SGS II widgets?

Hey all,

I'm running TW4.5 on my Samsung Infuse 4G.

I installed it through the TW 4 Manager apk.

I don't see any SGS2 Widgets on there...

where are they???
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] 24BlackMamba:
the widgets are in TW4 Manager under "widgets" lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] derik.p:
okay so im not sure if this has been said as this thread is huge.. and i do love this port. only thing id like to see is it working properly on multiple dpi's. i like my infuse 4g on 200 or 190 dpi, but it makes twlauncher weird. For example it makes everything go more to the left of the screen and the icons and widgets wont stretch across the whole screen. It also seems to move everything upwards a row it seems like.

Which firmware are you using? I can confirm that the Bell I9000M using KG3 (2.3.3 Gingerbread) with TW Launcher 4.5 works fine. That is on my fiance's phone. On mine using JVR (2.3.4) it is also working.

It's been said before: The apps have the same process name, and that's what you use to make the launcher paste an icon onto an app.

Also, Fr4gg0r, should the app drawer icons only be 128x128 px?

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] M4rkzorz:
Big problem

so, here's my story.

Today I just got a galaxy s2 branded on TIM (Italian carrier)

the stupid carrier has themed the touchwiz 4.0 launcher making icons look hideous.

Anyway, I tried installing this and because I'm not rooted (I'd rather not root it right now) it will not replace the "original" touchwiz launcher wiz touchwiz 4.5, the reason is because both "apps" are called TwLauncher.

Would it be possible if you can rename the actual app to Twlauncher45 or something so it doesn't actually attempt to replace the horrid launcher I've got as stock.

The reason I want this is because, unlike lots of people I love the look and feel of the touchwiz interface and I think it works admirably.

Thank you in advance,

Mark.

samsung program monitor widget doesn't work for me.the one provided by the tw4 manager is downloaded but isn't shown in the widget's list.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Arhtard:
failed installation.

i have a rooted samsung gravity smart sgh-t589 with touchwiz 3.0

stock rom, stock kernel, stock recovery, rom is odex still, 2.2.2 froyo

i renamed the stock tw launcher apk and odex to .bak and installed

this awesome looking launcher only to get multiple force closes on a blank screen.

i used root explorer and mounted system and pasted this 4.5 apk in /system/app/ and made sure to set permissions for it. rebooted. and disappointment.

i deleted the 4.5 tw apk and returned the stock apk and odex names and rebooted.

didn't have stock launcher working anymore, so i did a factory reset and now i have stock launcher again. i use adw ex primarily, just saying.

i'd really like to get this 4.5 tw launcher working.

do any of you have any tips or suggestions for me to try?

thanks in advance

oh i also tried to just install it as a normal apk, it acts like it installs and then completes with "application not installed" message.

tried this method both with the stock launcher intact and with it renamed to .bak
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Shinydude100:
You need Busybox, not just root. Then install with TW4.5
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Arhtard:
ok thanks

i'm interpreting that as push tw4 to /system/app/ with busybox then reboot?

something like this?

busybox mv /sdcard/tw4 /system/app/

After weeks of happy use last night it started to fc after instaling sgs1 widgets from TWManager so sad
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Shinydude100:
What I'm not quite catching here is why you aren't simply trying the TW4 Manager after you install Busybox? You don't need to download another launcher if that's what you're trying to avoid. Just force-stop TW3, clear defaults, press home, select Launcher instead of TwLauncher, and you'll be off Touchwiz so TW4Manager can do what you're attempting to do manually. It even backs up TW3 like you said you did.

Thanks Fr4gg0r, loved your first TW Mod and love this new one even more, great work.

Just having the one problem trying to change the dock icon for handcent sms, to the sgs2 messaging icon.

Am I right in assuming all I have to do is rename the icon to dock_handcent.nextsms-2.png if the apk name is com.handcent.nextsms-2.apk zip the file then use the theme tools to install it ?

Have tried most everything but can't get the dock icon to change :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] stefanjadex:
I tested the launcher some time ago, but because of some bugs, I uninstalled it. I don't remember what version it was, so I would like to ask you to show also the released dates for the different versions. I will be able to see what was changed, because I'd like to test it again.

Anyway, hat off for your hard work and for the good results!

use them with tw3manager. but before update it and take the last version of.

Or search some posts before many of us have posted links to the s2 widgets.

@wkh1113

(http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17137815&postcount=1708)

how do you try to remove? here it's ok on my sg2, but for some app which have more access granted (for example admin of the phone for locking apps), you have to remove those privileges before.

@JaGuR

(http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17246831&postcount=1732)

you have to use the name of the app, not the name of the package. to easy find this name, go in the market with your PC and see the text after id=.

Handcent sms market's url is :

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.handcent.nextsms

so the name of the icon (for dock) have to be : dock_com.handcent.nextsms.png

----------------------

Some other considerations :

a. I've installed it without busybox. Simply root the phone, use rootexplorer, rename the old tw launcher, put this in place. reboot

b. I also agree with the release number shown somewhere in the options...

c. also ever ever great launcher ! It have to be a little bit more tweaked, but it works fine... at least it's what we asking for !
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] joelteixeira:
Nice tip about renaming the file, right now I'm using Cognition and I'm finding myself unable to use themes cause it recognizes both "contacts" and "phone" as contacts.

If you have any advice how could I fix this, would be very welcome.

Here's some screenshots showing how it shows on my phone (with and without themes).
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Corwin9S:
Hi.

For now it is not possible to make any difference for this 2 icon, as the app is the same (named). Tip? Use another dialer or contact manager and you will have different icons ;-)

Thanks for leting me know, I'm happy with stock dialer and contacts so I won't mess with this kind of stuff. The oportunity to have 5 icons (without label) it's already fine to me.

Love this launcher, however, I'm having problems.

I'm using it on a NS4G with MiUi. When I 1st start using TouchWiz it's perfectly stable.

I can use any of the features, "restart and save" from the preferences for example.

Once I'm fully set up I start getting crashes that require a battery pull.

I've loaded all widgets and shortcuts the homescreens individually as well as making individual changes to the settings testing "restart and save" since thats consistently an issue without being able to narrow down the issue.

I've installed the APK, installed from TouchWiz Manager, tried fixing permissions. Still I get the crashes.

I love the TW4.5/MiUi combo. Any ideas? Please!

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] commenter:
Hi Fr4gg0r,

I followed your "recommended" installation option on my Galaxy Tab 7" (GT-P1000 - on Overcome Kratos)...

"recommended (requires root+busybox): download TW4Manager, there select update, which will install the launcher to /system/app/! [you can also update the launcher here!]" <--- link is missing.

...and it removed my default Samsung Home Launcher! I guess I should have known, but it would have been nice to have some warning of this, as I would have chosen the alternative method of install If i had known that it would blow away all my homescreens. :(

Is there some way to recover my default Samsung Launcher (and setup) without going thru the tedious process of reflashing, reconfiguring and reinstalling all my apps?

Can't seem to find any information for uninstallation/removal of your app/launcher anywhere...

Are there instructions for reversal of this process somewhere, or can it not be removed (and my stock Launcher restored) at this point?

This sort of thing (and appropriate warnings) should be really be clearly defined in your install instructions, to avoid any confusion or mishaps.

Also, can you describe what the additonal posted files are, and what they might be needed for? (in the OP).

And can you define what overshoot does?

TW Launcher doesn't seem to scale properly on my GT-P1000 either, is there some way to correct/adjust the size of homescreens and application pages for full screen? (I'm already running full-screen/compatibility hack).

Btw, is anyone else running this on their GT-P1000? And if so, are you happy with it? Any issues, or suggested tweaks/config settings?

Also considering installing this on a Nexus S for a friend. Any recommendations or warnings? Would this blow away their default lancher as well (if using "recommended" installation *or* alternate method)?

Some sort of backup option would help perhaps?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] aeromac18:
I also have a problem with crashes that require battery pulling all the time, and i don't think this launcher is stable enough if i'm pulling the battery all day, so i'll be checking back all the time, and hey, its great one think is the save and restart doesn't work its anytime the launcher tries to quit it crashes. :/ but err. yea, I'm running Samsung JVP 2.3.4 on an i9000 Galaxy S
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Mello^:
I did everything you posted in your post except that when I go to recovery mode, there's no advance options so I can't access the fix permissions.

Can you help me ? TT
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jack3643:

You'll need a kernel that runs the CWM. The standard recovery in android doesn't have the options that clock work does.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jack3643:
I'm also having problems with crashes and boot loops.

Installed the manager, it downloaded and installed tw4.5, but when I went to home screen, it was just black. Then it'd reboot on it's own, and keep doing it every time it got to loading touchwiz. Ended up re-flashing rom in recovery to stop it.

Tried on galaxians kernel and semaphores. On stock deodexed jvr and tweaky's jvr magic. Don't know if I'm Robinson Crusoe or not. :D

Used tw4.5 before and loved it. Seems a little unstable on latest roms, or kernels, or something....

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Corwin9S:
Hya everybody.

I've just made a little webpage which can be useful.

It list the names of (some added) applications and put the application's name which has to be used for pictures. Copy the "nomination".

remember, add "dock_" before to have it on the dock side.

It list only some applications (not all, of course !).

You also can add directly on the page (press the + button befor "Application") applications with package's names. But wait I'll get the mail and check it before validating.

Thanks in advance if you "play the game" and add some which are not listed. It's not the idea to copy the market, just to have to possibility to quickly find the names needed for icons.

url : http://www.i9100galaxys2.com/android/names/

nb: page design and infos will be upgraded as soon as I will have time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] JaGuR:
I had to copy the files from the theme folder in the current theme folder, directly into the current theme directory to get the icons too change for some reason.

Have also noticed that when rotating the screen the landscape doesn't align properly, or resize itself, hopefully this can be fixed, as I have had to turn off landscape all together
