Vanilla Gingerbread ROM? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

New Samsung convert here. I just switched over from my HTC G2. That phone came with plain vanilla Android stock. I really liked that interface over TouchWiz and was wondering if they already released a ROM that was similar to basic android.
I looked in the development page, but I wasn't able to find if any of those were exactly what I am looking for.
Thanks in advance.

I don't believe there's many roms yet. Get a launcher that's better for you like adwex and hang tight. I think most devs are waiting on their devices to arrive.

Gingerbread launcher from Eugene on the Market. It says it doesn't work with GSII, but I have it on mine, and it works flawlessly. It's a direct rip from Gingerbread, not a launcher made to look like it. It is it. https://market.android.com/details?...S5lYnByb2R1Y3Rpb25zLmFuZHJvaWQubGF1bmNoZXIiXQ..
This along with the Gingerbread keyboard from Steven Lin, and you have the stock vanilla experience. https://market.android.com/details?...8uYW5kcm9pZC5pbnB1dG1ldGhvZC5sYXRpbi5mcmVlIl0.
Enjoy.

Vanilla would be awesome!

??? I'm using it with the font changed from default to "Puritan Sans", and it's working great. What fonts don't work?

The stock Samsung keyboard is the stock gingerbread keyboard with blue accents, no need for a 3rd party keyboard/app.

Is the dock normally that... fat?

read the decription guys, it clearly states the launcher mis aligned not by much, there fixed versions but they domt seem to work.for me , theres a link to them on the op, =
edit. yo can replace the launcher if it bothers you.
I cannot for the life of me find in the OP where it states that the dock is misaligned, it only says for the lockscreen.

The launcher for this rom is sweet. I did get some fc's when I removed the picture and video widget from the homescreen. I simply cleared the launcher data and its all fine. Besides that everything works perfectly.

I tested the MIUI ROM and its nice, but I love touchwiz, love the MIUI Gallery tho as the stock samsung one makes the phone seem laggy which we ALL know it is not!
Is this a simple case of copying the APK?

Just tried copying the APK - Doesn't work (Get multiple FC's) It's a case of using the Touchwiz Gallery and copying over it and porting theXML's over.

What is going in here.
ADW launcher EX!
Samsung Galaxy S II
Launcher Pro but I wouldn't run one called kangasoreass, ballzalloverme, crotchlickitycumshot or any other such nonsense.
I'm glad you were able to add go launcher ex in your poll. I have the paid version of ADW & LP, yet the GLex has me set as default (it's free and I would pay for it any day).
Btw, do you want me to post link to that port idea I had earlier?

I agree with both your comments.
.....
I've tried TW, Go Launcher, and Launcher Pro, and I prefer Launcher Pro the most. Before I vote however, I read an off handed comment somewhere about TW being optimized to use the hardware, while the others lack this because they're launchers for the generic android community. Is there anything to that? I haven't really made back and forth comparisons to try to see a difference myself, so I'm hoping to be lazy and have someone else tell me the answer

This is a super awesome idea!!!!!!
All i want is the k spec battery you had on your 3.2 version. the blue circular battery but maybe a green one to keep it asop looking.
The lockscreen options would be a good add.
I use adw ex but any launcher is good.
Thats all i can think of right now.

I have SPB Shell (biggest problem I have with it is that there is no transition effects sliding between homescreens - 2D, everything else is cool) and I agree, people don't want to pay $15.
Also my launcher of choice: Go Launcher Ex
Theme choice (specifically the dialer) below links would be REALLY COOL!

[App][Launcher][New] SF Launcher Alpha

Hello, everyone.
While browsing the play store, I saw this cool launcher called SF launcher alpha.
It's UI is similar to google now.
I really liked the looks which is a bit minimalistic.
It has Holo interface.
There is a light and dark theme which can either be chosen manually, or it changes according to the time of the day.
Also, you can also choose scenes of different cities which are shown at the top.
It's in alpha stage, so don't expect high customization.
Plus version supports ADW icon packs.
Its for 4.0+
I have attached screenshots.
Here's the link- https://play.google.com/store/apps/...oogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=sf+launcher
I am only sharing this app and am not related to the app or developer in any way.
If you liked it, spare a second and press the thanks button.
Looks nice and minimalistic, I like!

[MOD]S4 Launcher & Weather Widget for E4GT AOSP

I know everybody wants it, so here it is. S4 goodness for any AOSP ROM. Not for TouchWiz!!
S4 Launcher & Weather Widget for E4GT AOSP:

***NOTE: if you are using any ROM with PIE control, you need to disable it or your menu button will not work... this may not play nice with some of the hybrid ROMs (like PACman)***

Guess I didn't really even think about the fact that the weather widget was a part of the launcher. That's where my "about time" came from. Was thinking maybe it was a mod so that the widget could be used on any launcher in asop. :crying:
Oh well I'm sure the S4 launcher is nice. Will try and pull myself away from nova for a while.

Hey Shadow, try using the files from the zip on TouchWiz... maybe it will work. I believe the apps need to go to preload instead of system but it doesn't hurt to try. And you can use it if it works.
