Won't work. TouchWiz is not compatible with AOKP. If you want TouchWiz, just install a TouchWiz based ROM. There are dozens out there.

That is not entirely correct.
you can actually install a port of the touchwiz 4 on any custom rom aokp/aosp.
Just download this and install. I guarantee it will work. i have tested it on my own SGS 2.

If you dont want to flash it, you can also extract the apk from the zip and then install as usual

Interesting. I stand corrected.
I still don't get why you would do this though...

Yes
Maybe he wants the tweak settings that aokp has, or just a light rom with touchwiz without any bloat.
I wonder too why he wants it.

S-Apps for AT&T Galaxy Note

Hey guys. I am using the Padawan ROM and it does not come with S Memo and S Note. I want to learn how to install these apps on custom ROM's that do not include the S-Apps. I tried flashing someone's ZIP and changing the permissions using Root Explorer and it didn't work. I also tried adding the apk's to the system app folder manually and changing the permissions. This was also a no go. Has anyone been able to successfully do this on custom ROM's that do not have the S-apps? If so, can you guys shoot me a bit of help?
If you were unable to successfully install the apks manually, I would recommend that you could:
A) restore your backup of your stock ROM (I'm assuming that you would be clever enough to create a CWM or TWRP backup before flashing a custom ROM),
B) use Titanium Backup to backup the S-Apps (really you should backup all your apps just to be safe),
C) flash the custom ROM of your choice and restore your apps using Titanium Backup. However please note that you can only restore the S-Apps to Touchwiz based ROMs.
I hope this is helpful for you!

I've seen many developers write that the s-pen apps require TouchWiz framework ( i.e., s-pen will not work on any CM or other non-TW based ROMs).
Here's hoping someone find a work around.
Da g has successfully ported hovering point in a couple of his custom ROMs that are mixed of different bases loaded
I'm also very interested in seeing the touchwiz/pen based features (snote, smemo and related features) in JB. I'm running the paranoidandroid hybrid cm10 ROM (love it so far!) and these capabilities would really round it out for me.
S-apps are TW dependent, and require the Touchwiz framework to function....
We may see JB TW based roms in the future that contain these APK's, but until an official JB update is sent to the note 1...(if ever) we are forced to use a TW rom (UCLF6)....or a play store variant of the S-apps,....g
Papyrus
I installed Papyrus to get some of that capability back. I read about it somewhere here. It has just been ported to GNote in the last little while I believe. projectpapyrus dot com

The Padawan ROM is ICS based but the author pulled out those apps (along with many other apps). But he saved off all the extracted apps which can be found on a link he provided in the OP (the server has been down lately though).
So go to that link, download the 2 apps u want then reboot into recovery and install the zips. That's it.

Im running the same rom and If u looking for the 2 S-pens apk I got them right before the site went down. Just injected the two apk into into the rom using your recovery(CWM/TWRP) using install zip

[Q] DNA - is it deodexed or not?

Hi Guys
The stock ROM that come with the Verizon DNA, is it deodexed or not?
Thanks
No, but you are able to disable the apps. So it helps, if you don't want to root.

So if I need/want a deodexed device I need to root it, recovery installed and some other/custom ROM installed, am I right?

Correct. Most (if not all) factory default roms are odexed. As for installing a custom rom, I'd look at Supercharged Hatka if you want a stock look with tweaks. If you want an AOSP looking rom, go to Battery Plus (Something along the lines of that... Forgot the exact name)
Although once CM10 is working fully, I'd 100% recommend that to anyone!

OK, Thanks for the info
I would also take a look at Viper if you like to get into deep customization of your phone. Lots of fun stuff to play with in that ROM.

[Q] Widgets from Touchwiz 3.0

Hi! Is it possible to install and use old touchwiz 3.0 (I9000 / S8500) widgets like Buddies Now and Feed and Update, Birthday Countdown etc on the latest official Android 4.1.2 for S II?
And can I use old style lock screen with puzzle in some way (not necessarily)?
Thanks!
Someone?..
You want to install tw from the i9000?
Why? And no I can't see that working at all. You can do a nandroid bk up and try but do let us know :thumbup:
Edit: do you mean only the apks? Not tw as I first thought.

Yes I mean that I want to install apk's widgets from TW3.0 (Buddies now etc) to newer TW.
Are they supported to each other? Is it possible? :3
Best bet would be is to bk up you're rom with a good old nandroid and then try. It won't hurt to try it out. Or give me a link and I'll try. I don't think it will work still as framework is different. I'll look for the modded apks if there are any as I'm interested in this

actually this is the main reason for the existence of roms!
most of the sammy based roms come with touch wiz but it is safe to remove once you installed another launcher (this is absolutely necessary(!)) but it does not use any resources when deactivated so this should be enough.
if you want to have a concrete recommendation I would definitely name the great NeatRom! You have the option to flash it and leave every checkbox in aroma unticked. I guarantee you, this will be absolutely slim and debloated! Have fun
Cheers
Without Touchwiz ?! Touchwiz can't be deleted so any ROM you flash to your phone is either based on an edited version of Touchwiz, or based on AOSP (Stock Android).
If you don't want bloatware or the Touchwiz UI go for Cyanogenmod, otherwise there're plenty of ROMS based on Touchwiz except without all of the bloatware and useless crap.

[Q] Unable to mod my stock rom via Gravity Box

I am facing several prolems in my XOLO A500s ROM (MTK 6572)
I have deodexed my stck rom + rooted but i am unable to implement the Gravity BOX fetures
Like: i can't get the data speed monitor mod,nor the clock mod and many more.
But there's custom rom which has this fuctionality to apply all the gravity box mods.
Is there something i need to change in my stock rom.
Please guide me through this.:highfive:
NOTE: I don't want to use the custom ROM because they have some problems in them some of them don't have gps on/off,another have the 1 MP camera insted of 5MP.
Another show internel memory as SD card and SD Card as internel.

It is simple, nothing will work if the ROM is not close to AOSP.
In order to get GB to work, you will need to ditch your stock ROM and install a custom ROM which are extremely AOSP-based (CM won't get it work too).
If you insist, then you can do only nothing as the dev behind GB already stresses that GB are for AOSP ROMs and he will never ever interested on giving unsupported devices any support
Unless you're so desperate for it
You can learn compiling and decompiling so that you can grab some GB source code and make it work on your stock ROM.

I tried to to replace all the files(/system/app and /system/framework) inside the stock rom with a working custom rom(in which GB was full functioning) but when i replaced th the device was working as it was supposed to work but still GB was not working after this method

That's not how custom ROM works. And what you have done is seriously wrong
Flashing a completely new ROM is better than the unsafe file overwriting inside /system/xxxxx . Though it might be working in your eyes, however I am pretty sure there are many errors in the logcat since you have mixed up your ROM with unfamiliar files.
Flash a custom ROM that is AOSP or code a new app that does what GB does for your device
Please take note of the above paragraph. That's the choices you have.
I was using GB before. Since I tried CM, and loved it, I have been known that GB won't be supported on CM. What I did was I completely abandon GB. I even have donated to such app. I feel sad, but yea life must go on
