Easily removing Touchwiz on ALL Galaxy S phones (Me thinks) and legit. - Vibrant General

Its been right in our faces all this time. I plan on doing this once the froyo update hits. I do see the options shown hear though.
Looks like I'm too new of a user to post links.
YOUTUBE: "How to turn of Touchwiz on the Epic 4G"

That wont work, the vanilla launcher is not installed on our phones, as it is on the epic 4g, i tried this a while back like the first week i got my phone.

I'm pretty sure this is fake. The home launcher is not installed on the vibrant by default.

Hmmm, well I do not believe its fake. Although this was posted from Androidcentral. I'm considering on going to a Sprint store and asking to play with a model for myself Hopefully I don't get someone in trouble. Maybe Samsung heard our opinions on TW?

Why is this in development? It certainly has nothing to do with development at all. It is just a repost from an Android website.

Vibrant9 is going to be touchwiz free.

Or, if you look at the sticky in general, there is now a link for the vanilla 2.1 launcher. You can install that, set it as default, and get the vanilla experience.

yea this is in the wrong section and, it is not applicable for the vibrant, this only works on the epic, Samsung added the vanilla launcher as another option.

You can put any launcher on it you want.
This is dumb though because it doesnt get rid of touchwiz, it is just switching launchers.

Directions for removing touch wiz.
1. Open market
2.hit menu\search
3.type "launcher pro" without collins
4.install and follow app instructions to get running.

MODs - PLEASE DELETE THREAD (Thanks!)

DELETE PLEASE. No longer needed.
People have been running this for a while. Toast hasn't posted this yet for a reason. I've seen devs leave the scene over stuff like this. Let's hope that's not the case here.

Hey, just so everybody knows, this is put together by Toastcfh. It says so right in the kernel version. I know somebody posted this to the Development board, where the thread was locked.
If you want the original, and OP, I suggest doing this, post the link to the IRC. When you enter the room, Toast's latest is available as a bitly link at the top. Please please please give credit to Toastcfh and the other dev's for there work.
Thanks, and it's too bad that you didn't just post the instructions from your source, becase it was directing people to the IRC to get it.
You should peruse the forums here at home more. Toast's CM7 and how to get it have been no secret for a long time.

how solid is this rom? i'm currently running mikrom at the moment and it is FAST! i would like to give this a try also if someone recommends it. what are the flaws?
Pretty solid build IMO. I couldn't get Swype to work though (backup from TB)
Boot time was pretty quick.
Tomorrow, we will see how battery goes...

I posted the thread on android central forum. I stumbled upon toastcfh cm7 by accident during a google search looking for evo shift irc channel. At the time I did not know it was toastcfh's cm7 rom. I apologize when posting the thread on android central if proper recognition and thanks were not given. I am doing so now. I'm also going to edit the original thread I posted giving thanks and recognition to toastcfh for his hard work on this rom.

Swype works fine for me. I had the dreaded GPS issue just like the evo guys get often. I've not tried their fix, been too busy, but it'll probably work.
4G works, I still don't much care for ADW launcher and it's "5" screens. Anyone know if you can set it to "7" like Sense, Launcher Pro?

Not sure what the EVO fix is Smurf, but we've been having success with flashing a Sense ROM, getting GPS lock, then rebooting to recovery, wiping, restoring CM nandroid.

Not sure what you mean about "devs leaving the scene". I merely posted what I found on another forum etc. It's not an official build thread under the "Development" section where I had posted originally where I should not have. It's up to each individual to pursue installing/testing this rom. My post was for informational purposes only in regards to what I had found.

[DEV] Sensation RUU with Sense 3.0

http://911sniper.blog.163.com/blog/static/142900881201131424811433/
http://u.115.com/file/t561343a45
2nd link put in the browser and it'll take you to the download link
Any developer want to take a look at the test ROM leaked and see if we can port sense 3.0 over?
DO NOT TRY TO FLASH THIS! THIS IS NOT A ROM! IT NEEDS TO BE PORTED OVER!
Thunderbolt Rooted!
I don't care for Sense, but that clock seems cool... I'll rip 'er open and see what works.
Edit: wow... slow download on 367MB... I guess I'll work on it in 2 hours when it's done DL'ing.
Agreed. I enjoy stock much better. But I wouldn't mind trying out Sense 3.0 just to see how much different it is. But it'll never replace my stock experience lol.
From what I've read in the reviews, the coolest thing about 3.0 is the customizable lockscreen. I wouldn't mind getting that ported over if it will work on our devices.

No. You can't or better yet shouldn't.

Some questions...

This will be my first Android tablet, but certainly not my first Android device. I've owned basically every Droid Verizon has to offer. SO, here are some questions that I'd like answered, if possible
1. Is it true that if I decline the TouchWiz update (for the WiFi model), I won't be able to get future updates? Let's say I decline the TouchWiz update and a week later, I want it. Can I get it again?
2. Can I change the quick-apps thing in the TouchWiz update without rooting? The thing with the memo pad, calculator, etc.
3. If I root, can I easily remove the screenshot button and quick-apps button from the TouchWiz update? I can tell I'm gonna hate them anyway...
4. Anything else I should know???
If you decline the Touchwiz update you will be losing alot more than updates. You will lose hardware GUI acceleration, advanced multitasking, settings specific to the Tab 10 hardware.
You will be able to change the quick-apps once someone develops a app to do so. Samsung has released the API.

I know about the good things it brings as well, but again, I just HATE the new launcher and screenshot button and quick apps.
Are you saying that when somebody DOES make an app, I won't need to be rooted?

1. I've seen people say that they still get notification for update after declining it first time. Shouldn't be a problem, but if it is, flash a custom rom.
2. At this moment no, I'm hoping in the future it can.
3. If root, you can remove the unwanted apps and freeze or remove the screenshot but it will not remove the button.
4. Do not listen to 5th element. He states a lot of BS knowledge he has and never provides proof, and also makes false statements about custom roms.

Not yet. In the dev section, Phantom (creator of starburst rom) has been busy porting 3.2 to the tab. It will have the "fixes" from TW while being vanilla.

Mini apps tray

Hello there, I have an unrooted galaxy tab with touchwiz ux running android 3.1. I was wondering if anyone knows how to change a couple of apps in the mini apps tray! Thanks for the help ahead of time.

You can't change the apps in the touchwiz bar.

1) Again, Yes you can change the apps in the bar. Remember just because you dont know how to do it does not mean it cant be done. Samsung has released the API to do so.
2) Wizz Bar sucks. All it does is bring up shortcuts to apps which overtake the entire screen. The beauty of TouchWiz is that the apps run on top of whatever app you were already using and you can drag them around the screen. There is nothing like this in the market.

Again, no you can't change the apps in the touchwiz taskbar. You my friend are a deranged person. The mini apps in the touchwiz taskbar are not like regular apps. They are different. Linking some website proves nothing except that you read some blogger as I stated before. Theoretically you can say things like an API is released but realistically you can do nothing as of right now. If you can please post some pics with your screen shot button of regular apps magically running as a mini app. If you cannot post your screen shot then you my friend are still a troll. Not a link, a screen shot.

Remove Bloatware from Nexus 4

Hi everyone
i know nexus 4 comes with stock rom from google, but there must be things that you recommend removing to keep the beast going at 100% pace.
also, i am a privacy geek and would love to know which of apps i should disable to give as least as possible to google?
at one point i remember a rom that was the stock android but it had all of google's collections bots/apps disabled. Cant seem to think of it

If you want to receive OTA updates then you have to keep all the apps but you can disable them.
I've disabled Google movies and magazines.
If you really want to avoid Google you should install cyanogen mod without the gapps. You won't require a gmail account to use your phone but that means you have to use alternative market places.
There are open source apps for almost everything but I've never used them so can't say. I know there is a open source maps app though but probably doesn't come close to Google apps.

It depends on how you define bloatware. Some see it as being anything preinstalled on the device that isn't absolutely necessary, which means that most of the GApps that come on the N4 are bloatware. Personally I disagree with that definition of bloatware but you can see why people may think that way.
