[Q] Note 2 camera with best face working on AOKP?

Ive been able to get the note2 camera (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034867) installed and working on my AT&T s3 but features like best group pose and the like arent available. It mentions something about needing touchwiz and a deodexed rom. Has anyone got it to work with Tasks AOKP? (release 12/2) I was going to flash blackjelly because it is confirmed to work with that rom but i dont want to give up AOKP. This rom is ROCK solid but id love to have the Note 2's camera!

Nope. You need a touchwiz ROM.

Should I upgrade to S4 or not?

I have the S3, and S4's 441 ppi Screen is tempting me, but won't our GS3, have those features through a ROM? So should I upgrade or not?

Probably not. Unless you want Touchwiz running on the latest and greatest android build the GS4 is probably not the best way to go if you already have a GS3. Not to mention all those new features will be gone the minute you flash an aosp ROM. So YES if you want Toichwiz on the latest android version (4.2.2) but NO if you're an aosp guy or if you can handle waiting for the new features to be released on the GS3.

If in fact our tmobile s3 do not have an LTE radio then I myself might switch. I currently have the note 2 as well and I'm not 100% happy with either phones.

hmm feel like not worth to upgrade it
too few improvement

S4 is too much like the note 2.
Only plus for me is the quad core.
Transmitted from my SGH-T999.

I'll be upgrading to an S4, without replacing my existing S3 phone.
Outside the 1080P display, the TV remote and some biometric sensors, I'll have the same phone!
Samsung has already been quoted as releasing the software apps that do not require specific S4 hardware for the S3 and Note II. Look for it later this year.

Well if you're getting it for development don't count on many also Roms as cm team have already mentioned that they are not supporting the gs4. :/

[Q] Possible for ATT S4 Firmware to S3?

Hey i was just wondering if the new 4.2.2 touchwiz will be ported to the s3 from the s4? Because i know im not the only one hoping for the new touchwiz to come to the s3.

I would think it's the same as porting the s3 international firmware to the us variant. Different hardware, different set up. It'll probably brick your phone.

Oh wow really? So its not the same as like Sense on the HTCs when they were really only htcs getting newer sense roms?

Its not just the launcher its boot loaders, framework, kernels, and its all built for an 8 core exynos processer and we have a dual core Qualcomm
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

It'll never happen unless Samsung releases Touchwiz source code to work with. If they would to release it I would be very possible for that to happen, even have TW on non Samsung devices..
HTC Sense is just a skin to be honest (with the exception of the new Blink feed on HTC ONE) with a couple of fancy widgets that rely on that skin.
Sense was partially ported to a couple devices back in the day due to the fact that it is almost just a skin. (Any one can feel free to correct me on this one )
Galaxy S4's Touchwiz, not only is it a skin but the gestures and fancy thing the S4 has rely heavily on TW framework.
With out that TW source to be released we're out of luck

I sure hope att/sammy didn't build all that for the exynos octa. Would brick there qualcom quad cpu phones.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

Only a small portion of the S4s are gonna be running the exynos processor. Many will have the next iteration of Qualcomm's snapdragon. It will still be nearly if not entirely impossible to get the S4's firmware running on the S3. We already have 4.2.2 on the S3 though. Just gotta get on a custom ROM.

He asked if it will be ported... so it would not brick your phone if you tried, it just simply wouldnt work. Unless you try to flash unmodified s4 software on your s3

Might be stupid question but if we don't have source code for Touchwiz, how do we have TouchWiz custom roms..?

Custom TW Rom are built using the original TW firmware, with features added to them.
IF we had TW source code, we'd have the features and apps like TW camera on AOSP based roms....

Will we ever see a port? S 4

Does anybody think we will ever see a Galaxy S 4 ROM port? Based off the T-Mobile Galaxy S 4? Just wondering.
I didn't bother upgrading due to a lil change! Would you be sporting the ROM if its ported?

You should know what the likeliness of that is... And if its stable I'm sure lots would.

I seriously doubt it, so far the devs could not even port a S3 i9300 rom for our phones.
But I am sure the devs are working real hard on porting all the S4's new apps which
are missing from the S3 as well as the S4 camera.
There already are a few apps which came from the S4 which seem to work fine in our S3.
I would really like to see the S4 ported, but I would only use it if it had Wifi Calling.
The main reason why I am not using any ported roms is due to the lack of wifi calling plus all the other bugs ported roms seem to have.

I think there will be s4 ports for the S3, will they be perfect? Maybe in time.
I might try it out for a little while, but most likely stick with aospa. I couldn't stand not having PA hybrid settings as well as theme chooser.

Considering we have the Galaxy S3 slated for a Key Lime Pie 5.0.release we will have tons of ports of Galaxy S4. By the start of summer (June) I'm sure we will see more about it everywhere.

I just hope that the Lime Pie 5.0 is nothing like the current lmt pie.
The current pie should have come in two flavors, one for the DEVS and the other for average users. LOL

Here's the thing... The international S3 had completely different hardware. Qualcomm has been historically easier to port over because they use common code.
So I fully believe that in the next month or two, we will see S4 ports. On the other side though, quad core versus dual core. You're not going to have an S4
Sent from my SGH-T999

I doubt it will be any time soon. Multiwindow hasn't even been added besides the Synergy Rom.
And now that the S4 is out the devs will be focusing more on that because from what I've seen most devs from here got a S4.

And two other roms and there's almost a flashable zip ready. It's all possible, it's possible to have sense working on our phone too, but a lot work. It depends on how many awesome devs stick around, and if they're willing to take the time.
I'm not sure what's the big deal though. Most of the same gimmicky type features from the s3 are available in the from the play store, I'm guessing some from s4 will be too.

I think that it is likely we will eventually get some ports of features from the Galaxy S4. Samsung also said that they would be bringing the new features of the S4 to the S3 and other "flagship" devices in the future, so it will just be a matter of time.
But personally, I do not care because I do not care for TouchWiz. CyanogenMod trumps anything Samsung could have made.

To be honest with you guys im working on a port of s4 right now and multiwindow for stock rom and my sprint ports and att ports and a few other roms for other devices so if you guys give it time ill have it up

Closest thing to S4

What Rom do you guys think is closest to what the s4 is running?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Hyperdrive has an S4 theme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176793
and here you can find S4 ported apps, launcher, etc. I have never tried it though so i can't speak as to if they are bug free or anything else:

I remember when I had my Samsung Captivate, there was a ROM called REMICS. The ROM was essentially the S3 stock ROM, but ported to the Captivate. This was by far one of the best ROMs I've ever used, and it ran so smooth. Hopefully we will see something like this (S4 ROM working on S3) one day.
That's my "rant"...
