So I got this Galaxy S7 clone a month ago, and I thought whoever made this counterfeit probably forgot to replicate some of the stuff in it like the browser and keyboard, being those two were lifted off an earlier Android version. I was wondering if there are apps taken off similar clones that resemble the real deal, or if there are other applications which can be themed to look like their Touchwiz equivalents.

The SIIIs SVoice looks like the first app that can compete with Siri in a GUI and asthetic front. Is it likely to be ported over for other roms? I imagine it will depend on how deeply it's integrated into Wiz, or whether or not it's a stand alone app?
For standard ICS Touchwiz Sansung Device, it should be able to do so, but to make it a standalone app like VLingo being ripped from a SGS II or A Note to another device, it may not work, exactly due to the reason you specified on how deeply its integrated.
That amongst a few more features is what I would like to see ported over to the Note or the SGS II.
Hello everyone,
I did a little research before opening new thread,but I couldn't find anything simiral to my question.
So,my question now!I am planning to buy an Android Device.And yes like most of the people I am in a dilemma.Now before you hasten to answer my question let me explain this : I am not looking for an answer according to hardware specs or any kind of benchmarks.What I am looking for is the following :
I really like the stock look of the ICS(yes the one that Galaxy Nexus has).So I was wondering if there is anyway to get rid of the Touchwiz from Galaxy SGSIII.After a small Google research that I did it seems that a user is not able to get rid of Touchwiz unless it replace it with another Launcher like the Launcher Pro.So what I found out that the only way to do this is to flash the phone with a custom rom,which will not contain any OEM launchers or any other third party launchers.To make this clear once and for all I am not lloking any kind of launcher that will make SGS III look like Galaxy Nexus's stock launcher,I am looking only for the stock launcher only.
So I was wondering if there is any custom rom to get rid of touchwiz and leave all the other goodies that Samsung has included like the Smart-Stay(the one that tracks your eyes in order to keep the screen on),All share,etc,... in SGS III or the only way is to buy the Nexus?
If you buy the SIII you can simply install Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher (Both available in the Play Store).
Both those launchers look exactly like the one found on the Galaxy Nexus, just with more options for customization.
Installing the launcher will hide the Touchwiz Launcher, but leave other parts of Touchwiz/Samsung software intact (Such as the smart-stay feature, S Voice, etc.).
Okay I have two questions.First,is it possible with these two launchers to have the three buttons(back button,home button and the multitask button) like the Nexus has?(Yes I know that the SGS III has the same three dedicated buttons,but I really love those three Nexus buttons)Second,are this launchers consume too much Ram or they will work without lags like touchwiz?
Okay,I know that I am not allowed to do this,but I am posting this to give to my thread a little push.Yes I know I am not the only memebr in this forum and there are 4 milllion other members.
use the search button maybe some devs at the s3 forum made one already
dude people did compare these two phones many times already.
and... unless you are a higher ranked, people most likely avoid you.
the s3 is sexy, big and yes i had hands on. Gnex is also sexy and yes i had hands on. The s3 is a little more advance so it gets a plus, but the galaxy nexus would be my choice because i look in the long run. Gnex gets updates first and its google's flagship phone as iphone is to apple.
Gnexs are coming next week preloaded with jelly bean while some people dont have ics yet. If you are like some people who can afford to buy a new phone every month then get the s3, but if you plan to go the two years get gnex
So the S2 is out of the question? The S2 probably has more custom rom than both put together (or it would at lease be close )
Now before anyone attacks me for bad mouthing their favorite mobile OS, let me state that I've been using Android since the G1.
I know I'm not the only one who has this problem or has made this observation. I have only ever purchased flagship devices. Quite a few since 2009. Every single one has been laggy.some more than others but here I am on a brand new Note 4 having the same problem again. It was the same with the Nexus 6 before it and the Nexus 5 before that and so on and so on.
I thought things would get better over time but even with 5.0 the lag was there. It actually made my Nexus 5 worse and my nexus 6 ran like crap... so much so I had to switch to the bloat ware filled Samsung Note 4,which despite having its own lag problems,runs better than the N6 it replaced.
Someone please explain to me why this is still an issue all these years later and is there ever hope for a smooth running android device.
Please don't come in here and say I'm holding/doing it wrong or that your android device isn't laggy. That's BS.
I love the functionality of Android and I don't plan on ever switching.I've even bought an iPhone when the 5S was released and learned it wasn't for me.
Hope this is the right place for this post.
In samsungs phones the causer of lag is touchwiz launcher and samsungs bloatware apps. Sorry for my bad english. Im from finland
There is no bad choises, only bad results.
SGS III Mini
tenshi_xp's PAC Rom RC-3
KitKat 4.4.4.
I agree that touch wiz and the bloat apps don't help but even "pure android" phones have the same problems without the launcher and apps. The problem isn't just on Samsung phones.
Anyone else want to offer any input? This is baffling.

Hello there!
Please, can anyone tell me if it is possible to change to look of my S5 device, to look like an S4 on KitKat?
My first Andorid phone was the Galaxy S3 because I was in love with TouchWiz. I dislike the way stock Android looks.
I was not a Samsung fan, previously I had a Samsung Omnia because I liked the design and being a Microsoft fan, I bought it, but never liked TouchWiz there... I imediately disabled it and left the default Windows Mobile look. When Microsoft went to Windows Phone 7 and so, I've cosidered going to Andorid. I don't like Apple because all icons follows the same square rounded pattern. I like the icons to be different like on Microsoft Windows, so not all icons to be in a circle or square, or other geometric form.
When I bought the S5 I was a little dissapointed because the TouchWiz was changing into bad lookings but with Lollipop... awwwww!
I dislike the new Contacts App with those small circles for pictures... Sincerelly I love my wife S4 i9506. I've decided not to upgrade her to Lollipop, to make her phone uglly like mine.
So, is there a possiblility to run a version of Lollipop or KitKat on S5 while having a look of an S4? Even if the menu and home keys will behave like they normaly do on S5.
Thank you!
Mods and cyanogen while using themes. There is not other way
Bad taste
A taste is a taste. Well, if it happens that you like Sotck Android, then, you may have a "bad taste" Come on! Every people I talked with, having a Galaxy S5, don't like the way Lollipop looks at all.

Are you more familiar or wanted to have Apple products? I dislike Lollopop becuase black used to look better on amoled displays. Other things that I'm not likeing on Lollipop are those bright colors, the white baground when opening calls, having no button delimiters on phonedialer and the most anyoing one for me... the Contacts app which have those small circled pictures. Oh... let's say being clircles, let's say ok, even if I still don't like the ideea, but they are too small on Samsung firmware. They are a little bigger on let's say LG G3s.
Anyway, no matter what you say... S4 on KitKat looks A LOT BETTER than the Lollipop UGLYNESS!
I'm on Lollipop from January but I cannot accept its stupid GUI. Well, I'm a graphic designer, I know that these days we've embraced this flat, simple ugly things that Microsoft started with Windows 8 and Google and others followed their stupidity with "Material Design"
Hey there.
Is there any chance to get my good old Samsung Galaxy S8 Theme on a Google pixel phone with Android12?
Really, i HATE this new material onegui stuff.
My phone looks like a phone for kids and i don´t really like it anymore since Android 12.
I bought a very nice theme from the galaxy store. It´s still applied on my good old S8 which has a broken display.
Is there a Third party launcher which can apply Samsung Store themes?
When this is not possible:
Can the newest Samsung Phones like the S22 apply old themes from S8?
And do you know any good launcher which looks like the Samsung galaxy launcher?
I search for a Launcher which looks like samsung but which is secure. I´m ready to pay for the launcher, when it is good.
I like to work with folders and multiple screens.
Thank you in advance.
Please help me to like my phone again
Greetings

So harsh. You bought a Pixel phone to apply a Samsung theme on it? Maybe you should adapt your expectation pattern. There are so many ways to customise your device though...
