[POLL] Vote for your favorite version of TouchWizGTG (for the next release)

So here's the deal. I'm considering creating a new version of TouchWizGTG (with JPX TW launcher or newer as a base) sometime in the next three weeks since I'll be on vacation. HOWEVER, I will NOT be creating a million different versions to please everyone this time. Sorry, but creating all of those different versions and testing each one for each release was extremely tedious and it made me lose interest in the project.
Vote on your favorite feature set and I will create the TWO that have the most votes plus one of my choosing if it's different than the other two.
If you have no clue what TouchWizGTG is, click here.
Explanation of options:
Old dock: The stock TouchWiz launcher 4 icon dock.
New dock: A redesigned dock with 5 icons and the apps icon in the center. Look at the other thread for screenshots.
Icon backdrops: The stock TouchWiz launcher has colored squares behind the icons. Do you want these or not?
16-bit mode: If enabled, this draws widgets and the dock background in 16-bit color, which provides a noticeable improvement in speed/smoothness, but causes a small amount of color banding on the widgets and dock background. For comparison, LauncherPro uses 16-bit rendering while the stock TouchWiz launcher does not.
Landscape: Self explanitory. Do you want the launcher to be able to rotate into landscape mode or not?

If I could humbly add one feature request: make the Home button open the flyover previews like on most other launchers

I will look into that, but it will be hard considering I don't have the source code and I'm modifying via xml and smali edits.

Understood there are certainly things you cant do without source. But if you can I will be ecstatic!

Hello gtg465x...
first, thanks for your futur new version of TW
and second, why not make a version with a parameters page to select different options? I saw on the forum that someone had already done...

Hi,
There was a bug that I reported in the current launcher that was when I pressed home button in desktop the launcher crashed. It was a nullreferenceexception. Could you please correct it in the new version? Thanks and good work!

samsung said that the source codes 4 JPX will be out on 22/12

I love the 5 dock version and landscape mod is cool, but if you dont make one its no biggie.
But the No. 1 reason i use TouchWizGTG is because i lose the colored icon backgrounds.

New Dock
Coloured icon backdrops
No 16 bit
Landscape enabled
Notification bubbles
Pretty please

Notification bubbles will be a nice addon for this new touchwiz. Thank alot Gtg465x, been using your touchwiz since I come across it. Btw, can we keep the numbering in those white dots for the touchwiz's homescreen which was missing in your first version?
Thank once again ^^.

You should make only 2 version.
One with colored icon backdrops and the other without!
Both with New dock, 16-bit enabled, Landscape enabled
bye!

+1 for the notification bubbles.
Was a much missed function from the last versions.
Erm hide the notification bar too?

I feel the current TWLauncher is already smooth, hence 16 bit may be irrelevant. Of course, ymmv.

A SettingsActivity would be nice..
For example 16bit mode could be easily controled over that.

I might be able to have a settings page for 16-bit mode, but probably not for the dock style, icon backdrops, and landscape mode. If I do make a settings page though, I should be able to put in options to set the number of rows and columns.

- Ability to have the buttons and notification bar at the bottom, to save space
- A permanent menu button
- Combination of SuperNexus' battery life, ParanoidAndroid's hybrid modes, DPI central control, status bar and navigation color control, AOKP like ROM manager and tweaks
- SetCPU like control with profiles, system app mover built in, optional choice to click which apps to pre install
- GPS lock tweaks for faster GPS connection, undervolting (which was already said), custom vibrations, tablet style notification bar on bottom of the screen, center clock, custom led indicators for different apps, any other speed tweaks you can bake in!

How so? Like for the nav buttons on the bottom?

Ability to have the buttons and notification bar at the bottom, to save space.
And a permanent menu button.

More specifically, being able to launch different shortcuts from the navigation buttons.
Possibly even having the ability to toggle the navigation buttons either by long pressing the back button or whatever, while returning with a swipe up from the button type thing.
Just some ideas that I've used on my TF201 running Eos.

It was supposed to remove the nav buttons when in full screen mode, but it never worked for me (Nexus 7)

Thanks again for the feedback everyone! Keep them coming

2 Features that I think I had in MIUI-XJ on the desire:
1. The ability to lock apps with a password / swipe code.
This was great for me as I could just swipe to unlock my phone, then lock down email and social networking apps. I wasn't concerned about the dialer or contacts.
2. In the same vein, MIUI also had private mode. Hit the button and your call history is hidden as well as all your SMS messages. Microsoft WP8 has the child mode. Something like that would be nice for those times when you hand your phone to someone else.

[Q] Per-App DPI for Lockscreen

Root: Yes
Rom: Beansrom v6
Does anyone know which app is responsible for drawing the android lockscreen? I set my build.prop DPI down to 320, which is awesome for most of the device, but it makes the lockscreen unlock grid really tiny. I have access to the xposed per-app dpi settings on my phone, and have successfully fixed other problematic applications, but I can't seem to find the lockscreen anywhere. Any input would be appreciated.

Lockscreen is controlled by Android System. I set it to 320 just to test it and it messes up a lot of stuff.

Really, like what? I've been running like this for a month and the only thing I've noticed was the small unlock grid (and a few samsung apps with weird layouts that I have since fixed individually)
Also, if I adjust android system, it will adjust everything (font, notif. bar, etc...) Any idea on how to adjust only the lockscreen?

I set dpi to 320 and my keyboard blew up to the point I could only see four or five of the keys. TW Launcher on the other hand shrunk to the size of a 4" phone. I could've fixed most of the issues but I didn't feel like messing with it. Also, I don't know how to adjust only the lockscreen. I think that modifying it without some dev experience would be difficult.

Any way how to enable System Ui Tuner in EMUI 4.0?

Basically the title. Is there a way how to enable this feature in EMUI 4.0?

Bump. Please, if it isn't possible, just say I can't .

If someone knew how to open, they would have responded. I'm still on lollipop but I think that if the default way of enabling is not working, it's removed or hidden for your own good (doesn't work or crashes the phone)

IMO most of the tuner options are available in EMUI, in different places. We can edit shortcuts, status bar drag behaviour, data transfer and battery numbers visibility etc.

Does that mean we have no secret system ui tuner menu?
Well can you help me removing google search icon(not a bar) from homescreen. there is no google search app installed (not even under system apps). i search and found out that system ui tuner could hide it + other stuff like battery percantage into battery tweat etc.
Update: I found the battery percantage tweak at Settings > notification panel & status bar. Still having that non used google icon which i dont like.

I see. I tried Nova Premium. Every time I try to personalize my phone with 3rd party apps, finally I go back to stock. EMUI doesn't like other apps but it is very good itself, if you like this style. If you don't like it, it's better to change the phone.

Substratium not working

Anyone able to get substratium to work on sd note 9?
I am just trying to theme the stock messaging app so that the text box will be black. Is there a stand alone overlay apk that can do the same?
Textra is not an option since I loose some functionality of my gear s2.
Edit: I forgot to run the andromedia pc plugin to get it going. Everything is working now.

I have Subs working on my Vzw n9.

Systemui tuner + good lock 2018 has taken care of everything except the messages app.

Systemui tuner in playstore has that built in. No root required but you do need to run a couple of adb commands.

Is not working for me either. Note 9 on VZW. how did you get it to work?

I did and didn't work the first time. However I figured it out. I used smart switch to restore from my note 8 and Andromeda was working funny. Uninstall and reinstall fixed the problem.
Thank you

Only some things are working for me. The settings and phone apps aren't. It colours them if i select android 8.1 pixel or nexus but not the samsung option. Using swift black btw

And go To développer settings To enable USB debug mode.

Pitchblack Samsung is running on my note 9 using subsrtatum alone. A bit of a pain because Android permissions ask permission to install per overlay, but working 100% here without Andromeda. I have the US Xfinity Mobile Note 9.

Settings overlay just wouldn't work no matter what settings or device type I tried. I did however get the UI and some apps themed.
I didn't really see a big difference compared to the samsung theme i'm using right now + ADB navbar colour change so i stuck with that. Haven't decided on an icon pack yet.
Attached some screenshots.

Looks alright actually. So, you're using a standard Samsung theme with adb navbar mod or are you using parts of swift substratum and adb navbar mod?
I'm currently using swift dark, the bits that work on the note 9, with wings substratum to shade out slightly my black navbar icons and slightly reduce the ( grey color ) of my status bar icons. Oh, and also system ui tuner was used for my black navbar. So all in all , system ui tuner, swift and wings substratum used here.

I dropped substratum all together. I'm now using:
- Good Lock 2018 for notification drop down and notification shade
- MINU Black_Edition V2 Samsung theme for the overall black skin
- ADB Navbar Colour Change
- System UI tuner for immersive mode toggle
Still deciding on icons though..

Unfortunately not. I mostly use it to ensure it's black with my Gboard when typing since I use immersive mode. Apps like Chrome that apply a colour overlay will override ADB.
I assume substratum is the only way from small testing.. Even overlay apps like "Navbar Apps" don't keep everything black unfortuntely.
