Stock Android Home - Rogers 2.1

Is there a way to remove Sense and add stock Android Home to new 2.1 rom from Rogers? And if yes,how can i do that?
I know that i can remove Rosie from this rom,but there is no stock home in there.

Try ADW or Launcherpro, they are amazingly customizable. Bad thing though, is you cant use HTC widgets

Yea I know but i dont need home replacement,i want to remove all Sense apps.And use Android ones.

if you don't want the SenseUI, why don't you try any stable Froyo 2.2 ROMs,
try CM5.0.8, it is pretty cool

Well am not sure why but battery is a lot better on 6.35 radios,and i like how stable that Rogers rom is.So that is the reason,and please no more questions about that.
If someone know the answer to question i asked let me know.

i am actually working on a rom which is basically a 2.1 sense with out all the sense lol
Basically im taking out all the widgets and rosie, and then im going to put in ADW, launcher pro, and touchwiz launcher. Also will have apps2sd etc..
right now im still testing it out , but hopefully i will have it done soon

Thats not really answer to my question but good to know.

However, camera is not working (may others).
I gave up on digging more into kernel due to limited time resource. But, experts' sugguestions are always welcomed.

[Q] (req) miui aosp rom wanted ported over to epic

I had it on the evo and there really wasn't much difference from the touch wiz. What excatly are you looking to get ported over from the rom that isn't already included in touchwiz?

sorry im on my boyfriends account
but im looking for like how everthing installs to the home screen and stuff the way the settings and stuff are just looking for a working full port thanksa

Yeah that miui launcher is definitely lookin nice kinda like twiz on steroids with extra dock icon,damn i really could use that extra dock icon from miui.

Miui is very clean. I flashed it on my Wifes Evo. IMO the biggest draw back is that there is no APP DRAWER!!!! its all on your desktop. You drag the icon off your home screen and it uninstalls the app. They have a folder system so you can try to put system apps and other junk inside folders but when I did that it broke the market. I love how polished and clean it is but I am not sure about it not having an app drawer. I dont think I could get use to it.

+1 on the miui port....just came from the evo so i would like my miui back please.....thanks

Please post questions in General section.

Last I heard, ahmgsk said he was porting MIUI for us. You can see one of his threads here.

Bubby323 is workimg on it,he said it himself abbout a month ago.

Samsung Galaxy II rom for myTouch 4G?

The myTouch 4g is a great phone and I know this is possible but I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to port the Galaxy S II rom to the myTouch 4g I think alot of people would appreciate it. If you guys want the rom from the Galaxy S II please reply to let developers know that you want it as bad as I do!!!!!!! :-D If I was a developer I would port it but I cant. Unless someone walks me through it.......Developers please reply Thank You

Do you mean a touchwiz 4.0 rom? If so, I'm pretty sure there are compatibility issue reasons why the mt4g doesn't have any touchwiz based roms. (I could be totally wrong here, I'm no dev, & welcome the correct answer)... But yea, I think that's why we have sense-based roms, cm based, miui...

Yes a Touchwiz 4.0 rom, you maybe are right and thank you for the reply I appreciate it Im just looking for something new instead of the same old same...lol but thanks again. Im currently looking into becoming a Developer I love the work they make and i would love to become a part in it. I have been with XDA since the G1 days and i think im about ready to start working on becoming a Developer.... So if there is anyone that can help me or point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it...Thanks for all the help guys

If you want TouchWiz, you can download TouchWiz 4 pack for MIUI, install MIUI, and install the pack. It might work (and might not).
Use some Google search to get the files. The pack is 161MB. I believe it's somewhere in Galaxy S or S2 sections.

Thanks Jack_R1 is that pack more miui though? Or does it run just like a touchwiz rom? Cause im not that MIUI friendly lol...
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

This is a complete TouchWiz, except for system menus and dialogs.
You can try to install it over CM7, I believe there were reports of it working.

I remember seeing sense ROM's available for Samsung phones that normally ran Touchwiz. I suppose the reverse SHOULD be possible. Though porting a ROM to a phone with completely different hardware that no other touchwiz ROMs are available for would be a pain. No examples to learn from and so on.
Hmm. Any Devs with thoughts?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

It could be done, but it would be very very very hard and time consuming. EDT at one point was trying to port sense to the vibrant, but that really didnt end up as anything, so I would assume it would be the same porting TW to the mytouch. Im sure the right dev with enough time could get a port working.

sorry i cant answer your question but i have an alternative.
if you just want touchwiz 4 and UI that looks like SGSII, here:
1. flash CM7
2. find samsung theme for theme chooser (can be found here anyway)
3. install the theme
4. install the touchwiz 4 from here
5. you done, simple like that.

The same reason people put CM7 and/or MIUI on the MT4G. Maybe he doesn't want the bloated Sense and would rather have a TW4 GB UI that already has hardware accelerated launcher and much less bloat.
With that said, as nice as it'd be, it's not possible. The list goes on in what you would need to put TW4 on any phone that's not Samsung.

That's what I'm saying... Too many fan-boys on a certain UI rather than being open minded.
Sense is my favorite non AOSP UI as well. But it's no where as smooth and as fast as TW4. Hell, even the new MotoBlur easily trumps Sense speed wise.

Galaxy S 1 or 2? Because there's a big difference. My gf's stock SGSII is the smoothest and fastest I've ever tried, faster than any custom ROM that I've ever tried. There's no TW4 for SGS1, just TW3.

There are custom ROMs with TW4 on SGS1.
This thing will quickly become laggy if you seriously use it, whatever you put on it. Except MIUI.

Video of ICS LPQ Firmware running

So.. here's a video I made with screencast for those who are still waiting to flash the ROM and want to see whats in it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAzr0iYr5WQ&feature=g-upl&context=G2c496a4AUAAAAAAAAAA
I removed all of the useless apps using Anttek app manager from the market.
The widgets and wallpapers are exactly the same as the Gingerbread ROM
The bug when changing lockscreen wallpaper is still there
Edit: This is the general section, If you don't like my thread just don't comment and don't watch the video

Great.. was looking for this. thanks for the update

I am using ISC from yesterday and I think it is very useful!
I recommend to install this ROM

I'm using ICS for 2 months now, and I think this thread is ****.

Nice video, thank you for your work.

Thanks for the video but a new thread just for a video? ....

You're right... I'm using AOKP ROMs even if there are these bugs like broken MTP. There still better then the stock crap

I saw that pocketnow (website) also made a video on a S II running the official ICS. But after a few minutes, I got bored. Whenever I will flash my first ICS ROM, I will make it look like stock ICS. Samsung really shouldn't have kept the same old touchwiz...

I know where you're coming from, but I think Samsung would get a lot more grief if they fundamentally changed the launcher as part of the ICS upgrade.
Which makes more sense: keep the launcher the same and annoy a relatively small number of geeks (who have the knowledge required to install a replacement launcher anyway) or change the launcher and annoy the much larger group of "regular" users who treat the device as a tool rather than as a toy?

Your right but i think they should keep the look and feel of tw but add some more options to it. So that tw by itself is more customizable and so there is even no need for new and old users to search an alternative

Have been running ICS for a while now.. and it just slow down my device.. Offical ICS = ****
Thanks for the video!

[Q] [REQ] Nexus4 TouchWiz5

Sorry that I post here, I dont have enough posts yet to post in developer threads.
Is it possible to port TW5 to the Nexus4 ?
I dont like the ICS (TW4) one. 5 Looks better with the colors.
Would be nice if someone could do it.

Then I´ll just wait if someone makes a TW5 port or S3 Theme.
I didn´t want to flash a Custom ROM thats why I asked, I am sure I´ll be able to use TW with CyanogenMOD ?
Anyway, thanks for your answers
//EDIT I informed myself a bit, I didnt know TW is a formware, I just wanted the launcher/theme

reason i bought nexus is to rid of touchwhiz.. who wants that kiddish firmwarE?

you can try to find a touchwiz theme for a third party launcher like "go launcher" in the play store

Is this a TROLL THREAD?

Thread moved to Q&A as is a question and even if you did have enough posts you should never post question threads in development. Please don't disrespect other members and be abusive as this is uncalled for. Some people are just not as knowledgeable as others and we were all new once so if you don't have anything useful to say, please say nothing at all.
Thanks

Yes its been confirmed it is.

I already saw there is a request for sense. No motoblur love yet?

A touchwiz rom for a LG phone?
But no seriously, touchwiz as well as HTC sense, lg ui, motoblur are all closed source and very difficult to port. On Galaxy Nexus, there was a skin pack of Touchwiz on top of stock Android.
For people bashing op, android is all about options. If a developer wants to devote his time into porting it then so be it. Nothing is stopping him. If android was one way if thinking then we wouldn't be any different than the you know community.
Realistically, getting a stable touchwiz rom isn't worth it and it won't happen most likely. If you like touchwiz then get a galaxy s3 or a note 2

The launcher and some of the framework was ported to the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 by a developer called madphone, he even made a ROM that was fully themed.
He's also ported LG launcher and framework to the Galaxy Nexus.
Evilisto has ported the LG lock screen to the Galaxy Nexus too.
Yes OP it's possible and you're not wrong for asking, it's your phone so run what you like on it and never mind everyone else.
Best bet to see TW5 on the Nexus 4 is to contact madphone and see if he's interested in porting it, maybe he can tell you if the mods he's got out will work right off the bat on the Nexus 4.
Do a search for him and you'll find his threads. Or Google TW5 for Galaxy Nexus, a few months back a few big Android sites wrote an article about his work.

All I want is that I can organize my homescreen by pinching it with two fingers and removing that circle in the middle to open the menu, I´d also like to have folders in my menu.
Thats all. I dont want to use third party apps, I had goLauncher on my GalaxyS+ but I had problems so I want it to be fully implemented into my OS/ROM.
Maybe I´ve missunderstood what touchwiz is,
but I am used to this layout and I like it.

Touchwiz is the framework for all Samsung devices. It is the skin that they used. Some prime elements of Touchwiz is the notification bar, icon skins being in squares, home screen of square icons, memo, smart stay, etc.

Ok thank you for explaining me, I think I´ll get used to ICS, but it looks so 'sad' because its so dark and bluish. Maybe I´ll find some nice mods in the Themes Section soon.

It's what stock Android looks like. It's called Holo. I actually like it a lot and prefer it over TouchWiz launcher.
you can google for 'touchwiz launcher galaxy nexus port' and try installing the APK and see if it works (dont flash any zips though, at least i wouldnt try it)
