Does anyone know if the touchwiz 3.0 ui has been ported for the eris or hero? I know it has been ported for the nexus one, and it works on the eris, but it seems like it was ported for the larger screen that the nexus has because the icons seem to be too large.
hey.. i have the touchwiz ui on my eris and it works very well
no root required just go to the link
just look for
touchwiz3 launcher for the Spica
i hope this works for you
Works great and display size seems pretty on point. Thanks for the info.
The ui or lau?ncher

Use the mirrored download links near the bottom of the OP.
Here is the apk for direct download on to your Eris

can you customize the 4 on the bottom yet? I cant find how. BTW thanks for the link. It actually runs pretty smooth. I kinda like the interface as well as LP but need to be able to customize it.

Open the app drawer, press the menu softkey, and select edit. Then simply drag the desired app shortcuts into the dockbar.

Ok cool... only down side is if you use something like apps organizer (like I do) which creates shortcuts to app groups. You cant put one down there cause, although it uses shortcuts, they are not in the app drawer.
How do you theme the (6) icons that pop-up when you press the Menu button ? I'm referring to Settings, Search, Add, Wallpaper, etc, etc. The images don't appear to be in framework-res.apk. I've looked in a few other folders/files with no luck so far.
And if anyone knows where to get replacement images, can you please point me in the right direction ?

I believe they are in the vendor.apk and if you have a launcher like launcherpro you'll also have to them those as well.
No idea where to get custom images except from other ROM's or themes from those that have taken the time to colorize or otherwise theme the menu options. Hope it helps some.
I found a "vending.apk" but not the images that I was looking for. I'm using ADW too, by the way.

Sorry my bad, vending is for the settings menu, the images you are looking for are in the framework-res.apk, they begin with "ic_menu_", sorry for the mis-info
No need to apologize I'll look through there again. I've found "ic_menu..." images in there before (in 'drawable-mdpi' ?) but not ALL of them. Of course, there's over 700 to look through.

Other apk files contribute to that menu, depending on the app you have open. They all should start with ic_menu... Are you wanting to theme just the home screen? If so, some are in framework, settings and adw. If you need some help, send me a pm...

Yes, just the home screen at this point. I did find some of the images in framework-res.apk and I suspected the the launcher app must change things too. That's disappointing because when ADW updates, I have to change/update the image(s) again.
With your experience Macrodroid, how practical is it to take the existing images and edit them with The Gimp, for example ? Can I change the 'object' color and the background (easily) using that ?

I use paintshop pro to edit images. Gimp should work about the same. I also use 7-zip to edit the apk's.
As far as updates for adw goes, just save the images you change in a folder on your PC. When they update, pull the apk from your phone, open the drawable folder for the images, copy your images to the apk and save it. Resign the apk when your done and push it back to your phone. Or, if they don't change the filename on you, you can create an mm theme with a lit less hassle. If you need some help setting anything up, drop me a pm... I'll be more than happy to help you out...

You Can Create labels with a long home shortcuts click on your Android home with sense interface, you can set your labels, save and import settings, change icons (sense original an other icons) to the labels, set bookmarks, multilanguage support, and more.
I hope you like it and enjoy

This app is really nice. Its works on the my LL 7ck100.
Maybe i missed something. I downloaded the apk. transfered to sd card. opened and installed it. Long press on screen and icon appears. tap on icon and box appears but doesnt do anyhting. What am i missing? Thanks for any help.
works on my Vibrant. this app is freakin sweet.thnx
Very nice app man! It's what i was looking for weeks!
Thankyoouuu!!
thank you verry much!!!!!!
ich love this app!!
great app,one thing though, could you please make the icons for the folders appear at the same height as the normal sense ones? For example the internet icon from your app is a bit higher placed on the screen than the normal sense one.
Edit: Found the bug, if you add the folders to homescreen from within the application the icons are placed jsut right,if you add them from android homescreen they appear missplaced.
And one mroe thing,how to i add bookmaks?
Works great with my htc wildfire!
Thanks man!
can u make an option to remove the name of the label i like to just see the icon with no name under it
thanks a lot for this useful app.installed for 3 days.it is so great.
I have AppsOrganizer 1.0 installed. When trying to install this app, it asks me to uninstall appsorganizer. Is this the same app maybe?

Hey guys I need your help.
So far, I've been wanting something to the equivalent of CM7's lockscreen (because it has no "background" to it.) I want to change my LCD density so the screen is a 'higher' resolution, and the stock Droid 3 lock screen looks like crap when I change the LCD density. No I don't want to use CM7 right now (no offense Hashcode) I love CM7 but I need all my phones features. I would prefer to stick to a base lock screen and not use an add on app (for speed and memory usage.) So if anyone knows a .zip file that will take care of my lock screen, or an app that will replace my lock screen ( not cover it up) I will be very thankful.
Cheers,
Chaotic
just curious as to the point of a "higher density" look outside the native res?

Are you asking what it looks like? I'm assuming you are, so depending on how low you set the density. (lower means higher "resolution" for some reason) I set mine to 190, stock is 240, and everything is crystal clear, no display problems, and the apps and widgets take up less space (more apps per page for me is a plus) I honestly love it, the only problem is the lockscreen background (slider and volume switch) doesn't match up at all.

Haven't tried myself to rise the density. So I'm not sure if it works, but you can try with a third party lock screen, like widgetlocker, lockbot, or agile lock)

Yeah I've tried 2 of those. The only problem with that is those aren't built into the framework of the ROM. I want something that works 24/7, instantly after startup, screen lock, etc. I'll try agile lock as I havent used that yet. Thanks for the suggestions!
On HTC phones, the default lockscreen isn't built in to the framework too, i consider it a plus as you can get back the AOSP lockscreen just uninstalling the apk.

Hmm. Interesting.. Well the best lockscreen replacement app I've found is widgetlocker, because it uses root to actually "replace / remove" the stock lockscreen.

Surely is the one with the best features (eg. you can slide to unlock, or add a flashlight slider) lockbot is slow (at least it was when i tried it), agile is nice if you like the sense stile (and I'm not one of them), btw agile has a nice feature: it overcome one of the most annoying things on the default motorola home (unlike any other launcher app,if you install an alternate launcher you loose the ability to launch it)

You can get apps off of the market, I use Rom Toolbox (got it off of the internet because I didn't want to pay) or you could search Density Changer. Theres tons of apps on the market, and don't set your density below 180 (at that point everything is too small to read). I use 190 - 200..
I found where the lockscreen background is located..
On /system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi.
Its called zz_moto_lockscreen_sd_door.png
and another with _land.png after "door".
Is there a way to remove this without destroying my phones integrity?
Open it up in Photoshop, GIMP, or any other image editing program that accepts transparent backgrounds. Then all you do is select it all, and erase it.

The only problem with that is the fact that all the files are in the framework-res.apk file. I have no idea how to pull the file out and then put the modified file back in. I was using root explorer to find it..
Edit : Oh and root explorer only has the option to extract the file when I long-press it. No deleting or other options.

Copy the framework-res.apk and paste it in the root of your SD, then put it on your PC and unzip with 7zip. When you're done, Zip it back up and rename from .zip to .apk
Thank you so much! Haha I'm new to android so I have a pretty large learning curve from all the days of hacking my and my friends ipods/iphones.
Sorry, another question, would I have to use ADB shell to push the file back onto my phone, or is it safe to use root explorer to just put the file back into it's place?
Nevermind guys. I just flashed Liberty, and it has all of the stuff that I need. So if the mods want to lock this thread or leave it open for future purposes, its on you. Thanks for everyones help!

Hey guys,
Since a couple of us are looking for this mod, I decided to give it a go myself. I found this post to help - although it's for the Touchwiz launchers, I figured it could be adapted to ours as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=27433971
I found similar settings in our home.apk and modified them, however upon uploading the modified home.apk, nothing changed. I tried making several edits, none of which actually changed something visible on the screen. I went as far as completely erasing the home.apk from the phone - still it was somehow being used as the default launcher, which has me believing that another file is used as the launcher. I used system\app\home.apk. Maybe someone with some more knowledge can shed some light on this so we can get this mod going?

Hey gregbradley,
Just finished testing. The modified Home.apk is based on the pre-installed V6.0.2A.0.13 of the apk. I've created a 5x4 version for 6.1.A.0.5 as well - attached below. Small install instruction - if you haven't installed 6.1.A.0.5 yet, do so first. Copy this file into data\app. It's not needed to have the modified Home.apk installed, if you already have though, you can simply install the update and copy this file into the right place for it to work.
Modification for both versions are the same: decompile, inside res\values-sw360dp\ you'll find 3 files, 2 which need editing:
- integers.xml needs 2 be modified to include the following code:
<integer name="desktop_grid_columns">4</integer>
<integer name="desktop_grid_rows">5</integer>

- dimens.xml has the following line, value changed from 113.0 to 90:

That's all that I changed so far. Tons of different values that can be changed as well but since I'm at work I have limited time to mess with that at the moment.
Many thanks, but it doesn't look good in landscape mode. Maybe something needs working on there...
Do you have a stock version of that file, like a noob I didn't make a copy of the stock one..thanks

Ohhh sorry I did not touch landscape mode, takes a few minutes to fix so I'll have a corrected version up in a bit (just let me wolf down this fried rice first ).
One of the reasons why I haven't touched landscape is because I don't use it myself. In fact, I'm not even sure how to enable that as mine locks in portrait mode on the homescreen.

you can use xposed additions module to enable "Global user rotation" which allows all apps to rotate, Then when I use my power jacket or dock I get a rotated homescreen.

Got the phone in landscape mode now. Question though - the reason I never use my homescreen in landscape is because it messes up the dimensions of the screen. Either you keep the 5x4 layout, get very cramped/stretched icons/widgets, or you change it to 4x5 which is much more logic, but then your apps/ widgets will end up getting all messed up with the bottom row being removed. Since you use your phone in landscape, which of the 2 has your preference..?
