SGS notification bar controls on Nexus S?

I am/was a Galaxy S user. Loved TW Launcher and the several controls being integrated in to thee notification drop down. How can I get the latter on my new Nexus S?
I recently downloaded a big zip with a bunch of SGS apks longer the tW launcher.. Might the drop down controls be in there?

Go to the theme section and there is a mod to add them. Must be on GRJ22 and deodexed.

Or, go back to SGS. Its a much better phone than Nexus S. Soon you would miss other things about it as well.
I took the same journey assuming Nexus S to be better and feel for AOSP experience, but was glad to be back on SGS. New JVP ROM (2.3.4) has totally transformed the experience on SGS.

99% of people that have owned both phones would probably disagree with you. Yea, galaxy s has nice features. Doesn't touch the nexus s though. Sorry

AGREED 100% this is coming from a guy who started off with motorola milestone>SGS>HTC desire Z> now the SNS. and i can say without a doubt the SNS is the best, even without a qwerty keyboard. I love the roms out there and pure google experience just gotta get used to touch screen but the gingerbread keyboard made that one a piece of cake!

I should have mentioned I9000. Not the one you get in US with keyboard. In what respects do you reckon NS is better?

Every. I prefer stock android over TW or Sense or Blur. We have i9000 equivalents here in the states as well. The vibrant is nearly the same device. We actually have 5 or 6, maybe a few more variants of GS phones here.

Keyboard is epic 4g. I used a vibrant and definitely prefer ns. I personally needed cm7 and jumped ships. Didn't like team whiskeys work. People gave them more credit for no reason.

Other ROMs have it too. But a portion of them are built off CM7.

Any chance that some if this could be ported to our phone? For example the siri clone or the floating video player or whatever it is that keeps the screen on when you are looking at it

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.

This, yes that is alot easier and more along the lines I would actually bother to download 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.

Any chance of getting the no shutter lag ported over from the 3 to us?

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 wonder why it still isn't done yet.
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

I use stick it player for pop up play like the s3

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?

Gingerbread on the Nex4

Hey all,
I was just wondering: how would Gingerbread be on a Nexus 4? Comparing GB and JB on my old phone I think battery life would certainly gain a boost, just like how fluent everything is. Then again I like the JB UI way better, JB has more functions and more apps will be incompatible using GB.

Don't even think it's possible to port, and if you did miracle it onto your phone it would run like ass (necessitating yet another miracle).

That is impossible unless you're willing to build it and or make sure all drivers work as well and or reverse engineer the drivers to work on GB.
Plus why would you want GB? because of battery? Hell no, JB is much efficient and Android has matured enough.

Why will it never be done? Two words. "Project Butter"

So you can go back to laggy scrolling, laggy web browsing, laggy homescreens, high audio latency, and just about laggy everything else?

I think you ate a bit too many "special" gingerbread cookies...

Well, gingerbread isn't ideal to be honest.
However, a port of ICS or JB (4.1) can most likely boost the performance and battery life.
On the nexus 7, 4.1 ran better than 4.2 did. Performance and battery wise.

there's nothing wrong with the thought, I wondered too but you would have to reverse everything for it and its not worth it, but battery life is better on JB due to optimization, GB was single core days,also many apps may not be supported,

Nexus 4 Galaxy S4

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.

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

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

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