[Q] support for S-View in custom ROMs? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

TW apps on Google Edition ROM's.

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.

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.

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 doesn't work on the Google edition 4.3 either... Weird

that is weird, dude. i'm gonna do some searching around...
EDIT: you're not alone. apparently there isnt the software support from the manufacturer for non-stock firmware yet.

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.
Sent from my GT-I9505G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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.

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.

[Q] Aosp or similar dialer?

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.

[Q] S-View

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!
Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
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?
Sent from my SGH-L720 using xda app-developers app
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!
