Hi.
I just installed official ICS on my SGS2 and must say i was a bit disapointed about the look.
I really dont like Touchwiz...
I have tried CM9 and Resurrection lately and like the look.
I can use Nova launcher on the official Rom,so i can create maps..
BUT i cant get the nice icons in the dock,like stock ics themed icons as Phone,contacts,SMS etc...
So i wonder how i can get those icons in the dock,like in Resurrection?
Hope somebody can tell me,cause now im stuck with Touchwiz icons in the dock and they are not nice.
Feel the same

Sammy just blew it. I feel the same, touchwiz made ICS look as last year stuff. I'm very disappointed with the upgrade and looking for a more ICSistic experience

Can someone make and CWM .zip Update that places the Stock Samsung ROM ICS Framework-res.apk file where must be?
I copy/paste another .apk over the stock one and now dont have UI, it just Boot Logo, and it freezes there ¬¬
And no, i dont wanna have to Format and erase everything and install the rom again
Anyone can help?
EDIT: I was thinking, CWM makes backup OF current Freeze after boot logo. So then i install the same rom again CLEAN, and then backup it > i select on CWM Restore the current Freeze after Boot logo rom with all data and apps and THEN i choose Advanced Backup and restore the Stock ICS backup but only the system? That will work?

Hi, I´m a proud owner of a Galaxy Ace, it has the stock rom 2.3.4 KPH but I want to apply some themes, at the beginning I did it but the phone won't boot normally and a loop cycle starts. I already flash the device with the same rom (stock 2.3.4 KPH) and I did the deodex to the device. So, finally, my question is, can I apply some themes to the phone without suffer the same issue?
It would be great to have the Meizu theme on my Galaxy Ace, thanks in advance and regards from México.
Did you mount /system?

You're just repeating a general solution without knowing why. Not mounting system will just make the flashing be void and no replacement of the framework files are made. Here, there is a bootloop meaning the theme is not built for 2.3.4/not made for Ace.
He probably flashed a 2.3.3 theme. To |OP| make sure you're flashing a compatible theme.
I already tried with some themes from this forum (for the Ace specifically) indeed, but all of them weren't for the KPF, so, I guess that consegregate is right, those themes that weren't made for the KPF are causing the boot loop issue ? Do you know guys where I can find the Meizu theme for my Ace (KPF)?, I have my phone already deoxeded
Just to answer to myself (and everyone out there with the same question), I have the stock rom (KPH 2.3.4) deodexed and after apply the Meizu for KPN everything goes just fine, no boot loops, so I guess that the deodexed did the magic.
Thanks for your responses
I've trying to deodexing stock ROM 2.3.3 for LG P500 with xUltimate, but during deodex qcnvitems.odex I got fail:
**ERROR DEODEXING qcnvitems.odex** -auto-frame- (14:55:31.98 25.11.2011)
**DELETING PROCESSED FILES** -auto-frame- (14:55:31.98 25.11.2011)
**MAJOR ERROR** -main- (14:55:59.07 25.11.2011)
why can this be?
other files deodexing without problems
if u want easy way download adw launcher and in settings choose get themes
I do not like ADW, I take the Sense. In addition, I want to replace the icons of the status bar
Hey everyone,
I'm really sorry if this has been posted out there someone, but I did search and I did not find what I was looking for, as this is recent.
So, I've flashed Samsungs latest ICS official ROM, but I really hate the TW UI. Is there anyway I can apply the UI of the official ICS ?
I'm not refering to launchers skins, as they do not to a total makeover like the menu's, diallers, and such.
I do not want to flash another rom since I don't want to delete anything.
If so, to what do I point to ? Mod's or theme's ?
Thanks in advance

Asked and answered your own question.
If you don't want to flash a new ROM, you will have to apply a new Theme.

Thanks ctomgee,
I know this is really noob, but I don't know the difference between a Mod or a theme or which is which..
And since I was having doubts and I do not want another ROM, I thought It would be wise to ask.
Thanks !

Mod is short for modification. (duh) Refers to anything that is changed from stock, really.
Theme (which technically is also a mod) refers to a whole set of framework, icon, color, and graphic changes. For example, there are themes out there that just change all the icons, etc. on Gingerbread, to look like ICS, without actually having ICS.
Of course, a theme still won't change your launcher... so you'll still have the TW launcher. Unless you install a third party launcher, like LauncherPro, GoLauncher, ADW, or other.
Hi, i just installed a LPQ ROM, but it doesn't have the TouchWiz launcher (Yes, I like it), so i copied a touchwiz30.apk (something like that, i don't know if it's the correct one) in the system/app folder, but when i try to "open" the launcher it just forces close...!!! Has anyone experimented that??? Is there a fix? Or something like " TOCHWIZ 4.5 for ICS"?
TW UI is the default Launcher for the official Android 4.0.3 ROM
If you copied from GB, does`t work. Copy from stock LPQ rom
why do not you try the nova launcher? This is available in the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher

nova launcher is lame compared to tw4.5. nova is slow, and u cant even create folders as u can do in TW4.5 . lack of tw4.5 is the reason for me not to install 4.0.3.
probably he feels the same i do

Sounds like you didn't install the official release from Samsung. If you didn't, and the ROM maker removed the TouchWiz framework, you'd be better off re flashing the official Samsung release, as there are a lot more components than just that one .apk.

See above. Official Samsung releases will ALWAYS have TouchWiz.
[SIZE="4"]Hi,
I just installed the ICS 4.0.3 from a rom that i downloaded from here.
I installed using Odin and all went smoothly, but the problem is after installing the same old interface is still there.
What should i do to get the new ICS wonderful Interface (theme)?
Buy a Google phone or flash an AOSP based ROM.
Download Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher from the Play Store.

Practically you wont find any big changes in user interface as both uses touchwiz. you have two choices.
1.Read and learn more about aosp/aokp roms and flash it. you will get pure ics experience with those.
2.Simply change the launcher to apex or nova to get the ics feel.
The best choice
The best choice is a combination between the theme of Lord Vertumus and the trebuchet launcher....
Thnx
Thnx for replies
Really appreciated

Hi! Download some themes for Apex Launcher from the market.
You can also try flashing custom ROMs to satisfy your customizing craves lol

A.
1. You need ROOT access and CWM recovery
2. Download ICS domination theme for your ROM
3. Read the flashing instructions especially its your ROM is odexed
4. Flash via recovery
B.
1. Change your home launcher to one of, Apex launcher, Nova launcher, or Holo launcher HD.
