This questions is geared more towards my friends in MIUI land. I had asked it once before at miui-dev.com and miuiandroid.com. However, I did not notice any responses and now with the site down I probably would not have received any feedback unless I posted here.
My question is regarding the new TouchWiz 4.0; it is my understanding that the MIUI rom is based off of a modified version of TouchWiz and now with v4.0 coming out I wanted to know what the possibilities were for new functions to be updated, changed, or new features perhaps added?
Thanks for the read and any comments.

Well, yes, but the Nexus S has its own set of problems... At least it is AOSP, not TouchWiz.
MIUI is based on AOSP / CM7, but borrows design concepts from Touchwiz, iOS and Sense a little.

Hello Dev and everyones, currently I have mytouch4g. I love Sense and want to get LGX2, is it easier to port Sense to LG firmware? Reason I ask because I never see Samsung galaxy s series, 4G, Nexus S have any Sense port all they have is AOSP rom like CM7, Miui etc... Is it because Samsung use different file system? Can sense be ported to LG? Or should I wait and get Sense phone like Evo 3d, HTC Pyramid?
Thank you

Sense isn't open source, that's why you'll never really see it ported to another device. Pretty much the only option would be to get a Sense phone.

Exactly. It's kind of like how you'll never see MotoBlur or Touchwiz on any non-Moto or non-Samsung device (although I don't know why you would want to with those). The reasons all non-sense roms are AOSP is exactly because it is open source, and can be modified and programmed to cater to specific devices.

ADT is a development team, they have made Roms such as beast mod and now paradox.
Every ROM is based off of Samsung stock base except for CM7, MIUI.

A true samsung ROM is a stock rom, unchanged except whatever Samsung did to it before leaving the Factory ...
AOSP, is STOCK Barebones Android ..
As far as the other naming, best explanation is that there is NO explanation, the devs that make the custom ROMs name them what ever they want.. Sometimes it is named after the Team that made it, the person that made it, or the general idea behind the ROM ...
If a Rom is built off aosp could it potentially be ported to any phone? I'm specifically talking about the firefly Rom for the Samsung captivate. It's all aosp and no touchwiz. I can provide a link if anyone would consider actually porting it.

Yup, that's it. I see now its actually a touchwiz based Rom.
I knew it was froyo, I just figured if it was portable, maybe a nice dev could add the theming to a newer base? Lol not sure that makes sense. I just know that I've flash atleast (the very least) 3 roms a month. Back when I had my captivate, I stuck to the firefly Rom for months. The look had color and style, but didn't dream "I'm 13" lol. Guess its really the theming I like.

Are any of the TW features extractable, for when we get Jelly Bean? I.e., smart stay?
bump I'd also like to know

When jelly bean is released as an update for our phone....samsung won't deduct features! Otherwise they'll be being sued here their and everywhere

Yes but Sammy won't have JB for a while. CM10 will be out soon or at the very least a custom rom.

CM10 will take away features like smart stay, burst shot etc because it's AOSP, the same as jelly bean will be AOSP

The Samsung features included in a touchwiz rom are proprietory which means they're not open source.
Added to which they have specific framework dependancies (and Kernel) which are not compatible with AOSP so for the vast majority of samsung features and apps that you want, you can't have.

What I'm curious to know is what Samsung is gonna do with S voice in jellybean, seeing as Google Now seems better.
This is a typical NOOB question and I know that we are not supposed to compare ROMs but I wanted to know which ROM is the closes it gets to a pure android experience, as if I was using nexus 4. Nothing extra.
Just look for a pure AOSP rom.

Closest would be Cyanogen's rom the rest are super tweaked, even cm is but it's the least that's for sure.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Another super NOOB question. Do all custom ROMs have trebuchet or some other third party launcher and not the default launcher in nexus phones?
I guess what I am looking for is something like a port of the Nexus 4 or close to it.
Closest would be Cyanogen's rom

We don't have a Nexus port.
