Samsung Open Sources Captivate (SGH-i897) Code | AndroidGuys

"ROM developers will have an easier time creating custom ROMs for the device. "

"This move by Samsung basically puts Touchwiz 3.0 out in the open source world. Giving developers the ability to pick apart the features of Touchwiz that users enjoy, and implement them in their own projects. For example the Touchwiz lockscreen with Music controls and the Contact list swipe left and right to Text or call a contact could be seen in market apps for other devices. All in all this is good for the open source community, and will hopefully speed along the open sourcing of other Galaxy S models."

I'm extremely surprised Samsung did this but I couldnt be happier. Now not only is my main operating system open source, the UI overlay is as well. Good day for coders.

Does touchwiz 3 support saving of themes like Sense UI? If not- that's the 1st thing I'd like to see created from the community- with the NEXT thing being able to SHARE home screen setups/layouts!
