Hey guys,

I've seen a lot of great suggestions, but I don't have the source code for Samsung's launcher so a lot of them are simply impossible for me to implement. Also, everyone seems to want different things and I can't possibly please everyone, so things that only a couple people mention are probably not going to happen.

That said, I've seen some people request that a 16-bit disabled version be brought back. I will try to post that sometime in the next few days. Other things I'm considering include making the page indicator dots smaller and/or hidden, making a 5 row home screen and app drawer version, adding the email/message count feature from the i9000 TouchWiz, and adding a few more languages. However, I'm in school and will be graduating this semester so I'll be really busy over the next couple months looking for a job and trying to pass my classes, so don't get your hopes too high for those features any time soon.

Other devs are welcome to use my work as a starting point to further enhance TouchWiz. Please just credit me somewhere if you do.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] joeshmoe08:
How?

I've never heard of that.:eek: Can You please tell me how to do that? And so if I "unfreeze" then the icon will show in the app drawer?

Edit: I found out why I didn't know about it. Aparently you have to pay to get pro version for it which sucks. Is there anyway to get it for free or any app that does the same thing?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dani897:
you are the man. you have already made mt phone way cooler. the 5x5 home screen will be amazing, cant wait.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] flashman2002:
I guess I should have mentioned that. I don't have access at work so I couldn't tell you that. Sorry. The paid version really is worth it though.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] joeshmoe08:
Totally understand man. First school and job. Hobby second. And just like Dani897 said, you have made my phone look cooler.

Ya I'm going to buy it since it seems very useful.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tsachi:
Love this launcher.

Any way to get the screens transferred from the stock version over? If I clear data, I have to rebuild my screens and if I restore TW data I loose the drawer apps. I am on cog 2.2, switching between b6 and b9, and I'd like to have a quick way of restoring the screens.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dani897:
lol i am using this and i use the feeds and updates widget, in landscape mode it turns pink and purple. in asia colors aren't identified as effeminate or masculine so i guess that's what the widget might look like in korea.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] waghoba:
Looks cool will give it try. Havent actually got time to read through the complete threqd yet, but can anyone confirm that this runs with cognition 2.3b3 without any problems?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Ethere:
This works much better than the original version. Thank you so much! In the original screenshot, how did you get the status bar you have? And where can I get that wallpaper?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] k87qc76ghc5:
Page numeration

The current page numeration (at white circle at the top) is missing.

Is this is a bug or a feature ? :)

We would like it back, please.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] k87qc76ghc5:
Dock

How can I manually add standard phone/messaging/contacts icons in main dock ?

If I clear launcher data I loose all my icons on main screens (I have many of them).

(I did that first, luckily I had backup)

Is it possible to add icons in app dock as well (there is only home icon there) ?

Thanks!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gtg465x:
There is a video in the first post that shows you how to do it.

Not possible with the new dock version.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gtg465x:
We (as in Captivate owners) never had it. That feature, which I don't particularly care for anyways, is only in other non-Captivate roms.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tkienzle:
Nice work love it...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] k87qc76ghc5:
I know how to change icons in the dock, the problem is that phone/messaging/contacts icons (that were previously in the standard dock) are nowhere to be found.

Thanks.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] k87qc76ghc5:
If you have many pages with apps (like I do) this is very handy, because by tapping on the circle you can switch directly to the particular page.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gtg465x:
Try clearing your launcher data as outlined in the first post.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gtg465x:
Have you tried pinch zooming out on the app drawer? Also, you can still tap the circles. Just no numbers. Haven't figured out how to integrate that feature from i9000 TouchWiz yet.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tkienzle:
Ok so you want the little dots or you want numbers up there because if you want just the dots I got that on my cappy.

Send for interspace on my hacked telly...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] k87qc76ghc5:
The dots are there anyway, I meant numbers so that I can find a page much faster. Not a big deal if you only have few, but with many of them, the dots alone are not much of a help. By pinching on the app drawer you can see few miniaturized pages at once, but there are so small that it is hardly possible to recognize icons/text.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tkienzle:
Took a look at my friends vibrant last night see what you mean the numbers you speak of that is kind of cool...

Send from interspace on my hacked telly...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] KevL:
Hello, first of all I would like to thank you for this great MOD. I had your MOD installed for a couple of weeks now and I really like it. Just one thing. I see four different versions and cannot tell what the differences are from the filename. So, I was wondering if you can post a screenshot for each one. Thank you in advance.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] flashman2002:
The pages are in order so it really makes no difference. Unless you are changing screens around all the time this feature is not important to keep pushing for. You want something that will take 1/4 a second when it takes 1/2 a second to go through screens. Quit complaining.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] k87qc76ghc5:
Well, I'm not complaining at all :) just tried to explain why I think it would be useful.

It all depends how many pages you have, it's the same like having a book with many pages, finding a particular one is getting a way faster if pages are numerated.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] flashman2002:
Yeah but we only are able to have 7 homescreens unless you have found a way around that. I guess my question to you is why need so many homescreens instead of utilizing shortcuts or even just keeping your most used stuff on the homescreens instead of it sounds like taking everything to the homescreen. Sorry for my initial post to you but it just seems like it is a nicety you are looking for rather than necessity. To each their own, I do know one of his early versions if not the very first had the numbers. Maybe go back to that version.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] aite97:
will it work with cog 2.4?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] flashman2002:
I wouldnt try since Cog 2.4 is based on a Vibrant Rom running Launcherpro, at least I think it is launcherpro. This is based on Touchwiz.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] matthebe:
I've tried the 4 icon no tile version and it works perfectly fine on COG 2.4... the vibrant still uses touchwiz so everything still works is my guess
[Captivate Themes and Apps] flashman2002:
I just assumed since touchwiz is not enabled off the bat in cog 2.4 that it wasn't even installed. Glad this works cause I wasn't going to Guinea pig it lol.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wapozzi:
there is no touchwiz installed.. but installing this does add it back on and both work, but the new one doesnt load icons by the application icon and are not in the application lineup
[Captivate Themes and Apps] k87qc76ghc5:
I'm talking about apps screens, not home screens. For home screens it is of course not necessary.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] HBeezy:
Thanks I'm loving this. I'm running it over cog9.1.3 and its working great.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] anoneemooz:
*please delete, wrong thread sorry!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rawb123456:
Running cog 23b6 because there is not twlauncher by default would I be able to just install this as an apk.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tysj:
Directions are the in original post...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rawb123456:
DG removed TW thus there is no TW3.0 apk in the system app folder. Can I place this apk in the system app folder?

TouchwizGTG for 5 icon dock

Which files contains a 5 icon dock, I tried to copy and overwrite the Touchwiz30Launcher.apk (16bit_disabled) file into system/app but I noticed no changes to my home screen. Also, I can't find "com.sec.android.app.twlauncher" under Settings > Applications > Manage applications > Running > or Twlauncher to force stop the application. I'm using froyo (dxjpa)..
[Captivate Themes and Apps] raiderep:
Very nice work. I have been trying to get the app drawer background transparent like that and am glad to see its been figured out. I am also using this on my Epic by the way, no modding needed. Just swapped it in place of my existing one and working fine so far ;)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gil80:
need help.

Please assist me with installing TW.

when I select it after I press the home button, my phone vibrates and it FC the app.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dave the Knave:
Did you follow the directions?

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gil80:
to the letter... except the set permissions. I don't know how to do that. BUt I used Super Manager app and the /system/app was in RW mode. I don't know if it's the same as giving the apk permission.

Other then that, I believe I've done as stated.

i removed the odex file and the original TW file from the system/app folder.

copied the new TW file into system/app

Forced stop and cleared data.

P.S. - I used the TouchWizGTG_v1.1._New_Dock_Colored_Icons.zip file, and extracted the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk file from there.

P.P.S - look at my signature for firmware info. I use speedmod lagfix DATA=EXT4 no journal.

All the others are on RFS.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Ben4608:
im currently using this launcher and love it, looks great and a lot, let me repeat, a LOOOT faster then stock. anyways was wondering if we can somehow mod this to work with a density app... like this launcher running with a 200 setting or so.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ryude:
Does this work with froyo roms or just stock 2.1 roms?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gtg465x:
Froyo only.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Captivate-me:
Using the new dock colored icons, and I love it! thanks so much for doing this. It's super fast.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] :
Thx for your work but it won't work for me on my GT-I9000. Did it like you said (used Root Explorer). After that I reboot but it is the same launcher only I deleted the places were the icons were.

Got JPX as Firmware (not JPY because of the GPS Problem)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dalethefarmer:
This is great, works with Nero 5 :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MMAHavok69:
Man this is awesome!!! Im running cog 2.3b8 and I always liked touchwhiz better than the stock launcher and was jealous of epic owners with the 270° tilt but this is the best launcher I've ever used. Its fast, efficient and way better than the stock google launcher. Much easier to customize the home screens.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tegots:
is it possible to install it with a black app drawer background and icon backdrops enable ?

thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gnaneswarv:
Can we use this on other android devices as the default launcher too? I have Xperia x10 on mind. Thanks.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dave the Knave:
I doubt it as it uses the TouchWiz framework that is only on Samsung phones.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] apeko:
help

ok i need some help. i just cant figure out how to install "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk" on my phone.

I am running Paragon RC5.1.

I have root explorer installed and app2sd installed.

is their a step by step to follow.

Thanks all!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tysj:
From the OP:

Installation (If you're a noob, I recommend using Root Explorer. If you're not, you probably don't need this installation guide.)

1. Copy the default TouchWiz30Launcher.apk and TouchWiz30Launcher.odex (if applicable) from /system/app to your SD card as a backup.

2. Delete TouchWiz30Launcher.odex (if applicable) from /system/app and copy this new TouchWiz30Launcher.apk over the old one.

3. Set permissions of the new TouchWiz30Launcher.apk to rw-r--r--. You can probably get by without doing this. Haven't tried it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] apeko:
When ever i try to past Touchwiz30 it says past failed also how do you set the permissions?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] greeto4:
Maybe its just me being a noob but I dont see Touchwiz30launcher.apk, the file I download is a .zip file. Also do I need touchwiz to begin with? I am running Cog. 3.04
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tysj:
If you're using Root Explorer, you need to set the directory to R/W using the button on the top that would probably say "Mount R/W". Just make sure it says Mounted as r/w to the left of the button. You should be able to just paste the apk and have it work without doing step 3.

Cog 3.04 doesn't come with the Touchwiz launcher stock, so just paste the apk from the zip you downloaded into the system/app folder
[Captivate Themes and Apps] illini71:
This is confusing as hell. Im on Serendipity 5.7 and in the /system/app there is no such files. Not to mention the zip files have no apk in them. I know how to flash roms and overwrite files, I must be missing something here. Help me please.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] apeko:
got it figures out i was using a program called "rooted explorer" not "root explorer".

everything seams to be working now.

is their a way to disable the auto rotation?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tysj:
Gotta realize that the Touchwiz launcher is not used on all ROMs and Serendipity is one that does not include the Touchwiz launcher. The directions were assuming you had the stock Touchwiz launcher already installed.

And you might need to download the file again. I just tested all of them and all have the apk and only the apk in them.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] illini71:
Where is the APK !!!!!!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dave the Knave:
Inside the .zips in the OP. Moron.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] illini71:
Thanks Douchebag, but i see no APK inside the zip. Could you be more specific!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] illini71:
I have no touchwiz30launcher in the /system/app. I copied the folders to the app folder. Please help. What am i missing.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tysj:
I swear we are being trolled. Did you not read any of the last couple of posts?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] apeko:
HERE! Stop the bad language to the people that are helping us!

View attachment TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
[Captivate Themes and Apps] illini71:
He called me a Moron! is that helping?

Thank You for the apk now where was it?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] illini71:
Ok i copied the apk file to the app folder, but now it wont install. Any ideas. Im really not an ahole. Its just when someone calls you a moron when your having trouble, well it dosent sit well.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tysj:
You just need to put it in the system/app folder; it can't be installed like a normal app. Next time you press home it should ask you which launcher you want to use. If it doesn't try restarting and pressing home again or using home switcher to switch to the touchwiz launcher.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] illini71:
I did that exactly! but all that happend was a few icons appeared. Im going to try a different rom. What rom are you using and when its done does it come out just like the pics. I want that classic android theme.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tysj:
A few icons appearing where? The launcher should be called com.sec.android.app.twlauncher.Launcher in Home Switcher and have an icon of 4 bars or when you press home without a default launcher selected.

My current ROM is listed in my sig. This should be compatible with any 2.2 ROM as I've had it installed on a few different ones before.

No it will not theme your phone. This is just a launcher.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] illini71:
Wont work in cog im installing serendipity now. When i copy the TWlauncher file to the app folder. I get the launcher menue then i choose TWlauncher. Whats happens is a few icons change on my main page. So what would i need to do to make my phone look like his in the pics. Do i need to manually place the folders in. He gives us the folders what are they for.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tysj:
This is just a launcher. It will not make your phone look like the screenshots in the first post. It will not change your notification bar. It will not change your icons. I don't think this one will change your wallpaper either (and especially not the one in the screenshots).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] illini71:
Damn thats everything i want to do. So what does just a launcher do then. Can you point into the direction of where i could find a rom with a classic android theme. Or do i need to make my own.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xdahgary:
Everyone, this launcher is in SGStools. It will download and apply for you. Don't mess with system folder.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Kamar234:
Do you think it would be possible to create a version that doesn't have the landscape mode on?

Does this work on Serendipity? This is my favorite launcher and one of the best features out of Perception 10 which I am currently still running. I am getting the bug to flash again though. (I am a noob when it comes to launchers, but if I can flash Serendipity and keep this launcher I may do it).

Which files do i have to delete in system/app (using Serendipity) ?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Soccer_Dad:
Major sadness. I was thinking about switching to this launcher full-time, but I have a pretty major issue. This launcher makes my wifi flaky. It took a while to figure out. I was fooling around with pinging my phone to see when the wifi shutoff (with the screen shutdown option) and it never would. The notification dropdown widget also had problems. When I switched back to Go Launcher EX, the notification widget problem disappeared.

But I still was having issues with the wifi shutting off automatically, so I had to uninstall the TW launcher. If that doesn't solve it, I have a recent functioning nandroid backup...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xThe Enforcer:
Trying this out later...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Soccer_Dad:
I had the post two up ^. I have switched over to Serendipity 6.2, and seem to have none of the issue with wifi that plagued me before with this launcher. YMMV.

So the big advantage to the TW launcher for me are the Samsung widgets I like. The dock on the bottom of GoLauncher is unsurpassed though. I feel that TW uses less battery - just a feeling.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ScorpioR:
Force closed on the JVK firmware :(.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xThe Enforcer:
Noob question but how can I put custom icons in place of the stock icons on the dock? Just like I could on LP.

Thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xdahgary:
Push and hold the icon on the dock and drag to trash can, then go to app drawer and push and hold and drop in dock.

What firmware you taking about? The modem? I think the cappy can only use the modem from JVK.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] momulah:
Suggestion for next update- If possible could you make it where the homescreen wraparound left to right or vice versa 360 degrees like most launchers? I have steel blue theme and it looks amazing if I replace with this launcher will it mess up the themed icons in app drawer and dock? Sorry for the pics being portrait when it should be landscape. It removed the themed dock background and also app drawer background. Is there away to swap the png's with the themed version of touchwiz out the apk with the transparent pngs?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] blinkste21957:
I did something wrong.

Ok i thought i followed the instructions but maybe not. Anyway i copied the old launcher files back into the system-app folder and now the phone boots up and when slide to unlock a force close windows comes up and i close it and nothing black screen but still have notice bar on top with icons in it still and then force close comes up again , i can't do anything. Is there something i can to with out loseing everything and or what do i do now. Sorry but a noob here. I did have the phone rooted. Noob as far as Android i did have a windows phone but not very active here in a long time. I do have titanium back up installed but back up is on the internal sd.

Just so you guys know if you are on a rom that doesnt use the stock launcher or has one named different and you copy this one into the same system/app folder it wont replace the other and you will have problems make sure you delete the origional or just copy it to your sd card incase u want it later

Wifi works both in 2.6.32 and 2.6.25.

Only camera doesn't work on Polaris

So focus on 2.6.32. Maybe it's a better idea to rewrite all module with w4l support (and so camcoder will probably work)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pl0ppy:
Thanks for the tip, though i never got wifi working on pola200 (o2 orbit 2) But still i will make camera work somehow, expect months of development, and I am doing this for fun, weekends 10+ hours on this :D weekdays about 1 hours or perhaps 30 minutes :(. For the lulz, what DE works on the polaris linux kernel? fluxbox?

EDIT: Camcorder or camera? Cuz camcorder will take too long ;) And is it possible that I use some zImage or NBH of somebody's to get a rough image of stuff i can edit and crap?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
Camcoder :-)

You need to start from kernel sources, latest working version with camera is in 2.6.25 in 2.6.32 it never works.

Wifi dummies read this
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pl0ppy:
Yeah lol, I'm a master at both Windows and Mac OSX, have quite some experience in Linux, and I still can't get wifi working. Maybe that 'dummy' thread can help me, once i finsh reading it. Kind of embarassing, if you think about it :D
