I've tried searching all the threads here in the Galaxy S III forum, but couldn't find anything. I am rooted on Stock ROM Version: I9300ZSALF1
The stock ROM has a max of 7 pages for Touchwiz. Is there an easy hack to be able to add more pages to Touchwiz without having to flash a custom ROM?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
simple, install a launcher replacement

Best idea is to install a launcher replacement. Nova would be my recommendation. Nova supports unlimited home screens. Best of all it allows you to save the settings (icon locations, widget locations etc) so that when you do install a custom rom, you can restore you home screen icon and widgets. The stock Touch wiz has NO support to save icons and widgets !!!

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'd rather stick to Touchwiz for now..
I remember reading a hack in one of these forums to add pages, but can't find it now...
Don't know if you already found what you were looking for.
I also tried to find an answer for your question and had to search by my self.
Fortunately I found the answer, wich worked for me an my Galaxy Tab3 (GT-P5200)
After decompiling your SecLauncher3.apk, open the file \res\values\integers.xml
Now you edit following line:
Code:
<integer name="config_workspaceMaxScreenCount">7</integer>
I replaced it with the following code (just to try if it would work):
Code:
<integer name="config_workspaceMaxScreenCount">9</integer>
After replacing my original SecLauncher3.apk with the modified one (in recovery mode)
and restarting my device, I was able to add 9 pages to my TouchWiz-Homescreen
Due to I am not a pro regarding Android, I can't tell you if this works for other devices.
But at least you can try and check if this small mod works for you as well.
Hope this short information helps you to get what you wanted.

By the way, .... does anybody know, which value I have to set to create unlimited pages?
Would be greate if someone could help me
Hello
I have been looking for a theme guide since the 4.3 update that introduced the ability to download themes from google play.
The closest I've found is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1826413, but as it requires flashing the theme, and I haven't rooted yet, it's not really a option I want to use.
Any help is much appreciated
Until Sony provides an official tool for creating the themes, all you can do for now is decompile a theme, change whatever you want to change, recompile back, sign and install.

Let me have a guess...
Android v 4.2.2
Based on Xperia v2 ROM ( from the A919 Tool app icon and the normal nav bar icons in screenshot no. 2, and also the background in screenshot no. 1 where a message is seen saying that " Actually I was bored with Xperia v2 ROM so I made this ROM. " )
Changed Framework apk and systemui apk
Added Samsung Apps like the launcher and calendar, etc.
Updated GmsCore.apk (or Google Play Services to be simple)
Did not edit and/or change the data folder
Followed any MTK porting guide
Did a quick port today ( from the date and time in the screenshots )
Better RAM management -- Tweaked minfree values would be my guess
Did not change the Flashlight app (TinnoLED.apk)
Brighter Flashlight -- Not as easy as he hoped. He would need some redirection of app processing power to the flashlight app to increase its importance, and thereby increase the flashlight brightness. I'm guessing he hasn't done that, so you'd better remove that line.
Did not change the default time zone in build.prop settings (It is set to phillipines time. )
Neat. Good attempt.
Bugs :
Transparent Status Bar
From the screenshots, it is apparent that the Status Bar isn't transparent. You mean that the background of the Notifications panel is transparent. Status Bar transparency refers to the status bar having the colour of the app's upper part. Like in the first screenshot, the status bar (the part with the battery charging info, network signal info, clock, etc.) should have the colour of the app. (like its background should have whatsapp's green colour while running whatsapp)
But, that is more of a misconception than a bug.
Here is a bug which he cannot fix.
3g support on both SIMs.
For that, you need hardware support. It is wrongly mentioned in the Xperia ROM v2 too. I have tried and tested that in almost all other ROMs like MIUI v5, Xperia ROM v2, Stock ROM, etc. and it all comes down to the same thing. YOU NEED HARDWARE SUPPORT FOR 3G IN BOTH SIMS.
A piece of advice : Do not bet that there won't be an bugs at all. Each and every ROM might have a bug that the developer might have overlooked.
Here are some things your friend might have done or should do if he hasn't done yet.
Changing the build.prop setting of ro.product.**** to that of Karbonn's from MyPhone Agua Cyclone ( Xperia ROM v2 was built on that phone's ROM )
Add Material Design Apps from Apkmirror like Gmail 5.0, Maps, etc.
Try porting Kitkat ROMs to Jelly Bean based devices by modifying the installation procedure to include the priv-app folder
Try porting CyanogenMod to this device
Help me in porting Carbon ROM and/or CyanogenMod 12 to this device.
Mention how he got the updater script to work properly and install the ROM perfectly in TWRP and Philz Recovery
Sign the ROM using ZipSigner app and then upload it.
Add more features to it
Here are a few suggestions :
Update the version of SuperSU and then install it.
Make the Xposed Framework built-in. ( Not to be installed manually after installing the ROM )
Pre-install GravityBox or XBlast tools.
Odex the apps folder for better RAM usage
Increase the wifi supplicant scan interval
Throw in some paid apps for free.
Increase the net buffer size
Add the X-Reality engine
ZipAlign all apks.
Add some more fonts ( other than Choco cookie )
Add more sounds for ringtones, audio, etc.
Mention all these to him, and if possible, ask him whether he could help me to develop other ROMs for this device.
BRO thanks for your opinions and thought

See i ported this Material L for unite 2 (a106) for our s5+ it was ported successfully and also booted up i used it for More than 3 days not found any other bug except Camera and flashlight..I changed some of its Lib files With Stock and also changed its gallery to stock and tried many other methods but still the cam bug didnt fixed..Else everything working really good.whenever i opens the cam it says unfortunately camera has stopped else everything works at its best...
Yeah, I just thought I should type out my thoughts about the ROM and then wait and see your reply. Sorry for that, though.
---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------
You used some MTK porting guide, didn't you ?
Another thing, what do you mean by Material L ? Do you mean to say that you have ported an Android L ROM to this phone ?
I think you have just ported some ROM with just the Material Design UI, as seen in the screenshots (They do not have the Android L Navigation Bar Buttons. )
You could try replacing the permissions in that, as most likely, that would be the root cause of many such errors. A permission file related to the camera settings could be improperly coded, and/or might have a bad file, either corrupt or something like that.
I just needed this tiny favour from you of creating a proper, working update-binary and updater-script inside a META-INF folder which can be used for all my ROMs. If that is over, you'll be seeing those ROMs on XDA quite soon.
Another thing. In the CyanogenMod 12 Lollipop ROM which I am porting, the apps folder has individual folders for each app. So, the flashlight app is in system/app/flashlight/flashlight.apk . Could that be the cause of the ROM not installing properly ? I'm going mad over that as that was the first time I have seen any ROM with apps grouped like that.
Thanks in advance for your contribution.
tnx for posting.. try to port this rom..we r same spec of ur device..

Thanks anyways.Hope to expect more ROMs from you in the future!!!
