Hi guys.
I'm actually running ICS on my galaxy ace and it's damn cool. I use it all day long for texting. Before switching to ICS I was using GoSMS or Handcent. But the ICS sms app is sooooo smooth and so beautiful - really clear. The contact picture in the notification is a very good thing for me too. That's why I don't want to change for GoSMS or Handcent. But emojis are really cool too, and I'm searching if there's a way to implement them in a modded ICS sms app. It would be really cool.
Sorry guys if my question is dumb
Cheers from France.

That would be cool! I am pretty sure we don't currently have one of these, but it would be a great idea!

Some modders/devs should work on it. I think a lot of people would appreciate it and be thankful. I hope it will come some day!

Anyone able to get the stock TW lockscreen in CM7 yet?
It was really about the only thing I liked in TW and I rooted the phone the night I got it, but I've been thinking I'd like to try and run the stock lockscreen from TW if possible.
So if anyone is able to pull it for me I'd really appreciate it!
Wait.... You actually like the tacky, looks like it was designed by a young child swipe the picture across lock screen?!
nothing from samsung will work on cm7

i love how people enjoy laughing at others for using something and dont even suggest something else to replace it. least you could do while making fun of someone for liking a lockscreen is offer a better alternative.
thank you for your "contributions" to this community.

I like it too. But I prefer the glass lockscreen from the captivate. The stock android lockscreen its so 2010. Drag right to unlock, boo

You can install Lockbot, but only Lockbot pro version supports samsung lockscreen..
If you didnt know, 4shared.com is very informative..

Thanks for the info guys.
And it's not that I'm in love with the Samsung lockscreen, but ive been looking at the same old boring lockscreen ever since my original nexus one and I'm a little tired of it by now.

Handcent by far, it's the best of the ones I've checked, it has a lot of great customizable options to change sounds, light notifications and images for background per person. Its very good im glad I downloaded and installed this one.
gosms is better than handcent but i hate the lags
I've flashed around a bit with different roms and as much as I enjoy touchwiz, I love the stock mms app that comes in AOKP/ vanilla android ICS and was just wondering if anyone had made any type of universal port for touchwiz roms that work just as smoothly? Saw a couple on the play store but they were total rubbish and full of bugs. gonna stay on AOKP in the meantime. Just curious if anyone else shared the thought

I did see that but I read the actual ability to receive and download MMS is broken in it. And I'm not knocking the Samsung mms, I just personally prefer the overall UI and feel of the stock 4.0 one. Sammys is great though.

Serendipity Rom has Samsung stock feel with aosp as well. I know he uses the mms /sms app in his Rom yer looking for.

That's the problem. Even if you get a compatible full asop mms, you have to keep the default samsung app. If you delete it, it will cause problems and FCs.

Thank you phalanx, I hadn't realized serendipity incorporated aosp apps into touchwiz. That does further spark my curiosity as to if It's possible to pull the AOSP mms app as a stand alone apk that I could keep and install no matter what ROM I switch to since serendipity makes it seem possible if I just disable the stock mms app.

Yer welcome and i wish it was that easy. But Im sure he had to do some work to get it to work properly. I would PM him and ask if he'd be willing to share some info with ya. He's a nice guy.

you could theme the Samsung mms.apk to look like the AOSP mms.apk if nothing else, if all you're looking for is the aesthetics of the AOSP mms.apk
Good point, jrod ! That's actually what i like about it is how it looks. I really kinda despise the stock Samsung sms app

is the samsung mms the iphone style one?

How do you do this? I'm the same way as jrod. Love what TouchWiz offers aside from the messaging app. Favour the look of stock ICS one instead. (Because I like the pictures inside the message thread)

Simple way would be to change your pngs in your drawable-hdpi folder and change some xmls as well, not really all that difficult once you get started
Edit: sorry, completely forgot that Samsung's has text bubbles, so it would get a little trickier, I'll look into it
Edit: So, I've been real busy with school and stuff, so I haven't been able to look at the apk. Also, I don't have a Samsung Mms.apk since I like the AOSP feel of ICS better and have been on AOKP since it came out. So in trying to find a Samsung Mms.apk in our dev threads, I found that Serendipity 9 has an AOSP Mms.apk in it and is TW-based. It also has a lot of other AOSP apks in it, and it looks nice and runs pretty well. (flashed it to see everything first-hand). That might be an answer

Hey everyone, need some advice. I hate touchwiz and all the carrier crap so I ALWAYS use AOSP ROMs. I love AOKP and it is working perfectly on my ATT SGS3, but since it is stock android based I don't have any of the features that were part of the reason I wanted this phone. Namely, svoice and the sharing stuff. What rom would you recommend? I use nova launcher so I guess that could help me with the touchwiz crap, but just want some feedback. Thanks everyone.

At this point, your best bet would be to selectively disable any apps you don't like. You can do it through Settings > Applications. If you don't like the launcher, there are plenty of replacements around. The default one for CM9 is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410674
That's what I'm thinking. Too bad I don't have a backup of stock. Gonna go find the stock ROM I saw a thread with it earlier. Thanks.

I would go with aokp. I also liked some touchwizz features such as smart stay and the palm swiping. Aokp just is so much more customizable than stock and for me it runs super smooth. It's a trade off but I would go with aokp.

I prefer aokp, the only thing I miss is the camera, but everything else is good on aokp Imo

im on aokp now, i guess ill just go back and forth haha. the only thing that is annoying is that google wallet is working and i keep seeing this "modified apk" mentioned but i cant find it :/ i guess ill search harder. thanks for the quick input peeps
Hi,
Just a few questions. I've been using Omega for ages but I'm wanting a really fast streamline rom so I want whats similar to the OS on the Nexus 7. That being said, I'd still like a few features such as Smart Stay, S Beam and Allshare Cast. Ow and the toggles in the notification bar.
Just want a bit of advice on if this is out there.
Thanks in advance.
Simple answer.....no
You can get a smart stay type app in play store
To keep it simple and w/ the features you want, you best look for a slimmer stock rom. Maybe you should stick with Omega?
Shame
Thanks for the replies. Are these features not apks that I can add in afterwards??

they rely on the TW framework, so unfortunately not
