I have seen many devs use the reverse engineered code of some oem launchers and mixed it with some other apps to give the same effect..
Can we use some code and create a launcher based on the code of S8?

I don't think this can work, touchwiz requires touchwiz framework, aosp based Roms do not use that framework. Whether touchwiz can be reverse engineered, not very likely seeing as no one has even attempted it before even though touchwiz has been around a long time now.

Then why don't someone start? I mean, we could port Sony apps right? Sir, I mean that we can use the blurry effect and many other features on our other devices by using these apps.. I think no one ever attempted before because TouchWiz wasn't worth it. But now...

Apps and framework are 2 completely different things, a framework is the underlying structure, an app us just a single entity, it's fat easier to port an app than to port a framework, and plus people move to aosp to get away from manufacturer specific framework like miui and touchwiz, makes no sense to port it.

But Sir I feel that Samsung Launcher and music player are two great apps... Only if someone ported it.. Thanks anyway.

I don't think you quite understand the complexities of it all, but you know maybe one day someone will, don't expect it to be any time soon though.

Anyone think there would be a point in making a petition and sending it to Uncle Sammy, so that maybe in the future touchwiz would be an OPTION rather than mandatory?
I kinda think that samsung won't really listen but I'd be willing to give it a try.
Personally I'm going to be using LauncherPro on my Epic, but it would be nice to just shut off the touchwiz UI without rooting and flashing something new.

Unlikely..their goal is to try to improve TouchWiz till the point people like it..these kind of things heps sets manufacturers apart to the average consumer...overall though its not like TouchWiz 3.0 is bad..if anything most people hate it because either they are used to Sense, think it looks like an iphone, or used a previous TouchWiz and didn't like it...if you set this aside its pretty compatible to Sense, some even like it better...
But again..unlikely..
I don't see any problem with Touchwiz, I think it looks awesome, and if someone has a problem with the performance at all, they can just get a different phone. Touchwiz 3.0 has a ton of features that are just great to have, anyway, couldn't you just run a rom if you don't like it?

I doubt..that would undermine what Android is...remember Android isn't only used in cellphones...its used in car systems and other stuff..Google can't tell vendors to stop loading custom UIs...it would be silly...

You can also just install another launcher and set it as default. LauncherPro, ADW, aHome... etc.

They didn't say they plan to stop/ban custom UI's.
They said they plan to make custom UI's unnecessary.
I don't think they have to get rid of touchwiz.. just make it optional. Rooting is pretty simple and i'll probably do it, but at the same time, why dont they give the user a choice? Like I said, i'll be using LauncherPro on mine, but I think the gesture would be nice on Sammy's part.

That's because Samsung uses TouchWiz, HTC uses Sense, Motorola uses Blur... it's their version. What you're asking is Honda to sell you a Civic but give you the option to use a Corolla engine... it can be done, but it must be swapped (rooted)
In my opinion TouchWiz > Sense and MotoBlur it's not that bad and honestly if you really don't like it just root the phone and install a custom ROM why petition over something so cosmetic you can petition for a GPS fix if you want to do something productive.

+1 ... except im Sense>TouchWiz/Blur
Stock AndroidUI > TouchWiz/Sense/Blur
Moto is apparently dropping blur though. If only they would drop that stupid damn bootloader now.

Got proof? Because I don't think that's going to happen.
Gingerbread will improve on Android's basic UI. The way buttons\menus look. The status bar. Etc. You bet your ass manufacturers are still going to load on their custom UIs. HTC has already said that they will include sense when they update their phones to Android 3.0.
I'm going to have to agree with everyone else. If you don't like TW3, install Launcherpro or ADW. Wait for a custom rom which gets rid of TW3 (like senseless roms for EVO). It's only a matter of time before the Cyanogen team puts out a 100% AOSP rom for it anyway. But for those who don't liek rooting... Launcherpro.

The proof is in the videos google made when they were showing off Android 2.2... they said it themselves in the video, I'd search for it but the video is long as hell
see this thread
thought I'd update this thread to point to another more recent thread: How to disable touchwiz
To be honest, Touchwiz is my favorite UI I've used.
Thats above Sense, MotoBlur, Stock, etc.
Always have been a fan of the color themes, love the lockscreen, the dialer, and even coming to like the ****ty horizontal app drawer.
If Samsung can improve Touchwiz to have the media player and other features that are on the other Galaxies, it would be even better!
I was going to say, it's easy enough to turn off. Yeah, I don't care for it, but it's not a big deal to make the vanilla launcher the default one. You don't have to install or remove anything, or need root.

Nah, won't work for the same reasons that Sense will never work for the Galazy S line. Just compatibility issues.

Thats not true. the dependencies can be added the same way they are take out.
It would just take alot of time, work, and research to get it working.
You would have to know what files are needed, and where they go.
Also, kernel compatability may also be an issue, as you see that there are certain kernels for AOSP, Sense, GB, etc...

Technically it's possible, but practically it's impossible. The amount of work and "hacking" necessary would not be worth it, especially considering how few HTC users would probably want TouchWiz.

Not even close to impossible.
Anyways, the question was if its possible. The answer is yes.
Will it happen? Not likely lol because its way too much work and like you said, teejay, there really is no demand for it.
i found app called rom porter in some thread
and i did manufacturer port with that of s4 stock rom no mods nothing will the port that i made will boot because i'm afraid if that bricked my phone
and dont know anything about porting or someother stuff
but is it safe to flash that rom if something goes wrong what can i do please
i want s4 camera basically all those features of s4 camera so is there any other way i can get that on my aosp rom
and as a base i have used our stock google aosp rom no mod nothing
I guess No. As it requires a different set of framework.
Off-topic: I hope people here don't eat you alive but sadly the most common answer to such threads on xda is: "What a loser, why buy Nexus..Go get a Samsung.. Huh"
s4 camera hardware is completely different than the nexus 4 camera hardware, how do you expect the s4 camera on a nexus 4?? and no, porting the s4 rom onto the n4 isnt as easy as an app, theres much more to it, especially from a completely different phone with completely different drivers/framework/hardware.

Tough one bro. However you can get feature some what like the Drama shot but this "removing moving object".. I don't think so you can get it on any App.

Clone Camera Clone Camera. It's the best cloning App out there. And I have used MANY. Almost all available on app store. See in the attached SC.
Not a full port, but most touchwiz ui elements have been brought over. Check it out here: http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/03/twnexusui-rom-for-nexus-4-touchwiz-look.html?m=1

Nobody EVER ported an ios rom to samsung or any android device !! That roms were customized to look like the ios (they put ios launcher, ios keyboard and the other apps that you can find on the play store)
What stopped them? Well since that its easy to make ur android phone look like any other phone by customization.

Well if they did it back then, it looks like they stopped, or never started it for the S5, so you'll just have to customise it yourself

Get Miui . However it's running on 4.4 Android version.
|your welcome|
Ive seen other open source UIs like the current one that we have in the G7 pie and was wondering if there are any open source ones that have more options to it. Mainly right now I am just looking for a better way to organize things (folder in the app drawer) and some other few minor things. I would be nice to get rid of some of the excess bloat with a custom ui too, again if possible.
there are no custom roms except project treble which is too buggy for every day usage. all I can recommend is edxposed with gravitybox. you will need to be rooted and install TWRP first.
