Stock android - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

What is the best way to make the galaxy s7 more like stock marshmellow and get as much TouchWiz features off the phone as possible?

Using a Stock Android theme, and using all the Google Stock apps that are in the PlayStore.

Updating to 3.2 without TouchWiz

Something I haven't seen discussed is whether it is possible to upgrade the SGT 10.1 to Honeycomb 3.2 without putting TouchWiz on the tablet. I haven't installed the firmware update that brought TouchWiz and would like to avoid it if possible. Anyone know if this is possible?
Dont believe so. It's either you opt in to Touchwiz and the Samsung upgrade path or you do it with custom ROMs if you want to stick with pure AOSP
No, you cannot do it. If you install from Samsung, you can't avoid TW. And currently there is no 3.2 custom rom without TW.

Is it possible to somehow switch the navigation bar at the bottom back to what it used to look like before touchwiz? Changing launchers doesn't change the navigation bar, so does touchwiz have to be removed all together? If so, how? Anyone
The only way that I can think of would be to flash back to 3.1 pre TW update... I can't remember where I found the odin files for this as its been a while since I did it....
Maybe someone has a link to the odin files needed..... But you'd be back at 3.1.....

Stock keyboard hunt

Hey. So I just recently got bored with the stock s4 ROM and decided to go back into the rooting business. I flashed TWRP recovery and LiquidSmooth ROM. Everything is great but I realized I lost the Samsung keyboard. Now, I know it's not the greatest keyboard out there, but it did allow me to view and send the little built in emojis. I am using SwiftKey beta keyboard that supports emojis but they are the Android looking emojis, not the real ones. I've looked high and low for an original apk or zip I can flash that will install the stock keyboard but can't find anything. Can someone help me out? . Thanks!
Can't run stock touchwiz keyboard on AOSP.

[Q] Question about installing stock android apps

I'm running 4.4.2 on a rooted Note 3.
I was wondering... if I downloaded stock android apps like... dialer/contacts, camera, gallery, clock... can I just freeze the stock Samsung ones via Titanium Backup and use the stock android ones as default? Would that work normally? Anything I should take into consideration?
Thanks =)

I don't think simple like that .
especially if you take it from other device. And even same device, if you take it from AOSP, you can't just simply uninstall old one, and replace new one. you will have FC.
Because samsung apps if a modded to work on TW framework, and the AOSP apps some need modification first to be able to work on TW framework.
I could be wrong
Cheers.

[Q] I want vanilla android on my S5...

Hey all,
Really not a fan of Touchwiz. I previously had a fully rooted S3 with Cyanogenmod, and loved how it was based around vanilla android.
Is there any way of getting 'standard' android on my S5 without rooting and voiding my warranty. I'd root, but, screw you Knox
Thanks!

No
Try using a custom launcher like Apex or Nova, get the AOSP kit kat based icons, and download everything aosp like Google keyboard etc... It's as close as you'll get to vanilla without screwing your warranty

[Q] [TW] Looking for a debloated Touchwiz-ROM

Hi!
Is there a debloated Touchwiz available on Note 3?
I really don't want all that Samsung bloatware and the Google package should be also small.
Which TW-based ROM should I use for my needs? Can you help me?
Yesterday i tried Audax L. After the setup process i had to freeze 80 apps!! And there were still many candidates for freezing. I went back to my good old temasek.

I dont think there will be any TW ROM that comes without Bloat.
AryaMod gives option to select which samsung apps you want to install.
But still you have to manually debloat it as there are many more system services which are of no use.
