Can you install touchwiz over axura? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really do love the axura roms but I left to try other roms. Im currently using nerov3 with touchwiz and I just like the overall layout of it. Is there a way to install touchwiz launcher into newer versions of axura. I read about touchwizgtg but wasn't sure if it would work

There's a file in my thread at the bottom of the goodies section that installs both of the Nero v3 launchers. You could always unzip it and push them manually too.
EDIT: There's a link in my signature.

not exactly sure what to do. i unzipped it and i see theres a touchwiz apk. do i take that and put it into my phone and install it like an app?

I believe you just push it to system/app and reboot.

I have tried installing the GTG launcher on several of the new axura roms and when I did I started getting FC's on the com.phone something. When I removed it the FC would go away. Went back to JL5 for now.

It worked fine on Axura 2.2, but, these new ones he has released it has not worked for me. Give it a shot though. It is a pretty easy fix if it doesn't work. I used root explorer to put the file in system\app. If it causes FC's then just delete it. Seems like there are so many different variation's in these phones it might work for you.

I also tried to use root explorer and get the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Once i force closed it , the touchwiz launcher works but I will wait and see if anybody have this fixed,

Blurry mms FIXED for 2.2 TouchWiz Mms.apk

This is not the CM6 AOSP mms app. This is the stock TouchWiz Mms.apk. I just edited a couple files and the blurry mms issue is now fixed.
Not sure if this has been posted yet, but if not, then please, try it and enjoy.
Just flash the flashable.zip through clockwork and reboot.
This was built for ur Ov3, Correct ?

I have a modified aosp mms.apk in obsidian v3 right now. But this apk is the stock touchwiz mms that comes with our phone. However, I fixed it so there is no more blurry mms issue that all 2.2 roms have been experiencing.

No, when you flash this, it will replace it automatically.
^^ Thanks. As soon as booted back after the flash, battery dropped from 40% to 5%. Weird. but MMS works perfect and the TW MMS app is much better looking. Thanks Sombionix.

love the cm messaging app (i hate everything touchwiz lol). but it wasnt resizing my images for me. lemme know if theres a fix around for this please.
i flashed this one over for the time being and its working beautifully *Edit: App is working perfectly but it keeps forcing airplane mode*
first off, thank you som for fixing/adding this app, i hated the other messaging app and love the twiz one. thank you.
but one question, do you know why there is no smiley key in messaging like there was in eclair? there is a pointless enter button instead. in talk and voice, the smiley button is still there, it is silly, but i use it a lot, and would really love it back in messaging. any way to make that happen?
Worked just like u said, I mess the little green messaging icon tho, I guess u cant have ur cake and ice cream and eat it too.

Doubt this would be app related at all. I've been using the exact same mms.apk I posted here all day and haven't had any issues at all.

*EDIT: flashed it over gave me the airplane mode toggle but after 2 reboots it disappeared* working pefectly and i can actually send pics now, lol. thanx again Som
Will this be replacing AOSP mms.apk that is in V3 in the next release?
Ok i would love this if it fixed the "error in server response" issue. Im still running the original upload of Stock 2.2 only because I dont have home internet. Anyway..the only app that works is the CM6 version. I dont know if its something inside the apk itself but ive tried every APN possible and they all work with cm6 and none work with TW MMS. I love the TW but I dont know what it is with my phone and the TW MMs but Ive never had the blurry issue... Any ideas?
Thanks. This worked for me. Much better now.

[Q] Which Rom are you using on your Vibrant?

Just curious with all the options that are available, Which ROM is on your Vibrant and why do you like it?
Stock JK2 because there is no "give and take" and I can customize it to my liking.

Put this in q/a right now
Onyx V3 -- mostly because the install instructions were super easy and I really like the black theme. don't like touchwhiz, so I sided with Onyx over Obsidian
I prefer Bionix for 2.1 ROM, and been using McNut for the 2.2 ROM...
But after trying Masters Axura 2.0.2 I found my new favorite! I love the look and feel of it.
I now run Axura 2.0.2 with eugenes kernel#802 and Ryanza's one click lag fix and ive never been happy with my phone. 2000+ quadrant benchmarks and 17mflops. You should give it a try.
My Custom ROM is...
AOSPISH_JK2_v1.1
Love this ROM! It's clean, fast, and everything works without a single problem.
w00t
I use a rom called the general section made by xda, you should try it.
I guess this is in the wrong place. to those of you that answered thanks. to anyone else, how do I move this to the correct location? Didn't mean to break the rules, just trying to learn from this great community.

if you're going to do a thread like this why not make it a poll?
the best rom i use
Axura 2.0.3 the best rom for my vibrant ever 100 plus
Great idea! seeing that this is my 1st thread, this is what I came up with. but I love the idea of a poll, maybe I'll try that in the right location. thanks.
I prefer ROMs with better battery life. Now it's Obsidian V3 - 0.2-0.4% per hour in sleep.
Thanks Lorendoll Battery life is important to me too
Currently using obsidian v4 (Snagged it before it was taken down. Works great for me, but will probably reflash when it goes back up.)
I use ADW Launcher because I hate tw, but I find i'm addicted to some of the samsung apps that won't run on onyx.

2 Q's (multitouch keyboard and steel)

1) I'm running eugene's macnut R12 right now. fantastic rom, but unfortunately the droid multitouch keyboard wasn't included in R12 (as opposed to a few previous versions)
I'm in love with that keyboard. I'm so much faster using that then swype, believe it or not. I've seem other threads on the keyboard but nothing I've seen seems to work with my phone?
Anyone have an APK or anything to help me out with getting multitouch on my phone?
2) Not much of a question, but why is Steel internet browser so underated? I've been using it for months. Since my mytouch 3g, it's been such a solid browser.
I pulled a MT KB .apk from a Rom. It works on R12, but the fonts on the keys is hella small. Try pulling it from a previous Rom or I could send you one.

Pardon my ignorance, but who's gothroid?
Bumping this.
Went through the .zips from the Droid multitouch threads I found on this site, no luck with them ;(
The last thing from making me love Macnut R12 is not having the keyboard with it, halpp!
tried pulling the droid multitouch apk from Macnut R10 and installing it on my phone.
it attempts to install it but after a few seconds it says its unsucessful ;(
Steel is my go to browser. Most comfortable and lite for me. But I haven't seen an update in ages. I think it's a little orphan appy.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.

Did you try installing it like a system app (through root explorer) or a normal 3rd party apk?
The Droid X MT keyboard that works for the vibrant, both 2.1 and 2.2 has been posted here. The 2.2 is skinned to look like the samsung keyboard only, but 2.1 has both the original and samsung look.

Hi,
I'm not sure why you lost apps, but I can guarantee its not my zip. Here's exactly what my zip file does:
Code:
delete SYSTEM:app/LatinIME.apk
copy_dir PACKAGE:app SYSTEM:app
copy_dir PACKAGE:lib SYSTEM:lib
and if you look inside those folders, /system/app only has dxkeyboard.apk and /system/lib only has libjni_latinime.so
If you run any of the new 2.2 kernels from eugene or team whiskey that have been built from hacked i9000 source, that might be causing your problems. I've had /data wiped just by rebooting into recovery using various 2.2 kernels.
Good luck, cheers, =)
^^ im not upset at all bro, you dont know how happy i am to have multitouch on this rom.
i undrstand having a custom rom some random/weird stuff happens, i just need to run titanium backup more often thanks!

[MOD][LAUNCHER] TouchWiz 4.0 for KB5 Froyo [EDT][5.10.2011]

it means for everyone with a modded power menu, it wont change it.
like if you have a custom rom and hold the power button it has more options like "reboot", "download", etc.

TW Launcher Force Close

Can someone please help me to figure out how to install a 5X6 or 5X5 TW Launcher on my Note? I've downloaded every SecLauncher2 for android and I've used root explorer to push them all thru system/apps, changed permissions etc. Nothing works on my end. It all force closes. I'm running AOCP 4.6. Is there something I'm missing? The other launchers work fine but I prefer TW Launcher. I've replaced the stock launcher and and when I reboot the phone, Touchwiz unfortunately stops not allowing me to access it. Any help would be appreciated. If even be willing to try a rom with that launcher already included. I'm desperate..lol

Just install a new rom because obviously this one is not too stable on your phone. Or maybe factory reset your phone. Pull the battery out while it is on. Might help a little. If I helped, thank me.

First, the TouchWiz Launcher is a part of the TouchWiz framework of Samsung's semi-fork of Android. So getting a TouchWiz Launcher to work would mean running a stock based Samsung ROM. FlappJaxx's FJ-Build 12, Novena or BlackStar, for example, would be able to use the TouchWiz launcher because they are all based off the 4.0.4 Official TouchWiz ROM. It won't work on AOCP, because it is based of AOSP with CM and AOKP features.
Second, there is a work around to having the TouchWiz look on your phone while using AOCP 4.6. Download a Android stock based launcher; I prefer APEX, but I believe it will work with NOVA as well. While searching for the launcher in the Play Store, you can also go ahead and search for themes. Apex TouchWiz will more than likely yield the fastest result. Load the launcher up, go into settings and hit theme and then select TouchWiz and customize it from there. You will now have the look and "feel" of the TW Launcher without having constant foreclosures whenever you try to use it.

What you are attempting is difficult at best...
Touch wiz launchers are coded to rely on their dedicated framework found in Samsung TW roms.
The only method I'm aware of, to use the launcher, is by using the roms that include it.
There are several TW roms available, and they can be easily stripped down to a lean and effective build by simply using your favorite root explorer app.
Dumping the bloat is already done for you when using the Canadian versions of the TW build.
You can also use the N7005 builds we have too.
See the super everything thread in the general section, and I'm sure you will find a rom to suit your liking.
Read the threads carefully, as they include important information.
Enjoy, and happy flashing ....g
