Hi guys, i am an owner of a GS4 GT-i9505.
At the moment i use the ShoStock ROM 4.4.3 wich is TouchWiz based.
I would like a pure stock android ROM that supports the S-View feature that actually works on calls and the WatchON app.
Those are the only 2 features i most use from TouchWiz.
Any stock android roms that support those 2?
Thanks in advance.
The S-view cover should work on all Google Play based ROMs for the i9505, though, not sure how well. As for WatchOn it should be enough to install the APK to get it working.
EDIT: it seems that the S-view cover works just the same way on Google Edition ROMs as it does on TouchWiz.

Thus, any of these ROMs will do:

And WatchOn can thereafter be installed from here:

Well i am asking for the Sview cover because i had a google play edition and it didn't work. If you click the 2nd link you gave me, on the info it says that Sview cover is not supported.
Hm, I see. I assumed that it would be included in all Google Play Edition ROMs, but it does seem like the 2nd ROM is indeed missing this. That said, users of Danvdh's GPE ROM are reporting that S-View functionality should be "working", though there's no clear answer if it actually works with calls in the latest release.

It does not work on SlimKat Alpha 1.1 from my testing, including a full wipe afterwards as well as cache/dalvik only, tried twice as well.
If it works on houstonn's AOSP, it will probably work on his PA as well but I haven't tested that just yet.
I'm going to try to manually do it and report.
I have a Sprint HTC One running the latest CM11 build by "kushdeck" and just flashed the deodexed version. Following your steps provided all works flawlessly. Thanks so much for making this available to everyone.

Thanks you for the reports so far. Glad it works (for most of you).

Community,
As great as the custom ROMs are for the N5 on Kit Kat, the Google Dialer differs from the AOSP one included in many ROMs in certain aspects:
- uses the "old" 4.3 Phone Icon
- Misses the local search from your dialer app.
In order to help, I have put together 2 versions of the dialer, the teleservices (for phone) and the telephony provider.
Deodexed Version: Included all 3 apps deodexed (dialer, teleservices, telephony provider)
Odexed: Version; Contains APK and .odex files for the 3 apps
GAPPS uploaders are considering whether the Dialer is universal and may include it in their GAPPS in the neat future, for now, we need a seperate flashable zip.
Installation Change the dialer only: (ALWAYS make a backup before you test)
1. Depeding on your ROM, download the ODEX or DEODEX version. I highly recommend the odexed version, that is the one I use currently.
2. Install in recovery.
3. Clear cache/dalvik-cache
4. Reboot
NOTE: Depending on the ROM, you may see a f/c when booting from the com.android.phone apk. If that happens, you may need to WIPE your device and reboot. I have not understood yet why some roms have issues, and others do not. I just recently tested with a dirty wipe from CM11 to another AOSP rom, flashed the ROM, installed the Dialer-mod and it all works fine.

Now I am flashing it on my Nexus S.
OK. Works well.
THX!
sadly no lucky on s4 cm11
Successfully running in latest slimkat release following the notes instructions in the OP. Just curious if I will be able to dirty flash with next slim release. Thanks for this as I like this feature.
Just noticed that BANKS gaaps now include this as well. If mine doesn't work maybe his will help you guys that can't get mine to work.

That is just yours. And I changed the TeleService icon. I don't like an 4.3 icon in 4.4, even though it can't be seen in Google Home.

The TeleService.apk in BANKS gapps is the same as yours. If yours doesn't work, his doesn't, either.
Gotcha. The only thing he does differently is not deleting the aosp dialer.. Which means no FCS for people that had them before. Both banks and I are trying to figure you why it works on most Roms and some others require both dialers...

TeleService.apk (com.android.phone) (I will write TS for short.) is the most important apk.
When a call comes, TS in AOSP wakes up Dialer to show the answer button and interface, while TS in Nexus 5 wakes up Google Dialer.
So if the TS points to Google Dialer and works without FC, all the problems are resolved.
If we find that it doesn't work in some ROMs, that means the ROM requires a different TS.

true - however, given that my and his script replace the TS from AOSP with the Google TS -> it should, in theory, not matter which ROM. UNLESS there is a lib or something similar that calls a specific TS to work only....

hi so far after using the gpe rom i've noticed that the IR blaster isn't working and yes i'm aware watch on will only work with TW framework in place, IR remote is reporting i have no IR blaster!
the camera seems to force close a lot especially if you swipe from lock!
No widgets?
not sure if this has been started elsewhere and many thanks for your hard work @janjan

Im having IR problems too. using Jamal2367's 4.4.
In Jamal2367's 4.3 it worked.
Not sure if its an android 4.4 bug, we'll have to wait for 4.4.x to find out.
I grabbed a Note 3 yesterday with the view of running CM11 on it as I cannot stand Touchwiz.
I flashed it last night and it was running beautifully but I bought the phone as I want to film in 4K and it only goes to 1080p.
Is there a way to get 4K recording on an AOSP rom or can I modify a stock rom to match AOSP but leave the camera app intact?
My Note is rooted so I am led to believe I can replace system apps like the dialer and the messaging app and theme it so it looks like an AOSP rom, but I am not sure if I could do the reverse and install the Samsung Camera apk onto one of the custom Cyanogemod roms?
I have seen some of the themes but cannot seem to get Xtheme Engine, Xposed Installer and Unicon to play nicely together so the rom never changes properly.
Any pointers?

Sorry I was talking about putting a theme on Touchwiz not in CM11 so I can almost have what I want. (AOSP apps with 4K recording as it still has the TW framework)

Use Xblast or Gravity box or Wanam Xposed -- you need to be rooted of course. You can edit to look like AOSP, use another launcher. Or alternatively check out some themes by @HS™

Thanks, that looks like something that will help me greatly. One question though, I have a N9005 and the links are for the N900T, can I use the Rom/theme on a N9005 without issue?

Sorry I thought you were using the U.S. T-mobile variant, Im not sure if it will work, you are gonna have to ask in the forum of the ROM, maybe somebody has tried it on the N9005.
I was brainstorming and had a thought about 4K recording on the Note 3 with an AOSP Rom. The Acer Liquid S2 phone also does 4K recording, could the camera be taken from that Rom and installed in an AOSP Rom as the Acer Rom is close to vanilla Android.
Would that work?
Hi!
I wonder if anyone could get splanner from s5 or s4 working for aosp roms (Slimkat)

Sorry to revive an old thread, but would it be possible to get SPlanner to work on the Google Edition of AOSP that is built for Verizon? I know that the WatchON app works with this Developers Edition.

Watchon works on most roms as it only needs to use the infrared not the framework & splanner was designed in conjunction with touchwiz ? Google Edition doesn't use touchwiz so splanner will not work without it

Thanks! I thought that the IR Blaster didn't work with any ROM because Samsung closed the drivers for it.
This was taken straight from the GE AOSP thread:
This is the latest build for the I9505-G Google Edition S4 official from Google/Samsung, I have made quite a few optimizations to the ROM and added the tools necessary to give it the features (100% working features that is) of an AOSP ROM, Google edition does not use open source proprietary which mean's Bluetooth, and most importantly the camera will work way better out of the box since Samsung builds this ROM (Full HDR support, 1080p video recording, no green lines on the front cam)

I figured since Samsung built in the drivers for a lot of things that it would work.

You can use watchon on most roms although you may need the generic peel.apk of watchon to work on all other versions
In regards of Google Edition rom it doesn't have the same features just that it's been optimised to work on s4, so it's a purer version of Android without Sammy bloatware therefore you won't get bloatware to work as it doesn't have the required libs/framework
Hey guys.
I tried to write this question in the main thread of AOSP room but I couldn't.
I have installed the AOSP Android 4.4.4 GE with S-View support.
Is it possible to disable S-View cover feature somehow? My s-view cover sensor is broken so it thinks the cover is on all the time - and that means I cannot use the phone. The screen frozen on the black screen/clock mode.
Thanks since now.

Thank you for you help. I tried to remove the back case but it didn't work. Somehow I believe the problem is at the cable that connects the MB and the Screen. I need to disable the S-View cover without seen my screen or manage the Xposed app try adb or something like that.
Do you think it is possible?
All I can suggest to you would be to download another rom, one without S-View.
Alot of the "Unified" roms do not come with S-View support, other than that I'm unsure how you would do it without using the screen.
Sorry
