Anybody else think it would be cool to have the Touchwiz ported from the newer 7" models to the P1000?
Yes I know there is some people who do not like TW, I personally like both Sammy and stock ICS, but just think it would be cool to get TW ported.
I have seen the modded version of TW4 launcher but have tried and failed to get this working correctly and tbh I think a actual port from proper Tabs would be much better (included widgets).
When I say Touchwiz I dont mean the GB version we had previously on tab, I'm referring to the new TouchWiz UX that is on the newer ICS tabs?

Would it be possible to get the samsung galaxy s musicplayer.apk which can be found in the galaxy s forum, fitted on our magics?
hmm, why don't you try it? then you can share to all of us
I would be interested if this is possible, however I heard that it won't be easy because the Samsung Galaxy S' music player draws some of it's menu GUI from touchwiz. So without touchwiz I don't think it's possible to do that.

But TouchWiz has already been ported, isn't it? (Or at least, I have had the Launcher in my Evo)

I'm not sure if the touchwiz launcher is the same as the touchwiz on samsung galaxy s. Someone should try putting the samsung galaxy s music player apk on their phone along with the touchwiz launcher and see if it works. I have a feeling it might not.
The launcher contains only the elements needed by it, nothing more. When combined with a right ROM it'll give full Galaxy experience!
Bump.
Anyone knows if Galaxy's ROM could work when modified with Magic? The framework works well, but other parts..
I'm not sure if it can or not. You should put up a thread to request someone port the Samsung Galaxy S's ROM to the HTC Magic/Sapphire/etc.
I've been trying to find the htc music app for froyo for a while now. you can get it for donut and eclair if you search the forums for "htc music". I have it installed on CM 6 but it constantly force closes.
if anyone has any info on how to get it to run on froyo ROMs please let me know

TouchWiz 4 will be realeased for Samsung SGS II with Android 2.3.3. The only way to geht this TW 4 is to export the apk from the SGS II FW to your FW.
I do hope someone will port this when it becomes available.
http://phandroid.com/2011/03/29/samsungs-unique-motion-based-gestures-shown-off-video/
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?
The question is in the title !
WHY ??
Because it sucks.
It doesn't add (I'm fairly sure) any functionality that custom ROM's like CM7 offer, and it bloats the the size of the ROM just for bells and whistles that most nexus users hate, which is why we own nexuses.
TouchWiz 4, like Sense, is a very well polished, fast UI, that AOSP/CM/MIUI are trying to be (and can't - lots of features missing). It's way beyond launcher. But it's made with another HW in mind, and some of its framework might depend on modified kernel functions etc. Which means - it's hard work to port such a thing across to different device.
Since there are no devs to do serious work on this one, you don't have it. It's that simple.
Sad
Ah, so any TouchWiz ROM will be for the N1 , it's that ?
There is a TouchWiz cm7 theme, and you can always use the touchwiz launcher too.
Theres always options...
What is it about these TOuchwiz ICS ROMs that doesn't allow Tablet mode like the AOSP does?
Does Touchwiz even have tablet UI ? Cause from what i've seen in Galaxy Tab etc. they just use stock android launchers etc.
So correct me if im wrong, but i think that touchwiz simply does not include a tablet ui.
If you change a touchwiz ICS rom to 213dpi and reboot it boots into tablet mode.
The problem is the onscreen ICS buttons are missing and most apps FC which leads me to believe it's a resource issue.
Wish the Gtab 8.9, and 10 had an official touchwiz based release of ICS so we could possibly use some of the resources from that to resolve the issues our builds of ICS have in tablet mode...

You're correct to assume it's a resource issue. The TouchWiz found on handsets and TouchWiz UX for tablets are very different. Hopefully, the ICS version of TouchWiz UX for tablets will help to blur the line between tablet and handset; but we're stuck for now.

Doesn't the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0" have ICS + touchwizz ? Couldn't we just take touchwiz from there and put it on a SGN + official ICS now that's it out ?
I think still wait for 2 month... when ICS for table release..
I don't believe it's a good idea to use TW in tablet mode. You better try Apex or Nova. Though whichever launcher you use, make sure not to go lower than 200 PPI because it crashes big time.

Its not just the launcher. With tw roms its the framework that can't handle it.
