Hi Everyone,
Is it possible to import the better features of Samsung Stock Rom (Camera, IR features..air view, and stuff) to the Google PLay Edition Rom?
Thanks,
In short, no. To add those features would require an extensive modding of both framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk. The modding would be so extensive that you might as well not even bother. In fact, since you want the Samsung doodads, install a Touchwiz ROM, root it, and debloat it. After that, add Google Search and Apex Launcher to finish the job.

I hope this is not a totally dumb question as I am new to Android phones:
There are some good apps that come with the note as standard like S Memo and also some Samsung specific things like S Choice. How do I keep these when I upgrade to a custom Rom.
I looked as Astro file manager back up capability, and it doesn't list these there.
Would Titanium backup list them and allow me to save them for re-installation?
Thanks
Chris
You can't really keep them on a non-Samsung ROM as they depend on the Touchwiz framework. Sorry :'-(

are u going to be flashing an ICS rom or staying on Gingerbread? you will not be able to use any pre-installed apps if you are flashing ICS rom. But if you're flashing a GB rom (rocket rom v23, checknote etc) then you can use Titanium Backup but most GB roms come with smemo, splanner, etc. Hope this helped.

Thanks for those replies guys, it's actually really helpful for a newbe like me. I need to explaore the standard apps a bit more to see what's good and whether I need a substitute for any.
I was thinking of flashing an ICS ROM, but I need to explore which one is the best.
If I loose the S.Memo app, that seems really good, is there a substitue in the market? Of all the apps that utilises the pen, that would seem to be the key one!
Your advice is appreciated.
I'm using a modified version of MyScript Notes Mobile which I think works perfect for handwriting notes. Get it here (and thank the guy who modified it in that thread ): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594325

I'm not sure if the ICS roms based on the leaked Samsung firmwares have all the s-pen apps but I'm sure just about any custom GB rom here is based on original Samsung firmwares and thus include all Samsung apps (unless explicitly mentioned in the thread that they were removed ofcourse).
You can still use your pen in ICS roms that are not based on Samsung firmwares though you'll lose pressure sensitivity. If you feel like you'll need pressure sensitivity you could flash a rom based on LP6.
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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2254459
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.
Hi,
GOAL: Samsung Touchwiz stock ROM (as it really works WELL!!)
Remove/Move the APPS Drawer from the DOCK and place in a folder on the wallpaper.
Using an APP LIKE Safestrap gives the opportunity to run multiple roms using SD card.
** I wish to try safestrap on G900W8 but I can't find a compile for W8 to test other ROMS and I anticipate that some one will develop the ability to use this across all Galaxy S5 eventually.
I have taken the standpoint the best way to have a reliable well working Galaxy S5 is to run a stock ROM.
Other roms are excellent but the S5 is also an infant for the custom rom section and future roms will eventually be much more compatible with all hardware.
- root
- remove/uninstall/freeze Samsung Bloatware etc
- Remove the extra junk.
- Enable additional features in CSC xml files like native sip calling or call recording and so on.
The last issue with the Stock ROM that I don't like is the APPS Drawer on DOCK.
I don't need to goto this complete list of apps hardly ever.
Using a different LAUNCHER is a well known solution but I wish to use the STOCK launcher.
Can anyone find the file containing the information. I was unsuccessful in the system/csc and so on.
Thank Guys
Cheers
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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
