Running a Sprint SPH-L720 Galaxy S4
Carbon Rom 1/20/14 Nightly (Kit Kat 4.4.2)
I need to get my s-view working again with my windowed cover.
It worked on my stock MF9 Rom, but the software is not there in the Carbon Rom.
I have the s-view apk's from the net (i.e. Hatroid s-view) that use the proximity sensor for the effect, but they are not the same as the stock software that uses the magnet. Is this software proprietary to Samsung or is it available to us?
Any help would be appreciated, I have been looking for awhile with no luck.
From what I know you have to use a touchwiz ROM in order to use the sview properly with the magnet.

All s features are touchwiz only features!

OK, I did not know that. Im gonna have to look into that. Thanks
Any way to break apart touchwiz and get that feature working through an .apk if I'm on a custom room like Carbon? Is that available?

Nope, it will only work with the TW framework and rom. If you want Samsung features you have to go back to Touchwiz.
Any idea why the magnet works then on other devices like my nexus 7 when running AOSP or CM roms, but not on the GS4?
Also, has anyone found an app that will just do the case turning the screen on and off without anything else? I don't want any of the other proximity stuff or notifications. I just want the screen to shut off when I close my case and turn on when I open it.
Thanks!

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.

It would be nice to have Samsung Link on the G E rom, anyone know if this will work?

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.

It also works on the Google Edition 4.3 Which suggests that it might be possible?
Is this yet possible?

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 ?

Hello Everyone I have a few quick questions. I searched the web for answers but none turned up. I am very new to rooting phones but I love stock android so bad, I must have it. So here are my questions concerning rooting my SGs4.
I have rooted my nexus 4 and put Cyanogenmod on it in the past, is the process the same for the sgs4?
The sgs4 has many features iv never seen on Cyanogenmod, I could be wrong so will all my s4 features still work?
Finally whats this Build MF9 mean? iv recently bought my s4 does this build apply to me?
MF9 is the text code for the date the software was released. Go to settings - more - about device and look at your build number to see which version you are on. If not mf9 do the software update.
None of the touchwiz apps will work natively on an AOSP based rom but many of them (not all) have alternatives in the play store market
We should be getting an upadate to android 4.3 starting tomorrow so you may want to hold off and see how you like that first.

Yeah and all of the fancy gestures like the smart stay, smart scroll, air view and air gestures will not work on AOSP from my understanding. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

As these people stated are true but to be honest if you plan to root do not update to 4.3 unless some devs says is a go for rooting. And if you do decide to upgrade, you might stay without root for awhile.
A rooted verson will be out before the OTA goes out.. The source is already available

Thank you all I read everyone's post, very helpful. I do have build number ending in mf9 so I think I'm good to root.
I don't think update will be cool and I don't need Samsungs bloat ware, truthfully I haven't used not one of their features.
I have had an amazing experience on cyanogen mod with my nexus 4.
Also I hear battery is amazing on Cm on gs4

Is it at all possible to get aosp or a similar dialer/contacts whilst staying on tw ROM? I am rooted, and love my note but the one thing that is left bugging me is having to use tw dialer/contacts combo.
Have had a good search around but find a mass of stuff that isn't relative. Any advise appreciated.

Are there any ROMs attempting S-View support?
Is it something that can be extracted and brought to a ROM, like a system app?
I got an S-View case, and it is nice but seems a little gimmicky. I won't bother buying one with wireless charging if it means I can only have the stock ROM.

I would like to know this to!
