[Q] Creating customer TW launcher?

So I have started to like the TW launcher a little bit more than before but I would really like to have it setup a specific way with Phone Email Text Browser and Applications.
I tried to search on how to customize your own but could not find anything.

I think GTG TW is what your looking for... it has the 5 dock buttons and you can move them around and it is tw. I think viper is using it, I would have to look... ; )

Zeam is nothing like TW. Zeam is more like Launcher Pro.
What you can do is take the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk from /system/app in a custom ROM and install it on your phone. That way you won't get the theme that comes along with the ROM but you will get the TW version of your liking.

gtg tw or adw launcher. this is my adw config with a horizontal app drawer layout and sgs icons for handcnt and dolphin browser:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is GTG touchwiz with only 4 icons, I've used the 5 icon dock but at that point you might as well just use adw or launcher pro:
The only downside to ADW is that it doesn't freeze live wallpapers when scrolling through the app drawer so it's causes a little lag; which goes away when not using a live wallpaper.

If you want a good GTG TW, pull it from Viper.

The easiest way to get GTG TW is to download latest SGS Tools from this site. It has the option for a few stock application tweaks including automated download and install of 5 different GTG TouchWiz versions.

Here's my setup that I've been using for a while now. Sorry it's so big but I have to post it all for full effect, haha. I moved it over from my last phone, just changed a few things. It goes lock screen, then screens 1-7 with 4 being the default. The games screen used to have invisible folders and when you touched the words the folders popped up, but i deleted a lot of games and haven't decided what I want to do with that page yet.
Nova launcher Prime with Multipicture live wallpaper. Custom Icons built into custom backgrounds. Then blank.png for the actual icons.
Widgets: mostly Android Pro Widgets with Minimal Magic Skins. PowerAMP on media screen. Simi clock on main screen.
I wanted something different, asthetically pleasing, but functional. Inspiration came from a post on mycolorscreen.com but I can't find it now. Sorry.

Atom Launcher! Smooth!

Hey everyone! I personally am always searching for the best stable smooth launchers around the web & i came up with this one, Its preety cool, smooth. Atom Launcher is a homescreen replacement app for your Android. Now, we’ve seen lots of launcher in the past, from excellent ones like ADW Launcher Ex, GO Launcher Ex and Apex Launcher, to expensive eye-candy like SPB Shell 3D and TSF Shell Pro. While we all have a much-loved favourite, now perhaps Atom Launcher should capture your attention. Available for devices running Android 4.0 and above, I personally think it would be how GO Launcher Ex would be if the GO Dev Team started again from scratch…
Firstly, it does the basic things. You can manage screens, change grid settings, page looping, auto rotation and adjust things like transition effects. There are up to five pages of scrollable dock, widgets and plenty of themes. It’s also incredibly smooth- certainly as slick and usable as any launcher I’ve tried. You can do things like edit icons and it supports both icon packs and the ability to interchange icons between themes, It comes with its own store which gives you access to many more themes to try out. The themes themselves are usually very integrated and features wallpapers, icons and more. It’s also worth searching the Google Play Store for compatible themes as many 3rd party developers are making their themes compatible for Atom Launcher too (including GO Launcher EX themes, of which there are seemingly thousands). Atom Launcher also comes with its own homescreen widgets which lies at the top of the screen (although it can be turned off). Currently you can choose between search bar and clock feature which also includes battery and date, calendar & notes. Below are some pics capture from my SG3 with the download links & some nice themes.
Calendar widget:

Not better than nova but it has potential. Add of now, no
Sent from my Rooted Gameboy

I've been using this launcher for a couple of weeks on both my GS3 and Nexus 7. While it is not going to satisfy those who use Nova, ADW, or Apex for the robustness of those launchers, others who are just looking for a clean and light launcher may do well with it.
There are some cool features within (most notably, for me anyway, is the way in which the launcher can display the app drawer), it isn't nearly as customizable as the other launchers mentioned earlier. Hopefully, the dev will keep improving it, and it may become more of a contender. However, for those who don't want or care about launcher micromanagement, this is a good option now.

Atom Luncher
I was using Nova before i found this launcher. since then i can not go back to nova, nova prime. somehow i cannt. even if i decide to use nova for a day or two, midway i switch back to atom launcher. its vector graphics seems pretty cool.

used Nova Prime before but once i switched to Apex never want to go back, the new Next Launcher very good too buch they cost too much.

3rd party launchers and Qhd display

I'm a big supporter of Nova Launcher and was wondering if I were to use it on the G3, would the icons, menu and what not support lgs Qhd display? Also what about icon packs?
I won't have mine until the 17th (Verizon), So I can't test it out.
Thanks!

how can i replace the androids with icons? thanks!

Nova runs beautifully on my G3 and quite a bit smoother than the stock LG launcher. However, the LG launcher is very good and there is a lot of customization available.
One thing I've noticed about the QHD display is that it exposes apps with low-res icons. Nova doesn't display these icons any better, but if you use an icon pack with QHD support, you can expect crystal clarity.
The buttery Nova animations with this amount of Ram, SOC & display = WOW!!!

You can't at least not with the released version of Nova. I have tested the LG launcher, Googgle Now, Nova, and Apex. Only Nova mangles the icons, and only for some of the system apps. Pitty, Nova used to be my primary launcher but now I have switched to Apex and see no reason to go back - now that I have figured how to turn off pretty much every animation and eliminate the considerable lag of the default configuration.

Actually by tapping and holding the icon, you can assign a different icon. Works on the home screen.

Good point. I set the resolution to default, took screen shots of all icons then reduced dpi and custom inserted the icons using this method. I now run 480 dpi for everything except the few apps that require it

Love Nova, dpi works great straight out the box, no need for messing about. Both icons and text look sharp.

Anyone have an answer yet if icon packs and nova prime support G3s display?

The font shows differently under the icons because that's the stock font on Nova Launcher.

Looks like some of the shots are themes from Samsung, some are Klwp set ups, and/or both. You will need to change to a 3rd party launcher like Nova Launcher to have continuous scrolling.
I use Nova Prime, it allows you to change icons, icon size, grid size, app drawer grid size, animations, tons of other things.
