some versions of the Galaxy S II have different Messaging/Contact icons.. i can't figure out why they're different on the phone i bought from Expansys.. it's UK Generic and it's been updated to KE7 but the icons have been the same way out of the box
if no one can answer can i at least have theories as of why this could be?
attached screens of what im talking about compared to my own homescreen
i have the same icon as the 3rd picture . i think its cause the retailer SGSII has a different kernel cause correct me if i am wrong the ginger break won't work in the retailer SGSII for the same thing. not sure tho ..
I don't think it has anything to do with the kernel
That was pre-release software using the same icons from Touchwiz 3.0. Samsung updated them to the icons in the third picture before release. You'll see that the status bar is different in the second image too which is also true of Touchwiz 3.0

Hey, I saw the lockscreen on the 2.2 Samsung Firmware release for the international vibrants.... I like how that looks and how they jazzed it up a lot better.... Is there anyone here that can rip that and build it into an update.zip? Thanks!

Do you have a picture or a video?
Haven't seen the lockscreen for 2.2, but from what I read, the 2.2 lockscreen is kind of buggy in the leaked 2.2 build. I'd just wait for now.
Maybe put a request for Widge Locker to make one.
Heres a picture of the 2.2 Lockscreen, the "<<<<< >>>>>" arrows are a lit animation
If that's the only difference, I can easily wait

Why would they add arrows? That's lame. I sweep up. Wonder if they changed the puzzle lock also?
Sent using xda app....
Are you sure that's not just the lock screen that the international has always had?
The arrows are animated, lighting up from inside to out but i really dont think its worth the trouble to port this.
I have this on european galaxy s with 2.1 rom. And there is still the "puzzle" effect if u have some notification.
wasn't sure if this was in the 2.1 or not on the international version.
Bell Galaxy S Vibrant with stock 2.1 eclair, I already have the animated lit arrows.
The Touchwiz ICS leaked for AT&T this week doesn't have the stock google ICS calendar or launcher (boo..).
However I found they are on Google play as someone with an S2, frustrated at the touch wized ICS, has just extracted the code for the ICS Launcher and Calendar.
You do not need to root to add these. they are normal apps.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...iwiY29tLmNvbmNlbnRyaWNsaXZlcnMubGF1bmNoZXIiXQ..
These were developed and work on the S2.
I'm not on AT&T Note - I'm international - so I can't test on the touch wized ICS yet for Galaxy note.
Can someone please test these work on the Note with touch wiz ICS? Interested in knowing it they work with the full HD screen.
If it works this could mean the best of both worlds... Touch wiz and the best of stock ICS. I'm probably going to be proved wrong here...

Seems to work find on my GNote, but to be honest, the new Calendar that came with the ICS leak is more functional. It also integrate better with the S-Pen.

is it full screen? - can you post a screenshot maybe.
What's changed in the new touch wiz Calendar then, I thought it was the same as before apart from more widgets?
I can't get the S-Pen to read my handwriting.
seems to work
The ICS Calendar seems to work, I haven't fiddled with it too much but it loads, and the widget works on the homescreen and doesnt crash. I'll update if i runn into problems.
The is gallery works as well (for viewing)
Doesn't work well for setting wallpaper tho
Thur u arrrrrrgh
The ics launcher is a 4x4 Grid and leaves a lot of empty spaces on the edge and top.

Here's a screenshot.
The new ICS touchwiz Calendar looks the same as the GB version but adds pinch to zoom and attaching S-Notes. So it covers some of the features that were touted in the ICS calendar.
The handwriting recognition for the S-Pen has always sucked.
Thanks!
So happy to have the stock calendar- I don't like the look of the touchwizzed version...

Note the international GB version already has pinch to zoom
Here are the screenshots. The Calendar on the leaked version looks better and has better functionality for the Note i717.

I see what you mean. Its at the lower level I think the stock calendar has better functionality - the pinch to zoom is more powerful I think especially at the day level.
Also the month overview at least shows you how full your month is
plus whoever choose the large font size for the TW calendar that ,means every word is cut off ,should be shot.

i would love to be able to adjust the size and take up more of the real estate.. anyone know how ?
Is there an recent ICS Rom with touchwiz that has the contacts tab in the dialer or do i have to keep using a dial app to replace the stock dialer.
Ive noticed that either the samsung or the leaked roms that appear seem to fix bugs but not the obvious missing functions! Does any one know if there is going to be a fix?

Try XXLPW:
There is a battery % in notification bar in LPW ROM, by default disabled. Have to enabled by display settings.
LPW also have the 4th tab of contacts like GB in logs. Maybe that's what you want.

[q] Searching for the ultimate TouchWiz Mod [changing icons & grid without losses]
Hello there!
I would love to use TouchWiz as my main launcher, but I´m really not into its look, especially when it comes to the icons. So my question is: Is there any newer possibility to change the theme of the icons (maybe into a JB/ICS theme)?
I have seen that there are some mods to change the grid in touchwiz, but as mentioned there - the result is a loss of the screen buddy.
So are there some more people who would like to see a "jelly beanish TouchWiz", e.g. with JB Icons and a 5*5 or 6*5 grid without loosing its functions like page buddy? I´m sure that this would get some high download rates over here
Hi there
There just happen to be these two mods made for you...
First is AOSP icons pack: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930847
Here is the touchwiz laubcher mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923876
Hope it helps.

Hey Jamal, thx for your links!
AFAIK, the TouchWiz launcher you posted above suffers the Site Buddy Bug (he described it in the OP). Did you try it?

Not yet i am sincerely refraining from modding/flashing/rooting atm because of the withdrawal symptons i get
Ill try it when i get back in the rooting game again
I flashed the new hypernote rom yesterday that runs a modified touchwiz. It runs it at 5x6 which is exactly the size I was looking for. I was expecting pagebuddy to not work since I had used the above mentioned mod. To my surpirse, the 5x6 mod he uses works with pagebuddy too! So either I would suggest you try that rom out, or contact the developer and ask him what he did....
hello i know cm7 has a few lockscreens and many options but i dont like any of them! and the ones i do like give a really laggy slow animation when the icons zoom in at you...
im just wondering if theres any mods around that give me a few better options? i do like the MIUI lockscreen where you drag from the centre to either up down left or right to a different app each time, id love this if i could find it! iv tried it on MIlocker but its laggy and buggy as hell lol
can anyone link me to some new lockscreens that will work on my atrix? (cm 7.2 MROM)
thanks! :fingers-crossed:
There are many lockscreen apps available on Google Play. I've also seen some non-MIUI ROMs (can't remember which ones though) that have MIUI lockscreen added, so clearly that's possible too.

yeah iv tried a few and they all seem very laggy mainly because there apps and not built into the software, im guessing anyway :silly:
the only one iv tried that fast is holo locker, but im just really looking for one thats not an app and is flashable so its intergrated into the actuall rom

You can't do that. The default system lockscreen is deeply integrated with the core framework. That means not only you'd need a different flashable ZIP for each and every ROM out there, you'd need a different ZIP even for different versions of the same ROM.

okay i understand thank you.
Holo Locker is a good lockscreen replacement. You can also disable de built-in lockscreen from CM7.
Go to Cyanogenmod Configs > Tablet > Disable lockscreen

well, as ravilov stated, we cant "flash" a different lockscreen since its buried inside the framework, but i did once use a beautifull and FULLY customisable lockscreen that was and actually have an options to stick in memory, so triggering the 3rd party lockscreen is flawless and fluid as hell ! only cons : its a payable app !
Its called Widget locker -> go take a look on the market (every slider style is customisable from MIUI style to Sense to IOS
Google play store link to widget locker
