Hi , i'd like to know, what are the huge advantages of having 4.0 instead of 3.0? are there many huge differences? tbh, i kind of like the look of 3. (like the black background on launcher etc)
but i see everyone going to 4.0..
what are the huge advantages?
is it slower than 3.0? does it require more RAM to run? can you have both?
It looks MUCH better. Just search for 'Touchwiz 4.5' here on XDA. It's a heavy modified version of the original TW4.

Cheers for that, but is 4,5 the official version, or is it the xda version
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
4.5 is the modded XDA-version. Samsung didn't officially release TW4 for our SGS (only for SGS2).

Some one could just answer the guy, isit(T4) faster and what are the benefits over Tw3, he,s just being told "touch 4.5" is great. Probably is but we arn't getting to the root.Can't you just see the guy sitting there, to embarrassed to ask 1 more time, lol,.....any one know , he he?
Well, he should just try TW4, there are some ROMs with it too. It looks better (in my opinion). I would not say that it's faster.
And he doesn't have to be ashamed, XDA is a big forum and forums are here that people can ask questions.
Yeh haha xD
thanks for the replies guys!

touchwiz 4/4.5 has loads of FC and its not stable for some users including me... even though its fast and smooth i still prefer launcher pro
definitelly TW4 is much better than TW3
- TW3 does not have the 5 icon dock (only modded versions do)
- TW4 has better environment for placing shortcuts, widgets, wallpapers
- TW4 has better options to organize apps in app drawer (folders)
- TW4 is easier to scroll to any desktop within a second
- TW4 needs more resourses, but e.g. on JUWE 5.1 and Talon kernel it is smooth
I have never tried the TW4.5

It flies on the sgs2, but wondering how it would cope on the sgs1.

wonder no more: touchwiz 4.5 (you should probably get this one as opposed to touchwiz 4, but i can't since i haven't tried it) flies on sgsl as well; faster, in fact, than TW 3 (using xxkph, by the way; it's important because gingerbread adds 10 mb more to the ram)
it looks better, particularly 4.5 since i guess all those snazzy transition animations are xda's work (i've had hands-on time with the sgs 2 and those animations aren't there). and once you slap a theme over all of it...lets just say you're going to make your friends jealous
again, while i can't vouch for 4, 4.5 has one bug and it's that the stock samsung widgets won't work on it. it comes with a manager that lets you download fixed versions of those widgets AND sgs 2 widgets (all of them, except for calendar in my case, work)
trust me, take the jump to 4.5, you won't regret it (at least, i hope not )

Do you want TW4 on your Samsung
Epic? Yes you do. Believe me. Ever since I got my first
TouchWiz-powered device, I really hated it, and found myself
using other 3rd party launchers instead. But ever since I
upgraded to a rom that came with TW4, I immediatley found my
new launcher. It was love at first site. I've worked very hard to get
TW4 for all Epic 4g owners.
To install this amazing launcher, first
make sure you are rooted/deodexed. (but who isn't nowadays??)
Next, make sure you are on Clockwork v3.1.0.1 or higher. Wipe
cache and delvic cache 3 times. Don't wipe data unless you want
all your stuff to be gone (TW4 isn't worth THAT much) install the
.zip from your SD card, reboot your epic, and enjoy.
Hasn't this been out for a while now or is this something different
So you basically stole this from someone else's work?
Congratulations. We've had TW4 already =)

I never flash tw4, I take the two apks, and place them in system/app, and remove the original tw, fix permissions in cwm, reboot
Idk if this is the same as the OP, but this is the most stable version I have found. So naturally, I saved it to my dropbox lol

I never used it because it doesn't scale right. At least at the resolution I'm at.
But way to flame right off the bat y'all. First post, let alone first thread. He's only been a member since the 19th.
Thank you for the thought! I did the same thing with MIUI music a few months ago.
If anything we should dog on you for not using the search function first.
Haha welcome to the forums!
EDIT: Actually now I'm surprised. You are rooted and on a custom ROM. You even put up a disclaimer! Experience...troll? Nah. Maybe you've been doing this for a long time? And just now made an account? TELLL MEEEE WHO YOU AREEEEEE?!?!?!
All the previous releases of TW4 for the epic never worked. If this is another attempt i welcome it, cuz it seems as everyone else gave up chasing the dream. I'll give it a shot.

I have been using Froggers version for over a month. For those that said it was buggy and they would get fc or lockups I had the same thing until EG22 and EH06. Since EG22 and EH06 came out it has been perfect. Not a single issue.
This seems pretty stable... However, i wiped the cache 3 times and flashed, nothing... So i extracted the apk, renamed it and replaced it using root explorer. Once again, the Program Monitor widget doesn't work, but it a small price to pay... Kudos!

Too lazy to find the thread myself, but if you look in Samsung Galazy I9000 themes & apps forum you will find a heavily modified touch wiz 4.5. I have been using that.
It looks kind wonky in landscape, but it works pretty good. Not the smoothest launcher out there, but still looks nice.
Good looks I just flashed
this over eh17 its better than the old touch wiz I like how you can go from screen to screen just like the galaxy s2 Epic touch its great I seen it on the s2 video yesterday now my epic can do the same thing I was wondering if someone could take that feature& put it on a ROM or theme?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
TW4 always seems good at first, but then it started giving me reboots, freezes, etc. (that was on EG22, hopefully EH17 won't have the problem)
As great as it is, I don't think it's worth it until we get TW4 widgets. Now that would be awesome.
I already have the tw4 plus widgets on eg22

Agreed...that would be cool!

Try CM9 or Onecosmic's ICS builds , they have a lot more cooler Animations .
@Ashtrix ICS is too buggy for me for now. I would like to see these anims on CM7
Well people Fancy rotation works on sgs BUT The screen is mirrored on rotation. Rotates to The right mode though. when i have time i will dive in to it more.
Got my hands on a SGS now
No promises whatsoever

If it can be ported to the SGS2 then surely it can be ported to it brother, we just need someone that is clever and can make it happen.
I would donate for this for sure. Its the one thing android has always missed.

I wonder if it's possible to rip the software from the S III and port it to the galaxy note. Do you guys think it's possible to see roms running this? On HTC phones it happens but I haven't seen that ever happen with a samsung phone. Any thoughts?
I doubt it would be a direct port, however I'm sure some functionality can be ported via apks

I think the tw launcher is balls but all the other touchwiz stuff is class, I'm just gutted we lost the screen brightness in statusbar! We need that back!
I don't know why people hate the new touchwiz so much. It looks great, and it is the SMOOTHEST launcher I have ever seen. Just look at a video of the S III. There isn't a single stutter. And I love the 3D animations it does when you switch between pages. I also like the shadows that icons have now with the new touchwiz.

It also has to do with the launcher. It's optimized to use all of the hardware it can

No offense guys, if you want to have yet ANOTHER war on favorite launchers, which btw is extremely pointless as every person has their preferences on launchers (apex this, nova that, go launcher ftw, apex rules, etc. etc....), then take it to another thread. The OP here is reaching out to Devs and other members of the XDA community about the possibility of adding some touchwiz 5 features to our beloved Note, or even porting it over completely ( which doesn't sound plausible ). I for one would love the new voice recognition and the lock screen effect is pretty slick, so +1 to those features .
I'm currently satisfied with Stock, after trying 99% of the roms out there.
Now I want to flash MIUI v5 (3.9.13 is the latest as far as i know) and see if it is any good.
I see that MIUI isn't very popular here as it is on the Gnex forums or other devices such as sony and samsung forums.
What do you guys think about it - Good or bad ? please state why
Used it, was good but definitely not as slick and fast as stock. Also the recent task manager makes your widgets freeze I'd you clear all.

I just reverted to stock also. I did not experience lag at all, but the overall experience was slow. Ios and EVEN Ubuntu touch feels faster and snappier that that.
I use MIUI as my daily driver and I've got to say it is AMAZING!
BTW to get the Gallery and other devices to recognize your SD data you need a media scanner app
I use the Trinity Kernel and it rocks with great performance and battery life that fits my needs :3
I don't OC the CPU on this Kernel but I do have the GPU OC'd to 480 MHz
All in all it may not be stock android
But its worth a try :3

Why this is not popular here? Cuz there is no official rom for n4. All the versions you see here are ports. Miui experience is thus not the best, but its not too bad. Personally i am hooked to more features like pie and halo etc thus making miui a little less attractive.
What about the Miui roms you see on miui.com and xiaomi.eu/, are there any differences? Both are 3.9.13 and JB...

It's a great rom I'm till using it and love it. I mean it doesn't have that buttery smooth scrolling as the stock vanilla, but it's barley noticeable . Thanks goes to Datsun.510 for porting this rom onto the nexus 4
Looks pretty sweet...I've used the v5 theme, but the experience itself looks compelling, as do the themes:

Not a big fan of MIUI, kinda reminds me of iOS.
The themes look nice tho but I rather stick to the vanilla android like experience.

Not the best rom out there. Then again that very sentence is subjective. I prefer a less skinned aosp type of rom.
looks good but it works bad in my opinion and since i'm not a big fan of chinese mobile, no offence but let's stick with the identity of pure google! :cyclops:
I fell in love with miui with my Galaxy SL i9003 then with my xperia arc s lt18i and now with my nexus, where battery life, interface and smoothness is incredible... Now I am not using it, but I allways come back
