Touchwiz

So the other galaxy s phones have touchwiz 3.0 and the epic has 2.5? Why would they take away all the internal storage and dumb down the software?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

A quick search and you'll discover that the Epic has TW 2.5 because of the phyiscal keyboard, which uses landscape mode more often than the other phones in the Galaxy S Series. TW 3.0 was not fully optimized enough for landscape mode at the time of release.
The choice was to further delay the release of the phone or use a modified version of TW 2.5, and most of us are happy to have the phone with 2.5 than have no phone at all.
If you must have 3.0, I suggest a different phone on a different carrier or wait to purcahse our Epic after the update (date TBA)...

I know very little about touchwiz except from playing with the epic so can someone tell me what touchwiz 3 provides over 2.5?

Im roaming in a 1xrtt area so searching for things is a nono. And im only asking a question, no need to get defensive bruh. But anyways, so the other galaxy s' cant use landscape mode as efficiently? Or just the home screen?

I think touchwiz 3.0 is just alot more eyecandy like the puzzle lock screen and the updated media player. Idk im not well versed in touchwiz. I wish they gave an option to go vanilla. I hated when they took that option off from the hero when they updated it to eclair

It's part eyecandy and part functionality. 3.0 supports changing the icons at the bottom bar and adding and removing pages from the home screen, for starters. 3.0 is a nice jump ahead of what 2.5 offers.

I have 3.0 on mine...

Sense UI on ANY Galaxy S phone?

Has anyone seen sense ui running on any galaxy s phone?
I think I'm one of the few that beleives stock android sux and sense ui is great.

Th only way that will happen is if you find a way to port it over. It was tried on the Droid but was not very successful. Your best bet is to either buy a HTC device or get widgets that look similar.

Your best bet would be to just use launcher pro.

The power of the Fascinate would never be used in Sense. Its used in....games

I believe someone, maybe even a couple people said they would attempt to port over SenseUI when Froyo is released. Don't know who they were or if they still intend to do so, but I think there is a thread about it in the development section somewhere as people were looking for the new SenseUI from the Desire HD.

Might be a port one day. Lol. I'm not sure why though when there's no shortage of HTC devices.

Sense 3.0

Do you think custom ROMs will allow us to have HTC's Sense UI 3.0 on this phone?

Oh... boy... here we go.. i admire you for having the balls to ask about Sense UI in Samsung thread. Hehe. Short answer is NO!!!

You never know.. The original SGS has turned out a terrific developers phone so if the SGS2 has unlocked bootloaders i cant see why not
If htc sense is that important though just wait from the sensation

I'd love to have it, with the recent reports showing the horsepower that it have coupled with Sense 3.0 that would be the perfect phone to have

If people want the HTC Sense experience then they should look at a HTC Phone. Although a Port is possible, its very time consuming and by the time someone actually port's it over with all the drivers working, your device will be close to the yearly refresh and you will want the next best thing. This will leave the developer in a limbo where his efforts didnt truly pay off.

It's not possible, Galaxy S is half baked, Nexus S also try, half baked. Samsung uses totally different structure on android Nexus S can't even port TouchWiz and its the same manufacturer. I would love to get S II spec wise it blows the Sensation out.

Get a HTC and you will have sense and you don't have to worry or stress about being ported or not.

I see you have a Motorola Atrix 4G. What do you think about it? I'm in doubt between Atrix, S II and Sensation.
Thank you!

Ugh, how can people even like Sense. It is the worst android UI out of all the custom ones out there.

Id say its all about taste. Personally I think motorola's UI is the worst, followed closely by the apple wannabe touchwiz. Funny, I actually hated sense as well at first, but now that im using it for a while, I LOVE IT.
Also, its because htc has added soooo much functionality, like finding/wiping/ringing from anywhere(laptop) incase its lost, or stolen, etc. Plus auto-backup of messages, apprx 100 very useful widgets, plus may apps wich save you a lot of time if you had to download one by one. Basically, its a complete package that looks good and offers functionality that no other manufacturer can even come close to, especially being built in from start. no headaches. I myself wish it could be ported but I doubt, especially with how "involved" its gotten lately

I had a Galaxy S, then Atrix and now Inspire. Next I'm buying Galaxy S II because the bootlogger is unlocked and I want the light weight, dual core processor power and video enhancements.
The Inspire is amazing. I like it far better than the Atrix because I can put custom roms on it. I was able to root the Atrix and do a few modifications but it was very limited. I strongly recommend the Inspire.
The Sensation is locked down as is the Atrix. If you want a good out of the box phone Atrix is as good as you get until the Galaxy S II arrives. Sensation will be great but probably about the same as the Galaxy S II.
It is hard to recommend a phone without knowing what you do with your phone. For me the unlocked boot logger is the difference between buying and not buying.

Personally I prefer Sense.I think that Samsung have basically copied the iPhone in design and UI. If someone could remove the native Samsung bloat and add sense, all would be good in the world(for me at least)

Couldn't have put it better, dude. trouble is, can we have the best of both worlds?
Sent from my RafDroidHD using Tapatalk

I think we can. If enough people that have bought a SGS2 ask for sense then I am sure someone(developer) will be willing to design it for SGS2. From what I have seen of custom roms so far, I think that there are some more than capable developers out there that could do it. If I could write code I definitely would(perhaps I should start learning. The only question is can an old dog(me) learn new tricks?????)

There's a doubleshot ROM available
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207197
I don't think any devs are interested in porting it anyway, I tried it and the new mysense was boring and kinda sucked IMO, the regular 3.0 is better.

I also get bored with mysense but I also get equally bored with sense as well. I really want a flyer port for homescreen landscape.

I tried the double shot port, and there wasn't any lockscreen shortcuts (or any other lockscreens) and you could only have 5 home screens... Although it was smooth, and the launcher is pretty effin nice... Gonna stick with unity for now

Yeah htc really downgraded mysense, as they did in prev versions, idk why they would only give it 5 screens...That's so dumb, kinda limits what widgets you can actually use if you ask me.

Maybe I should have been more specific. I don't mean the ROM. I meant some of the features from the new touchwiz. Like the one where the screen won't turn off if you are looking at it.

This, yes that is alot easier and more along the lines I would actually bother to download it.

I was able to install s-voice. Im running AOKP build 36. Its works some times. Sometimes it FC, also another thing that happens is the audio being outputted through the earpiece instead of the back speaker.

So how come we don't at least take touchwiz 4.0 off the blaze? it's got pretty much the same hardware. I'm all for ICS, but would really like a update to Touchwiz.

We are already on TW4.0. And I think it has other hardware differences too, but not sure. The Galaxy S3 is on TW5

I have a Note and almost all those have been ported/pulled. Take a trip to the i717 forums and see if the pulled .APKs work.

The galaxy s1 had Ports that were crazy coming from the vibrant I know with experience. I guess its difficult with so few devs or I don't know. The vibrant was truly a sublime experience. Too bad that carrier phones don't get good specs or source codes or updates for that matter or this phone would be as fun as the nexus or the international s2. But hey we get burned by the American market every time. If we could get universal technology it would be a bigger market all together.
