I have been tinkering with apktool and eclipse lately trying to put the facebook widget into touchwiz. I have noticed on alot of roms that are modified frameworks that devs have added in features and mods so why not the same thing for this? I have decompiled my launcherpro plus apk and touchwiz launcher and tried to copy everything into eclipse but to no luck! My Question, Is this possible or a waste of time? Anyone that has any suggestions please feel free to help.
Files used
LauncherPro Plus - Yes i have paid for the app and this is for personal use.
TouchWiz Launcher
Software Used
Apktool
Eclipse
There are a several modified versions of TW in the latest SGS Tools. Not sure any of them have what you're looking for, but it's worth a try. A couple of them are themed as well. Click on "update stock apps"
Tried them all. No such luck

What are the benefits of going do LauncherPro Plus besides the widgets?
I just downloaded it and ADW Launcher. Even though I am still using TouchWiz, I think I may be switching to LauncherPro.
Widgets and resizing apps is the only advantage nothing special but I think its worth it for the widgets. I'm currently using pro

The widgets are worth the small amount of money for the upgrade. Plus, you get to support a developer who is spending a lot of time coding for our enjoyment.
I prefer Launcher Pro over TW Launcher. Plus the customizations you get with the program is well worth donating for the "pro" version.
If you want to change icons or the dock you'll definitely need it. Also I like the way it changes your application window, and the custom widgets are nice.
I never used ADW Launcher since I had to udpate flash it before it was on the market. Been using LP since I got my phone and I probably won't use anything else.
Its also to support good work.

Has anyone tried the TouchWiz 4 Mikey uses in GR10 on any other gingerbread ROM? I know he made several improvements to it just wondering if it will work on other ROMs.
Here's the apk for it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=582608&d=1304150494
there are other roms using tw4. it requires aditional files. mikey's apk is nicer because the other devs pulled it from a thread with a themed version of tw4 with an app drawer icon. mikey also has the other icons in the system match the sgs2 icon so it looks a lot cleaner.
I'm currently running THS build 15, and I absolutely love it. The only thing preventing this ROM from being pretty much complete in my books (other than some of the 'placeholder' settings) is the fact that the Trebuchet launcher doesn't allow hiding of apps in the app drawer. I hate clutter, especially since I don't use 90% of the 2 pages of apps that come with it by default.
I love the ICS theme and the ICS drawer, but are there any ICS launchers that are similar but allow hiding of apps in the app drawer?
you could try go launcher with ics theme

So I do, works perfect for me. Go Launcher is the best one atm imho
Not sure if this is the correct section to ask this but is there any way I can use the touchwiz interface with CM10 on my gTab2 P3110? I'd like to use a custom rom but in my opinion the touchwiz launcher is way better than any others like nova launcher, apex launcher and go launcher HD. I saw another user saying that you can't just put certain files in the correct places, that simply won't work. So is there any port avaliable?

Possible, yes, but why?
IF you want Touchwiz the Samsung stock 4.1.1 ROM will work better. Cm10 has no advantage since they are both core 4.1.1. and you need more than just an app to run Touchwiz, it requires the Samsung framework and widgets.
If possible I would like to have the widgets for P3110 especially the time/weather widget
is that possible?

I tried a ported tw launcher on a ROM, and it seemed like the Ui was meant for a phone, as the home screen was a little small, I mean the usable space was small, not the icons etc. Is this one a better match for tablets?

Try this, it is just the launcher and required framework. Works fine on CM10 and 10.1.
Flash in CWM
So I’ve got an AT&T note 3, rooted.
I want to change the touchwiz launcher (I would like to stick to touchwiz) so it has a 5x5 or 5x6 grid on the home screens - and I understand this can be done by modifying SecLauncher4.apk in /system/app
(I’ve tried Wanam Xposed, it doesn’t seem to be able to change anything about the launcher)
So I pulled off SecLauncher4.apk and SecLauncher4.odex, and decompiled the .apk using AndroidMultitool
I modified the two .xml files under /res/values-sw359dp-xxhdpi so that it’ll have the 5x5 grid with appropriate height/width/padding values.
Then I use android multitool to recompile the apk.
And…. Now what?
Does anything have to be done to the .apk after recompiling it?
Does anything have to be done related to the odex?
I’ve got a basic understanding of what odexing means, but I don’t know what the practical implications of this are for modding an odexed rom.
Do I need to do anything special to copy SecLauncher4.apk back to /system/app and have it work?
What other things do I need to know before going forward, if I want this to work?
Why would you stick with touch wiz when nova is soooooo much better!!

I haven't played around with different launchers, other than stock touchwiz and Google's stock launcher (which I didn't like). The only complaint I have about the current launcher is that it has a 4x4 grid instead of 5x5.
My general preference is to stay as close to stock as possible, while still being happy with the result.
