[Request] Touchwiz UI port from Galaxy Note & Galaxy S II - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps

Sunday, July 22, 2012
XDA Developers, Cooks, Themers, & Tweakers:
Is there any way to get the Touchwiz UI from the SGN & SGS2 4.0.X builds running on the I9300? I've tried simply carrying over the *.apk, but that doesn't work. I suspect that's because the *.apk requires additional resources (Touchwiz framework, libraries, etc.) from the SGN & SGS2 4.0.X builds in order to run on the I9300. If anyone out there has any experience with things like this, I would very much appreciate your help. I'd like to see last year's Touchwiz UI running on the I9300 relatively soon, so please, help me out.
Thanks in advance for anyone who helps.
Thank you,
Edward (Mister_Mxyzptlk)

By "UI" do you mean the Touchwiz launcher? If so, there's a few ports that should work. Try the Touchwiz 4.5 mod from the SII.

I appreciate that. I really do. However, unlike most people here on XDA, I actually do my homework BEFORE I post; and TW4.5 is a no-go. It crashes every time. Thank you though.

so vice versa...when trying to port S3 UI to S2, the entire framework had to be resized to 800X480, the native resolution of the S2, so I believe that you would have to expand the S2 UI from 800X480 to 1280X720, which would typically cause regraded resolution?
thats my assumption as to why it would be very difficult to do...from S2 to S3.

While using the Touchwiz UI from the SGS2 presents this problem, the Touchwiz UI from the SGN does not. As it's resolution is 800X1280, only minor changes would be necessary. Truthfully, I believe that the resolution discrepancies are of little concern compared to the missing framework components that will also need to be ported alongside the Touchwiz.apk. If anyone out there has had experience with this, we could really use your help.

I went on a similar quest a while back, since I find a four-icon dock more aesthetically pleasing, but ended up giving up on it when it turned out to have the same reloading issues as TW5. There are ports that work, but - naturally - I've deleted all the files I downloaded.
From memory, I would suggest looking for a single apk (Rather than apk + lib files, as there's quite a few ports) that was ported for the Galaxy Nexus. All the resizing has already been done, it's just a drop in /system/app deal. Most of the ports I found just force-closed, though.

Heres a complete Xperia NEO/NEO V port
How easy would this be to port?
Its the best ROM ever! You can have the entire tablet mode UI or entire phone UI or a bit of this a bit of that. You can make an app run in tab mode if it supports that, for example, chrome, I use it in tablet mode and its awesome. Per app density is another feature. You can control what density should the app run in.. its just plain amazing!

You know, a big thing with miui is themes, but I don't find myself using them. The standard look is fine for me, just with diff wallpaper

The first gallery is the albums from I forget what phone. Want to say its the xperia. U can find the thread in the themes section here and download it and it works good on our phones. The other one is the stock touchwiz galary and the third one is the stock miui galary.

You could always use the xposed framework and set apps to a different resolution and dpi. I changed gmail to a lower dpi and it's now in tablet mode.

Hmmm I see you want tw + tablet mode.
For that I think you can only use build.prop tweaks.
I think jellybam was 4.1.2 though aosp.

Multi-window

So, I've been searching for info on multi- window for our devices.. Seen its a WIP.. Just wanted to know if there had been any progress made..? I really would to try it out! BTW I appreciate all the work everyone puts into these custom ROMs! I think I'm addicted to flashing... Lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
No progress worth noting in the likes of a beta or anything, the note 2 has very different tw framework
Right on, but the shostock job ROM for the att s2 sgh i777 has the multi window available and it seems pretty smooth.. I really love the concept and hope that the awesome developers for our device can achieve it!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I was also excited to use multi window, but after using it on my s3, in my opinion it should stay a feature exclusive to 5 inch screens. It is very hard to use on anything smaller. It's cool to play with, but I will never find myself using it when I'm actually trying to get something done.

Multi window on a low resolution screen... completely retarded. Flash any skyrocket 4.1.2 ROM and try the pop up video player and you'll see what I mean.

ahem... i use it, if you pinch the video smaller it isnt that bad, and the quality is amazing. those of us who use smaller dpi dont mind the screen size and prefer it smaller/denser. not to mention as a delivery driver having navigation and calculator open at the same time would be awesome. possibly a pop up video too every now and then.
i would think somebody who didn't want that technology was retarded.
Indeed. Dpi resolution change certainly extends the Hercules' longevity.

Touchwiz with Aosp rom?

Hi is it possible to port touchwiz from the gs4 and flash it in an aosp rom or cm rom? I tried extracting touchwiz apk but it only force closes

If that was possible then the developers here in xda would ported many
of the Touchwiz's features into the CM/AOSP/AOKP/GE roms.
Good luck trying!
Yeah I understand. But there are flash able zip around the forum for different touchwizs that work with cm or aosp rom. The only problem is that they don't work with the s4 roms. Anyways, thanks for the reply

Understand that Touchwiz isn't simply an app. Touchwiz IS the rom that comes stock with Samsung devices.
You can't extract it and install it in other roms because it IS a rom.
It would be the same as trying to install CyanogenMod into TouchWiz.
Now, if you are talking about trying to install the elements of Touchwiz like the gesture stuff and eyeball tracking and what not...no. Those aren't portable into AOSP based ROMs. Theoretically those elements could be ported, but the developers who would have to put in hours and hours of work to reverse engineer them and figure out how to port them largely consider those features to be hokey gimmicks that aren't worth the time to mess with. So there are no plans to move those elements to AOSP ROMs (Wifi calling being the lone exception. Everyone wants that ported. Lots of people have tried to mess with it. So far it's not been successful.)
Thanks for the reply. Sorry if I sound demanding. I really appreciate the response. So no way to get the launcher itself and not the sensors or gestures?

The launcher that comes with TouchWiz? There's nothing super special about it. There are a dozen other launchers on Google Play that do more.
Yeah I like the fluidity and animations though. Is it possible to port that for me? Just the launcher

The fluidity that you seek is there on all other launchers. That's the phone's hardware mixed with Android's Project Butter, which is an increased frame rate native to the system that makes everything suiper smooth. It has nothing to do with the TouchWiz launcher.
As for animations, just about all other launghers have those same snimations and more.
But if you're REALLY set on trying it....
