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 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.
Hi everyone, I am not a developer, and I know this question is probably redundant, but I am wondering what is the closest you can get to stock android lollipop with the note 4 specific features. I understand roms are either based on stock android or touchwiz framework, and you have to pick one or the other, but I'm really torn, I have flashed 5.1 on both my S3 and S4 and I absolutely love it, I'm still waiting for the lollipop update from telstra for my stock note 4, but I think when it finally comes around I'm going to be disappointed that it's more touchwiz than lollipop. I guess my question is like I said before, how close can you get to stock lollipop but retain s pen, multi window, etc? Would it be possible to start out with a TW base and swap out all of the UI and apps for stock LP ones? I know I'm way oversimplifying it, I just really want the best of both worlds, I don't really want to root my note unless I can get as close as I can to stock lollipop with the note extras.

If you are not looking into rooting, I recommend Google Now Launcher. It is the most stock Android UI experience you can get on a nonnexus phone. Since it's just a launcher, you retain all your device features. If you are looking into swapping out all of the UI and apps from TW base to stock LP ones, however you will experience this error message everytime you exit out of an app: "Android.System.UI has stopped working", so I do not recommend that.

You're awnser lies amongst the rooted side flashing a tw rom that is aggressively debloated of apps even some essentials and using stock ones from google and then i guess theming the rom to look like a stock pure lollipop. I heard there are some nice alternatives for the spen usage and multiwindow i have tried some in the past on pure android on note 2 but the experience is nowhere near the stock apps from tw, regarding spen and multiwindow.

If you want to keep eveything, you will have to think about a launcher indeed. Goole Now Launcher will be the closest thing.
Google now launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher
I would say when rooted, flash CM12 official, and use CM SPen addon, in combination with notebuddy for you SPen features. You will only lose the multiwindow (links down below).
Spen Addon: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tushar.cmspen2

yeah but you still lose the epic camera quality.
as much as i dislike touchwiz and like cm12 i keep running on stock rom becouse the camera quality on CM based roms is just to bad.
if only there was a way to get the camera quality on a cyanogenmod rom it would be so awesome i wouldnt even care about the spen anymore
Hi guys,
Apologies if this question has been covered before, but I can't seem to find an answer in my searches.
I'm looking for a Touchwiz ROM for a G900I that is or can be themed to look identical (or as close as possible) to the UI of an AOSP ROM, like CM12 or Google Nexus devices.
Until recently, I was happily using CM12.1. The only problem was that Bluetooth audio was not working very well, and there didn't seem to be a way to fix it (it's been a known issue for a number of months but hasn't yet been fixed in nightlies or in any other CM based ROMs).
Ideally, I'd really like the native stability of a Touchwiz ROM, but with an AOSP ROM. Is this possible? Happy to use root and Xposed to get the job done, if that is what is required.
Thanks!
I currently have THIS rom on my N4, but for some bugs I want to change..., so I was searching for a ROM that is the closest thing to stock android, I don't want any customisation or extra features... There are a bunch of roms but all are customised somehow and don't look stock... Any suggestions??
You could use cm13 or an aosp rom with pico gapps and use the launcher you want.

Well, been searching for a AOSP, but there is only one and it has a GPS problem and a few others...
@alipashang77 Try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/fake-nexus-rom-nexus-4-t3230268
like Davoss says, Fake Nexus rom is the best for you. Everything stock. It even has all the google apps. Stable. Only has few bugs.
For the greatest stability, I advising sticking with rooted stock LP.
I personally like using Minimal OS 6.0.1 which is AOSP with Mini 6.0 Gapps found here. It's a nice lightweight ROM with all of the 6.0 features. The mini gapps give you the Google Now launcher, Now on Tap, some popular gapps other than the camera I think, and some small customization options for the notification led, nav bar hight/width, and some other misc options. Battery life is pretty great too, I get a full days use, sometimes a day and a half with Doze overnight.
All right in Fake Nexus ROM (02.02.16). This Stock more you will find. Try.
Try Rrexus Rom it is ok.
