Hi all, I've been searching high and low and I am unable to find a definitive answer. I currently have the AT&T Samsung Galaxy i777 and I really want the running apps widget that was on the Samsung Epic 4G when it first came out. I've done some searching and it seems that particular widget is only available for the TouchWiz launcher. With all due respect, I don't want anything similar to it with the same functions and such, the widget itself was super cool as a graphic and as an app because you could kill individual apps, not a kill all type of app. So, my question is, is there either a TouchWiz version available for CM10 AOKP Jelly Bean, or is there an .apk that can be installed? Your help is greatly appreciated.

You can install touchwiz on CM10, and run the widgets that are specific to touchwiz launcher (like S3 weather widget)

I have searched this and other similar sites and can't find an answer to this question. Task650 put downloads to the digital clock widget, e-mail widget and other system widgets in his Galaxy Task custom rom. My question is has anyone ported any of the same widgets to work on the CM9 ICS Roms yet? I like the roms but miss the clock and weather widgets. If it has been done and someone knows where they are located I would appreciate it...
And for the inevitable comments...YES I have searched on this site and other Tab modding forums.
Thanks in advance.
Guys could u help me out here...I want to add the official galaxy s3 weather widget into apex launcher. Is it not possible as the widget menu does not have the touchwiz widgets! Is there a workaround?
Can't.

What would have to be done to "port" it? I know that's a really large open ended question, but should I figure out what apk it is and then start poking around in there to pull resources etc. out? I've seen that someone already has made a port for the ace so it shouldn't be too difficult .
Hello guys,
I am looking for Jelly Bean ROM ( I mean JB look, i don`t like samsung overlay on android) but with all special functions of Samsung Galaxy s 3 such as S Voice, Smart Stay and touch options( zooming with two fingers on picture in gallery etc.) I spent whole day on searching but didn`t find any maybe looking in wrong place? or just doesn`t exist?

I would suggest a custom deodexed sammy rom (wanam, omega etc) with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730397 and nova or apex launcher! Thats as close as you can get.

And does the "pan to move icons" works? I have already found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886332 MS Team HD 5.0 and it doesn`y support it but just it so it`s very acceptable. Another thing, but propably in every rom, lack of S Planner widget.
Would totally love this combination as well. Mainly so I can keep WiFi tethering which Vanilla JB ROMs don't have.
Nice to hear that I`m not alone
S Planner and other samsung applicatins might be in the rom, depending if the author put it in or not. I can not give you that specific advice because I am using cm10. So you gotta check some roms out and see whats in there.
You also have the option to flash deodexed stock rom and then vertumus theme, so you got the complete Samsung stuff. Here you get the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704185
Oh and perhaps also check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911572 Has the JB look out of the box
http://galaxys3.roms-db.com/ also very neat when trying to find a suiting rom!
Apex or Nova launcher with holo locker.

Hi all! now i understand that threads debating the 'Best' ROM, theme, app, mod or setting arent something XDA is fond of, but thats not the particular reason I'm here, I've looked through countless threads in the mod/theme section and I'm wondering if someone can help me find the best solution for me. I'm relatively technically minded and a half-decent IT worker but I will openly admit when it comes to development/flashing, I'm one to follow instructions to the letter to get what I need up and working, but never learn the deeper workings.
I've an unbranded i9300 which I've had flashed with CM 10/10.1 and have kept updating with nightlies, but now I seek to branch out and find a ROM that will allow me the super-stability, additional working features (Allshare Cast [in particular], NFC, multi-view) of the stock Samsung image. I've since flashed philz custom touch recovery, and then proceeded to flash Sotmax Jelly Bean Ultimate Stock V10 available here. Its provided all the features I want, working, a good kernel and some customizability but the cartoony, colourful Samsung visuals are the reason I flashed from stock in the first place.
Can anyone help me find anything I can add to my device to get me a stock 4.1.2 lock screen, dropdown/notifications, launcher and settings? Essentially as much of the UI from CM10.1 as possible. I flashed Domination 1.4.3 as it looked and seemed perfect - but didn't change the lockscreen, and i started noticing lots of lag when scrolling/opening apps instantly. Is it thoroughly incompatible with the ROM im looking to use, or have i done something wrong along the way?
If this is a noob thread i do apologize but these forums can be so cluttered and misorganized to someone unused to searching through them that it can be hard to find something - if you dont know exactly what it is you need.

So you want some features from Samsung stock rom (camera, NFC, default framework and drivers), but the look of original 4.1.2 (CM10)?
I want this too!

Thank you, i'll be checking those two out!
Ive since found the Null ROM here and it also seems to be exactly what we want/need from scratch, a mix of 4.1.2, Samsung Features, and a CM/AOKP look and feel. Still missing that lock screen though. Holo locker is the look that i desire - but it seems to lag when switching on, the normal homescreen displays for up to a second before it reverts to the lock. odd..
I use UltimaRom for same reason.
I wanted to use some of samsung apps but with look and feel of CM10.
And UltimaRom provides that. It also let me choose which samsung I want to keep and which I want to get rid of to keep my phone faster.
Ultima looks excellent! Thanks for the recommendation, nice boot loaders too and excellent file/mod support on his site

take a look at the null rom. Perfect for all your needs.
Hi guys,
As the title says, I'm looking for some custom Jelly Bean 4.3 Roms based on official Samsung Rom for my i9100, so it would have Touchwiz also.
Currently i keep switching between CM10.2 (4.3.1) and Wanamlite 14.7 (4.1.2).
I like Wanamlite just because it uses the Samsung Touchwiz interface i like so much. Other than that, any other stock Rom, rooted and debloated would do just about the same.
What i like about CM10.2 and cyanogenmod in general is the speed and stability the Rom feels like. Also, the latest 4.3 Roms gave me infinitely great battery lives compared to any other JB Rom i tried since. And judging from other posts and reviews on the internet, Google worked their magic on 4.3 to help small batteries run through the day (almost double the life of 4.1.2 or even worst 4.2.x).
So it seems the perfect combo for me would be a 4.3 custom with TW.
Is there such a Rom, because it seems i can't find it.
Thanks.
There is no such thing. TouchWiz is more than a launcher. It`s a full system framework integrated in pretty much everything. For example, TW ads the speed dial and video call in phone app, the swipe to quick call or message in contacts app, SNS integration, FM Radio. And of course all the other "smart" features, like smart display.
If however, you don't need any of the features mentioned above, you can find custom launchers with skins that look exactly like TW and use them on any custom rom.
Thank you for your reply.
I realize i can install some Launcher apps to get some of the TW "feel", as i already tried Apex and Nova launchers. But they don't come even close to the real TW experience. As you said, TW is more than an icon set or interface color set. It's also about built-in apps and features. I know nothing about coding and programming on Android, so i thought one could implement TW along all those apps into some custom ROM like CM10.2 (4.3).
So, i guess i was wrong.
If so, this thread can be closed.
Thank you.
