Nexus 4 Galaxy S4 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there I have a Nexus 4 , but before I had a Samsung Galaxy S3 , I kinda miss the Touchwizz features and apps
So I wanted to ask if is there any dev who want to try port Touchwiz Framework to Nexus 4!
This way we could have almost a Galaxy S4 with less resolution !

Your asking in vain here.

I've done two Samsung cross ports. Not doing it again. I'm retired

this has been asked close to a million times. Simple answer is YES. YOU CAN DO IT BUT NO. NO ONE WOULD DO IT BECAUSE IT'S EXTREMELY HARD.

Someone likes Touchwiz? Blimey there is a sentence i never thought i would hear!

First why would you even want TouchWiz? I mean... nothing beats the slick look of a clean nexus
But I've read a topic about this I think, is this what you're looking for? Do note that you need CM for this to work

Nope, he wants the app and the framework and everything else. Not just the theme.

Then sorry to say but it's just a cheapass who buys a Nexus in the hope to get the same thing as a device nearly double in price...
And then still, TouchWiz, rly :/ Personally I'd go for the theme cause... you can delete a theme

Also there are rumors a Samsung s4 google edition will come. That's the s4 shipped with stock Android .

Not likely possible as if someone wants stock android, they'll flash a custom ROM. (A custom ROM close to stock android).

Let's not talk about rumors anymore. Today is the I/O so let's wait what Google is going to tell us later today.

TouchWiz port?

Would it be possible to port TouchWiz to the Neuxs S? Since the galaxy line and the Nexus S have similar hardware.

Good God, why?
There are some features I like in TouchWiz and I was going to get a Epic 4G before this was announced so I just want to toy with the firmware.

You got that right!!
WTF, get a Vibrant if you want crapwiz!
I just looove TouchWiz.
I particularly love the feeling of blissful relief when you dump it and use another launcher.
I hate Touchwiz as much as the next guy, but I can still be civilized and answer a question.
Most likely you can get Touchwiz for the Nexus S, perhaps you need to wait until the Galaxy S phones get Ginger or so, but it should be possible.

Be more specific as to what these "features" are that you want to have from touch wiz.
i hate touchwiz and the sgs. why is samsung making such amazing hardware feeling so slow by letting some monkeys make software! i sold my sgs and hope to see the nexus s in my handys soon.
Agreed.I'm sure this port will be easy. But touchwiz is awful. I just hope they didn't cripple it with RFS. that would be my main question. If it does have RFS ITS likely as horrible as the rest of the galaxy phones. Trust me, I have a captivate and fascinate. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the hardware just hate the software

TouchWiz has already been ported, you can find the apk and the music apk in the desire forum. They were made by ephumuris. They should work on the Nexus S

[REQ] PARANOIDANDROID Port?

This ROM is very unique and practically one of a kind, my question is: is anyone (or even the creator himself) willing to port this over to the crespo and crespo4g? I realize how much of a screen size difference between the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S/4G is, and I know that it won't be completely the same, but isn't it worth a try? The tablet mode mod is cool and all but everything is so small and practically unreliable. Hybrid mode, however, is completely different.

I'd be willing to donate once this is ported!
I'd agree. This would be pretty epic.
Yes this would be something refreshing.

I thought this would have been asked already. It definitely looks nice. I am pretty sure the original dev will help with info as long as proper credit is given
love this rom
i am more than willing to donate a cool amount of cash to see this as a working rom .
Is it more different than tablet UI than? Looks the same?

Maybe I should have been more specific. I don't mean the ROM. I meant some of the features from the new touchwiz. Like the one where the screen won't turn off if you are looking at it.

I was able to install s-voice. Im running AOKP build 36. Its works some times. Sometimes it FC, also another thing that happens is the audio being outputted through the earpiece instead of the back speaker.

So how come we don't at least take touchwiz 4.0 off the blaze? it's got pretty much the same hardware. I'm all for ICS, but would really like a update to Touchwiz.

We are already on TW4.0. And I think it has other hardware differences too, but not sure. The Galaxy S3 is on TW5

I have a Note and almost all those have been ported/pulled. Take a trip to the i717 forums and see if the pulled .APKs work.
The galaxy s1 had Ports that were crazy coming from the vibrant I know with experience. I guess its difficult with so few devs or I don't know. The vibrant was truly a sublime experience. Too bad that carrier phones don't get good specs or source codes or updates for that matter or this phone would be as fun as the nexus or the international s2. But hey we get burned by the American market every time. If we could get universal technology it would be a bigger market all together.

Multiview from Galaxy NOTE 2 in Nexus 7?

Hi!
I am talking about the amazing true multitasking available in the NOTE 2
I googled a bit and I only found a version for the S3 and the S2
Any tip for install it in my Nexus 7?
thanks!
You could always ask one of the people who ported it to the S3 or S2.
I think that'll be your best option, to be honest.

I mean, it'd be an amazing feature for every tablet!

The Note is on the Touchwiz framework...the app would basically have to be rewritten from the ground up. OR someone would have to build a Rom on Touchwiz framework.
Short answer is nobody is going to do this...Not going to happen.

I've seen a custom rom using touchwiz I'm not sure if it would be possible to use that and then use a port for multiview from the note 2
there is an app called multiscreen, i havent looked how it works on the s3 but it looks a cool app, been tempted to get it.

this is exactly right. Its very much encoded into the touchwiz framework. So much so that there's a port of the entire gnote2 Rom ported to the att galaxy s3 but the multiview is still inop

The US variants of the S3 still don't have it. I would assume a non touchwiz device wouldn't be getting it before the us variants do. Maybe the guys who ported TW to n7 could do it?

Correct. It IS heavy, file size-wise and ram-wise, but Touchwiz UX Nature flies. My S3, at least at the homescreen, flies compared to AOSP. It's just smooth. Sadly it's ram-heavy so you'll much easier get a slow phone. My S3 nor N10 have never been slow with AOSP.
Would be much cooler if someone ported a Galaxy Note 10.1 rom. :victory: I remember porting the tab 10 rom to TF101. Fun times.

I agree. I got a galaxy tab 2 7 inch for my cousin and I actually like the launches look and transitions though I prefer the aosp settings do handling a touchwiz launcher would be great. Zerosuit made a miui5 launcher compatible with nexus 10 so maybe when he gets better he can make a touchwiz one.
