hi,
I downloaded couple of APKs from Sammobile, especially from the S8 and install on my tab s3, it worked perfectly. No more Apps button, just swipe up, icons from the S8 ( some of it) but the main draw back, though its not significant to me, the icon becomes smaller if you change to 5x6. But, so much smooth now.
The version I downloaded from Sammobile would not rotate into landscape, which made my keyboard case useless. I had to to a full reset to get back to stock. Has anyone found a version that will work in landscape?
Any way to get this with landscape option?
I would also like to use this, as I HATE the massive icons on the stock launcher, but I almost never use my tab in portrait orientation.
Has anyone found a way to allow this launcher, but also allow landscape?
(Sorry, I know I'm late to this conversation, but I just got my S3)
Hi all...
very kindly, could someone give me the stock version of touchwiz for the s3 galaxy tab?

If you download a stock ROM from Samsung, you can just open it up using a zip program and get the apps out that way. IMHO that's the safest way to get stock files.

Recently my girlfriend got me new note 8.0 as she said my old tab was sluggish. As a first time Note user shifting from tab 7.7, I found that there are few things that I couldn't find in my note 8.0 like:
1. No quick app task bar - I quite used to open calculator from the task bar and it would come out as a floating pop up window, I could easily drag the window anywhere and closed it once I was done with it.
2. Cascade view multiwindow - As I was using note 8.0 erobot ROM with multiwindow MOD
Is there any shortcut or anything that I can change somewhere? I have tried to look around but still can't find it.
Thank you.

i'm actually the user that ported the multiwindow mod to the 7.7 originally...if u want the same exact experience u had on the P6800 the u can use my mod in the link below BUT unfortunately it only works on 4.1.2 so u would need to downgrade if you're on 4.2.2. If its ONLY cascade mode that u want then its possible to mod the flashbar (left side quick app task bar/multiwindow launcher) to have the dual/cascade mode buttons u are used to seeing in the minimode panel/nav bar...since the left launcher is the default multiwindow mode for the note 8 then i assume that what u want is the bottom quick apps task bar/minimode tray launcher that u have been using on the 7.7 which means u should follow the link below

For the floating calculator? I use pie launcher and aircalc. I swipe from the left to bring out the pie and slide to air calc. Pretty fast too for like 20 of my favorite apps (including floating stickies and evernote and the floating voice recorder). I also use overlay launcher set as a launch point just at the level of the volume rocker so it's different from the lauch area of pie launcher, Use it for specialty apps like tasker and shortcuts to "activities".Then for swiping from the right I use swapps for an alphabetized quick launch bar. Most 1 gig ram tabs and phones find this hard to handle but the note 8 breezes through.
Multiwindow cascade? I'm planning to do that too but still enjoying stock for now...want to wait it out for that new magazine UX that's replaced touchwiz UX on samsung tablets. I hope it makes it to the note 8 during the next update...

Yes, I am actually using your multiwindow mod and like it very much on my tab 7.7. About the tray launcher, Is it possible to make it hidden for note 8.0? Is it compatible with N5120? I feel that the good thing about note 8.0 screen, it isn't block by the task bar like at tab 7.7. I'm still learning to use Note 8.0, but sometimes I miss some part of tab 7.7 that I am already getting used to it. Thanks! :good:

I just downloaded aircalc and tried to use it for my note, but I feel the ads was so annoying, I previously used realcalc and like it so much, thanks for your suggestion :good:
Dear Expert
This may be my personal preference and complaint hope this Q&A helps other users too.
I was used my touchwiz devices and used S-pen and s-memo, more extensively than most average users.
I even had chance to experience note 3 from my girlfriend, I used note I and II previous. Now, I switch out to Nexus and got Galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition. I couldn't help but feel very familiar to note 3. It felt really same the screen showed improvement but it just felt like they just moved everything from note 3 right onto 2014 note 10.1 if anything it felt really buggy. Buggy as my old 1st at&t tab 7.
---main concern: never were a fan of physical home button. Aesthetic point of view it may be hit or miss. I still don't know how it would look w/o it but the glossy, plastic-ky material is bigger issue. Home button is annoying reading or using in portrayed mode, a lot of review on internet mentioned it. Q1. does anyone know how to disable this? this isn't my priority.
Q2. (LIKE IN THE TITLE) I want to put to NAVIGATION BAR like nexus or like the old honeycomb devices so i'll have home, back maybe even menu at any orientation. I see people experimenting with rooted app / ROM but I was looking for stock option.
Q3. coming from using note 1 and 2, PAGE BUDDY. I saw twitter's "COVER" lock screen. it seems like a alternative but I would like permanently set layout whenever there's an action. Anyone find app alternative or repack .apk ?
lastly, can anyone point out how to transcribe script into text on memo? like what action memo does. I don't like action memo. I like pen button, double tap on screen to launch quick note much better. They should have made s-note versatile instead of make that separate. I really don't like pen action. NOTE 2 is far advanced and easy in usability than any note device. I maybe tuned into it I'm wondering if there's any other user feel the same?
Q2:
What you could do is modify the build.prop before you flash the rom. You open up the zip file and activate softkeys then flash it. You won't be able to activate the buttons without root after the firmware is already on the device. I don't know if modifying the build.prop will trip knox.

Hello, I just bought Note 4 and me previous phone was Note 1! Its a big change but some stuff isn't in Note 4 or maybe i dont know how to use it yet
First I want to use customized widgets on lock screen, I could do that in jellybean but in kitkat i cant put any widgets on lock screen and there I tried to Google it but couldn't find any options called "enable lock widgets" in security settings, its not there!
and I dont want to use and thrid party softwares like lockgo
2nd question is about S-Note software, in Note 1 I could type some mathematical equations, i dont see this option anymore in Note 4, and I could make Squares and Circles manually which isn't available too
That is a huge leap!
I don't know about lockscreen widgets, as I never liked, nor used, them, but my guess is Samsung ditched them because they won't be in Android 5.0. Instead, we'll get notifications on the lockscreen, which I think will be infinitely more useful. I do know how to get S Note to recognize formulas, though:
Open S Note. Write a formula with the S-pen (or your fingers). Then, select it using the selection tool at the top. (It will tell you which tools are which if you hover the S-pen over them.) Then, click Transform Into when the menu pops up. Finally, click formula.
Ok thanks for the answers, i have one more question
I could use a wide wallpaper and when you move your home screen it extends to far right and left so you could see more of the wallpaper but now its always fixed picture,I tried to use some other software from Play but none of them worked

You're welcome, and as far as I know, it would take root to change that. Maybe someone else knows something, though.
Hi
I have installed Lineage 14.1 (Android 7 ROM) and Gapps. It's runs on the google launcher which is pretty awesome but it doesn't feel right as the tablet is a Samsung.
I know the word "Touchwiz" can cause arguments in the android world but I want to install the s8 touchwiz as it is really smooth and a massive improvement on it predecessors. I have installed an Apk like I have done on my s7e but it just says "Touchwiz has stopped working"
Is there other apps that I need so the touchwiz can run?
(Note I am just interested installing the touchwiz not the other samsung apps (bloatware) but obviously if there are any samsung system apps I need, I don't mind installing them)
Thanks
Hi peeps I have an update.
I have come up with an alternative solution.
Basically I haven't got touchwiz on my tablet there is so many system apps I need to look into and research it's madness....but I will keep looking into it and when I crack the code I will let you know.
I have found a way of making my tablet look more samsung and close to an S8 touchwiz than ever.
First step is go on to google play store and download "Note 8 launcher" made by Nice Launcher Apps, this app is the best samsung touchwiz launcher I have ever tested and I tried a lot of them, once it's downloaded and installed it's time to start tweaking with the app setting (I luckily had an S8 in front of me to help me compare) the hardest setting is getting rid of the all apps button as you don't need it due to the fact it has the awesome swipe up feature like the S8 and N8. You need to go into a setting called dock and enable editing at the very bottom then you can drag and remove what apps in the bottom you don't want and add which ones you do want in the bottom that you do want.....also look at other dock setting get rid of dock scrolling by changing it to 1 page and once your finished in your dock setting disable the editing, to sort lock your in your prefered setting. The rest is quite straight forward and you will also have to change the awful wallpaper it comes with (unless you like it)
Once you have all setting tweaked to the way you like it....you need to move on and get some samsung style widgets....you see a lot of suggestions on the net for widgets but I feel the most accurate when sitting right next to S8 is Xwidget app via the play store, just type in samsung and loads of s8 and s7 style widgets appear choose you favourites if you have the normal version of the app or all of them if you have the pro version. Then simply apply the widgets the same way you apply other custom widget apps to your home screen.
Lastly if you don't like any of the icons installed or available to the Note 8 launcher app then go on to zedge and get some from there as they have good selection as well.
This was all for a Samsung Tab Pro 10.1 but this will pretty much work on any android device and it doesn't seem you will require root (even though my tab was rooted) all you need is some confidence around settings and a little bit of paitents.
If anyone has any info on samsung system apps and how to get a real touchwiz working on my tablet.....then that would be great.
Have fun all
Hey people.
I feel like I need to update this thread as the method at the top didn't work out. For some reason the launcher wouldn't remember my setup and in the end would become a waste of memory and time.
I heard that you could set up nova launcher to look like touchwiz. So I searched around the web and found this post from XDA.
https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/foru...theme-nova-launcher-s8-launcher-t3583095/amp/
It perfect and does exactly what you need it to do and feels just like Samsung s8 touchwiz/Samsung Experince.
For the icons I downloaded this app
https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&s...oQ5YQBCCEwAQ&usg=AOvVaw2UNLhVoe-wCWql_eNnYhkF
Any of the icons that are not right then you can edit them via nova launcher and put the right ones in.
It's prob worth noting I was given a tenner to spend on Google play store after a mix up on android pay. So I got the nova prime and paid for the decent icon pack. If you got the spare cash then it's worth a spend but if you don't then I think you can do this free as well....plenty of other s8 icon packs on play store.
It won't work on the tab S3 from what I can tell. But has anybody who's rooted given it a stab?

I'm using the task switcher on it currently as that's the only thing that I liked from it.. I'm not rooted (anymore) by the way

How did you get it to work?
One handed operation
Have this on my note, installed it on my s3 from the Galaxy store, slide out home/back button. Can't bring myself to hit the home button with the stylus.

How did you get it working? It says it's not available for my device/region.
This is how you install good lock on the Tab S3 the good lock app itself will not work so you have to install the bits of it separately they will all be different applications there is 9 of them all together but instructions are in the screenshots below
1 download from site
2 unzip and install all app files within the folder
3 ready to go enter all the Apps and start tweaking your device
4 . Download Nova Launcher from the app store the rest of the instructions are at the bottom of the webpage with the download on
https://www.androidsage.com/2018/06...-install-good-lock-for-samsung-galaxy-phones/
I have tested it all and it works some bits obviously don't apply to the Tab S3 like always on display functions etc but most of it will edit things and work it seems pretty cool but personally it's a bit too clunky at the moment for me as I like using the stock launcher you can switch back to stock after editing the settings but every time you want to change a setting you will have to re make Nova Launcher your default change the setting and then go back to the default home launcher I'm hoping they will release it for the Tab S3 at some point as it seems to work perfectly so hopefully one day soon it will be compatible with this device but if you want to give it a go and check it out the above instructions should do the trick
