Even though I am wishing Samsung would bring Epic's TW and media player current with that of other Galaxy S phones with release of Froyo update, but if it doesn't, is there another way we could install the Galaxy S media player in Epic?? Can it apk be exported from Captivate, Vibrant or another Galaxy S device and installed on Epic??
Edit: From another thread, seems like Froyo update would bring the Galaxy S player to Epic. Really happy about it!!
We have TW 3.0 and all the stuff that comes with it on Froyo.

Thanks Firon for confirming it. From other's comments, it looks like everything from TW3.0 has finally made it to Epic, except the lock screen and its music widget. I wish there had brought over the dynamic music player widget for lock screen over.

My android progression was
G1->Behold 2->G1->Nexus One
That behold 2 had great hardware and just god-awful software. Touchwiz blows, we all know it.
Priority One- Get this phone to stock. ASAP.
Yes I agree and using Odin flasher sucks. I'm hoping for better development here on xda.

Touch wiz 3.0 is looking great. Its getting very good reviews. I don't have any experience with earlier versions though.
Been big fan off sense long time, and last samsung i did not like the Touchwiz, but now on Sgs with 3.0 i like it quite alot, and was fast as hell in begining but have slow down a litle bit now after a week use with more apps and stuff. But other then that it looks very nice and working great. With a task killer it helps speed it upp tho
Sounds like a bunch of baseless garbage. TouchWiz 3.0 looks extremely nice.
Again, ths isnt touchwiz 2, its touchwiz 3. Touchwiz 3 is fine and so far I havent seen one person or review who have said they dont like it, not one.

I think it's fine! the app menu is very good. The only problem are the lack of a few widgets compared to sense. But they can be produced or downloaded from the market.
I'll give it a shot I guess. Someone's porting it to the Nexus, so I'll try it there. Obviously we need at least 2.2 though.
I guess I just don't trust Samsung after the Behold 2 debacle.

I'm loving touchwiz 3, (coming from sense) I prefer touchwiz 3

I am a HUGE fan of TouchWiz 3.0! TouchWiz sucked really bad on my i8910, but I gave touchwiz a try on the SGS and it's a great introduction to Android.
It basically marries some of the good features of the iphone with Android. I like it.
youtube.com/watch?v=xAqZ5Hk96QY&feature=player_embedded
LOOKS BAD ASS! best UI ive seen on any android phone.
People are so quick to bash Touchwiz 3.0 without even knowing what it is.
Its a completely different beast from Touchwiz 2.0.
Id take it over Sense UI, ive had Sense for over a hero on my HTC Hero.
That look awesome, i wonder where is this build came from.
Maybe some one could get hold so we can try it too.
Its a Froyo and doesn't look like a same UI we are using now on Éclair.
Yeah they somehow got the samsung widgets to work, with launcherpro, it looks fantastic though, and from the video, galaxy is handling it like a champ. that GPU does wonders for the live wallpaper.
plus im a big music head, Samsungs music player is far superior to any other music player available on android.
My bad i thought its a Froyo
Id also love to know how he is running a launcher over touchwiz....looks awesome.
you just download launcherpro off the market place....
people are all stressing about this touchwiz 3.0 and saying they dont want the galaxy because of the touchwiz....
you can easily replace it....i dunno what the big deal is about it.
Plus touchwiz adds a lotta other cool features besides the home.
but i heard running a launcher stops touchwiz from running? or was i mis informed?
So it seems like the Samsung music app isn't compatible with any scrobblers, as far as I know. It's a real shame too, because I really enjoy the lock-screen controls, and it's a fairly decent music player. It's a lot smoother and prettier than the scrobbling-solution that I have in place for now, DoubleTwist.
The response from the last.fm forums doesn't seem to indicate that last.fm will be the ones to apply the solution, and SLS is rather quiet lately. I don't know where to begin contacting Samsung, but Android devs are more likely to get to the root of this.
Anyway, it would be really nice if someone could help fix this. I'm no developer, the best I can do is make some noise or a donation, but I'd really like to see scrobbling support on our Galaxy S music players.
I agree. It would be nice. Although, worst case, when CM6 is released for the phone, I can have the old music player back and scrobbling will work once again
I AGREE! The Samsung music app is pretty slick, wish scrobbling would work though.
just grab the music.apk from CM5.0.8 for the nexus. works like a charm for me, especially since the samsung music doesn't have a desktop widget that works on any of the other launchers as far as I can tell.
Ouch. I just noticed this myself. I wonder if the samsung music player is proprietary...

Forget the stock android music app or Samsung app, checkout the music app "Cubed" (as in cubed symbol). Search for "filipe" in the market. Cool music app, looks great on the Vibrant and it has built in last.fm scrobbling.

Yeah, I ended up using cubed after hearing good things about it on this forum. It looks quite amazing, and works rather well, unlike how cover flow usually end up being useless.

So far there is no confirmation from any reviewer, but it looks like the Epic's lock screen won't have any puzzle-piece like new message/voicemail notifications. Music player controls might also be missing. It may be a personal preference, but I liked the clock text and placement on the original galaxy s phone more. So, in short my question is how hard is it to bring those lock-screen goodies to Epic? Will it require lot of hard work from developers or is it relatively easier?

It's likely that the frameworks for the Epic are different enough from the other GS phones that it wouldn't work just by placing the APK in the right spot. It will probably take some smali/baksmali work to get it working, but this is not impossible at all. Lots of lock screen from others devices where ported to the CDMA Hero, which is what I still rock.
I think they will keep the music lock feature on the Epic 4G. It is a Touch Wiz 3.0 feature of which the Epic 4G has.

Apparently we now learn that it is actually not TouchWiz 3.0, but more like version 2.5 instead. So far the difference I noticed are - different lock screen, inability to edit screens and apps in dock and contacts app is missing history tab. Hope these could be restored in Epic through developers or samsung itself.
*UPDATE*
I have updated my thread in development with a download and guide for installing TouchWiz UX on our Tab 10.1's.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15516290#
Okay this is getting ridiculous...!
Currently there is a TouchWiz UX rom avaliable for...
Asus EeePad:

Tab 10.1v:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155023
All of which appear to be based off a 3.1 Rom for OUR device... So why is it I can't find a single thing about installing 3.1 TouchWiz UX on OUR 10.1!?
i feel you brother this is crazy no devs i guess on the 10.1 i need to start going to school and learn my self lol
That's okay. I'm pretty meh regarding TouchWiz. Has kept me away from sammy phones. I know, ROMS, but when you lean over the bleeding edge, there are no ROMS.
Just saw this video that shows all the features of touchwiz. I don't care how much people want to know it. If half the stffntheynjust showed works without force closing I'll beeee soooool stoked. It impressed the pants off me. http://youtu.be/hlLP3RXkmUQ
" hang on to your dookie, its about to get spooky "
Yay! Managed to get it booting on my tab.
I've been using it about 15 minutes and I love it! The book reader is great... I love the bounce scrolling and the new colours are very nice. Everything has a better feel and still seems super fast.
I might get some instructions up tomorrow for how I did it. Bed time for me now though.
The thing I want to know is if it has improved video playback.
Sent from my Fascinate with MIUI Gingerbread
I'm looking forward to the Allshare app, official DLNA support, the Media hub, and the mini app tray/bar.
It definitely adds another level to the tablet and will impress many consumers. I haven't actually owned anything Samsung beside cameras but I'm impressed so far with this tablet.

I have a 3G Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Touchwiz (sold in Sweden).
While I don't mind some of the apps that Touchwiz brings I hate their OS-wide changes, while iOS-style overscrolling doesn't really change anything their altering of default UI element does. They have changed buttons, dialogs, menus, fonts and more making many applications look odd as they don't have the same design as Samsungs own apps.
They have also changed they background of the status bar so when it is in "light out" mode it is still very noticeable (default is completely black, Samsung is grey with a light border on top). This is very annoying when watching movies!
All in all I rather be without Touchwiz.
It's only a theme - it'll be customizable at some point

My only annoyance with TouchWiz UX so for is that it has that gray bar at the bottom rather than black... I get that it fits there theme but black still blends in the the tablet better... We'll be able to change that later though once the rom is deodex..
Aside from that I love all the other changes. Everything just looks more 'styled' and less 'neon' which I love.
Their eBook application is the best app I've ever used on Android.. except maybe Tasker..
Social Hub app is a great Twitter/Facebook integration.
Their widgets are very cool except they seem to slow down the homescreen a tad due to their large size (don't worry! you can always remove them )
The mini apps are so very cool. You can bring up a little calculator/note taking app/calendar/and more and move it to the side of the screen and keep interacting with whatever app you're running under it while it stays on the screen! Awesome feature that Google should definitely look at adding.
Copy and Paste now has a large clipboard that you can build up multiple items on!
There are even problems in Honeycomb 3.1 that are now fixed
e.g. In 3.1 stock if you want to change your lockscreen wallpaper to a custom image from your gallery you had to go to settings> display>screen settings>lockscreen wallpaper now you can do it from the top-right Plus or long-press home screen
The browser is actually smoother and handles pinch gestures much better and has some cool new features you can enable in settings.
There is motion control like tilting your tablet to change homescreens when placing a widget
The quick control toggles are much faster and to get into Settings is now only 2 taps rather than 3.. another thing Honeycomb should have had from the start.
And much more things that I'm missing... This is definitely an upgrade.
I'm uploading a rom now and will update my Thread in development when it's uploaded so everyone can flash TouchWiz UX.

Update with Download and Guide
Hey I have updated my Development post with a download and guide for flashing TouchWiz to our Tab's... Check here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15516290#
Any update on when touchwiz will officially be released for us? I know Samsung set the hard date of "coming soon", but I didn't know if there was any further update.
The screenshot button is useless and gets in the way. If the screenshot app was combined with the note app it would be great. You would pop up the notes and annotate whatever is on the screen and save it all.
why is everything so fricken big? I dont see the reasoning behind all the text being like 90pt font...
Hi guys. Since I bought my DHD I was looking for a better Music player - the stock one was ok but i missed some stuff coming from an ipod touch. Then I found this one: PlayerPro, and its even better than an ipod
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tbig.playerpro&feature=search_result
The only thing lacking was SRS/Dolby support so i went on their forums and asked for it. And shortly after that the Dev emailed me and said he was working on it^^ Never happened to me before He's a really nice guy. Anyway so I helped him with betatesting and now this Player has full SRS/Dolby support on the DHD!
And a ton of other features too! Volume buttons for Track next/prev support, Headset controls, load covers from the net, different views, full playlist support and and and and. Even a pretty good video player is on board
I know this sounds like an advertisement and the player costs a little something but i just want to inform. No financial interest.
cheers!
Hehe PowerAmp is good I also like the stock player! I'll download the trial for this program xD
Yeah, playerpro has been my player of choice for ages now. I have tried a few, inclusive poweramp and in my opinion it leaves all others light years away.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
PlayerPro is also my player of choice! Great app with lots of potential and nice design
The funny thing is: I came from stock (with Dolby) to PlayerPro on Froyo because of the equalizer plugin which was way better than the PowerAMP one. Then I was going nuts because O2 Germany didn´t release the gingerbread update (build in and powersafing equalizer) - so I made a goldcard and flashed ARHD. (it was definitly worth it!) And now after happily using ARHD + PlayerPro + build in equalizer, SRS is back I´m realy happy, because this enhances my daily music hours even more!
Thank you for asking and helping the dev
I love the player, it's much better then the stock but I only have one complain, that's lack of good integration of music control in the lock screen.

PlayerPro is the best one XD
I hope they'll integrate google music in it when google publish API for it XD

Been using PlayerPro since my HTC Desire. Its great, thanks for the update on the extra sound enhancement, have been using Muiu Music Player since using Miui based ROM for the past few weeks. IMO, PlayerPro has the best album information and album art organisational system, very simple to use...the best part is the super smooth scrolling of the album art...got to get back onto it! =D
