First of all:
DO NOT EVEN DARE COMPLAIN ABOUT ANYTHING NOT WORKING OR IT FORCE CLOSING IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS POST
Second (ye olde cyanogen's mega awesome disclaimer):
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or the current economic crisis. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this system app before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modificiations, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
Ok, now that's over and done with
Description:
This is the GS3 touchwiz launcher, rescaled to work with the Nexus' stock density/resolution, and with an extra homescreen row added to take advantage of the 720p display. It's pretty smooth, Samsung have done a pretty good job
I'm going to be away for a while, moving to Europe to hopefully find a job in my field (if you guys know anyone looking for game artists, please foward them on to my portfolio ) So I probably won't be able to continue work on this until I get settled somewhere. I know Madphone will continue working on it for his TW addon pack, if people are interested in getting the widgets working etc.
Thanks everyone for your support and everything, has been much appreciated
Installation Instructions:
Flash TW5launcher.zip in recovery. Tested in CWM, experiences may vary in other recoveries.
Download Link:
http://multiupload.biz/0rjhd04oyh7i/TW5launcher_MultiUpload.biz.zip.html
Known Bugs:
- Wallpaper picker options don't work properly. This is because most of the options rely on the more system side components of touchwiz - for now, just use the "set wallpaper for homescreen option"
-Bottom Icon Row is cut off in landscape mode
-Wallpaper doesn't scroll (looking into it - It's meant to not scroll by stock, but I don't think it would be a bad feature to have, depending on performance impact.) Decided to keep it unscrolling for performance reasons.

Do i need to flash it? Or can i just push in to system/app ??

This!
But he does have a good point, you can push to system/app, but you will probably still have to install the app over the top of it to get it to work. I just listed the most foolproof way I could think of in order to decrease the likelyhood of people complaining about having problems by not doing it properly (ie. pushing to system/app, but not setting the correct permissions).
I'll update the OP in a second.

It worked fine by pushing it + setting the permissions. Thanks...

Since I have a stock recovery I tried the "copy to system/app, mess with permissions and clear stock launcher defaults" method and it works as well as can be expected since we are missing some of the SGS3 framework.
The Lightflow bug that makes Google books read aloud makes changing desktops talk to you which is kind of funny.
Love ya work as this seems to be good enough to use everyday. Touchwiz was never that bad but it's nice to have the choice on a Nexus device.
Edit: Just noticed in landscape it chops the bottom line of icons off. Not a complaint but if it's an easy fix?...please?

Nice work
Since I am non-rooted on the Nexus, I just installed the .apk file (as in NOT fully following the instructions, I am aware of that).
Trying to add widgets but got the permission thingy, rest works nice and looks awsome, nice work mate!

Thx for this. An excellent performing launcher as smooth as I've seen ever on the GN. I can't get it to work though through a reboot. Using the instructions verbatim or not. Still super cool to play with!

How do you get it to stfu? I don't need voice clarification when opening folders and stuff

Per App DPI settings without Paranoid Android

Hey, guys! Firefox Beta is currently my browser of choice, but due to the DPI settings of our beloved Nexus 7, the app uses the Phone UI. Just look at it!

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, let's take a look at it's layout when it sees a proper tablet DPI.
Fabulous! Now let's figure out how we can achieve this...
First of all, we need to install a framework called Xposed. This handy app can modify your ROM without touching an APK or having to flash anything. If your interested, read more about it in its OP. Speaking of the OP, you'll be downloading the APK at the bottom under attachments
You'll find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Open the app and touch the 'Install/Update' button. It should install successfully and request that you reboot your device. Do so now.
Now, we need to grab the app that will allow us to change the DPI settings per app. The app will also allow you to deny permissions to apps, but that's not why we are here.
You'll find the app in the attachment section of the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072081
Install it and then open the previously installed Xposed Installer. Switch over to the Modules tab and checkmark the Xposed App Settings. Reboot.
Almost done!
After you've rebooted, open up the Xposed App Settings app. Scroll down to the app you would like to modify. In this case, we'll be changing Firefox Beta to tablet mode. Select Firefox Beta when you find it and enable it. Once enabled, you'll be greeted with the following screen:
Yours won't look exactly like that, but you'll need to make yours look like that also. Your DPI can be anything between 160 and 177. Once you've applied those, touch the wrench icon on the top right and force stop the app. go back to the app and touch the icon to the left of the |> icon. It'll ask you if you want to kill the application, do it again for good measure.
Success! Touch the |> icon to start the app and it should be laid out in all its tablet glory!
Bonus: You can also get the tablet, dual pane version of the Settings app by setting the resolution to 1000x1600 in Xposed App Settings.
In closing, take a look at some before and after pictures for some apps that don't have tablet lay outs by default.

As you can see, most of the text is squeezed together in an undesirable fashion. I switched it back. I also believe Pulse has a tablet layout, but I'm not sure.
If you know of any more apps that do this, let me know.

Tried and followed instruction,was able to change the UI but i think changing the dpi doest work thanks for sharing

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm no developer, so I can't be of much help with issues like that. Your best betis to ask the developer of xposed in his thread, or trying again.

Except it's no longer stock; you've modified the framework. Keep that in mind when you get an OTA.

So how do you know if xposed installed the files correctly does it auto reboot?

Good guide thanks. I already did this with chrome to make it work with a site I use.

Not sure I see how Firefox looks any better though. Looks horrible both ways. Truly a terrible browser imo. No redeeming features for me since I am not interested in flash.

I've since ditched the browser for Lightning Browser. Tablet may look the same, but the tab system feels much better in tablet mode.
Flash also works fine on Lightning Browser.
EDIT: OP updated with info for dual pane Settings app. Too lazy to check it? Well, it's simple. Select 1000x1600 resolution for the Settings app.

*Here is the link to download the full screen toggle app so you dont have to modify the build prop

Then with root explorer Add "qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1" (without the quotes) at the end of the build.prop in /system and reboot (credit to anirudh412 for this).

I would not recommend this app. I tried it. It worked but after reboot my phone I ended up in boot loop. It mess up with the build.prop. So if you don't have recovery it will be pain to restore phone to previous state.

This app worked well for me. Just the placement of the on screen keys would sometimes get I am the way of the software keyboards lower left and lower right most keys. But overall pretty good.

Did you modify did build prop to remove the soft keys before u installed the app? You dont need to modify the build prop for this that maybe the reason you had that boot loop.

This thing almost perfect, the only thing missing is the stock recent apps, instead it uses its own recent apps that don't allow me to remove apps that are running by swiping it to the right.

Yea someone had all ready mention doing the build.prop mod to remove soft keys then installing LMT launcher, i just wanted to provided alternatives and with this you don't need to do build.prop and you all ways have a back arrow key or home button.

well the thing is that with the original post that i put you dont need to do any build prop mods its just installing the apps, but if you want to do the LMT launcher with removing the soft keys its been posted on other threads but ill repost it. Also i dont if a moderator can move this to the app section i posted in wrong place.

Here's what I did:
1. Root the phone with my bootloader still locked.
2. I installed the LMT Launcher app and configured the PIE controls
3. When the PIE controls are all set, I installed the app "Fullscreen Toggle"
4. Fullscreen Toggle gets rid of the softkeys but keeps the status bar on top, which I think is good.
5. I also prefer using Browser vs. Chrome, so Installed Browser apk using the instructions in the other thread for that.
Now, when I browse, I have the full screen, when I exit the browser, I no longer have wasted space by the softkeys taking up space.
I have to say, I love LMT Pie control, its fast and intuitive and its even more convenient to use the phone one handed with it. This made all the difference with this phone.

This is exactly what im doing didnt have a chance to do it yesterday, one question you got stock browser to work cuz it seemed like nobody had it working. Did you follow the instructions from the link I provided.

The TouchWiz launcher from the S4 also works. The launcher will be very small, but it can be enlarged using X posed Framework + App settings.

Absolutely! Here's what I did. These steps are for those who don't know about Xposed Framework as well.
1. Make sure that Xposed is installed (the framework, not just the apk), download App settings module from the Downloads section within the app. Go back to the modules section, and activate the checkbox for App Settings.
2. Reboot. (It is recommended that you reboot for the framework to be installed for the changes to take effect. While this is true, I reboot after my modules are downloaded/activated. If not, they would require a second reboot as well.)
3. Navigate to "TouchWiz home" in App Settings. Switch it from Off to On, and change the DPI value to a resolution that you find suitable, and hit save. I use 460 for this launcher, and various values for different apps that I find is a waste of screen real estate (like 280 for the Play Store, and most of the Google Apps).

Looks like Google has implemented the fix, so hopefully we see it roll out with December updates.
Or a Dev will implement it in their ROM if TWRP drops before then.

Substratum works just fine on a rooted Pixel XL. You must have a 7.1.1 compatible theme and you should pick v7_1_Google_Pixel as your android version when applying the theme.

I have it installed and running the swift black theme. I have all apps themed except android system and system UI . I read somewhere that theming system would cause a boot loop.

so... I attempted to use a layer to adjust navbar height... now i'm stuck at the bouncing balls.
I attmpted to sideload the update again, and adb keeps sending me crazy errors like:
error: could not install *smartsocket* listener: cannot bind to (there's a # here)
only one usage of eachsocket address <protocol/network/address port>is normally permtted. <10048)
could not read ok from adb server f
*failed to start daemon*
and then it eventually says error protool fault <coudn't fread status>: no error
Any idea how to fix this

Were you using substratum Legacy? Go into TWRP, mount system, go to advanced file manager, delete overlay folder in system_root/system. Reboot

I am using Substratum (Swift Dark) and it's working very well. It will force close in System UI Tuner and at battery details (after touching the graph to expand) but I believe a fix from the very active Dev is coming.
He is a great guy, chatted with him on Hangouts. Quick to respond and assist with issues.

I am using Swift Black on a Google Pixel. Love the theme, but every time the theme updates (I notice Substratum upgrading the theme's resources every now and then), it breaks certain apps (usually Google Photos, it will open up, but after browsing for a few seconds, it just crashes). The issue is always fixed by uninstalling the theme for all apps in Substratum, rebooting, reinstalling the theme for all apps, then rebooting again.
Do you have these issues as well? I'm thinking there must be a better way to fix the issue, since rebooting twice is kind of annoying.

Have this issue once in a while with different apps after it updates. Best thing to do is uninstall theme overlay, delete it, and uninstall substratum. Restart phone then reinstall both. Restart again.
Seems to fix it for me every time.
I've tried clearing theme cache, rebuilding theme, updating inside substratum, but none of those really work well.

NOT giving anyone a hard time, but the description in the play store talks about having to do this from time to time after an update. Saw it either in the theme or tha app, not sure.
So it seems ro be expected, yea annoying, but expected.
