I have pulled the LG launcher from Stock 2.1 and de-odexed it for use with ROMs such as SOFT-MOD 2.1, Quarx and EleganceSwift. This MUST be used as a system app, otherwise you will encounter FCs on launch. Remember to put this .apk in /system/app and set the following permissions:
User: Read Write
Group: Read
Others: Read
And then reboot your phone, you should be greeted with the home selection screen.
Known bugs:
The launcher FCs on Android 2.3
When the "LG Home" wallpaper category is selected, the launcher also FCs.

I wonder, if the launcher requires lge-res.apk, would the lge-res.apk work on 2.3?
I need to play around with this. Also, on 2.1 when you choose the "LG Home" wallpapers the launcher crashes.
Jack
i dont think so because i download the lg-res.apk awhile ago and still got fc's it probably something silly like a xml file need tweaked are something
Heyho guuuys =3

Is it possible to port the Galaxy S II lockscreen to the Vibrant?

Yes it is.
Edit: Hit thanks.

With time I'd imagine alot of the gs2 stuff will start to be compatible with our phones. Just wait out a bit longer and see how everything plays out.
It's not the lockscreen but theirs the modded launcher in the development section. Check that out.

Theirs also one on the i9k theme section, but theirs force closes on me personally.

First boot takes a while.
The wallpaper in the preview pics is heavily compressed, make sure to download this one instead:

This is only for trigger now, once I'm happy with it I'll start porting it to other roms.
I recommend setting the number of pages to three in the launcher settings.

looks like there's a notification popup also. I'll get to themeing that once the update is posted
Is this compatible with Bi-Winning?

Thats some sweet stuff.
I like it but might I reccommend instead of doing all Grey style for the dock icons. Maybe do a Blue and Grey/black like they did for the Market apk icon. I feel like that would fit the Trigger Rom theme alot more. Its all Black/Grey with a Blue off-set.
Just an opinion. Like the idea though.
I'd do it but I cant seem to find the dock icon's .png in the zip file to do it myself for some freaking reason.
I dont know if im crazy or what haha
That sounds really cool but i plan to do an entire black theme for trigger so this is just one part.
Each apk I included in system/app contains an ic_something png which is the icon for the application.
All you do is extract the apk search the res folder for ic_ then locate the image and theme it whatever color you want.

Big thanks!
I thought I looked through there. I'll look again, I obviously missed it haha.
after changing it, how do we place back into .apk format?
Thanks dude always wondered this haha
Theres a long way and an easy way.
Long way apkmanager
Easy way open the apk in winrar.
Drag the res folder out.
Make edits.
Drag the res folder back into the apk still open in winrar.
Click ok.
Close winrar.
As long as you leave everything the way you left it before you started, it should work.

Are the widgets working in this version? didn't see anything about it in the Op. Being 2.2 would that version work on NextGen? I don't mind the theming
It should work. I can make a nextgen specific flashable if people want. maybe after I finish v2...
actually that would be awesome, just so the theming matched. If EDT or TW release any patches to fix the widgets we'd be able to flash over this right? Might as well. NopCodex may be a while yet putting out the TW version
works fine on NextGen, this is strange though, when setting the default home screen the numbers are one off, like if you want page four to be your home screen you have to tell it 3 you set it to 4 and hit home it goes to 5, weird. and it shows program monitor in the widget picker (which is effing BA!!)but when you pick it it says problem loading widget. ****ing tease lol
So on the original kb5 rom thread the widgets are working now.
I'm wanting to port Honeycomb 3.1 simply because of the whole Touchwiz UX UI... Would it be possible? And if so who's willing to help? And If it isn't is there a way I can port the TouchwizUX launcher to our devices running ics?
Well, I and bobrien made a port (not so good) of TouchWiz UX for the Amazon Kindle Fire here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590246
It's kinda' laggy and only works with the DPI of 120(on the Kindle Fire), but it is working on CM9/ICS. Try if it works!
What version of Galaxy Player are you talking about? (4.0 or 5.0).
And about Honeycomb, well, there a problem with source code, Google did release the code for HoneyComb, but only when ICS had came out, so most devs skiped Honeycomb, like Cyanogen (no CM8) .
It's not impossible, but as long as ICS is still in work, I don't think HoneyComb will be on Galaxy Player!
Update: Not working with 190 DPI on Phone UI CM9/AOKP Rom, changing it to 120 or use the Tablet UI may work it out!

Try DPI 132 instead, it works on Motorola Xoom with this DPI, or look into the XML, maybe something it's in there telling you what's the condition for it to run.
There shouldn't be problem with JUST the launcher, but if you want the whole TouchWiz, you have to port the ROM then since TouchWiz runs on framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk.
Changing the device may do some harm to your device, so BACKUP before doing this, unfortunately I let my friend borrowed my Player, or I would have help!
The standard DPI on the AOKP Tablet UI Rom is 120
The right DPI for Tablet UI on GP 5.0 is 128 I believe.

Go into the AndroidManifest file in the apk, there should be a condition for it to run in that file, custom the Player to that condition and you're good to go!
Remember that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 wasn't shipped with TouchWiz UX at first, so there isn't any standard for TouchWiz.

I didn't see anything. What exactly am I looking for? Could you take a look at the files and point me to what I need to change? and when I tried to edit the file it wouldn't let me. I'm using root explorer. It allows me to extract the manifest file but I can't put it back in the original launcher file :/ help please.

moved to general - if you get it working then dev is the right place
Hey, just took another look at the xml files and it seems Galaxy Player CANNOT be compatible with TouchWiz UX using ANY Rom!
Why? It requires a xlarge screen, which we don't have, tablets (for real) like the Fire and the Xoom have an xlarge screen.
So it can't be running! UNLESS Somebody Port it to a medium-large screen (not really sure what we have, will take another look) OR Mod it to this screen (won't look real though)!
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
