I reallllllly hate Touchwiz. Back from the days of the Mesmerize on good ol' US Cellular I always have. But the S4 has some cool features, specifically smart stay, air gestures, and the likes. It also has a lot of battery killing BS that I don't need.
Just wondering if it will be possible for developers of AOSP ROMs like AOKP and CM to have the pure google experience with some of the S4 specific features integrated.
I remember on the Epic 4G Touch getting S-Voice from the S3 and it was sketchy and didn't work great. So I'm kind of doubtful, but curious nonetheless.

Hopefully when the Google galaxy s4 is released it will be pure aosp with the added gs4 features.
As with other TW based features the only way we'll see them for AOSP is if Samsung decides to release them ready-to-go on an AOSP build. Based on their history I wouldn't bet on it happening. Look for alternate apps where possible in App Store.
I thought the aosp s4 version that is to be released is probably not going to have all the cool features as our phones just pure stock which probably means none of the air gestures and such which come intergrated with touchjizz.
Why not just root and remove the junk you don't use. Given they aren't tied together somehow.

Already rooted and removed bloatware, but I still dislike Touchwiz. It's colors, fluidity, etc... are just wrong wrong wrong. I want my AOKP back, even CM would be fine. Just dislike Touchwiz so much!

you think samsung will release the needed materials to get that working?
or do you think the google version will have open source that we can port it to get it working?

It would be nice, but it won't happen. Google has already said that it will be a Nexus experience device. No Touchwiz features, I'm afraid.

we'll see. especially with jelly bean 4.3 being launched with it, I think they might take advantage of the s4s features
Most S4 features are just that features. Why buy an S4 if those cool features are AOSP (Open Source). HTC can just put it in a future update. We are at a point where going pure android really takes away from a device. Some features aren't worth losing.

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.

I believe that Samsung apps could eventually be used if someone was able to fork the framework somehow. Im not saying its an easy thing but it sure its possible.

I believe Protekk from AOKP is getting the S3 on T-Mobile. I follow him on twitter and know he was tweeting up tmo for the launch fail and was selling lots of devices prior to the launch. Sounded like he was waiting to get one on or around the 27th.

yeah. i just want vanilla ice cream sandwich. that's it. and STILL retain Wi-Fi Calling capabilities. don't care for touchwiz. thanks for giving us great hardware, Sammy. but howza bout you just let google handle the software. no need to try and improve it.
and i also want these phones with frickin' laser beams attached.
Id be fine with touchwiz stripped of all bloatware, leaving sammy tweaks (smartstay etc.) and wifi calling, but give us the CM7/tmo theme engine, touchwiz is fugly. The single most important thing I want, and its a safety thing because I drive for work, volume rocker track skip.
Who wants to beta test for a new ROM that I'm building? Leave a comment down below if you want to.
You would help yourself and the rest of us with providing some infos about it will it be cm10 based, vanilla based or even aokp? Anything complete different? Just tell

I'm not sure about what the base will be but the ROM will be themed to look like Touchwiz Nature UX. My dev partner Tmogalaxys2 has a ROM called Galaxy SBean in the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 section that is themed to look like Twiz Nature UX. It is one of the most popular JB ROMs for the phone.
I'd be interested

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?
Does this mean we can FINALLY have a fully functioning 100% working AOSP MMS app?!? Can I just DL the leaked ROM (here) and pull the MMS.apk and get it working? I'm about to try now also, does this mean that AOSP ROMs will be basically 100% stable? Also, since this Google Edition GS4 has all he bells and whistles (Air View, Air Gesture, etc.) does that mean future AOSP ROMs will have the TouchWiz goodies as well?
