Good riddance touch wiz. Thanks for this.

I probably should have backed up tw before removing it huh. hmm. Can go back to the nandroid but I wonder if it even matters. Not like I use it or anything.

Will doing stuff like this affect the future ota 2.2 update? e.g. Ryanza lag fix, removing tw, removing crapware, ect.
[Vibrant Android Development] ritalin:
Im in agreement that removing TouchWiz launcher does not make the phone run faster. The launcher itself is not running in the background to my knowledge. Extra space on your phone does not mean your phone runs faster, unless your running out of space of course.

Eugene, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? I know your contribute quite a bit to the community and people can get quite annoying after a while, but he asked a legit question. Sure he could have worded it better, but I dont think that his question was sarcastic.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
I agree Eugene was totally out of line. Now its my turn, hurry up on froyo a hole .. j/k dude, you the man Eugene but chill bro
[Vibrant Android Development] Relikk356:
I read sometime ago that people were unable to sync the Wii controllers through Bluetooth because of something that touchwiz did. I'm not sure exactly what touchwiz would have to do with bluetooth but has anyone tried since they've removed touchwiz?
[Vibrant Android Development] supertrac:
HAHAAHHA LMAO!
[Vibrant Android Development] ritalin:
If memory serves correct its not directly related to touchwiz, but related to the bluetooth stack used in our phones.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
wrong side of the bed? no, just tired of people asking Questions when they don't bother to try it for them self.. With that being said, if you want ADW Launcher, then good for you! However why come in here & pick apart the thread if your never going to use it?

Asking a Legit Question? I didn't see one, other than being a smart ass & asking what's the point! Just install ADW or pref. Launcher...

This is for People that want the Stock Launcher & Remove Twiz Launcher Completely, as removing twiz will FC, I clearly said that in the OP! then people wonder why I get bent out of share? because people don't read..

Now am I out of line? maybe, but I highly doubt you are getting pm over the dumbest thing ranging from ( How-to install a App -To- how do I setup ADB? )

The fact is people don't read, they just Post before they even understand what the thread is about..

enough said..

Now am I mad? no, I think people are blowing what I said out of the water, point being if you want to use ADW / Twiz, then don't use this..
[Vibrant Android Development] mrbradeli:
I think I may have done something wrong... I pushed the apk to /system/app using adb, and rebooted my phone a few seconds afterwards, and now I'm stuck at the Vibrant logo. I'm guessing I have to flash a stock ROM with ODIN, right? Or is there anything else I can do to fix this. This is only my third day with an Android phone, so be gentle with me. I'm still learning lol

Edit: Also, if anyone could tell me what I forgot or did wrong, that would awesome. Any help is appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] supertrac:
That's right, I'm with you bro.

I can only imagine what your pms look like... I get the craziest pms all the time... Keep up the good work... And don't let the noobs get the best of you..

We should make a thread in general of the fail posts..
[Vibrant Android Development] ritalin:
What you are saying is what he wanted to know, but Im sure he wasn't expecting the answer to come from an angry dude with a red face yelling it at him. :rolleyes: You misread what he was saying, he was NOT picking apart the thread he was asking if there was any difference between this and using ADW. He was asking if there was a benefit to doing this over ADW. It was just poorly worded. The next poster stated that removing TouchWiz would speed up the system and another stated that adding extra space because it was removed would speed up the system. Both of these comments are wrong and/or poorly worded.

You have made it clear that you are now jaded by the onslaught of basic questions sent to your PM. You should try to take that into account when reading someones post, as I did not detect the slightest bit of sarcasm nor malicious intent in his post. While you may have a point that these forums are filling with people that post the same question over and over again, dont bother to search, and take without giving back, if you dont watch your own jadedness you become the opposite side of the spectrum. You know, those jerks that call those that ask questions in an open-source forum, noobs. Both of these types are not needed here, nor anywhere for that matter.

If I was not already familiar with you, I would assume you are the latter of the two. I am familiar with you however and know that you just interpreted his questions wrong. Just try to keep that in mind.

From someone that works in the IT industry, if you cant keep a positive mindset you might want to keep a lower profile, or the silly repetitive questions will eat away at your soul and then you end up screaming at kids to stay off your lawn. ;) I only get angry when the same person asks me the same question in a different form over and over, but that would drive anyone nuts.

PS... I have had my PM flooded before. Infact every time I speak up for someone in an event like this, I get hit by a few people that ask questions that are answered in stickied thread. :rolleyes:

I also got my PM hammered when I posted the how-to on creating your own FlipFonts, and that post had detail and how-to overkill.
[Vibrant Android Development] ritalin:
You got a little something there on your nose.;)
[Vibrant Android Development] ritalin:
First thing first. Did you use clockwork to do a nandroid backup of your install? If you did not, then you need to go about learning that first. Just do a search in the Vibrant Android Development forum for Clockwork and how it works.

For future reference, any time you do ANYTHING with ADB and you dont give yourself a backup of the files you're replacing you NEED to do a nandroid backup first. After you start to get comfortable with the inner workings of the system you can start to take chances without it, but as of now your just asking for a softbrick. I would start over with ODIN, get root, install Clockwork (aka Rom Manager) from the market, get your system setup the way you like it, boot into clockwork make a nandroid backup. Then and ONLY then start playing around with other stuff like this post.

Good Luck.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Yes, I very well misread it..

Sorry to those having to read my never long Posts....

To everyone else... I'll be Posting a Free Stock Launcher via Market later today.

Please Send me or vote on what the Stock tab should look like, I love stock launcher, but never really liked the tab on it.
[Vibrant Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Well said Eugene. Thanks for sharing this with us. Its much appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] ritalin:
Text is a ***** sometimes, I get called out alot when I post on Gizmodo and in the end it was only meant as sarcasm or a joke. It can be hard to tell if I dont attach a a sarcmark to it.

Sweet deal on the launcher in the market, but then again I wouldn't expect less from you. ;)

Ive always been kind of a fan of the silver ring in place of the tab. Its nice, simple and clean, so it works with alot of different styles.
[Vibrant Android Development] masr1979:
Hey Eugene, when will you be giving us a list of files we can delete? I think I now which apps I can delete, but can I also delete the framework files?... I'm not expecting this to speed up my phone, or make a genie come out of it, but I detest TW launcher (the confused iphone launcher) and would rather eradicate any trace of it from my phone... I will admit to liking samsungs take on contacts and dialer better though.
[Vibrant Android Development] olieebur:
I can confirm that this works on the Captivate just fine
[Vibrant Android Development] ritalin:
Just to clarify this is strictly for the launcher, all the other aspects of touchwiz will stay. All the good stuff in my opinion.
[Vibrant Android Development] The K-Zoo Kid:
Will this work on the new firmware?
[Vibrant Android Development] cconrado:
update

bumpbump!!
[Vibrant Android Development] sinanovski:
IN fact, I'm hoping that samsung will include an option to switch between stock and twiz in their 2.2 update....:o
[Vibrant Android Development] hurrpancakes:
Sarcasm != *****ing

Why are There random words Capitalized?
[Vibrant Android Development] tjhart85:
IIRC, it's not Touchwiz that messed this up, it's that samsung didn't include HID mode in their drivers.

Also, I think Eugene needs a volunteer to take care of reading/answering his PMs for him!

Hell, I get random PMs from people (if you're going to PM me with a question on something I said, PLEASE provide a link to the thread, lol) and I'm not anywhere near as famous around here as Eugene. Just to reiterate NOWHERE NEAR as famous as Eugene, so I can't even imagine what he's getting.
[Vibrant Android Development] jodue:
yeah nice :D just "installed" it on my i9000 and it feels like the good ol' magic again :D. thanks eugene!

another question: whats about your aosp rom? it was such promising work but no more progress? this is very sad :(
[Vibrant Android Development] cconrado:
this is aint working for me. can i get clear instructions plz?
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
There's Progress, just not Public Posting.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
two questions.

Will this work on JIT2?

Does it get rid of the lag?

I ask about the lag because i saw when i put ADW the lag was almost gone.

Thanks for the work.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
So this wont work on Bionix 1.3??
[Vibrant Android Development] Smokexz:
How can I do this with Root Explorer? It keeps telling me the folder is read only so I can't put it into system/apps
[Vibrant Android Development] krazykidd:
The way I did it to get it to work was:

1. Go into Titanium backup, remove the Tw*.apks (2 of them)

2. Use root explorer to move the Launcher.apk into the /system/app folder.

3. ?????

4. PROFIT!

On a serious side note. Do steps 1 and 2 and it should be automatic from there.

There is a button that says Mount R/O or Mount R/W depending on whether or not you have it mounted one way or another. You want to mount the folder as r/w (read write).
[Vibrant Android Development] aperezny:
It's working for me on Bionix 1.4 if that helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] aperezny:
Can I do the same but using Launcher2.apk instead?

Launcher2 looks more decent than this launcher although i have to say that anything is better than TWCrap.
[Vibrant Android Development] wildklymr:
How would one go about modifying this to work on JI6? Atm it does not work for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] negativedrew:
Eugene, did you every post the stock launcher in the market? I'm searching for it but no luck yet.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
sorry... I got side tracked and to be honest 100% forgot about it..

I'll try and free up some time this sunday to get it posted in the market.
[Vibrant Android Development] kiladubz:
ok, ive done both these steps, and reboot, tried installing through adb using root explorer....

Command i used was: install /sdcard/extracted/launcher.apk /system/app/

what would i do from here, the launcher.apk appears under system/app/ but i cannot install it from here....ive researched but cant seem to find anything...any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] inverseflux:
Anyone else have issues dragging shortcuts from one screen to the next?

It's almost like it doesn't recognize the border where it is, but wider then what is seen.
[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
JI6 support would be nicerific.
[Vibrant Android Development] wildklymr:
Its funny, it didnt work on frankin twiz 4 based off of ji6. I updated to the official ji6 last night via odin, and now it works... Go figure.
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
It will free some space, not that much though. What it will do, is free up the RAM that was being used by the TWIZ launcher. If you like to use Kies at all, I don't, but if you do, don't use this. TWIZ is required for Kies mode. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Alkaloid:
Does anyone know how to go about, or if it's possible to use this launcher with Eugene's AOSP clone rom? Any help would be appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] Smokexz:
Well I wouldn't recommending removing touchwiz, but you can set it as your default so essentially together are getting rid of it. It works, and faster than touchwiz, however there are only 3 homescreens. So for those of you who use a lot of widgets will be disappointed, fine for me though
[Vibrant Android Development] ags29:
Holy crap dude, let it go!

Eugene,

Pleaseeeeeee ignore these posters. They just don't get it. In every one of your posts I find you defending your work somehow. Why? Just ignore those who don't get it or appreciate it. I think you telling that first guy who questioned the need for this here to **** off is completely justified and you should've just ignored replies after that because they're simply wasting space and time. On another note, great work man.

Edit: I just saw that post was a while back and you did finally let it go. Wheww!

I'm just curious what keeps Froyo from being put on the Vibrant. Something missing from Samsung's end? Nothing else from Google at this point I assume, since Froyo's source code has been released.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
It's already in the works with CM6 and Samsung.

Samsung is probably porting TouchWiz 3.0 over to Froyo and CM is doing their stuff with porting it over.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cigar3tte:
Remember when camera drivers were keeping us from getting Eclair on G1/MT3G? I'm wondering if it's the same right now with Vibrant and Froyo. Are you saying everything is available and all it takes is time on the devs' end?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
No. I don't think so, I'm not a dev so I wouldn't be sure. http://github.com/wesgarner

Haven't heard anything from WesGarner about missing drivers.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsfaze:
there is nothing missing but taking a custom UI that is integrated throughout the system and now modifying it to work with version 2.2 (froyo) of android is not an overnight task.

Samsung has stated that it should be released by the end of this month.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cigar3tte:
Would it make things easier on devs when Samsung rolls out the official Froyo OTA?
[Wildfire General] nimrodg13:
asked in the title...

when i backup with nandroid.... where exactly is it saving the backup file/s?

cuz i just changed microsd card to 16g... so i wondered if i can still restore or i should mount the old card before...?

ok after searching abit i saw it saves the backup on the sd card...
[Wildfire General] chrischdi:
Normally the files are on the SD-Card in:

clockworkmod\backup

There are subfolders with the made backups.

[HD2 General] mrbox23:
This is probably redundant but might save someone from bricking. Theres a radio in the HD2 thread with a .51 in the name DO NOT FLASH THIS TO A TMO LEO! I did and now i have a brick. Theres also a ROM floating around with this radio in it. Be careful people.

Also if anyone has a HD2 with a cracked screen or other damage but still turns on for under $200 pm with a clear ESN im interested.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Sorry for your loss, and kudos for the warning, but there are LOADS of radios with a 51 in them, and ALL non tmous stock roms include a 51 radio. Plus there must be a hundred threads by now where people have bricked their phone by flashing a 51 radio, and many more warning against flashing ..51.. radios, , surprising you didnt come across one when you were researching flashing.

T mobile will replace it under warranty if you play dumb about how it happened. (as dozens of people will confirm)
[HD2 General] cdguider:
GSM Phones Do not have ESN. Only CDMA and CDMA Hybrid Phones (CDMA & GSM)
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
here's an example of what not to flash. don't flash .51. radio or anything below 2.08
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
If your phone does not boot up, even to the bootloader, just turn it back in to T-Mobile for a warranty exchange. If you didn't get the phone through T-Mobile, try getting in touch with HTC.

Also, I would like to mention that I too am sorry for this happening to you. It happened quite frequently in the very early days, which is why the mods created a specific T-Mobile HD2 forum for us. These days I don't think the Leo chefs are even bothering to put the large red warnings at the top of their posts anymore, which is a shame even if it is understandable.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
it still happens daily!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
it still happens daily! I broke the sad news to someone just a few minutes ago. (Mostly people trying to change the language by flashign regular leo official roms nowadays, it seems.)

Plus ive seen a few sites that dont correctly list the full rom name (sunnysoft, hang your heads in shame, you owe ((name omitted)) a new tmous!)

ROM Leo HTC WWE EastEurope 1 66 zip

instead of

RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1.66.479.2_Radio_CRC_Si gned_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship

for example.

Lesson for the day? if you cant see the full filename, dont trust it.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
I blame T-Mobile. Calling it the "HD2" even though it is not compatible with the Euro version was very confusing.

Of course, I've argued this point for months and as usual T-Mobile doesn't seem to read my arguments ;)

This gets asked almost every day....

Just flash a stock rom:

You can't connect to your computer, so just turn off the phone, remove your SD card, with a card reader (or if your computer has one built in) transfer the stock rom to the SD card. Put the SD back in your phone, boot onto recovery and flash. Done.

Here are the roms. Pick a stock rom, not a rooted one.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ravemeover:
Hi, I have been trying to research m problem before having to post a thread, but I havent had any luck.

This morning, I updated m HTC tilt 2 (at&t version) with the new upgrade available on the HTC site. The upgrade went well, however, since i have done it, i have been unable to send or receive text messages, the first few messages i sent said they went through but the other party did not get them, after the 1st 2 or 3, it just tells me now UNABLE TO SENT TEXT MESSAGE.... I am using this phone unlocked on the telus network, and have been for 2 months now. I was sending and receiving messages without a problem before the upgrade. Could someone please help me if you have an idea of what could be causing the problem, I really need my text service working. I have been trying to find the original At&t ship rom, the one that was on my phone before, and cant find it anywhere, not even HTC site. Could someone post the rom?

I really appreciate any help, I am going crazy here, lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ravemeover:
well, i just received 2 messages sent to me a few minutes ago, then tried to repl to one and it still said Cannot send text message. I have sent 2 from the telus site to my number , so far i got one. Also, i notice the signal bars are not that high since i changed the rom....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ravemeover:
o.k, sorr to keep adding to this thread, but for some reason, now my texts send but i dont get a reply. when i send one to myself i dont receive it, but i just sent two out and it said sent with success, but still havent received the one i sent to myself. gonna try again to send one from telus site, but i still havent received the 2nd one i sent from telus site...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ravemeover:
Well, just realized the problem is with telus. Sorry for the post, i should have checked with them first but it happened at the same time i did the upgrade... However, I would still like to re-load the original ROM , if someone has it can you please post it. Since the new rom, my screen wont rotate anymore, even with the app changescreen enabled.

Hello All,

Old, but a nooby to Droid. I havn't done any programing sence the days of windows 3.1/ visual basic days (1990 something).

I have built a MAME arcade game or two, and repair old PCs.

So I guess I'm not a complete Dufuss, but man, do I have a lot to catch up on! :eek:

I've had my T-Mo, MyTouch 3G Slide for a couple months now, and I'm ready to set it free and root it.

I've been reading up on this site, but some of the terms are new to me.

I most certinly don't want to brick it!

So my question is....

-where can I find a "glossary of terms" for droidworld?

I fished around this site and didn't see such a page.

Terms like...

ROM- like a MAME game ROM? (Run Only Memory?)

GoldCard- A super SD card?

FroYo- I dont even have a guess on this one.

Flashing- how does this help? My wife turns away and tells me to cover up. :D

A point in the right direction and I'll say sweet things about you for a month!!

PM or mail me the hard copy and I'll take you out for bowling, pizza and beer!!!

Thanks,

Glossary

Wow! You never got an answer! This is really sad. No wonder why you never came back! :(

I was looking for a Glossary myself as there are some words that, even if you find the meaning on the net, in here they have a different connotation and it would be really nice to learn the community-specific terminology.

Some examples are "beats" (Audio Software) but on a ROM is kind of a driver... or "deodexed"...

To have Glossary would also minimize the amount of newbies questions...
