This thread shows what AOSP (pure Google ICS) apps are safe to replace Touchwiz Apps with on your Galaxy S III to get that Nexus/CyanogenMod type pure ICS look and feel (see screenshots below). These have been tested with S-Voice and it is still able to open links and commands in the ICS apps.

I am not responsible for any issues or problems with your phone. You are messing with System Apps. I highly recommend creating a Nandroid Backup before starting in case something goes wrong
Requirements
Your phone must be rooted and have Super User installed. I highly recommend making a Nandroid Backup in ClockworkMod Recovery before moving system apps just in case.
Install Root Explorer and Titanium Backup from the Play Store.
Steps
Download the APK file you want (linked below)
Uninstall the original Touchwiz application through Titanium Backup then reboot your phone. I recommend backing up applications before you uninstall just in case something goes wrong or you want to restore them.
Open Root Explorer and navigate to your download folder under SD Card
Long press on your downloaded APK file, select move and navigate to your System App folder.
Select Mount R/W at the top of Root Explorer and touch Paste.
Long press on the APK and set permissions to rw-r-r-- (See image at end of post.)
Touch the moved APK file and install it. If you get an error message, make sure the Touchwiz Version of the app is uninstalled. Reboot, then try again.
Tested and confirmed to work
Gallery
Update 6/24: Uninstalling the Touchwiz Gallery causes the Touchwiz Camera to force close after taking a picture and touching the thumbnail preview on the bottom right side. Workaround: Close the camera app and open the AOSP Gallery to preview the picture.
Browser (Must first uninstall the Touchwiz Browser. It is listed as "[BOOKMARKS] Internet 4.0.4-T999UVALEM" in Titanium Backup. Reboot. Then proceed to step 5.)
Calendar (Must first uninstall the Touchwiz Calendar. It is listed as "Calendar 4.0.4-T999UVALEM" in Titanium Backup. Reboot. Then Proceed to step 5)
Update 6/25: Make sure you uninstall only the Touchwiz Calendar (you can tell by the icon listed in Titanium Backup.) If you uninstall the one with the AOSP Calendar Icon you may lose Calendar Sync and S-Voice support for the Calendar.
Messaging (Must first uninstall the Touchwiz MMS App. It is called "[SMS/MMS Prefs] M... 4.0.4-T999UVALEM" in Titanium Backup. Reboot. Then Proceed to step 5.)
Calculator
Movie Studio
(Update 6/29) Email/Exchange (Must install both AOSP Email and Exchange APK's in order to work. In order to install you Must first uninstall the Touchwiz Email AND Exchange App in Titanium Backup. Reboot. Then Proceed to step 5. I was having issues connecting to Hotmail/MSN/Live account servers but had no issues with all others. May be temporary server issue. More testing needed.)
Tested but had issues
Clock/Alarm (Force closes upon reboot)
Camera (Will not work. Thanks naturefreak85 for testing)
Still need to download and test
Phone/Dialer (isn't supposed to work due to Touchwiz frameworks)
Contacts (isn't supposed to work due to Touchwiz frameworks)
Grabbed from the Play Store
Nova Launcher
ICS Keyboard
Having Issues?
Read the OP completely
Make sure permissions are set properly on the app you're trying to install. In Root Explorer, long press on the APK you're trying to install and set permissions. It should be set like this:
Make sure the Touchwiz version of the app is uninstalled. Don't uninstall more than you need to (Calendar).
Reboot after making changes
Restore the original app using Titanium Backup or do a Nandroid restore if all else fails.

Will replacing the messaging app keep the notification icon on the lock screen working, or do I have to keep the Samsung version for this functionality?
AndroidFan4, I can't thank you enough. Using your guide I was able to replace the touchwiz messaging app with the ICS messaging app without issue. I find delivery confirmations to be useless in the touchwiz version (the confirmation shows up as a second message). In the ICS app it works like blackberry messenger where the delivery confirmation appears as a green check mark next to the sent time.
Thanks!

This is fantastic and thanks for figuring this out.
I don't have the phone yet (still debating between the S3 or the Galaxy Nexus) but this might push me towards the S3.
One question though. The stock browser on the S3 does text reflow pretty weird. It doesn't let you pinch to a zoom level you'd like and then double tap to get text to reflow, something I've heard the Nexus does with no problems. I know it may sound silly but this is the main thing keeping me from the S3.
If you use the AOSP browser on S3 following these instructions does it follow the regular S3 style text reflow (I tested this on a demo unit and from what I could see text is just automatically squished to one side regardless of zoom level) or does it revert to the reflow behavior seen on a Nexus?
Thanks!
Awesome. Thanks for this!

It will remove the Samsung messaging icon that notifies you in the middle of the lockscreen. You can however add the AOSP messaging app to the quick launch bar on the bottom of the lockscreen for essentially the same thing and you'll still get the LED notification and notification bar alerts for messages.
You can find that option under Settings/Security/Lock Screen Options/Shortcuts.

I no longer have the Samsung Browser installed so I can't test but you are supposed to enable the setting on the AOSP Browser by pressing Menu/Settings/Advanced/Auto-Fit pages in the AOSP Browser. I just tested and it doesn't appear to be working like it has on some of my other devices. Pinch to zoom will zoom in without reflow and a double tap zooms it back out. I'll double check with another AOSP Browser APK to see if it fixes it.

Well S-Voice is designed to work with the Samsung Apps so that makes sense. Honestly, with all my previous devices I've always been quick to get AOSP ROM's/Apps on my phone, but I'm thorougly impressed with this phone and its software, replacing most of these with pure ICS apps seems more of a downgrade if you ask me.

Out of curiosity, I restored my copy of CM9's Trebuchet Launcher that was backed up on my old HTC Glacier running a CM9 build. Works perfectly on my phone, and brings it even closer to that stock Android feel everyone's clamoring for.
I can't vouch for anyone else's phone, but you can get the launcher here (requires root, includes instructions): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410674
EDIT: At the end of the thread, there's one or two GT-I9003 users using it as well, it seems.

Weird I didn't have either of those issues. In Titanium Backup I remember seeing two Calendars listed. One had the Touchwiz Calendar icon and one had an AOSP Calendar Icon. I only uninstalled the Touchwiz one. Maybe that was the issue. I'll update the OP indicating to only uninstall one of the two.

Hey that browser reflow issue you have isn't silly at all. I use my phone primarily for browsing, even a lot while I'm home & that is a feature all of my HTC phones have. Unfortunately the gs3 doesn't do the reflow, even w/ the double tap like on my Transformer Prime. This is honestly the only feature that this phone is lacking to make it the complete package for me. I asked in the q&a thread if anyone knows of a browser that may have this feature, but I got nothing? I'm not sure if it has to be coded into the phones framework? Now I own a lot of devices, but let me tell you that even without that feature, don't short yourself by passing on the gs3. I'm using it primarily for now, and while I rely on that feature, I'm loving this phone even without it. The Gnex is a nice phone, I had it & sold it, but not because it wasn't nice. But, the fact is the gs3 is so smooth that it's the first phone that really made me think that the hardware is finally there, finally so smooth. In my opinion, the One X is the only device that I've test drove that's in the same class as the gs3, and that was the international one x.

I've never actually had a browser do reflow like that so i had to find a google video showing exactly what you mean.
After some research using stock sgs3 browser, ics+ browser, dolphin hd, firefox for android and opera mobile the only browser on sgs3 that i can get to do this is opera. I've messed with settings on all of them and opera is the only one that does it and it does it automatically when you pinch to zoom, so no need for double tap. I actually find this more annoying than helpful myself, but I hope this information helps you out.
How about the ICS email?
Has anyone tested out the dialer yet? That seems to be the only thing I would really want (for the google voice app integration).
If anyone has, how does S Voice handle being told to make calls and stuff? (need that for hands free driving)

After some hunting, I've found opera, and maxathon both work for reflow. The opera browser kind of stutters and I don't care much for it. Maxathon is tolerable though and I could probably get used to it. This feature is just very important for me, as I'm reading on the Web at least a couple hours every day, and I think it makes it much easier for me. I want the HTC browser! Lol

Superior in what way?
Thanks a lot!
The standard samsung app is better than stock but graphically deviates too much from holo.
I immediately downloaded the application that you have shown me, but unfortunately doesn't work ... After having opened app it crashes.
In particular, he shows me the list of all messages (distinguishing read from unread) but when I try to go into a conversation stops everything.
I use GoLauncherEx on Samsung official 4.0.3 rom. When the application crashes, even golauncher crashes! For a few seconds the screen is all black (it show me only tray bar)!
I know that GoLauncherEx isn't optimized for ics but is the only launcher that lets me create folders in the program list (I have much application and I need it!).
Actually ICS isn't very stable on my device and I'm almost regretting gingerbread!
I can do anything about it?
Thanks again for your support,
I hope one day I'd help forum people.

That is very strange. Which firmware did you install? I installed XEO (polish version) and didn't get a single crash or problem what so ever. I had a few problems in rooting it, though (needed to wipe it first and re-flash the orginial ICS firmware before rooting to get the root rights recognized). But once that got fixed, everything was and still is perfect.
Or maybe it is because of the go launcher ex? I was using TW the entire afternoon (13.03) without crashes. At night I installed Apex launcher as system launcher and no crashes either (one day running), very low battery consumption and awesome looks. You can add the ICS Theme Pack from kovdev to get the ICS icons.
Hello element!
I've installed the XEO firmware, then polish, just like you.
I have not done the wipe but updated via OTA.
I had already installed GoLauncher. When I've upgraded I've selected Golauncher instead of Tw.
Currently I have encountered frequent application crashes and one total block of the system. The battery, to be honest, I can not tell if it lasts more than gingerbread why I used the phone a lot for various customizations.
I do not know if the problem is that I did not do a wipe.
If he continues to give me problems I do a backup. After I install the rom again.
Tonight I remove the battery and after power on. Tomorrow, we'll update on my test.
PS The biggest problem is GoSmsPro. it sends multiple messages at one time. If I send you a message, you will receive two. I do not know how to solve.
PS2 The root I did with Odin and had no problems ...
Thanks for the help,
Hello!
As I promised you I a write updates.
I solved the problem of low stability: I made a deepclean and then installed applications without syncing (I installed all the applications manually).

Hey, check it out: One so called Tim Hutt put the stock calendar, messaging, and launcher app in the market and they all work just fine for me. The apps are called "Android 4 ICS Messaging SMS", "Android 4 ICS Calendar", and "Android 4 ICS Launcher".
The only bug I have (and it's not a big one) is that the screen doesn't light up when you receive a text message... Perhaps this is because I disabled/removed the official Samsung messaging services though... If you leave the default services enabled, then the screen lights up like normal but you have to select a setting in the ICS messaging app to disable the message receiver because then both the Samsung app and the ICS app will both write the text message to the database and you'll have duplicate incoming messages. Just go to settings and scroll to the very bottom to see what I mean... Enable that option if you don't remove the Samsung services/apps.

Haven't seen any other thread so I'm posting here.
To start off, playing with the swiping keyboard is troublesome for me... I never liked Swype and I suck at swyping anyway tapping seems faster... Or maybe my finger isn't greased properly...
Otherwise, I have noticed that Agent Dash seems to stutter less in my 5 minutes of testing. The kernel's changed so I don't get those frequent flashing and random reboots (not yet anyway) (knock wood!).
No miracast streaming. No change in the radio performance thus far. There's a new antialiasing option in the Dev options though.
Seems alright, I'll say. Sans the swiping (which is a personal preference, cause it slows me down if I type carefully... Which you need to do if you want to make any sense... Go figure!)

I sense a lag after the update; even after two reboots.
The lock screen is almost rubbish IMHO. Its like having multiple screens with widgets.
As for the toggle I was expecting much much more. Don't mind the keyboard at all.
I don't have a 4.2 OTA, but I've been running the leaked apps on my Gnex for weeks.
Here's my impressions:
Keyboard is great for one-handed typing, I don't care who you are you have to admit that it makes it a little easier to type when you only have one had available and I'm a fan of it.
Camera is alright, I feel like the pictures (at least on the Gnex) didn't look as good as they should've but that was a .apk from a Nexus 4, so it's understandable. Also Photo Sphere works pretty well if you know how to take the pictures correctly and not move the phone around too much.
From what I've seen of the official 4.2 features, lock-screen widgets look really unfinished, quick settings needs some work and the ability to customize it, and I still don't know if HDR is on the Gnex yet.
Overall I'm a little skeptical if this will be a definitive "upgrade" or not.

Bad one, downgraded to 4.1.2
First thing is, that you cant use gesture typing on my languange (finnish) so useless feature. Locksreen is crap i think like comparing the ways to widget locker, android loses 5-0. the build is also laggy, and apps is crashing and i get reboots. Would not recommend this, maybe later when batter version is avaible

Everything seems to be running smoothly so far. I flashed 4.1.2 stock, unrooted, flashed the 4.2 zip and re-rooted and all that jazz.
Starting from new sucks (have to re-do screends and such), but it's also nice to start over fresh.
Lock screen are interesting but I find myself trying to swipe to the next one, but registers as a pattern instead (pattern password lock). When I start getting more texts/events I'll be able to find the usefulness of it all.
Swipe is really nice on the keyboard. I'm a button-press guy, but this is sort of refreshing. I like seeing the word develop as I move my finger around. Will I use the all the time? Maybe. I'll give it this week to test out.
Pull-down with quick settings is a useful feature. If it had data as well, that'd be amazing. I usually turn on wifi, turn off data just to make sure I'm not wasting it on my ATT plan. The icon for my name in the top left is kind of useless though. Just shows a small amount of contact information. Maybe it'll be the spot for profiles in the future.
Speed and performance is amazing as always. Ever since Jelly Bean it's been responsive and quick to load apps. Only when something is downloading in the background does the OS get a little sketchy. That's nothing to worry about though.
Remember to tap 7 times on About > Build Number to enable Developer Options. It's only been maybe half an hour, so I'll keep running through the various features to get the full experience down. Next up: Photo Sphere.
It's really smooth and stable for me. Even better than 4.1.2. I like the new styling and I fell in love with new additions right away. Like I mentioned before, I'm a bit bothered by a "recent apps" menu. Everythime I close (slide) an app, it laggs. The whole thing just blinks for a bit. Otherwise, everything runs well.
Oh, and I don't have "pinch to zoom" in Gmail.. checked in the settings, if I missed anything, but nothing... any ideas?

Damn, I must be blind... thank you so much!
Not particularly impressed with the lockscreen widgets. And the colors are terrible! Can't wait for a custom kernel to drop so I can get that sorted! Apart from that, it's been okay so far, except for the slightest bit of lag, which seems to have settled in now. I guess it's a little too early to tell since most of us would still be installing our apps and customizing it, etc. Can't say much about the keyboard since I'm not a very big fan of the swipe keyboard. I'm happier with SwiftKey!
Swype feature is working well. Camera looks good but forced closed few times. Once it hung and I had to take out my battery to restart.
Setting panel is a disappointment ..was expecting toggle to be available. Didn't face any lag.
Btw i don't see the thumbnail of clicked snap when my camera is on so I had to go to gallery to check the clicked snap.
Also new play store doesnt show manual updates seperately.

Can anyone tell me if wireless display is activated via the OTA? Am extremely interested to know if Miracast is a software feature or not.
The Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S builds still use the old 3.0 Linux kernel. Only the Nexus 4 build uses the newer 3.4 kernel. Is there a good reason why the new kernel isn't used in the other builds?

There have been apps available for years that accomplish the exact same thing, I can stream music/video to my AppleTV & PS3. So I see that as a total cop-out, if true.
Am I the only one that hates the built in Gallery App and how slow it is when you have a lot of pics.
This isnt a problem as I have QuickPic installed. However the Messaging (and Mail) add do NOT give you a list of image pickers when you attached (very anti Android HTC)
Can someone fix this? Or know a solution.
Thanks

I quite like the stock gallery, it's smooth for me and is a whole world smoother than the stock gallery on the S3 and S4. QuickPic is nice though

I have 37 albums with 50-100 pics in teach. Trust me it's slow, and every time I attach a pic it defaults to events install of albums.

Anything will be a bit slow if its got a possible 3700 photos, especially since it's always auto generating zoes on the fly. Not sure about the whole events thing, if I pick Albums it stays as albums, even if I add new photos. Sounds like you'd be better off just using QuickPic to be honest and you'll just have to work with the Gallery as it is. Maybe try a different messaging app and see if it lets you dictate what app to use when attaching photos.
Edit: I'm using GoSMS. Tried attaching a photo as SMS and it brought up a list of apps to choose from (gallery, dropbox etc)

Thanks but thats the issue really.
I am using a combination of Handcent and Stock - the reason I have to go to stock is sending MMS over Wifi (TMobile). Handcent doesnt support that.
So its just an annoyance but one I was hoping to resolve by just using Stock - but without it being able to attach from 3rd party Galleries it is a problem.
I am just frustrated that HTC didn't make their Messaging/Mail app support the normal Android methods of attaching files and providing a list of compatible apps.
Also of note - when you are in QuickPic and you Share a Image - the messaging App doesn't appear. Which again - bad HTC Bad!!!

Yeah that really is silly of them, forcing you to use their apps pretty much. Same as how they've made it so that only their official headset with volume controls actually work. All other 3 button headsets can only skip tracks
try uninstalling the default gallery
This is by far the smoothest, cleanest, most intuitive SMS app I've used on android. Its simplistic and gets straight to the point, without trying to overdue anything by adding ridiculous features. The transitions and animations are brilliant and simple IMO. I've owned an iPhone since day 1 of them being announced until this phone was released. I can honestly say that I liked iPhones simple and intuitive messaging app but it was missing features, this hits all those points. The group messaging on this app works flawless just like the group messaging on an iphone. The main reason I hate the stock SMS app on the HTC One was that it took up way to much landscape and MMS was horrible. The only thing about this app is that it is sorta in beta and I did have to add my own MMS settings manually which was not really a problem. Make sure you know how big of a file size MMS your carrier allows...AT&T is 1MB. I got my MMS settings here MMS Settings
The creators of this SMS app are the same creators from ChompSMS
--Remember this app was only released a month ago, many features are being added every couple of days.
--I FORGOT TO MENTION....IT IS ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does look promising coming from a handscent user.
Uninstalled after I realized you can't even change to a dark theme. Or customize anything for that matter.
It is however very simple and clean. If that's what you are looking for this is all you.

I would still remove it knowing that they're probably both running in the background and the only way i have been successful at removing it was to remove it during tweak package on trickdroid install.
it does not have that much of customization as the other sms apps like go sms pro..chomp..handcent...hands down

This is one of the major reason i like it, it has everything I need but a tiny few things, which will be added, like i said its been out a month give it time, but the things it does do work flawlessly and intuitively. This is one of the main reasons i like it. I send text i send mms, i send group msgs. Simple that's all i need and it does this perfectly. If you like all those features stick to that app. HANDS DOWN

i have over 11k text messages and it takes a good 5s to load the conversations when it should be instantly on chompsms..right now im using go sms pro and it runs flawless..the thing i dont like about go sms is that when u set a wallpaper as the background it resizes to a lower quality wallpaper.chompsms does not have this issue
Tried it. Seems easy to use, nothing to set up. A very functional simplicity...but I'd still say a bit too simple. Is it just me or are you unable to send pictures/videos etc with this? I couldn't figure out how to.
Overall still a very nice app.

Again..I will have to stress to you guys once again...its been out for only 1 months time they will add many features don't judge it on being to simple just yet....its made by Chomp which has more features then i require.
i was using this for a bit as well, and it's nice and light and fast, but without setting up tasker profiles, i can't get messages on my pebble from 3rd party apps.
also, mms is kind of flakey for some reason even after setting up the apns.

I use pebble notifier and it sends notifications from this app just fine
Personally, I don't want this app to go down the Handcent/GoSMS route. If I want to be able to theme everything I'll download them. If I want something simple, fast and efficient I'll stick to this. Also love how replying from the notification bar brings down a little window with an emoji button. GoSMS has way too many options in options, not a fan
I really like the look but at present, not being able to receive delivery reports is a deal breaker for me. Add that and I'm in as I can't be bothered with apps for simple things like messaging that have way too many options.

I have to say I feel the exact same way. I've used this since after a week of it coming out and I love how simple and clean it is. I hate how bloated everything else is. This just works how I want it and it looks good.

Well I finally did it, I got my phone with Touchwiz, but AOSP style/themed, mostly a themed look I guess you'd say
I had to buy a couple or 3 apps but it's well worth it to me, so this is not a free solution, but for me, I'm ok with it, because now it's paid for and I can customize it a lot!
(Note: I am not advertising for these apps just explaining what it does in case someone wants to know before buying.)
Apps I use are:
-(PAY APP) Widgets locker (for the aosp style lock screen),
It also has android style sliders, and Iphone slider style, and of coarse the AOSP circle. You can customize this locker a ton, and add widgets and shortcuts to the lockscreen as well, it's the most intensive customization locker app I've seen yet.
-(PAY APP) Nova Launcher Prime.
I bought the prime because 1: I love it a lot, and 2: the paid version lets me hide apps in the app drawer and I personally use that feature so, as well you can customize the icons to look how you want to in the drawer and on the homescreen as well....other than that free version works fine. but it's good
to support some companies, and this one I highly respect, because they are tried and true.
-A flashable zip that changes the Touchwiz messaging to the AOSP/CM style messaging
I am not sure how to revert back though, so if you flash it your stuck with it as far as I can tell, unless someone figures out how to flash back to stock. I also do not do MMS, but basic sms texting, so I am not sure if that works with this, but I read it did. I also do not remember where I got this file at, but I can host it if someone would like it, just let me know.
-(PAY APP) exDialer (for the dialer of coarse)
Well worth the money to pay for it, because you can theme it as I did to look like the ICS/AOSP/CM style dialer and contacts, paid lets you have more functionality, such as single click dialing,as apposed to 2 step dialing with stock CM/AOSP dialer, you can theme the dialer to a style you like, IE: ICS style, Iphone style, Touchwiz style, etc..., just overall good and has good customization for a dialer.
-Gallery apk file, has the CM/AOSP camera and Gallery in it. It's a simple apk you jsut install it. I can also host this if anyone is interested.
As for the underneath part like settings and such, they are still Touchwiz style but I am using an AIO add-on with 3minit and quicktoggles in it, and gives me the 3 windowed settings and I can also customize the toggles, which are also Touchwiz style.
Some of the internal stuff is Touchwiz and can't be altered. I freeze a few touchwiz things such as gallery, camera, and contacts, but for the most part you can't modify the touchwiz stuff without messing up the system. Overall though it looks and feels more like the AOSP/CM/Stock android look and feel to me.
You can get rid of the contacts, gallery and camera if you wish, but I'd recommend against it, I would just leave them frozen since you may need them later down the road for whatever reason....a good example of this is, contacts......I froze it, then had to un-freeze it because I found out the exDialer would not export/import contacts, so I just un-froze the touchwiz contacts, imported my contacts then re-froze it and it's working fine. if you ever have to export/import though you will have to un-freeze it again, so I'd highly recommend leaving it frozen as well as the other stuff, because it doesn't hurt the system performance or eat up THAT much space when it's frozen and you won't have them in the way of your modified stuff either such as the cm style gallery and camera.
All I really wanted was the base stuff, so there are also other added modifications you can get or do and are a lot simpler than what I haev done such as AOSP mail, AOSP keyboard, AOSP calculator, etc..etc....I just shot for the base of it.
I'm posting pics to see what you all think....let me know, I personally am happy with the results.
I tried to grab a snapshot of every aspect of the system, so hope I covered everything.
This is my lockscreen app I bought called Widgets locker.

I added shortcuts and widgets so you could see it all.
The winamp player is a shortcut, The circle is built into the app, and you can customize each of the 5 around the circle, the other things are app shortcuts.
Each one works within the lock screen so it never leaves to the home screen, only the app, and once you finish it goes directly back to the lockscreen. Maps even works with it, I thought that was kinda cool.
This is the modified Touchwiz recent apps clear section, by holding home button down, it comes in the AIO mod I have, and adjusted to use the stock touchwiz icons look.
You can of corse, swipe each one away, or clear all.
This is the stock touchwiz settings with the 3 sections, also in the AIO mod I am using, but it's still the touchwiz look somewhat.
The sliders on the wifi and 4g are kinda messed up, they don't work once you slide them once so the work around is to tap it and go into the settings that way.
Here we have the CM/AOSP style messaging I use, it's a recovery flashable zip.
As stated above once you flash it, I personally do not know 1: if MMS works, as I use only sms, and 2: I don't know how to revert back to stock messaging, so do this at your own risk......I have used this and for sms it works fine, no problems found on my end.
This is of coarse the desktop with a basic wallpaper of choice, and themed icons, using nvoa launcher.
Here is what I meant about some stuff being touchwiz, and can't be changed, not as far as I know of anyways.
Notice the toggles are touchwiz. I'm ok with that though.
This is nova launchers widget drawer
And this is of coarse nova launchers app drawer.
Nothing special here, just typical nova launcher stuff. I just posted them to see the look is all.
This is the CM/AOSP camera.
I froze the Touchwiz camera and gallery and I use this apk instead.
Everything works good on it, and it has panorama, camera, camcorder, and also the photosphere, all of it works fine without lockups or force closes.
This is the CM/AOSP style gallery, also in the apk file above.
The camera and gallery are both in the one apk file.
This is the exDialer app I was referring to. This is the Contacts part of it.
and of coarse here is the dialer part of it
exDialer is ICS themed.
All in all I am very happy with the results.
That's something I'm always trying to achieve. The perfect set-up. I think I get there, but I never do. I don't think I ever will. It's great that you have it like you want it. Good job. It looks great.

Yeah, just keep plugging at it. I spent almost a month of endless trying roms, reflashing to stock, back and forth, because touchwiz just works, and I always seem to have 1: 3g LOS or 2: GPS lock on issues, with most every rom out there. I've tried a ton of them, and always end up reverying back to stock touchwiz. In the meanwhile I was always lookign how to make touchwiz more asop/cm/stock android like, and this is about the closest I could ever come.
I did however find a glitch with this. Not so much a glitch but a I guess you'd call it a hangup.......the touchwiz dialer can't be frozen, becasue somehow it corelates and connects with the dialing process, therefor you can't freeze it or else the dial part of the phone doesn't work, not even with a dialer.....it has to have the stock touchwiz dialer in tact before any dialer apps will work....my gues is the app calls on something from the rom in the dialer part instead of actually being a stand alone dialer.
That being said, useing shortcuts from apps or even stock android, it brings up the dialer of touchwiz, not the dialer app.
Even though the dialer part and contats part looks what the app shows, it's still calling on the dialing and connecting part of the rom.
My guess is it's part of the framework, and a lot of work would have to be done to get it to work like aosp or even use the aosp dialer instead of the stock touchwiz on touchwiz roms, that's why no one has delved into trying to make aosp stuff work on touchwiz, to much working with the framework to be worth the effort.......of coarse if I knew ANYTHING about programming I'd give it a tackle myself, but as much as I try, and I have tried for years to understand the programming end of it, it all just goes directly over my head.
So this is about the closest one can come without actually having aosp/stock android on their phones via touchwiz. The ONLY thing really left to tackle is the dialer/contact part of touchwiz, everything else is taken care of, so I'm hoping someone somewhere can find a resolve to using aosp dialer on touchwiz rom, but I don't hold much in that thought sadly........come all this way and have messaging, camera, and gallery all usable in touchwiz, and not the dialer part.
I've seen a TON of posts about using the aosp dialer in touchwiz, so I'm sure if anyone gets a fix on it or a working version of it for touchwiz roms, it would be a major downloaded file. I'd be on that wagon in a heart beat
Unfortunately I always end up back on TouchWiz as of late. It does just work. I don't have to flash certain kernels or mod to get it working the way it should.
Props to all the devs that do what they do.
I use hangouts for all my messaging, nova prime, and just the stock lock screen. And Google keyboard because Samsung and Swype suck! Also have action launcher pro.

Yeah I do the same, always end up on Touchwiz, simply because it just works correctly.
This way I have now is still GC01 touchwiz, just using apps and such to get the aosp look and feel, so it's not really aosp, although it still gives the impression of it.

Hey, that's not fair you are cheating! The fun part of the AOSP game on our device is to find out what doesn't work or stops working when you need it most!!

Wow dude you put a lot of wok into this. I have a suggestion about the phone but it might brick your phone. Let me try it myself...
I'm glad you got it working ^•^
[Edit]
Never mind!
Didn't work at all. The only way to do it is to install a kit Kat phone dialer and hide the other dialer ^-^

Heh, thanks, yeah I searched hi and low to try and get things the aosp way. I'm still itching ta put on an aosp rom, but every time i do I always get gps lock-on issues and/or 3g los issues. I think I've tried every rom out there, and every one (for me) has either the gps lock-on or 3g los signal, most of them have the gps lock-on issue, as apposed to the 3g los though, while some have both and some jsut the 3g los.
The 3g los is weird for me though, it's not a full blown los, it's more a flicker affect...it flickers in and out, other times it just gets lost in limbo, while the 3g signal still shows it's connected.
I worked on this setup about an hour in all I think it was, looking and searching and trying things out. I already had the AIO tweak, so that part was done, the hard part was finding a messenger, dialer and camera. Wish I could get the aosp dialer to work in touchwiz, that's all that's left really, other than the settings. If someone could jsut get the aosp/cm dialer to work in touchwiz, so many people would be on cloud nine.
I keep hoping that dastin will fix the 3g los issue, but it hasn't happened yet, otherwise I'd be on the kitkat version of his.
I also get the 3g los issue in cm10.2 now as well as hood pope, so not sure what's going on. I tried beanstalk and couldn't get the gps to work right, again the lock-on issue, revolt had the gps issue as well, Slimbean had the 3g and gps issue I think it was....One other one that everything worked on, started with an S< and was VERY basic aosp, but got pulled because the sorce I think it was.
I am (paycheck providing) next week on Friday upgrading to an s3, so I'm hoping that the gps lock-on issue works better on it than it does this s2.
Weird how some s2's have the issue, and others don't.....same company, same model/make, one has it other does not.
I guess that's why it's kinda hard to track down, is because while some with the EXACT same phone say "I have no issues with this or that" others say "I have this issue, or that issue"
Everything is touchwiz, except for the parts that are CM/AOSP.
Gallery, Camera, Messaging are all aosp/cm, dialer+contacts is an app, lockscreen is an app, the rest is the launcher and touchwiz.

I am (paycheck providing) next week on Friday upgrading to an s3, so I'm hoping that the gps lock-on issue works better on it than it does this s2.
Weird how some s2's have the issue, and others don't.....same company, same model/make, one has it other does not.
I guess that's why it's kinda hard to track down, is because while some with the EXACT same phone say "I have no issues with this or that" others say "I have this issue, or that issue"
Everything is touchwiz, except for the parts that are CM/AOSP.
Gallery, Camera, Messaging are all aosp/cm, dialer+contacts is an app, lockscreen is an app, the rest is the launcher and touchwiz.

Seems odd but even on the same chips therein lie minute differences that make them unique. So your device will be different and it will work in some Roms better than other. It also does not help that this phone's users seem to crave cutting edge over stability (my self included). So although we have kit Kat and nightlies and unofficial builds for everything we actually have nothing as stable as touch whiz. Mostly because it's funner to add features than to fix and debug. I'm currently working on an honest to god vanilla build for this device and I want to make it stable over feature rich since I believe xposed does that. But my I internet has be so poor lately ? it'd take me weeks to sync the aosp source... It'd be easier if I had a laptop ? but oh well. That's life. Good luck with your gs3 I want to upgrade as well. Probably something nexus
