So, a lot of people seem to like the TouchWiz UI that is on the Samsung phones, including the Omnia. Since the Omnia has it and is also rocking WM6.1 then why cant we port that over to work on the Touch Pro and have a selection between using TF3D and TouchWiz?
I'm curious about this also...
there's a thread on this. It works if you don't resize the icons but when you try the new icons that were resized for VGA it leads to some bad stuff... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3614655#post3614655

Hi everyone!
Is there anyone working on porting TouchWiz from Omnia? What i see they have some nice features with widgets and some graphical goodies.
You can view a video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YE6kFC8Mgr4 from phonescoop
If the port isent possible can someone redirect me to the mouse feature to work on Xperias optical joystick as seen 5min in the video.
Thanks!
there are some similar UIs out there that function like the one in OMNIAs, just search in 'development and hacking' subforum.
*edit*
this could be the most similar to Omnias

Thank you, ill continue searching.
A full port would be real nice, since i like the graphical effects on omnia, for example the landscape effect is good graphical wise
I would be very excited about a port of TouchWiz from the Omnia, especially since there's a WVGA version of Omnia out there now. It would be a perfect match

There was a huge discussion about the QVGA port of the omnia stuff in the dev & hacking section of the forum, alas it didn't work in vga never mind WVGA
That was news for me. I thougt that Omnia had the same resolution on its screen as Blackstone and Xperia. 1-0 to Xperia on one more point then
I hope porting the mouse pointer is possible though.
I made a thread asking for the exact same thing here weeks ago. I think FEWidgets is the closest we can get at the moment. A proper port would have been great, especially if it was a panel.
This would be an excellent port especially as a panel. I have used this on my g/f's samsung tocco and it is a really good interface to use.

this is the closest thing like omnia touch wizard yeah it is an FEWidgets
lets hope in future there is going to be a FEWidgets pannel that would be so cool
so x1 can do x pannel+touch flo 3d+touch wizard all in one !
unbeatable wm device

Well, somehow FEWidgets doesn't seem to work very well for me. When I press the panel button in my TouchFlo3D panel, sometimes FEWidgets will launch and somehow hang my X1 for a while. Perhaps it'd be better if it can be run as a panel.
I have FEWidgets running fine on my Xperia but as an app. The only thing that bugs me is that its still in its early stages and a bit slow. And its made using flash.
A proper port of the TouchWiz from the Omnia would be perfect though.
Folks
We may be in luck at getting a wvga version of touchwiz. I was just searching around and Samsung have released a new version of the Omnia (SCH-M490) with a WVGA res. Only problem is, its only being released in korea.
So im guessing all we have to try and do is find a copy of the korean rom, port touchwiz and translate the language.
take a look at this link http://www.modaco.com/content/i9x0-omnia-http-omnia-modaco-com/275915/sch-m490-video/#entry936699

So i was over on modaco and they were able to get the panels to work on HD...yea i know the resolution difference between the Blackstone and Raphael....Maybe one of the chef experts can play with it. I tried to install the installer and it installs but doesnt run.

Ok this isin't exactly what your looking for but interesting none the less. this is FEWigets, its omnia-esque for the tough pro.

The next one is smiler to what you are looking for, its called Task Facade.

But I have seen nothing that is an exact replica of the X1 YET.
Hope I helped you some!
I'm pretty sure he was looking for a project to port panels to the htc raphael (cdma and gsm variations)
i second that.. hope someone is working on porting it to the raphael... well we kinda see that xperia has got tf3d ported to it's device.. well i hope raphael users could get panels too one day..
thirded on that point
the interface is so beautiful (and facebook app ftw) would be perfect for touch pro
I fourth this motion. I like how on the X1 TF3d was one of the panels It is the porting of the app on a different resolution which poses the biggest challenge i think.
It could be used with tf3d, launched with a pull-down of the task bar, like SPB Mobile Shell does.
considering the relase of the files thanks to modacco I don't see why it can't be ported now
I´m thinking about buying a Touch Pro, but I tested TL on my brothers Diamond and scrolling (with transparent items) was quite slow (even slower than on my Touch Cruise).
So my question: Is the WM7 Ultimate theme running nice or slow on your Touch Pro ?
Would a cooked ROM with improved drivers help ???
regards,
Martin
wouldnt know as I dont use TL on my pro... but prodex whipped up an amazing W7 tf3d theme, thats simply amazing... u could always try that
yeah, I know there are plenty of other GUIs and TouchFLO 3D isn´t that bad either. But I want to make sure my WM7 Ultimate Theme runs well on the Pro.....please test it if you´ve got time to!
so some touchwiz 4 ports are out already, i tried one and i didnt really like it, so here's the question:
will developers be able to port ALL the touchwiz 4 elements, including the launcher, icons, functionality, widgets and wallpapers to the sgs and maybe other devices?
no matter what most people think, i really like the look and feel of touchwiz eventhough it might not be as professional as sense or launcherpro and so on..
BUT the new touchwiz 4 is almost close to an ideal launcher. so are we going to be able to use a full feature touchwiz 4 on sgs someday? maybe as an apk file or a theme package or maybe even a touchwiz 4 ROM?!
Sure hopes so, but you need some really great devs for this.
just to understand the procedure, wht exactly do the developers do to port the touchwiz 4 to sgs?
i mean, the stock rom gets deodexed, they extract it and find the .apks of the launcher, wallpaper chooser, widgets and such stuff, then what? wont they just work if they are installed on other wvga devices? what else should be done?
Hello everyone!
I'm trying to replicate touchwiz 4 on my android powered HD2;
i dont use touchwiz 4.5 by Fr4gg0t cause it too unstable for daily use,so what i'm trying to accomplish is a closed imitation of that UI.
Atm i have 2 ways of doing it
1-Using launcher pro plus with it's widgets themed with launcher pro corporate theme (1&2),beautiful widget pro.
cons: there is no way to make the drawer scroll orizzontally
2-using ADW EX,android pro widgets (in simple b&w theme) again beautiful widget and minimal reader pro with sqaured widgets.
cons:it just look not properly..right!
so right to the question:do you guys know any other squared widget that can be "touhwiz 4-like"?is there any way to get a properly spaced) 4 icons dock on adw-ex or lpp?
Maybe this one; https://market.android.com/details?...auncher.reloaded2&feature=more_from_developer

Hi,
I don't really understand what you actually want. Give me more details and maybe I can help.
As of 4 icons dock, I believe MIUI ROM and Sony Ericsson Home use 4 icons dock (search the forums).

I know what he means I like the touch wiz ui. I would love to have a nice theme for adw.ex launcher if possible. Does anybody know of any? Free would be preferred price range.
