I've seen some omni rom's for different carrier's for the s4 that have multi window. Is there such a rom for Sprint?
Preferrably 4.4.2 but not necesary. Currently I'm running Omega Rom v19 after exporting APN's from cm10.2 using apn backup/restore (giving it system app status with titanium pro... but can be done with es). v20 rom doesn't seem to want to boot fully.
Anyways, Omega rom v19 is touchwiz and I really prefer a clean aokp/aosp/cm layout (i.e. google), but the multi window I think is a really indispensable feature that I could really take advantage of.
Any suggestions? I did find Smasher rom that says "multi-view" but I posted on the thread my lack of being able to get it to work in any way other than a simple notification bar.

Is it possible to install CM10/AOSP/AOKP apks in the stock TW ROM?
At the moment I'm running AOKP nightly and love the layout and features of the apps. However I miss some of the TW features (mainly gestures, battery life and IR blaster).
The apps that I mostly care about are:
1. Messaging
Found the following thread, will keep an eye on it, but as it stands MMS isn't working.

2. Contacts
3. Phone
Reason I want the above is because I hate the look of the TW interface for the above 3 apps, and much prefer the clean look of the CM10/AOSP/AOKP versions.
Thanks!
buddy, Aosp/Aokp/Cm10 rom has made using Aosp pure Rom. so if u install any application and it installed normally then only it can work else any Mod can change that using compiling the application.

I'm not sure what you mean.
Maybe I wasn't clear in my first post.
Is it possible to port the apk's mentioned above to Stock TouchWiz firmware.
Messaging has been completed, now all I need is contacts.apk and phone.apk to work.
I'm already running AOKP (and love it), but miss some of the stock features (mainly gestures and IR blaster).
So if I could get a combination of stock rom and certain AOKP apk's then I'd be happy!
I have read a bit on the topic of ROMs, but I have never rooted or installed a custom ROM until now. Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, I am just trying to figure out the whole odexed/deodexed deal.
From what I've gathered, deodexed ROMs were originally used to be able to edit things such as status bar colors (clock, notification icons, etc) and even the icons themselves. They boot 'slower' but after the initial boot it is not that recognizable as newer hardware more than compensates for this issue. (I have a Galaxy S5 G900P)
So I have flashed a deodexed ROM onto my phone (R.D.D.T.). Now, this ROM also has an odexed version as well. I assumed that having the deodexed version would allow me to edit icons, colors, etc. However, I'm not quite sure how I can do it.
I have seen and read about people installing custom, deodexed ROMs onto their phones, and many of them (Alliance, X-Note) will come with either an app pre-installed on the ROM, or a ROM-specific menu in Settings. This menu lets them customize things in the way I would like to be able to. The problem is that, at this time, the G900P (Sprint) version of the Galaxy S5 is not supported by either of those ROMs, or many other popular ROMs for that matter. R.D.D.T. (and R.O.D.T as well as the Mystery Build) was one of the only ROMs I could find that explicitly supports the G900P. I like the concept of this ROM, as it seems like a good, no BS bloat-less ROM that is otherwise very close to stock Android. But, I do not believe it came with any ROM-specific way of editing colors, themes, icons, etc. So my question is a few parts I guess:
-Is there still a way (downloadable app, editing files, etc) for me to be able to edit colors on the S5 with this ROM?
-In a situation like this, what is the benefit of having a deodexed ROM installed?
-Are there other ROMs similar to R.D.D.T. that currently support the G900P S5 which additionally offer customization?
-What is it with the Galaxy S5 that is causing so many ROMs to not officially support it?
Sorry for the long post, but my primary aim here is to learn everything that I can about this.
I don't own an S5 yet so I can't test out the current theme options but I'm hoping somebody can answer my question. I prefer the look of stock android over TW. As AOSP roms are fully working yet, is there a way to make the S5 look like stock android?
I know I can use a different launcher, many of which probably have a stock android theme. But.. do these themes change everything to look like stock android, such as the settings app, pop up windows etc? I looked in the Alliance Rom thread which has many theme options but I couldn't see a stock kitkat style theme.
Hi,
GOAL: Samsung Touchwiz stock ROM (as it really works WELL!!)
Remove/Move the APPS Drawer from the DOCK and place in a folder on the wallpaper.
Using an APP LIKE Safestrap gives the opportunity to run multiple roms using SD card.
** I wish to try safestrap on G900W8 but I can't find a compile for W8 to test other ROMS and I anticipate that some one will develop the ability to use this across all Galaxy S5 eventually.
I have taken the standpoint the best way to have a reliable well working Galaxy S5 is to run a stock ROM.
Other roms are excellent but the S5 is also an infant for the custom rom section and future roms will eventually be much more compatible with all hardware.
- root
- remove/uninstall/freeze Samsung Bloatware etc
- Remove the extra junk.
- Enable additional features in CSC xml files like native sip calling or call recording and so on.
The last issue with the Stock ROM that I don't like is the APPS Drawer on DOCK.
I don't need to goto this complete list of apps hardly ever.
Using a different LAUNCHER is a well known solution but I wish to use the STOCK launcher.
Can anyone find the file containing the information. I was unsuccessful in the system/csc and so on.
Thank Guys
Cheers
Hi,
Is it possible to create a ROM based on stock .87, but without ASUS interface (settings, quick settings, lockscreen and such) and ASUS/Zen UI? Something that looks like AOSP/CM, but uses stock kernel and software.
If so, what would I have to do? I've never created a ROM myself, even though I've been using custom ROMs since 2013. Would it be enough just to change the APKs for AOSP ones?
Thanks!
*Creating a new stock-based ROM. Sorry for the English error.

Just use empty stock android and flash gapps (I think there is empty stock room)
AOSP 5.0.2 use stock kernel
