ok! as a modification i would say that post only theming apps here.....this would include newly released launcher,apps to copy other platforms of fones like iphone or moto droid etc,new apps that look nice and increase the functionality of our fone,ultra cool widgets and others similar things that u feel is new and worthy of out notice!
some from my side :-
1.iPhone Notifications(Phone Notifications shows your Android device's notifications in iOS5 fashion. This app brings a whole new way to display your notifications on your Android device. You can display all your Android notifications as popup alerts or banners, with exactly the same fashion as on an iPhone. )
2.Smart Lyrics(Smart lyrics is an easy to use application to view lyrics for the current song without typing the name of it. While listening a song, just click on the "Smart Lyrics" notification in status bar notifications to see the lyrics for the current song)
3.Pure breeze launcher(new home replacement by samsung)
post the screenshots along with the app names
+1 will be given if a worth app is posted

What I tell you is searchable on market...
1. Android assistant, has an option for speed boost for every 10 minutes to 3 hours or more, packed with more features, doesn't drain alot of battery
2. CC Launcher, or Cloudconnection Launcher, it's an asian made launcher but has English support, it's 25mb in size but using an a2sd script will save you space, it's packed with features as well
3. Root browser, another file manager of many but common in cosmic 3.2 rom, it operates on normal standard just as any file manager does, but it has an in house script handler, extractor and packed full of features more advanced than ES file explorer or Root explorer
4. Walkman music player or Cloudskipper, both music players are great, Walkman comes standard to many themed roms but can be copied and added to any roms system/app folder, just download rom and extract it than pull Walkman.apk than transfer to desired rom, set permissions than reboot. Cloudskipper is great, it has lyrics for those who want lyrics

QQ launcher pro awesome launcher with custom lock screen
I dunno if you meant only theming apps, but IMO the most customisable app is Tasker.
Its definitely NOT an app for newbies. Even i took about a week or so to get the hang of it.
Try it, its amazing and awesomely useful

OK I have been using it for two weeks now and I like it better than ADW, Launcher Pro, etc. They are all Launcher2 variants. This is a great home launcher and combined with Nemo it does me well. It has not slowed down for me at all, I'm not sure why it did for you? Could you please post your themed version? I would love to have it on my phone. I wish someone could get the notification bar working! I use SMS and Email Notifications so the bar is not essential for me but would like to see it work because it has advanced features. Please post your themed version, thanks again!
I'd love to try this out. Please post it for the rest of us.

NOTE:To make AcerLauncher's settings work download WallSwitch from the market and after opening "AcerLiquid's launcher settings" once(it will force close first time) use WallSwitch to change wallpaper,after you do this Acer settings will not fc anymore.I recommend installing both NemoPlayer and Launcher because they are made to work together.Launcher needs to be put in /SYSTEM/APP folder to work.

You can also just go to your gallery and pick an image and set it as your wallpaper then it won't fc from then on. Also if you put the entire Acer wallpapers folder in your \system\media folder then you can select the Acer preset wallpapers in the Acer settings!

Forgot to say that launcher needs to go in /system/app folder and you should put NemoPlayer in there too for better performance.

If you use the launcher in the zip file you will have to push it like he said to \system\app. If you use the launcher from the link I provided then you can install it like a regular app.

You need to extract two apk files from a zip and put them in /system/app folder.The reason for that is:after theming alot of apps will only work in /system/app folder and will not install regularly anymore for some reason,if anyone knows why that is I would love to know (and no its not the signature).
Oh and for people that hate all this complicated ADB typing and pushing(i know I do) just download Estrongs File Manager(its free) from the market then go to options menu and turn on "root access" then just copy apk files to /system/app folder,it only takes a minute and you don't even need a pc!

Here's an article on AndroidPolice with a 6 minute video demonstrating the new features.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...eleased-transitions-to-a-whole-new-dimension/
This one might finally get me to drop LauncherPro Plus!
Differences between ADW.Launcher and ADWLauncher EX
* 5 different app drawer styles/behaviors
o 3D Nexus One like application drawer
o 2 different plain vertical drawer styles, the "old one" and a new fast and smooth one
o 2 different iPhone-like horizontal application drawers, a traditional paginated one and a new one with continuous fling
* Different desktop transitions: new animations while navigating through your desktop screens. Try them all, they’re crazy!!!
* New Icons configurations/look and feel: Tweak your desktop icons, change its sizes, add coloured backgrounds, change font size, color, etc!
* New fast presets mode: Quickly change the whole desktop configuration by 1 click!
* Editable desktop icons for applications, shortcuts and folders!
* Lots of code improvements
* More, more more to come!!
Played around with it while some features are cool it still lags. Im going to stay with launcher pro.

That's the biggest reason I switched to LPP from adw. It wasn't a problem with the features, its just not as fast and smooth as LPP.
Sent from my cm6.1 Aria using XDA App
I didn't find any lag with this new version... but I'm still sticking with LauncherPro Plus because the widget resize feature works better and because the LPP widgets are so nice.
I didn't mind paying the $3.50 for ADW just to contribute to a developer who has put so much into his work and it's all been free until now. Plus, this way I'll get automatic ADW updates and maybe eventually it will add the features I want.
Has anyone figured out how to hide app labels in the drawer? I hope he doesn't leave out that feature in this version.

I personally LOVE the memo app from Touchwiz, it is the single greatest thing on Touchwiz for me, the music app isn't that bad either but I saw this on Doc's ROM and was curious if it would work on other ICS roms, and to my surprise some of the apps did, so here it is, i just put it into a .zip so thank him for making it compatible etc etc.
*THIS WAS TESTED ON AOKP BUILD 27*
Instructions *these are also on the .zip*
Put these .APK's on your phone's SD Card
then use something like ROOT EXPLORER or any other file manager which will allow you
to go into System/App
Move/Copy The APK's into system/app
BE SURE TO SET THE PERMISSIONS AS THE OTHER APPS IN THE FOLDER ARE
permission: rw-r--r--
REBOOT, and find the app in your drawer and see it work
Developer who got this to work; Vibranturk Developer of Doc's Master ICS
The TW LAUNCHER,CALCULATOR from the ROM was not found working, so i didn't include it.

This may be off topic but in terms of TouchWiz apps, I would love to see the camera app ported...Been running ICS and before that CM7 and other custom non-TouchWiz roms for so long but I have always had qualms about the stock camera app with these custom and AOKP roms... The TouchWiz camera app implements panorama and other modes flawlessly but AOKP Android roms have always had flaky camera apps... Even with my Nexus One running stock gingerbread the camera app left a lot to be desired.. It is understandable that on my Vibrant the AOKP ICS camera app is sketchy but I hope Google gets on paar to some of these Android over lays (TouchWiz and Sense) in terms of camera app polish with Jellybean.. *end rant*
I will stay waiting on a TouchWiz camera app port for ICS, although it seems hopeless due to framework incompatibility..
Just putting my 2 cent.
Hi,
Thanks for porting these apps.
They work fine on my GNex LTE.
Just wanted to add that both these apps. work fine just like any other apk files.
I mean just installing them like any other apk works.
Putting them in system/apps will install them on reboot but there isn't any need for that, at least now on my phone.
Hope this helps
Thanks
Thanks so much, working flawless.
I just never got used to any other memo app after changing to custom ROM.
Can we a get a Task Manager widget please?

Sorry for the late reply. I did not make this app, I'm just sharing it. I'm not sure if any bug fixes can be done to this since its just a port from the Touchwiz Framework.
Also, PM'ing me 4 times with the same message isn't going to help.
If you really want an app like this memo, maybe you should try a MIUI ROM, they have a really good and even better notes app.
Working great on my GS2 CM9!! thx
