Im creating a rom for myself but would consider sharing it with you guys. What would you guys like to see in this rom? It will be based off OF UCDLK3.
if there was anyway to get some of the motion controls samsung has on touchwiz (ex: bring phone to face while on contact info or messaging to place call) on a non touchwiz rom that'd be cool.

From all my searching and reading it appears that no one has figured out how to get the group messaging working with touchwiz rom's.
Is that correct or am I missing it somewhere?
I am currently using i747z rom that is awesome, fast, good battery etc, but the group messaging doesn't work, although it says it does in the features list, as I read it at least!
The group messaging is the biggest reason I finally flashed a custom rom on my s3. I didn't feel the need to like I did on my Captivate that I had before this.
If anyone has any info, please share, otherwise I guess we wait patiently until one of those really smart developers work on it!
Thanks!

i really want to get group mms working as well..go sms lags like crazy since it displays all group chats instead of parsing them out a few messages at a time..hopefully someone can fix this or port the 4.2 messaging apk

I have it working now on v 1.4
Hi all.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 for few days, and i installed a JB rom on it, and there are some things i really love !
So my questions are these :
-Is there any mod, or anything to activate like on the s2/3 when you are in the messaging app, you just put your phone to your ear, and it call the contact that you are texting with ?
-Is there anyway to get the samsung's keyboard on the galaxy nexus ?
-Maybe is there any possibility to get the lockscreen ?
-And is there any mod or something to get the messaging app ?
My device is the GSM Galaxy Nexus (Maguro), running Cataclysm ROM (4.3)
I can change my rom to get these mods.
Thanks four your replys guys, and i hope you understand my english.
Someone please ?

If you have the S2 you are in the wrong section. This section is for the Galaxy Nexus, although I guess my answers will still work for you.

There is a direct call feature in some of the modded mms apps. Perhaps some market apps have this feature as well.

Searching for these would be your best bet. If you can't find them, they likely haven't been ported. Good chance the lockscreen is a no. There may be alternatives on the market to get the features you want.

So you have an S2 and a Gnex?
So basically you want some Touchwiz on your Pure Google experience...
-No, that's a Touchwiz feature.
-I believe you can sideload the Samsung keyboard apk to your Gnex and install it.
-No, that is also a Touchwiz feature and probably hard as hell to get working/ported.
-Possibly if you sideload the Messaging apk file.

Thanks for your reply, i tried the apk's and it didn't work.
I wanted the most the direct call feature, because we have '' smartphones '' but actually they are pretty dumb. And this feature is a smart feature imo.

I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to add touchwiz motion features and voice features (like say shoot for camera) on to CM11 I enjoyed them and wondered if it was possible or happening already

No. Touchwiz is proprietary to Samsung and is not available to devs as AOSP roms are.
Thanks
Thanks for the reply! I hope one day a Dev will make his own kind of features like touchwiz and make it available. None the less thank you
Hi guys,
Sorry if this question has been asked and answered before. Search brought up no answers for me.
l have a note 10.1 2014 WIFI only. l haven't rooted it yet though I am familiar with rooting from other devices.
Now, I absolutely hate touchwizz and would love to flash a stock android rom onto my tablet, however l am worried that removing touchwizz will disable any s pen features.
Could somebody please confirm if I will be able to use s pen with a custom rom or not? I've looked through a fair few threads and cannot find an answer.
thanks in advance.

Its the wifi only version (exynos chip?) anyhow i've rooted and installed twrp recovery now and backed up.
as for the rom, I'm looking for a complete stock android experience with S Pen features, looking through the rom section here I think I'll be going down the route of a cm11 based rom
Spen is not working with cm11. If you want spen, best bet is stick to TW rom.

I'm running Hyperdrive Rom with Nova launcher and all functionality with the spen is working fine. You might not like touchwiz on the stock Rom but on this Rom it flies.

DISCLAIMER: SPen feature(intrinsic functions)are only to the tip being precisely detected on the screen and the side button detection

This clarified lets answer the question; because this gimmicks\features are on TouchWiz and not on the SPen, if you take Touch-wiz out of the equation you will lose those functions but not necessarily the precise pen and the side button detection(which rely on the drivers been implemented correctly on the ROM and not on touchwiz itself).
Rooting the device doesn't affect which system you are running, only what privilege you have in it; so, Still TouchWiz=Gimmicks exist.
Now, if there are things you don't like about TouchWiz there are many ROMs based on it that try to fix many problems inherent to the system and thus you would still have TouchWiz features. On the other hand, if you want to install something like CyanogenMod, AOPK or OmniRom, you will trade Touchwiz gimmicks for those implemented on the ROM you chose(Different Rom, different gimmicks).
I would tell you to investigate which are the gimmicks you want before jumping ROMs. Read the post of every rom you would like to install before doing so.
Personally I couldn't care less for multiwindow or doubletap note gestures if the system stutters randomly and its dumbed down Samsung-style. Even with the great things guys here have achieved with Touchwiz framework(You are really doing great things guys :highfive i still feel like i am in an eternal battle using and controlling it; trying not to launch something i really didn't intended to, or praying for the system to do what i want when I want it to; it is not worth it for me. Touchwiz makes me feel awe but never lets me feel at home and comfortable with the environment. I prefer to install CM and feel the tablet like a nexus device with a nice Wacom pen than a colorfull collage of Touchwiz features. Again, this is my personal opinion.
IMPORTANT NOTE: SPen functioning(READ DISCLAIMER) is almost ready for the new cm ROMs for the wifi version. At this moment there are various cm bases ROMs with the SPen functioning only on landscape mode so if you use the SPen thoroughly for notes, drawings and stuff I recommend waiting a little bit more before making the jump, if you decided to go that way.
Greetings everyone, if possible I'd like to add one more question to this scenario.
I understand from the above that we lose the features from Touchwizz like the floating menu, however what about the general S-Pen functionality, like the 1024 levels of sensitivity?
In particular, I'd like to know if installing CM11 and Sketchbook and use it as efficiently as in a stock environment.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

It depends. If the ROM you want to install has the drivers and are correctly implemented(As in no Bugs), NO, you wont loose core functionality of the pen; Pen detection on the screen with its sensitivity, pen button detection, pen eraser and hover(and any combinations of those 4) are all driver based so they should all work on a ROM that implemented them.
As long as the not-touchwiz-based rom says that the pen works it means that those core functionality are indeed working, and if they dont, it is a bug.
The other aspect would be an outdated driver but i am sure the devs get what we already had on touchwiz and only port it or something, so i don't think we should worry about it.
Other aspect is that some apps like papyrus give you the option to use the pen's button as tool changer, item selector, and other stuff that could not be used on touchwiz because those gestures were taken by the system to open apps or action memo; so in a way, using CM gives you even better experience for 3rd party apps.
TL; DR If SPen drivers are in place you would have the same quality than on touchwiz for SPen Wacom core functionalities.
Hi there,
i like the Stock G3 Firmware but i HATE the misdesigned Dialer... so much Place for showing nice pictures is wasted with white Space...
After falshing around some CM and other Firmware i ended up with this question.
So my Question is : It is possible to replace it with the AOSP, or Cyanogen, or whatever another Dialer
Greetings from Germany

Hi there,
Are you on Lollipop or still KK ?
On KK there are ZIPs for original google dialer from CM, i don't remember where, and for Lollipop it's still not stable, as you can check CyberstormXo was trying in this post :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/req-stock-lollipop-google-dialer-t2990813/page3
But you can stillchange dialer for another one on the play store i guess ?
Cheers !
Im on LP.
The Dialer in Playstore looks fine... and i tryed a few.
And some of them looks great... But only till the call build up, then it switches and you have the same and ugly Stock-callscreen as before.
The Dialer App in Playstore are just workarounds for the Phonebook and the "Dialer-Pad"... when you tap on the Phone to call someone all theese Dailers switch back to Stock-Call-Animation.
As is often call someone when im around with my car, everytime i have to see this ugly interface... and thats pretty annoying.
But thanks for the Link, i will follow the Progress.
Oh ok I did not get what you meant about the in-call UI, I thought about the "real" dialer sorry !
As I am with the quick-circle case, and so closed when calling, I don't see this ugly UI
Let's hope LP will begin to get hacked in many ways, like Xposed someday maybe .... !
I thinks its obsolete now...
