I'm interested in this as well, if you get any info will you please let us know? I pmed that development but I'm definitely not very tech savvy
Have u tried pulling the s4 messaging app from his rom with permission of coarse as long as your running a tw rom I would think it would work
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
This would be awesome. I agree you should be able to take the app and change permissions and drop it into a touchwiz rom
Now that I think about it probably won't t work s4 is 4.2.2 soon to get 4.3

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.

Serendipity Rom has Samsung stock feel with aosp as well. I know he uses the mms /sms app in his Rom yer looking for.

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.

Yer welcome and i wish it was that easy. But Im sure he had to do some work to get it to work properly. I would PM him and ask if he'd be willing to share some info with ya. He's a nice guy.

you could theme the Samsung mms.apk to look like the AOSP mms.apk if nothing else, if all you're looking for is the aesthetics of the AOSP mms.apk
Good point, jrod ! That's actually what i like about it is how it looks. I really kinda despise the stock Samsung sms 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

Hi,
Just a few questions. I've been using Omega for ages but I'm wanting a really fast streamline rom so I want whats similar to the OS on the Nexus 7. That being said, I'd still like a few features such as Smart Stay, S Beam and Allshare Cast. Ow and the toggles in the notification bar.
Just want a bit of advice on if this is out there.
Thanks in advance.
Simple answer.....no
You can get a smart stay type app in play store
To keep it simple and w/ the features you want, you best look for a slimmer stock rom. Maybe you should stick with Omega?
Shame
Thanks for the replies. Are these features not apks that I can add in afterwards??

they rely on the TW framework, so unfortunately not
Just thought I'd share the Windy Weather .apk that's working with our phones. It's ported from the GS3 but works fine on the GS4, enjoy!

Here is a mirror. http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/APK`s/
You do know if you dont pay for dropbox you links will be disabled right?
Also the OLD Beach Live wallpaper from Froyo works too.
I did not know that, thanks for the mirror.

I love the Ocean reminds me of my S1 haha!
Greatly appreciate the ported apk. DO you know why this would work on the rooted GS4 with original ROM, but is not working now that I changed ROMS (running goldeneye) which actually is working for me in every other way?
Some of these are also available through an app called droid papers not the greatest app but all the nexus lwp and some sammy and others. Tones and normal wallpapers from same devices too

The developer removed live wallpapers from droidpapers app
yeah they were removed but thats ok i still love the app for the tones and wallpapers
I just had a question. I installed this on my Sprint S4 and it works great. Any chance you can port over the matching weather/time widget. The S4 includes one but it doesn't match the live wallpaper.
Update- I figured out what you would have to do. Your phone would have to be rooted and then you would just replace the stock S4 version with the older windy/weather one.
thanks for the LWP
I love the windy weather LWP since my Captivate days. I have have pulled the app and installed it to my Skyrocket and now the Galaxy S4. but ever since 4.3 JB rolled out, I would get FC'd
but now with your version of the app, it's up and running again. Thanks
[delete]
Can you make stock live wallpapers available again even if through your blogspot?

Live Wallpapers are removed from the app. In essence they are apps and they should be provided through a secure app-store. I could not garantuee safety, because I downloaded them from the Internet also. So, normal wallpapers and ringtones remain.
Stock Live Wallpapers can be found here, but at your own risc:*http://teusink.blogspot.nl/2013/10/stock-android-live-wallpapers.html*

Black / Blue Stock Dialer and Stock Messaging wanted. For some reason Verizon/ATT and maybe more decided to make these so white! Other variants, like in Canada, of the S4 are like the S3 black / dark blue.
Agreed I miss the style on note 2 and s3 etc. This white dialer and messaging is annoying.

The stock messaging lets you change color for message screen but the conversation list stays white.. gag!
Yeah its retarded. Can't wait for custom roms. Come on beans and scotts

Maybe I'm missing something but clean rom appears to just be a stock rom with very mild to no tweaks, so why would we be wanting his to come for these mods?

I'm hoping its just something as simple as taking the apps from the other carrier s4's and just making a flashable zip. From there the makers of clean roms can also just substitute the other carrier dialer/messaging app instead of having to actually theme them.

There's no easy way to do the theming ourselves, is there?
So I remember seeing someone make a Note 3 ROM and was wondering if anyone had any leads or knew about anyone doing the same, but to make our S4's look and feel like an S5 with a ROM.
Just thought I'd throw it out there and ask. Thanks guys.

You can use Echoe ROM which has aroma options for the S5 launcher, S5 themed notification toggles, and S5 settings app. You can also use the Project Chaos ROM in the international section, which has a full S5 theme, but if you're on Safestrap I'm not sure if Jkruse has a made a patch yet for SS users to flash 4.4 TW international ROM's. Obviously you'll need to be on 4.4 to run Echoe as well.
