TouchWiz port?

Would it be possible to port TouchWiz to the Neuxs S? Since the galaxy line and the Nexus S have similar hardware.

Good God, why?

There are some features I like in TouchWiz and I was going to get a Epic 4G before this was announced so I just want to toy with the firmware.

Exactly my thoughts. Seriously, just get a regular SGS if you want Touchwiz

Touchwiz is the worse thing to come along since the black plague.

You got that right!!
WTF, get a Vibrant if you want crapwiz!

I just looove TouchWiz.
I particularly love the feeling of blissful relief when you dump it and use another launcher.

I hate Touchwiz as much as the next guy, but I can still be civilized and answer a question.
Most likely you can get Touchwiz for the Nexus S, perhaps you need to wait until the Galaxy S phones get Ginger or so, but it should be possible.

Be more specific as to what these "features" are that you want to have from touch wiz.

i hate touchwiz and the sgs. why is samsung making such amazing hardware feeling so slow by letting some monkeys make software! i sold my sgs and hope to see the nexus s in my handys soon.

Agreed.I'm sure this port will be easy. But touchwiz is awful. I just hope they didn't cripple it with RFS. that would be my main question. If it does have RFS ITS likely as horrible as the rest of the galaxy phones. Trust me, I have a captivate and fascinate. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the hardware just hate the software

I think you're talking about something else. The topic is talking about the Touchwiz Launcher, not Browser.

Relax, it's going to be ext4 on the phone and vfat on the card. Everything software is going to be Google, Samsung is hardware only.

TouchWiz has already been ported, you can find the apk and the music apk in the desire forum. They were made by ephumuris. They should work on the Nexus S

Lights out!! I think we have a winner!!

The par for the course was about the laggy performance quite evident in the video. Their software is terrible. Always has been, and always will be.
It was the same on the pre-release Galaxy S phones and people said "it's a pre-release phone." Don't come crying here when you need a lag fix for your awesome GSII.

Sweet... from vibrant to mytouch4g to nexus s to galaxy 2. If its really got a dual core Sammy processor then we are talking Orion? If this baby comes out by summer then that best buy buy back insurance is going to be pretty nice!
I love my sns on cyanogen but really miss all the great codecs etc. Team whiskey really made the vibrant special. I hate touchwhiz but ifs easier to remove most of the bad with that and keep all the good with guys like team whiskey and supercurio than it is to try to hack all of it back in. You get a permenant rfs fix and get rid of the overlay and everything's flying high! The sns seems to have a better screen than my vibrant did in all areas save for the gorilla glass. Can't even imagine a samoled without pentile, its going to be amazing! Wonder how that Orion's going to card against qualcomm and Tegra2... gpu will definitely be nice at the very least. Qualcomm will probably always own the linpack scores but a phone is so much better than that. Lets hope by then gingerbread gets hardware enabled browsing...

SGS II Motion Features

I wish the vibrant would have cool features like the new SGS II is going to have.

(New member so I can't post links just yet)
Do you think the devs will be able to bring some of these features to the vibrant/I9000?

Looks like its using the accelerometer. It could happen if we have a touchwiz 4 port.

Hey, that's what I'm here for!
That and to continue my flashing addiction.

Yea it sure would be nice to skip the cell phone store and just come here to update my "outdated" phone.
Luckily we all bought a phone that has some incredible, lasting hardware.
Should carry me through at least another year.

thats really cool!
Thats touchwiz 4?
Don't we already have that?

I think that is the gyro, and from what i have seen online, vibrant also has it, and it should be enabled when we get gingerbread.
and when this phone comes to tmo, and i team it up with my samsung series 9/macbook air... I WILL RULE THE WORLD <evil laugh here>

Checkout EDT's website in their early releases in the donator's section.

Yeah, only thing is I hear the audio hardware isn't as good...which sucks

oh... i thought you meant like... you know.. a real ice cream sandwich... im disappointed :\

The Nexus S supports ICS so our Vibrants should run it just fine. A Nexus S is basically the same hardware as a Galaxy S with NFC support. Unfortunately I don't think we'll be getting any official ICS from Samsung. We have yet to even see Gingerbread, although Tmobile also has a say in it. I've already decided to either get the Samsung Hercules or Nexus Prime to replace my age old Vibrant. I'm leaning towards the Nexus Prime simply for first-served updates directly from Google.

Looking at the leak that could have just been edited GB, I mean any of the devs here could have made that.

We dont even have (official) GB fully functioning, so I wont think about any further for vibrant

I could really care less about Ice Cream Sandwhich for the Vibrant. Update is released in December, we wait at least 6 or so months for CM8 to be stable, the new update may pose new problems upon the existing ones, and by then the phone is 2 years old already. Touchwiz already offers GPU-acceleration in its launcher and browser, and for the most part, the current Honeycomb GPU acceleration is still lacking compared to that of iOS or WP7 (app drawer, screen rotation, and homescreen animation still lags a little). Not really expecting much of ICS.

Yes, it is going to make Android the same across all Nexus branded platforms. Touchwiz, Sense, and Blur are not going anywhere and the manufacturers still have to modify ICS for each individual device. The Galaxy S is done for official support, period. Samsung is not making any more money from the original Galaxy S compared to the SII; most owners of the original have or will already have switched devices so Samsung has no true need to update the international version. Google's 18 month update suggestion was what it was, a suggestion, and by the time December comes, the Galaxy S is about 18 months old anyways.

Still no signs of Android 2.3 for our beloved "Vibrant"?

Oh come on Samsung, its big time we get to taste the Android Gingerbread OS for our Galaxy S Vibrant. I have a Galaxy S I9000 and I got Gingerbread update in the month of Apr-May. But Samsung has not even released Android 2.2.1 for Vibrant. Did they forget this model?
Edit: No doubt I love the amazing Cyanogenmod 7 on my Vibrant but I'd love to see the 2.3 update from Samsung (some TouchWiz love LOL).

basically they abandoned us after froyo lol

Don't hold your breath on that one. I think the Vibrant is dead, at least in samsung's eyes. There have been multiple leaks for Galaxy S4G, another today for the Epic and i believe the others have also seen leaks, and and still nothing for the Vibrant.

T-Mobile doesn't want to cut into upgrades. Since the Vibrant 4G is out and is the current model, the original Vibrant is deprecated. It is pretty obvious, as no other carrier has been denied a Gingerbread version for the Galaxy S except for T-Mobile.

Although GB would have been nice, I am not missing anything on 2.2.1. What about you guys? Any killer apps or features that makes GB more desirable? Don't tell Crt animation and over scroll glow

Its the little thing like a faster, smother scrolling and improved gps no needs to use lag fix etc that make it worth upgrading. And ofc we all love to upgrade that why we are on XDA .

The 4G isn't much of an upgrade for current Vibrant owners imo. I don't see why we couldn't get the software it's not like it would give us a FFC or 4g(maybe). I guess for those of us smart enough to root and flash that we survive with better roms anyway. We probably should have seen this coming. I mean the only way possible to get froyo was to update via kies which hopefully won't brick your phone.

Flash miui or cm7
probably better than stock gb anyway
