Is it possible to port the air and smart gestures/features/etc. on the stock S4 ROMs to custom Roms?
I ask this because they are really the only features I use that are not on the custom roms.

If the Google GS4 has them, probably. If not, most likely no.

I see, well here is hoping, oh also the multi window thing, that would be nice if it was ported as well.
Yes for touchwiz based custom Roms
I think you might be a little confused. There is no need to port any of the features you are talking about to stock ROMs considering these features already exist in stock ROMs.
If you're referring to aosp based ROMs. Probably not. But some might be compatible.

sorry about the late reply. but yes i wanted to know if they could be ported on aosp roms.
the two i really want is the smart stay option which keeps phone from screen off when you are looking at it and the multi-task side bar, i know there is a app for that already but it isn't really the same its nice that it was a system app and always in the backgroud kinda thing, like paranoid's halo.

I mean all the way AOSP? I miss the Roms that were available for my G1...I thought the SenseUI would be awesome to have, but seriously...it actually sucks.
Yeah. There's AOSP 1.6, and DarchDroid is based off of AOSP 2.1. Do a search next time....
an all asop rom is not fully possible yet, theres a few out there but the camera doesnt work and a few other things but thats because they cant fix that until the official 2.1 comes out then we will have our fully aosp, theres darch vanilla, and darch droid, but a few things are missing as i stated above, if you are like me and you want a fully functionable aosp rom just wait until this update comes out then my friend we score, i hate sense, it blows...............ive been waiting for this a long time....dont even bother with the old aosp roms i mean their good but not 100%

Here's the big answer to your question. All AOSP roms ARE possible. They just don't have all the functionality of Sense ROMs. DarchVanilla, or the link in my sig, will get you as close to aosp as you can get without breaking functionality.

And might I add it's all HTCs fault because they won't release the .29 kernel source and their massive amount of modification to it disallows the ability to just port over a .29 kernel as it is... What Android was all about in the first place.

Haha, I have one of those too...but let me tell you, if you flash 2.1 on it, and even THINK about thinking about looking at it to go online or play a game....or make a call, your battery drains.

Guys I dont know if im making sense but i see alot of so called roms in the dev section. Are these Themed roms? or True Roms where touchwiz is trully disabled and still not running in the background?
Hope im making sense!
Reading the OP for each posted ROM will probably answer the question.

Some of them have it removed, while some of them have it as an option. Either way it's incredibly easy to remove it completely from the system. I guess I'm not really sure what your definition of a "true" rom is, all the ones in the dev section take sammy's firmware and make it leagues better. We won't have an AOSP rom until froyo drops.

No, even the ones with Touchwiz apps replaced or deleted are still built off the Touchwiz platform. There is no true AOSP rom right now, and probably won't be until 2.2 drops. Many are working on it, and ready to kick into high gear when 2.2 drops, as well as it's been stated there will be CyanogenMod support for it post-2.2.
ok thanks guys.
The stock rom is the best, more stock based rom please.
Yes I can't say more, It's enough explicit no ? :silly:

If you like stock then why flash a custom ROM? If you don't like the added functionality that custom ROMs bring then there's no point using them. Use stock rooted and be happy, but don't ask (or, by the tone of your post, demand) devs to create ROMs for you which no one else will use.

That's what all custom ROMs are for the N4, since it runs pure Android. I honestly don't understand what you're trying to say.

Because aosp based rom are full of bugs, issues, force close and unstable ? making my n4 lagging without reason where stock doesn't have ?
But I somehow want an enhanced stock rom I don't know why.
Well maybe I could miss pie control which is the only thing that is useful in a n4 custom rom.

Dunno what you're taking about but I've experienced no lag on my N4 with stock or custom ROMs. I haven't come across a ROM which has any serious bugs or stability issues on the N4. Also, PIE is the only useful feature in your opinion. There are so many other useful features available IMO.

That makes no sense. There are no buggy roms on nexus devices. They're stable because nexus are aosp devices.
Don't make stuff up.

Nope, not for me, my nexus 4 is seriously bugged.
I am very tempted by the G6, its design,screen and price are all sweet, though it looks like the custom roms section is nearly dead, why is that?
Is the G6 hard to root?
LG don't open the bootloader to unlock on many models, that's the main issue.

It's 2017. Why are custom ROM's still a thing?
Genuine question. I feel like the standard of the stock firmware these days is good enough to negate the need for a custom ROM, especially if that ROM ruins key features like the camera. Why do people still use custom ROM's?

Customization A-Z of everything on the device vs being able to customize about A-J on the phone and missing out on the rest.

I agree with you to a degree. I almost never use anything but stock based ROMs with the stock kernel.
I mostly root to use Adaway and delete bloatware. That's pretty much the extent of it for me.

Depends on how Custom though... Ie Stock modded > Full Custom.
I have seen many devs use the reverse engineered code of some oem launchers and mixed it with some other apps to give the same effect..
Can we use some code and create a launcher based on the code of S8?

I don't think this can work, touchwiz requires touchwiz framework, aosp based Roms do not use that framework. Whether touchwiz can be reverse engineered, not very likely seeing as no one has even attempted it before even though touchwiz has been around a long time now.

Then why don't someone start? I mean, we could port Sony apps right? Sir, I mean that we can use the blurry effect and many other features on our other devices by using these apps.. I think no one ever attempted before because TouchWiz wasn't worth it. But now...

Apps and framework are 2 completely different things, a framework is the underlying structure, an app us just a single entity, it's fat easier to port an app than to port a framework, and plus people move to aosp to get away from manufacturer specific framework like miui and touchwiz, makes no sense to port it.

I don't think you quite understand the complexities of it all, but you know maybe one day someone will, don't expect it to be any time soon though.
