New touchwiz? - Galaxy Tab General

Ok in all the pics of the tab ive seen the launcher looks like a hybrid of the vanilla froyo launcher and touchwiz sooo is this what touchwiz 4 will look like????
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

all the ones ive seen look like tw3 to me but if it is different i think you might be right

As best I know its tw3... Some of the stuff I've seen even had the same wallpaper as the Galaxy s. Other than that, maybe you're just seeing different/updated icons for its firmware revision.
Alternatively, could be that a reviewer has played about to get things just how they wanted. No point in having droid if you can't load up your favourite widgets

I believe it IS an updated TouchWiz as it has the pinch to zoom out home screen function and some of the icon designs are different.

This is the pic I saw with the new touchwiz/vanilla hybrid it looks really nice http://www.samsunghub.com/2010/09/06/samsung-galaxy-tabs-model-numbers-for-different-operators/

from the videos i have watched, that is froyo and when you tap on the applications icon, it takes you to touchwiz.

Oh thats a good point. Since we don't have an official Froyo to compare it to on the Galaxy S, nor do we know what extras and changes they'll have made for the larger form factor, its very hard to compare.
I really don't think its TW4 or anything, because they would be pimping the fact its all new and improved in the literature.

Certainly could be. I guess the Tab needs its own version of TW anyways (higher res icons maybe, and just stuff calibrated for the larger screen) and I certainly see what you mean about it looking like a hybrid. Particularly now I'm running a themed non-TW on my galaxy, I can see it a lot more on the home screen. The menus is still TW for sure, but to me it looks like it has some LauncherPro love right out of the box instead of the standard TW dock. And thats a good thing IMHO.
Not saying I hate TW or anything, but that I never liked the dock and always did something to it to make it better.

Probably a clever launcher/theme to make it look like that. IIRC the IOS keyboard doesn't look like that.

The ios keyboard does look like that, that is the same keyboard, very impressive.
This has what to do with Nexus One? This should have been posted in the forum where trashed posts go.

Link dead?
It's a mobile link. Here's one for desktops:

Well the wallpaper scrolls with the screen so its definitely a theme, runs pretty smooth though.
The description states it is not a port, it is a replica of the iOS that is nearly identical but has some issues. This is a fantastic job, but ultimately sort of pointless.
pretty good replica.
may impress some of the iDiots.
Also, if I recall from my 3GS... When you access spotlight, the rest of the screen darkens... other than that and scrolling wallpaper, it looks to be a pretty acurate replica.
Really, though, the only use I would have for iOS on my Android is - to run the few apps that still haven't been built for Android. And no amount of skinning is going to make an iClone run those apps

S.O.S N and X are what you want for sure. We've talked alot in OD's forum I have since switched to swags roms. N is a senseless sense rom, its currently what I use, the sense apks were replaced by go launcher/dialer/lockscreen ect. Its very cool and fast. If you want sense only X is the way to go. Very very fast built with sense 4.0 elements really good stuff. Both of these are D.D candidates. You'll have a much better experience with almost no problems. Currently Swag is updating all the SOS roms for theme and more speed. Drop your swap partition before flashing any of swags roms you will never need it. I'll post screen shots of N for you to look at.

You can have any lock screen you want there's dozens of them. There's a really cool sense screen you can can icons on the lockscreen,just like the express. Mine is called ics HD by go locker its about the best one, you have 4 lockscreen icons you can set. It was to hard to get a screen shot of the icons while dragging the ring to show them. Dude I love the express alot, but since I've been on swag I've had a way better phone functionality and way more control over the phone with better results. I also am using underworld 2 and I'm getting amazing results on SOS. I'll always be a od fan but my evo belongs to swag town now.

SOS are some of my favorite roms around. Super stable, and super optimized. And everything works. I've been rocking SOS X lately, and I must say, its one of the best roms I've ever used on my OG Evo.
I recommend partitioning your SD card to Ext3, flashing Darktremors apps2sd, and running Car-o-dope's tweaks, and you'll have yourself a freaking bad**s phone!
Using either SOS X or N.

Using ICS

Bad Things
-Color Scheme
-Launcher
-Error in Callender sync (only in some devices)(thanks to smashbox)(can be fixed by doing a full wipe/restore)
To Make it Good
-Use Nova Launcher (in 8x10 grid) (thanks to aletheus)
Seems somewhat more responsive than Honeycomb though (not with Touchwiz). But still testing.
The looks is according to one's taste, I suppose--I liked the (pure) ICS look on my Galaxy Nexus so have little complaints here on the 7.7, especially after I switch from Touchwiz to Nova Launcher (same on my Nexus).
Added screencap of my homescreen. (Nova Launcher, Suave HD icons, Simiclock Widget.)
I don't know what condition your tablet is, but mine is noticeably snappier.
Just like EVERY SINGLE DEVICE I HAVE UPDATED TO ICS from GB or HC base
- Nexus S
- Motorola Atrix
- Sony Tablet S
Where did you get ICS? P6800 hasn't got official ICS yet.
Update: Ok, it seems that there is a torrent with some ICS update. Need to investigate more.

Yeah, it hit the forums yesterday morning. What a great un-birthday present from samsung!!!
On topic:
I am surprised to be loving touchwiz! Its certainly not lagging, the entire device is much faster. I draw using sketchbook pro and photoshop touch, so the "force gpu rendering" under settings>development seems to have even sped up drawing capabilities. Lag is barely noticeable, whereas before it was inhibitive.
As far as colors, OP, you mean color sceme for ICS?
I'm disappointed to see color banding in gradients still, thouh it does seem a little better now...

The Austrian ICS update does have TouchWiz. It's the new look of TouchWiz 5, as also seen on the Samsung Galaxy S III. There are many new features to explore under Apps and Widgets.
I've put on forced GPU rendering. Touchwiz still seems slightly (but still noticeably) laggy, albeit less than HC

Never though I'd say this..

And I am the one who hates touchwiz.. (although, I use Nova as my launcher)

I actually like Touchwiz on this phone, seriously. All previous versions annoyed me, but it is smooth and flows well on this phone.
Touchwiz is good and nice, but i think if the backgrounds were white (in the contacts and call log at least) it will be nicer

Can understand you very well.
Have been an aosp freak before (or I'm still, but not at this device), but I'm pretty pleased with touchwiz now. Some ctl and build.prop tweaks and all works fine so far.
Also touchwiz has at the current stage already some small, but useful features build in like the battery percent or the pinch to overview at the appdrawer. Not to forget about the missing mhl support at cm10 which is a dealbreaker for me.
Additional I must confess that I don't like the attitude of team hacksung, even while their work is still much appreciated and they are for sure great developers, it seems to me they aren't doing it anymore because they like to do it, more because they think they have to. For sure it's annoying when noobs clutter the development thread with ridiculous posts, but that you have to expect at a device like the gs3 and the argument that they are doing it for free, yes, it sure makes their work more valuable, but at the same time, they knew it when they started.
My opinion is they or at least every member of their team on his own should focus on one device, maybe that way it would be less load for each developer and at the same time more benefits for the community.
Sry that I cluttered your thread, this I wanted to get of from me sometime ago.

Coming from a galaxy s phone, I remember wanting touch wiz back. The problem with touch wiz as opposed to HTC sense, is you can't retain the framework with a custom Rom. I feel there is more to gain from having a custom Rom than having full blown touch wiz. Look around though, you can probably find a .zip of the launcher here, so you can run a very close emulation of touch wiz on the Rom if your choice. I had a Rom on my captivate called "remics" which had galaxy s3 stock theming throughout the operating system. Just look around, you'll find what you want here on xda

It's the hidden stuff I love in the new touchwiz, like the native mkv and other formats, stay awake, camera app, t9 dialler, swipe to message/call, reject a call with a message..... and loads more really well thought out features. Touchwiz isn't just the launcher. I use apex and have it looking how I want (stockish), yet retain all the samsung stuff. Why anyone would complain about touchwiz on the S3 is beyond me.

There are some good dialler apps and message apps that have white backgrounds (or customisable) with the t9 dialling aswell. I can't remember the names, but you should have a look if you're interested.
The simple fact that I could not create folders in my app drawer made me flash back

I am running Holo HD but I like touchwiz. Especially the icons, they did an amazing job on the icons. they look so nice now and not preschool like before. So I decided to keep using the touchwiz icons for holo.
Yeah, the thing I love with touchwiz is the message app (stock android'd message app is dead boring), the camera app and a bunch of other stuff.
What kinda is a dealbreaker for me which I can't really decide about is exFAT support. Dumbing down my 64gb microSDXC card kinda feels like a stupid thing to do. exFAT is much faster and allows big chunks to be handled at once (like 16 exabyte chucks instead of 4GB ones)
The whole idea with their Nature UX kinda appeals to me. Soothing alarm and ring tones and beautiful wallpapers. Much better than previous touchwiz's.
i like TouchWiz , tried it on both S2 and S3, i also tried CM9/CM10 on both
I hate the TouchWiz launcher, changing the launcher to something like nova solved my problems.
lol because of this I just reverted back to touchwiz from ADW.

Starting to get bored of the stock look and feel. Any ROMs out there that may have To

Don't get me wrong, I love stock. Just lately I want something a little different. Just to try. Maybe I would miss stock after that but is there anything out there that I could try?

I agree. I've used avatar before. If you want a different look this should fit your needs. Add this plus the newest miui launcher, which you can also theme (lock screen included) and you will have a completely different look. I liked it myself but find myself always going back to stock.

You don't need to change rom's to completely change the way your phone looks. If you want to change rom's that's great and all, but I'd say that everything cool that you see on mycolorscreen.com can be achieved with the factory rom. You just have to use your imagination and think for yourself.
Lot of options!

If you look at the development you can find some Xperia (sony), Touchwiz (samsung), Blur (motorola) and even LG alike UI's themes on roms, just look at them at development thread. If you want something closer to stock I would recommend Asylum rom, its a darker version of CM10.1 with some improvements and daily updates
Try them and find the one you like the most! Then come and tell us your experience!
Yeah I have PA. There's really no launcher that I like since Nova and Apex change the dock size a little (too spaced out). I'll take a look at avatar ROM.
