Total n00b here, but is sense at all possible on this sammy?
There was a group working to get Sense ported over to the SGS lineup of phones. They got it partially working on the GSM versions from what I know, but the project died because they couldn't get most stuff working, and I think it was abandoned.
Bummer. Thanks though 0_o

There are different home launchers that give you the Sense previews at least? Lol. ADW has it.
The only thing that bothered me about downloading launchers is that i could never exclude them from the running program list on the task manager. Any clue on how to do this?

Long press on an empty area of the screen and choose widgets.
that should let you select them.
Not the samsung ones just android

I can't even get the android ones to show up. Am I missing something?
Edit: never mind I do get the android ones.
They are part of touchwiz which you turned off. If someone was/is able to extract them from touchwiz that would be cool. But its all part of touchwiz launcher. Like htc sense. If anyone has pulled some of those I would like to have a few.

X2. I have an Evo and upon installing Launcher Pro I no longer have the ability to use Sense widgets in LP, but going back to Sense I can use them again.
Hi guys. First time posting here. I have a Samsung Epic 4g and I was wondering if there are any roms out there that will get me to a stock Froyo condition. I am not interested in any themes or any extras, just plain old android. Basically, I want my phone to act as if it were a Nexus One. Please advise.
There is a Froyo leak that is going around currently. However, if you really want to make it look like the nexus one, follow these steps.
1. Look in the development section, there's a guide on how to flash froyo.
Next, download Launcherpro and Desktop Visualizer.
The launcher is similar to the nexus ones launcher.
Next, download some nexus one icons online, and use the desktop Visualizer. Its in the widget section and use the first option. The steps are pretty straight forward. Hope this is what you were looking for!
You won't get it exactly like the nexus one anyway due to a different processor btw

Thanks for the reply. However, I should say, I am not looking for a Nexus One look. I am looking for stock android. I have used Launcher pro before... I can't exactly agree with you that it looks like the stock Froyo launcher however. I have disabled the Touchwiz launcher though and am using the stock Froyo launcher. Honestly, I just want a true Google device with no bull on it. Thanks.
We dont have a 100 percent aosp rom.

What is ASOP?

AOSP is android open source project. The straight code from google with no carrier changes.

Will I be able to root the device and then remove certain touchwiz elements?

I come from the Samsung Vibrant Dev area. A friend of mine has a Droid X and all he does is flash Roms, doesn't know much about them. His phone does a TV like on/off animation when the screen goes on and off. What is that? Where is it located/ implemented. any info on it would be great. As search is down right now i cant search it. I am interested in possible porting it.
The liberty tool box has a bunch of different startup animations to choose from, I'm not sure if the one your looking for is in it but it does have the option to add ones from your SD card. Its meant to run on the x with the liberty rom but if you can port it then it might be a good place to start.
Edit:ah just reread your post you're looking for when it goes to sleep, sorry don't know that one. Sounds cool I'll have to look out for it.

Unless his rom is built on 2.3 I don't think it is. Since that power off tv animation is part of 2.3 and 2.3 only good luck.
I think you might be right but I thought it was a feature he was planning on adding. I did some searching and did find that the ultimate Droid has the feature, here's the link...

Edit: and just because its a feature of 2.3 doesn't mean its impossible to port it.

I don't know if anyone has posted this but I found a little trick that made me say "well duh that makes sense."
So I actually like the touchehiz launcher but was having a tough time keeping my apps straight with the new 2.3.3 version as it only allows an editable grid or alphabetical list. I tried adding an old modded version but got a force close. When I restored all my apps were alphabetical in a grid view again. I went about moving the apps around and then went to settings/application/all and cleared the data of TWLauncher and my apps are again alphabetical.
The downfall of doing this is you lose your Widgets but after awhile its the easiest way to clean up the app drawer.

Dude I know a lot of new people here will be delighted to know that but that has been known since anyone posted about wanting to rearrange apps in apps drawer. Nice though that you have the courage to post it again.
Well I may have just forgotten since I've become so accustomed to the modded tw launcher and know that we don't yet have a modded version for GB. I'm sure there is more than one or two frustrated trying to keep all their apps in order right now.

Go dig yourself a hole under that ungrateful bridge of yours.
Well know one, but the best method is download an app in market which can sort the Twlauncher in alphabetical order without cleaning the widget together.
It is call TouchWiz Application Sorter

Ok, I really am not liking Sense UI anymore. I don't really like MIUI or Vanilla Gingerbread. I would like to know where to begin in creating my own custom user interface to run over Gingerbread. Or perhaps a simpler task would be porting over other user interfaces from Motorola and Samsung to run over Gingerbread.

Why not use go launcher or adw or launcher pro. They will replace sense...

Hmm, never thought about that. Nice idea. But I guess my main purpose in making this was to see if anyone has (and can help me) created my own custom UI. It'd be nice I guess.

First you would need to learn Java and C+ coding. Next I would learn Linux as android is Linux and you will need the knowledge to work on the UI.
Have a good look through the 'post your homescreen' thread. There's a wealth of inspiration in there. Have a look in the widget thread too.
Unless i'm wrong it's not the UI that you want to change as such, but what we'd call a Layout. For all intents and purposes it's the same thing. but UI is software whereas layout is graphical. End result being you want homescreens that look nice right?
Good Launcher+Good Widgets+Wallaper+Imagination and you'd be surprised how good you can make your device look. Some of what i see in the Homescreen thread are works of art!

Well, What I really want to do is make my own thing. I mean a couple of starter ideas,
- 6 basic home screens (in a cube shape) you can change when slid vertically or horizontally
- 2-4 (based on how many you want) "tabs" on the side of choice that can hold apps, home screens would mainly be for widgets, can also be used for apps though.
I don't know, Its just ideas I wanted to be able to put into my own UI. I think I may get into coding to make my own UI.
Check out an open source launcher, it will give you an idea of how to do crap, beyond whatever is in the API docs. I think ADW is open sourced.

I would start with flashing a non sense ROM. Thus you'll get rid of sense bloat and will get a stock standard launcher or any other customizable launcher. Just look through available Roms. Personally I'd recommend CM 7.
