Touchwiz MEMO and TASKMANAGER app for ICS!

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.

Taskmanager? In the thread you spoke about memo and the music player. Maybe I missed it.

Is this the S-Memo or just Memo ?

The original touchwiz MEMO app, not the one with Galaxy Note or anything.

what do you suggest is the easiest way to put Samsung taskmanager on long press home button ?

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

Thanks, good work

Confirmed working on Vibrant running 7/4 Gummy nightly and SGS2 running AOKP Milestone 6. Thanks.

Great work. Could you port the Task Manager to Jelly Bean, since it doesn`t seem to work on it, would be really great
Edit: It works on Jelly Bean also, I just had to install it as a normal apk and not copy it to system\apps

[Q] Google Ears

Google Ears is supposed to be a jelly bean feature, yet i dont see the widget available on my nexus 10? Anyone else have the same problem? or am i missing something here?

The widget is not called Google Ears, it's called Sound Search.

I am aware of that but still don't have it

You can add it as a widget on the lock screen.

Yes i have it installed

What's your region, and are you on stock ROM?
I'm in the US, and I have the Sound Search widget on both Stock and a custom AOSP ROM, and can add it to either lockscreen or homescreen.

If you're rooted install titanium backup. If you go into apps, you need to unfreeze it.

I am from the UK and i havent got a custom rom yet. havent got round to rooting.

I have modified Google Ears for unsupported countries..
thread of it is in Galaxy Nexus themes and apps section!

What lockscreen do you use?

Try to make my lock screen more efficient or helpful. I have been trying several lock screen replacements/widgets recently. Wondering if I am missing any good ones and wonder what everyone else uses?
Stock? Stock w/dashclock? Widget locker? Cover? Start? Other? Let me know, thanks!

Stock.

Ditto, stock

best choice
go locker with carnival theme is the best

I tried cover, I don't understand peek really. I mean I get it, you can peek at the app, but you can only see so much before you have dragged it to the point where it just unlocks. And I don't have a lot of variation in my useage, so my apps list was mostly the same no matter where I was. I do like that it can change wallpapers based on where you are though. If they could incorporate the ability to change lockscreen widgets based on location that might make it better for me.
I like dashclock widget, but I hate that I have to expand it in order to actually click on my message to open into the messaging app. But I think I found an xposed mod to fix that, gonna try it out.

Faster TouchWiz?

So is there any improvement in the latest touchwiz? Any opinion from S5 users? And maybe for those who had the chance to see a Note 4 from close ?
Im in S3 and I dont like the touchwiz laggy and problematic as hell. I have a fear to buy samsung device again. I am thinking of the note 4 just because of the feature to capture images and transform them in editable text.
But im worried about the touchwiz..

Have you considered trying a different launcher? Touchwiz is very resource-intensive, but many of the third-party launchers are very quick. I'm using Google Now launcher on my Note 2, and it still flies. It will make your S3 much faster, anyway.
You could do the same thing with the Note 4, but you'd likely lose some of the S-Pen functionality.

Ahh, gotcha. Unless you're married to them for some reason, you should try replacement apps in the Play store.

True. I was thinking of dialer replacements, but I guess you're still stuck with the same phone app. There are many messaging replacements, though I actually really like hangouts.

Fighting with myself over TouchWiz
I've been using alternate launchers for a long time. Was on Go Launcher for most time, but relatively recently I've moved to Noval Launcher, as it has caught up with Go Launcher features, and it seems that Go was a bit buggy in more recent releases.
All that being said, I am presuming at this point that I may want to actually utilize some of the features that TW offers, and won't be ther on other launchers. On the other hand, I too fear lag/performance issues, and loss of features in Nova that I am so accustomed to.
Of course, I suppose I need to get the phone in my hands first before worrying about TW.

You can replace the dialer by simply installing another one from the store. But when someone calls you, you will be faced with a lag followed by a black screen with status bar at top and then BOOM! The laggy samsung phone app (Don't worry your phone didn't blow up
---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------
About the improved TW on S5, I have a S3 phone rooted with QS ROM installed and Boeffla 6.1 beta4 linaro installed and a S5 transformation pack supported by QS.
I think finally Samsh*t thought about locking the launcher, phone app in memory. That makes TW a bit faster. Opening the phone app now is faster and the lag is gone. Also switching to contacts from the phone app is lagless. But there are still some micro lags in launching an app.
Hope that I helped you with that.

have you guys noticed that with the new google now launcher, if you try to change wallpaper long-pressing on the screen it shows the old kitkat wallpaper list instead of the new material light ones?
and if you go to setting - display - background there's a "doubled" wallpaper list?
