First of all : i love your mod, especially the 5 dock interchangeable
Proposition: could you please get rid of the home icon on the application drawer ( and maybe the screen buttons in the up part if it is required )?
The home button is redundant with the back key anyway and in that way maybe we can have 5 rows of icons in the drawer
Thanks

HI gtg465x your work looks great, is there any reason why this would not work on any other HDPI device? I have pushed the apk to system but the launcher fails to appear when changing home launcher, I have chmod the apk permissions to 644 but still no luck.

Best Regards,

am experimenting on GTG's TWLauncher (new dock + icon tiles) and just wanted to share it if GTG would permit me.

reduced the size of the "dot" page indicator
used the original apps and home icon

This might be the zillionth reply to the original post but in any case, huge regards to gtg465x for this launcher replacement.

I'm propably stating the obvious here but this definetly improved my galaxys experience. Even with a lag fix the tw launcher was laggy while everything else got better. So once again, thank you.

System app?

Is there a way to mark this version of the launcher a "system" app?

I've noticed since I put it on a few weeks back that it tends to restart itself very often when switching about other applications, and I'm wondering if Android's memory management is terminating the launcher when memory is low.

I have noticed this too! I think memory manager on jpy 2.2.1 us very aggressive as I always have a lot more ram free since moving from 2.2

Auto memory manager from the market will allow you set it's priority higher preventing it from shutting down... The app seems to have issues with jpy however

I have same problem...

all launchers will have to be in system, i don't like that in active applications i have running launcher and because i'm i little strange i tend to use and clear RAM memory few times a day, so i close and re open launcher.

I tried to flash the zip in CWM and it hangs on installing update. Can someone please tell me how to install this? The instructions say to move the apk's to the folder but the downloads are in zip format.

I'm trying to install the new dock colored icon version

its not installed through CWM.
extract the file and copy the apk in your phone's /system/app folder using Root Explorer or something similar.
but before you do that rename the original TouchWiz30Launcher.apk to TouchWiz30Launcher.apk.bak

also make sure that you have other launcher installed just in case there is a problem.

after you copied the new TW apk go to your phone settings > applications > manage applications > running then select TW > force stop the app > then clear data

TouchWizGTG Launcher v1.1.1

will this work on samsung vibrant running eugene's latest macnut r14 2.2 rom????

Of course, right in the OP, says this was ported to the Vibrant!:)mo

Edit: No, it doesn't say that, but it works for the Galaxy S i9000 so it'll work for the Vibrant!

    This is a modified, awesomer version of the Froyo TouchWiz launcher.

    ---The end has come :( (15/2)---

    I have some bad news for you guys. I was waiting for a new Captivate Froyo release because the Captivate version of TouchWiz has more features and would be a better base to build upon. I thought the Captivate would get the update in December or January and I would have a new version of TouchWizGTG out by now, but Samsung USA and AT&T still haven't released the update. Worse news... I got tired of waiting for updates and a stable build of CyanogenMod, so I bought a Desire HD today. I'm sort of a sucker for HTC Sense. Sorry for the letdown. :( So long Galaxy S. Your gorgeous Super AMOLED screen will be missed. Your GPS will not.

    Anyone and everyone has permission to pick up the project. I will try to put together all of my modified files and post them sometime in the next few days.

    ---Vote now! (21/12)---

    So here's the deal. I'm considering creating a new version of TouchWizGTG (with JPX TW launcher or newer as a base) sometime in the next three weeks since I'll be on vacation. HOWEVER, I will NOT be creating a million different versions to please everyone this time. Sorry, but creating all of those different versions and testing each one for each release was extremely tedious and it made me lose interest in the project.

    Go here and vote on your favorite feature set. I will create the TWO that have the most votes plus one of my choosing if it's different than the other two.

    ---Update (9/11)---

    -Due to demand, I am posting variations of the new dock version with 16-bit mode disabled and landscape mode disabled. As a refresher, 16-bit disabled versions sacrifice speed for slightly better image quality.

    ---Update---

    -Due to demand, I am posting versions that have the colored icon backdrops in the app drawer. Apparently some people like those ugly things.

    ---New in v1.1.1 (30/10)---

    -Updated international language files (there is no need to update if you use English)

    ---New in v1.1 (30/10)---

    -Smoother fly-out animation when leaving app drawer
    -New version with redesigned 5-icon dock! :cool: (screenshots further down in post)
    -No more 16-bit disabled version... everyone seemed to prefer the speed improvements of the enabled version

    ---Features---

    -Landscape mode (270° rotation)
    -Transparent app drawer background and no icon backdrops
    -New fly-in effect for app drawer icons
    -Ability to set the default home screen location
    -Ability to sort the app drawer alphabetically
    -Galaxy Tab specific code removed to reduce app size
    -Enabled 16-bit mode for faster/smoother animations

    New 5-icon dock version! To change the icons in the dock, hold and drag the one you want to replace out, then go into the app drawer (or from homescreen) and hold and drag the one you want in. Blurrycam tutorial

    Installation (If you're a noob, I recommend using Root Explorer. If you're not, you probably don't need this installation guide.)

    1. In /system/app, rename the default TouchWiz30Launcher.apk and TouchWiz30Launcher.odex (if applicable) to TouchWiz30Launcher.apk.bak and TouchWiz30Launcher.odex.bak.
    2. Copy this new TouchWiz30Launcher.apk into /system/app.
    3. Set permissions of the new TouchWiz30Launcher.apk to rw-r--r--. You can probably get by without doing this. Haven't tried it.
    4. Important! If you are installing the new dock version you must clear launcher data to unhide the apps that were in your dock previously. Go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications > Running > com.sec.android.app.twlauncher and then force stop, clear data, and press home. If you don't see com.sec.android.app.twlauncher, look for TwGTGLauncher.

    Who wants the modified xml?

    Here ya go! Someone better make TouchWizGTG for Galaxy S II now that they have my secret sauce.

    Sorry, no support for these files. You'll have to figure out what to do with these and how to compile yourself.
