I know most users are the reverse of me, but here's my puzzle.
I love AOKP in almost every way except... I really love the TouchWiz contacts/dialer (go figure). I use the swipe left to sms/right to call at least once a day. To the point that I went back to Shostock3 (and its battery-heavy ways) so I could have this core functionality back.
In the stock SGS2 thread, someone asked the question of whether there's a contacts/dialer replacement that acts like TW contacts/dialer and nobody responded.
So I'm asking here... Does what I'm looking for exist?

Try exDialer in the store; it's related more to MIUI but it has the swipe feature you're looking for.

Sorry, I don't understand. exDailer has both swipe features by default, and you can fiddle about with certain behaviors under the Advanced tab to make their contracts have swipe as well.

When I open a contact in exDialer to SMS, it opens the default messaging app... But if I start out in the messaging app and want to call the person, then I am SOL. The nice thing about the TW integration is that any time you interact with a contact (from any of the three apps) is that the swipe left/right thing works.
As a result, I am now looking for a messaging replacement app that can also do the swipey thing.
Far as I know there isn't anything like that for AOSP, but if you DO find something that works the way you want it to let us know.

Not sure I get it. Are you talking about the AOSP Messaging app? There's a call button in the title bar. Furthermore, if you press on the contact icon, a popup appears, and you have the option to do a lot more than call them. You can send an email, map their address, etc.

You could try flashing shostock3 (that's what I'm on) and backing up the dialer with Titanium (and the messaging & contacts apps, whatever you need) and then reflashing your current rom and restoring the app without data. There probably wouldn't be any data to restore at that time anyway.
But, I have no idea if that will work, or if it will give you problems or even brick your device (which I doubt would happen), but there was a thread where someone did something like that with the Touchwiz task manager. I think they were running a TW ROM on an N7 and went back to a AOSP ROM and it worked perfectly.
Good luck. I personally am a big fan of touchwiz, especially with a nexus style blue theme to the toggles and other system colors instead of green. Samsung has some pretty awesome user friendly stuff like the swipe to call/text, the quick toggles, even the s planner calendar app stands out.

Yeah, I understand that functionality exists, but that's not what I'm looking for. It's less elegant (for me). I'd rather have a certain specific one-touch experience rather than the two-click experience.
And TouchWiz apks, as far as I've read, don't work on non-Samsung kernels.

In an attempt at obfuscation I thought I'd start a thread in hopes of getting some collaboration for improving my favorite Android ROM-- CM6. Sure I could stick with AOSP for better universal support but who cares? CM6 offers what I consider the best experience and the available code far surpasses what we would need to reinvent on a stock base.
Lack of time and knowledge has me realizing it's best to try to bring the community together so we can work on adding features in a hopefully less 'throm' way. Seeing advancements devs can do like MIUI's lockscreen and interesting home screen improvements, features we enjoy from the CM6 nightlies, etc. is the motivation.
I'll post my work and ideas and I'm hoping people do the same.
List of ideas and projects I'd like to get going:
Notification bar scrollable settings
MIUI and the new Sense inspired idea but taken to a new level with custom activity support similar to Bettercut and ADW offer.

Universal Firefox-style Google search from long-pressing text
Long press text in a web page, email, text box and have a context menu to search the phrase on Google similar to Firefox. It's a Google OS, let's add it
Smooth screen rotation transitition
Intercept rotation and instead shift the screen rotation without redrawing to improve speed on low end devices and prevent onResume() potentially wiping current saved state in poorly coded apps
This is a think tank and I hope to spin it into a development thread. I'm open to ideas like a Home button in browser, etc. Let's make this easy, open source and available for integration in ROMs to make things better for everyone.

gibe sense widgets on cm6 pl0x?
/end troll
The one thing I've always wanted fixed in Android (since 1.0) is Artist sorting in the music player. Currently the scanner incorrectly uses the Artist tags for combination albums and splits them all up (should use Album Artist; check how iTunes/WMP sorts this stuff); its terribly annoying and has needed to be fixed for ages.
One of those is coming soon ...

My 2 Cents
Sense like copy /paste In browser
Getting that search drop down on xda to not dissapear when I try to type in eing
Getting the gmail app to auto call phone numbers when you touch it, sense does this
When searching In google, the suggestions come up, I would like to be able to scroll to one of the suggestions, and this auto fills the search box for you, like it does in a desktop browser
Cm has thought of almost everything I must say though!
Here's an idea i'd like to see. I dunno if it should be implemented in Android in general or CM.
If you pull down the notification bar, swiping left or right to get another page with some of your widgets... OR switch between open applications using that.

No. The SMS and launcher replacements were made BECAUSE of the limitations the stock ones provide.
May I ask why you prefer the TouchWiz apps? If its just the theme, handcent/GO SMS can be themed to look pretty close. As for launchers I prefer LauncherPro, but with ADW you could easily make a TouchWiz style launcher (right down to the iPhone style app drawer), and still get the notifications you're looking for.
Adw launcher and adwnotify app are definitely the best options for you. You can set it to look exactly like touch wiz (you won't even know) it's a different launcher if you set it correctly.
launcher pro is the best way

No. The icon for the app can only be one .png. No animation or changing images of any kind. That's why its a widget. If this is something you want so badly, TouchWiz is not for you. It just isn't conducive to this kind of customization. As I said before all the above apps/widgets were made because you just can't do these kind of things with the stock launcher.

Haha I wasn't trying to sound harsh. But doing a mod like this to the Twiz launcher is a lot more extensive than you might realize, and may not be totally possible. The devs of these other apps have preemptively heard your cries, and produced multiple solutions for your problem.
is there any possibility to make sth like in sms unread... bo with my own icons? some different apps?

http://goo.gl/y2ec5 Widget Locker is based in ADW so the ADW notifier app should work on WidgetLocker regardless of what launcher you are running. When installing WidgetLocker you should have been presented with this info and prompted to download the plug in.
Hats off to you if you can create it.

You need SMS Unread Count from the Market. Icons are custom.
You could try widget locker with elixir. Elixir has widget counters for phone, SMS and Gmail.

I use smsunread count too but think of this, if anyone has used phantom music player they know it can remain "hidden" until touched. Well I was just thinking of working on a new project thanks to this very thread.
- A widget that remains hidden until a number reaches any value above "0". This way you can put it on your lock screen and its not there, Just like wp7, until its activated by receiving a txt, email, call etc... now heres the question. Should it be 1 widget where they all light up when 1 is activated, or have individual widgets similar to smsunread. I think individual would be a better touch. Time to get to work.

if you hold down on an icon in tool mode of widgetlocker there is a little slider box to disable touches. This will allow you to see the notifications or have anything on the screen without tapping it by accident

You can't bypass the lock screen with Widgetlocker. If you press a sms, mail, or call icon it takes you to the main lockscreen which shows when you are not using Widgetlocker. Then it takes you to the app after you unlock from there.
If you are using Widgetlocker in Tool mode, it will take you to the app right away, but that's because your device is not locked in Tool mode.
I was looking into this a while back and apparently Tasker has that function. I can't find the link but I know there was a guide specific to that.

Hi, i was just wondering if anyone would be creating such a Rom? and if anyone would be interested in loading it onto their SGS3.. Coming from a Galaxy Nexus, the pureness of ICS is so smooth and clean, no bloatware or carrier specific apps. But, TouchWiz is nice, colorful and generally easy to get used to.. i was very impressed. I was just wondering if anyone would be interested if that Rom was made available to our LTE Devices.
Cheers! :fingers-crossed::good:
Add me to the wishlist.
This TW isn't too bad, but CM9 would be awesome.
I haven't tried touchwiz yet but I will probably want a clean install.
verizon.
Touchwiz ain't the bad there are some good features already in it, like toggles and battery percentage, for now you can replace them with some aosp apps, that's your best bet

The problem with AOSP-based ROMs is you lose the (very very few) features of TouchWiz that are legitimately useful... like SmartStay and whatever they call the feature that allows you to pop out videos into a floating window so you can watch while doing other things.
On the Incredible, we had de-Sensed Sense ROMs. They were based on the Sense framework, so Sense "stuff" would work, but they were de-bloated and de-themed as much as possible (at least that is my understanding... in actuality, I never used one of them because I liked Sense).
I imagine someone will eventually come out with a de-TouchWizzed TouchWiz ROM. That is something that I'd be interested in.
^ I think there's a large group who are insterested in the stock google experience, and don't have a need for Sammy's extras.
Edit: just to comment on the OP, I assume most devs will jump to jelly bean. Since (to my understanding) the code is fairly similair, being that 4.1 is an incremental update. I can't wait for some AOSP Jelly Bean!
Pop out video and S Voice have already been made into apps that don't require touchwiz, but I'm not sure about SmartStay.
It'll be great when I can get rid of TouchWiz

Yea, I was just wondering.. IMO, i think that all our android phone should come with the option to have a pure AOSP option as well as the manufacturers UI overlay. It would just cut some of the hassle some people go through in theming.. just my two cents.. and I think they're worth every penny..

I'm not sure this is possible. If you want TW functions you should run a TW based rom. Even if the rom doesnt have the TW keyboard, if it is based on TW you should be able to restore from titanium or just get the apk file and install.
If you want a good keyboard for swyping use the "swype" keyboard for purchase on the market. I really like the market swype keyboard bc I find it a lot more accurate (this may be a useless suggestion as I used the TW keyboard maybe once before repalcing it so i dont know what functions it brings that people like).

Anyone know a way to get Samsung TW keyboard for AOSP?

I do not have a Samsung TW Keyboard working on AOSP, but a quick Google/XDA Search resulted in a lot of information and downloads of success stories on different devices and carriers. Some reverse-engineering may be needed. There are many Samsung TW Keyboards from other devices (like the S3, S2, etc) that have been made available for AOSP-Based ROMs. They might not be the S4 Keyboard, but if you want something ready-to-flash or ready-to-install, you might try them. Or start with a deodexed apk, locate any dependencies needed for the Keyboard to function, and try your luck with an app like ZipSigner.
I would first:
1- Download a Samsung TW Keyboard that has already been ported to AOSP
2- Download the Keyboard for your device/build
3- Compare them and try and find out what big differences there were
4- Try and apply those differences to your Keyboard
5- Run some Trial/Errors

Just because it is something that can be figured out by searching. I mean that in the nicest way. No pun intended.
It seemed from the question that the OP was asking for a method. And there are plenty of tutorials on Porting and Reverse Engineering (AOSP->TW/ViceVersa/.apks/Apps/Etc./Etc.).

Nice post. I did do a search and even did google searches but all of the ports I found didn't work. I should have mentioned that in the OP.

The TW Keyboard has too many Touch Wiz dependencies. I like it as well. Try Kii keyboard from the market. It has the numbers on the top row and all kinds of other neato features to make you forget about TW keyboard.

I second this. I have used the Kii Keyboard for a long time. Its the best money I spent on a keyboard. I personally prefer the new Google Keyboard from the PlayStore, but I always keep Kii installed just in case I ever need to use the top number row for something. Works great on the S3, S4 and Note2.

Purchased and have been using ever since. Thanks for the help, guys!
Don't know much about this so this could be WAY off.
but I DO know to get AOSP .apks on TW you need to compile the AOSP .apks with TW sources, maybe try doing the opposite. compile TW .apk with AOSP sources, no idea if even possible, just trying to help.
