Hi there,
So after playing with vanilla ICS and then getting the ICS Leak for our cappys I've come to hate TW because it takes away from the beauty of ICS.
I found a few guides on how to replace the TW Stock Apks with Vanilla Apks however, due to TW frameworks you can't replace the dialer or contacts.
Is there anyone who would like to help me in fixing this? I've tried several things and none of them have worked thus far. Suggestions?

Can you tell me how you replaced the other TW apps? Also have you tried this?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729466&highlight=ics+dialer

That seems to be a guide to replace dialer on 2.3.5 (which back in black is made on). I think on ICS its not worth even trying, too much dependencies

oh.
I say just install a custom ROM. That's what I did. Running Nardholio's right now but I'll probably switch to dman's CM9 or AOCP once some of the bugs are worked out.

Hey is there a theme that will work for the stock EC05?? Just curious. I actually like the stock ROM and how I have everything set up. Im just wondering if there was any theme that would work on it. I do not want to be the test/crash dummy so if anyone knows if one works would be very helpful. Thanks in advanced.
The first thing you need is to run a deodex version of ec05 because you can't theme a stock rom. I have two themes that work on ec05, froyo crystalline and giger. Fucshia fusion too if your a fan of pink!

This is probably a really stupid question, but is there a deodexed version of stock EC05 available?
I just upgraded to EC05 and getting WAY better battery life than I was with EB13, but I am getting sick of the stock ROM, most specifically the stock lockscreen.
Thanks for any help!

Flash a custom rom since you said you are sick of stock.

Hey Dream,
Not sure if you know but the link in your sig is broken. I am new to this so could you explain what part of theming requires you to be deodexed? I am wondering because I recently started screwing around with changing the icons. Just curious to know what my limitations are and when being deodexed becomes a requirement or what benefits you get from being deodexed. Thanks for any info you can provide.
i want stock ec05 rfs just deodexed so i can theme it to the gingerbread theme.

Me too! I'm happy with the stock rom, its giving me better battery life than the few custom rom's I've tried.
I'm easily getting 20 hours on stock rom where I was getting no more than 10-12 hours on a custom rom, with all the same settings.
I miss the aosp gingerbread theme!
I am using launcher pro so I don't have to deal with touchwiz, but I miss the aosp lockscreen and transparent notification pull down and blacked out notification bar
Yeah I agree with most of you. I am getting GREAT battery life. I am not experiencing the TWS bug or anything. My TWS is always at 0% when I check it. And my battery life is the best that I have ever had on this phone. I do not want a custom ROM..But would like a deodexed version of the stock ROM so I can use themes. Anyone feeling generous enough to make it happen for all of us?? Pwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaase!!!!
Well, I agree. I find myself venturing off and trying custom roms, but I always seem to go back to stock for reliability. I just cant seem to find a rom that just works as well as stock. I would also like to see a deodexed version of stock.
If I could ultimately choose a perfect setup it would be Stock, deodexed, zipaligned, No carrier iq, kernel wired tether support, and TV-OUT.

sorry missed this. deodex comes into play when you start editing xmls deep, simple icons are not a problem.

I think it'd be interesting for someone to come up with a ROM possibly cyanogen or liquid based, and replace everything possible with go apps. ie: go launcher, go locker, go weather, go sms, etc.. it would add an interesting theming aspect that I think many would enjoy. Would this be possible??

had some issues needing to keep stock contacts.apk in the rom, otherwise you couldnt sync google contacts

This looks awesome. How'd you combine TW with MIUI?? Looks pretty crisp with the way it runs. I'd make it myself, but I don't have a computer.... I think it'd be a kool start to a dev'ing career.

andmer was the brains behind the rom really...he had to HEAVILY modify the touchwiz framework to accept miui launcher and miui preferences
hes crazy smart and at the time it looked like no aosp miui would really be functional on the fascinate...eventually once jt1134 got cm7 going, andmer took on porting aosp miui to the fasc and up until recently maintained it
even seeing exactly what he was doing at the time made my head spin, lol...i doubt i could replicate it on my own

That makes me think, I wonder if (since I've heard TW is a pita) you could do the same thing with MIUI and sense. So you could still have a lot of the sense aspects but also have the functionality of MIUI similar to your senseless ROM.

This seems like it would be too much of a hassle when you could just as easily install all of the apps the GO Team has to offer and make it look like you have a full GO ROM.
You could always flash MIUI. IMO it's pretty close to the GO with the right theme settings.

It still wouldn't be the same. I'm talking have something fully themeable like MIUI or cyanogenmod but everything is go instead of whatever is stock in the ROM. I guess, yeah you could do it by downloading it all, but it'd be kooler to see more integration.
Oh, btw nitsuj, I messaged andmer about the MIUI/Sense hybrid. I told him I'd be willing to test if he felt like even fooling with it.

I'm loving ICS on my SII. This is the only android phone that I haven't rooted and don't plan to unless absolutely necessary.
However, I would like to have the stock ICS people app and (dialer if possible). I've already stopped using the TWlauncher and have been using the android launcher...love it.
Is it possible to load either of these without rooting?
And yes I've searched the board but could not find a concrete answer. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
you have to be more specific are you on the ota ics or gb
Dude man if your not using the tw launcher ROOT dude! Aosp is so much better.

It does say hes 'Loving ICS on his S2'. That aside i think he wants the AOSP dialer and contacts apps. I dont believe you can do that without rooting as they are in /system i believe and you cant touch that without permission. If anyone knows better please correct me.
Been using exDialer with the ICS theme. Freakin' awesome!

Yes. I have OTA ICS. I know I should just root and load a custom ROM. I did that a lot with my original Epic but I don't want to root just for those 2 features. Thanks for all the replies. Looks like I'll have to settle for Samsung Dialers and contacts. No biggie.
I would also like to mention exDialer. Load up the ICS theme and you're good. Contacts isn't the same as ICS stock is, but it's good.
There is also an ICS Phone app in Play Store.

Hello guys!
I'm one of the few who actually loves touch wiz and I'm very happy with the rom I'm using now (wanam lite).
I think my phone is almost perfect the way it is but I was missing two things from jelly bean! Google now and the notifications!
I already installed Google now in my phone, Btw it works great, and now I want to know if there is any way to have the jelly bean notifications in my phone as well! That would be perfect!
Thanks for the help in advance!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
Yea, JB notifications on ICS would be superb. Hope some1 ports it.
You could try using a theme "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.photox.jbhd&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5waG90b3guamJoZCJd" But I believe that changes it so no touchwiz other than that I have no idea :/ I don't mind not having touchwiz not much different tbh.

Theme looks cool, but doesn't have true JB notifications.
I would recommend trying cm10 out and if you absolutely hate touchwiz then restore back (MAKE BACKUP BEFORE)

Yea, good suggestion. I like CM10. It's super fast and functional, but it has too many bugs for me (Xperia PLAY user). I guess they should give it a shot though.
Wait for Samsung to release the JB update in the next couple of months. I'm sure at that point the stock ROMs will upgrade alongside it.
I am a bit new to Android and the GS3. But honestly I am already sick and tired of waiting for Jelly Bean as well as some of the problems of Touchwiz. So I think CM10 is the next thing for me. But I am unsure of the differencr between Touchwiz and CM10. For example I love the quick settings panel, the brilliang camera app and settings, Wi-Fi direct sharing (sbeam) , as well as the smart dialer and decent task manager. I just want to make sure everything will be better.
it's your call. i'd say you should try it out, and if you don't like it, you can always go back to stock touchwiz. just remember to read the op and the last few pages of the thread to make sure there aren't any unwanted problems to deal with. and of course, backup your current rom.

Stock Jelly Bean has been leaked. This will give you all the Jelly Bean goodness without resorting to a custom ROM.
You could also install the touchwiz launcher on CM10 if you like the TouchWiz UI. (I don't)
You can always flash back to stock ICS if you don't like where you end up. Just read the original post and make sure you understand what you're doing so you don't end up with a brick.

So if I tried it and didn't like it, I could just go back to normal and get updates OTA and everything.
Not all S3 are identical. The radio interface are slightly different, region wise. So yes , you can download a Samsung stock ROM off the Internet, it will not be exactly the same. Call and battery performance will be affected slightly.
You can use a backup to restore, it is the closest you can get to original, but rooted.
That it's the complete picture.

Things I like about touchwiz.
Movable home screens.
Little red flags on home screen icon showing unread status.
Social hub for Twitter and Facebook.
A working music player
Swipe right to call, left to SMS
Task manager, less of an issue in ICS and later.
Good alarm app
Best battery performance without tweaking.

yes, but not without some work. you'd need to either restore your backup and unroot, and remove the custom recovery or odin back to stock.

Then I recommend Drew Garen Serenity rom! Its Touchwiz JB, its a GNote2 port, works great if you want the same TW features and more! (Gnote stuff), just use a launcher. I'm using tasks AOKP rom myself and its awesome

I've been stuck with AOSP. I love the TW/Samsung features, just not the interface. Coming from a Nexus, I just got comfortable with minimal. Slimbean, Aokp and liquid smooth are great base ROMs that are light.

The whole thing with that is I don't particularly care for Touchwiz. It kinda ugly and heavy with useless stuff. I just don't want to lose useful features.

yea im in the same position you are, i still change back and fourth because of features on TW that i miss and need often.
I am considering just flashing and trying it out and flashing back if I don't like it. I honestly don't mind Touchwiz, but I feel like if I give in and and wait, then I will just keep falling further behind. Perhaps Touchwiz is better now, but it certainly won't be in January
Touch wiz has too much overlay IMO. Liquid smooth is one of the best AOKP ROMs I've tried. But you will be missing out on Sbeam and everything Samsung related of course. But the sheer speed of aokp is a good enough trade off for me to lose just the neat camera and svoice.
I am using AOKP from Task and ktoonez, I love it but really miss smart stay and allshare cast to the point where I'll probably go back to TW JB once ATT actually releases it. Is there a JB ROM that includes those?
Hey guys,
Is there anyway to get the TouchWiz S3 camera features with one of the custom roms or just stick to a stock?
My brother loves the AOKP but he is insistent on having those default camera features/effects that came with the phone.
