Never though I'd say this..

..but shortly after I flashed CM9 stable, I kinda started to miss touchwiz a lot, so I had to nandroid back to it.
And I am the one who hates touchwiz.. (although, I use Nova as my launcher)

Never thought you would post this
By the way it happens always, aosp Rom doesn't suit all unless they are ready to compromise some features

Never thought I'd see a thread created on this.

I actually like Touchwiz on this phone, seriously. All previous versions annoyed me, but it is smooth and flows well on this phone.

Touchwiz is good and nice, but i think if the backgrounds were white (in the contacts and call log at least) it will be nicer

Can understand you very well.
Have been an aosp freak before (or I'm still, but not at this device), but I'm pretty pleased with touchwiz now. Some ctl and build.prop tweaks and all works fine so far.
Also touchwiz has at the current stage already some small, but useful features build in like the battery percent or the pinch to overview at the appdrawer. Not to forget about the missing mhl support at cm10 which is a dealbreaker for me.
Additional I must confess that I don't like the attitude of team hacksung, even while their work is still much appreciated and they are for sure great developers, it seems to me they aren't doing it anymore because they like to do it, more because they think they have to. For sure it's annoying when noobs clutter the development thread with ridiculous posts, but that you have to expect at a device like the gs3 and the argument that they are doing it for free, yes, it sure makes their work more valuable, but at the same time, they knew it when they started.
My opinion is they or at least every member of their team on his own should focus on one device, maybe that way it would be less load for each developer and at the same time more benefits for the community.
Sry that I cluttered your thread, this I wanted to get of from me sometime ago.

Coming from a galaxy s phone, I remember wanting touch wiz back. The problem with touch wiz as opposed to HTC sense, is you can't retain the framework with a custom Rom. I feel there is more to gain from having a custom Rom than having full blown touch wiz. Look around though, you can probably find a .zip of the launcher here, so you can run a very close emulation of touch wiz on the Rom if your choice. I had a Rom on my captivate called "remics" which had galaxy s3 stock theming throughout the operating system. Just look around, you'll find what you want here on xda

Samsung has come good features but they load it up with crap and its to much. Problem is it seems like an all or nothing situation

Same happenend to me I love touchwiz I flash back. Will go aosp when aokp is back on track .

It's the hidden stuff I love in the new touchwiz, like the native mkv and other formats, stay awake, camera app, t9 dialler, swipe to message/call, reject a call with a message..... and loads more really well thought out features. Touchwiz isn't just the launcher. I use apex and have it looking how I want (stockish), yet retain all the samsung stuff. Why anyone would complain about touchwiz on the S3 is beyond me.

There are some good dialler apps and message apps that have white backgrounds (or customisable) with the t9 dialling aswell. I can't remember the names, but you should have a look if you're interested.

The simple fact that I could not create folders in my app drawer made me flash back

I am running Holo HD but I like touchwiz. Especially the icons, they did an amazing job on the icons. they look so nice now and not preschool like before. So I decided to keep using the touchwiz icons for holo.

Yeah, the thing I love with touchwiz is the message app (stock android'd message app is dead boring), the camera app and a bunch of other stuff.
What kinda is a dealbreaker for me which I can't really decide about is exFAT support. Dumbing down my 64gb microSDXC card kinda feels like a stupid thing to do. exFAT is much faster and allows big chunks to be handled at once (like 16 exabyte chucks instead of 4GB ones)
The whole idea with their Nature UX kinda appeals to me. Soothing alarm and ring tones and beautiful wallpapers. Much better than previous touchwiz's.

i like TouchWiz , tried it on both S2 and S3, i also tried CM9/CM10 on both
I hate the TouchWiz launcher, changing the launcher to something like nova solved my problems.

lol because of this I just reverted back to touchwiz from ADW.

[Q] S4 port *read first*

Not looking for a port of whole thing. I am on SR15 and love it but would like to use the new touchwiz and weather widget, S-voice (doesnt work right) and maybe mms and contacts is there anyway to do it. I pulled the .APKs and added them to system fixed permissions, rebooted to recovery and wiped cache and dalvik for good measure. Rebooted but nothing happened. If anyone can help that would be great. I have all the files if anyone is interested. Thanks for the read.
P.S I did see a thread but was not in proper section so I figured I would ask in the right spot lol

You need to also port the touchwiz framework

Couldn't have said that better myself.

My gag reflex kept me from reading through the entire OP. Just throw your device into the sewer, it's easier than getting touchwiz on it, and with the same result...

TW apps on Google Edition ROM's.

Hi, can we have a place so we know which TW apps work with Google Edition ROM's? If anyone knows any please post.

Why would you even want to use TW apps on stock android? If you want Touchwiz experience, go back to stock.

You right, but its good to know which apps work. We might want to mix things up.
If the Google Edition ROMs have TW framework then why not to try. I read somewhere that the camera app works but I don't know where to find the link to the apk.

Looking for a "Best of both worlds" ROM.

I eventually got round to rooting my i9505 the other day and now I'm looking for an AOSP ROM that has the Samsung camera, video player and other useful apps. Has anyone seen anything among the numerous options available that offers this?

So at very best, a GE ROM or even CM10.1 with the Galaxy camera APK that I've seen mentioned would be a good start!?!?

I will leve that. To many good features are does not exist on custom Roms that are already available in the ugly and not usable touchwiz interface

It's not merely an apk that you can just sideload; it's baked into the TW framework. As such, you're only going to see s-view on TW based Roms.

No. GE 4.3 is just a stripped down TW. It still has TW frameworks.

Hi guys ! It looks like system (CM10.2) know and works when you use cover with mag nit (smart cover) but is there an option to enable S-View (case with frontal opening for caller ID and stuff) I mean this app works but I am just saying why this feature is not included in CM or is it ?
