Are you the one desperately waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S II launcher, TouchWiz 4.0, to be ported to your Galaxy S. Yes? Well here it’s fella, an xda developer has successfully ported the TouchWiz 4.0 launcher to the leaked Android 2.3.3 running Galaxy S phones.

Installation is simple, just download the TW4_JVB_deodex.zip file from the link below, transfer it to your internal SD Card, and then flash through ClockworkMod Recovery.

NOTE: You must be on a Deodexed 2.3.3 ROM to be able to use it.

      Cool. Glad you like the S2’s launcher. BTW, credit goes to Samsung for
      making this launcher and to developer for porting it out for Galaxy S 1. Our
      work was to write a how-to guide so that normal users can do the MOD which
      they otherwise would not be able to. Thanks for the appreciation!
