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

I'm not planning on starting it that soon anyways. I'm going to wait for some more ROMs to come out.

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!

I am being generous responding to this thread...(bored)
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

Popup play

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?

Will New Features ever be on AOSP ROMs?

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!

would be nice to have a working ir blaster for cm builds..
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.

[Q] What does the Google Edition S4 and leaked JB 4.3 mean to us?

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?

AFAIK, the Google Edition GS4 does not have the Air <whatever> features. It is Stock Android. No Samsung apps/features

It's definitely looking in a good direction, The IR is working on the Google edition from what I have tested using WatchON. I would be interested to see if we could get some of the S-apps over and working, I just don't like how many soft dependencies they have on each other.

Isn't it using the TouchWiz framework though??

Whats the differences between the i9505 snd i9505G

Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

i9505 - Touchwiz version, wide international release.
i9505G - Stock Google firmware thus "Nexus" experience though it still has Touchwiz frameworks. Also called Google Play Edition only released via US playstore. Updates with this device are fast, just a week behind the official Google Nexus updates

according to some developers here samsung put the touchwiz framework into the i9505G since it is required to run most of their apps. And unlike an actual Nexus phone the updates go from Google to Samsung and then get pushed OTA it shouldn't make a difference in the long run but that is what is causing the delay currently.

I actully like the touch wiz and thats why I bought the S4 .
if i wanted pure android i'll just buy Google Nexus 4.

I have a nexus 4 and prefer touchwiz on my s4. I usually change my mind every few months though!
