Hey guys,
I've read that many of the software features from the S4 are to be ported to the S3 by Samsung as part of an update.
Does anyone have information on when that might happen and if it might be included in custom ROMs?
I'm most interested in AOKP. Thanks

It's still up in the air as far as I know. Individual S4 features have already been ported though.
If your more interested in AOKP then your more interested in AOSP and if that's the case then these TW features being "ported" shouldn't concern you really..

Check the first post of the thread in my sig. It has a list of the current ported S4 features. There are two different section, one for touchwiz and one for aosp roms. Keep in my most are only for touchwiz roms since they require the Touchwiz framework. Also, read the linked post at the beginning for what is fully functioning or not. Yes, the thread is updated frequently so it is accurate.
Edit: just realized that you are on tapatalk so probably cant view my sig, here is the link.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206668

Are any of the TW features extractable, for when we get Jelly Bean? I.e., smart stay?
bump I'd also like to know

When jelly bean is released as an update for our phone....samsung won't deduct features! Otherwise they'll be being sued here their and everywhere

Yes but Sammy won't have JB for a while. CM10 will be out soon or at the very least a custom rom.

CM10 will take away features like smart stay, burst shot etc because it's AOSP, the same as jelly bean will be AOSP

The Samsung features included in a touchwiz rom are proprietory which means they're not open source.
Added to which they have specific framework dependancies (and Kernel) which are not compatible with AOSP so for the vast majority of samsung features and apps that you want, you can't have.

What I'm curious to know is what Samsung is gonna do with S voice in jellybean, seeing as Google Now seems better.
I have the S3, and S4's 441 ppi Screen is tempting me, but won't our GS3, have those features through a ROM? So should I upgrade or not?
Probably not. Unless you want Touchwiz running on the latest and greatest android build the GS4 is probably not the best way to go if you already have a GS3. Not to mention all those new features will be gone the minute you flash an aosp ROM. So YES if you want Toichwiz on the latest android version (4.2.2) but NO if you're an aosp guy or if you can handle waiting for the new features to be released on the GS3.

If in fact our tmobile s3 do not have an LTE radio then I myself might switch. I currently have the note 2 as well and I'm not 100% happy with either phones.

hmm feel like not worth to upgrade it
too few improvement
S4 is too much like the note 2.
Only plus for me is the quad core.
Transmitted from my SGH-T999.
I'll be upgrading to an S4, without replacing my existing S3 phone.
Outside the 1080P display, the TV remote and some biometric sensors, I'll have the same phone!
Samsung has already been quoted as releasing the software apps that do not require specific S4 hardware for the S3 and Note II. Look for it later this year.
Well if you're getting it for development don't count on many also Roms as cm team have already mentioned that they are not supporting the gs4. :/

Hey everyone. I am just getting into development and am looking for some experience in the field. I know it is not easy, but, if someone is not already working on this, would anyone like to join me in an attempt to port a touchwiz android 4.2.1 ROM from the international GS3 to all carrier variant GS3s? If so, respond here, or PM me. I am really interested in getting the ball rolling on this as the new touchwiz features intrigue me, but as a high school student I have no money for a galaxy s4.
Thanks for your interest.

I don't even think its possible to port from international..
I mean in general is it, but its completely rewriting everything from scratch since US and International is completely different hardware... That's why no one has done it.
Anyone feel free to correct me but OP, if you want to really accomplish this, you have a LONG way to work. Its easier to cook your own TW ROM
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
I was just wondering, because it has all of the new touchwiz functionality from the galaxy s4 (minus some of the hardware dependent stuff) so it just seemed like a cool idea. Maybe I can just get the cam, gallery, and some other stuff to work with our current touchwiz/android version.

That's if they even release TW source code... Which they probably wont since its closed sourse... The only hope is waiting for the US variant, but even with the US variant, its still closed. This is something extreme lol most elite devs won't even mess with TW since no code makes it extremely difficult... But we'll have to wait and see.

Yeah, It is rather annoying. But is TW being closed source a new thing? Because if I remember correctly, some, if not all, of the Galaxy S3 TW versions were available open source.

The only source Samsung releases consist of kernel source code and various stock stuff. None of the stuff they release is for TW...
Touchwiz is and always has been closed source. If code was released for TW those featured would of already been implemented to AOSP based roms.

Hey i was just wondering if the new 4.2.2 touchwiz will be ported to the s3 from the s4? Because i know im not the only one hoping for the new touchwiz to come to the s3.
I would think it's the same as porting the s3 international firmware to the us variant. Different hardware, different set up. It'll probably brick your phone.

Oh wow really? So its not the same as like Sense on the HTCs when they were really only htcs getting newer sense roms?
Its not just the launcher its boot loaders, framework, kernels, and its all built for an 8 core exynos processer and we have a dual core Qualcomm
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
It'll never happen unless Samsung releases Touchwiz source code to work with. If they would to release it I would be very possible for that to happen, even have TW on non Samsung devices..
HTC Sense is just a skin to be honest (with the exception of the new Blink feed on HTC ONE) with a couple of fancy widgets that rely on that skin.
Sense was partially ported to a couple devices back in the day due to the fact that it is almost just a skin. (Any one can feel free to correct me on this one )
Galaxy S4's Touchwiz, not only is it a skin but the gestures and fancy thing the S4 has rely heavily on TW framework.
With out that TW source to be released we're out of luck

I sure hope att/sammy didn't build all that for the exynos octa. Would brick there qualcom quad cpu phones.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
Only a small portion of the S4s are gonna be running the exynos processor. Many will have the next iteration of Qualcomm's snapdragon. It will still be nearly if not entirely impossible to get the S4's firmware running on the S3. We already have 4.2.2 on the S3 though. Just gotta get on a custom ROM.

He asked if it will be ported... so it would not brick your phone if you tried, it just simply wouldnt work. Unless you try to flash unmodified s4 software on your s3

Might be stupid question but if we don't have source code for Touchwiz, how do we have TouchWiz custom roms..?

Custom TW Rom are built using the original TW firmware, with features added to them.
IF we had TW source code, we'd have the features and apps like TW camera on AOSP based roms....
Hey guys i have looked and looked and i just cant seem to find a rom the is vanilla android... not cm or aokp. But like the nexus expeirence on galaxy s4 and s3. Sorry if i didnt look hard enough haha but i just dont want all the mods and tweaks the custom roms bring. Thanks in advance! :silly:

You try the Gummy rom in the original development thread? There is no pure aosp rom at this time that I know of.
