I was wondering the same thing myself. I really enjoy touchwiz, some of the white background on your contacts and menu I have saw on the s3/s4 are pretty cool. and to be honest I cant stand Stock Android. I loved Gingerbread but once the ICS upgrade came out and they got rid of some features that I enjoyed I have been using touchwiz ever sense. I messed around with the one of the many 4.3 roms and the whole PIE thing drove me insane plust it was just very very slugish and plus no facebook sync with contacts and calander without installing hacksyc...
Realistically the 4.1.2tw ROM on the s2 and s3 are the same, besides multi window, and a few other minor differences, so to port it would be almost impossible, as hardware issues won't allow a "port" the closest u will get is Embryo ROM by mohan, I reccomend it highly, very stable, very fast touchwiz ROM with all the s3 goodies

I thought I was the only one who hated stock android, it seems boring to me, I do like the blue colors though.
Hello !
I tried alot of Roms on my Wonder..
Honestly I stopped at F.A.W.
It's the best one for me, battery is OKEY, not goot but okey..., I don't care about the Design. BUT, I hate the GB Lockscreens..!
I hate the Code lock, Pin lock, draw lines lock (what ever it's supposed to be called in english, im german..) and slide the screen away. Samsung did a really dirty job with the lockscreens... I mean, loock at the iPhone. Im not a fanboy of iPhones etc. but sliding a Button ist the best lockscreen. Or HTC Sense, slide away a ring. Man that's what I call lockscreen..!
The ICS Lockscreen is also alright.
I want ICS Lock (or if possible, HTC Sence Lock) on my Wonder (F.A.W. Rls2 - Gingerbread 2.3.6)
I know there are Apps/Tweaks like "Hololocker" etc. But honestly they never work right for me..! The first few hours everything is alright. Later, it starts to show the wrong Time etc. AND sometimes I even need to go through TWO Lockscreens. The standard GB one, and Holo Locker...
And in fact, this is really annoying me. I hate TouchWizard and the general "Samsung Style", and If I knew this before, I would have bought the HTC Desire S or something like that. But Im okey with the Wonder, and I don't want to say it's a bad mobile, cause I would be lying...
But the Lockscreen, is the only point which is really annoying me hard..!
So, is there any possibility to install ICS Lockscreen on GB ? A Mod ? Which works well and don't gets stuck all the time ?
I'd appreciate help
Btw. Im not using ICS Beta 2, because the Batterie is really just a piece of... on my wonder. It lasts 4 hrs, while I do absolutly nothing. (well okey, sometimes i check the Time, but that can't use my battery that hard...) AND the WiFi Connection is awfully slow on my Wonder... So I want to stay on FAW. Just wanted to mention that..

Hi
to till now me also didnt find ICS lockscreen yet & i use all 3rd party apps like Holo Locker (sucks) iPhone locker or GO Locker (much better then others) but ICS lockscreen is very good, So there is no zip flash file that you want (in my view)
If u really crazy for ICS lockscreen then become as CM9 series ROMS such as inDroid RemICS, Digital AOKP, Bio Hazard, etc...
you'll able to see ICS lockscreen and all functions on ICS in your GTW.

I know, but I hate these Launchers. None of them works well. No one ! (in my opinion..) and I don't want to use CM9/10 because the WiFi Connection is really too slow for me..! +Battery drain...
So I want to stay on GB... Think there's nothing to do for me...
When I was still on GB, WidgetLocker always work without fail.
I've left GB, though. I'm on CM9b3 now with 'pristine' install, and couldn't be happier
-- GT-I8150 + DXKL1 + CM9b3 + xda --
I'm really enjoying cm10 on my nexus, and have for months. I feel very little compulsion to upgrade to a 4.2.1 rom, but at the same time...I'm and android user! Flashing roms is what we do!
Are there any features that I'm really missing out on in 4.2.1 that you have grown to love?
Most of the 4.2 apps like camera which has photosphere can be installed on 4.1 so things like that, you dont need to update for. The few things you would get from updating are the lock screen widgets and quick settings. Thats all I can think of off the top of my head. Maybe some performance increases and other stuff under the hood. I'm on CM 10.1 and loving it though.

Oh yeah, should have clarified that I'm already running the 4.2 app transformation pack, so I'm using the 4.2 apps. Otherwise that would be a great reason to upgrade.
Pretty much just the pulldown toggles. While I do run pmg and some mods I enjoy stock and the pulldown means that 4.2 is the first time I've been able to run basic stock and not feel like I was missing something.
The keyboard is my favorite feature, but that can be installed w/o the update. The quick settings are okay, but meh. CM's G+ page says 10.1 "M Series" is coming soon.
No real to die for features IMO. I am on 10.1 only for Faux kernel tbh... if he still supported 10 I'd have stuck with it.
Everything you get in 10.1 is there in CM10 with the exception of the poorly implemented lock screen widgets that I've disabled anyway.
Nope. Nothing killer. But it's new, and thus we flash it.
Not really features but I get much better battery life and for the most part 4.1.2 ROMs and kernels are no longer being updated
No to die for features. And 4.2 is a lot less stable right now than 4.1 with all the SoDs and stuff. I say stick with the transformation pack and wait for another update from Google
Just a question.
There is a porting of Lockscreen(ring) by Sense for Android Jelly Bean 4.2?
I don't want Agile Lock and similar but a little modify also for rooted phone.
Thank you.

It is my understanding that you need the whole Rosie e.i. the Sense framework for the sense lockscreen to work so there is no way (at least not an easy one) for just porting the app because it's system integrated... You're better off with a 3rd party lockscreen like go locker etc. Just to let you know that there is sense 4 + JB in development so keep an eye on the dev thread in about a month

So, there is not a method for the porting of Rosie "lockscreen".
I don't want go locker, agile lock or similar because they are not perfect. They drain more battery than stock JB locker and occasionally the stock launcher appear without permission.
Good news about sense 4 + JB. It's what I need, because JB is very smooth, light and with poor battery drain, Sense instead is awesome but too expensive about ram.
Thank you for your information, i'll be waiting for news.

No, like I said, there is no way of porting just the lock screen. You need the entire sense framework to make it work because it's tightly system integrated... Well just have to wait for the jb + sense

Hi everyone,
I really like Aopk and I have used it on my old S2. I was really exited when it came out for the S4 and I flashed it right away but I was really disappointed when I saw that the S4 features were not there. Is there a rom that is very similar to Aopk and has all the S4 features or at least has a very similar lockscreen (very important to me)? I looked at a lot of ROMs that have the S4 features but they look almost the same way as the S4 original look (stock). I wan't it to be stable because I use it for work and for school and I can't have it doing weird things on me. If there isn't a ROM like that is there any way I can take the Aopk ROM and take another ROM that has all the S4 features and some how combine them?(my only complaint to Aopk is that it doesn't have the S4 features)
Oh and by the way, I have the T-Mobile S4
Thank You
If by 'S4 features' you mean the samsung apps and TouchWiz UI then no. Those are locked into the stock rom. There are roms that remove the carrier bloat of the original rom while leaving TouchWiz and samsung apps intact, which it sounds like you have found. But I dont think its possible to add the samsung apps to something like AOKP. AOKP and AOSP are by definition open source so using the closed source Samsung software wouldnt make sense. Thats my understanding, I may be misinformed.

Yea it's not really possible. The closest thing you would get is by taking one of the Google Edition ROMs and hacking in the features yourself since they do run on the TouchWiz Framework and Kernel, it's just stripped down to Vanilla Android.
By the features I mean NFC, S Beam, Air view, Motions and gestures, and stuff like that. Can you guys explain what you said in the previous posts a little more, because I have simple knowledge about ROMs but I am not all that advanced. Is there any way I can at least completely change the lockscreen to look like Aopk's if I can't have Aopk and the features?
Thank You

Stock ROM runs on stock everything, as well as Touchwiz Launcher.
AOKP,CM10, and AOSP Roms Run on Trebuchet, Nova or Apex Launcher.
Stock ROM has al lthese features built in, as well as proprietary files that are made just for stock Touchwiz Period. The have been signed and designed to work with TouchWiz Roms only..
Now if you want Aokp type Lockscreen, there are plenty of Mods and Themes that Can help You with that, PLENTY, Look in the THEMES & APPS SECTION of t he International Galaxy S4 section or the T-Mobile Section. Spend a little more time on XDA as well and you'll find the answer to your question in little or no time at all.
But In simple form, NO , Those features you listed only work on touchwiz Roms, and just a small thing as changing the launcher can disable som of them permanently.
If I help. Please Hit the Thanks Button

Unfortunately not. But The International Roms are feature packed my friend. Try The Omega Rom, and you can pretty much use the domination theme. P.M Me for more help buddy.
The closest you're going to get is to run Apex or Nova launcher and a AOSP based lock screen on the stock ROM. Not a bad solution and it will retain all of the S4 TW features.

Can you please give me a link to exactly what you are talking about(or download link)? I really want a lockscreen with a slider and you slide to an app and then you put in your pattern to unlock and then you go you your application you've chosen or to your home screen.

Lockscreen - Holo Locker Plus - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.locker.plus&hl=en
Launcher - Either Apex or Nova
I've been on CM for the last few years, but I've been running Wicked V4 on this new S4 and LOVE it. Since my OG droid in '09, this is one of my favorite ROMs. Performance-wise it's really really good. Best battery life I've every had on a phone (don't know how much of that is S4 and how much of that is ROM/kernel)
It's AOSP-ish in that it's fully debloated (no samsung or T-mo apps), and it's not themed. That being said, it runs on the TouchWiz framework, so you get all the S4's new hardware features.
It's also a little CM-ish in that there's some minor configurability with respect to the notification bar (clock colors, position, battery icons, etc)
Give it a try!!

I recommend either the infamous ROM or the Wicked ROM. 3minit settings (infamous) makes the phone very customizable. Wicked has (and is expanding) his own ROM control. I've tried both ROMs and honestly don't miss AOSP whatsoever.
It's easier to click "thanks" than type it.

Hi,
I really like Apex and I really like Holo Locker Plus so thank you for the suggestions but when I lock my screen and then press the power button 99% of the time Holo Locker Plus lockscreen does not appear it just goes to my home screen. How can I fix this? And how can I put a pattern lock on it?
Thanks

Not sure about the power button issue. As far as the pattern lock, it should display after the holo screen. Stock would work this way too.
If you like asop looks and theme try this this theme on touchwiz rom

Thank You for all the suggestions, I have a quick question though. Is the OMega ROM good and stable and will it work on my T-Mobile S4?
Yes, it will. Just make sure you flash a T Mobile based kernel afterwards. Otherwise you'll boot loop.
