[MOD] Modified TouchWiz launcher

---

This is a modified version of the Infuse TouchWiz launcher. Thought I would throw this together for you guys since I saw a couple people mention it.


Features:
-5 column app drawer
-Transparent app drawer background
-No colored icon backdrops in the app drawer
-No icon label backgrounds (Galaxy S II style)
-Removed "Press and hold this page to add content" from empty pages


Update (5/18/2011)
-Fixed alphabetical app drawer style only showing 16 icons per page
-Reverted to default fade animation for the app drawer (the new animation was causing odd behavior)
-Made the app drawer background slightly less transparent (so app names are easier to read)
-Removed icon label backgrounds (Galaxy S II style)


Instructions:
Warning: If you're not familiar with adb, you should install another launcher prior to installing this in case something goes wrong.
1. I recommend using Root Explorer for this process, but if you're an experienced user then you can probably think of several other methods.
2. In /system/app, rename TouchWiz30Launcher.apk and TouchWiz30Launcher.odex to TouchWiz30Launcher.apk.bak and TouchWiz30Launcher.odex.bak.
3. Copy this new TouchWiz30Launcher.apk into /system/app.
4. Set permissions of the new TouchWiz30Launcher.apk to rw-r--r--.
5. You may need to reboot, but probably not.


I do this for fun so you shouldn't feel any obligation to donate, but here's a link if you want to. Donations of any amount are very much appreciated.

im on it. you are the best!

edit: done and working! looks way less cheesy than before. now i dont care for the 5icon docks, if i did id use launcher pro. but i was wondering if the 5x5 home screen view from the tab could work? that is not as important as what you already did though. i am super happy about the backdrops being gone and things being a more reasonable size. the icons dont look so offensive on the home screen in 4x4 but i though 5x5 would fit a bit better.

edit: ok one slight visual bug. on the flyin animation the 5 column seems to be doing what the center column should. it is like the 1-4 columns make a semetrical pattern and then the last on one the right just moves on a vertica plane. not sure if you can fix that but im letting you know.

Is there anyway that I can edit it? I want to play with it so that to maybe get some experience.

TwLauncher is unusable for me until A.) it has a 5 icon dock, and B.) I can move the drawer launcher off the far right icon.

can't help you with the 5 icon dock, but i think you can move the drawer launcher by: opening your drawer > menu > view type > customizable grid > menu again > edit > then you can tap and hold to drag around the app icons, including those on the launcher tray

i don't have the device, but those are the steps i saw on a pocketnow video

look in the i9000 section and pull there launchers over. gtg465 has been at this for a while. i requested the 5 icons in thedrawer because it just looked wrong to me. the 5 icon dock with centered app drawer was done a long time ago and con be found in older version of gtg's launcher for 2.2.1.

you may want to look at launcher pro or adw or go launcher but it breaks the samsung widgets if you dont have touch wiz.
