Grr @ touchwiz

I really don't know why you hate touchwiz. To be honest I like it and I'm using it since I bought my galaxy s2. I've tried out
Adw launcher and go launcher ex but every time I went back to touchwiz. Go launcher ex was quiet fine but it took more battery than touchwiz. Don't
Know why the whole hate about the stock launcher.

guys , we always goin to have TW at ours samsung devices , at ICS at blla blla version , everytime TW will be there , so deal with it !
TouchWiz is a pretty good launcher. There is one thing that I don't like about it though; If I use another launcher, the TwLauncher itself, the animated wallpaper and all the widgets I have placed on it will load on boot and they will sync, even if I don't use the launcher. This causes battery drain and CPU load.
The only work around, I have fount, is to disable it with Autostarts. This is not an ideal solution because it requires root and may void warrenty.
There's maybe 1% of users hating TW, but there's no hate going on.
Probably you want to point to the "yuck, TW4 over ICS" threads.
We still like TW, but not in the current form. Old TW with the new ICS don't make a good marriage. Let's say that the current version is outdated.
Not a fan of Touchwiz myself, before I rooted I had no other option but to use it because other launchers gave me problems. I miss Launcher Pro and I even paid for that thing, but it killed my battery too son and it distorted your wallpaper when you rotated.
Now I'm happy with everything Cyanogenmod's giving me.

rule number 1 of changing launchers
remove everything from all screens of previous launcher. No quite sure why you would need to root your phone to perform such a simple task. If youre not using that launcher why are you keeping all your widgets on it?
TW best launcher, smoothest by far.
Grown fond of Touchwiz. Was previously a Sense user with HTC phones and didn't like TW, but i'm so used to it now.
So? why don't you tell this to samsung then? this isn't a confession threat..
get another launcher, problem solved..
Did any one maybe think that they're just using touch wiz in their build of ics just for testing purposes? To be honest if they would just let us change the theme or sort the damn app drawer etc I would be happy! However if go launcher enables hardware acceleration in the future I'll probably never use touch wiz anyway...that's the beauty of Android...we can choose

I just got my SGS2 2 weeks before. Previously I used an HTC Desire HD with Sense 3.5.
I don't hate TW, but I defenetly don't like it. Sense is just so much easier to use, and has many many good, new ideas. TW is very much iOS like, just like the SGS2 with the one physical button on the bottom. Keyboard and camera app is very good, but the dialer, message app, the lockscreen, the iOS like launcher and app drawer... I just don't like them.
Then there's the mounting. You plug an HTC to your PC and it offers to charge only, mount, usb theter your net, and you can make one default or you can get the screen every time. First time I tried to mount my SGS2 to my PC, I just couldn't find out, I had to search the net, how to do it! Samsung has so much to learn from HTC about software, and HTC should learn a lot about hardware from Samsung.
It's good to have this thread : ) I had to let it get out of myself
I think:
first of all, the "omg i hatez touch wiz" comments started going again when everybody saw the first leaked ICS rom from Samsung that had TW over ICS. While Im not sure, one of the biggest reasons people (and me included) hate it is that it makes your phone look almost the same as now. And people like to look at their phone and see "yes I haz the Ice Cream I haz the power today!!!" :>
At the moment for me, it's ICS Launcher > TW Launcher > everything else.
I made a ICS "wannabe" yesterday with Go Launcher and it looked good, except I still prefer TW launcher. The App drawer in TW is something I like, its simple and fast. Overall TW is simple and fast. Its just that since I have seen ICS, TW has fallen on the second place.
Just like a made the switch from HTC Sense to ASOP after about half a year on the HTC Desire, I think I will make the jump on the SGS2 to a good working ICS ASOP rom.
Hate it with a passion! Frezze it all the time .
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
used GO Launcher since day1. Maybe i was just used to it.
Hey PPL
On samsung galaxy s2 there is no other launcher smoother than touchwiz
I am bored of Touchwiz too but i keep coming back to it due to its smoothness.
The closer to touchwiz is QQLauncher Pro but most of its menus are in chinese
I hope samsung will update Touchwiz soon before releasing ICS.
Does anyone know what happened to Launcher PrO Why is it dead?
If you guys seen the new gadget Asus Memo on CES2012 you may already have recognised it is a great implementation of ICS which i think might be what Galaxy Note should be with ICS upgrade instead of regular touchwiz phone interface. What do you guys think about it? Maybe we can effect the development progress of ICS for Galaxy Note in this direction. For those who haven't seen the new OS on Asus Memo could check out this early preview video :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su5yjTGKt3k
I'm still hoping for some kind of dual boot option. With the option to run it as a phone, or as a tablet. It's pretty sad to see that Samsung is gonna put a lot of TouchWiz stuff over the phone's ICS.
That Asus looks very nice though. Smooth as hell, nice design etc.
I would love to see that on my Note.
I think the tablet+phone can be arranged simply by adding a button on top bar to change dpi from 320 to 213 then all apps will suit themselves in tablet mode and booting is not even needed just a simple system restart will do. Touchwiz looks terrible on 213dpi tho so there has to be an improved version of touchwiz to adapt itself to resolution changes or they may better leave touchwiz for a better ui like asus memo has. I like it cause u can still see icons in normal size yet u still have capability of all those features comes with at least honeycomb version like functional buttom bar.
Why cant we have the option of a pure ics experience or one with touchwiz.....i loved windows mobile for that.......i hate touchwiz....the moment i got my note i installed a launcher! Hope samsung reads these threads
I hope ICS release for Gnote would not be exactly the same as latest leaked roms for Galaxy S II as published on this short review video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YotByxd3Bo . This looks so like recent gingerbread roms we been already using. This is perfectly normal as nobody expects tablet specific features on Galaxy S 2 but in GNote case we all wanna see a brand new ui taking advantage of ics like Asus did on their "Memo" devices.
I've just seen this latest Galaxy S2 leaked ics video and worried Gnote ICS release may not come with some tablet specific features to feel more like honeycomb ui instead of regular touchwiz interface.

I don't understand what problems you have with Touchwiz. The first thing I do after installing a new rom is just delete all stuff related with Touchwiz (even the Touchwiz launcher) and then install another launcher like Go Launcher Ex. In fact Galaxy Note does not need the bloatware software provided by Samsung at all but SMemo and a couple of programs that you can run with other launchers.
So in case Samsung releases the ICS with Touchwitz I will delete it.

Even with another launcher it will still be a phone with huge screen. I'd rather like to see a tablet-like ui like Asus Memo has. I don't have any problems with touchwiz but I think they should at least add a buttom bar like honeycomb and ics tablets have.

Here comes a trolling scoop .......
IT IS A PHONE WITH A HUGE SCREEN......
I don't know for you, but I bought it because it is a phone.
If not I would have bought something like a HTC flyer.....taller screen and less expensive...
A phone with a huge screen deserves buttom bar like ics imao considering hardware specs and so much space avaible on the so called huge screen ! Don't you guys think so? They have buttom bar on the rumor device Galaxy S 3 so why not for flag ship Gnote?

I haven't really tried them out much yet. I installed AOKP for a little bit the other day, but didn't know enough about ti to leave it on as my daily driver for work. SO I am wondering what do these roms have that make them cool? I like the way the 5 icons look in the dock at the bottom of the screen, but I can get that with GoLauncher.
Not hating on these roms at all. I love what the devs are doing. I just want to know what difference I get going with an ICS rom over something like MikG 3.0 or tommys classic?

I have done that, but I also know these roms aren't all their yet. Just wondering what cool new features they have and which ones they might be missing compared to the actual ICS
I'm not always an early adopter, and I don't automatically subscribe to newer=better.
That said, I just really love the new UI for ICS. I've always had to theme my roms to get rid of green and replace with blue (I hate green).
It's also the first real revamp of the UI in a LONG time. I like how the menu options shoot up the middle of screen, instead of 6 blocks across the bottom.
I like how there's finally scrollable Widgets (namely, finally, for the email), but also browser, calendar.
The quickmenu in browser is a really cool feature, as is the way browser handles tabs.
I really like the way gallery is handled, and the layout for sharing options after a pic is taken.
Notifications sweep away much easier/smoother than I've ever seen on GB. Also, long press of home for task switching is handled nicer than previously, I think.
I just really like it. Yes, there are features not working yet, but I do think it really is an improvement over earlier versions. On AOKP, I'm getting pretty poor battery life (but it's a great ROM), On drews p6 I got fantastic battery life.
Oh, I like the rotation animation, too. I'm sure there's lots more I'm not thinking of.

Not sold on ICS... yet.
I'm a flashaholic. My wife and I both have EVO 4G's, and I'm constantly flashing different ROMs on our phones. I've tried a couple ICS roms, even though there are still some bugs yet to be worked out. I'm not really impressed. I've found that I prefer ROMs that are more easily theme friendly. I think the new ICS blue is gonna get old fast. My wife prefers MikG 3.0, while I'm currently swagged out with Swagged Out Stock (Swag=ON). That said, when CM9 is available, I'll flash and play around with it. I'm also looking forward to checking out Chrome and a few other apps only available for ICS.
Why do you think CM9 will be worth? Hell, it may never even come to Evo (if you haven't noticed, CM has dropped support for Evo). The devs working on 4.0 now are light years beyond CM. Try it , you'll see.
sent from AOKP heaven
Hey,
Ics is android 4.0 which is the latest and greatest! All the android 4.0 roms you will find right now are all AOSP roms, and later on when HTC releases it there will be the Sense android 4.0 roms! The difference is its just the latest and has extra eye candy and a few better features!
I hope I helped If I did please hit the thanks button,

As far as I've heard from inside source is that cm9 is close to ready for evo. Its missing some drivers that they are having to write themselves due to lack of support from HTC and qualcom. I know for a fact that a close buddy of mine is running cm9 that he compiled himself from cm tree only thing is hes had to hack the kernel for now. So it will be coming eventually.
cool to hear. I'll obviously keep my eye out (always am lol). Thanks for heads up. AOKP so far has been pretty amazing, though.

Battery life is my favorite part so far. Going a full day and at the end of the night having 50% left is ridiculous. I use to be lucky having battery left by lunch! AOKP by the way. Tried to post the screenshot but either the upload doesn't work on the app or I don't have enough posts.
First, its task manager is awsome, you have to now end tasks or they will keep going its nice in some ways but lame if you get tomany running,
second, scrollable widgets and the ablity to resize them.\
and thats all i got
The big things that I'm loving about ICS are;
Scollable widgets (I used to stick to sense because of the great widgets, but these are comparable).
Re-sizable widgets (I know this is available with different launcher replacements, but it's nice to have "out of the box").
Battery life, getting almost 24 hours on AOKP.
Swiping away notifications (again, available on different ROMs).
The overall look is fresh, I prefer the blue over the typical green.
The things I'm not a fan of;
No 4g (though I hardly ever used it anyway because it just KILLS my battery).
No video recording.
Random force closes (these are few and far between, much less than other ROMs I've been on, but they still happen).
Not being able to long press to add an app or widget to a screen (I know this is available through NOVA launcher, just talking about out of the box here).
Not sure if I'm sold on the new app drawer layout.
Bottom line is, since I flashed ICS (Evervolv first, now AOKP) to try it out, it's become my daily driver. The features match up with what I'm looking for, and what's currently missing will surely be fixed soon enough thanks to the awesome dev's working on it. As always, it boils down to what you want and what you can live without.

I think thats what it was, for me at least. I couldn't wait to hop on board the ICS train. I was flashing everytime someone released a new alpha!
It eventually died down for me, and now I am settled back down nicely with CM7..
So far the only ICS that has impressed me was 4.0.3 sense 4.0. Other than that I can't seem to see what all the hype is. Aosp ICS in my opinion(yes my opinion) is its plain and poorly colored. Maybe I don't want a turquois blue UI. Idk. Just MY opinion as I know everyone has their own ideas thoughts and feelings. Don't get me wrong I do like some of the features(some which evo4g may not see) but in time I believe it will get better. Everything starts from bottom. GB was the same way when it surfaced for our evos. Well see what the future brings!
Okey, so Cyanogenmod is coming to our wonderful TF and people are hyping about this. I'm just wondering why. So we get an equalizer and themes support, hoopla. And we're minus the Polaris Office which Asus provides as a free extra, which is a long and big minus.
So why install it?
(I'm not a troll, I'm just curious because don't see any reason for all the hype.)
Cyanogenmod is 100% open source. Once Cyanogenmod has a working TF101 build that means that others can build on top of it, and when Asus drops support we can use the cyanogenmod made code to keep our devices up to date. CM roms are also feature rich and offer constant updates. If you're willing to give up (or just pay for) Polaris then you'll see how much smoother AOSP roms are.
Polaris Office. recovery installable .zip is in Tjemes and apps section, its extracted from main ics build.

And what do we lose functionally besides the applications Asus has added?
A list of important differences would be very informative.
CM9 includes an entire list of performance tweaks and options such as reboot to recovery, my CM9 on my phone also uses the volume keys when screen is off to skip tracks without having to wake the device and press a button on the screen..just for a small example.

i should say, im fairly eager as well to try out CM, but as far as i understand, its not as mature as the stock OS itself. ive read poor support for the camera, wifi and bluetooth, which in its own right is a CM-killer for me. but perhaps that is not the case now?
i love being in control of my phone/tablet and that's why i want to get away from stock roms that are always trying to unroot and lock the phone or tablet, that is not the meaning of open source and Android to me.
anyhow, id love someone knowledgeable on CM to debunk the issues with camera, wifi and bluetooth. id love to know what to expect in terms of stability, play store support and such, so that we could all have a clear understanding of what CM is and what it can do, how it differs, etc.
Thanks in advance,
Im hoping the lack of official support has been due to cm getting new build machines, cm said they,ll be up and running in a few days

Responsive, boot up time is quicker more customization's. For example taking away the names under the apps so its just the app itself.. if we had a built in LED set the LED blink frequency time or intervals and some even change its color and assign it to email, battery ect. Battery life is way long but its very quick. Bounce back affect when you hit the sides,Glow, change window transitions, like have the homescreen change in card stack form, flip, boxed, fade, spin ect or just have a constant home screen switching (no end) just starts over. Change the weight of the transition from light to heavy so it feels like light as a feather or heavy when switching screens. Erasing the Google search bar , change how notifications behave. Change the sound pitch. Hide status bar or the dock screen so its just your wallpaper and apps.. assign swipe animations like sliding your finger up or down you can make the status bar appear or dock dispel. Different lock screens, lock screen gestures.Make the static wallpaper not move with transitions (which gives a speedy feel to everything). Force Live wallpapers to not move with each screen swipe.. it feels like its more stable and less stuttering when using a LWP.That's just a quick list off the top of my head. Plus alot of changes under the hood. They also support theme's depending on the launcher they include.
You can get most of this separate by getting another launcher but its not built into the package. Its not bonded to your transformer. With CM its all there ready to use. Its done very subtle that it looks like it meant for it since its a tweaked version of the ones you can get in the Market. Some people dont like CM since its not as flashy. That's why most get a CM based ROM with added stuff. I love the CM9.. Right now there on there 2nd nightly build. I would wait till they announce an RC version or stable. Currently, dock support is glitchy and its missing features since its there 2nd nightly build. Nighties are like Beta builds. Not a daily driver..

Development on CM9, Megatron (CM9 based) and AOKP are all done more real time and ongoing than anything from Asus. They provide better stability, can be developed to accept the Asus stock apps, and introduce new features to your tablet. Nearly all of the added features can be purchased apps instead of integrated for free though. I'd rather donate to one dev doing awesome things than have 1000 apps from different mediocre devs. It's less work for you to optimize and get every ounce of ability out of your tablet. Even with the 201, 101 and 300 all being out and pretty much awesome still even through the first two are "aging", we still get better attention. Maybe not all those thoughts go together.
In my opinion though, my tablet runs smoother on Megatron than it did stock. I have Guevor and Ricardopv working hard from each end supporting this tablet in a way that Asus isn't. I use Kingsoft Office Suite (free and full-functioning) with cloud support for office needs. I play my games, Facebook, Twitter and anything else I can think of pretty much with this thing and don't have to worry about the random reboots at all.
To each their own though. If you don't think you need it, that's cool. I probably didn't need it. I wanted it though. When CM hits a device, even AOKP now, it brings out developers that will usually support a device until it is truly dead. Support a dev and try their wares. Donate.

Other than face unlock, for which I have absolutely no use for, whats missing?
+ Beats HC and the former ICS/JB custom ROMS by a mile.
+ Runs great, especially the browser.
+ Looks good, but I like stock JB better, nothing to bad though.
too big font, too bright color, ugly locking screen, lost about 200MB RAM.
All other things are great.
Its touchwiz again. I think it looks horrible and i hope cm10 will get the camera drivers soon.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda app-developers app
As far as performance is concerned it is great, a big step forward compared to previous ROMs or other custom firmware. Unfortunately, it is bloated with Touchwiz apps which are not necessary since there are Google equivalent apps that do the job perfectly well.
However, the biggest issue for me is the fact that it has no consistent user interface, a problem common to all non-stock Android versions. The Samsung apps have their own Touchwiz user interface while all other apps use the standard ICS user interface elements and colours. Some system elements like the Settings panel and various pop up windows utilise the Touchwiz graphical elements while others the standard ICS elements. Even the arrows that allow the user to select a piece of text look completely different depending on whether one is running a Samsung app or a standard Android one!
In my opinion, it is important for an OS which depends heavily on the user interface, like tablet and phone OSes, to have a common and standard look and feel not only for cosmetic purposes but also to ensure that the users are not confused and all apps look consistent with a specific design philosophy so that users can easily locate menus and other elements. This is the biggest failure of Touchwiz and as a result the overall look and feel of this firmware is strange with bright and colourful user interface elements when Touchwiz is used and dark black and blue elements when running standard Android apps.
Notice here that I am not judging the quality of Touchwiz vs standard ICS and some people prefer the one instead of the other. I am saying that whatever the choice of user inteface it has to be consistent throughout the system and third-party apps. Personally, I prefer the standard ICS user inteface but this is not the point of my argument.
I hope that third-party Android developers will use the updated libraries of this firmware as well as the camera drivers to produce a fully functioning standard ICS or Jelly Bean ROM through projects like CM9/CM10 for the Galaxy Tab 10.1.

I am one of those who actually MUCH prefer Touchwiz and the other Samsung apps, added settings and personalizations (for example the overlay mini-apps and the now configurable screenshot button are extremely handy and I hate the "2-steps" notification bar in non-TW ROMs) so for me this ROM is GREAT.
I have never been interested in the least in face-unlock, I have always used the pattern lockscreen.
What I would have liked to see in this ROM are the SIM application toolkit, the numbers top row in the keyboard (like in all the recent Samsung keyboards) and the battery percentage.
P.S. that said, if the G.Tab 10.1 isn't going to get an official JB update from Samsung I am sure that at some point, once it matures, I will go back to CM10...
I have installed it on P7500 3G and it works fine (4.0.4 firmware for Italy)
however, keyboard does NOT work in Android Terminal Emulator, and I don´t know why
does anybody else use Terminal Emulator, can you check and report? thanks

I'm as happy as a pig in ****, now I might use it for more than a glorified Netflix machine.
That was the thing with the custom ICS/JB roms is that they were so unstable and brought literally nothing to the table besides being someone else's opinion on what they thought I wanted.
I want stability and I want good, official looking apps. Not File Manager HD with its advertising aids and not some bright ass boot animation that blinds me every time I have to reboot because it froze overnight.
But I digress.
I think this release by Samsung is quite amazing, and it will hold me off long enough till I decide to buy a newer model Galaxy Tab.
At the rate Samsung is going they are going to be my new favorite company. Not just because of this update, for numerous other dealings as well.

The new version is definitely a step ahead. It seems Swype is usable now, although it still lags a bit but at least it can keep up with typing for me not like earlier versions.
I also like it and I guess touchwiz is inevitable. Desktop customization has been upgraded too which is very useful.
If something else could be asked is a tad more smoothness when switching desktops and probably one last push update to jelly bean for increased smoothness.
We'll see in the coming days with extended use. For.me :good:
Am I the only one havin' problems playin' some HD videos in the youtube app? (Factory Reset done after odin flash) My old SGS running ICS is capable of doin' that.

the ugliness of the Samsung 4.0.4 really disturbs me...
Was Samsung smoking pot in the many months spent on making it on to 10.1?

however, keyboard does NOT work in Android Terminal Emulator, and I don´t know why
does anybody else use Terminal Emulator, can you check and report? thanks

It doesn't work for me too. I can enter numbers and other symbols, but I cannot enter any letters.
Edit: It turned out, that using Swype instead of Samsung keyboard, works great in the Terminal Emulator.
new ics samsung
iI like it, very stable and with best email stock client that I never see.
I really am digging it. My only complaint so far is how close the notification icons are to each other.

same problem here ...
The only thing that i complain in this new build, is there are some games that aren't working. For example Mass Effect (GooglePlay obviously) it works on CM9, however doesn't on the Samsung rom (both 4.04).

no problems whatsoever here and what "problems" are you two talking about exactly?
P.S. and I watch a lot of Youtube videos on the tab

Yes!!! This was probably the first thing I checked once the install had finished. I love Swype but it was pretty much unusable in stock HC on the tab. No more automatic deleting of the last two characters when typing a search into the browser!!!
From my perspective it's a it early to give an opinion but it's looking good so far although my quadrant score has taken a nosedive (yes, I know that doesn't mean anytihgn in reality)
Lagging playback on some HD videos.
