Excuse me if I posted this in the wrong forum, I didn't really consider this a topic that belonged in Q&A.
I've spent most of the day kanging together a rom that's reminiscent of TouchWiz (the UI on Samsung's line of phones). It was designed as more of a personal project, but if it interests anyone I'll get permission for the people whose sources I used and if all goes well, I'll release it.
Here's what I've done:
Started with Aeroevan's latest CM9 build
Replaced Trebuchet with the ICS TouchWiz launcher
Changed a bunch of apps' icons to TouchWiz ones
Made the statusbar more TouchWizzy
Here's a very large screenshot (three in one!): http://i.imgur.com/wPolY.png
Let me know what you think!
Sure dude I've never played with touchwiz before
That is a large screenshot.
It looks nice. I like what you've done with it. I'm sure I'd be interested in testing it out a bit if you release it.

Sure. I'll test it out. Looks nice.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of Touchwiz. I am a bigger fan of Sense 4. When I saw TouchWiz on the Samsung Galaxy S3 during the launch, I was put off by the fact that they made it look very much like Gingerbread. The icons look childish-y for my taste... But looking at your screenshots, I must say it looks better than what I saw on the SGS3. So, bring it on, I say! More choices, more power to the people!
I am very interested in this!!

I don't know why people complain so much about OEM skins. I rather like them. Then again, I'm highly optimistic and enjoy most everything, so maybe that helps.
Touchwiz isn't really as nasty as people say it is. I haven't used a TW rom in ages, but I always enjoyed the scheme (Except for the Droid Charge. That was the stupidest thing I think anyone has ever done in the history of smartphones. Brown and orange? That's disgusting, no matter how nice not having a pentile screen is.) I liked their take on Gingerbread. It was simple, modern and had some nice widgets. Touchwiz 4 is even nicer. Also, I like having audio feedback enabled but set very quiet so it's not distracting, and Sammy has the best tick sounds ever. That may be an odd detail, but I rather liked them. The Fascinate had a really nice puzzle piece lockscreen that would show a piece for different notifications and you'd drop them into the open spot.
Also, screens. Until the One X, Samsung has run circles around every other Android OEMS screens. My Fassy had the most beautiful screen I've ever used, and with VooDoo controls you could adjust the gamma ratios and fine tune it to get your own perfect whites. There is a lot you can do with Samsung phones, especially now that they have a mobile Odin app. Samsung phones don't really have bootloaders. They have a tool, called Odin, that ran on Windows only and it flashes your firmware, kinda like whatever the SBF tools Moto users have. You can flash custom packages, but you were very dependent on it for switching between Touchwiz roms and AOSP because Samsung pulled an idiotic move and invented their own filesystem that is brain numbingly slow. VooDoo saved the day again by being included in recoveries and enabling ext4 and mtd filesystems.
Samsung also invented those really nice notification toggles we love so much in CyanogenMod.

Why would anyone wanna make a ROM that looks like Samsung's TouchWiz of all things!?
It just doesn't make Sense... err, I mean touchwiz.. wait what?
LOL! I just got the idea to make that joke. In any case, go nuts and make the TouchWiz ROM. But I am not a fan of it. Btw, is it just a TouchWiz themed Sense ROM or does it have TouchWiz in it?

Alright. I guess that's kewl.. I played around with Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 for a few days and my impression of TouchWiz, in the simplest terms was "silly".. The icons like amateurish (not in quality but the feel of them). It just doesn't have that seriousness to it as say the stock Holo theme or even the Sense ROMs. It is hard to put it in words.

Hi, I just installed a skyrocket build of the TW ICS and it looks like garbage all over stunning pure ICS. Thanks to all the Dev's that work so hard to clean that garbage from.the Samsung TW rom's.
All this time I wanted ICS now I don't see a point for this UGLY TW ICS.
It's just sad to see this beautiful Phone ruined by TW and T-Mobile. Just because of this I just ordered the Galaxy Nexus. Even with its shortcomings its much better then this. It had ICS for half a year already. And we are dreaming for ICS and until we get it the next version of Android will be here.

I fail to register the fact that you buy a nexus over the t989 or i727 its a perfectly good phone that being said now that both s2's have ics its only a matter of time where dev's get creative and build ics roms that would have tw near non existent.. The dev's we have are clever...very clever i am sure that they will be cooking up some very interesting roms. Patients is the key and a lot of us have been patient.. Fruits will bear soon enough.

Well technically the Epic touch is still on Gingerbread so I don't think they would be able to port to our phone yet.
Once the source is released a good developer could build a stock AOSP ICS ROM for our phone...
It would be nice to start from a un-modified Android ROM so that we could have something similar to CM9 with tweaks specific for only the E4GT.

I totally agree with you on ICS based ROMs are buggy and laggy. I've tried a few now and I haven't really been blown away with ICS so far. And I agree with the need for an official build for our ET4G's.
But I don't think it's Samsung's fault totally, I'd almost place most of the blame on Sprint. The international GS2's have their ICS update, and we all know to well that the ET4G's update to ICS is being worked on and tweeted by Sprint. A good portion of our ICS custom ROMs come from Sprints development and leeks, so it's there.
Sprints got a few new ICS devices out like the new Nexus and EVO. Plus more in the works for this summer, mainly the GS3. I always feel that most of the "feet dragging" on updates are done by the carriers. Why would they be concerned with updating last year's hardware, it only costs them money. When they could focus on selling us the next big thing with all the new bells and whistles and make some money. But hey that's just my opinion on the it.
For my money I'm sticking with 2.3.6... I've been running a stock, rooted, debloated rom as well as the stock kernel and modem for the last few weeks now and loving it. Using GoLauncherEX as my launcher I get no lag, and haven't had to deal with any lockups, random restarts or apps not working right or not at all.
Updates are always going to be an issue... I remember the wait for Froyo, it finally came out and most of us were disappointed with it. Then the wait for Gingerbread started... It fixed a lot of issues, but over the last year or so with the release of 2.3 and it's minor updates Gingerbread has become very stable and fast. Especially on devices like our ET4G'S, Gingerbread was originally written for lower spec devices so... On a device that's capable of running ICS it runs like a dream. But again that's just my opinion.

This is has been said a bazillion times but no one seems to get it. MIUI has a built-in THEME ENGINE. Who cares what the stock theme looks like?
Thanks for posting this, some cool things I didnt know about were shown in the video. Shaking your phone to organize icons is genius.
The funny thing is that most people that say they hate MiUi never actually gave it a try. Most flash it, play with it for 5 minutes and say they hate it. I know plenty of people that have done this and then finally gave it a real try and fell in love.

We don't hate MIUI, we appreciate their work. But I wish their work was more towards the Android World and not the iOS one, yeah they have a theme engine and what? Look at most of their themes! iOS-Wanna-Be ! - Why da heck they changed the Task Switcher to iOS style rather than keeping the Awesome ICS Style? They just want to sell more Mi-Ones or Mi-Twos now. Why trying to imitate iOS look ? Okay Android is free open source, but can we keep it a little more Androidish? Bring in lovely innovative features is AWESOME, they do it, but their Identity is just ' Look at me I can be an iOS too '
Now I would be against that, we chose Android by choice - We didn't want to buy iPhones.
I tried MIUI on my DINC back in the day and it was beautiful, but it's not just for me.
and on a GNex screen, all that white has to be killer on your battery so I respectfully don't use it.
But it is a wonderful looking OS tweak.
The only reason i dont use it is the rintones chooser. It requires you to use the built in music player which is crap IMO. Well at least thats how it was when i last used it a few months ago (on sensation)...
I used to really like it on the Nexus S but havent tried it on the Gnex.
All things aside, that video was VERY well done.

i don't know if it is possoble, but: i found an option in the latest jelly bean touch wiz leak, to activate TabletUi. I only tested it with Galaxy Nexus but it force closed. Smalldookie ordered a nexus 7, when it's there we will try.
If you want a 7" tablet with TouchWiz, Samsung has a lot of them for you to look at. Using a ported TouchWiz ROM on the Nexus 7 probably wouldn't work that well, with TouchWiz being propitiatory and all.

Apparently if a user installs Touchwiz, it negitavely affects anyone else significantly; because all customizations that others don't approve of obviously do this

Why not?
Apparently if a user installs Touchwiz, it negitavely affects anyone else significantly; because all customizations that others don't approve of obviously do this
This isn't a closed-down OS like iOS, but if you feel it should be, perhaps your using the wrong OS/device...

I just don't get why someone would buy a device and shoehorn something onto it like this. It seems like when stuff like this happens the performance isn't as good and features are missing.
Why not wait a month or two and wait for the manufacturer to develop it properly, then have vanilla android built for it? You get the best of both worlds. With the price to performance ratio, and popularity of the platform, it is bound to happen.
Edit: Additionally, it can be viewed that wanting this would tell manufacturers "We want your skin on any android device" and they would open it up to allow that to happen. However, it just seems they hear "I want your locked down customized device so much I'm going give you tons of money!" and things just continue as the locked down platform you mentioned.
To each his own. No its not a crime to want touchwiz but it's a forum so I'm going to state my opinion

The only reason I considered a galaxy tab 2 was because touchwiz. It just makes a tablet more fun, has alot more options.
But it also is missing the drag and drop to create folders functionality. Folders in Touchwiz act more like gingerbread. Also don't get the screenshot button, it's pointless, screen shots are already built in holding power + volume down. The screen shot virtual button is easy to bump.
To each his own. Ever since I put cm7 on my captivate I've been somewhat of an android purist. I always thought sense looked cool so I got my vivid and flyer to check it out and found i didn't like it as much as I though I did. Sense is neat but unnecessary and makes customization a pain. I activated the aosp lockscreen on my vivid yesterday only to find out that alarms and phone calls won't display when the phone is locked because Sense uses its lockscreen to display the information.
I think pre ics the skins were necessary because android was an ugly beast and most of the core apps were very basic but ics and up android looks gorgeous and skins just impede on its natural beauty. Put it this way when my vivid got its ics update I was sure if it updated or not. Everything still looked like gingerbread. I had to check the settings to make sure I was indeed on 4.03. And htc disabled the over scroll and ics animations!

I'm guessing by your reply that your not interested in what the man has put on the table? He's not looking for a theme if I read it correctly he's looking to pay someone or find somebody that will help him achieve a specific theme for TW. I could be wrong.
Probably not wrong. I'm in a similar situation. I'm running wildchild's xquizit xd rom (touchwiz based with mods) with some theme options in the kitchen. I really want a full theme but there is not any that I could find. I am working on my own but have never done it before so getting over a learning curve. But as soon as i do, i'd be happy to share.

I too am willing to pay if someone can fully port the purple kush cm10 theme to wicked_v6.
Even better if someone could make a theme engine for TW ICS ROM's like the one for CM9/CM10. So you flash different themes like mixer, kiwi cobalt, purple kush...etc

Link me to some themes, if I like them, I'll port them.
I like the TW look and interface, but it's not to have options.
I've ported themes for the Vibrant and Galaxy S 4G before, both TW phones.

Exactly how I feel, I tried to learn how to theme but just don't have the time. For something that extensive I learn better hands on with someone doing it and explaining while I watch and learn. Quite frankly I feel stupid that I can't get it..
The funny thing is I like the theme so much that i'm on Liquidsmooth( AOSP that I like best ) just so I can use the theme...lol:laugh:

No... thank u for the request. I hope it can be done, but don't have too high of hopes. I've never seen a TW or Sense (HTC) ROM run an aosp theme. Maybe it can be done and people just don't desire it, and that's y I haven't seen it. I would love the cobalt blue or crimson red myself as well so I will be watching this thread to follow the progress
