The Galaxy S intrigues me but I've never been that much of a fan of Samsung, Might give this ago.
Downloading now
EDIT: Working Perfectly on Froyo72 will run it for today

Ehi guy.
Have someone tried this mod on a MCR 3.1?
Thank

Tried it for a few minutes, I really liked the app-drawer but not the Homescreen. Restoring now...

Why dont like?
And how you can restore the sense launcher?
Just by the phone?

Because if you put some widgets on it it becomes slow, not like LauncherPro. I don't have sense i'm on Froyo (Defrost 1.4). I restored with it with Rom-Manager.

Why?
Wouldn't be easier just uninstall it?
and I think this thread should be in Themes and App. Clearly it's not a ROM development
edit: sorry cTrox, i've just checked that zip file, my bad.

If i want test it on my custom rom based on sense, after how can i restore the sense?

do a nandroid backup (in recovery mode) before flashing this, and restore that very backup if you want to go back.

Works fine, and now we need the widgets

I have been running it for a day, but I get a fc in all the browsers, is anyone getting the same problem ?

Can someone post some more screens?
Seems pretty good, but I would rather just see some more screens than reinstalling my rom etc.

If you don't like it, it is very easy to remove. I like it. Takes a bit of organising to get it to look how you want it o.

Or just do a nandoroid backup before installing it =)

I actually get FC's in browser on certain websites. Thought it as rom-problem, but perhaps not.

Here is my homescreen ect running this launcher...

Samsung galaxy s color scheme for Desire? :)

Hey guys have to say love the color scheme for Samsung Galaxy s!!
But is there a way to get it for Desire? I mean launcher etc or just the color overlay ?..
A port or something?

You can download the Galaxy S Touchwiz launcher, and there are Galaxy S themes available. They only work on selected roms, but search Gala S and have a look

I sort of thrown my own rom together using Defrost as a base. It's Galaxy S styled *sort of*.
ephumuris said:
As much as i love this rom i have made some modifications It's a great base for making something nice. It's a kind of Galaxy S thing.
I took Defrost 2.5a.
Removed Launcher2.apk and replaced with touchwiz launcher.
Added Galaxy S framework from theme section here.
Removed music.apk and replaced with modified music.apk.
Removed sms app and replaced with dark themed cyanogen type app.
Added standard hosts file.
Added Dark Tremor a2sd.
Removed a few apps.

This actually looks amazing. Does the rom include the Defrost setup app to download the ocuv or is it preinstalled?
Sent from my HTC Desire upside-down

Defrost setup is already included as it is part of the base rom. Rom is just the standard 1ghz so you need to download the UVOC of your choice.

It does look rather nice. Anybody knows how to set the weather to Dublin? I don't live in China. :S
EDIT: Font is Roboto.
Sent from my toaster

The font roboto really does like nice!
any chance on you telling us how you did this/got this rather then just posting about it?

Looks like the modded qq launcher in the android themes section.
You could try espier launcher from the market, its exactly like the iphone layout, just no widget support yet.

Yup! That's it. It works perfectly, though I'm having trouble installing .mtz files on it.

*facepalm* .mtz files are for MIUI roms. And that is just a laucnher who is cloning MIUI.

Try the link for info on flashing Roboto fonts, I did running CM7.1.0.1 stable with S-OFF using one of the ZIPs there from HBOOT and it went fine first time.

Well, the launcher actually offers downloading of themes in .mtz format! So I thought maybe it offered a way of installing them, to a limited extent. Seems I thought wrong.

Is the launcher available on Android Market?

Hmmm....now that i think of it, maybe it's possible? But i think the .mtz has to be specificaly compiled for the launcher?

Maybe... and if not, then the downloading is just for show? That would be pretty stupid. Integrating a feature you can't use.

Did you fix the fix the weather problem?
If you did I would like to know how

[GUIDE] Kind of multiwindow on every device using Xposed

Hey guys,
if you want to use a kind of multiwindow on your device, you can do this using Xposed Framework, SAO Launcher and XHaloFloatingWindow.
I only found out to use this in order to get multiwindow running.
I want to remind people that i am not responsible for any damage that might be caused using these methods!
1.Download Xposed Framework: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
2.Open it and hit the install button.
3.Go to the download menue in the Xposed App and look for XHaloFloatingWindow.
4.Download&Install the mod and activate it!
5. Reboot your device.
6.Open the XHaloFloatingWindow App.
7. Hit Moveable/Resizable and set it to enable.
8.Make sure that under System "Bottom App Pausing" is set to off.
9.Reboot again.
10.Go to the Playstore and istall the SAO Launcher (it`s something like Sidebar!): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xlythe.saolauncher
11.Open SAO Launcher and Start an app -> It will open in an window!
12. Now you can`t open an second app using SAO Launcher BUT you can tipp somewere else and open a second app normaly from your Homescreen/Drawer.
You only the SAO Laucher only for the first App. And be aware that pressing the homebutton will close your windows!
Tested on Galaxy Note & Ainol Novo 9 Spark.

YES! SAO Launcher is somthing like Sidebar. You only need to activate it with gestures :good:

wow looks pretty good.. was searching for something like that for my htc desire.. will try thx

this is pure genius. if only someone can create a much more simpler app out of this whole concept/idea.. multiwindow on stock is very much real.
because currently, resizing using current method is quite hard and you dont really get the size that you intended. well, you could, but it takes a longer period as compared to the simpler way in samsung devices
