Hi!
I have a Samsung Omnia Lite (B7300) with Windows Mobile 6.5, with some touchwiz features, like today, file manager, menu and that stuff. Is there any way for me to just have Samsung Touch Wiz, like the Samsung Star S5230 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OV6jQBSW1ME)? I like that interface more, the keypad, bigger buttons, menus and all that stuff. So basically, can I "remove" my Windows Mobile 6.5 and replace it with the touchwiz from the Samsung Star S5230?
Or maybe I can do this but with Android? Ive seen the XDAndroid, but it doesnt support my phone, can I get that to work?
Thanks in advance.
Your talking about puting a Symbian UI in a Windows Mobile phone... Impossible. XDAndroid would be a complete OS replacement (you wouldn't be using WinMo anymore) but has you said it doesn't work on your device (I bet you already noticed this is HTC land...) and I don't think you could get it to look like the Symbian Samsung UI). You can try finding alternative apps for WinMo and skin them.
There's this widget based today plugin called FEWidget. You'll need to modify the theme and images if you want it to match the Samsung Widget interface (you won't have the same widgets and features that use Samsung exclusive apps may not work... like the FMRadio and TouchPlayer widgets). You may create your own widgets if you know how. You can also create the bottom bar "buttons" to look like the Symbian version and make them launch the desired apps.
Combine that with an app to hide the bottom bar like nuenobar (dont know if FEWidget supports this).
You can find other 3rd party skinnable apps for the other components you mentioned.
Either that or if you know Flash you can try to decompile the swf file used by the plugin (should be in the windows folder) and modify it. Overwrite the file in the Windows folder (maybe by cabing the file you modified and intalling it). Not sure at all if this is possible.
The dialer is skinable/hackable (search around how to). Many Samsung apps may be also skinable/hackable.
Either way this may take a lot of knowledge, work, time and patience.

Thanks for the reply
Well, ive allready got Samsung Touchwiz in my Samsung Omnia Lite, so ive got the touch player widgets and some of that stuff.
As you see on the S5230, on the "today" screen at the bottom theres three buttons, phone, contacts and Menu. How can I get those, in that size?? If I use that "nueNoBar" can I get it back to normal? And, can I turn of that multitasking feature, so if i have an app running, I can just click the "hang up" button to get back to the today screen, and the app will close automatically?
You seem quite novice... You can't modify Samsung apps freely to fit your taste with that ease. I suggest you give up on my previous suggestions and try a 3rd party shell replacement...
I assume there may be a third option: hide both top bar and bottom bar, use Samsung widget and also something like HS++ to make a small theme just with the buttons to launch the dialpad and the other stuff (fairly easy... read the instructions).
About the multitasking I don't know who wouldn't want it. If you really want to close the app there should be a task manager provided by Samsung (swype your finger up beggining at the bottom and outside the screen). ALso I recommend installing WkTask to close apps on "X" rather than minimize.
PS: Running the toggle bar apps will show the bar again.
Hello,
I am looking for a way to mask the fact that Android is running on our embedded platform. I was hoping to get some help from someone here who would know how to run a given apk instead of the 'Launcher2.apk' on boot.
Things I do need to hide to make it as transparent as possible from boot to application launch - where no android recognizable items should be seen.
- No unlock screen
- No status bar
- No application list icons
Sounds like the ideal thing to do would be to simply not launch launcher, and launch my apk instead.
I know something like this is possable since launcher pro used to fire up the browser when it had expired. Could u create some kind of launcher to open a app (sorry not a dev so not sure weather this will work)

Product Description
Application Folder
Create your folders
Application Folder
A variety of icons
Serious Widgets and Folders for the Serious Android User
Do you have bookmarks, shortcuts, contacts and apps that you use all the time, but they're scattered here, there, and everywhere on your smartphone? How much time do you waste navigating to the things you need? Don't you wish you could just put them all in a folder or two, easily accessible on your home screen?
Application Folder helps make folders accessible from your home screen using instantly recognizable icons. Set up and customize folders, stuff them full of apps, bookmarks, and contacts, and place them as widgets anywhere on your home screen. Now those frequently used apps, bookmarks, and contacts are right there for you to access immediately.
The King of Folders
Let's say you want to be able to e-mail certain contacts quickly. First, access Application Folder through your Widgets menu. Next, create a folder and long-press the standard icon and replace with the e-mail symbol, or any of Application Folder's dozens of attractive icons, such as an airplane, bus, movie reel, pen, paint pallet, etc. Now choose the contacts you want to be in this new folder. Select Menu, then select Apply and exit, and that folder-widget is now on your screen. Tapping on the widget will bring up your chosen contacts that you can now use to e-mail with one tap. You can set these contacts up to be phoned or texted with one tap as well.
We Want Widgets
Create a folder-widget for family e-mails. Create another folder-widget for your favorite games. With Application Folder, there's no more hunting down a function or link through various menu trees. The app, contact, bookmark, or song you want to access immediately is right there on your home screen. You can also customize the size of the widget.
Please note that Application Folder must be launched from the Widgets menu. After you launch the widget, Application Folder scans and organizes your applications, contacts, and bookmarks. Application Folder's main menu is also accessible from any of the widgets you've set up.
Features
Choose custom icons to adorn your folders--anyway you like
Choose from four types of folder shapes and choose opening animations
Organize bookmarks, contacts, and shortcuts, as well as applications, the way you want, sorted the way you like
Are Amazon REALLY encouraging users to allow their devices to install content from unknown sources?
Whilst people here might know good from bad, I find the thought of the unwashed clueless installing any old APK because Amazon showed them how to do it rather worrying.....
As it is, I got as far as them wanting me to install their marketplace, and then I gave up. I couldn't be arsed with some free content just so they can muddy the Android content waters... (You can bet Apple will be using that as the next thing to beat Android up about).

You do realize that any non-Google market place would have to do that, right? But look at it this way...at least you have the choice. If this were Apple you would be screwed.
To be honest it is nice to have the option of a various market place applications (although useless they may be sometimes). Thanks for the post OP, I will be using this.
@MISFITZ / I'm duly impressed. It's like a combination from Folder Organizer and Wizz Bar. I can put this to good use. Ahhh, A new app to tinker with. hehe
Thanks and gave you a thanks too.
EDIT: Is there anyway to adjust the size of the widget icon? I tried tinkering with the margins but that didn't work and next I tried editing the widget by dragging the edit box outward but it did not affect the icon itself. Thais would be a really kewl feature. Can you try and implement that into the next update? Thanks
It seems like your and mine conception of FREE differs.

It was the free app of the day a few days ago when he posted. He probably should have noted it was just that one day in his post to avoid confusion later, but it was true at the time.
Hi.
Just got a Nexus 4 after some thieving Spanish barstewards stole my Note 2. Loving the phone so far.
Quick question. Can you add to the Google apps folder on the home screen that is there when you first start it up? I know you can delete from it as I deleted the Youtube widget, but I wanted to add the Google Now widget but when I try to add it as if it was a folder it doesn't work.
Is it just not possible?
Ta.

Guess I'm not following what you mean exactly by folder?
Are you using the stock launcher or another launcher (ie: apex, nova, etc) .
Normally to add a widget you would simply long-press the home screen, select widgets, and pick that, and should show up as a widget, if you're creating a folder you're probably dragging the app icon onto something else.
Yeah, I thought I wasn't explaining myself very well.
It's stock launcher. On the home screen, when you first set up the phone, there is a widget/folder titled "Google" which is effectively a folder containing the widgets for various Google apps ie Gmail, Google+, maps etc. I wondered whether it is possible to add to this folder (for want of a better word). If I try to drag a widget over it that doesn't work.
Hope that's a bit clearer.
Don't worry - sorted it.
Hi all, I am trying to develop a widget that works similar to the App Folder that comes standard with android. The functionality is that you can drag and drop apps into a folder so that your homescreen is a bit more organized. Is it possible to create a widget that can accept a drop of another application?
I have done a lot of searching on google and have come up short. Any help is appreciated.

AFAIK, there's no way of doing this except with building your own home screen launcher since (most) Android launchers move widgets out of the way if you drag a shortcut on them (JB+) and do not pass any event or call to the widget (all versions).
You can, however, create that Widget and in the setup screen show a check list with all apps so the user can choose there which apps they want in the folder.

That's a good idea. :good:
Yeah, as far as I know there is no way to do this, too.
Thanks guys. I do currently have an app Chooser available to populate my current widget. I was just looking for a way to make it easier to add apps to the widget.
After searching around and trying different things I figured it wasn't possible but never found any info good or bad so I figured I would ask the experts.
Thanks again for your help! :good:
