] folkg:
Bug to report:

If anyone can help me and tell me if I'm doing something wrong, that would also be great.

I have a theme that is just for a 4 icon dock, it has icons for messaging, phone, contacts and then the apps/home.

If I EVER restart my phone, none of the themed icons are applied initially as the phone is scanning the sdcard contents, meaning original icons for everything including the ugly blue icon for apps/home.

After the scanning is complete, the messaging, phone and contacts icons are replaced by the themed .pngs, but the ugly blue icon for apps/home is not replaced. I have those icons named properly as per the tutorial, and they show up on initial setting.

Further more, any time after this I try to "Restart and Save", the phone completely freezes. It seems that the app data is somehow getting corrupted, because the only way I can keep my theme after reboot is to restore the app data from Titanium Backup.

Does anyone else have this problem or a solution? Devs?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] LegoGabi:
Works with LG P500 ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bassie1995:
The first problem never occurred on my phone, as I never changed the Home/Apps icon.

The second problem is something I did experience, and it went away after a reinstall.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] folkg:
I've had this problem on 3 ROMs I've tried this on, so i would count that as re-installs. How did you re-install it?

In the past, I installed it by copying the launcher apk into system/apps/ and on this newest one, I used the manager to "update" it automatically.

How do you install it?

I think these problems must be related.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bassie1995:
I deinstalled it via Nitrality (for SGS!), then reflashed it via CWM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] folkg:
They don't have the CWM packages there anymore, but also, I always had the problem with the error 6 thing.

When it installed via CWM though, it just puts it in system/apps/ right?

This is killing me. Somehow, sometime the data gets corrupted and reverts whatever theme to use the default blue apps/home icons. I can restore the data through titanium, but this is a huge pain that I shouldn't have to do every time I turn on my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Fr4gg0r:
that behaviour is not data related. The themes are on the sdcard, btw.

It is somehow code related, but I can't explain how it occurs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] folkg:
I don't mean to say that the theme is getting corrupted in any way, I've been checking the files after it happens and they stay the same. But I do believe it is some setting or some data file that is causing the problem.

Every time it happens, it's like the launcher is crashing. I can usually only change the launcher settings once or twice before it locks up the system and forces a restart, and at that point it appears there is something wrong with the /data because a restore of it from titanium will at least restore the theming.

I have tried installing it standalone and with the super user support from the launcher, I am on Juwe 5.3 with semaphore. I do use keep in RAM. I'd love to help with anything else I can.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] folkg:
For example, the best way for me to change a theme without rebooting my phone is to change it, don't restart and save because that would freeze my phone, but instead use the application manager and just force stop it.

And still, any time the phone restarts the data will need to be restored from titanium to restore the theme fully.

I hope some of this can help. And again, I will answer anything else as best I can. Thanks for all of your effort on this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] folkg:
Actually, that last report wasn't entirely accurate. It did freeze once, it seems I just got lucky a few times in a row. Or actually, it seems to freeze less often in this manner.

It may actually have nothing to do with data restoration now that I understand it more, it might just need a clean stop of the process and restart (without freezing) to get the theme to reapply properly. The titanium just had this effect.

This still however doesn't solve the problem of the theme breaking on a phone restart. Also, sorry for spamming this thread tonight haha. I hope you can get to the bottom of this!

Thanks again for the good work on the program.

I was wondering if there is something I can do about this. I am on a rom right now and I used your TW Launcher, love it by the way great work, but when I set the wallpaper it looks like it is in low resolution. When I was on Gummy Charged Rom for the Charge it looked great. I was talking to the dev of my current rom and he said it is because the launcher is set at 16 bit for performance. Can this be changed on your launcher? Is there a setting for this that I can just set? I hope the pics below explain what I am talking about.

First pic is with Gummy Charged stock launcher and the next one is with this launcher. Look at the detail on the wood of the bridge. Hopes this explains what I am talking about as far as resolution of the wallpaper photo.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] araemo:
I have an odd issue.

I hadn't yet read that a recent gmail update fubar'd the gmail badges, so I was trying to troubleshoot it. In doing so, I added a gmail shortcut to one of my homescreens (Just add->shortcut->app->gmail).

The problem is, I don't really want it there, but if I try and move it.. I can press-and-hold on it as normal, but as soon as it registers I want to move it, the phone locks up, and reboots a moment later. I can move other icons/apps/shortcuts on my home screen, it's only the gmail icon I get a crash from.

This is the latest tw4.5 installed via tw4manager on a samsung infuse 4g running Infused 2.0.1

If I end up wanting to revert to stock twlauncher, is it as simple as switching to another launcher, clearing twlauncher's data/end tasking it, and replacing the twlauncher.apk in /system/app with the stock one (using root explorer/adb/etc), and then switching back to twlauncher?

I'm going to give the OP a report of my experience for bug-fixing/ Troubleshooting's Sake.

I'm on Samsung's Epic4G SPH-D700 2.2 Froyo. Root+BusyBox

The Default Installation through TWManager worked Just fine, all I did to get off my TWLauncher 3.0, was clear the defaults, and Select 'Launcher' without TouchWiz.

I did however have 0 success in getting the 4.0 Widgets to Load. So for now I simply opened TWManager, and get my SGS1 Widgets Back and they work fine.

I also gave Themes a shot and installed Purify, as well as enable Badgers Counters, App BackDrops, and App 3D. As soon as I hit Apply; it kept force-closing TW4.5 until I pulled my Battery Out. (No worries, I have Journaling on) I have like 1 minute to change the preferences real quick back to what they were before I mesed with them and the theme et back to none and it works just fine now. Anyway, I hope this helps someone, and if someone has already been through this with a resolution to anything I've said, I'd love to hear it.

P.S. I installed the latest Stable Version of 4.5, not the Beta.

To report on the bug I mentioned a few pages back with the theme not staying on every new boot (the blue apps/home icon staying instead of modded), I have found a workaround sort of where it just needs a clean restart (as long as it doesn't freeze, maybe a separate bug?). I just use a tasker profile to kill the app on every startup, forcing the theme to load properly.

Hopefully this can help in solving the bug somehow.
