Hi All,
Since most of us have been moving to US Tmob and GB froyo, the blur launcher has been tweeked and made to work like a gem. It is really smooth and I do not find necessity to go to Launcher Pro.
Walter had previously put out a themed blur launcher like this one for his MS2 ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743372
Unfortunately it cannot be used on these froyo builds. Can anyone please theme the stock launcher please?.
I tried many times on all froyo builds to make the themed launcher work but could not do so. Walter had given a zip file to install it from CWM but that kept bricking the phone and I had to use alternate launcher to keep the phone running and flash an sbf.
Can anyone do that pleaaase ?
Im with you on this one too. I actually like the original blur launcher but it would be nice if you could actually change the assignment of the right hand button to go to text messaging or setttings etc..
Wondering where walter is these days. He can help if he sees this.

Can anybody help me with this
I use adw launcher and it has many themes in the market! Hope this helps also zedge has good wallpapers for the streak its a nice app
Me too have not seen any direct ready_to_install themes.
You have to go through the Launchers.
ADW
Go
Pro Launcher​You install either of these and you can download themes for these from the market.
But, I think you need to buy them, to be able to theme and all other stuff (thats bit advanced, like settings, etc.)
Cheers,
Sony.
have a look at the Screenshot thread (in theme and apps section)
and there people have written what they used/have_done to get the "theme".
It needs work to be done. not easy-peasy though.
But, the results are awesome!
I was wondering if you can run a tw launcher on the new comm rom call me weird but I like it better than the one in comm rom

I don't see why not... If you're just wanting the look I know Go Launcher Ex from the market has a touchwiz theme that looks pretty accurate and neat.

Well I remember in the thread the said flashing it left some issues im using ef for now though comm rom and ota did this funky thing with my cantact pics where they flashed and went crazy

hmm well a reflash and/or data wipe seems to fix a lot of bugs like that that I have with any rom im using... however I think one of the main reasons custom roms are made is to get rid of or modify stock touchwiz and the launcher. It might take a little extra work to get a touchwiz launcher to work with E.F. or ComRom, which I unfortunately can't help with. A theme seems like a suitable substitute that won't cause as many problems, so that's my recommendation

Supposedly FunkBot's TW 4.0 launcher has been updated to work with Comm Rom 2.0 (check his thread in Themes & Apps), but I've been having lots of crashes with it, particularly when trying to use my docks. If anyone has a link to a TW 3.0 launcher that works with Comm Rom, I'd love to hear about it; I like the debloat in Comm Rom, but the TouchWiz launcher design has grown on me quite a bit relative to the alternatives.
Is there anyway to add another icon dock without using launcher or install a new cook ROM?
We'll have to wait till someone makes a 5 icon TW available for us. I had one on the Cappy that I really liked. I forget the person that did it, but it was available via SGS tools.
Haven't tried it but TW4.5 should work. It was a bit buggy on some ROMs but apparently fr4gg0r finally updated it a few days ago. Just be sure to have a backup launcher in case.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the ICS Launcher (by Syndicate Apps) and the ICS theme (by Sonny Sekhon). Are they both the same thing aesthetically or is one more accurate? I've never seen ICS so I don't know how to tell?
the ics launcher you mention is a port of the launcher for use on gb and lower has the looks and almost acts like stock ics (but buggy ), a theme changes the appearance of the launcher eg adw launcher , changes the looks of the apps , but does not act like the launcher eg widget in drawer etc ...
the launcher you mention and the theme are two different items , themes are more for getting the appearance opposed to the functionality of ics launcher , the launcher is almost fully like ics ,so maybe ure better of flashing a ics rom oppsed to using the launcher or theme the two are pretty mediocre opposed to the real thing in my opinion , i have a ics rom on my phone runs ok ...
Ok. Thanks. It's good advice to get a ROM but unfortunately none of them for my phone have a working camera and that's crucial to me. I'll stick with the launcher.
Hello
I'm a big fan of Samsungs Hardware but never liked touchwiz. The hings that annoy me most are the launcher and the Email(Exchange) App.
Is there a way to use the Vanilla ICS pendants without switching completely to cyanogen (when it once will be available)? I would like too keep the few nice add ons by Samsung.
Thx for hints
You could try an alternative ICS launcher such as Nova https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en. Hope that helps some.
An alternative launcher will definitely get you away from much of the touchwiz experience but you will still be stuck with Samsung's email, calendar, etc apps. Take a look in the SGS3 Themes and Apps section. I believe someone there has created a flashable zip to replace the Samsung stock apps with the ICS ones.
Thanks both of you. Nova does the trick for now.
I also flashed the ICS Email but it did not want to work. Guess I'll wait for CM then.
cheers
