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.

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.

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

I Have asked in the past about using sammy based apk files on an AOKP/AOSP based rom. I have been cruising through different forums and have seen other devs and users able to close the gap between the two, being able to use AOSP apps on samsung and vice-versa, and with the AROMA installer i have seen options for which applications you would like to start with.
So in hopes that this will reach the eyes of an experienced dev or someone with more talent than I, I can find a possible solution.
The main apk i am trying to merge is the mms from samsung/touchwiz, call me crazy but i like the lay out of it, and do not find gosms very visually pleasing.
Thanks 1000 times in advance if anyone is able to give advice.:good:
it all depends on if the app you are trying to import has its base in the Samsung framework or not.

I think the short answer for that is a NO since I believe mms solely based on TW framework.
Rofl I said Samsung framework instead of touchwiz framework. I'm a goober. And tired.

Okay I am having a really hard time trying to figure out how to change the dialer from sense to aosp. I heard that joelz made a flash able zip back in the day but I can't find it. I thought it would be as easy as swapping a few apk's in system/app but apparently that's not the case. Can anyone help? Running slimrom btw.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I'm not an expert but I dont think its possible because of sense and the framework resources. Or you'll have to do a lot more than just swapping a few apk's.

While personally not a fan of the AOSP dialer, I'm a huge fan of the AOKP dialer (I also think the same one is used in CM9). It's simple, elegant, and has T9 searching built in.
The Sense one is laggy, bulky, and slow.

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I should have included this in the post so my apologies, but I don't think it's possible. Even if you replaced the APK with the stock or CM9 dialer, I think it would crash. HTC has heavily modified their Android source and framework so the HTC Dialer is deeply embedded in the ROM and can't be replaced.
With that said, you can get an APK from the market that will replace the dialer, but it's not a true dialer. It basically acts like a dialer then sends the dial commands through the phone's stock dialer. They're finnicky at best, usable at worst.
Just my opinion though, I may have some of the details wrong as I'm not a dev.
The only 2 things I wish I had when I was on Cyanogen was the Sense Dialer and Camera app...both are superior to AOSP (at least at that time).
Sense Dialer having the smart search is a godsend.

Newer Cyanogen (7.2 and up) has a modified AOSP dialer that integrates smart search. Very slick.

I'm surprised nobody has asked this! I tried out jellybeans rom and one thing I absolutely love on it is the stock mms app, but I can't put cleanrom down, its way too good! I'm trying to extract the MMS.apk from jellybeans but so far no luck finding the file. Any advice? The first thing I noticed when I got the Note 2 was how far behind the MMS app was in terms of looks and really just the fact that it only shows 3 messages at a time. Odd. But if I find a solution I'll post back.
Edit. Found it, its in jellybeans zip at /default/aomms but there is a framework.jar file I dont know where to put. And its missing secmms.apk.
Well guys I found the solution use the mms from the galaxy s3 jellybean thread and use xposed to make it 240 dpi.
Yeah dude I wasn't getting the Samsung messaging app either. I tried Jelly Beans ROM like you did and was happy to see it but like you Clean ROM is just too amazing. I may have to try this out but for now handcent is working well enough for me. Thanks for posting!

I'm assuming I'm not alone here, as I have seen many people across the forums saying that they have either already gone to, or are thinking of flashing an AOSP ROM, and are worried about losing all of those Samsung Goodies (Like hover, air gestures, eye control, TW Camera, etc.) They generally also seem to want the customizability of a custom rom, as well. So, let's discuss how people have gone about getting that JB feel on a TW ROM.
The way I currently have this set up is with the Hyperdrive 5.7 ROM as a base. With just that, you get a smoother, faster, and enormously feature-packed TW ROM. The customization you can accomplish with this ROM is very impressive, especially considering it is TouchWiz. On top of this, I'm running - yep, you guessed it - Nova Launcher.
Nova Launcher is, in my opinion, the obvious choice for getting stock JB feel on any device. Nova allows the important customizations made to Hyperdrive to continue working, while adding the JB feel right on top. I've also run the script from within Hyperdrive to enable the Nexus 4 Softkeys, and I've shut off the lights on the capacitive keys on the device itself. This makes them completely invisible, so the device looks much more like a Nexus device, if you like that sort of thing.
What do you guys think? What other options are out there? I'm looking to give some insight to users who may want to get this type of feel on their S4, while also getting some feedback or better/different ways of achieving this. Good luck, and happy theming!

Why don't you just go check out the ROM thread yourself before completely discounting it? No, it does not have the white dialer. It's very well themed and runs great.

Yeah. So the dialer and incoming calls are both part of the TW base. Nova launcher is just that; a home/launcher replacement. Just as you said. Though I am sure there are theming options for these things through third party methods, since many people dislike TW appearances.
I am just trying to get more of an AOSP look/feel, doesn't need to be completely coated in JB.

I fully understood the point of the thread which is why I suggested Eclipse ROM. It's Touchwiz based and includes all the Touchwiz gimmicks as well as the TW camera. It's most certainly NOT an AOSP ROM as you seem to think it is. It's just a very well themed Touchwiz ROM.

When you say Stock Android look and feel do you mean AOSP?
Hyperdrive has a lot of options for pretty much every apsect of the rom
Eclipse S4 TW Edition is basically a TW rom with the look and feel of AOSP. Those are the two best in my opinion. If you're really trying to get down to nearly pure AOSP programs and stuff you can check out Andybone's Barebones Rom too. It just depends on how AOSP like you wanna go.

An AOSP theme is coming thanks to nito for giving me the permission to use his work.
Tried your Rom, was great but I didn't like how the Rom settings say there is an aosp lock screen but nothing happens when I toggle it. Also you need to add a default music player, be it Samsung's or play music. Also hated how it doesn't restore all apps, had to manually do that.

Not ROM related.
also there is NOTHING wrong with the AOSP lock screen,
and Samsung Music is found in Aroma, choose hub..
I suggest doing a FULL CLEAN install, and NOT installing anything outside my thread.
I can only assume you flashed an android.policy.jar and that broke the AOSP lock screen. User Error.
Also I don't include ANY app you can download from the play store.. why would I?
waste of space.
Everything you hate about my ROM can all be solved by fixing your user errors, and a little research.
