Hi,
I have been considering a custom rom on my galaxy S2, and have been trying apex launcher. However one problem i have been finding is that some of the samsung the stock widgets (s planner in particular) won't show on anything other than touchwiz. Is there a way to get them to shop on other launchers? I quite like the s planner widget, and many of the stock apps and would like to keep them but go for a better launcher.
Thanks
Wolf.
Theam and apps mate is were them things are and Icon changer of playstore free will help too. I got xperia z icons on mine. Just look on t and a thread loads there to pick from.

First of all, I know that this is running on a different device (I guess it is a Desire variant) and I also understand that this probably means that this launcher+lockscreen are only for 480x800 devices. But i thought someone would know some more information about it:

Basically, it has a different style of lockscreen (and it displays the time in an interesting way, for example EIGHTforty) and then has a similar style for the UI.
Can anyone help me out? If this launcher is not available for the Hero, then is it maybe for the Legend or the normal Desire (not the HD), or perhaps the ZTE Blade or the Samsung Galaxy S? That's all the android phones I have, so here's hoping someone knows more about this. I am not interested in the ROM this guy is running, but simply the custom UI/launcher and lockscreen.
Thanks in advance.
I know that clockr (available on the market) would display the time like that and using widget locker you could put that on your lockscreen? I think he is using a modded widgetlocker.. Mod data for modding widget locker can be found seaching ( WidgetLocker Mods Custom Lockscreens XDA.
the status bar could be themed using the gingerbread theme for the hero available in the themes and apps part..
widgetlocker and clockr area abailable on the market.. another one called TYPOCLOCK may be better...
Seems like LauncherPro and Widget Locker. He does a lot of mods for these apps, most of which can be found on the LauncherPro forums (currently down) or on his site - http://www.theultralinx.com/
Hey,
I have a friend with a S2 from Orange Spain that has now received the official ICS update. Apparently, the only difference from stock is the splash screen.
I have a Galaxy Nexus and I wanted to help my friend get rid of all unwanted Touchwiz customizations without rooting his phone.
I couldn't find a thread explaining what to remove, what to replace and what to keep.
Is there a guide to un-touchwiz without flashing a new rom?
Cheers,
How are you going to remove stuff on an unrooted phone ???????
jje
^^ +1 to this.
Yup, if you just want to replace the homescreen and launcher, then you can just install a third party launcher, but to remove/replace system apps, you would need root.
Thanks!
Is there are stock ICS launcher or just 3rd party lookalike launchers?
Just search the "play store" for launchers.
Apex or Nova as an example of ICS launchers
Or maybe have a look at Go Launcher, probably has more features than most
Hello
I'm a big fan of Samsungs Hardware but never liked touchwiz. The hings that annoy me most are the launcher and the Email(Exchange) App.
Is there a way to use the Vanilla ICS pendants without switching completely to cyanogen (when it once will be available)? I would like too keep the few nice add ons by Samsung.
Thx for hints
You could try an alternative ICS launcher such as Nova https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en. Hope that helps some.
An alternative launcher will definitely get you away from much of the touchwiz experience but you will still be stuck with Samsung's email, calendar, etc apps. Take a look in the SGS3 Themes and Apps section. I believe someone there has created a flashable zip to replace the Samsung stock apps with the ICS ones.
Thanks both of you. Nova does the trick for now.
I also flashed the ICS Email but it did not want to work. Guess I'll wait for CM then.
cheers
Guys could u help me out here...I want to add the official galaxy s3 weather widget into apex launcher. Is it not possible as the widget menu does not have the touchwiz widgets! Is there a workaround?
Can't.

stock weather widget it touchwiz bound , so cannot be used outside unless it is ported.

What would have to be done to "port" it? I know that's a really large open ended question, but should I figure out what apk it is and then start poking around in there to pull resources etc. out? I've seen that someone already has made a port for the ace so it shouldn't be too difficult .
Hello guys,
I am looking for Jelly Bean ROM ( I mean JB look, i don`t like samsung overlay on android) but with all special functions of Samsung Galaxy s 3 such as S Voice, Smart Stay and touch options( zooming with two fingers on picture in gallery etc.) I spent whole day on searching but didn`t find any maybe looking in wrong place? or just doesn`t exist?
Also i would like to add that it isn`t my very beginig on flashing roms. Previously I had HTC Desire HD with plenty roms tried.

I would suggest a custom deodexed sammy rom (wanam, omega etc) with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730397 and nova or apex launcher! Thats as close as you can get.

And does the "pan to move icons" works? I have already found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886332 MS Team HD 5.0 and it doesn`y support it but just it so it`s very acceptable. Another thing, but propably in every rom, lack of S Planner widget.
Would totally love this combination as well. Mainly so I can keep WiFi tethering which Vanilla JB ROMs don't have.
Nice to hear that I`m not alone
S Planner and other samsung applicatins might be in the rom, depending if the author put it in or not. I can not give you that specific advice because I am using cm10. So you gotta check some roms out and see whats in there.
You also have the option to flash deodexed stock rom and then vertumus theme, so you got the complete Samsung stuff. Here you get the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704185
Oh and perhaps also check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911572 Has the JB look out of the box
http://galaxys3.roms-db.com/ also very neat when trying to find a suiting rom!
Apex or Nova launcher with holo locker.
