Porting launchers and lock screen - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I got a question and any help would be appreciated.
I have a launcher and lock that I would like to port to a stock s3 rom or cm base.
Does anyone have any information on how I go about doing this?

Nobody got an idea?
What if I put a bounty on it?

What launcher and Lockscreen are you thinking about? Some launchers can be as easy as pulling the apk out and installing in another device. Others may take certain modifications. Lockscreens could be a lot more difficult though.

The launchers I'm talking about are these, they are in a sense the same but different versions. They are also from an Acer port:
here they are.... 1. http://d-h.st/Zel 2. http://d-h.st/aEc
if you need any other information about them let me know (rom they were taken from etc)
Any help will be appreciated and if doable and you are you to it I will pay. (For a fully working launcher)
Also thanks for the reply.

The one I am thinking of has something like vibrate "only on silent". Also had emoji and such
I'm running aokp and the stock mms.apk comes with all of those settings by default. Try pulling out from there. Otherwise in the themes and apps section there are a few threads that might have what you're looking for. One is the jelly bean stock messaging app and the other is a modified messaging app with the word holo in it somewhere.

{q} aosp lockscreen on touchwiz?

Hey Everyone
I was wondering if there is a flashable zip of JUST the AOSP lockscreen (ring-style) for our Touchwiz Galaxy S3's
I dont want to install WidgetLocker or the likes.
Thank you
Bump .. no answer
Does anyone know if there is a standalone 5 lockscreen mod I can flash, or something?
You need to do a little searching and looking around. Csrom has a choice for a aosp lock screen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2058032

perhaps if you read the OP's post you would understand he was asking for a flashable zip of just the aosp lockscreen, not a ROM with an aosp lockscreen. where on upndwn4par's thread is the link to a recovery flashable aosp lockscreen zip?
i know that users post on here all the time without searching, but dont be a smarta** until you've actually read the post. it makes us all look bad
I'm not being a smarta** . you don't have to try and be a white night. He's looking for a solution and left a very wide margin with " or something. " I posted a possible solution all you did was start an argument. Csrom is essentially stock touchwiz with mods so I'd say I gave a better solution than you which was nothing. If I was trying to be a smart a** I wouldn't of given anything helpful. Like you

This was unnecessary and I called you on it. Let's not give a backhanded solution. Relax and offer assistance without the commentary. If you have an issue, PM me. Otherwise, Cheers

If you have other mods already, you'll have to edit the smali, which is relatively easy if you use my guide to edit system apks:

There's also an app that called widget locker lockscreen which will give you the aosp lock screen.

back in the day i fooled around with that app. i remember it running clunky. perhaps its better now. the OP doesnt want a 3rd party app though, specifically widget locker.
My apologizes. I missed the part about not wanted widget locker.

Extinction of TouchWiz ROMs

So has development of TW ROMs stopped? Is there not any mods or tweaks left to make a unique TW ROM? I'm kind of getting bored of having the same styled ROMs because honestly all CM based ROMs are pretty much the same because of the fact that they are all CM based obviously. It was nice having TW and CM7. Then getting CM9 and CM10 and now CM10.1 but it seems that all the ROMs have the same basic settings and themes.
Avatar ROM was a little different and I liked it but not too much different since its also CM10.1 based. What I'm really looking for is a TW ROM with all the mods that they're used to be like the lockscreens and clock position in status bar and all the little things that made TW ROMs better. Do any of those even exist anymore for any phone?

You not so satisfied with The People's and Legacy? I don't use them but they still seem popular after all this time.
And why not take time to theme and mod CM ROMs yourself? Themes, lockscreen mods, launchers and widgets are scattered around for you to revamp the experience. Personally I don't like non-AOSP style, but to imitate a GS3 I downloaded a "GS3-Addon", did a bit modification to it and flashed upon a CM10 nightly, which in the end turned out to be REALLY, REALLY similar experience to the real TouchWiz 5!
Just saying, you can try similar tricks yourself, though it takes some time

Could you post a screenshot of your TW 5? I'd like to see how close you've gotten. And your right about all that but I'm honestly just missing the good old TW ROMs that had amazing battery life and many tweaks and themes and stuff. I used to theme TW ROMs and worked on a few mods and I was doing pretty good but that was last summer. Since I started college I haven't really had much free time to work on that kind of stuff.

Not SO close actually TW-specific apps are mostly missing. But apps like S Note, Super Video (floating video player on S3), TW5 launcher and widgets are all there. More I can't remember.
I'll post screenshots 2 days later as we're having tests these days and my E4G is currently on CM10.1 so I have to restore the nandroid backup.

Its cool don't worry about the screenshots.
Do you know a way to get the lockscreen on cm10.1 to be like it was on 10 and 9? I mean to have the rings with the shortcuts before the actual unlock pattern? Is there a way to change that? I wanna start working on my ROM to make it the way I actually want.

It's not there in CM10.1, I checked.

@lilajrestnom Hey I have an idea. Settings - Lockscreen - check "Maximize widgets". In this way you'll have to long press the lock icon on the bottom of the screen to bring up the lock security, which I think is just what you want. This is tested to work with "pattern" lock security.

Ya I've done that and that's the closest I can get to what I actually want. I really just wanted the real rings before the pattern lock but it seems like that's the best I can do for now thanks tho.

Touch wiz

So I just flashed the Google edition virigin ROM, is there any way to get the touchwiz launcher on 4.3, whether through an app or flash in recovery

There's lots of apps that allow u to use it.. I believe one of them is go launcher

No, tw launcher only works with tw. You can try a third party launcher like go or apex anfd theme it like tw, but it won't be tw.

Both of you are wrong, here is a decent tutorial on how to get it on any device.

The launcher works fine, but after I flashed this, now my boot takes up to a minute on the galaxy s4 screen to only stay on the Google load screen for 10 seconds. How can I fix that
