Install Instruction

This is NOT flashable zip, do not try to attempt to flash it thru recovery!

Install Steps:

Important!, we are replacing launcher here, so make sure you download 3rd party launcher such as free version of Apex or Nova launcher, in case something goes wrong.

Don't be stupid or naive, make a full nandroid backup!!!!!

---- Bakup

Now, before you do anything, backup your current stock launcher, to do so; go to root's system\priv-app folder and backup MagazineLauncher.apk , MagazineWidget.apk (including odex files if you are on stock odexed ROM), now we have backup, so go head delete them (apk/odex files).

Because we will be using Tab S Launcher, setting wallpaper chooser apps needs Tab S's wallpaper chooser, backup your wallpaper chooser apps, to do so; go to root's system\priv-app folder and backup Wallpapercropper.apk , SecLiveWallpapersPicker.apk, SecWallpaperChoosers.apk (including odex files if you are on stock odexed ROM), now we have backup, so go head delete them (apk/odex files).

Backup your current Accuweather & briefing, to do so, go to Tablet root's system\app and backup Accuweather apk and WeatherDaemon2014 apk (including odex files if you are on stock odexed ROM),now we have backup, so go head delete them (apk/odex files).

-- Install

Download Galaxy_Tab_S_TouchWiz_Launcher package to your tablet's download folder and unzip it.

You should end up two folders; priv-app and app folder, copy content of priv-app folder to system\priv-app folder on your tablet and give it 644 (-rw-r--r--) permission to all apk files that you just copied.

Copy content of app folder to system\app folder on your tablet and give it 644 (-rw-r--r--) permission to all apk files that you just copied.

Go to Settings --> General -- > Application Manager -->All, find TouchWiz Home, and clear data/cache.

Reboot your tablet.

Enjoy your fully functional new Tab S Launcher!

-- Troubleshooting

It is recommended (but not required) to do wipe cache/dalvik cache thru custom recovery.

In case magazines UX widgets boxes (swipe left to right) does not comes up/widgets are all blank, ] Go to Settings --> General -- > Application Manager -->All, find all MyMagazine apps (MyMagazine, here&now..etc) and do clear data/cache of magazine apps stuffs.

In case Accuweather and Briefing widget does blank when placed to home screen, do clear data/cache too.

This is tested on Stock Rooted Odexed ROM -SM-T320UEU1ANG1, it could work any other ROMs that's stock based.

-- Support/Help

This is provided as is, unfortunately I can't provide you support as everyone has different configuration of tablet, different ROMs, etc. I tried to make the install instruction as simple as easy to follow, but it is important to know basic andorid stuff (like how to give permission to file, root, how to use root explorer, how to back up, nandroid..etc..). However, I will try to help whenever possible..

Usage Rights:

If you want to use it in your own ROM, you only have to give proper credits, just as a way of courtesy:angel:, and you do not need ask for permission,

but it would be nice if you let me know (and a link back to this thread) if you are using it your own ROM and adding proper credits in your OP posting.
