Why would you want the s4 touchwiz.. If you want it just get the s4 when it hits the market.
This isn't even related to the nexus 4 forum..

That's like asking an s4 user "why would you want aosp? Just buy a nexus"
Like I said in a different thread. I'd be happy with an aosp base and a sense 5 overlay. And no I won't buy an HTC, tired of them releasing a phone every 6 months. But its just for the looks. The carrier skins aren't bad, but their base is and their update delays..
I'm using the Sony Xperia Z launcher on AOKP.. For me.. I just want the launcher of sense, maybe touchwiz, etc. The full ROM isn't a concern to me, but its cool to have more to choose from.. Some may want the power of nexus with the features of Samsung? One can dream..
But to each his own

Hmmm... not impossible, but close. Firstly, touchwiz isn't open source. Secondly, vastly different hardware.

True, but I have ported a ROM from the galaxy nexus to the HTC one XL, a lot of it is just decompiling and patching smali files.. It takes a while, but would probably take even longer when porting something not aosp

no really it is impossible to get touchwiz framework ported to our nexus. Galaxy framework isnt open source and uses different hardware! So its not possible to get that work on our n4. Just maybe some theme mods and the launcher. But lockscreen the apps and the new functions that the Galaxy s4 would become cant ported to the N4. You maybe saw the LG Optimus G Port in Android Development here on our forum and the lg uses exactly the same hardware and its rom is in ALPHA Stage and the developer bricked his phone due porting.

Hey I know this should be in Development Forum but I'm not allowed to post there yet, was wondering if it would be possible for a Dev to make a ROM to run Cupcake/Doughnut/Eclair on the GNexus?
Obviously not for a daily driver but for simple curiosity to its possibility and its speed. I imagine that on such a powerful device such a simple OS would run blazingly fast.
Feel free to repost this in the right forum, actually please do.
AJ
Q: Why the hell would you want to do that ? :| You want fast ? Try a 4.0.3 ROM and that's it. End of story.
I wouldn't use it daily, I just never got to use the old android versions and I think it would be a cool gimmick. If the G1 can run ICS why can't the Nexus run Cupcake?
I'm currently running the AOKP (Kang Project), I'd say its the best ICS ROM I've come across
Why would you ever want to do this? it would be equivalent to taking your PC and putting windows 95 on it.....Why would you. 4.0.3 ICS works fine, it doesn't slow the phone down any, downgrading to an older OS isn't going to show you some amazing massive speed increase.
While it may be possible, I think you can assume from the tenor of the responses so far that it isn't too likely that you'll find a lot of people interested in investing the time to make it happen.

as ittekaimus said, you'd be unable to run those.
all those versions of android required physical buttons, so you won't have home, back, or menu unless you added softkeys, would would basically require a rewrite of the original code. and no one is going to do it.

Would be a hard sell to a dev.
Essentially you would be asking "Can you waste your time porting an older OS to my phone that not many people will use, will provide no real benefits, and will require back porting drivers?"
Now if it did come out it would be cool (choices are nice) but I four it will come out.

The dev would also have to create some software buttons, as they're not present in gingerbread.
Would be cool though. Some people may prefer pre-ICS.

Buy a Nexus S. This is a stupid idea, which has been discussed before when the GNex came out.
Forget Gingerbread. It's all about Cupcake!
i sorta agree. cause right now, the miui 2.3.7 on my nexus s simply smokes miui v4 on the gnex

ICS slowing down the GN? what?
Gingerbread isn't even optimized for multi-core phones.
gnexus has to run faster with ics.
I believe ics is made for the galaxy nexus. to this specific device. therefore ics should definitely be faster.
putting gingerbread on this would be hard cause we only have on-screen buttons.
and you don't see people putting 2.2(froyo) or 2.1 or even below 1.6 on
devices like gsII. razr. rezound.
why put gingerbread on gnex? it would just be cool but not useful in anyway

So I had the Verizon Galaxy Nexus running Jelly Bean and today I sold my nexus and bought the SIII. I never realized how much software matters over hardware! Sure the SIII has more ram and a slightly better camera but I will tell you while I miss my nexus!!!!!
1. Stock OS - I hate the fact why on my SIII I cant organize my apps into other app folders. I feel like I am running android 2.4 and not 4.04!
2. Jelly Bean- I love project butter (even though the Siii is still smooth) and I way prefer googles voice assistant alot more
3. Build- I think I am one of the few that prefer the the size and material of the nexus. Even though the nexus is close in size, I still feel the
S3 is just too big. Not to mention I prefer the rubberized feel on the nexus.
4. On screen menu keys. Just have not got used to the S3 and dont know if I ever will.
5. Ability to swap roms. Being that verizon has a locked bootloader on the S3 and there are no working Jelly bean roms, I feel by the time
Verizon upgrades to Jelly Bean I will be counting down the days till the Galaxy Nexus 4 comes out!!!!
*****Thinking about selling my S3, but dont want to waste an upgrade on a new phone so just may give it to family and buy my nexus back***
Bottom line.... I miss my nexus
That's why I did not buy it

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
even though you can slap a cyanogen onto a non-nexus device, it will took longer than on nexus. On Nexus, Google update new version, the longest you have to wait is one week before a build is surfacing. But nowadays our dev are super so it only took few hours lolz, and with pretty much everything working most importantly.
With non-nexus, NO~~ it took ages to wait for this driver, that source code wtf wtf bla bla bla~~ I've been there with SGS2 and One X, regretted my choice. and you cant enjoy the true feeling of AOSP too. you'll notice you need TW or Sense for a better hardware experience like the camera, etc etc.
oh as asdfasd2 said, yes i agree. Samsung does sucks with their source codes. CM was long enough on SGS2 and still, after they release the codes, devs are having headaches fixing what were supposed to be fixed. Luckily Nexus S and Gnexus are handled by Google, not them.
i must confess i was feeling a little tempted myself but ever since the nexus 7 release i cant take the damn table off my mind just waiting a couple of weeks to see if a nexus 10 is gonna be release but i cant wait a lo more

Far be it for me to support TW, but the new TW on S3 looks ok(not good, but ok). I prefer the N7's look (tried true tab UI fix, 192DPI,160DPI but came back to the default 1), but that doesnt mean ppl shouldnt have options. I am more of a sense 4 fan though.
i don't know if it is possoble, but: i found an option in the latest jelly bean touch wiz leak, to activate TabletUi. I only tested it with Galaxy Nexus but it force closed. Smalldookie ordered a nexus 7, when it's there we will try.
If you want a 7" tablet with TouchWiz, Samsung has a lot of them for you to look at. Using a ported TouchWiz ROM on the Nexus 7 probably wouldn't work that well, with TouchWiz being propitiatory and all.

I just don't get why someone would buy a device and shoehorn something onto it like this. It seems like when stuff like this happens the performance isn't as good and features are missing.
Why not wait a month or two and wait for the manufacturer to develop it properly, then have vanilla android built for it? You get the best of both worlds. With the price to performance ratio, and popularity of the platform, it is bound to happen.
Edit: Additionally, it can be viewed that wanting this would tell manufacturers "We want your skin on any android device" and they would open it up to allow that to happen. However, it just seems they hear "I want your locked down customized device so much I'm going give you tons of money!" and things just continue as the locked down platform you mentioned.
To each his own. No its not a crime to want touchwiz but it's a forum so I'm going to state my opinion
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
The only reason I considered a galaxy tab 2 was because touchwiz. It just makes a tablet more fun, has alot more options.
But it also is missing the drag and drop to create folders functionality. Folders in Touchwiz act more like gingerbread. Also don't get the screenshot button, it's pointless, screen shots are already built in holding power + volume down. The screen shot virtual button is easy to bump.
To each his own. Ever since I put cm7 on my captivate I've been somewhat of an android purist. I always thought sense looked cool so I got my vivid and flyer to check it out and found i didn't like it as much as I though I did. Sense is neat but unnecessary and makes customization a pain. I activated the aosp lockscreen on my vivid yesterday only to find out that alarms and phone calls won't display when the phone is locked because Sense uses its lockscreen to display the information.
I think pre ics the skins were necessary because android was an ugly beast and most of the core apps were very basic but ics and up android looks gorgeous and skins just impede on its natural beauty. Put it this way when my vivid got its ics update I was sure if it updated or not. Everything still looked like gingerbread. I had to check the settings to make sure I was indeed on 4.03. And htc disabled the over scroll and ics animations!

The first beta of Open WebOS code is scheduled to hit HP's servers later today. Anyone think we have a chance of seeing a port for the good ol GNex? Would anyone even be interested? I know I am!
People have expressed interest in donating to the first dev to get Open WebOS up and running, so devs take this into account

I don't use it on my TouchPad. I feel it's too buggy and too limited with what it can do. At first I loved WebOS now I don't see the point of booting into it.
Maybe when people who actually care about making it better get their hands on the source code things will be different. The dev community is awesome with WebOS.

WebOS uses gestures to operate the OS right?I think it will be a natural fit for this device especiallly since it doesn't have menu keys.

Yeah it's mostly comprised of gestures, and with some of the Preware tweaks, it could be amazingly smooth and functional, and has the potential to be able to run android because a while ago some devs almost ported dalvik, and that was when it was closed source

I, for one, would like to see it on a Nexus 7 before my GNex.

I actually wouldn't mind doing the kernel work for it and maybe some of the system if anyone is interested in getting a team together

Man that would be awesome
It will be great!
the number one reason webOS wasn't successful was because it was never on good hardware, on a Gnex/n7 this would be amazing
How long till its on our phone

Depends on who would be willing to work on porting
I'd love to but I got lotta other projects on my plate as of late

I remember reading that our phones have the hardware necessary for it one big reason why I got a gnex over a gs3
In my opinion, this is a great idea! I've played with webos before and it is amazing! Pretty cool! One thing I really hate was that the app store only had like handful of apps.
I'm still waiting for the stable version of the firefox os...

Seeing this running on our devices would be really awesome. I always wanted to try WebOS, but opted for Android instead.
I never dreamed that Android would be the open beast it is, and our Galaxy Nexuses give us power to do whatever we want.
I wish I had the skills to contribute to getting this running on our device, but I'll kick in a few dollars and moral support
