TouchWiz Launcher Ported to Un-Rooted Nexus One Handsets

If you haven’t seen or found it by now, it is time you know about it. Apparently a hacker over at XDA-Developers has ported the Galaxy S TouchWiz UI to the Nexus One in launcher format. That’s right, you can now install the TouchWiz UI on your N1 using a simple APK file! Having just tried it, I can tell you that it works very well, but users should be warned it is VERY slow.  You will especially notice the speed difference if you are or have been using using ADW Launcher of Launcher Pro.  Hit the source link to download and install! As always, let us know what you think!

    Srdork you are wrong. If you read the forum posting others claimed it works without root,
    And its also worked on a non rooted Droid.

    In all, touchwiz is ugly.. don’t know why would anyone want
    it, especially on a nexus, but again that’s my opinion.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am pretty sure that the phone in the picture is in fact, a rooted phone. It's running both Superuser and CyanogenMod. If you are going to post an article claiming that it's on an unrooted phone, then why would you post a picture of a rooted phone? I'm sorry, but that discredits this site, and the author in my opinion.

    ummmm why would you want to ever do this to a nexus one it just doesn't make sense to me. (no pun intended)

    Having owned a nexus one and now a vibrant, I think it's a great interface when it runs smooth… Screens of apps are much better than the Rolodex, IMO; and there are a lot of other nice touches aside from the launcher. It's too bad they kept the touchwiz name for it considering the travesties that preceded version 3.

    Tried it, it's pretty awful. Slow, and makes the app menu bit look like iPhone – so boring! Have uninstalled and def won't be using this again!

    Previous iPhone users will prob like this on the actual Galaxy S, but Android users will hate it

    Hmm, seeing how all of the reviews I've read of the Galaxy S series said that the only BAD thing about this phone was the TouchWiz UI, I can't see myself going anywhere near this.

    Soiling the good name of the late Nexus One!!! WHY!!!???
