I modded the xperia arc launcher abit. I liked the original launcher but didn't like the look of the folders.
It has a working dockbar (visible).
See screenshots for demo (XperiaArcMod.apk).
Install:
Copy to SD
Uninstall previous arc launcher. (if you have installed it)
Install from phone.
Two more mods uploaded, Both have the regular homekey (I personally think it's ugly, but here you go). One has a visible dockbar, the other invisible. (neither of these two have been tested but they should work, if not i'll fix it ASAP)
Thanks for this one, working fine on floyo4, wondering however is there's any way to configure the number of pages one can have.
There is, unfortunatly it has to be done by decompiling it and changing the xml. You can try the two new ones just uploaded. I have not tried them myself but they should work.
Thanks but for me, they both just force close, no biggie, I'll just use a couple empty tabs

Force close here too, only the first one is working. And would be good if anyone can fix the screen rotation
Thanks
Using this but I haved moded it about..
Changed the dock to transparent and took another appdr. Button instead of the iphone

Looks Good Buddy, Looking forward to more changes (if you want to )

m using de owian rom, 2.3 and ya obviously its rooted
New owner of an SG2, which I'm liking so far. Am coming from N1 Cyanogenmod.
At present I've rooted my phone and am running the stock rom with Launcher Pro.
I'm liking a bunch of the features of the stock rom (well trying them out) and am deciding whether I keep the stock rom or move to a custom rom.
I do have a few questions about the stock rom, which I wonder can be answered here:
- With the pull down menu you have the options of wifi, bluetooth etc in the status bar. Is there anyway of changing these options (for example want to remove bluetooth).
- With the dialler, once I make a call it goes into a screen with a bunch of options, like, save contact, etc. Is there anyway of avoiding this screen and going straight to home? (incidentally you are given the option of "voice call". Is this something provided by your network or another service?)
- Autorotate. Is it possible to NOT have it working on the homescreen, but available in your apps?
In relation to custom rom, what do you guys reckon is as close to stock as possible, but with a bit more customisation. I'm guessing a custom rom would be able to deal with most of my queries.
1) majority of roms have that bar modified where you can slide it across and have upto 12 triggers, although you can't really remove them. However with cm7 and miui you can customize that bar to your hearts content.
2) no idea
3) look in the launcher pro settings, you should be able to set it there so it doesn't auto rotate
Give cm7 a try.

Cheers mate. Was using CM7 fine with my N1, guess just wanted to mix it up a bit. There are a bunch of features I do like about the stock rom though.
I'll run it for another week and then may give MIUI a go.
Checkout jkay mods and themes for stock roms in the theme section.
Can do basically what you want Plus more.
Also many launchers (home screens) can set whether to auto rotate. Set it to off in launcher and leave the system auto rotate on.

Thanks, will have a play with the custom themes.
Also, I presume, if I install MIUI or Cyanogenmod, I could still install the Samsung specific apks?

No, you can not install any Samsung apps on CM. (May be you're thinking you like the stock browser so you want to use it on CM, but you can not).

Sorry for the newb qustions, but is this because of the ROM itself?

Cheers mate. I note you are using GingerMod, may give that a try as it seems to be the AOSP, with the ability to add certain TW apps.

Yes. CM7 and MIUI are build from scratch and doesn't contain anything related to Samsung. So unlike stcok based custom roms, these two roms doesn't support Samsung apps.

Well, the reason you wanted to try is exactly the reason why so many users love GingerMod rom. It has some good apps from Samsung, like the gpu accelerated browser, camera app, fm radio. Rest 95 % is aosp.
So it's pure google experience,no Samsung bloatware, and we can still enjoy some of the real good apps Samsung made.

heh, would love a cyan-samsung bastard child port. If only I had the skills to do that.
Love the ability with Cyan to tweak a whole bunch of settings, but am liking quite a few of the Samsung apps.
Will look into GingerMod as it may be a good compromise.

There is one more reason why i personally like GingerMod.
It is 99% (or 100%) bug free. Infact, i find it more stable than any official firmware.
Hey,
I was wondering if it was possible to install stock ICS on the Galaxy S 3, while keeping new useful Samsung's functionalities (S-Beam, All Share Play, Smart Stay, Direct Call, Smart Alert, Tap to Top, Popup Play, S-Voice, …).
Actually, I would like to feel I'm on ICS on my GS3, and not on a Gingerbread-styled TouchWiz. I know I could install a third party launcher, but it customizes only the launcher, and not the status bar or the Settings for example.
Thanks !
CM-Zoom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698273 is probably the closest ROM out there atm, its Samsung ROM with a bunch of Cyanogen stuff included.
I dont know of any AOSP-based ROMs that can run the Samsung app suite yet.

Most Samsung features depend on the TW framework. So few things will probably never work on AOSP based roms. However, for a lot of the features you named, there are alternatives. For instance, pop up play isn't a Samsung specific feature. But overall, what you're asking for will not work. Maybe in time, but I wouldn't get your hopes up...
Mmmh...
Unfortunately, I am not so surprised by your answers
And what about theming ? Is it possible to create a theme like this one and install it on the original Samsung ROM ?

Why don't you use that theme?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
It's written "The Theme is just for deodexed Rom's and is tested on Omega V3-V5!". Is the stock Samsung ROM deodexed ? Even if I am a developer, I dont know much about Android development
If it turns out to be deodexed, I could adapt his project to my needs (as said before, I don't know too much but it's a good way to learn !)
Oh, and forgot something in my initial post :
What bothers me in TouchWiz is replaced apps like Calendar and Contacts. This cannot be solved by theming. Is it possible to install these separately ?
I know I am a little picky and want the best of the two worlds, but isn't that the strength of Android ?

You can install any replacement app you want. Some of them might rely on a certain framework though (e.g. Cyanogenmod) and might not work. But any replacement app from the Play Store should be fine.

Of course, but what about stock ICS applications I am used to use ? Isn't it possible to "extract" them from original ICS ?
ICS (afaik) requires vendors to include the original framework and theming so that apps don't break on heavily modified phones.
The goo.im stock apps should work, but create a nandroid backup before attempting to flash it through CWM
http://goo.im/gapps
You most likely want the following:
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
Ok. So ICSwiz + goo.im apps should do the trick.
I won't try it right now due to a busy schedule, but maybe in one week or so.
I will post it there my results, in case anyone is interested.
Thanks for your replies

Download the CM9 Rom and replace the desired apps in /system/app.
Make sure you remove the samsung counterpart, e.g. if you want the original calendar, remove SecCalendar (or something) and calendarprovider, add original calendar and calendarprovider.
Don't be stupid and only replace what you really want!
THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR PHONE, CONTACTS AND DOWNLOAD!
There are many threads where they offer a black google apps pack, search for yourself if interested.
Hi ppl, I'm looking for something different for my s2...
Note: Please don't advice to root my phone.
I want my all icons, everything to be changed to a different theme, like the nokia have different kind of themes s2 only has the go launcher app which just changes the background images and color rest everything is same.

Have you thought about trying MIUI? You can basically customize anything and everything
EDIT: why dont you want to root your phone?
Roms are the way to go along with custom launchers and themes. Btw i feel this is in the wrong section

If u have android version over 4.0 u should try downloading Apex Launcher!
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
