I was wondering the same thing myself. I really enjoy touchwiz, some of the white background on your contacts and menu I have saw on the s3/s4 are pretty cool. and to be honest I cant stand Stock Android. I loved Gingerbread but once the ICS upgrade came out and they got rid of some features that I enjoyed I have been using touchwiz ever sense. I messed around with the one of the many 4.3 roms and the whole PIE thing drove me insane plust it was just very very slugish and plus no facebook sync with contacts and calander without installing hacksyc...
Realistically the 4.1.2tw ROM on the s2 and s3 are the same, besides multi window, and a few other minor differences, so to port it would be almost impossible, as hardware issues won't allow a "port" the closest u will get is Embryo ROM by mohan, I reccomend it highly, very stable, very fast touchwiz ROM with all the s3 goodies

I thought I was the only one who hated stock android, it seems boring to me, I do like the blue colors though.
Hello I don't know if this 1 belongs to Q& A or general but here is my Questions
I need custom rom that has all Samsung stuff that s4 made for like wave hands to answer call or IR Blaster for tv etc etc
Also I love some CM 10 futures like privacy guard and lock screen and weather clock.
I know there are custom roms with All touchwiz stuff but are there any with best of both world like Touchwiz and CM 10 in one ?
This may be dumb Q to ask but I had to ask.

I believe if you had CM 10 that the features would not work. It just works for touchwiz sadly.
But everyone has their own opinion on the best custom rom. So just try them out for yourself!

I know CM roms dose not work with those stuff already tried it. Also tried lot of touchwiz roms they are good but I haven't found one that is on Touchwiz with all Samsung goodies that S4 made to do with some of CM10 stuff such as lock screen, weather clock and Privacy guard.
Hi everyone,
I really like Aopk and I have used it on my old S2. I was really exited when it came out for the S4 and I flashed it right away but I was really disappointed when I saw that the S4 features were not there. Is there a rom that is very similar to Aopk and has all the S4 features or at least has a very similar lockscreen (very important to me)? I looked at a lot of ROMs that have the S4 features but they look almost the same way as the S4 original look (stock). I wan't it to be stable because I use it for work and for school and I can't have it doing weird things on me. If there isn't a ROM like that is there any way I can take the Aopk ROM and take another ROM that has all the S4 features and some how combine them?(my only complaint to Aopk is that it doesn't have the S4 features)
Oh and by the way, I have the T-Mobile S4
Thank You
If by 'S4 features' you mean the samsung apps and TouchWiz UI then no. Those are locked into the stock rom. There are roms that remove the carrier bloat of the original rom while leaving TouchWiz and samsung apps intact, which it sounds like you have found. But I dont think its possible to add the samsung apps to something like AOKP. AOKP and AOSP are by definition open source so using the closed source Samsung software wouldnt make sense. Thats my understanding, I may be misinformed.

Yea it's not really possible. The closest thing you would get is by taking one of the Google Edition ROMs and hacking in the features yourself since they do run on the TouchWiz Framework and Kernel, it's just stripped down to Vanilla Android.
By the features I mean NFC, S Beam, Air view, Motions and gestures, and stuff like that. Can you guys explain what you said in the previous posts a little more, because I have simple knowledge about ROMs but I am not all that advanced. Is there any way I can at least completely change the lockscreen to look like Aopk's if I can't have Aopk and the features?
Thank You

Stock ROM runs on stock everything, as well as Touchwiz Launcher.
AOKP,CM10, and AOSP Roms Run on Trebuchet, Nova or Apex Launcher.
Stock ROM has al lthese features built in, as well as proprietary files that are made just for stock Touchwiz Period. The have been signed and designed to work with TouchWiz Roms only..
Now if you want Aokp type Lockscreen, there are plenty of Mods and Themes that Can help You with that, PLENTY, Look in the THEMES & APPS SECTION of t he International Galaxy S4 section or the T-Mobile Section. Spend a little more time on XDA as well and you'll find the answer to your question in little or no time at all.
But In simple form, NO , Those features you listed only work on touchwiz Roms, and just a small thing as changing the launcher can disable som of them permanently.
If I help. Please Hit the Thanks Button

Unfortunately not. But The International Roms are feature packed my friend. Try The Omega Rom, and you can pretty much use the domination theme. P.M Me for more help buddy.
The closest you're going to get is to run Apex or Nova launcher and a AOSP based lock screen on the stock ROM. Not a bad solution and it will retain all of the S4 TW features.

Can you please give me a link to exactly what you are talking about(or download link)? I really want a lockscreen with a slider and you slide to an app and then you put in your pattern to unlock and then you go you your application you've chosen or to your home screen.

Lockscreen - Holo Locker Plus - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.locker.plus&hl=en
Launcher - Either Apex or Nova
I've been on CM for the last few years, but I've been running Wicked V4 on this new S4 and LOVE it. Since my OG droid in '09, this is one of my favorite ROMs. Performance-wise it's really really good. Best battery life I've every had on a phone (don't know how much of that is S4 and how much of that is ROM/kernel)
It's AOSP-ish in that it's fully debloated (no samsung or T-mo apps), and it's not themed. That being said, it runs on the TouchWiz framework, so you get all the S4's new hardware features.
It's also a little CM-ish in that there's some minor configurability with respect to the notification bar (clock colors, position, battery icons, etc)
Give it a try!!

I recommend either the infamous ROM or the Wicked ROM. 3minit settings (infamous) makes the phone very customizable. Wicked has (and is expanding) his own ROM control. I've tried both ROMs and honestly don't miss AOSP whatsoever.
It's easier to click "thanks" than type it.

Hi,
I really like Apex and I really like Holo Locker Plus so thank you for the suggestions but when I lock my screen and then press the power button 99% of the time Holo Locker Plus lockscreen does not appear it just goes to my home screen. How can I fix this? And how can I put a pattern lock on it?
Thanks

Not sure about the power button issue. As far as the pattern lock, it should display after the holo screen. Stock would work this way too.
If you like asop looks and theme try this this theme on touchwiz rom

Thank You for all the suggestions, I have a quick question though. Is the OMega ROM good and stable and will it work on my T-Mobile S4?
Yes, it will. Just make sure you flash a T Mobile based kernel afterwards. Otherwise you'll boot loop.

ROM Request- Can someone create a ROM or refer me to one which has 4.4.2 KitKat with apps ported from Note 3 and Galaxy S4? I have researched up on this little bit, but without any luck couldn't find a ROM for my carrier. Note 3 currently has 4.4.2 KitKat and after looking at it looks pretty good. It is kind of like the "S4 Revolution ROM," but unfortunately it doesn't support T-Mobile carrier.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-s4-revolution-v12latest-update-t2311671
Basic idea is that I am looking for a ROM that looks similar to 4.4.2 KitKat running on Note 3 right now.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_02wdy_oENo I am currently running CyanogenMod 11 (M3) for t-mobile, but I started missing some of the features that TouchWiz offers. If anyone has ideas how I can get some Note 3 features: Multiwindows (Quad view, Same app in two windows), note 3 lockscreen(ink effect0...etc. Please let me know how I can get them, but I also do like the new Google Now launcher & do not want to remove it. Is it that I cannot get any of these features in a ROM like CyanogenMod? Because I like how this ROM is but would like to add some "features" if possible. (Current Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999)
Thanks for the help in advance!
Take one of AOSP Kitkat Roms and skin/theme it to make it look like Note 3

You can look for LiquidSmooth, PAC Man, AOKP or Slim Bean. For Theaming Look in Play Store for a pretty launcher like Go Launchers and its themes.

I tried looking for these ROMS but none of them run 4.4.2 KitKat.
Request made, as XDA is not a support site, members are expected to read and research the products in the development threads to find what they need. Or learn how to mod what it is they would like.
I was browsing on 4chan's wallpaper board and I came across this guy's homescreen and I really want to achieve this look on my phone with hopefully something like a Paranoid Android ROM for my S2 because of it's high customizability. I want to keep it all lightweight and performant since the S2 isn't necessarily powerful. I have a newer S2 model and it's from rogers but T-Mobile ROMs seem to work fine on it. Right now my model number with this carbon rom is SGH-T989, I want to change ROM as fast as possible since it's really unstable and generally slow/glitchy so I want to overhaul my phone into something almost identical to the picture attached.
Thank you for your time!
Does anyone know what launcher that is?
Oh wait.
I found mostly everything on that
He uses the latest Nova launcher prime to do the folders
And the he has widget locker lockscreen
