Themes
first theme by philippsp: 'Black-Glas'SGS II', by Rausio (http://anonym.to/?http://goo.gl/UAIpl)
install a theme (this moves a .zip from /sdcard/ into the theme dir on /sdcard/.TW4Themes/
Choose a theme. How theming currently works:
you simply zip all the icons.
You can theme the following:
Code: Select all (http://www.blackdroid.net/forum/ftopic19681_tw-launcher-4-5-v1-4-3-hacked-touchwiz-4-launcher-.html#)app icons: give the .png the name packageName.png
app backdrops: give the .png the name tile_packageName.png
random backdrops: name it tileXX.png where XX goes from 0 to 15 (both inclusive)
app icons only for dock: dock_packageName.png
home icon: dock_home.png
apps icon: dock_apps.png
dock background: dock.png
and more (menus, page indicator etc. (http://goo.gl/fmizX))
You can combine themes (e.g. a full theme and then apply just a dock theme), "Choose Theme" will just overwrite the old icons with supplied icons in the .zip.
If you select "none", theming dir will be cleared.
Now I wanna see some great themes.
Btw: Swiftwork is working on a great tw4Manager, which will probably include the possibility to view&download themes directly on the device..
Example of a dock theme can be downloaded here (http://anonym.to/?http://goo.gl/T6eOp)
EXTRA Stuff
Resizing for all widgets enabled (long press widget and then drop it without moving)
Scrolling widgets are supported (currently not recommended to use though, lags when scrolling)
Issues
Power Widget stays gray on samsung firmwares (it does not on cm7 for example), after reboot it will be displayed normally.
Some/most Samsung widgets won't work without modification with this modded launcher.
If you want them back, check this link (http://anonym.to/?http://goo.gl/Pa6F6) (thanks to scheichuwe)
To fix other widgets, grab the attached key, in AndroidManifest.xml set android:sharedUserId="tw4.fr4gg0r" (if not there add it) and resign it with the downloaded key (password is touchwiz, alias is fr4gg0r) more details here. (http://anonym.to/?http://goo.gl/GBUpB)
Works with
Every device with armv7 processor and froyo or higher
Installation
Install the tw4.zip in recovery (also contains ShareApp.apk; this will remove the old twlauncher, so make sure you have another launcher as backup installed!) (if zip does not install the app, /system is not mounted rw, then push the app manually to /system/app/ [remove TouchWiz30Launcher.* if present!] or
install the launcher as normal app. This will have some restrictions: for example it cannot uninstall apps (not really tested; only possible if you don't already have a twlauncher installed!)
Developers
Swiftwork (mainly settings layout, themes, tw4manager)
Fr4gg0r (the rest )
If you have questions/bug reports feel free to come on irc (freenode) to #cmsgs
Don't take the .apk and theme it, instead make a theme.zip
Changelog:
v1.4.3: crash when no share app is installed fixed, this time also tw4.zip updated
