Heya,

I've been using ARHD 5.2.3 with the all-in-one sense3 plugin. I backed up all my SMS with the menu>backup button in the sms app. The new sms app is different though and there's no backup and restore?! How can I restore? The backup is saved to the SD card.

Any ideas?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agoattamer:
Pull the MMS.apk from the 3.0 ROM/mod. Overwrite the one in your system/app/ folder. It will give you the backup/restore sms function back. If your new ROM is not a sense ROM this may not work.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tamen:
Of course!

Done :) It told me 'restoring' for about 20 mins so I just pressed back and they were all there :S Must be a bit glitchy on a sense 3 base, but got everything back then put the new sms app back.

So, the title describes the problem. I installed miui and my imei didn't show up. I couldn't connect to the carrier. Then I found an update.zip and flashed it. Now I could connect to the carrier, but it changed my imei. I tried flashing cyanogen but it didn't change the IMEI to the original. The update.zip I flashed was just a build.prop so I hope you can help me to solve this issue. A nandroid backup of the stock rom would be helpful too.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] petsasj:
Hello there,

This is a modification of the latest TouchWiz4 Launcher made by me. This post is going to be updated whenever a new version of firmware goes out.

I do already know that TouchWiz 4.5 exists by fr4gg0r, which is far more customizable, but I have followed a different interpretation to this. This is

not

based on work done by fr4gg0r.

DPI Version of the Euro launcher can be found in the 2nd post.

TouchWiz from 4G version can be found in the 3rd post.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTSIONS IN 4TH POST.

​

Features

5 icon dock

5 column app drawer

Smaller fonts in icon dock so they don't get hidden

Better spacing of icons in homescreen

Better spacing on the badges

5 column on the homescreen (separate version)

Resize on all widgets

Change default Homescreen (3 versions available)

New super easy way to resize widgets via script

[*]160/192/216 DPI support (V3) - 3rd post

SOON TO COME

Application to control features

What are the advantages?

Uses the same id key as the original Samsung stock launcher, so all widgets work at once, without having the need to resign with different id

As a flash-o-holic, I will be providing this for the latest version of TW4.

Different DPI versions available for those who change dpi

Layout changes for better productivity and space.

5 column support on the homescreen adds the ability to use more homescreen space, without needing to edit TouchWiz widgets separately that are having trouble resizing

4 Columns, 5 icon dock, 5 app colum appdrawer menu (v1)

​

Download versions 1

V1 download links

5 Columns Homescreen, 5 icon dock, 5 app column appdrawer menu (v2)

​

Information on the 4x5 version

There are a few small issues that cannot get ironed out in this version of the launcher:

There is a 5th row as well (due to limitations), avoid using that space as you'll end up placing icons on top of the dock icons.

For 4 column widgets use the method described below to resize them into 5 columns

The CWM zip contains the PostIt widget, as that was not getting resized correctly due to Samsung's wrong coding.

#NEW#

Instructions on how to resize widget to 5 columns:

1) Add your your widgets to your homescreen.
2) Download Script Manager
3) Open it and navigate to /sdcard/gscript
4) Run launcher.sh [B]AS ROOT[/B]
5) DONE!

Information on the DPI versions

As expected with all launchers at a different dpi setting, there are issues resizing widgets. Here's a list of widgets that don't work, or work with specific modification

Samsung Widgets look funny, you must find the right size for them to work (usually 4 columns)

Calendar widget NOT available atm - it's a priority to get this fixed

All non-samsung widgets work with the following way

How to use

In the app drawer, hit edit, and add one more icon dock at the bottom of the page.

Rearrange your app drawer icons in a 5 column Layout OR use the modified Appzorter app from the fourth post.

Solutions to Force Close problems

Hit Menu>Applications>Manage Applications>All>TouchWiz Launcher
Force close and clear data

How to use Appzorter

The creator of the application Appzorter has kindly given me permission to modify his app for the Launcher's needs

Appzorter comes with the launcher, if you don't like it simply uninstall it

1) Hit the Appzorter Icon
2) Select Sort
3) Go into Settings>Menu>All>Touchwiz Launcher>Force Close

The application itself is undergoing a lot of work. He is adding a lot of new features. Please do consider buying his donate version. It's only 0.96 euros on the market, and I'm pretty sure most of you could spare that.

Many many thanks to Demiurgous/demidoes.net for his kind support.

Instructions if things go wrong:

Extract apk from .zip
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
rm TouchWiz30Launcher.odex
hit Control + C
adb push path to your download\TouchWiz30Launcher.apk /system/app
adb reboot

Landscape mode requests

I am able to make the launcher redraw in landscape mode without losing sign keys. However the icon dock does not stay on the right of the phone, but goes in the bottom. The launcher is not optimized for landscape mode at all. Perhaps i'll be able to get this done in the long run.

NOTE

The European launcher and the 4G Launcher are not hot-swappable. That means that when using the 4G Launcher, you cannot revert back to the European Launcher (or vice verca) by flashing the zip.

You need to WIPE data under Settings>Menu>Manage Applications. Install the other version of the launcher, then wipe data AGAIN.

Failing to do so will cause FC's when trying to add a 5 icon dock.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Mekrel:
Thanks a lot for this, I was going to do this myself with the TouchWiz launcher from the 4G model posted here a week or so ago.

I did see the XML documents that I needed to edit, but I was waiting to find out how to make the "Applications/Home" button become central in the dock.

Any idea if you can implement that? I'm bored, I'll probably pull the apk and decompile it and have a look tonight.

Good work :) I much prefer this as keeping the signature the same is so much easier without having to re-install widgets. I odex my applications and re-odexing all the widgets again is a pain in the bottom.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] petsasj:
I could do that, probably not tonight though, as I'm releasing a rom as well ^_^. However the main disadvantage of not using the Epic 4g TW is that we lose the long press menu as search functionality, which i like.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Testraindrop:
Hey looking good, could you do it for the new Epic 4G launcher also, some say its better...

And I also like the 3D animations in the App drawer of TW 4.5, is it possible to do it with your mod?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nitroz:
Very good work mate. Keep it up I'm using this as we speak or I type :p
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] petsasj:
As you guys see, i've already added Touchwiz 4g on the soon to be list.

Concerning the 3d effect, i'm sorry this is not possible with my mod. And i'd like to keep this as stock as possible.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
great idea. i read on here also that someone will be basing a new 4.5 launcher off of the Epic 4G Touch launcher so there's gonna be lots of options.

so if i'm understanding correctly, this is based off of the Euro i9100 TW launcher?

def a good idea to go with the Epic 4G Touch launcher. if you need any help, feel free to ask ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] petsasj:
I'm actually going to do both.'

I believe it is, but make a backup of your current launcher just in case.

Can I just ask was it just xml edits or did you have to edit the smali code aswell? Trying to learn how to make changes myself. But I can't see where you made the changes.

Xml changes are easy to find but when it comes to smali code it does not make any sence. Can you give me any guidance?

I also compared your version to zohawkish to see what changes was made (I hope you don't mind) but there was loads of changes. Inc smali code. Just wanted to see the differences.

Any tips much appreciated.

SGS 1 has still touchwiz 3.

But i see this has Digital Clock and Accuweather widget. We'll just have to wait for a system dump to find out. Keep your hopes high!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] karlesg:
accuweather and digital clock... this is certainly looking good...

and pretty nice proportions in landscape also. Notice the little "gap" there is between dock and icons in landscape. That's what I told you that you must leave some unused space to make proportions a little better if you want to.

So they had to put a physical keyboard in order to understand that landscape IS useful???

Oh samsung, please spare me...

Anyway, better late than never :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] petsasj:
Let's just wait and see. But from what I'm seeing, the dock icons do have a little background behind them, which is a TW3 "feature".

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] theXeffect:
is there a way to remove the dot on the launcher?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] petsasj:
Status 0 is a problem with CWM Recovery. /system won't get mounted properly sometimes. And you were stuck in bootanimation because you didn't have another launcher installed. Read the 3rd post if things go wrong.

@theXeffect

I could remove them, but i won't. Dots have many funtionalitied - from skipping to one screen to the other to the cool drag bar effect. So no, i won't remove them.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] theXeffect:
Can u show me how if u don't mind .....
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] theXeffect:
Its just an idea but would there be any chance u can use the home button...( somebody else in the form on the way) ....to launch app draw n remove the icon on the launcher....so it would be kinda be like an iPhone function ...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] petsasj:
That probably includes smali code (or perhaps you could make all dots transparent just so they don't show), and i dont know how off the top of my head.

And i don't get what you mean by your second post. If you remove the home button function, which essentially returns you to your default home page, and just add app drawer binding to that, how would you return to your home page - say - when the back key doesn't work when an application is not working(for example)?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] theXeffect:
O..I'm justly saying make it more like the iPhone function ....by holding on to the home button to get back home or some thing ..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] petsasj:
That would need far more customization - not just the launcher itself. Long press home is bind for Recent Applications popup window. And the iphone doesn't really have an app drawer to begin with. It just has one home button that returns you, well, to your home page. What special feature of the iPhone you want "cloned"?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] theXeffect:
It would be cool to launch the app drawer from the home bottom.....but is justs an idea ....I'm not a developer so I can't do anything ...but share my idea....hope to c more update :) thank you! !!

multidpi support

petrasj,

i just flashed hyperdroid rom with docs surgeon.

the point is i hate launcherpro and love the twlauncher

so i decided to put yours(which is awesome!), but it got out pretty nasty..

i assume of course it's because of docs dpi set to 192..

can you make a version that supports multidpi?? or at least 192?

there an attached pic of the nasty result..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] p25o1:
hi petsasj,

i'm using HyperDroid-Androidmeda with your Surgeon , and i like the overall package.

one question if possible plz

is there a way to remove the application text labels?

i feel it will give the desktop a cleaner look ;-)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] petsasj:
I cannot support multi-dpi probably, but I have said i'll look into 192.

That would mean i should make another version of the launcher, plus the 6 I am already making, and that would make 9 in total.

I'm not too sure i can handle as many versions.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] petsasj:
You are very welcome to use this in your theme. Glad you like it.

I am close to finding a very easy solution on risizing widgets on the 2.1 version, if that interests you.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] esk02k:
Yea that is good news. I tried out the other version earlier and managed to get most of the widgets to be 4 across but some Samsung widgets were not lining up (active apps, weather, buddies etc.) so I went back to the 5 icon dock and app drawer. I look forward to the new version if you find a solution. Samsung's implementation of the widgets isn't the easiest to work with is it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] petsasj:
It certainly is not easy to work with the widgets, very bad coding there, really.

I will be using a small script to resize all 4 column widgets into 5 column, and restart TWlauncher all at once. People are going to need gscript or rootexplorer to navigate and run it, but i guess that's much easier than downloading a SQL Editor.

Dear developer, I'm using your modified launcher with the Omega rom and it's just amazing. Thank you for all the hard work and for sharing it. I can now bear with Touchwiz where previously I wouldn't get poke it with a long stick! :p

Just wondering if you can tweak it so as to allow replacing of the dock icons with my own? Either by dropping them or having support for Desktop Visualiser shortcuts. I doubt if it is, but can't resist asking anyway. Another thing I would love to see is the normal way of adding widgets and shortcuts like for other launchers, without so much scrolling at the bottom, or with support for AppWidgetPicker.Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] petsasj:
If you into the app drawer, hit edit, you are able to move stuff in and out of the icon dock.

As for the appwidgetpicker, i'm afraid it's not possible.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lynx2k50:
Hey mate.

i want to give some feedback on your mod.

Been using the KJ1 version since the last days on my own rom.

I have to say its really great and i will use it now any time. The smaller front gives me a "high resolution" effect. Also i'm liking to have now 5 icons at the app drawer.

THANK YOU!

Btw. If your are really want to look into making TW multiDPI useable, it would be great. But than please also make the dailer and calculator multiDPI 'cause the also stuck at the standard DPIresolution.

Have a great weekend. And sorry for my mistakes.
