TouchWiz ported to Xoom?

Although pure Google is always the way to go, I was wondering if some aspects of the Galaxy Tab's TouchWiz would make its way to the Xoom. I suspect it could but only rooted Xoom's. The advanced multitasking and some of the widgets look decent.
Thoughts?

i say if you want touchwiz then sale xoom and get a GTab 10.1.
But I also believe anything is possible with the devs we have here. Who knows what we will see when source code is released.

custom ui? that sounds to me that when android 3.2 or 4.0 comes out people on the galaxy tab 10.1 will have to wait 6 months until they pimp back the ui to whatever the update will be

i would love to have Mini Apps on my xoom. it's a greet idea from samsung.

I agree, in fact this was the only feature of Touchwiz I really found interesting.

I say, I love Android because you can customise it and it has a great developer scene. What is this forum for if not for these kind of challenges. I would love the mini apps on my xoom. Hell, all the time the Android side shouts about how great the multitasking is and that Ios does not have the real deal...but seriously, as a normal user you do not see a big difference (am I defending IOS....good lord...!). Mini Apps would be a great way to rectify that. And Google should have those kind of stuff in stock in the first place. And the updated Samsung Browser is supposed to be blazingly fast.
So yes, if any of the developers here would port parts of it, it would be greatly appreciated.

I would also love to have the Touchwiz UI ported to the Xoom. If not the whole thing than some features at least. If anyone can help with this it I would love it as well.

yup love to see touchwiz us on the xoom

[Q] Touchwiz, what exactly does it do?

ok touchwiz something removed out of custom roms, but what exactly does it add, since I have only used a samsung rom I dont know which bits are touchwiz and which bits arent.
Also is there a list of the apps that are not included without samsung?
thanks

Samsung apps
Dialer
Contacts mms and sms
Twlauncher
STatusbar
Framework
Locksceeen

Touchwiz is basically the look of your phone ---
The status bar
The icons
The animations( okk they are stock android )
The menus ..settings ..anything and everything u see in a stock rom ( b4 u install anything ) is touchwiz
And custom roms like cm7 use different stuff
The status bar looks better
There are no crappy samsung apps ( though i like the keypad)
The whole ui is better
In short touchwiz sucks :thumbdown: anything thats not touchwiz rocks :thumbup:
P.S. its only my opinion ...and opinions are like a$$#oles --everyone has one
You know you are rooted when you use XDA more than FB

Modded touchwiz is awesome xD

Ya I agree..touchwiz is awesome
Simple
comparatively more functional in few areas
can be modded easily..!!

One thing i dislike with the TW is....it does not offer any good function (who needs Samsung Apps anyway ) . HTC Sense is much awesome than TW with functions like FriendStream:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:....

TW 4 is gangsta people
Defy-ing all limits.

It's Personal taste....
Well as mentioned earlier.....
ROMS and a$$h0l3s.....
Each has their own and like his own.....
Now some Prefer Cyanogen(Dev guys)....
Some Touchwiz(who prefer stock)....
and Some MIUI(iPhone junkies).....
Cyanogen has it's own plus points(Love the gestures everywhere and speeed).....
Touchwiz has it's own(Nice simple UI and no nonsense Dialer and task manager)....
and I don't have used MIUI (but I like the apps and the efforts put behind it)......

But some things are universal
Edit:this line doesnt refer to touchwiz emoboix
Whats sucks will always suck...you cant just change that ( touchwiz i mean)
Like if all of us say that froyo is better than ics ,the facts wont change ...what is better is better...
And touchwiz will suck for eternity
Period
You know you are rooted when you use XDA more than FB

All I know is Touchwiz ain't universal and I love the Touchwiz on the Galaxy Note

Um y'know, i prefer touchwiz.. it's simple and easy to understand.. i found some difficulties when first time using cyanogenmod.. and y'know, every thing has its own plus points ..

@chrcol - It's basically Samsung's user-interface. Deciding the ways in which your fingers can interact with their phones. Although roms have their own independent preset functionality, Touchwiz is the software that defines how you interact with that, like all the long-presses, page-switching, down to things like creating multiple home pages etc.

One of the biggest debates about getting ICS onto 'lesser phones' is that of Samsung not being able to fit Touchwiz 4.0 in with ICS on even a device as good as the Galaxy S. But as other posters have made clear, Touchwiz is not the 'be all and end all', even if it is very good; most importantly it is unique to Samsung, and they won't be renting out other peoples systems. I still don't see the problem with tweaking our current Touchwiz 3 though...

Some features are good.
I flashed the official CM7 on my Ace. Most things are nice. What I miss about Touchwiz is the Dialer, and also the Contacts: Swipe right on a contact to make a call, swipe left to compose a message.

ICS Launcher for Gingerbread :-) Phoenix Launcher

I found this beautyful and light weight ICS launcher called Phoenix Launcher,
here is the link to original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523216
Its still in early stages but on my s2 i updated to ICS and this launcher gives me same feeling on my OB So guys just try it once...
EDIT----
yup the developer has deleted the thread and its available officially on play store

No bro scrolling is good if you put it in system/app folder, but yes if we use live wallpaper scrolling gets bit slow.. I'm switching between go launcher and this and find this one more smooth while scrolling, keep eye on updates they will be new update in some days with lots of improvements

Thanks for this Launcher =)

I'm sorry but on my s2 this has been the best launcher I've tried yet and i'm only using the free version. With the ability to make folders by draging one icon into another i'm an instant fan and I am going to buy the full version.

offcourse everybody has a different taste..
i agree that phoenix is not so good, i didn't like it at all.. it's pretty basic, nothing special and i didn't like the app drawer.
my favorites: launcher pro plus and nemus launcher.
go launcher is quite nice with many options but lacks in performance..
right now i'm trying ss launcher.

Can any one port this S4 launcher???
