The link you post says thanks to someone for letting them use their S4 theme. So it looks like the theme your linking is a port from an S4 theme to begin with : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2372902
Because its for the 9505 (which is essentially the same as the 337, as in runs the same hardware. the 9500 is the eyxnos one) it should run just fine.
HOWEVER because there could be small differences in the apk's between the variants i recommend getting the 3mint build associated to the android version her rom has and using 3mint framework instead.
Check the link it has all the required files to get it up and running.

Sorry that I post here, I dont have enough posts yet to post in developer threads.
Is it possible to port TW5 to the Nexus4 ?
I dont like the ICS (TW4) one. 5 Looks better with the colors.
Would be nice if someone could do it.

what are you talking about? Nexus does not use TW. The nexus has a pure Android launcher
Touchwiz is awesome

Because its a great phone and I like it even if it doesn´t have TW
Then I´ll just wait if someone makes a TW5 port or S3 Theme.
I didn´t want to flash a Custom ROM thats why I asked, I am sure I´ll be able to use TW with CyanogenMOD ?
Anyway, thanks for your answers
//EDIT I informed myself a bit, I didnt know TW is a formware, I just wanted the launcher/theme
reason i bought nexus is to rid of touchwhiz.. who wants that kiddish firmwarE?

you can try to find a touchwiz theme for a third party launcher like "go launcher" in the play store
Is this a TROLL THREAD?
Thread moved to Q&A as is a question and even if you did have enough posts you should never post question threads in development. Please don't disrespect other members and be abusive as this is uncalled for. Some people are just not as knowledgeable as others and we were all new once so if you don't have anything useful to say, please say nothing at all.
Thanks

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,
but I am used to this layout and I like it.

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)
Hello!
I was looking today for a rom for my friend's Galaxy S2. Then I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847600
It's based on Sammy's rom, but most apps were changed to AOSP. Same as MIUI for our device, which supports all S Pen features but only S Note and camera app are from Sammy.
Is someone planning to develop this kind of rom for our device? Is there something like this that I missed.
Thanks!
EDIT:
Oops, thought I was is Q&A forum. Please move this post to there...
Damn that definitely looks awesome of a rom..especially the dialer and status bar,maybe someone will get to port it to the Note II.

Posting this rom won't help us, we still won't have S Pen and stability.
Someone needs to take the AOSP apps, port them to the Note 2 and replace the Samsung apps. I have no idea how to port the AOSP apps, so I can't to that..
The CaponMod ROM is the closest we've got to an AOSP-hybrid rom feel as far as I've seen.
This looks quite appealing. :good:

it's not exactly what I was looking for as the Chamelon rom is mostly AOSP, only Samsung features and two apps, not a skin.
I was wondering if our device can get keyboard similar to the s4/notr 3..i would love to have that extra row with numerics.. Is there any apk available that might work woth our device or any other somewhat smilar keyboard available on play store?
Use Cataclysm ROM
yeah i want to... i hope some good people will help we..
So, anyone got it? I want it too.
man as soon as you gusy find out please let me know i can't wait to get a keyboard like the note 3 or s4 with the number roll, i tough somebody would have ported that already.
goes to Galaxy S4 thread in theme and apps and found that you need , it's simply man :good:

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!!
(Please don't hate me for Choosing Touchwiz,There's no other UI to Port
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.
Good luck with your project...

Port galaxy s5 touchwiz, not the other ones
@J.K pls let us know about your past experience/work on porting
if you are new to this porting stuff. then all the best for your work
i would like to mention this you are over confident..
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?
Just messing with you dude. All the best with the port.

From what ive read, they actually have a consistent look on s5 touchwiz and also more flat.

I dont see the problem with that launcher? Maybe its because i use Android L Wallpaper. Only thing i noticed is that that folder is ugly.
First of all, there is no reason for discouraging remarks to members who want to contribute to the community. If you don't like what they are doing, nobody is forcing you to flash it on your phone. Move along and get on with your day.
Secondly, we do not allow placeholder threads here. When the work is complete, feel free to post it. For this reason I'm closing this thread.
Thanks.
Hello All,
Samsung has started rolling out Lollipop on Galaxy S4. I would like to know if it is possible to port that ROM to Nexus 4?
Can someone point me to the guides to port Galaxy S4 ROM to Nexus 4?
Thank you!
Why would anyone want to do that?

I thought the same exact thing when I saw the title but it the spirit of xda, yes it could be ported but the s3 would probably be easier if there was one which there probably isn't.
All depends on how much effort you wanna put into it though
Fair play

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:
I just sold my S5 as TW ram so damn horrible on LP, a phone of that spec ran slower than a Moto G, why would you want that crap anywhere near a nexus device?
