Is there a way to get the trebuchet launcher from CM on the stock samsung firmware? I don't mind waiting for a CM port if/when it happens, but i really miss the trebuchet launcher. Is there an APK somewhere i could sideload?
I've tried the bazooka launcher (a clone that's in the play store)...it's just not the same.
Have you tried or is it possible to pull the launcher apk from the custom rom?
There seems to be an apk here for it you can try or if someone with the device would like to test

Why not give Nova a try? It's built on the same open source code as Trebuchet, and it has many additional features and options. You can find it on the Play Store.

Nova is all I've ever used. Grabbed the paid version when it was being offered for free I think.
@mattdm
He asked where to get trebuchet. Not for other options. If you don't have an answer, then don't answer. When we want nova launcher we will ask.
Straight from our 5/30 build: http://www.2shared.com/file/aQDpjDJr/Trebuchet.html?
1) download
2) install like any other app (no root required)
3) press home button
4) make trebuchet your default launcher
5) enjoy

Hey Ppl
I've tested some of Samsung´s Apps on my Galaxy S4 Mini with Cm 11.
I've only tested stock Apps not modified Apps...
3 of 12 Apps are compatible with CM...

I'm sure it some other Samsung service these software requires it though. I delete the TW launcher using Titanium Backup and use a lightweight launcher on the stock ROM. Most these app still works (except the TW widgets, which non-works).

I didn't say I use CM? I simply said I delete the TouchWiz laucher from my stock Samsung ROM on my S3 4.1.2 using Titanium Back-up. Just implying that TouchWiz isn't responsible for some of the app to function, but some other service.

You're wrong - there are different between Touchwiz Launcher and Touchwiz Framework. CM has none of them. So yes you can' t still install Samsung Stock Apps with TW requirement on CM...
Touchwiz Launcher has nothing to do with the stock apps its just a launcher

I did imply "TouchWiz isn't responsible for some of the app to function, but some other service". I'm sorry, it just seems vague to say TouchWiz "framework" while there could be so many thing and you put all the possibility under one umbrella. You're partially wrong too about the TW Laucher, few apps can't work without it even at stock ROM.
I'm not here to argue, but there's so many hidden Samsung service you could try also to port instead of just the app itself. Heck it may be even Kernel related I don't know. Just giving my two cents.
HI~
Thank you very much
Does anyone have a copy of the Samsung music player app for GT-I9192? I flashed CarbonRom and the app disappeared from the phone. I really would like to get that app back onto my phone. Every time I try to install it from other places, including ones I've found on here, the installation fails, any idea why?
Hi guys,
I've just brought this fantastic device, and I'm very happy about it. He is really snappy whit Nova launcher However I would like to receive some suggestions from you on how to get the best from our N10.
For example, I was thinking to install a custom rom and a custom kernel, but I rly don't know which and I don't know if they rly can give some advantages.
I was thinking something like purity rom (because of tweaked bionic and dalvik libraries) + KT Kernel (because it has been recently updated). Or maybe KT kernel + stock rom + ART
What do you think? Have you got any suggestion? Tell me
PS: sry for my bad English
Hi,
I've been using CyanogenMod 11 with its own kernel for some long time now, it never ceased to disappoint me! However, it's not recommendable creating threads asking for the "best kernel/ROM", the best thing to be done is downloading and trying yourself until you find something that suits well your needs . CM11 with NOVA Launcher was good enough for me hehe.

Eheh I know that, but I'm not a flash maniac, and rly I have fear to brick my device flashing and re-flashing roms on roms... That's why I'm asking your opinion. I would like to find immediately the best solution, flash it and then don't touch the device more.
However the for your opinion. I will keep it in mind

I think that the first thing you need to ask yourself is what are your priorities with this device? For instance gaming performance, media consumption, is stability paramount... Etc?
You may want to start off with rooted stock and add the XPosed framework plus modules that give you custom ROM features particularly Gravity Box. If you need more then change your kernel (Franco, KTManta ... Etc). No matter which way you go take nandroid backups and save them off your device before making a significant change (kernel, custom ROM, moving away from stock). Your recovery of choice will provide you with the nandroid backup/recovery functions.
Also read, read... Knowing the focus of a specific kernel or ROM will help in making your choices balanced by the issues other users are having.
Good luck.

Thank for the answer.
Yeah I always read all the feature of roms... But they never speak about optimization or performance. They always add features and options on Android but... Nothing I can't get with gravitybox.
What I need is smoothness. Not necessarily game performance, but speed while moving from app to app without microlag.
However, let me ask here other questions without opening another thread:
1)Is it normal that, when trying to access the recovery (my device is locked and not rooted) it display "no commands"? Do I need to unlock the device to get into recovery?
2) Can you suggest me a program make backups of my games saves and apps without root? Because I need to backups my data before unlocking the device...

Well, I can't really speak on custom ROMs and kernels because I'm perfectly happy with running stock rooted with Xposed Framework on my N5, N7 (2013) and N10. But, to answer your questions:
1) Yes, it's normal. When you boot into Recovery, all you initially see is the android laying on his back with a red exclamation mark over him. In order to get the commands to show, you need to hit power + volume down (or maybe up, I always forget) at the same time. It can take a few tries with the buttons, but they'll eventually show up.
2) I believe an app called Helium is what you are looking for. I've never used it since I'm already rooted and use Titanium Backup, but I believe it kind of works the same as Titanium Backup.

Do you mind providing the instructions of installing Xposed Framework on N4 and N10? Thanks a lot!
Nexus devices are very very hard to brick. Luckily. So no worries there mate. As for roms. Long story short: there is no best rom. If you want speed juat overclock the beast..

No problem. Everything you need to know can be found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/framework-xposed-rom-modding-modifying-t1574401.
It's pretty straightforward. Just install the Xposed Installer apk, then go into the Xposed Installer app and hit "Install/Update". Reboot, and Xposed Framework should be installed. Then, just go back into the Xposed Installer app and click "Download" and choose whatever Modules you want to run. My personal favorites are Gravity Box, Unicon (purchased through the Play Store), Xuimod, and App Settings. I also have the Xposed GEL Settings (XGELS) Module, but only on my Nexus 10 since I love the Google Now Launcher, but it shrinks the icon grid considerably. So XGELS allows me to get the same number of icons on the GN Launcher as the default launcher.
Edit: Oh, and here is a collection of the Modules so you can see what each of them do: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/index-collection-xposed-modules-post-t2327541

Thanks a lot for the detailed help!
A couple of questions:
1) Is backup necessary before the installation?
2) Does the Enable Translucent Decor module hide the navigation and notification bars?
3) Would the installation of the Xposed framework interfere with the stock ROM updates later on?
Thanks again for your kind help...

No problem.
1) It's not really necessary, but before installing/flashing anything that can modify system files, I always think it's a good idea to make a backup beforehand. You never know. That being said, it's all really simple.
2) If you're talking about the solid black background in the notification and navigation bars, then yes. It doesn't completely get rid of them, it just makes the black bar transparent like it should be when using the Google Now Launcher. I don't use that specific module because I already use Gravity Box, and it already has that option to enable translucent decor. It works flawlessly. I don't know why Google said it causes issues on the Nexus 10. If you want to completely get rid of those two bars, you need to enable something like PIE controls and Expanded Desktop.
3) Yes. But the solution is simple. When you want to update via OTA, all you have to do is go into the Xposed Installer app, and under Framework, just click Uninstall. This replaces the modified Framework with the stock Framework so you can update via OTA without any issues. You don't even have to uncheck or uninstall your Modules or the Xposed Installer app itself. Then, after updating, you'll probably just have to re-root by flashing SuperSU in recovery (unless you have survival mode enabled). After that, simply go back into the Xposed Installer app, and under Framework again, click Install/Update. As long as you left your Modules as is, your setup should be back to how it was before you took the OTA.
Well guys, i think I'm going to install SlimKat 4.0 and KTmanta Kernel... I will tell you if I'm satisfied of my choice
Ok guys, I've done some tests and now I've decided too keep Purity rom + ART... And the results are incredible!
23000 score on Antutu benchmark
9000 with Quadrat
Incredible performances and a GREAT battery life, much better than stock rom with dalvik
I think that the tweaked ART and Kernel of Purity Rom deliver the best experience with our device. I suggest it, you will be surprised of the benefits you can get!
Thank to everyone who helped me in this thread
I have been very happy with my AOKP and Franco Kernel combination.
I've installed Purity ROM + ART and it's fast - but i still think stock 4.3 is faster. I tried KTManta and that didn't change things despite overclocking the CPU and GPU.Wish we could have ART on a 4.3 rom.
Are there any recommended 4.3 rom/kernel combos that give good performance?
Edit: First time i installed Purity I didn't install GApps. It was incredibily smooth and fast. After installing GApps, it became laggy again, similar to my experience of stock 4.4.2.

Do you really find 4.3 faster then kitkat + art? It's really strange. Well I know that the latest jelly bean firmware maybe is built better than 4.4.2 (which has got some bugs here and there, and yeah I prefer JB device options format) but ART is unbeatable, except by a very well tweaked Dalvik library.
However I think I know maybe why Purity 4.4.2 seems laggy to you. Maybe it's Google now launcher + transparent status bar & notification bar.
I've changed the launcher to Nova (but u can use Apex and similar) and immediately disabled translucent bars. It's smooth like butter now. With tra translucent bars, instead, everything was a little laggy and not fluid. In particular the Drawer scrolling was clearly laggy.
So, try to Nandroid backup, flash again Purity + Gapps. Then change Launcher (and unistall the google one if u want) and disable translucent bars. Then activate ART.
That's what I've done and I'm very happy of the performance provided by my Nexus 10
Also now I'm trying KTmanta Kernel. I didn't found increased performances, but I really like the possibility to undervolt both CPU & GPU. Undervolt = less energy request = No overheat = best battery life

I' going to test KTmanta for another week, then I will switch to Franco kernel to see which is better
Sure I agree the general UI and multitasking is snappier with 4.4.2 with ART than 4.3.1...BUT I primarily bought the nexus 10 to consume media (e.g. video, ebooks, music) and for me buttered AOKP 4.3 is much smoother when watching video than any 4.4.2 rom/kernel combo I tried. The trade off is a bit of stutter in the UI but I can live with that. Video was just terrible on 4.4.2, including audio sync lag and plenty of dropped frames.
Can't wait to see how 4.5 behaves with video as I really like ART!
Hello, is someone experiencing lag in app switcher button? the animation gets very slow and take some seconds to execute and show the opened apps.

You should try. The stock rom isn't the smoothest one out there, and after a while system problems can occur.
You're obviously free to flash whatever you want, but I'd recommend a good custom ROM (of which we n4 owners have plenty) or even the L preview, which I've been running for months. If you're not absolutely adamant about xposed you can switch to the ART runtime (note: only option in L, finally) which has been around for roughly one year, and more or less everyone will tell you it's a great leap forward.
(How's your internal storage? Could explain the sluggishness)
Its 16gb Nexus 4. The thing about custom Roms is that, for what I have experienced, they're less stable than the stock ROM. Maybe because its tons of features.
I'm still trying to find the best way to backup everything in the phone.
So, xposed won't work in L?
Other thing is, I used to change Roms with my other phones, and I don't want to enter in this ROM loophole, like, having to try Roms, kernels, etc.
yes, Xposed Framework won't work on android l ...Read this: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/rovo89-speaks-up-regarding-art-and-android-l-support/
Hi Guys,
I ABSOLUTELY HATE TW lol
i wanted to know if anyone can save me time testing them all, is there a TW rom that is as close to AOSP as possible no Samsung apps apart from camera & s heath ?
And can you remap the buttons and use a dark theme ?
I would love to us a aosp rom but i want the good quality camera and to be able to use s health

Well, the best way to do this, is of course by rooting your phone and installing any TW-based custom rom you like. Debloated, deodexed and including any samsung app you like to install during the aroma installation process.

You should try out resurrectionremix, which is real aosp. As for touchwiz, you can only use a custom launcher, a darker theme and install Google Apps, although that will be all you can change on touchwiz.

Regarding camera quality, you can use htc camera on AOSP roms. Ultra fast focus and great quality. The only problem is it crashes here and then..although o hadn't installed it for a while now. So it may be even more stable on newest nightlies. Otherwise it is the best.
Use Dual Boot Patcher app to install ResurrectionRemix in dual boot with your TW-based ROM. If you want to take good photos, reboot into the TW ROM, and for everything else, use RR ROM
