Hello,
I have seen on the Motorola Droid X2 forum a thread where it says that TouchWiz 4.0 can be used on the Moto DX2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1237955
So I thought maybe we can have this on SGTab 10.1, like having the Asus TF Launcher, or the Xoom launcher, or Toshiba, or etc... since I've seen many users posting that they don't like the TW UX for SGT. And I think someone posted the Asus Launcher before, so maybe we get different launchers from different tablets.

Hi,
When I played with the note the first time, I noticed all the crapware and the lag, but I figured I would just root it, get rid of that and have the same experience as my nexus one but faster and better.
Is there actually a way to do this with the note? For example, I've noticed people install other launchers from the market for a better experience than touchwiz. I tried a couple and found them inferior to what was on my nexus one. I also think the browser, the texting app and other things are way better on the nexus one.
How do I just get the generic android versions of these things? (not install other stuff from the market)
Thanks!
I believe what you are referring to is AOSP or basically vanilla android. Unfortunately you would have to wait for CM9 or ICS to come to the GNote.
Hello everyone,
I did a little research before opening new thread,but I couldn't find anything simiral to my question.
So,my question now!I am planning to buy an Android Device.And yes like most of the people I am in a dilemma.Now before you hasten to answer my question let me explain this : I am not looking for an answer according to hardware specs or any kind of benchmarks.What I am looking for is the following :
I really like the stock look of the ICS(yes the one that Galaxy Nexus has).So I was wondering if there is anyway to get rid of the Touchwiz from Galaxy SGSIII.After a small Google research that I did it seems that a user is not able to get rid of Touchwiz unless it replace it with another Launcher like the Launcher Pro.So what I found out that the only way to do this is to flash the phone with a custom rom,which will not contain any OEM launchers or any other third party launchers.To make this clear once and for all I am not lloking any kind of launcher that will make SGS III look like Galaxy Nexus's stock launcher,I am looking only for the stock launcher only.
So I was wondering if there is any custom rom to get rid of touchwiz and leave all the other goodies that Samsung has included like the Smart-Stay(the one that tracks your eyes in order to keep the screen on),All share,etc,... in SGS III or the only way is to buy the Nexus?
If you buy the SIII you can simply install Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher (Both available in the Play Store).
Both those launchers look exactly like the one found on the Galaxy Nexus, just with more options for customization.
Installing the launcher will hide the Touchwiz Launcher, but leave other parts of Touchwiz/Samsung software intact (Such as the smart-stay feature, S Voice, etc.).
Okay I have two questions.First,is it possible with these two launchers to have the three buttons(back button,home button and the multitask button) like the Nexus has?(Yes I know that the SGS III has the same three dedicated buttons,but I really love those three Nexus buttons)Second,are this launchers consume too much Ram or they will work without lags like touchwiz?
Okay,I know that I am not allowed to do this,but I am posting this to give to my thread a little push.Yes I know I am not the only memebr in this forum and there are 4 milllion other members.
use the search button maybe some devs at the s3 forum made one already
dude people did compare these two phones many times already.
and... unless you are a higher ranked, people most likely avoid you.
the s3 is sexy, big and yes i had hands on. Gnex is also sexy and yes i had hands on. The s3 is a little more advance so it gets a plus, but the galaxy nexus would be my choice because i look in the long run. Gnex gets updates first and its google's flagship phone as iphone is to apple.
Gnexs are coming next week preloaded with jelly bean while some people dont have ics yet. If you are like some people who can afford to buy a new phone every month then get the s3, but if you plan to go the two years get gnex
So the S2 is out of the question? The S2 probably has more custom rom than both put together (or it would at lease be close )
So my first post! I'm on this website all the time and having had 10+ droids its time I made an account!
Any who, I posted this thread to say one of the reasons I bought the note was because the huge keyboard, after the 4.0.4 update Sammy changed their keyboard and added numbers which made it too small for me lol, anyone else prefer the old Sammy keyboard, is there a way I could get it again?
I haven't tried the Sammy 4.0.4 keyboard, as I've been on CM9 since before the official ICS update.
I suggest you search 'ICS Keyboard' in the play store. It's basically the AOSP keyboard which is much better than the Sammy one from GB.
Try out Swiftkey. In my opinion it is the best keyboard for Android.
I prefer the stock ICS/JB keyboard to the samsung one. There is less lag and the voice recognition works better. Try "rapid keyboard" from the market which is basically the JB keyboard ported to be compatible with ICS.
change to the android keyboard already built in and be done with it
The Samsung keyboard has the S-Pen button on it. I want a Samsung keyboard for that reason. The ICS one is smaller, I want the larger buttons from the Gingerbread keyboard. Anybody know how to get this, preferably on a non-rooted device?
The keyboard is one of the many reasons I went back to GB.
Agreed. I miss that keyboard. SwiftKey is pretty good as well.
After updating my note to the ICS I still prefer the old keyboard. I don't use the newer one.

Click to expand...

But use "smart keyboard pro " with ICS ....g
Hi guys, seeing there are many good roms for ray thanks to the great developers present here in XDA. My friend is using galaxy y and i switch here and there sometimes, so i noticed this every rom developed for galaxy y has some difference in them even though they are generated from touch wiz, for example transparent interface and other stuff. Why all the roms for ray come with the sony or nova or apex launchers only and not any customized launchers and in xperia x8 section i saw htc port for xperia. So guys if you are planning to develope roms further for ray pls try to implement any one of these like sense,touchwiz ports etc...
thanks guys for reading this and i hope someone develops a rom with combined functionality cheers mates
Well, I had a Xperia X8 in the past (I killed it by trying to unlock the bootloader lol), and the "HTC port" is not more than Android Gingerbread 2.3.7 with a skinned launcher and official HTC wallpapers. Somebody said that it was not possible to port real Sense because X8 hardware limitations.
However, ROMS like CM7 were very well ported, before destroying my X8 I could use a CM7 based ROM (I think it was GingerDX) with everything working (even in locked bootloader), like AOSP lockscreen, moving apps to SD and fake multitouch (both things not possible with SONY official stock ROM for X8), etc.
Now, the reason of releasing ROMs with Xperia official Launcher is because most developers and users in this section are SONY fans I guess (that's why we got a SONY device). A friend of mine owns a Samsung Galaxy and touchwiz is not a big deal, it has some kind of nice stuff but at the end it's not 100% customizable. I mean, I didn't see anything awesome on it. In fact, my friend saw my Ray with JellySandwich and liked more than his own phone and now he wants to skin touchwiz to make it look like NXT lol.
I've read some comments about Sense, some people claim it's heavy and that's why they want to get rid of it and install AOSP over their HTC phones, but I exactly don't know if this is true 'cause I've never used one, but I can tell you that things from Sense like lockscreen and music player look good, I'd like to have them on my Ray.
In any case, I think Xperia developers should also have a Samsung or HTC device to start playing with it and try to port that stuff to Xperia, but honestly I don't see any big interest on it. I mean, currently ROMs are wonderful enough, JellySandwich, IceCream Pureness, Hybrid, etc...
Well for me I don't include those stuff cuz I choosed sony and I bought sony. That generally means I like sony.
Sent from my ST18i using xda app-developers app
So I got this Galaxy S7 clone a month ago, and I thought whoever made this counterfeit probably forgot to replicate some of the stuff in it like the browser and keyboard, being those two were lifted off an earlier Android version. I was wondering if there are apps taken off similar clones that resemble the real deal, or if there are other applications which can be themed to look like their Touchwiz equivalents.
