[Q] CM10/AOSP/AOKP apks in stock ROM - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to install CM10/AOSP/AOKP apks in the stock TW ROM?
At the moment I'm running AOKP nightly and love the layout and features of the apps. However I miss some of the TW features (mainly gestures, battery life and IR blaster).
The apps that I mostly care about are:
1. Messaging
Found the following thread, will keep an eye on it, but as it stands MMS isn't working.

2. Contacts
3. Phone
Reason I want the above is because I hate the look of the TW interface for the above 3 apps, and much prefer the clean look of the CM10/AOSP/AOKP versions.
Thanks!

buddy, Aosp/Aokp/Cm10 rom has made using Aosp pure Rom. so if u install any application and it installed normally then only it can work else any Mod can change that using compiling the application.

I'm not sure what you mean.
Maybe I wasn't clear in my first post.
Is it possible to port the apk's mentioned above to Stock TouchWiz firmware.
Messaging has been completed, now all I need is contacts.apk and phone.apk to work.
I'm already running AOKP (and love it), but miss some of the stock features (mainly gestures and IR blaster).
So if I could get a combination of stock rom and certain AOKP apk's then I'd be happy!

Non touchwiz (Sprint) MultiView rom?

I've seen some omni rom's for different carrier's for the s4 that have multi window. Is there such a rom for Sprint?
Preferrably 4.4.2 but not necesary. Currently I'm running Omega Rom v19 after exporting APN's from cm10.2 using apn backup/restore (giving it system app status with titanium pro... but can be done with es). v20 rom doesn't seem to want to boot fully.
Anyways, Omega rom v19 is touchwiz and I really prefer a clean aokp/aosp/cm layout (i.e. google), but the multi window I think is a really indispensable feature that I could really take advantage of.
Any suggestions? I did find Smasher rom that says "multi-view" but I posted on the thread my lack of being able to get it to work in any way other than a simple notification bar.

[Q] Can I make the S5 look like stock android without AOSP rom?

I don't own an S5 yet so I can't test out the current theme options but I'm hoping somebody can answer my question. I prefer the look of stock android over TW. As AOSP roms are fully working yet, is there a way to make the S5 look like stock android?
I know I can use a different launcher, many of which probably have a stock android theme. But.. do these themes change everything to look like stock android, such as the settings app, pop up windows etc? I looked in the Alliance Rom thread which has many theme options but I couldn't see a stock kitkat style theme.

Stock ROM Apps Icon (MOVE/Remove) on Dock G900W8 Galaxy S5

Hi,
GOAL: Samsung Touchwiz stock ROM (as it really works WELL!!)
Remove/Move the APPS Drawer from the DOCK and place in a folder on the wallpaper.
Using an APP LIKE Safestrap gives the opportunity to run multiple roms using SD card.
** I wish to try safestrap on G900W8 but I can't find a compile for W8 to test other ROMS and I anticipate that some one will develop the ability to use this across all Galaxy S5 eventually.
I have taken the standpoint the best way to have a reliable well working Galaxy S5 is to run a stock ROM.
Other roms are excellent but the S5 is also an infant for the custom rom section and future roms will eventually be much more compatible with all hardware.
- root
- remove/uninstall/freeze Samsung Bloatware etc
- Remove the extra junk.
- Enable additional features in CSC xml files like native sip calling or call recording and so on.
The last issue with the Stock ROM that I don't like is the APPS Drawer on DOCK.
I don't need to goto this complete list of apps hardly ever.
Using a different LAUNCHER is a well known solution but I wish to use the STOCK launcher.
Can anyone find the file containing the information. I was unsuccessful in the system/csc and so on.
Thank Guys
Cheers

[Q] 2 Questions about the i9505

Hey guys, so i have got the i9505 and i have a few questions about it.
1: It's pretty laggy but i really do like the look of the s4 touchwiz, are there any tweaks/mods that I can do to increase performance? 2nd option is me installing a rom, any recommendations?
2: I know it's pretty far-fetched but is their like an app where you can install apps on but it's sort of like a cloud storage so you dont have to install the app on your device or sd-card. I don't think there are but if it is possible it would be epic. If there are no apps like that, is there an option to automatically save app data to a cloud storage (yeah i have titanium backup pro, but i dont think when you put your files in dropbox/google drive it will actually read them from dropbox/google drive. And when you sync app data with dropbox/google drive i dont think it removes the files of your sd card.
So if someone knows something about these 2 topics I'd like a reply
Thanks for reading,
See the custom roms are on preference.
Few like the touchwiz based roms.
Others like pure android. (CM AOSP PW Mahdi etc etc)
Touchwiz roms are beautified by the devs. We have to apply themes on CM/AOSP to get the beauty and can change it as and when we like.
CM/AOSP roms have better update support. A touchwiz dev might just abandon the project after a few updates.
Plus CM/AOSP based roms use less ram than touchwiz roms.
On the other hand, TW based roms are a boon for the i9505 people. Those who dont want to trip the knox counter can flash a few TW based roms without tripping knox!!
And TW based roms bring out the real beauty and 0% bloat and lag on the TW launcher and additional aspects.
It is all on preferences. You can check the i9505 Android Development and i9505 Original Android Development thread for your picks
I was a TW rom lover too, till I flashed a CM11 based rom
You can get the TW feel on CM11 bdw
"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ? "
Thanks i'll search for some ROMs then

There are a ROM with allmost Samsung features ripped off?

i received a S5 and of an debt and i will use it, Im a motorola user and im used with rom's like "minimal ROM" with everything ripped, There are any ROM for S5 duos like that?
Thanks
You can use any touchwiz based rom and remove features you don't want at installation. Try epsilon for example that what i used.
If you don't want touchwiz at all, you can just flash aosp or cm rom, it removes all samsung features.

I hate this touchwiz, i will try this epsilon, it work the fingerprint?
Why its so dificult find a clean ROM for samsungs, touchwiz + bloatware sux Hahahah
Thanks
You can choose what stock features to leave, and fingerprint is one of them, so yes you can make fingerprint work.
There is also XtreStoLite which consists in a very debloated rom (500mb or so) and in an add-on which has every samsung feature from wich you can chose only those you need (like fingerprint or one hand mode). An the battery life its just...amazing. Minimal rom...maximal batt.
