someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe "S" Apps need TW to function.

There are many alternatives for S health in the Play Store. Since the Google S4 is coming out soon hopefully we'll get drivers for the IR blaster.

Any S-apps or features will not work on cm/aokp. These need tw-framework to run. And honestly I've ran cm/aokp roms on all my phones since the day I got my first android. This is the first Android phone that I'm actually content with using touchjizz and all of it's features. Really an amazing phone once rooted.

what have you done since rooting to make it moar amazing? I haven't really done much yet.

Just push them to /system/apps/ and find out. Won't hurt anything. Some TW system apps used to work in CM on the skyrocket.

S apps require the touchwiz frame work to function at least most of them do.

that I can't say for sure because I'm on AT&T but you could try something like SmartRemote, and just return it for a refund if it doesn't work

Remove Bloatware from Nexus 4

Hi everyone
i know nexus 4 comes with stock rom from google, but there must be things that you recommend removing to keep the beast going at 100% pace.
also, i am a privacy geek and would love to know which of apps i should disable to give as least as possible to google?
at one point i remember a rom that was the stock android but it had all of google's collections bots/apps disabled. Cant seem to think of it
cheers

If you want to receive OTA updates then you have to keep all the apps but you can disable them.
I've disabled Google movies and magazines.
If you really want to avoid Google you should install cyanogen mod without the gapps. You won't require a gmail account to use your phone but that means you have to use alternative market places.
There are open source apps for almost everything but I've never used them so can't say. I know there is a open source maps app though but probably doesn't come close to Google apps.

It depends on how you define bloatware. Some see it as being anything preinstalled on the device that isn't absolutely necessary, which means that most of the GApps that come on the N4 are bloatware. Personally I disagree with that definition of bloatware but you can see why people may think that way.

You could just install something like cm10.1 with no gapps.

IR Blaster working?

I have tried 2 different IR Blaster apps to control my TV with and both don't seem to work. I have the AT&T version of the S4 with Cyanogenmod 10.1 on it and I dont know if the IR Blaster is just not functional right now or it is working but the apps dont work. How can I test this?

There are 2 possible options. It will be available by some kind of modified framework that will allow the drivers to be installed or...(and this is the most probable answer) some dev will cook up his own drivers.

[Q] ROMs that don't disable IR Blaster?

I'm just curious if there are any ROMs that a person could flash to their S4 SGH-i337 without losing access to the IR Blaster? I am currently running CM 10.1 and I love it, but I would really like to still be able to use apps like WatchON or Smart Remote without having to go back to the bloated and bogged down stock AT&T firmware.
Looking around I haven't really been able to find much about it. From what I understand is that it either won't ever happen or it might happen on 4.3 when they devs have more time to crack it... I haven't seen anything about any working with a custom ROM currently.
So, I was just wondering if anyone knows of any ROMs that still have access to the IR Blaster?
Any with touchwiz should be fine as long as you download samsung crappack. Correct me if i am wrong. But AFAIK its just aosp/aokp/cm that doesnt suplort due to the nature of requiring touchwiz framework.
Your right aosp tons will not get the functions of the extra sensors like the IR

Unless Samsung for some reason loves us and gives us the drivers. But that is never going to happen.

Also, most of the touchwiz roms have removed the bloatware, att seems to be the only one that bogged down my phone really bad as I have the samsung crappack on it and it runs great. I am running MDOB with no issues. Night and day difference without the ATT bloat.
Hope I'm not breaking any rules I'm on mint v1 and all the Samsung stuff is thier without att stuff, and it's highly customizable. I'm sure thier are others but thats what I've used

Yeah I don't either as the GE version has the disabled. As the drivers are propriety and closed sourced I don't see much of a chance outside of the next nexus having got the sensors

YOu have to understand Samsungs end game which is Tizen. Their closed sourced OS. The give you the S4 and then the GE edition. They get you hooked on the gimmics they give you which means you will be more inclined to buy their Tizen devices. Also it is cheaper just to disable the sensors they remake the whole phone which is what would be needed.

[Q] Root after update?

I updated my Galaxy s5 AT&T before o knew that it would compromise rooting it. Will there be a root available for the updated version anytime so? If not, is there anyway to revert back to the old version?
This has been answered hundreds of times. No you can currently root and there is no way to go back. Only time will tell when a root method will be found

To the OP, please search the forum next time. 10 times a day users come in here and ask the same question. Some search and post in existing threads while most just begin a new thread without doing any kind of research.

Unfortunately things like Samsung's air gestures, air view and really anything else that is exclusive to android on the s4 is owned and copyrighted (hopefully that's the right word) to Samsung. So it wouldn't be right, morally or legally, to use those in a custom rom. Perhaps in the future some of these features may be recreated. For example I know Task650's rom has stated he has the infrared blaster working, but I haven't confirmed myself due to using a rom other than aokp.

Is not so much copyright rules as it is custom code. The proprietary features from Samsung are not open source and not part of Android. In order for them to be included in another non-Samsung rom somebody would have to get source for these features.

AOSP Theming on Rooted Stock Rom

This may be a stupid question, but is there any way to Theme Touchwhiz to match an AOSP look without having an De-odexed ROM? I have XPosed installed. I have Nova, but I would like the rest.

You can do it without the note 3, this sounds like charity to me. Hashcode and many other devs do this because it's a passion. The only reason the note was donated to him was because the community got together so he can develope ss for our note 3 and to clean it up when Verizon changes the selinux to enforcing. If this sounds rude call me out, but I think this is toxic to development.

People ask me to build Eclipse for the device. It is impossible to do it without the device. You obviously have no clue what all goes into building a rom the way I do.
Let me be clear about this, I did not ask for this device nor did I have any intentions of getting this device. People enjoy the work the work I do on other devices and wanted the same experience on their Note 3.
