Hey,
can anyone port the Galaxy S3 addon package for Galaxy Nexus to make it compatible with our Defy?
[ADDON] Samsung Galaxy S3 Addon including TouchwizUX [CM9, AOKP, SlimICS]
I flashed the Galaxy Nexus version and basically it worked but the icons are still the same (in settings too), it crashed sometimes.. I think it's not fully compatible with our Defy.
But TouchWiz is very smooth!!
So can anyone do it?
Did you tried the Galaxy S/Nexus S version??
Galaxy Nexus is xhdpi (if i'm not wrong), and our defy is hdpi, so the more situable version might be the Galaxy S/Nexus S one... it could remain unstable tough...
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667051
Just flash it. It's working perfectly!
Here's the direct-link: http://www.mediafire.com/?r9zgl68tzbdc331
Yeah it works ! =)
how can i remove this mod?

Nandroid backup before you flash it
Nope! It makes a flashable backup zip automatically when you flash!
Just read the "installer messages" in cwm when u flash, and you'll see that it creates a backup zip under "UniversalFlasher" on your sd-card to revert the changes.
...is it only me or didn't it restore Trebucket? :-/

This is crap-ware. The only good thing in the whole pack is the Launcher and it's available outside this pack, too, so I'm totally restoring this automatically created flashable restore.zip hoping that it will work.
Why I hate it? It installed 20 apps. It deleted system ringtones to put it the S3 ones. Can't see why, it's not like they need 6GB of space for that. CM9 ringtones are 10 times better, anyway. Icons are fugly and if those are the actual S3 icons... lol
I just hope this restore.zip will work.
Sorry for the hate speech, but I am pissed

I just got my galaxy s 2 today n beim using it fr a few hours. Came from the nexus one n im missing pure android feel to apps.
I also cant seem to figure out how to get the dictionary working on the samsung keyboard or swype n i seem to miss the old keyboard layout too.
Is it just a simple case of finding the apk n installing it?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Gingerbread keyboard:
Search for "Keyboard from Android 2.3" in the Market.
is it reliable though? do you know from where i can get the actual one?the official one?
Sorry can't test it, my S2 is still on its way :-(
But I read about it and afaik it's ok.
I don't know if there is an "official" gingerbread keyboard for the S2, I think the one in the market is the best you can get.
Don't sue me if it's not true - This is just based on my little research
I have the CM7 keyboard as I much prefer it thanks to the long press delay option that the normal 2.3 KB does not have.
Just pull the apk from the CM7 ROM zip and install using the SGS file manager, simples

It's in system/app/LatinIME.apk

found it..but ended up using the Keyboard for Android 2.3 from the market because the keys in that are bigger!
Do you find that you don't get the dictionary come up in the email program though? It works in Handcent SMS, but not in email for me... (when using the market GB Keyboard I mean)

Hi
I don't think it is an official version rather it should be a mod version. I am using it for the last one week from the time i had S II and it works fine for me.

I installed the CM7 KB but I can't get the haptic feedback to work.
How did you manage this?
when i installed the CM7 keyboard, when i switch to landscape it cuts off the area where you would normally see the typed words, this is not good.
any way to shrink down the size, or get rid of the line with the extra characters?
Hey,
I was wondering if it was possible to install stock ICS on the Galaxy S 3, while keeping new useful Samsung's functionalities (S-Beam, All Share Play, Smart Stay, Direct Call, Smart Alert, Tap to Top, Popup Play, S-Voice, …).
Actually, I would like to feel I'm on ICS on my GS3, and not on a Gingerbread-styled TouchWiz. I know I could install a third party launcher, but it customizes only the launcher, and not the status bar or the Settings for example.
Thanks !
CM-Zoom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698273 is probably the closest ROM out there atm, its Samsung ROM with a bunch of Cyanogen stuff included.
I dont know of any AOSP-based ROMs that can run the Samsung app suite yet.

Most Samsung features depend on the TW framework. So few things will probably never work on AOSP based roms. However, for a lot of the features you named, there are alternatives. For instance, pop up play isn't a Samsung specific feature. But overall, what you're asking for will not work. Maybe in time, but I wouldn't get your hopes up...
Mmmh...
Unfortunately, I am not so surprised by your answers
And what about theming ? Is it possible to create a theme like this one and install it on the original Samsung ROM ?

Why don't you use that theme?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
It's written "The Theme is just for deodexed Rom's and is tested on Omega V3-V5!". Is the stock Samsung ROM deodexed ? Even if I am a developer, I dont know much about Android development
If it turns out to be deodexed, I could adapt his project to my needs (as said before, I don't know too much but it's a good way to learn !)
Oh, and forgot something in my initial post :
What bothers me in TouchWiz is replaced apps like Calendar and Contacts. This cannot be solved by theming. Is it possible to install these separately ?
I know I am a little picky and want the best of the two worlds, but isn't that the strength of Android ?

You can install any replacement app you want. Some of them might rely on a certain framework though (e.g. Cyanogenmod) and might not work. But any replacement app from the Play Store should be fine.

Of course, but what about stock ICS applications I am used to use ? Isn't it possible to "extract" them from original ICS ?
ICS (afaik) requires vendors to include the original framework and theming so that apps don't break on heavily modified phones.
The goo.im stock apps should work, but create a nandroid backup before attempting to flash it through CWM
http://goo.im/gapps
You most likely want the following:
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
Ok. So ICSwiz + goo.im apps should do the trick.
I won't try it right now due to a busy schedule, but maybe in one week or so.
I will post it there my results, in case anyone is interested.
Thanks for your replies

Download the CM9 Rom and replace the desired apps in /system/app.
Make sure you remove the samsung counterpart, e.g. if you want the original calendar, remove SecCalendar (or something) and calendarprovider, add original calendar and calendarprovider.
Don't be stupid and only replace what you really want!
THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR PHONE, CONTACTS AND DOWNLOAD!
There are many threads where they offer a black google apps pack, search for yourself if interested.
Hi ppl, I'm looking for something different for my s2...
Note: Please don't advice to root my phone.

Have you thought about trying MIUI? You can basically customize anything and everything
EDIT: why dont you want to root your phone?
Roms are the way to go along with custom launchers and themes. Btw i feel this is in the wrong section

I second that, however if youre not looking for a new rom you could always try another launcher like go ex or adw launcher, or even flash the galaxy s3 launcher

If u have android version over 4.0 u should try downloading Apex Launcher!
Hello guys,
I am looking for Jelly Bean ROM ( I mean JB look, i don`t like samsung overlay on android) but with all special functions of Samsung Galaxy s 3 such as S Voice, Smart Stay and touch options( zooming with two fingers on picture in gallery etc.) I spent whole day on searching but didn`t find any maybe looking in wrong place? or just doesn`t exist?
Also i would like to add that it isn`t my very beginig on flashing roms. Previously I had HTC Desire HD with plenty roms tried.
Please help
Basics including rom list .

AOKP /AOSP are non Samsung roms

I would suggest a custom deodexed sammy rom (wanam, omega etc) with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730397 and nova or apex launcher! Thats as close as you can get.

And does the "pan to move icons" works? I have already found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886332 MS Team HD 5.0 and it doesn`y support it but just it so it`s very acceptable. Another thing, but propably in every rom, lack of S Planner widget.
Would totally love this combination as well. Mainly so I can keep WiFi tethering which Vanilla JB ROMs don't have.
Nice to hear that I`m not alone
S Planner and other samsung applicatins might be in the rom, depending if the author put it in or not. I can not give you that specific advice because I am using cm10. So you gotta check some roms out and see whats in there.
You also have the option to flash deodexed stock rom and then vertumus theme, so you got the complete Samsung stuff. Here you get the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704185
Oh and perhaps also check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911572 Has the JB look out of the box
http://galaxys3.roms-db.com/ also very neat when trying to find a suiting rom!
Apex or Nova launcher with holo locker.

Hi Ravi, Thanks for the message and glad u well! The S5 Launcher is great but I meant the launcher with magazine style tiles - http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...-off-on-the-Galaxy-TabPRO-and-NotePRO_id52203
The S5 doesnt seem to come with it, I know we can have pull up but I wanted the good looking Tile effect Widgets and thought a port might work better than a theme

its too much laggy... too much means its totally unresponsive sometimes.
thats why we stopped.
as 4.4.2 came first we only wanted that launcher badly and madly
as s5 leaks werent there at that time.
maybe if somebody interested it can be ported again.
but if somebody is up to the task.
but for end users forget about it.
wont work good if not extensive work is done on it.
thats why s5 launcher is preferrable and it doesnt lag.
