I hate to start a new thread, but I'm sure I am not the only one that wants to request a Galaxy S build. Preferably Vibrant, but Captivate would work too.
I hope devs look into this as IMO the Vibrant's Touch wiz interface would give everyone something different to look at. I personally like it over Stock, and MOST definitely over Sense.
Just a thought...
I'm hoping that there will be an end to the many slightly different versions of sense and hope we will see galaxy s, droid, streak builds looked into soon.

Hmm!
I think that we may not need a build for this but an .apk for Touchwiz that we can install over a Clean Stock Rom.
I noticed one on the forum a while ago.
If this is of course what you are meaning:I never had a Galaxy S before and don't know what else it got.

it was an incomplete .apk which only gave you the launcher

I do remember it was only about 2 ~ 3 mb and considering the size maybe a lot of things where removed to make it compatible with other devices.
Ok,I will Google a little to see what's the Galaxy S got

why do you prefer the Samsung software over the all mighty sense UI !!!
al mighty? the sense ui is hideous. For me personally, i cant stand having a 240dpi on a 4.3" screen. Even though 180 sounds worse, thats the setting we change it to for icons to seem like the actually fit on the screen.
Also, why do we need 10 versions of Sense? Why not have the option for the TouchWiz interface. It's fresh and something new to look at. Plus, there are little things like the lockscreen, when if you have missed calls or messages, you drag a puzzle piece into the blank spot that matches what you want to instantly view when you unlock it.
their widgets are also very nice. anywho, i would just enjoy something different. And others would too.
I agree to what he said
agreed it would be a nice change of pace, always good to see something new.
just my opinion...
plus i know the vibrant has an incredibly high frame rate
well.. i had a galaxy S... the first thing done was to use launcherpro and get rid of that hideous touchwiz!
check the forums of those devices... people are asking for vanilla or sense roms
I had a Vibrant, touchwiz was the laggiest piece of software I've used and changed the whole android experience.
i want this cant wait to somebody pull this out there hats
Does anyone have a copy of the touch whiz .apk

To be fair on both sides , the new Sense on Desire HD has lower dpi for menus, etc so it looks much much cleaner ... and since HTC seems to have recognized that aspect I am sure in future the launcher and widgets will also be improved
+1 , i would deffinatly donate, the main reason i want a captivate/vibrant rom is for the video player! my friends vibrant video player plays a 480p .avi video flawlessly, while my hd2 plays it terribly while looking all blurry, but on my friends vibrant its sharp, i know theres a screen size diffrence but still it shouldnt make the movie look that much worse.
and im thinking the problem may be the media player cuz the ones ive tried dont go full screen like the vibrants
I sold my galaxy s for my hd2 and am so pleased I did as I now get to run sense ui or nexus builds. touch wiz was terrible iphone like and laggy. you can download some of the widgets from the galaxy s forum section but they are not a patch on htc sense widgets. The only good thing about the galaxy s build was its camera app

Exactly, once you actually use it, its terribly laggy and not very well put together. I can't blame you for wanting something new but I think everyone would get sick of it quick.

Some launchers I've collected from users here on XDA. The "Launcher2" is the 7-homescreen T-Mobile G2 launcher....exactly like the Nexus One launcher but with 7 screens instead of 5. You will need to remove the cooked-in launcher to install all but the TouchWiz launcher. Using Astro file manager, nav to the "System" > "App" folder and locate the launcher and delete it. Then do a reboot. *You will need to install Launcher Pro in the interim to have a launcher at bootup.*
You will want to make a backup of the whole Android build prior to deleting the cooked-in launcher in case the chosen one doesn't install.
The LG zips contain various widgets which will install even if the launcher doesn't.
i dont get it. lower dpi makes it crisp?!
less pixels per inch = better image?
im really confused.

The below explanation is based on what I was able to recall from good ol college days
WVGA Res - 480 pixels x 800 pixels
Screen Size - Whatever the HD2 has (too lazy to check )
Anyways the above 2 are fixed parameters. Now what dpi means literally is pixels per inch (lets not go into more details here)
So if you fit more pixel in a single inch of screen, effectively your widgets get less space on the screen to fit into. (DPI 240)
And if you put less pixels, the same widgets fit in less amount of space in screen so it looks like a higher res (DPI 180/200)
I hope I was able to convey what I meant
I have the keyboard and icons for LauncherPro but I was curious if anyone has a definitive list?
Also wondering why I can't find the Nexus S live wallpaper. I remember when the N1 came out, you could get it's wallpapers like the first day. I'm assuming it's a resolution or porting issue...

There are ROMs out that have the entire Gingerbread look, as well as ROMs that have the Nexus S livewallpapers, Apex for example...
Hi guys
Don't know where to post this really and I can't find any info on it. Does anyone know where I can get the wallpaper from the new Samsung Wave 3? It looks pretty sweet
http://www.mobilegazette.com/handsets/samsung/samsung-wave-3/samsung-wave-3-1.jpg
I dont think anyone will be able to post this wallpaper because this phone is not available in market for now
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Thanks. I didn't know whether it was unique to this new phone or whether it was a wallpaper already in circulation (SGSII for example)
Do a google image search for something like:
wallpaper abstract shine or glow
and be amazed at similar great wallpapers.
Sorry, but I couldn't find the exact same wallpaper as it's on the Wave 3.
i have this picture on bada 2.0, but i can't upload, i can't share... it is defaul picture. could u tell me how to move this picture to sd card? if can do it, u will get it.
I wish I knew how. Still would like this wallpaper!

Hi guys there are two wallpapers shown on the nexus 4 and nexus 7 that I've never seen before. They look the same pattern but in a different colour. Any idea where the wallpaper is from? It looks like a recolouring of one of the existing wallpapers...
Thanks!
I'm trying to get the Nexus 6P wallpaper on my Nexus 7, but I can't find any actual 6P default wallpaper except for one which seems to have been cropped down to 1600x2560. I am aware that could actually be the full size of the wallpaper, but only being 200ish pixels wider than the actual screen resolution seems pretty small. I'd expect it to be around 2880. At any rate, I'd really appreciate it If someone with a 6p could post the full sized wallpaper. You should be able to use an app like "get current wallpaper" to get the full image.

Those are the stock wallpapers, I've got those already. I'm looking for the one that's exclusive to the phone. The forum has the fake one and the one that is zoomed in. I'm just trying to confirm if the zoomed in (1600x2560) one is the real wallpaper. I don't think it is.
