[REQ] Galaxy S Rom

I would like to request devs to port a Galaxy S rom to Nexus S because of the media codec support and the touchwiz interface.
The Touchwiz UI alone is not enough because it misses all the useful additions that Samsung integrated into the ROM.

Buying a galaxy would be the best solution?

Dude it cost me a fortune to buy my mum a "star" god knows how much a galaxy will be!

I know what you mean but I think a galaxy rom would be a big downgrade on nexus....no gingerbread

Porting a galaxy s rom to the nexus s would be extremely hard if not impossible.
As the galaxy s runs android 2.2.
But since its the same hardware there is a possibility.

Who needs all them codecs when u can convert videos with Handbrake that work perfectly on the Nexus S.

I second this... most of you probably never owned a galaxy s phone to even realize what you're missing
But judging by the lack of development here and the fact they moved this to general were most devs to even look
i doubt it will happen
wish Eugene373 had a NS

Nothing is impossible considering its open source
FYI they have 2.3 working on galaxy s phones yea not 100% but still

i 'm only want CM7 rom with MIUI theme )

I would also like to see a port !

the only thing I miss about my vibrant is the camera options and the ability to record in 720p. It was probably the best quality I ever seen for a video camera on a cell phone. Besides that, nexus s, owns

yup loved the touch focus
cant do 720p thanks to hardware limitation blame Google becasue they wanted to implement NFC crap the pretty much replaced the HD chip and Micro SD slot area.
But yea no doubt NS still better phone just wish we could utilize it for what its worth

I'm running CM and I do miss some things. Codecs, HW accelerated browser, touchwiz, swype... But it's not worth the crap that it comes with. RFS lag and flaky lagfixes, bloatware that's hardwired into the framework, interface lag (no JIT, makes a huge difference). Basically it's not a good tradeoff. Once I have voodoo sound and swype back I'll forget Samsung ROMS.

The movies I've converted look good enough. Nothing over 2gb works but think about it......its a phone not a home entertainment system. It works great as a portable device. If I want to watch something in full HD there are better ways than a 4 inch screen.
Maybe when the new Vibrant 4g gets a 2.3 update

Instead of reading previous posts and realizing why it hasn't been ported yet.
But hey, if all of you want it so bad why don't you learn to code for android and port it yourself?

Ice Cream Sandwich

Sooooooo conference is over... I can just image what can be done through development on phones now. Now that the SDK is available, hopfully we will see some ICS this month? Im excited!
What are your favorite features? (If you watched the conference)

Without source code we're basically SOL for a daily driver, but SDK ROMs are cool to check out
Sent from my Droid Incredible Running CM7

The face unlock seems cool but what is your in a dark place like a bar. I hope they have an alternate way to unlocking it in that situation.
The new camera app looks sweet and I love how fast it can snap pictures on the Galaxy Nexus.
Taking out physical buttons was brilliant. Not only does it make the screen bigger but this way you can have what ever buttons you like (fully customizable). Unlike now as I never use the search button on my Dinc.

i Love the idea of the facial recognition, im sure rooted devices could eventually impliment thaf into unlocking apps too.
and when they had the mess up, it looked like it went to the pattern unlock, so i guess thats a back up.
the buttons was also great, much more room for larger screens, but the lack of physical buttons also worries me a bit.
hopefully some nice development will come out of this, so far i think this is the best android version with the most features and ui changes

Can't wait to so CM8/9 to start showing up. Please make it work on the Incredible.(and the RZR too)

Yeah hope we get some ICS roms soon. Since I'm holding out on a Droid 4 or anything with a QWERTY keyboard, that's not that Samsung toy

Here's my question...
The ICS Google Music app was already leaked a couple weeks ago. Will the other updated apps (like Gmail, for example) be made available to Gingerbread users as well (either via apks or official market update)?

Without a front facing camera, facial unlocking doesn't seem practical on our device

I like the new font.

it may not seem practical with our phones, but you could always use the other camera, turn your phone facing you, and hope it recognized you.
the bricked layout is nice, its not as simple as windows phones, but its a great balance between simplicity and advanced customizability.
also i believe some apks in ics will be ported for other android versions too.

Yes, most likely through market updates. Although if your willing to try you could attempt to install the apk from the system dump. I might mess something else up though, and even if it didn't I don't think the gmail widget would work.

I think there were a lot of decent updates but truthfully, my life is run by my calendar and I think that was a great update.. looking forward!

touchwiz ui port?

i found app called rom porter in some thread
and i did manufacturer port with that of s4 stock rom no mods nothing will the port that i made will boot because i'm afraid if that bricked my phone
and dont know anything about porting or someother stuff
but is it safe to flash that rom if something goes wrong what can i do please
i want s4 camera basically all those features of s4 camera so is there any other way i can get that on my aosp rom
and as a base i have used our stock google aosp rom no mod nothing

I guess No. As it requires a different set of framework.
Off-topic: I hope people here don't eat you alive but sadly the most common answer to such threads on xda is: "What a loser, why buy Nexus..Go get a Samsung.. Huh"

s4 camera hardware is completely different than the nexus 4 camera hardware, how do you expect the s4 camera on a nexus 4?? and no, porting the s4 rom onto the n4 isnt as easy as an app, theres much more to it, especially from a completely different phone with completely different drivers/framework/hardware.

thanks for that can you say which other camera app has those kind of features i mean all that effects that sort of ui and feature like when you take a picture and if there is a moving object it remove that i dont know whats the name for that effect

Tough one bro. However you can get feature some what like the Drama shot but this "removing moving object".. I don't think so you can get it on any App.

Does not having IR Blaster make a difference? Think about it. Relly hard. Will you really USE the IR Blaster?
I had same thoughts but once I realized I dont care about IR blaster I gave it up.
Oh and btw you can use a modded version of cm with IR enabled.

Uhh yes! I use the IR blaster to control everything in my home nearly.

TV

It controls it all! The program Peel is fantastic. It's a tv guide & remote control all wrapped into one.
It blows away my Harmony One Universal Remote, hands down!
I use it all the time! It was one of the big selling points when i bought this model.
Show me a link to a modded version of CM with IR functioning. I haven't found anything yet that works with CM.
The people that did CM are using the European model & their models don't have the IR Blaster, therefore it's not functioning.

Thanks! Now lets see if it actually works.
I'm going to guess no since it's going to make my tablet think it's a 3110 instead of the 3113.
If that's the case, it likely won't work.

Man I would love to have HTC's camera app on my GPE M8.

HTC has always tied their camera to their framework. It won't happen.
Honestly, if the camera is important to you, get used to Sense.

What's up with these bounty's ? Some sort of new 2014 trend or something ?

Sense camera is closely integrated with the Sense framework. Porting it to GPE is just not possible until HTC releases the specific drivers to run along with it.

Last night when I saw this thread I was thinking the exact same thing But...it's their money they can probably spend it any which way they choose on the things they feel are important for them :good:

Actually, it is possible. You would need to be rooted & you would need to write an exposed module to hook those app & direct the calls to secondary framework.
This is actually similar to what Amazon/Lab126 is doing with the HDX, minus the Xposed FW of course. They use moddified AOSP framework, but they also use Amazon framework for the Amazon specific applications. That is located in a secondary framework directory /vendor/amazon/framework, where you will find the amazon-res & additional framework-res.
It would be more a hack, going this route, plus it would take quite a lot of work, but it is possible. The tough thing is that you would likely have to write numerous redirects, since the HTC dialer is also heavily integrated into the people, messaging & email apps. It would likely be easier to switch to all those apps, but at that point, you are almost just as well off using the Sense based rom.
Also, unless there is a dev that is really craving this exact feature, $20 or $30 is a tough sell. There is a lot of documentation on Xposed & some good tut's. Have a go at it yourself. Once you get the Xposed module down, the rest would likely be a matter of pulling & testing the apk's & necessary libs.

$100 bounty for someone porting this phone into a flying batman.

If I switch to GPE i lose zoe, burst mode, pretty much everything you can do with this camera. And the organization of my events as well.
Sense is damn near perfect but I really miss the always listening feature for google now. Whats the holdup? Touchwiz can do it why can't sense do it?

Okay, just a little off topic. I am pretty sure you can do this now. Just a matter of Xposed & a module, or one of the open mic apps. The M8 supports hotword & the 801 has the ability to support always listening, but again, different topic for a different thread.

$200.00 to anyone who can turn my phone into a rubber doll version of Jessica Alba.

For what it's worth HTC released the SDK for the cameras, maybe something could be done. If they want 3rd party development with other apps, why not Roms?

I think $20 or $30 isn't worth the dev's time because if he could, he would get *enter the amount here* of dollars from putting it up the Play Store.
But yeah, Sense Camera is the only thing keeps me with Sense ROMs.
