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.

Clone Camera Clone Camera. It's the best cloning App out there. And I have used MANY. Almost all available on app store. See in the attached SC.
Not a full port, but most touchwiz ui elements have been brought over. Check it out here: http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/03/twnexusui-rom-for-nexus-4-touchwiz-look.html?m=1

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

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?

Is it possible to port TW5 to the Nexus4 ?

Yes its been confirmed it is.
I already saw there is a request for sense. No motoblur love yet?
A touchwiz rom for a LG phone?
But no seriously, touchwiz as well as HTC sense, lg ui, motoblur are all closed source and very difficult to port. On Galaxy Nexus, there was a skin pack of Touchwiz on top of stock Android.
For people bashing op, android is all about options. If a developer wants to devote his time into porting it then so be it. Nothing is stopping him. If android was one way if thinking then we wouldn't be any different than the you know community.
Realistically, getting a stable touchwiz rom isn't worth it and it won't happen most likely. If you like touchwiz then get a galaxy s3 or a note 2

The launcher and some of the framework was ported to the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 by a developer called madphone, he even made a ROM that was fully themed.
He's also ported LG launcher and framework to the Galaxy Nexus.
Evilisto has ported the LG lock screen to the Galaxy Nexus too.
Yes OP it's possible and you're not wrong for asking, it's your phone so run what you like on it and never mind everyone else.
Best bet to see TW5 on the Nexus 4 is to contact madphone and see if he's interested in porting it, maybe he can tell you if the mods he's got out will work right off the bat on the Nexus 4.
Do a search for him and you'll find his threads. Or Google TW5 for Galaxy Nexus, a few months back a few big Android sites wrote an article about his work.

All I want is that I can organize my homescreen by pinching it with two fingers and removing that circle in the middle to open the menu, I´d also like to have folders in my menu.
Thats all. I dont want to use third party apps, I had goLauncher on my GalaxyS+ but I had problems so I want it to be fully implemented into my OS/ROM.
Maybe I´ve missunderstood what touchwiz is,

Touchwiz is the framework for all Samsung devices. It is the skin that they used. Some prime elements of Touchwiz is the notification bar, icon skins being in squares, home screen of square icons, memo, smart stay, etc.

Ok thank you for explaining me, I think I´ll get used to ICS, but it looks so 'sad' because its so dark and bluish. Maybe I´ll find some nice mods in the Themes Section soon.

It's what stock Android looks like. It's called Holo. I actually like it a lot and prefer it over TouchWiz launcher.
you can google for 'touchwiz launcher galaxy nexus port' and try installing the APK and see if it works (dont flash any zips though, at least i wouldnt try it)

Hi,
First of all... there are here loads of threads with subject "s4 vs one'' and similar, so is no need of another one.
HTC One has problems and bugs also, you can check their threads and you will see. Now its really up to you what you want/need. If you don't care so much for those loudspeakers i don't see any other reason in choosing the One.
I would choose any s4 over the One, because of the non removable battery, no microsd slot and that 4 UltraPixel camera, which i think is a joke.
S4 with the new updates fixed most of the bugs, and will continue to get fixed with every update.
This is my personal opinion.
You are best off comparing the S4 and the ONE in a shop and then make your mind up, nobody can tell you what is best for YOU!
EDIT : One biggie, it take`s 4hr+ to fully charge the HTC One and only 1hr30m to charge the S4
Have a look at the HTC One forum and see what the problems are.

If you charge a li-ion battery too fast you can make it heat up and reduce it`s life, it is virtually impossible to replace the HTC One`s battery, apart from returning it to HTC, this must be the reason for the super slow charge rate.
Still i love my HTC One, i wish i had an S4 as well, but i dont have the money

Personally i like the S4's TW. So i don't really customize it too much.
On the other hand, there are mods for i9500 and there will always be, thats not a problem.
There aren't too many custom ROMS, and will be more difficult to get a stock Android ROM running properly on the 9500 because Samsung doesn't release the documentation for Exynos.
I'm thinkin that is no really need for custom ROMS... if you want, you can customize it yourself, you root it, you remove Samsung's bloatware, you change the launcher, you add mods and tweaks to your own stock ROM.. so that's what i think.
Like someone else said here, you can go to a shop and play with both phones.
Have a look on youtube, lots of video comparing the Samsung S4 and HTC One

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I've used both and really it all depends if you like an AMAZING camera and a ton of features (SGS4) VS a ok camera (besides low light) and not to many features but Ultra smooth UI with no lag whatsoever (HTC One). If you use the internal speakers a lot GET the HTC One. Those dual stereo speakers are just pure amazingness. If you want battery life go with the S4. And yes the HTC One takes long to charge. There are some bugs with the S4 though. People say it never lags but in all honesty, the S4 compared to the HTC One is very laggy. The HTC One has iPhone smoothness compared to the S4. All in all they are both amazing phones, and if I could I would have both i would. I stuck with the S4 mainly for the camera and the better battery life. But since you have the Exynos version I'm not sure how good the batter is.

Hey Peeps! What up ? I Am going to PORT Touchwiz to Moto G, Well atleast i am going to try. I am going to start working as soon as Samsung starts rolling KitKat Update.Once it got booted i will create a thread in Android Development.
The reason for creating this post is to aware people about my work & Of course to grab some attention.
Why Touchwiz ?
Well, There are already some Manufacturers PORTs being Develop.So, I ended up this.
I might some help in Future ? With Tests,Logcats,Kernels,Boot,Etc......Are you up ?
Let's see how many people supports me..
Thank You!!

Just a quick design/typographic suggestion for you, friend: this post is not readable when someone is using the XDA Premium app with dark background settings. Your black font color does not contrast well with the app's background.
In order to reach a wider audience, you might want to remove the color-equals-black tags from your OP.

not going to be rude or anything but I just find touchwiz really ugly. it doesn't look nice
Agreed, good luck with your port but i'll never touch something with touchwiz.
Why would you pick the most ugliest version of Android to replace the beautiful vanilla version on the Moto G? Most Samsung owners who root their phones switch to AOSP based ROMs as soon as possible. And here you are trying to bring this monstrosity into your life? Why? Why? Why?

Truthfully all my porting skills are in my head and I never followed any links to do so.
The s4 has a 801 processor which would be a very good difference from what is in the n4 so matching up a touchwiz ROM init filed on kit Kat would be my starting place to see what the differences are from there.
Then from there it comes down to figuring out the differences in lib since most touchwiz changed are in the frameworks.
In the end, you would end up with more mako then s4 which is what you want

Thanks! I also compared S3, S4 and mako. And as you said S3 is much closer to mako. So I'll start searching while keeping S3 in mind :good:
