There's more to TouchWiz than the launcher. It does some stuff nicely. Swipe to call/text on contacts, brightness change from the notification bar, notification bar toggle. Better camera app, video player, hardware divx/mkv playback etc.
[Nexus S General] evank418:
Pad me in the back while I throw up
[Nexus S General] Ibanez33:
Yup definitely bad.. Its joint first on my list of bad things happen to my phone...

1. electromagnetic pulse / touchwiz

2. stolen

3. break it

and yes I do have a galaxy s and have tried using touchwiz, it just feels like a poor implementation of a bad idea... it heavily borrows influence from ios without actually including any of the good parts...

stilll like the phone mind...
[Nexus S General] dapoktan:
what he said... the video codecs are great.. i wish the nexus s will have some divx/mkv support.. and will it have an Allshare type DLNA program? then again.. whats the point of streaming videos from my pc, if there's no codec support...

so hard to find a 'perfect phone' :p
[Nexus S General] BodaciousDrake:
No such thing, unfortunately. Even if it was "perfect", it would only be perfect for a month or two until it was obsolete. At least it feels that way to me sometimes. If the new Snapdragon will really do what they claim it will do (Engadget article) we're going to see some really neat-o stuff before long. Of course it will probably be 2012 before we see a phone with that...

...but I digress. Reading through this thread, I think I just figured out what it is I don't like about the TouchWiz launcher - it's the iOS likeness. I think that's my biggest problem with it. I remember the first time I used it thinking "if I had wanted an iPhone, I would have bought an iPhone." But I do like some of the other features - besides the launcher - that y'all mentioned.

- My mostly-irrelevant-to-the-actual-question-that-was-asked two cents. I try not to do that very often....
[Nexus S General] Kubernetes:
Yeah I don't get the real rabid hate. Some people really like it, many of us don't, but I don't get why people act as if it's objective truth that Touchwiz is bad. It's just a matter of taste; hell, people here worship AOSP vanilla Android launcher, but there's nothing that makes it objectively superior. People just like this idea of a "pure" "Google Experience." To be honest I laugh my ass off when I read that stuff. It's like they're on a pilgrimage or something.
[Nexus S General] alain57:
if it is for : horizontal app drawer, adw can do it too

if it is for moving apps like on iphone (no alphabetical sorting) then try "go launcher"

its a free launcher, with a lot of new feature that will come out soon
[Nexus S General] kolyan:
What do people hate about touchwiz ? just interested to know...... Everytime I come across this type of argument, most people have NO clue what Touchwiz is.....usually stupid newbies claim that they dont like the looks of launcher which is replaceable in a matter of 2 seconds to ANY launcher you wish

I mean, do you hate the built-in switches in notification bar....maybe support for divx and xvid codecs, maybe the best music player i have used to date with support of folders, 3d sound, and equalizers ? or maybe the fact that Touchwiz on top of stock Android OS also has additional features in settings menu, or maybe 4 different lock screens including stock Android lock screen and VERY useful puzzle lock screen with missed call, gmail, and sms notifications....? Perhaps you hate the dialer which is also the best i have used, even better then Sense, which you can control from notifications. Oh, I know you must hate Touchwiz because camera application has every option there is in compact digital camera, and home and car docking stations apps ? <<< did i get it all ? probably not because Touchwiz is loaded with **** lots of features over stock OS.

oh and i am using launcher pro plus with FULL Gingerbread theme.....so you cant even tell if its Gingerbread or Froyo
[Nexus S General] Daneshm90:
Ah "The Grass is always greener on the other side"

Ppl with touchwiz r like i want pure aosp

Ppl with aosp r like i want touchwiz

:p
[Nexus S General] suhas_sm:
hahaha... Nice 1 ;-)
[Nexus S General] bajica:
Totally agree with you :cool:

EDIT: and only thing i dont like (no homescreen choice) is fixed with TouchWizGTG Launcher v1.1.1 (five icons no icon backgrounds)
[Nexus S General] kolyan:
Use Launcher Pro. and then buy the Plus version. Its MUCH better then TouchWiz and Stock launchers. Ton of custom features, and Plus versions also has VERY nice widgets for msging, facebook, calendar, people, tweeter, etc....
[Nexus S General] numberoneoppa:
I would recommend just getting an SGS instead as the hardware is pretty much identical.
[Nexus S General] BA_Flash_GOD:
hah nice

I despise twiz as well and cannot wait for a Nexus S port to Galaxy S! I'd imagine the phone will run really come to life without running two launchers (Twiz + Launcher Pro/Whatever your choice). Thing is though, since they're both made by samsung, have pretty much same specs (GOOG just wanted to pop on the SAMOLED success from Sammy) but I have to admit I like the look of the N*S a bit better than our galaxy i9000 variants! (i9000 look exactly like iPhones hah *tear) Plus... N*S has an LED FLASH lacking on the Galaxy S. Wouldn't mind one in 850 band
[Nexus S General] ScottyNuttz:
I also appreciate some touchwiz features. For instance, the app screen is cool and the music player is solid. I would like to keep it around if 2.3 ever gets ported to the Captivate.
[Nexus S General] kolyan:
No, its not gonna run faster or slower even if u have 5 launchers installed. Launcher is a simple app. And u can keep only one and uninstall the other if u wish. Nero rom comes with one Stock Google launcher and full Gingerbread theme for example
[Nexus S General] The_Double:
Touchwiz is NOT just the launcher, it also has a better music player, video player, loads of video codecs, cool 'powerwidget' in the notifications bar, bounce effect lists, and more goodies. Only the launcher sucks.
[Nexus S General] HazzBazz:
This is great, but I honestly much prefer plain ol' android.

You dont want a port, trust me. Nexuses will be known for speed and reliability and all-round yumminess because no one is messing around trying to differentiate their marketing campaigns and content provision. Google get it right and it's just getting better and better, even Sense is crap in comparison.
[Nexus S General] derek4484:
LOL, that was the exact same thing I thought when I read the thread topic.

So there is actually one person out there that likes Touchwiz....
[Nexus S General] kolyan:
Every person who used it and understands extra features, likes it. That's why some features have been ported to CM already I believe.

If anyone prefers stock look, apply a theme. Most Touchwiz looks is just a basic theme, stock android is also a basic theme......
[Nexus S General] Samzebian:
lmao I love this. When I saw the Nexus s vids about how it has this 'pure google experience' I was like really? :confused: They couldn't just say "the stock android interface with the latest updates"?

I also never understood why everyone thinks the stock android interface is so superior to every other launcher. I've tried stock, I've tried Cyanogenmod, and I prefer HTC sense on my evo. Of course I'm not running a stock rom, using bakedsnack!
[Nexus S General] Ben4608:
I have to say I'm a big fan of touchwiz and can't wait for the port... stock touchwiz was slow but the GTG mod with the 5 icon dock and transparent launcher background is screaming fast... thing I like most about it is being able to customize my launch and organize my apps... I don't like a lot of home screens and what not and so far touchwiz is supior with that... with the GTG mod you get the speed, customizable screens, and pinch so you can scroll through your sorted apps... personally I love it

Can't wait for the port!!!
[Nexus S General] MikeyMike01:
I propose a trade.

TouchWiz

for

Working GPS

No Lag

Gingerbread

Front Facing Camera

Camera Flash

Updates from Google

Deal?
[Nexus S General] Ben4608:
I agree and exactly why I'm writing these posts from my nexus s :D haha....

Still would be nice to play around with touchwiz on here tho...
[Droid X General] foursteels:
I downloaded two ringtones from mabilo ringtones to my phone. When I go to the sounds setting and look at the various ringtones one of them shows up five times and the other twice. I am rooted and used astro file manager to try and locate these additonal files. They are nowhere. I found the ringtones on the phone itself and they don't exist there and I found the ringtones on the sd card in the media folder and there is only one copy there. At one point I deleted them through mabilo and when I reinstalled, it just added another entry to what already appeared in sound settings ringtone option. When I remove the sd card from the phone, none of these downloaded ringtones work, eventhough they still appear ont he ringtone list. Any idea why I'm seeing multiple entries for the same ringtone or how to get rid of them?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madhouze:
Hey All,

So I used z4root and got temp root... which is great, I get into TB and it confirms that root permissions have been granted.

When I try to restore an app, the device reboots (what seems like a soft reboot to me - since I don't even loose root privileges)

I want to restore a bunch of my apps and their settings... so this is kind of important for me....

I've read on archosfans some posts where people said that they were able to restore with TB after temp root, so am a bit confused.

does anyone have any idea?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madhouze:
Well...

I figured it out, if anyone is interested...

All I had to do was to get busybox through TB.

Click the "problems?" button, and choose to download busybox.

Once I did that - no more problems.

I been running froyo since dk28 dropped. Everything seems basically fine. I don't have any issues with gps or anything. I came from di18, re-odined di18 again then went to dk28. My problem is my signal keeps dropping in and out even if I don't move anywhere and have great service. It happens at least once every 1-2 minutes. Besides being anoying to look at, its killing my battery trying to look for service. I was using epic experience, now running superheroes. Is anyone else having this issue, or has came up with a remedy.

[Epic 4G General] id_twin:
Although I'm getting great battery life - Went twelve hours today with semi-heavy usage, and only dropped to 35% remaining in battery life. I too am experience signal issues. My cell stand-by is only running about 10-20% of my battery usage, but 54% or greater is cell stand-by with out signal. I'm going to do a full wipe and flash another rom and see if this doesn't resolve the issue.
[Epic 4G General] llontop.m:
Me Too!!!

This happens to me too. everything was fine when I first purchased the phone, But as soon as I rooted and flashed custom roms this problem has popped up. My recent flash was via odin and the DK28 leak. Everything worked great on the rom but the signal would also go in and out like you're experiencing. So I thought maybe flashing back to stock DI18 would fix it. It has for the most part, but once in a while it'll do it but not as frequent with the custom roms . I'm waiting for official froyo to come out, let's see what happens, maybe they'll have an update for the modem or something ...

I just purchased my inc today, coming from a d2. Iv read a lot about battery life not being so hot in the past but don't see much current feedback. So my question is since the recent patch update how has everyones battery life been, better or about the same? I'm loving this phone but the battery life for me will kill me wanting to keep it, iv been looking at the fascinate to so...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenHolliday:
Managing programs and settings will cut down on battery life. The new update didn't see to make the battery "last longer" but it did make it charge much much faster.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmc2543:
So what about 2.2 in general did it really do anything worth mentioning for battery life or does it still suck pretty bad?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenHolliday:
Battery life still sucks pretty bad. Only thing I noticed about Nov update was more bloatware and battery charging is about 1% per minute vs the forever and a day prior to update.

Setting screen brightness lower and timeout sooner as well as stopping unneeded apps will improve battery life. Least that's the was it seems to me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvit:
One big win on my batt life was choosing an undervolted kernel, like hydrakernel v0.5.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
hydra kernel is your best bet, the only thing I can say is to monitor your 3g. turn it to mobile always-on, turn that setting off. its in mobile data in settings, wireless networks.. this will turn 3g off while the phone is sleeping. I get 2 days easily with this method with the stock battery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmc2543:
I mght have to try that advise out then. Iv read about the data always on thing, my only concern was receiving email and then vvm (I use g voice). But I already rooted just have to read up on everything a bit more, HTC and MOTO are two way different areas when it comes to rooting it seems.

Flash via PDA in Odin. Use at your own risk, you will be unrooted and fully bloated DI01 after flash. Good for returning to stock, or fixing your breaks.

Please note:

While this should remove Voodoo 4/5 (and anything else), you should take all other paths to remove it first.

Flashes:

Modem

Kernel

System

Recovery

Formats:

Dbdata

Data

Cache

Does not include:

Recovery.

You can get recovery as a separate package if you really need it, from the stickied Odin thread.

I used it because after rooting/voodoo and jt clean rom install. 3 days everything was golden, then the phone started rebooting, I tried restoring a backup from before the rom install and thats when it Fc the crap out of me. I read through a crap ton of posts (yours/others) and tried using odin to remove voodoo and then take it back to stock. After that didn't work and I lost cwm I tried your new .tar file as a last resort... I have run it twice and still get the same problem. phone attempts to boot but doesn't get past samsung screen and then it skips to a format/data screen and says wipe_data failed.
