Hi Everyone, New user to XDA forums.
I want to change the Default home screen on my SG2 to screen number 4(I have 7 home screens)
My Current SG2:
2.3.4
PDA: I9100UHKI2
PHONE: I9100UHK1
CSC: I9100UUBKI2
The phone is Rooted.
I know the default.prop file is on the root folder and not in /system. However, when I use "root explorer" to edit the default.prop and I add the lines -
#sets TouchWiz Launcher default screen
ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen=3
#sets TouchWiz Launcher screen count
ro.csc.homescreen.screencount=6
I save the the file and reboot the phone. But the problem is, the default.prop deletes the lines I added. At this point, I'm kind of lost here.
I know alot of people will say, use a different Launcher, but I prefer to use the touchwiz. I have no problems with it and it works for me. I have search all the threads regarding this topic, however I have yet to see a solution to this issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
Did you try TouchWiz 4.5? There's more preferences for you to play with using TouchWiz 4.5 by Fr4gg0r

Thanks for replying. No I haven't tried TouchWiz 4.5. Is there an official version that came out from Samsung?
The only version I see is - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883
Yes install that one, it is installed in most custom ROMs nowadays. TouchWiz 4.5 is a modified TouchWiz 4, so it is not official.

Hi guys,
I have been using in a more or less satisfying way the mentioned ROM, [wrong]KI5[/wrong] AHEM, KI3, under the darkyrom modification. I didn't quite like the glowy stuff, but anyway. I would like to have an upgrade, since I've read there are way newer versions already (gosh this moves fast!). So far I'm rather satisfied, but the contacts bother me a lot. I get a lot of FC whenever I try to modify anything within the contacts. So I want to change the ROM and (hopefully) get rid of the issue. I am currently doing a Titanium backup and CWM backup. So my questions go as follows:
1: If I chose Cyanogenmod, would I have any problem? I mean, I have root from CF-root if I'm not mistaken, and then now running darky rom. Is there any step I should follow, or can I just do an update.zip?
2: If I chose any other ROM (preferably the less customized possible, I basically go with GO Launcher and that's it), which one is the most recommended/stable etc? I prefer if it looks more android stock than touchwiz anyway.
PS: Does MHL work already on cyanogenmod?

All the information you need and more is available in the CyanogenMod 7 (w/ Gingerbread 2.3.7) for Galaxy SII Q&A thread, just follow the instructions in the first post carefully.
All the stock ROMs are in the [ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH1/2/3/4, KI1/2/3/4/8, KJ1/2 Download thread. If you don't want a stock ROM, browse through the rest of the ones on offer.

Q: What are the known issues?
A: Issues that I can remember:
- Video playback - some formats are not recognized, use an alternative app for video playback
- Camera - some modes don't work
- TVout, MHL
- FMRadio
- Issues when using the 2G/3G-Switch
- Volume issues (some report too high, others too low)

Thank you for the listing, I already saw it. It's fully stock, so I wasn't interested.
I also wanted an update on the situation of cyanogenmod which actually you gave me, so thank you.
But I also wanted recommendations of people, to see what ROMs they consider stable.
I would like to be able to modify both the icons and the off-screen animation so it looks like stock android (not touchwiz). Everything else I would like to keep it...So what would you recommend me?
So many ways to go...
Cm7 nightly looks good. Still waiting for release so if FCs are a problem you might not like it. I only got a few anyway but still.
Stock samsung is still best for me. Add jkay mods for sure will give you great themes and New lock screens and nice system features like CRT.
Go launcher ex
Go sms pro
Go contacts ex
All good and themed.
Good luck.

Hello,
For my previous phone (Galaxy S Vibrant), there was a package I was able to download and flash (via ROM Manager) for the default firmware (thought it'd work for any ROM), that gave me access to five different lockscreens such as the AOSP, Cyanogen, Rotary, etc.
This wasn't an app like Go Locker, but a replacement for some of the system files.
Is there a patch like this available for the Galaxy S II? I am really not a big fan of the default lockscreen.
Yes look for JKAY mod in themes and apps section
Hi, I would like to install ICS without Samsungs twLauncher but as close as possible to the default one that Nexus would have for example if not the actual default? Can anyone recommend the best rom to flash? Also not looking for a launcher like GO.
So yea basically Googles Android launcher and not the Samsung one
Thanks
Get the Wanam Blue ICS.
or if you dont want to change roms, maybe extract the apk from the wanamlite, or find a download for stock launcher and install it
Hello there
I am unable to post in dev section of the forums.
After using so many custom roms I went back to stock and atm I got NeatROM (deodexed stock). The only issue I have is when I switch to 182 dpi the dialer and launcher is messed up. Tried looking everywhere but I can't seem to find a modded version and custom roms have different dialers/launchers anwyay (not the samsung ones)
Anyone able to help with this?

ics stock dialer and launcher dont have multi dpi mod as of now. you have to use any other alternative launcher
What bala_gamer said, and you shouldn't have posted this to dev anyways. It's clearly a question.

You can use Go launcher + go contacts with go keyboard. Works fine
Hi guys,
in Germany we got the offical Update from Samsung, the XWLSD for 4.1.2..
The only thing what is missing here, is the shortcuts on the lockscreens. On my first try to flash the new FW over Odin i got a strange thing. I had a CSC error and with this error i got the shortcut option for the lockscreen. But the system was not stable and i flashed new and cleaned the system.
Now the shortcuts are missing and ive got no option for them in the lockscreen settings. It seems that samsung dont want this nice option for us in germany :/ .
Is it possible to activate the shortcuts on a other way? Would be awesome when we could get it on the XWLSD.
I searched for this problem a lot, but couldnt find anything that goes in this direction, and im not so safe in modding the system by my own.
Hope someone could help me/ others with this problem in the original FW from samsung.
Bueller? Anybody? I have the same issue. No shortcuts on my GS2 lock screen, and no option to add them. Stock 4.1.2 XWLSD rom for Germany (DBT), rooted using method one in this post, with Nova Launcher. I've tried using the TouchWiz launcher and still have no option to add shortcuts to the lockscreen.
