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).

Tw keyboard is similar to Android kb... themed differently. As far as word predicting or how close or precise, Swype is champ, Android is second, Samsung comes last

i do like how the TW keyboard has the numbers above the qwerty to avoid long pressing or changing "pages"

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.

Just a head's-up that the new 3.0 version of SlideIt Keyboard for Android is out and it rocks!
I've not a single complaint about this version and I've always wished I could have the best features of Swype, etc. and have the features of SlideIT. I really do think it is finally better than Swype in every way possible.
This is not a spam. I don't work for them. I'm just so happy with the thing, I wanted to share.

Mods: Sorry, I meant to post this in the apps section.
Does it have a Mic key? I use voice input all the time.

They have a promotion directly from their site for $3.99 which they say is a limited-time. I think it was well worth it.

Thanks for the heads up. In your excitement though you appear to have spelled the app's name wrong several times. It's SlideIT. I mention this in case it makes any difference for people searchwise.

Ooops! Yes, I did. I requested a mod to edit the title for search purposes. Thanks.
Anyway, I've really been pleased with the performance of this software.
For me, the best things over Swype are:
delete on error erases the entire word, not just one letter (unless you want to)
multiple language access with one click literally.
shortcuts
text selection is better/easier
etc.

Watched the entire vid. Don't see a Mic key anywhere. It needs to be on the first default keyboard.
Otherwise, some nice features. I'd also prefer to have access to the cursor positioning arrow key more easily. Looks like at least 3 buttons to get there.
Thanks for the reference though.
I ve been using it since yesterday and i am definitely going to prefer it over swype. Lots of shortcuts and dictionary seems to be better than swype..well at least for me.

After a quick trial run I'm liking it better than Swype on my rooted Vibrant. I'll try to remember to come back here and post some thoughts after a couple days.
One of my main problems with Swype was always their word choice window, SlideIT does it much better by putting the suggestions right above the top row of keys where they are with the stock keyboard, so I love that.
After a quick trial on my rooted Vibrant, I'm kinda liking it better than Swype for a few reasons.
1. The word suggestion is not a random pop-up that hides everything. It's right above the keyboard which makes much more sense (personal preference).
2. It appears to be more formal and accurate, especially when inputting new words and keeping the caps, like ASCE.
3. It's overall layout is more to my liking (personal preference).
4. You don't have to hunt for it, make sure the ROM you flash has it, or worry about losing it in the future.
Good find, OP. Thank you.
Still loving it so far. The one drawback I've noticed is the only numeric mode had the numbers across the top of the keyboard, there's no keypad mode that I could see.

Will this replace the swype.apk, or just add another keyboard?

It doesn't replace Swype. It adds another keyboard. If you wish, you can delete Swype. I have.
I was a long-time fan of Swype, and the previous iterations of SlideIT were pretty marginal in comparison, but V3 has come a long way and I use it daily and much prefer it. It's much more accurate than Swype, generally, in my experience, and it does a far better job in multi-language accuracy and much faster at switching languages. It's Spanish dictionary is better, for example. The shortcuts/abbreviations are an invaluable feature to me.
Did any one try the new feature "on-the-fly"
In this Version SlideIT has new feature "on-the-fly"
Do you know how to use it ?

you can download it by yourself
SwiftKey has a beta for tablets now, and it has a special landscape mode for thumb typing where the letters are on the right sides of the screen and the numbers in the middle.
It's in beta test right now, and if you join on their forum you can get access to it. It is beta so it has some quirks (like when you've just rotated it, the suggestions show too low like in my screenshot below), and I am not sure I like the default theme yet (it doesn't show secondary keys!) but it's worth a try. http://swiftkey.net/vip is where you can join to try it.
Here's what it looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Install the APK as normal (uninstall the beta for Smartphone if you're already using it) and then follow the "from market" part of this guide to copy the APK into /system/app. Reboot, and it should show up in NookColor Tools, same procedure as any keyboard on the Nook Color using the B&N Rom. Any other ROM it should just work.

BTW just wanted to let people know and help the SwiftKey folks get more feedback, I get nothing from this.
will try when back at home!!
I've tried it and have found the keys to be too small for a 7" screen. I've really enjoyed using ThumbKeyboard and hope the SwiftKey keyboard improves to that level of usability as I love SK's prediction engine.
I'm running the stock 1.1 ROM, rooted, and am trying to get the Beta installed right now. I have the original running fine, but prefer the thumb-keyboard split layout.
I installed the Beta, but can't get it to show up in my Keyboard selection. Not sure it's going to run on Eclair.

It does work on Eclair. You moved the .apk from /data/apps to /system/apps? And set the permissions to match others there? And rebooted? Try those if you have not and check again.

They SEEM to be, but bang out a sentence and see what happens. It's damn good at deciphering nonsense. Same as the Smartphone version, I type like ass on the screen yet most often it figures out the right words.

I installed from /system/app and rebooted, but haven't changed the permissions.
I've been using SuperManager, which doesn't appear to let me edit permissions. I'll have to grab a different app later and try it, as they don't appear to match.
Thanks.
SwiftKey Tab beta seems cool
I've used it to send emails. Nothing special about it that I've seen so far. But it is nice to see a "tablet" getting some love.
edit: I've been using it since Monday. I don't like the interface ('neon') but the split (similar to Thumb Keyboard) is very nice. the keys are smallis buy not unusable. Overall, I like it and recommend giving it a try. Once new skins are made it'll be great.
Got IT
Installed this morning. Not too bad. Keys are too small. Don't think its going to replace my swype. I do love their predictive typing but not enought to stop me swyping.

The keys are so small I can't type well enough for the prediction to work unless I type quite slowly.

Odd, did you change the prediction settings? I type terribly without correction, but it does a really good job fixing it for me. You might try some of the other options, there's "rapidfire typing" which is useful for some folks.
Give it a try. But really miss an azerty layout for me..
waiting, but thumb keyboard is growing in my heart.. the only cons about thumb kb is the lack of multi language prediction, i have to disable it..

There are multiple layouts in Swiftkey, just the list is impossible to see on the Nook Color with the white-on-white problem. Apps expect some dialogs to be dark, where on the B&N ROM they're white.
Yep, there's AZERTY there. The problem is picking it I think. In Settings->Layout, try picking the 5th option... QWERTY is first, AZERTY is 5th in the list on my phone. Hopefully the tablet beta is the same. Otherwise, you could experiment I guess.
That's right for swiftkey beta for Phone, the swiftkey beta for tablet only have one option.
I'm running nookie froyo, no white-on-white problem here :/

1+ on that, since I have big hands. The stock keyboard with CM7 or the standard SwiftKey keyboard both beat the heck out of this "tablet" keyboard implementation. And I guess some find neon cool, but its hard on my eyes. Yes, I'm glad SwiftKey is trying, but .... I'll wait until functional wins out over 'Look at this cool keyboard, dude!" approach.
I have a Sensation XE currently and it has a built in keyboard for swipe words, called trace
Will the S3 have one built into OS naively? I know there are ones on Play Store but with everything being typed on them prefer built in one from manufacturer.

Probably not, as I haven't heard a mention of it anywhere.
But there shouldn't be any privacy issues if you can find a keyboard on the play store that doesn't require internet connection.

Actually, I'd probably guess that it will have it, as it comes standard on other Galaxy phones. Keep in mind that I don't have a GS3, but I would think it odd if they downgraded their features over successive releases..
You know that Swype is free and downloadable on their website, right?
Yes I know swype is free, but as above would rather have a stock app, then no privacy issues.
Play store keyboard apps I'm a little wary of.
Does the S2 have a swype/trace keyboard inbuilt stock app?
The international S2 has it stock, dont know about carrier versions. It is an interesting question and it would seem to be a no brainer since Samsung has commercial licensing agreetment(s) with Swype. It could almost swear somewhere or other I saw a video with the swype keyboard up? lol Getting old I guess.
I'm surprised people still use swype. It was fun for a few minutes, but typing is where it's at. Especially SwiftKey.

swiftkey depresses me.. I realised that I was more predictable than I had previously thought.
swype is still my favourite though.. I actually have fun with it and I can type things up faster than with swiftkey or other keyboards (or at least it feels this way)
Once you get good at it, swype can be really fast
I have swiftkey pro and use it when I want to do more technical typing such as a message that uses a lot of characters, numbers, etc. For these I find it goes quicker. For most typical stuff though like the average text message I can do it much more swiftly with swype. As said, swype takes a little time to get used to but once you do it becomes very quick and easy. I am not surprised that the phone typing record is held by a swype user.
I come to android from iOS and so to have an option was great! Didn't know it was built into my XE (known as trace) until someone showed me, I now is out all the time.

Do you have any issues while typing on the keyboard? Running CM/AOSP ROMs it seems that sometimes it wants to not register a specific key no matter what until u restart it, along with other issues. Maybe you have experienced this with other android Custom ROMs. My main question is does that keyboard have any bugs like this? If not I'll be blissfully happy!

To be honest I prefer the aosp keyboard over this because I feel it has better prediction. I think Samsung tried to make it smarter but ended up screwing it. Specially for non standard English words. But may be its just me. Others might find it working well for them.
But I haven't had any issues in registering any letters. The only problem I had was while typing in sygic navigation app where it was picking a different letter from what I was typing. But it might be an app specific issue.
Apart from that the Samsung keyboard is more or less the same as aosp.

Thumb Keyboard 4 is where its at.
its not talked about as much, but let me just put it this way
Swift Key is based around the idea that youll make tons of mistakes and itll correct them for you
Thumb Keyboard 4 is based around the idea that youll have so much room typing that you wont make any errors, and the ones you do itll correct them for you.
i find thumb keyboard 4 to be the best. swift key forces me to pick auto corrections, i dont like that.. try making o.o on swift key, go ahead try it lol..
pics i think are from Thumb Keyboard 3, the interface is much prettier now in thumb keyboard 4, but the keyboard layout is the same. there are 14 layouts to choose from, and you can change keys to be custom characters/combos

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
Btw I'm running cap turbo with ics domination theme and it looks sweet netter then nothing

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

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!

Oh I'm sure there are... I was just throwing that out there as something for some people to consider.

Pop out video and S Voice have already been made into apps that don't require touchwiz, but I'm not sure about SmartStay.

I wasn't aware of the video one being made into a separate app. What's it called?
As for S Voice, who cares? Nobody wants that crap.
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 looking forward to CM9 or CM10 to install on this.. the Samsung branded calendar bugged me but I was able to uninstall that and install the android calendar.apk
if any of you have been getting a random screen flicker while texting, this apk has solved the problem for me. i guess it was a problem with samsung's keyboard code.. it's the pure ICS original keyboard. download and give it a try. let me know your findings.

Is there a link to where I can find that calendar apk? I'm also curious how many stock google apps would work. Probably not flashable/system ones, but rather apks.
Edit: I much prefer Google's stock messaging app, dialer, and contacts/people app.

Me too. I'd love to see pure stock ICS or Jellybean for this phone. Thank God for GoLauncher and GoSMS.
The Samsung Calendar is driving me especially nuts.
AOKP!
Cyanogen is generally the way to go unless you find a different AOSP ROM that doesn't suck, which is pretty rare lol
Your best bet is to wait for CM9

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?
EDIT: refined title
EDIT2: Further refined title to include SMS

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

Awesome, thanks! Now I just need an messaging replacement that also has the swiping feature. Any thoughts?

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.
