I couldn't narrow the search term to find what I was looking for, so here it goes. Is there a feature on Touchwiz or AOSP/AOKP that keeps you from one or the other? Is there something that you have to have? I am running Task's AOKP and have flirted with some of the TW roms but keep going back. It just seems a ligher, more responsive rom. Multiwindow was definitely a draw but I don't see when I would ever use it and the screen just doesn't feel big enough to support it. I do miss the TW calendar. What are your thoughts?
I dont like the aosp lockscreen and the way new notifications are displayed. guess I am used to tw lockscreen and sms app. seem to work better for me. I didnt like the lack of customization with tw until I discovered morphology. aosp and tw roms come down to what each offers now imo. but I have never been able to get tw battery longevity on aosp roms. so tw it is for now. aosp does offer the latest versions of android which is nice but so far as I can tell Im not missing out on much
AOKP
-no need to enable data for mms if on Wi-Fi
-sleeps like a baby
-4.2.2
-best battery life in my opinion
-extra quick toggles
-more updates
Touchwiz
-camera
-calendar

Is there a way to get the TouchWiz Calendar widget in a seperate apk? I have CM10 installed and like the TW calendar better than the CM one.
Think you are out of luck. The TouchWiz Stock apps made by Samsung tend to only work on TouchWiz based ROMs.
Dang, ok. I'll just have to find a similar calendar widget then.
I simply changed launchers to Nova and I really wanted that Touchwiz widget. I have yet to find one that comes close. They did a really great job with it
I've tried Nova, GO, & Apex and didn't really care for them. Maybe I just didn't give them enough time. I'm really liking CM10 but missing some of the features of TW, like the calendar widget.
Has anyone found a way to get the stock calendar and email app onto CM10? I think the stock TW versions are much better than the ones included in CM10.

Simple Calendar is a pretty great widget if you haven't already checked it out. Very customization and can even include tasks from other apps.

I like the CM10 email app. I think it works a lot quicker than the stock one... But I gotta say the stock calendar is more preferable for me.
Ever since I got my Galaxy Note 1 I really wanted to stick as stock TouchWiz as possible. The features it adds are enough to keep me from jumping to any AOSP based ROM, but with that I'd like to stick to as much stock TouchWiz stuff as possible. Modded lockscreens and launchers help, but sometimes things are still missing and it's really, REALLY annoying. Here's a couple pet-peeves I have, and I would LOVE to know if anyone knows of a good fix:
Cannot create folders by dragging icons on top of one another
Cannot resize most widgets
Cannot change the bottom dock when something has been recommended (i.e. when docked in a desk or car dock)
Bizarre slowdown when switching to a homescreen with any kind of widget
Lag when opening the widget drawer, and then turning each successive page
Thankfully the grid size has been fixed by modded launchers, but pretty much all of the above problems are keeping me from using the TouchWiz launcher. Any ideas on fixes?
I would love a lot more features from TouchWiz to, Hide Dock and Status bars, Gestures, Themeing, Icon Changing, Grid size changes. Would like to do this on the fly but Im not to sure what is needed for all the featrues to be functional.
In the case of the Note II all of its unique features, aside from the sheer size of the display, are tied to TouchWiz. The one thing I don't like about TouchWiz on my Note II is the wasted space on the home screens. More icons could easily fit in each row. Four icons per row is such a waste, IMO.

I agree, if TW had a lot more features it would make it hard to leave behind. But the lack of simple features is such a let down at times. 5.5" screen and like stated above what in the world were they thinking of just making it a 4x4 none rotating launcher?
Thank god for the XDA community though and all the available mods/roms that at least made TWiz a little better. Like mine is a 5x5 with rotation. Not much improvement but it helps. Still going back and fourth between it and Apex. Only draw back to Apex is the Sammy specific features wont work on it.
Most or all of the things you are looking for are possible if not through stock than surely through custom roms... would bw nice to see an AOSP/TW hybrid tho

is this a possible?
I really love the AOSP roms but the horrid camera is kind of a deal breaker for me. is it possible to get a TW based rom that uses Quick Settings
This might be a dumb question, but is there any way to port over the 4.2 lockscreen over to a 4.1.2 ROM? I'm currently running Xylon ROM, but I miss multi-window and S-note. The only thing keeping me in this ROM is the lock screen which I love. I was using WidgetLocker on the stock ROM which was OK, but I like the way the 4.2 one works, especially with the swipe-to-the-right camera feature. Anyone know?
Yeah, there is no port and youve alreqdy run the closest substitute as far as I know. I love cLock on cm10.1 and I've found some decwnt widgets that kinda look similar, but it's not quite the same and we definitely don't have the swipe to camera.
Are there any AOSP Based Rom (Lollipop & D855) that has the ability to hide apps on their main launcher/Google Now Launcher (GNL is better)? I really love the smoothness and style of AOSP Based Roms, but this is the only feature that is keeping me away from flashing it. I hate seeing so many apps on my drawer (e.g. Google Settings). I would love to see this feature coming to AOSP Based Roms in the future. Or if anybody knows, please feel free to tell me. Thank you.
