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.

The multi window ui is Dependant on the touch wiz framework. Its not impossible. But who knows, maybe someone will take it on eventually

I know there are video players out there that have picture overlay so you can watch a video while doing other things.

Google needs to put it in aosp as soon as possible. I wish they didn't kill off cornerstone as that was originally going to be part of cm but google told them to cease and desist.
Google would have to develop that from scratch, because that's Samsung-proprietary code.
Also, I hope that Google does NOT clutter up Android with stuff like this, for this we have ROMs like PA (which is already stuffed full of features that it barely works as a daily driver).

Paranoid android was great when it was based on cm. Its in 4.2 when they tried to go aosp and make their own tweaks that it became a mess. They need to go back to cm or switch to AOKP(uses CMs main code).
It wouldn't be that difficult to implement multi window. The cornerstone code would be a good starting point and android apps already scale to different resolutions without an issue.

You need to refer to the other annoying threads asking the same thing. You want multi window, get a note 2.

samsung camera

I hate touchwiz... so rooted and flashed a new rom, but i want the samsung camera? is this possible is there an APK? please and thank you
If you flashed an aosp ROM you'll never get the Samsung camera working. You should really search cause this had been talked about so many times it'll make your head spin!

as mention on the first reply, the samsung camera will not work on any AOSP launcher and etc.
the Sasmung Camera apk needs the TWLauncher in order for it to work.

woops xD haha sorry. i just woke up and i'm not myself now...

Maybe instead of flashing aosp rom. Could you not keep tw rom. Install a launcher with aosp theme. This way you get aosp look and feel while still keeping the stock camera mate.
Just a thought

If you hate touchwiz you should not buy a samsung galaxy s4??

I remember when people used to ask about the HTC apps being able to be transferred to AOSP yes it's possible in theory but no one will do it because of the ever changing updates and such and also the fact it's a lot of framework to change, however if it was done it would be seriously good, also i'm sure Samsung probably would say something along the lines of a lawsuit if we did manage to port it all over.

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?
Cheers.

not gonna happen... best you'll manage is a touchwiz rom with JB domination theme...

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!?!?
Sent via telepathy
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

And that's the only thing putting me off taking the plunge at the moment. I think I'll just start with getting some bloatware off there as it is and see how that goes.

GT- I9505 running 4.3 no "move to SD Card"

Hi guys I recently flashed to JanJans GE 4.3 ROM, everything works beautifully except I have no "Move to SD Card" button in my AppManager now.
I don't think this is an issue with the ROM itself, so just curious if anyone has any ideas?
Sent from my GT-I9505G using Tapatalk 4
That's a Samsung specific feature. As you're not using a TouchWiz based rom, it follows that you will be lacking certain features.

Google dropped support for it, so it's no longer a core Android feature. Samsung implemented their own version of it in a recent formate update, but it's gimped in that it moves only the apk and leaves the app's data on the internal memory

Fitbit sync on aosp roms?

I was just wondering if I need a touchwiz based ROM in order to sync with my fitbit. It says the gs4 is compatible but it won't sync with my aokp rom. I'm guessing because of the bluetooth differences?

It requires bluetooth 4.0 low energy which the gs4 has. Apparently the stack that Samsung uses in touchwiz works. I don't see why googles wouldn't.

Crap so you need touchwiz. So lame.

Super lame. I guess your options are using one of the Stock-based roms or maybe just use Nova launcher over stock to get the aosp look you're going for.

true.
I was on task's aokp which i loved. i then switched to ib4's GE 4.3 which i am using now, and it is amazing. i dont really want to go back to TW but it is a first world problem i suppose.

They just updated the app for google edition 4.3
I just got a fitbit and I love LIQUIDSMOOTH.
I will be Syncing on my PC and tablet till they get all of 4.3 figured out. Haven't been impressed with the development of Google edition ROMS.

Hey, so I found this reddit thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1ol2g8/fyi_using_a_modified_fitbit_apk_you_can_now/
They link to this xda thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46041881&postcount=26
It is basically a modified fitbit apk that makes it work on more devices. If someone with a fitbit who is currently running a ROM like CM or AOKP could try it out and see if it works that would be awesome.
