Hey guys can we get a touchwiz Rom going?
Sent from my HTC Droid Incredible 2 using xda premium
I don't think touchwiz is open source? But anyways it would almost be impossible as you'll problem get alot of problems with it. Just like me truing to run sense on my s3.

I've never used touchwiz before but you could probably find a launcher app that behaves similarly. But for the other features you would be SOL
Pretty sure there is also a TouchWiz theme for AOSP ROMs.

Hey, I'm coming from the Epic 4G (original) forums and since you guys are on ICS and have TouchWiz, is it possible for someone here to port the TouchWiz launcher and make it a flashable .zip or installable .apk for those who do not have it? There is a version of TW from the Galaxy Note I installed, however it isn't made for ICS yet, and so I cannot resize any ICS widgets.
Thanks, in advance
I believe TW Launchers are included in a lot of the roms, like calkulins e4gt 2 and all the stock ones.
I got you bro

Recently I switched from T-Mobile G2 (Desire Z) to the S3. On G2 there are a lot of ROMs based on HTC Sense 3. I like the look, it had a flashy HD interface but my G2 wasn't powerful enough to run it. And here at seems that all the ROMs have the same ICS/JB look. I didn't much like MIUI. I would love if there was a Sense 3.5 port. Any suggestions?

I don't think sense can be ported on to Samsung phones but I'm sure there's a sense theme for cm10 on the market place
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
not another one of these threads...
Yes it can be ported over, no it hasn't for this phone. The Nexus S has a successful port to it's phone by the same team that is working on the S3 port.
You are going to get rammed in the A by people saying you should've bought an HTX phone with Sense on it.
No suggestions, embrace a bloat free CM variant rom.
Why buy a touchwiz sgs3 when you like the sense UI? Don't understand

I guess sense is what I miss most of htc it was really awesome, better than TW
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
To be fair he was asking for something flashy like sense not necessarily sense it self. Also to the people who say "just get an HTC phone many people including myself aren't too happy with HTC lineup this year. Especially if your coming from T-Mobile (most likely you are if you are in this forum) then it boils down to Samsung note II/GS3 or one S and to make it's a no no-brainer. Hell I would rather have gs2 then one S

Yeah we have a flashy 'rom like sense'... It's called touchwiz bro
But it's more so a ui overlay or launcher fwiu

I really would not call wiz flashy as I don't see it as eye candy. Although must say pretty handy

You make my point excellently. YOU wouldn't call touchwiz 'flashy.' the problem with the op asking for something flashy is that flashy is am opinion. One may find touchwiz flashy while others may find sense or adw ex, or any other overlay 'flashy' 'dull' 'sexy' these are all very much in the opinion of the user. So to ask for a flashy rom can't really be adequately answered. And honestly I got addicted to using my sslauncher which I love the customization and fun attached to it. And it seems so far off the beaten path. I do miss the weather widget effects with sense. Probably the one thing I really miss. I personally believe out of the box, it's weak compared to the new touchwiz. Especially the notifications menu. And the lack of a settings/menu button.

The same reason why people put MiUi and AOSP ROMs on their phone. I don't understand why people question this.
This question could have easily been answered by taking a quick glance in the dev threads and checking out what ROMs we have. Its not like devs are hiding them :screwy::screwy:
Sense 4 is NOWHERE NEAR as nice as Touchwiz...IMO. Its hardly better than sense 3.6 which was hardly better than 3.5. There are sense 4 themes for aosp ROMs if you must have.

Just for the record, there is a team of people working to bring it to the US S3. They've done it already on the global version. If you look at the Global S3 thread, you find the group of guys responsible. From there, you can find their website and keep track of their progress... That is, if they're still working on it.
I would be reasonably happy with a sense themed Rom. They have touchwiz roms all over the place making your phone look like the gs3. I wonder why sense 4 theme(not port) hasn't been attempted(that I know of)

With sense 4 HTC made it a smaller ROM by removing a lo5 of visual features. Sense 3 was amazing. It had a 3D UI and beautiful widgets.

So I used cyanogenmod Nightly and i miss many of the motions provided through touchwiz, but hate the lag in it, I'll rather find a workaround.
So in your opinion
Best choices on touchwiz based roms
Or
Are there any zips I can flash to get motions?

What is MC3, is it leaked sprint rom? Or a custom rom? Do I update through sprint? How's the battery life on it

Its a leaked ROM. You can download it from Freezas thread and flash it in recovery.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to find all of 4.2.x features on TW Roms. But, a lot of TW Roms have similar features. I know that some of the more popular TW Roms here in the d2spr section are (in no particular order):
MOAR (Mother Of All Roms)
The People's Rom (TPR)
Goodness Reborn
JellyBomb
Wicked Sensations
Honestly, you can stroll through the Sprint Galaxy S III Android Development Section and if you see an "MB1" or "MC3" or "TW" in the title, you can check it out. Most are really good and have options for excellent battery life.
I personally enjoy AOSP 4.2.2 Roms (Currently on Liquidsmooth v2.2) and the extra features of TW (MultiWindow, motions, etc) aren't enough to keep me there. But I fully understand that my experience does not encompass everyone's preferences, so I keep my eye on the TW Roms and will flash them every once in a while to see what's what.
Try the peoples rom

I have seen and am using the ported 4.2 messaging apk on clean bean 2.6, it works awesome and with group messaging too 
I haven't seen if the cLock from CM had been done the same way. I love this and wanted to know if it had been done or can be done?

The APK is available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186734, but it's for 4.2 only, so it won't run on 4.1.2.
This does not work on TW right? Just tried and it does not work for me. It just fail.

Does anyone think there will ever be a kit kat version of TW that's ported or something I bet that would be a super nice ROM if someone could do it

No
TBH I don't think so. Heck I don't think we're even getting the 4.2 update because our device is quite old now
I can't find a source... But I remember reading something from Samsung I believe... The t989 and other s2's were done at 4.1.2.
As far as ports.... Not the easiest thing to do with touchwiz. Unless it was the skyrocket.... Which also got cut off at 4.1.2.
