hi, i have sg2! and im using a rom which doesn't have the touchwizz customization!m im asking if i can have all the beautiful stuffs of sg2 touchwizz in this rom; ( contacts, dialer, sms, etc...) or a theme would be sufficient??!
thks and sorrrrrrrrrrrry
i'm guessing that you have an AOKP rom or so.
i think that the hole point of those room is to get as far from samsung as posible, so i think you'll not be able to found a ported touchwiz.
though there many aokp roms with similar themes. this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27619632#post27619632 has an LG launcher with the same icons of touchwizz...
but apps and stuff are not the same as samy' s one...
i guess you'll have to live with it, or go back to stock roms...or modifyed sammy roms..in that case i recomend you Darky roms...are pretty good
Touch Wiz UX has been ported from the GS3, I have used it on AOKP based Resurrection Remix, in fact it comes with it.. Nice launcher. You can Download it here:

Hello everyone, ive loved android ever since i moved from the original iphone to the g1. Never much liked stock launchers until now actually. I used adw, go for a long time. Now with touchwiz on the s 3 i tried apex and nova for a 5x5 grid but i keep going back to touchwiz for features.
Just wondering what does everyone dislike about touchwiz?
Features i like (other launchers may have them and I dont know)
-holding page indicator to slide between screens especially in widgets. I have so many.
-widget view in general and adding to screen
-quickness of page sliding and behavior motion
-hiding apps in app drawer

The old touch wiz was absolutely unusable. This version I think is actually quite nice. I find myself missing some features from it using cm9.

Other than the UI which is horrible....I'm actually a fan of the new TW. AOKP/CM9 aren't quite necessary anymore due to the beast under the hood! Especially with an OC kernel...losing functions like the camera and motion is not worth it (maybe with further development in the future we may get more goodies but as of now)....I'll stick with TW and TSF Shell!

I agree. I like cm9 simplicity but I miss my tw stuff. I personally can say Samsung put up some competition for cmteam

TouchWiz 4 has made significant improvements. I always thought that Samsung was confused with the previous versions of TouchWiz, like they wanted to look and feel like iOS, but didn't know they're using a better and competing operating system. I'm sure if Google didn't force manufacturers using Android to have a back button and settings button, Samsung would skip on that. TouchWiz 4 cuts down on that a lot, though the icons still piss me off. TouchWiz 4 is light on memory, RAM, and is smooth.
I still prefer Sense. Sense, although a resource hog, still has a few features over TouchWiz 4. At the same time TouchWiz 4 has features over Sense 4. But, the features that matter more to me are on Sense 4.
So, I guess I hate older versions of TouchWiz, but TouchWiz 4 isn't so bad. Not bad at all.
Still supporting the people trying to bring Sense 4 to this phone and other Samsung devices.

I like the stock touchwiz but as the folder look ugly so i moved to nova but i miss the weather widget from accuweather which came with touchwiz as i cant get the same on nova. If someone knows how i can use that with nova launcher it will be gr8

Agreeing with the rest of the replies here. I'm running CM10 but I found it hard to find replacements for the video and music player apps. They just worked.
I definitely think is not bad but is not as responsive as cm9(idk it probably just me and have to do a fresh flash ) but sense 4 is so nice looking too but is a hog of memory, I like stock features like battery percentage, great camera app(hated gs2 camera speed),notification toggles, swype right to call, etc but cm9 for some reason is always my favorite I could live with eathier one tho, I think touchwiz would be better if menus would be white like sense or black looking like ICS, the grey color looks outdated somehow , the green battery should be blue as well, and bring the folder option to drag and make a folder on stock launcher

Agreed the folder issue on the launcher is really the only issue I have with TW. Other than that I think it is fine.

The trashness of the folder view on touchwiz cannot be overstated. Things that are changed for worse (compared to stock) grind my gears. I would miss smart stay but since it never worked for me i can't say that I do. Only the bottom bar for launcher/drawer and tilting to move apps across home screens are things I miss.

Just a matter of peoples personal taste I guess. I was actually shocked and baffled that you would even ask this.
I gave TW a few hours, since I had actually grown comfortable with HTC Sense on my TB. However TW was borderline unusable for me. The UI just doesn't seem to make a lot of sense, and simple tasks are made more complicated. It just seems ugly and clumsy to me. Having used Sense, Blur, and TW. I would say Sense was by far the best, and TW by far the worst. Custom launchers are better than all of them though.
I was unable to find any features that I cared about that TW gave me, that CM or far better launchers like Nova didn't. However there are many many options that Nova gives you that TW does not.
Like I said in the beginning though, it's a matter of personal taste.

I personally don't "miss" Sense, however I understand what these other folks are talking about.
Compared to TW, Sense was just a very nice looking UI. Other than just looking better than TW, it was easy to use, and didn't add extra annoyance to using the phone. Other than some limitations of the launcher, I actually really liked everything else sense provided.
I messed around with TW plenty, and I honestly just can't find anything good to say about it. The launcher is awful.
I expected as much though, with Nova installed this phone is bad *** and was everything I hoped for.
Opinions, opinions... I played with the HTC One X and I did not like the aesthetics of the UI on Sense 4.0 at all. It just looked... ugly, bulky, and consumptiuous as far as space goes. TouchWiz 5 just looks nicer to me and it's a lot easier on the phone's resources.
i HATE the way TW looks as well as sense.
ICS based launchers like apex and nova look awesome to me. So based off of that, I stick with apex. Looks great, fast, customizable
I actually was hoping to use TW. But it has one thing missing that my preferences keep me from living without: multiple scrolling docks. I was quite surprised that function was not on TW, given all the raves of how it had improved. That is a basic function available on almost any third party launcher.
I used my GS3 stock for awhile and quite got used to TouchWiz. My only complaint is how the Launcher organizes things in the app drawer. I can set it to do alphabetical, which I prefer, but folders are also placed in alphabetical order instead of at the beginning of the drawer.
I tried to go back to GoLauncher (what I used on my TBolt) but I found it to be rather sluggish.
The current versions of both Sense and Touchwiz are much better than stock ICS imo. I went to CM9 because of how much people rave about 'stock ICS' but it was pretty underwhelming. Back to TW now and enjoying it.

Personally, I like Sense a lot (I LOVE the sense widgets), but even when I was using my rezound daily I used Apex Launcher for a number of reasons.
When I wanted a sense widget, I swapped back to sense with home switcher.
Does anyone know when there going to incorporate the Samsung apps into the JB builds? Like the Smemo and its S-pen functions (ex//double tap on screen to open note) or will there be an alternative with the S-pen functions created?
Try Paranoid Android ROM...it has S-Pen functions...

CM 10 Problems..
Anyone know of plans to incorporate S Pen apps/features into CM 10? I'm loving this ROM except for that.... I used S Memo all the time when I was stock... :crying:
The original S-Memo functions work only in TouchWiz. You can try some ICS TouchWiz-based rom like Padawan, Nebula (I tried both and they work), Black Ice and other stock/UCLF6 based roms.
Some JB roms have incorporated pen gestures, but it is not the same experience. And this is the reason that I decided to move away from JB roms for now.
Try out Blackstar X and you may not want JB.
With 2 versions of voice search and new Android keyboard with gestures. Ran a few days, ZERO hiccups. Mighty fine indeed.

That's what I hear all of the time is to go back to ICS with tw but I really would like job with tw which is the reasoning for this thread. Although black star is a great ROM, ran it for a day or 2, job is a lot better because its just so buttery smooth hahaha and s memo and that butter smoothness with the other tw features will be awesome. Its just no one has ported any for some reason. You would think someone would convert an international ROM or a galaxy s3 one..

At the moment, there is no TW based JB rom.
It won't happen until an official JB rom is released.
There are many, many people wanting TW on JB, including me. It has been asked before by many and the answer is no. Either go back to ICS with TW or live with JB as it is.
Hi, I'm curious to know whether I should try an AOSP rom or a Sense 4+ rom? I want a stable rom with good features such as beats profile for all uses. I want 4G LTE to work and I want a really smooth experience. What do you guys think I should go for? I like the AOSP look on the galaxy nexus and that phone is really smooth, though the phone I tried had Jelly Bean, but still the smoothness was amazing and that is what I want.
Is there a way to get the sense 4+ rom and just get a launcher that has the aosp look?
Apex or nova launcher from the play store.
If you're looking for stability, then Sense would probably be your best bet.

Will having an ICS sense 4+ rom and apex/nova launcher bring smoothness?
I'm fairly new to roms and launchers so I don't know too much about them.

They're smooth enough for me, although I don't care too much for smoothness.
I do recommend Holo Launcher, though, because it has some jellybean features.

Sense 4 is pretty smooth and 4.1 even smoother.

Aosp is fastest smoothest, but there are minor bugs sometimes and you don't get the sense widgets if you've become accustomed to then as I have. The aosp camera is really lousy, that's main reason I don't use aosp. It's very hard to beat the sense camera with a third party app. Sense adds bulk and hogs resources. 4.0 and 4.1 are pretty smooth and you can turn off animations to make it smoother. Another thing to try is a senseless Rom that gives you the best of both worlds.

My only gripe with AOSP is that its really fast and smooth... 90% percent of the time. Sometimes it gets moody and will lag out or reboot, and it justtttt enough to be annoying. That 90% of the time though... amazing.

I just upgraded to official ICS sense 3.6 and have use both Holo and Nova launchers and I find that both the launchers don't look too much like the AOSP look. It's also not as smooth as I want it, but I wonder if that is partly because of Sense hogging up resources or something.
Does anyone know how I can get as close to the smoothness as possible of Galaxy Nexus Jelly Bean?
Thanks everyone for your advice.
Apex is good too I believe. I haven't used it for awhile though

would you guys say rooting to AOSP is the smoothest experience for the Rezound?
I find that the official ICS sense 3.5 is more smoother than gingerbread sense 3.0. I'm surprised by the smoothness. But I know it's not like the galaxy nexus jelly bean. I'm hoping to find a rom or some method to get more smoother and I prefer the look of AOSP over sense.
Thanks for everyone's thoughts.
