[Q] [REQ] Nexus4 TouchWiz5

Sorry that I post here, I dont have enough posts yet to post in developer threads.
Is it possible to port TW5 to the Nexus4 ?
I dont like the ICS (TW4) one. 5 Looks better with the colors.
Would be nice if someone could do it.

what are you talking about? Nexus does not use TW. The nexus has a pure Android launcher

Touchwiz is awesome

Because its a great phone and I like it even if it doesn´t have TW
Then I´ll just wait if someone makes a TW5 port or S3 Theme.
I didn´t want to flash a Custom ROM thats why I asked, I am sure I´ll be able to use TW with CyanogenMOD ?
Anyway, thanks for your answers
//EDIT I informed myself a bit, I didnt know TW is a formware, I just wanted the launcher/theme

reason i bought nexus is to rid of touchwhiz.. who wants that kiddish firmwarE?

Ooooof! Naughty Naughty

you can try to find a touchwiz theme for a third party launcher like "go launcher" in the play store

Is this a TROLL THREAD?

Thread moved to Q&A as is a question and even if you did have enough posts you should never post question threads in development. Please don't disrespect other members and be abusive as this is uncalled for. Some people are just not as knowledgeable as others and we were all new once so if you don't have anything useful to say, please say nothing at all.
Thanks

Yes its been confirmed it is.

I already saw there is a request for sense. No motoblur love yet?

A touchwiz rom for a LG phone?
But no seriously, touchwiz as well as HTC sense, lg ui, motoblur are all closed source and very difficult to port. On Galaxy Nexus, there was a skin pack of Touchwiz on top of stock Android.
For people bashing op, android is all about options. If a developer wants to devote his time into porting it then so be it. Nothing is stopping him. If android was one way if thinking then we wouldn't be any different than the you know community.
Realistically, getting a stable touchwiz rom isn't worth it and it won't happen most likely. If you like touchwiz then get a galaxy s3 or a note 2

The launcher and some of the framework was ported to the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 by a developer called madphone, he even made a ROM that was fully themed.
He's also ported LG launcher and framework to the Galaxy Nexus.
Evilisto has ported the LG lock screen to the Galaxy Nexus too.
Yes OP it's possible and you're not wrong for asking, it's your phone so run what you like on it and never mind everyone else.
Best bet to see TW5 on the Nexus 4 is to contact madphone and see if he's interested in porting it, maybe he can tell you if the mods he's got out will work right off the bat on the Nexus 4.
Do a search for him and you'll find his threads. Or Google TW5 for Galaxy Nexus, a few months back a few big Android sites wrote an article about his work.

All I want is that I can organize my homescreen by pinching it with two fingers and removing that circle in the middle to open the menu, I´d also like to have folders in my menu.
Thats all. I dont want to use third party apps, I had goLauncher on my GalaxyS+ but I had problems so I want it to be fully implemented into my OS/ROM.
Maybe I´ve missunderstood what touchwiz is,
but I am used to this layout and I like it.

Touchwiz is the framework for all Samsung devices. It is the skin that they used. Some prime elements of Touchwiz is the notification bar, icon skins being in squares, home screen of square icons, memo, smart stay, etc.

Ok thank you for explaining me, I think I´ll get used to ICS, but it looks so 'sad' because its so dark and bluish. Maybe I´ll find some nice mods in the Themes Section soon.

It's what stock Android looks like. It's called Holo. I actually like it a lot and prefer it over TouchWiz launcher.
you can google for 'touchwiz launcher galaxy nexus port' and try installing the APK and see if it works (dont flash any zips though, at least i wouldnt try it)

[PORT] Touchwiz Coming Soon...

Hey Peeps! What up ? I Am going to PORT Touchwiz to Moto G, Well atleast i am going to try. I am going to start working as soon as Samsung starts rolling KitKat Update.Once it got booted i will create a thread in Android Development.
The reason for creating this post is to aware people about my work & Of course to grab some attention.
Why Touchwiz ?
Well, There are already some Manufacturers PORTs being Develop.So, I ended up this.
I might some help in Future ? With Tests,Logcats,Kernels,Boot,Etc......Are you up ?
Let's see how many people supports me..
Thank You!!
(Please don't hate me for Choosing Touchwiz,There's no other UI to Port ​

Just a quick design/typographic suggestion for you, friend: this post is not readable when someone is using the XDA Premium app with dark background settings. Your black font color does not contrast well with the app's background.
In order to reach a wider audience, you might want to remove the color-equals-black tags from your OP.
Good luck with your project...

Port galaxy s5 touchwiz, not the other ones

@J.K pls let us know about your past experience/work on porting
if you are new to this porting stuff. then all the best for your work
i would like to mention this you are over confident..

not going to be rude or anything but I just find touchwiz really ugly. it doesn't look nice

Agreed, good luck with your port but i'll never touch something with touchwiz.

Why would you pick the most ugliest version of Android to replace the beautiful vanilla version on the Moto G? Most Samsung owners who root their phones switch to AOSP based ROMs as soon as possible. And here you are trying to bring this monstrosity into your life? Why? Why? Why?
Just messing with you dude. All the best with the port.

I dont see the problem with that launcher? Maybe its because i use Android L Wallpaper. Only thing i noticed is that that folder is ugly.

First of all, there is no reason for discouraging remarks to members who want to contribute to the community. If you don't like what they are doing, nobody is forcing you to flash it on your phone. Move along and get on with your day.
Secondly, we do not allow placeholder threads here. When the work is complete, feel free to post it. For this reason I'm closing this thread.
Thanks.

Xperia based Rom-just an idea

I switched from Xperia M2 to Motorola moto g 2
I found that Motorola has poor ui and camera
I searched for ports but non worked - except album, Walkman & movies
.
I found a kitkat based Rom for moto g 1st called "Xperia ZG3" it had almost every thing Xperia phone had even the camera.....
.
.
Is it possible that any developer make us lollipop based Rom just like that or even a camera port?
I'm sure it's gonna be awesome Rom...
.
I hope any developer gets interested & sorry for speaking English badly like this

I'll give it a shot.
The first Moto g might of used a sony sensor,, but anyway I'll have a go.

Motorola has poor UI? You mean AOSP has poor UI?
I think Xperias UI is such a piece of ****. But hey you can always install custom launchers and use their theme.

It's good that I had this attention ..... Hope to see your ROM soon

Something may help
I found this cyber-shot camera port
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/themes-apps/mod-cyber-shot-t2963997
Someone on the 2nd page of thread said it worked on cm12
I found other ports but all had bugs
Status bar, action bar, ui is different from the one I had on my Xperia device
See attachment
.............
On the thread that had Xperia apps for cm12 some comments mentioned the camera the developer replay was that is possible if he had a working framework port
...............
I hope this helps in making our moto g camera port

Stabilizer on custom ROMS ?

Hi
I've noticed that on custom roms like CM, there's no camera stabilization
I can get it only thanks to Cinema-FV, but I don't want this app
How can I enable it ? Build.prop tweaks ?
Thanks in advance

devs don't have access to the source code for Samsung's camera drivers so the full extent of it's capabilities can never be harnessed on custom roms not based on touchwiz.
if you want a great camera you'll probably need to dual boot with a small debloated tw rom...

Thanks for answering !
I know that Samsung doesn't share his camera driver, but, other apps like Camera FV-5 can make a kind of software-stabilization
How ? Any chance to get that stabilizer by decompiling camera's apk ?

iOS-alike ROM for i9505

Hello,
this is my first post here. I am currently using a CM12.1 ROM and TWRP recovery for my i9505, and I was happy, for the most part. Now, before I get to the topic:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I AM VERY WELL AWARE THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE ORIGINAL iOS ON ANY ANDROID PHONE OR OTHERWISE. I AM ALSO NOT LOOKING FOR LAUNCHERS.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry, I had to do it this way, or else someone is going to close my thread very, very soon.
So, what I am asking for/about is an iOS-like rom, I mean a heavily modified version of the stock Android (at least "heavily" in the esthetic part), like the one the Chinese guys use in their iPhone 6S clones (Video courtesy of EverythingApplePro: w ww.youtube .com/watch?v=pMKr8zUEUF0).
Is that possible, and if so, is it already available somewhere on another phone, and again if so, can any dev here please port it over to the S4 i9505 or possibly more versions of the phone?
Thank y'all who at least took this into consideration. EvESpirit, out.
P.S.: English is not my native language and as such, I am asking you to keep the laughts for yourself. Thanks

Your best option is probably a theme.

I think MIUI is probably your best rom for this if it's available for your device

First, believe it or not, I've already tried that. First thing that pops up for query "theme engine ios" is MIUI, which is not what I am looking for, as it tries to "make IOS in it's own style" (=not realistically looking iOS). Second - I wrote a million times that I am looking for a "ROM". Not a launcher, not a theme, not xposed module (if that is even a thing at all), but a ROM.
Anyways, thanks for your attempt.

It is, but as I stated, it is not what I am looking for. Graphically nor functionally.

Or maybe some apps that would change the look of your phone to become iOS-like. However, it would be resource-hungry. About apps that I'm mentioning, no idea on the app name.
