[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
I realize most questions regarding hboot are usually to unlock it, but I am the curious type [and already have mine unlocked]. I was under the impression that hboots have unique version numbers... Some of you already know where I am going now. The HTC Desire also has hboot 1.06. The two hboots [from what I have read and know already] are not really the same. So umm what is going on there?

Secondly, I've read of Chinese development [possibly] having an engineering bootloader for the Wildfire S. Do they? Could we maybe procure it or a link to it? I am really thinking it may not work with marvelc, but I would love to take a gander at it.

Third, I undetsand a wee bit about linux toolchains and bootloaders [from building LFS], who would be the hboot guru for android I would need to seek some knowledge from if I wished to make an eng hboot for marvelc.

Thanks for your comments, discussion, etc.

I have CW Recovery 3.1.0.1 on my phone, from several months ago.

I see on CW page that newest version is 5.0.2.0.

I don't even remember exactly how I originally installed v3, but I am trying to update to v5 and not succeeding.

I found this guide:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nexus_S_4G:_Full_Update_Guide

But I can't seem to get my PC to recognize my phone while it is in the bootloader. I tried using the driver provided in that guide, no luck either.

Any help please? Thanks!

[Galaxy S II General] Gnarfsan:
TouchWiz is a pretty good launcher. There is one thing that I don't like about it though; If I use another launcher, the TwLauncher itself, the animated wallpaper and all the widgets I have placed on it will load on boot and they will sync, even if I don't use the launcher. This causes battery drain and CPU load.

The only work around, I have fount, is to disable it with Autostarts. This is not an ideal solution because it requires root and may void warrenty.
[Galaxy S II General] blueseeker:
There's maybe 1% of users hating TW, but there's no hate going on.

Probably you want to point to the "yuck, TW4 over ICS" threads.

We still like TW, but not in the current form. Old TW with the new ICS don't make a good marriage. Let's say that the current version is outdated.
[Galaxy S II General] Leonne:
Not a fan of Touchwiz myself, before I rooted I had no other option but to use it because other launchers gave me problems. I miss Launcher Pro and I even paid for that thing, but it killed my battery too son and it distorted your wallpaper when you rotated.

Now I'm happy with everything Cyanogenmod's giving me.
[Galaxy S II General] skimminstones:
rule number 1 of changing launchers

remove everything from all screens of previous launcher. No quite sure why you would need to root your phone to perform such a simple task. If youre not using that launcher why are you keeping all your widgets on it? :confused:

Did any one maybe think that they're just using touch wiz in their build of ics just for testing purposes? To be honest if they would just let us change the theme or sort the damn app drawer etc I would be happy! However if go launcher enables hardware acceleration in the future I'll probably never use touch wiz anyway...that's the beauty of Android...we can choose :-P

I just got my SGS2 2 weeks before. Previously I used an HTC Desire HD with Sense 3.5.

I don't hate TW, but I defenetly don't like it. Sense is just so much easier to use, and has many many good, new ideas. TW is very much iOS like, just like the SGS2 with the one physical button on the bottom. Keyboard and camera app is very good, but the dialer, message app, the lockscreen, the iOS like launcher and app drawer... I just don't like them.

Then there's the mounting. You plug an HTC to your PC and it offers to charge only, mount, usb theter your net, and you can make one default or you can get the screen every time. First time I tried to mount my SGS2 to my PC, I just couldn't find out, I had to search the net, how to do it! Samsung has so much to learn from HTC about software, and HTC should learn a lot about hardware from Samsung.

It's good to have this thread : ) I had to let it get out of myself
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
I think:

first of all, the "omg i hatez touch wiz" comments started going again when everybody saw the first leaked ICS rom from Samsung that had TW over ICS. While Im not sure, one of the biggest reasons people (and me included) hate it is that it makes your phone look almost the same as now. And people like to look at their phone and see "yes I haz the Ice Cream I haz the power today!!!" :>

At the moment for me, it's ICS Launcher > TW Launcher > everything else.

I made a ICS "wannabe" yesterday with Go Launcher and it looked good, except I still prefer TW launcher. The App drawer in TW is something I like, its simple and fast. Overall TW is simple and fast. Its just that since I have seen ICS, TW has fallen on the second place.

Just like a made the switch from HTC Sense to ASOP after about half a year on the HTC Desire, I think I will make the jump on the SGS2 to a good working ICS ASOP rom.

Hey PPL

On samsung galaxy s2 there is no other launcher smoother than touchwiz

I am bored of Touchwiz too but i keep coming back to it due to its smoothness.

The closer to touchwiz is QQLauncher Pro but most of its menus are in chinese

I hope samsung will update Touchwiz soon before releasing ICS.

Does anyone know what happened to Launcher PrO Why is it dead?

This was a kind of troll thread anyway really. I got bored of seeing people bash touchwiz in every ICS thread as if they were surprised to see it.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] Gnarfsan:
Why? Because I wanted to keep the setup. The question is: Why does the TwLauncher start at all when I'm not using it?
[Galaxy S II General] skimminstones:
because its the default launcher. Any other launcher you are using is just an app running over it, same as anything else you have running.
[Galaxy S II General] Prozac786:
Touchwiz isnt so bad, has some pretty nice functionality but I agree it looks ugly compared to the stock ICS launcher.

However I don't see why Samsung can't skin touchwiz to look similar to ICS but keep the same functionality. That way current owners of the phone will still know where everything is/how it works etc. because nothing will change except touchwiz gets a new look.

I think thats what Samsung will do. I really doubt they release a final ICS build with the GB touchwiz. I'm certain they will keep touchwiz but give it an ICS look so you will hardly notice the difference.

You can confirm this by searching "kp2 sgs2" in youtube and you can see how the touchwiz launcher has been transformed to look alot closer to stock ICS, yet it keeps touchwiz features/functions/interface.

And I think further modifications to touchwiz will still be made by Samsung

So we get the best of both worlds.

Tw, is actually pretty good, its hard ware accelerated for a start, which allowed it never to slow down even with the hungriest live wallpaper, some great widget resize features, nice fluid motion and a clear easy layout, ok you might not be able to theme it
[Galaxy S II General] Elvispen:
Launcher Pro is not "dead". He was working on a big overhaul. Recodeing almost everything, then came ICS.

Back to the drawingboard with the ICS source and do it all over again.

I'll guess a new update/release in the spring 2012.

But it still works flawless on my s2.
[Galaxy S II General] sxi200:
This is not a stupid thread, but on face value it may appear to be.

The reason it was started was to hopefully stop all the whingeing on other threads that are not related to TW. Unfortunately people still feel the need to sook on ICS threads etc.

The moderators have had to remove pages and pages of it because such comments were off topic. Now people can whine here if they feel the need.

I personally don't use stock TW but instead use TW 4.5 with ICS theme. But asking Samsung to remove it, as some people have is silly.

Remember that Google Nexus is a competing phone. Its like BMW using the exact same interior as Mercedes. It may look different on the outside, have a different engine but as soon as you hop in its exactly the same. Sounds stupid doesn't it. Well that's what people are asking Samsung to do with the ICS launcher.

[Galaxy S II General] liljom:
if you delete TW, then the other launcher doesn't run over it :)

and I use Go Launcher from day one aswell, and it's smooth, so I don't know why to mention hardware acceleration, when it's smooth, and Go Launcher is more customizable. Actually I would be happy with TW if I could set it not to look so iPhone-ish :p

[Galaxy S II General] leoni1980:
Ok, here's my take on it.

I don't necessarily 'hate' TouchWiz; in fact I've actually tried using TouchWiz Launcher recently and thought it was pretty smooth and had a few nice features. Samsung add a lot of really REALLY useful implementations as part of their 'TouchWiz' experience. This is probably an easier thing for them to do than 'assemblers' like HTC as they actually design and MAKE many of their components so they know how to get 1080p out of a shedload of filetypes for example...they can make their chips do that. Other manufacturers just buy some generic, crappy chip from Qualcomm, shove it in their device and make do with CPU accellerated naffness in their bloated firmware.

I have to say though, I despise some of the modifications Samsung make to core apps. I am really not a fan of black backgrounds. I know that SAMOLED uses less power with black backgrounds but...REALLY? I mean how much difference does it really make. Black backgrounds with luminous colours are very garish and aesthetically ugly in the opinion of me, and pretty much any designer you care to ask. They are the domain of the visually impaired for the most part, and I don't belong to that group - even if I do like to have a massive screen!

I also don't like unneccessary additions to the OS such as 'IM'. What is the point of this when there is an official Messenger app with C2DM for pretty much every social network?

My biggest hate is for the keyboard though. It is an ABOMINATION. What English speaking westerner would ever want autocorrect to default to OFF on a portrait keyboard? The only justification I can think of is that the autocorrect popup is so ANNOYING that they hoped no-one would find a means to activate it. WHo ever thought that having the visible screen jumping about everywhere was a good idea when you type stuff? And that 3 stage shift key that stays on the last screen you used...ugh. It's about as efficient as cleaning a dirty floor with a soiled nappy.

I beg of Samsung to leave the ICS keyboard in their new update. Just give us SOME of the benefits of ICS...please. We do love you really.

One thing I will say is that people are jumping the gun a bit with their criticism of ICS on the S2. The early builds are, in my opinion, purely to get things stable. I'm 90% sure that their designers are altering the current apps, widgets and general look to fit better with Android 4.0.3 and that these redesigns will start to show up in later builds.

If not then...BOY do they need to fire a few people.
[Galaxy S II General] DannyDrama:
Leoni, that was a well written point of view. I agree about the keyboard, as i'm typing this I spelled "view" wrong, and it autocorrected to Beowulf, which i've never typed. :confused:

In terms of usability, TouchWiz is pretty good IMO. But you're right, its also pretty damn ugly!

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaihanH:
Hello everyone, My friend recently gave me his G Tablet to "update" it. I've read most of the guides and have a good idea on what needs to be done. I am currently on stock rom 1.1. I was just wondering before i backup my rom with NVFlash and install CWM, do i need to Root my device first ? I went through that gtablet for dummies site and it does not mention anything about rooting the tablet. I intend to install vegan tab 7.1.0. Does the rom come pre-rooted or will i need root the device first before running nvflash and installing cwm ?

Also im looking for a stable rom. Is vegan-tab stable enough or should i be looking at another rom? remember i am on bootloader 1.1
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brettdwagner:
No need to root before installing a new Rom. The new rom will give you root access. Vegan seems to be a favorite for stability. Not sure if the most recent update has a version for the 1.1 bootloader though. This site will walk you through everything you need to know http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qkster:
The boot loader issue had been debated at some length in the past.

Some dev (roebeet) pushed for development into 1.2 - some stayed with 1.1

Either way, there are some roms for both.

You should learn NV flash and try out a few and see what works for you.

HC flashback 10.3 is slick and nice.

Beasty/clem ultimate is very fast and stable.

On a side note, ICS is in development pending kernel work. It will be on a 1.2 BL base...fwiw
