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

Hey there,
I'm a user of the Omega ROM (4.1.2) and I wish to get back the Samsung Task Manager on the device when I go into recent apps, as I find the amount of control I get lacking. This mod below does exactly what I want, but isn't installing via CWM due to the fact the app is designed for the Galaxy S.
Would anyone be able to help me out getting this onto my S3?
Thanks,

Right most button? There are no buttons on the recent app list on AOSP/AOKP. That's what I WANT it to have. It's on the standard ROM but not on CM10. It has been ported over to another CM10 device (Galaxy S) and I don't see why it couldn't be done with the S3.
It's a really useful feature, because the recent apps feature isn't always enough.
Oh you didn't mention aosp in op. The kill all button is there with aokp.

AOKP counts as CM10, right? I'm using a CM10 ROM, Omega. There is no such option to kill all apps or use a task manager in CM10.
Can someone please help me to figure out how to install a 5X6 or 5X5 TW Launcher on my Note? I've downloaded every SecLauncher2 for android and I've used root explorer to push them all thru system/apps, changed permissions etc. Nothing works on my end. It all force closes. I'm running AOCP 4.6. Is there something I'm missing? The other launchers work fine but I prefer TW Launcher. I've replaced the stock launcher and and when I reboot the phone, Touchwiz unfortunately stops not allowing me to access it. Any help would be appreciated. If even be willing to try a rom with that launcher already included. I'm desperate..lol

I do believe that there lib and framewrok files that you need also. It would have to be a modified launcher for sure to work on AOCP. Which ones have you tried already?
This is one the mods here. I'll send some others. I'm new to this so I'm sure I'm missing something.

Just install a new rom because obviously this one is not too stable on your phone. Or maybe factory reset your phone. Pull the battery out while it is on. Might help a little. If I helped, thank me.

First, the TouchWiz Launcher is a part of the TouchWiz framework of Samsung's semi-fork of Android. So getting a TouchWiz Launcher to work would mean running a stock based Samsung ROM. FlappJaxx's FJ-Build 12, Novena or BlackStar, for example, would be able to use the TouchWiz launcher because they are all based off the 4.0.4 Official TouchWiz ROM. It won't work on AOCP, because it is based of AOSP with CM and AOKP features.
Second, there is a work around to having the TouchWiz look on your phone while using AOCP 4.6. Download a Android stock based launcher; I prefer APEX, but I believe it will work with NOVA as well. While searching for the launcher in the Play Store, you can also go ahead and search for themes. Apex TouchWiz will more than likely yield the fastest result. Load the launcher up, go into settings and hit theme and then select TouchWiz and customize it from there. You will now have the look and "feel" of the TW Launcher without having constant foreclosures whenever you try to use it.

What you are attempting is difficult at best...
Touch wiz launchers are coded to rely on their dedicated framework found in Samsung TW roms.
The only method I'm aware of, to use the launcher, is by using the roms that include it.
There are several TW roms available, and they can be easily stripped down to a lean and effective build by simply using your favorite root explorer app.
Dumping the bloat is already done for you when using the Canadian versions of the TW build.
You can also use the N7005 builds we have too.
See the super everything thread in the general section, and I'm sure you will find a rom to suit your liking.
Read the threads carefully, as they include important information.
Enjoy, and happy flashing ....g
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!

What does the dialer look like? Still the ugly white?
What about incoming call screen?
Just changing the launcher doesn't make it AOSP themed.

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.

You and I have our wires crossed. I was responding to the OP, which references a combo of hyperdrive rom and nova launcher.
I wasn't referring to the Eclipse ROM, which I see has AOSP dialer instead of TW dialer.

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.

Eclipse is a themed TouchWiz ROM with a couple AOSP parts. It is not built on AOSP base. I believe it has the air features and TW camera, as well as many others.

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.

You know, its really easy to post a reply without being passive-aggressive about it. I made a mistake and was unaware that Eclipse was Touchwiz, I was misinformed. Now that I have been home and had a chance to look at it, it looks like a really great option! Thanks for posting it here.

The main portion of it is DashClock. I like the accuweather service more than Yahoo though, so I used overlapping widgets in Nova Launcher. The weather widget on top of Dashclock is a 1x1 weather from Beautiful Widgets.

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.

If you are talking about my ROM..

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.
