I ran across an awesome mod last night in the Captivate forums and thought I would share it with you guys. What is it? Basically, it's a modified/customized TouchWiz Launcher. According to its creator, gtg465x, it offers the following features:
-Landscape mode (270° rotation)
-Transparent app drawer background and no icon backdrops
-New fly-in effect for app drawer icons
-Removed text "Press and hold this page to add content" from blank screens
-Galaxy Tab specific code removed to reduce app size
-Enabled 16-bit mode for faster/smoother animations

Another awesome feature it gives is the ability to alphabetize your apps in the app drawer (much like the Vibrant launcher).
There are currently four different versions of the launcher: (1) regular dock/regular icons, (2) regular dock/colored icons, (3) 5 icon dock/regular icons, and (4) 5 icon dock/colored icons. I personally tested each of these out last night and they worked great on our Fascinate.
Again, I did not create these and take absolutely no credit for them. My goal is to simply share what I consider to be an outstanding mod. Hopefully somebody else will enjoy the mod as much as I have .
Here are a couple of pics of my favorite of the four versions, the regular dock/regular icons TW Launcher (the two that are funky are in landscape mode):

*Again, all credit goes to gtg465x. He's the guy who created these for Captivate.*
His post with the mod can be found here. Here are his installation instructions .....
Installation (If you're a noob, I recommend using Root Explorer. If you're not, you probably don't need this installation guide.)
1. Copy the default TouchWiz30Launcher.apk and TouchWiz30Launcher.odex (if applicable) from /system/app to your SD card as a backup.
2. Delete TouchWiz30Launcher.odex (if applicable) from /system/app and copy this new TouchWiz30Launcher.apk over the old one.
3. Set permissions of the new TouchWiz30Launcher.apk to rw-r--r--. You can probably get by without doing this. Haven't tried it.
4. Important! If you are installing the new dock version you must clear launcher data to unhide the apps that were in your dock previously. Go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications > Running > com.sec.android.app.twlauncher and then force stop, clear data, and press home.

I recommend trying all four of these versions out. Hope you enjoy! BTW: You can bet your ass I'm gonna be including this mod in my theme very soon .

PWorks great. This is my favorite tw set up so far. I live how with froyo it implements Denver like preview, pinch on the home screen and it brings up all 7 screens, pinch in the app drawer and it brings up a preview of all pages for faster navigation

The only reason I started using ADW a while ago was for 270 degree rotation. Otherwise i use a very vanilla UI on my phone (plain black wallpaper, only 1 home screen, no animations or transitions etc - i know, boring).
This works with superclean 2.1 and had this come out a few months ago I bet I would have never used ADW. For me personally ADW feels a little snappier, and Ive grown to like that I can customize the qty of rows/columns in the drawer. But I bet some people will like this a lot. Thanks for posting.
Regular/Colored and 5Icon/Regular have switched downloads. Reg/Color should be with 5 icon, 5 Icon should be with reg.
Nice, TW gets better.

Dude you rock...thanks for the info...works flawlessly. The only thing that I was truly missing from my touchwiz launcher.

how did you change your app drawer icon? from my understanding that could only be done on ADW/launcher pro, is this ability now possible on this modified Tw or are you using some other app?

That's the way it came. Its the 5 icon tw
sent from my fascinating fascinate eating delicious froyo.
I'm using the 5 Icon/colored with a one-step Odin debloated/debinged EB01 froyo. I love the TW mods. But every time I exit from Task Manager, the modded TW errors out with a FC and randomly removes apps from my home pages. That is the only time it gives me trouble. I suppose it's like the old joke: Doc it hurts when I do this-- then don't DO it!
Really sorry to have to ask this, but I do not understand the installation process. The download link is a .zip file, not an .apk and the contents of the .zip file does not have an .apk to push so I am rather clueless as to how to approach this. I most likely overlooked something. Thanks to whoever points out my flawed procedure.
All the contents of all the .zips have TouchWiz30Launcher.apk in them......
I'm sorry. Thanks for putting up with my silliness. My mac only showed the contents of the apk I assume, including the res folders and xml files. It works fine on the pc. Thanks again.
No problem. Glad you got it working
would it be possible to have this posted as CWM package? I never had any luck with modifying with ADB or messing with system files
LOL....I'm surprised these links still work. FYI: this is just a tad outdated. If you are satisfied with the laucher, by all means use it. I would, however, recommend using CrushD's (more updated/funtional) version here.

Repost from: Samdroid Forums
Finally Samsung threads on xda! On this occassion let me share my hack-ish attempt to make the Touchwiz3 launcher from the Galaxy S fit our spicas. Consider these as perpetual beta version as there are issues, but most of the gui elements now fit properly at first run of the launcher. No more re-arranging things when hidden behind the dock!

}
There are derived from rolle3k's ports of both the Galaxy S and i5800 Touchwiz 3 Launchers. Hence, two version to choose from:
Common Notes:
Added xml to make them more compatible with mdpi screens (specifically the spica), should in theory should still look ok in ldpi or hdpi screens also. Feedback on this please.
I've modified the default startup items on the deskscreen as well as the dock (see screenshot), notably the dock as onlythe messaging icon appears. Take note that instead of the stock messaging app, I linked to Handcent SMS instead. Testing out the option if handcent sms is not installed, it will instead show the stock messaging app.
Tweaked displayable area for List mode, last items should not be covered by the dock anymore.
No promises of being a better launcher experience than others .
Speed and cpu load isn't noticeably faster/ better (nor worse) than the original ports.
Issues with widgets with text still remain, icons lining up properly in the homescreens, maybe unresolvable.
No samsung widgets, an external issue?.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A. GalaxyS-based update 02.01
Updated some ninepath graphics, as a result the Homescreen Folder icon glitch is now gone
Tweaked graphic elements locations should line up better.
This has more locales than the i5800 version so choose this in case your language is included.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
B. i5800-based update B02
Updated graphics to use hdpi version (originally ldpi).
Tweaked graphic elements locations should line up better.
This is multi-locales, but less than GalaxyS version (ex. no Swedish)
Smaller file size than GalaxyS.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
C. OPTIONAL release: i5800-based update B02.test 1-line text for drawer icons
1 line text for the apps in the drawers.
Proportionally larger tiles/ icons than the Galaxy S icons.
The text doesn't scroll if it's too long too long unlike homescreen icons.
Also tweaked the List Layout more to lessen the area hidden by the dock.
Update name is TW3Launcher-i5800-kenshin-b02.test.1LineDrawer.apk, unzip using 7-zip.

Details:
Derived from launcher of I5500XWJG9 FW.
Corrected dock phone and contact icons to launch spica version of these apps. Was quite fcking hard to do. These are still NOT customizable.
Added some nicer graphics to certain ui elements. Optimized some others resulting in smaller file size.
Make app drawer bg dark gray, was blue.
Addded custom solution to missing samsung widgets item.

IMPORTANT PS:
I attempted to make this mod for the sole reason to make TW3 launcher fit the spica at first install. DO NOT expect me to update this frequently, DO NOT expect me to fix any errors that may occur from using this mod. Mainly because I'm not capable to do so. I'm not really a developer, just did this as test. Feedback is welcome though.
IMPORTANT PSS:
I would appreciate you to download my releases only from links I provide, and linkback to the original posts it was posted on. Don't bother posting mirrors or posting in other forums on my behalf. Thanks.
Please other mdpi unit owners test and feedback!
Thanks and enjoy!

I'm not going to buy Galaxy S now he he )
Update: Test release (1-line app drawer icons ala i5800) see post 1.
This is awesome, I'm using it on my htc magic without any flaws. thanks
Nice. Great to hear from non-spica owners. Do spread the word. ^^
Great job! Works perfect on my Hero
Seeing as you've been digging around with the Launcher do you know if it's even possible to get the widgets working with it, if they were ported over?
Don't know how to do that yet. I'll let the real experts do it instead. If a port is here, I'll see what I can do.
do i flash in adb or in amon_ra ? i like the look of touch wiz.
Sorry for asking such a nooby question, but how do we install this? Should we flash it or install with ADB or somthing?
I'm trying to install on my Spica with samdroid mod.
I believe you will just copy the .apk to your memory card and have a file manager open and install it for you.. Make sure you disable the option that only apps on market can be installed on your phones settings..
This is installable. You can also push via adb to /system/app if you like works fine too like that. Or create a custom recovery zip and apply under recovery specifically samdroidmod recovery.

I'm not familiar with amor_ra recovery but i guess just put this apk wherever you apks in your recovery zip. Do rename into something shorter right? The stock name is "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk".
i dont know how to install the i5800 launcher....
is there a apk file?
Work great for me. Thanks you.
Because apparently the general population can't use common sense, this is a video on how to apply: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i4L0i7zk48
A .zip is linked at the bottom which holds all of the themes. Each theme has two separate versions, one using the Sense application icons, the other using the slide application icons.
The themes are of the stock Slide themes (Nest, Hoops, LightShow, Wildflower, Surf, Nature, and Palazzo) made from images by HTC (I only made them compatible with ADW).
Hoops:

LightShow:
Nature:
Nest:
Palazzo:
Surf:
Wildflower:
Issues:
2. For some reason I could not get the vertical scrolling screen to display the app background correctly so you will have to use the Galaxy S drawer unless you don't mind the select/press/normal images not lining up. *Problem with the Stock Launcher Code (Which ADW uses)*
3. Landscape is ugly, sorry, it just is.
4. When adding an app to the hidden dock, the right side of the highlighted dock does NOT reach the edges of the screen, I'll look into this.
5. Scrolling is low quality, it's just an Android thing.
6. The nature theme looks a little odd on the app bar.. thing. It has vertical lines and unfortunately, the way I understand .9's, they like to stretch. It was either have one really long line or lots of lines slightly larger than the original image. I chose the latter.

Good job broseph.
Wow... Good work J!!
You're such an effing swagger jacker.
Very nice looking! The only suggestion I have is to do something with the shortcut names in the app drawer...only the shortest names are fully visible, otherwise they're cut off (because of the border). Maybe there is no way to beautify that, so no biggie. Otherwise, beautiful!
looks great
thanks
looks awesome. thank you
Very cool! I installed it on my phone. Thanks. But I don't have clock widget with weather. How I can get it?

"Weather & Toggle Widget" has a skin that looks exactly like it also, you can download it and the skins (one for clock, one for weather) from the market, it does cost $1.99 though I believe. Totally worth it imo.

Ooohp, yep. I bought that a long time ago as well (Before it was Weather & Toggle Widget).
Also, the Nest theme s currently on the market, to find it you can search for either "ADWTheme Slide" or "pub:klinster". It is one version ahead of all of these themes (and as such has a couple of things fixed, including HDPI support and general fixes with the bubble).
Starting later today I will begin updating the other themes, and ready them for (hopefully) a market release was well.
not fancy widget
So i went ahead and uploaded a widget thats called not fancy widget it's not fancy widget ..............I swear it's not guys ......don't look at me like that. Also I can't for the life of me get the boxes in the drawer to look correct

I been using the one from the market everything is cool but the drawer boxes. i'll try the ones from the first page.
Palazzo worked real well using the slide version. It gave me a force close but i hit wait also want to note my settings which were already setup from using crazybirds theme (nest)
Drawer settings:
horizontal drawer yes
drawer columns to drawer row are all set to four
page horizontal margin is at 10
ui settings:
desktop dots unchecked
secondary action buttons checked
ab scale factor 10
everything else is set to default except background color in drawer
Okay I just checked the ones on the front page and the ones that say slide all work (i didn't test the others) but when I go back to the nest from the market it messes up the drawer boxes. Loving it thanks for your work can't wait till lyrical ink shows up
hello, you can explain me how I apply the themes for the adw see them, I can not see the adw can install themes and
how do i edit the dock on my theme so i have the pink slider button

how to use :
1. set sensedock.png as your launcherpro dock
2. set your leftmost icon to go to the app drawer, then select custom icon and use the clearsquare.png as the icon
3. same as step two, but set the middle three icons to be the phone app. again, set the icon to be the clear square
4.set the rightmost icon to be whatever you want, i used messaging. again, use the clear icon
thats it! just tap one of the three sections and it will take you there
now your homescreen dock will look just about the same as senseUI.

then hold down each icon on the dock and set it individually

ok, I have installed via metamorph and have launcher +beta as my launcher...I must be tired, so where do I go to do as your 4 steps tell me to?
ok, yup I am tired...any more questions will wait when I am fully awake - later on today...lol
Works great!!! Thanks - I needed launcher pro, as you said, and at first all I found was the other one...it would be nice to port the HTC SENSE UI in its entirety to the phone. But, until that day happens, this is a great alternative and the UI is still quick, too, on the captivate. Now, could you point me in the general direction of where I could change the sound and image files of this awesome phone? Thank!!

its not likely that an entire sense ui port will ever happen, basically because senseui is for and by HTC phones, which bare a total of almost no hardware similarities with the sgs. (check this out though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737526)
you can look to the android general theme section for some bootscreens and sounds.
Do I have to root my captivate to do this?
All you need is Launcher Pro. Hit up the preferences menu after pressing the menu key on the homescreen and go to Appearance settings to change the dock skin.

the first two ways that come to mind are like a shortcut or something and an app that just opens that menu
personally i dont find that to be a really useful button so i assigned it to messaging
What's the all the ado about Sense?
So in a nutshell, is the appeal of SenseUI:
Customized dock
Useful widgets
Expose-like homescreen management
Am I missing something or does all that seem do-able in LauncherPro + (minus some of the widgets of course)?

yup pretty much just missing some widgets
First off, just wanted to say this is originally based off of jonathanphx1's DarkHorse theme. He has done a awesome job with it and i'm taking it all and evolving the Monster Theme around it.
This is my first metamorph theme, so its not all perfect yet. Still need help with one main thing. Thats figuring out how to compile 9image files to fit the widgets properly. But anyways heres my first version of what i've gotten so far. Just make sure to nandroid up before applying just as you would anything else. This replaces the pretty much everything in the framework-res area. I've gotten a few apps done. Still tinkering and tweaking a few things to get things perfect. But of course wont ever be perfect lol. But for now this is what i've came up with.
This is my first version 1.1

Version 1.5
Changes made:
New lockscreen icons
New status bar icons (3g, signal bars, car mode, usb, debugging, phone, vibrate)
New look to the overall icons in settings, menus, and apps
New apps themed, (phone, Mms,) credit to the icons in Mms to developer of Watermark'd. I did the mms and sms notification icons myself. took rest of the menu icons and such that are in the app and redid the looks of them.
*Facebook widget isnt quite perfect like it should look. I'm having difficulty getting the .9.png files right. there a pain lol. But it is still functional. Same thing goes for the settings toggle widget, the background isnt working or looking like it should and still working on it. Its still functional. Probably look better if you leave background off in settings lol.
Version 1.6
Changes made:
Added new app
*DeskClock.apk
Fixed the power toggle icons to match the status bar icon toggles, plus changed few icons (reapply the settings sub theme)
Changed the Mms icon (reapply the Mms sub theme)
Changed the color of the divider lines in menus (reapply the framework-res sub theme)
*Still looking for a fix with the facebook background widget files.
Version 1.7
Changes made:
Added couple apps, nothing big
*AccountsAndSyncSettings.apk
*Bluetooth.apk
*XDA.apk (make sure to rename the app in /data/app to XDA.apk and move it from there to /system/app and reboot, then apply the theme)
Updated some apps
*Browser.apk
*Calculator.apk
*Calendar.apk
*Camera
*Contacts
*DeskClock.apk (fixed a file that was messed up)
*Gallery3D.apk
*framework-res (couple files i redone, nothing major)
Latest Version 1.8
Changes made:
Added couple more apps
*Music.apk
*LauncherPro.apk (it is the updated version of 0.8.3, make sure to rename as you see here and move to /system/apps, reboot, and apply theme, reboot)
*Updated Facebook.apk (still not perfect like it should, but better than before thanks to scott2hot97 for the tip)
*Updated Contacts.apk (changed looks for the quick popup)
*Updated the framework-res for a few files and to finally get the notification menu to match lol
Added themed keyboard thanks to gimpsta's keyboard generator
*You can either install the .apk or upgrade it. (its just a themed over version of HTC IME Mod)
This is the bootanimation...
* I changed the version file names so it wouldnt be confusing as to which version is which to download. There is nothing different, but the filenames there self.
I added the bootanimation.zip along with the .xml theme notification colors (Monster_Energy_CMTheme.zip), dock, and the word text on the launcher pro icons (which came from someone on a droid forum i found, but changed the colors to my own as seen in the pix)
Future updates will hopefully have the fixes for the facebook, settings toggle widgets. As soon as i figure out or hopefully get some help with the bg files. May probably have new icons for some things. Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
took this post and added it to main top post

the clock is actually wp clock live wallpaper. and here is the dock. The Facebook.apk works with this download apk file. Put the app in /system/apps and make sure its named Facebook.apk and reboot and apply the theme. Just make sure to uninstall the old facebook first.
thx ill give that try
ok everthing worked now still confused what is wp live wallpaper and where can i find it
Were you talking bout the clock on the screen or n the status bar next to battery icon?

for the clock and other notification colors, the attached zip needs to be extracted and the .xml will go into the cmTheme folder. In the cm settings, apply the monster energy theme and reboot.
Just wondering r u themeing other apps on this theme and my clock still does not have that font as above pics the color is right

yes i'm in the process of doing few other apps. the font wont change cuz thats part of something different when applying fonts. Get typefresh from the market and the font i use which changes everything you see on your phone is called nightmare from dafont.com. apply that to the droidsanbold and that will change 98% of the text you see on your phone to that font, including the clock.

yes thats correct. if i knew of a way of including that in the theme i would. But i probably wouldnt want to just in case people wouldnt be able to read the font or see it clearly. Cuz when changing the fonts, it changes bout 98% of everything text you see on your phone.
is this theme compatible with froshedyo vanilla where did u get the clock in the v1.5

Idk say its compatible with it, I'm using kaosfroyo v39. And the clock is from beautiful Widgets. But the one I have, I took the version of the clock from someone else that uploaded that n I customized it a lil. The one you see isn't available.

All credits go to Pierre Hebert for an amazing Launcher and being an amazing friendly dev.
Lightning launcher has a new in built theme backup/sharing so I thought I would start this so we can share on xda too.
Themes are called templates and can be built into apks or shared as a backup file which just needs placing in the LightningLauncher folder on your sdcard or emulated SD card.
You must have latest LightningLauncher installed.
Get it here. free version
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.pierrox.lightning_launcher
Also available is the LL extreme Version which is a paid app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.pierrox.lightning_launcher_extreme
The launcher has a new inbuilt template engine that can create,search and apply templates.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Browse existing - will lead to the play store apks that are available to download and apply.
Apply - will apply any chosen template which is present in your LL folder on your sdcard/emulated SD.
I will link to all my current templates on post 2.
Apks and Normal files included.
Apks need to be installed then applied, other templates will need to be placed in your LL folder which is auto generated by the app.
Once there all that's needed is to go to the apply option and choose the desired template, accept the launcher to create widgets etc when promted.
!! PLEASE NOTE !!
Device specifics may lead to some templates not showing correct. All my templates are made on the nexus 4 so may look strange on other devices.
Further info and screens are available on the LightningLauncher G+ pages.

I decided to share my Pinup theme it's a little more work but for sure it's worth it
So here come the explanation how to accomplish this theme
First the things you need.
LL Launcher of course https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.pierrox.lightning_launcher&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5ldC5waWVycm94LmxpZ2h0bmluZ19sYXVuY2hlciJd
Uccw https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.vineetsirohi.customwidget&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImluLnZpbmVldHNpcm9oaS5jdXN0b213aWRnZXQiXQ
The Uccw uzip files this include the weather and wallpaper, it also include the PSD for the pinup tiles and the wallpaper PSD
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_CuFN5jCNftNU5nb1g0Ul8wbm8/edit?usp=sharing
For other pinup files go to http://www.thepinupfiles.com/index.html#.UWzDI4n8J9A
You can of course also use other picture's or photo's instead.
Icons http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30620371&postcount=2858
LL Theme https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_CuFN5jCNftYnZfS2xkdHhPRDQ/edit?usp=sharing
I don't know sure if everything is packed in the theme so that's why I put everything with it and also a description how to accomplish this theme
Preparation
If you don't have Lightning launcher and/or uccw
Install them first
Unzip the uccw files and put them on your phone of course also put the wallpaper with it.
Wallpaper
This theme is for 1280X800, but because you have the PSD files you can adjust it to other sizes
Be sure only that you remember the sizes of your tiles because that will be importend in uccw.
UCCW
This you really have to check out when you adjusted the size of the wallpaper and/or tiles
Be sure that the background in the uccw editor have exactly the same size as the widgets (uzip) else you gone have trouble with aligning the widgets and also the hotspot of the widget will be very hard to get it right.
Lighting launcher settings
Current screen settings
Items>Text Display label off
Items>Icon Display the icon on, Enable reflection off
Rest of the Items no need to change
Wallpaper & Background> Display wallpaper
Wallpaper & Background> Select your wallpaper look up your wallpaper
Wallpaper & Background> Width 768
Wallpaper & Background> Height 1280
The rest of Wallpaper & Background stay the same
Behavior>Layout>Free mode on
Behavior>Layout> Dual position off
Behavior>Layout> Snapping none
Behavior>Zooming and scrolling>scrolling direction> Vertical only
Behavior>Zooming and scrolling> Scrolling speed 3.0
Behavior>Zooming and scrolling> Use scroll stops on
Behavior>Zooming and scrolling> Disable diagonal scrolling on
Behavior>Zooming and scrolling> rest of settings off
Behavior>Lost+found> Screen orientation > Portrait
Behavior>Lost+found> Hide the statusbar On
Appdrawer settings
Wallpaper & Background> Display wallpaper
Wallpaper & Background> Tint color (i made it black but you can pick what ever color you want)
Now the settings of lightning launcher are done and it's time to build up your screen
As you see the wallpaper have for the pinned widgets and icons (Weather, Time, Agenda, Frequent apps and missed) already aligned squars and there place
So that is gone be easy.
But first we have to put the pinup uccw widgets on there place because the alignment will be much easier.
Be sure that the hotspot of your uccw pinup widget is connected with the right app (if you have chanced it or in case i use a other app then you do)
Place the first one and go on from there it's a little hard to do but worth the effort.
When you have placed the first 3 the swipe with your fingers up or down to get to the top page or lower page to add the next 3.
When all this is done then add the pinned uccw widgets, you pin them by holding them a little longer then you get a menu in which you can pin them.
I hope you gone like the theme and it inspire to make your own or even better theme

Hmmm why is this thread so short? I'll try to share my theme later. Can someone link me to the original lightning launcher main thread? Can't seem to find it.

I can't really answer that but I must say I have tried L.L. a few times and found it very confusing to use, I'm sure giving it a bit of time will yield good results but it was just a bit full on for my liking.

Certainly not for everyone. If you're looking for a lot of flexibility in customization in a more traditional launcher try ss launcher. I use that on my evo.

LightningLauncher now has a new sharing method where you can browse existing available templates from the launcher itself.
This thread is old now and the method here is outdated, I will update this thread soon with new links to my LL templates.
