I'm not referring to an AOSP rom like CM or a STOCK rom that is AOSP styled. I'm referring to a STOCK rom that has had any and all of TouchWiz removed, maintained the drivers, but have replaced the framework with AOSP counterparts. Something like a hybrid chimera of sorts.
Has this been done? While I'm a programmer I'm no Android developer so I'm curious if this is feasible.
Well Android minus Touchwiz is basically aosp. Touchwiz is the shell that samsung puts on top of aosp. Removing touchwiz would only mean removing the theme, the apps and the special features that samsung has added in. There is no other way to remove touchwiz entirely. It would simply be an aosp rom.

I want to install to the default phone application to Cyanogenmod 7 RC2. Is this possible? And if that is what I need to move from WildpuzzleROM to the CM7?
It is not possible to have HTC Apps on CM / AOSP ROM's, because they require HTC's framework which is absent in AOSP ROMs like CM7.
However, it can be copied HTC `s framework like in a hybrid ROM. That application is better because of the ability to quickly search for contacts. Unfortunately, each alternative application did not meet my requirements, eg TAKEphONE dialer.
Thanks for the quick reply, but I do not give up so easily surely we can somehow move from WildPuzzleROM to CM7.
It is possible in a Hybrid ROM, just not in CM/Pure AOSP ROM. A Hybrid ROM has already been developed, and you should be able to find it in the Android Dev Section.
Hybrid ROMs are pointless and stupid, because they're still based on HTC's ROM, therefore not AOSP, and therefore slow and laggy.
Is it possible to install CM10/AOSP/AOKP apks in the stock TW ROM?
At the moment I'm running AOKP nightly and love the layout and features of the apps. However I miss some of the TW features (mainly gestures, battery life and IR blaster).
The apps that I mostly care about are:
1. Messaging
Found the following thread, will keep an eye on it, but as it stands MMS isn't working.

2. Contacts
3. Phone
Reason I want the above is because I hate the look of the TW interface for the above 3 apps, and much prefer the clean look of the CM10/AOSP/AOKP versions.
Thanks!
buddy, Aosp/Aokp/Cm10 rom has made using Aosp pure Rom. so if u install any application and it installed normally then only it can work else any Mod can change that using compiling the application.

I'm not sure what you mean.
Maybe I wasn't clear in my first post.
Is it possible to port the apk's mentioned above to Stock TouchWiz firmware.
Messaging has been completed, now all I need is contacts.apk and phone.apk to work.
I'm already running AOKP (and love it), but miss some of the stock features (mainly gestures and IR blaster).
So if I could get a combination of stock rom and certain AOKP apk's then I'd be happy!
I've just bought a i9500, yeah the one with the Exynos Processor and doesn't have a proper AOSP rom, my question is, can I install the AOSP Contacts and Dialer apps on this roms? I would like to because I think the Touchwiz contact and dialer app sucks, I like the AOSP better!
You need to port it over. Requires knowledge of compiling and decompiling APKS and smalis. Why not use an alternative, exDialler is good alternative.
I don't own an S5 yet so I can't test out the current theme options but I'm hoping somebody can answer my question. I prefer the look of stock android over TW. As AOSP roms are fully working yet, is there a way to make the S5 look like stock android?
I know I can use a different launcher, many of which probably have a stock android theme. But.. do these themes change everything to look like stock android, such as the settings app, pop up windows etc? I looked in the Alliance Rom thread which has many theme options but I couldn't see a stock kitkat style theme.
i received a S5 and of an debt and i will use it, Im a motorola user and im used with rom's like "minimal ROM" with everything ripped, There are any ROM for S5 duos like that?
Thanks
You can use any touchwiz based rom and remove features you don't want at installation. Try epsilon for example that what i used.
If you don't want touchwiz at all, you can just flash aosp or cm rom, it removes all samsung features.

I hate this touchwiz, i will try this epsilon, it work the fingerprint?
Why its so dificult find a clean ROM for samsungs, touchwiz + bloatware sux Hahahah
Thanks
You can choose what stock features to leave, and fingerprint is one of them, so yes you can make fingerprint work.
There is also XtreStoLite which consists in a very debloated rom (500mb or so) and in an add-on which has every samsung feature from wich you can chose only those you need (like fingerprint or one hand mode). An the battery life its just...amazing. Minimal rom...maximal batt.
