Are our phones compatible with the new designed dialer or any other stock apps? I'm trying to get my look changed so I used HK themer with the new theme type coming out and it changed a few things but I'm curious to see if there is a way to theme our phones more since we can't get roms. I'm not talking about sms or phone apps from Google play, I mean deeper theming.

[anyDEV] can anyone develop the sense ui for this device ?
I think you could find a sense launcher and sense clock somewhere in these forums or in google play try search google by term sense launcher.apk and sense clock.apk

Unlikely because Sense is HTC proprietary and requires a special kernel, frame work , and libraries.
Also , questions go in the Q&A section and put more information in the title so people know what you are posting about.

Sorry abt not posting this in the right section....but bro i do believe that someone out there is working on or trying to port it to the device
There have been countless attempts to port Sense, TouchWiz, and Blur to devices that don't ship with said interfaces. I have never seen a fully working ROM ever ported. They get to a certain point in functionality, then progress stops as the only way to fix the remaining issues is to get new binaries compiled which only HTC/Samsung/Moto have the ability to do. Feel free to try it yourself, but I doubt anyone is going to accomplish this. Also, why would you want Sense? It is probably the most bloated of all the OEM Skins out there.

Install a rom that has a theme chooser, download sense aokp/cm theme from market, HTC icons, APW widgets and Nova launcher. That will get you pretty close.
*edit, nevermind. Sense theme chooser theme doesn't work, at least with the cm10 with tablet mod I am using.

Hi everybody,
one week ago I bought a new Samsung Galaxy S4.
It is a great mobil phone, but I really miss HTC Sense from my HTC One X+
So my question is:
Is there anywhere a "rom" or an other possibility to get HTC Sense on the S4??
Thx for your help.

Some people might be able to port it but they won't, infact lets say the most easy port will be for the I9505 only since the Exynos octa is too complicated and needs different librarys and files.... and another thing is that eventually when it ports your GS4 features won't work anymore since the Sense wizard doesnt support them which makes the GS4 useless it used to matter on old Cells when the hardware and software were almost identical and only the appearance changes but nowadays its a badass mutation that these pieces of Tech are going through
maybe someone will give you a launcher but not the whole Sense Wiz

You'll never have sense 4/5 on Samsung device many reasons for that lemme give you a few.
1. It would take forever to try and port it ( while the port would have sh1t load of buggs )
2. Pretty much requires the whole system cuz of framework.
3. Different drivers ( tho would be easier to port it on snapdragon s4)
4. HTC is never gonna give their codes since then everyone would have blink feed, HTC gallery etc, Zoe, you name it. Same with Samsung, everyone would have multiwindow etc what doesn't require hardware.
The only way you can have some type of sense would be getting launcher and downing icon packs.
Best would be flashing cm /aokp / aosp.
Getting icon pack for the launcher and downloading sense theme for cm
As for widgets there are bunch of them on the market or you could download uccw and make yourself some.
Anyway whatever you do it'll never be good as original. You'll always miss key features.

On the other hand if you don't like the touch wiz you can pretty much have full Xperia system
Widgets, walkman, bravia, gallery, etc, you name it. Just look at xda or use search button.
hi guys,
my samsung galaxy s2 has been giving me a lot of problems lately (signal issues and cracked screen). I couldn't afford the latest handset, so after reading up lots of reviews about google nexus 4, I bought it from ebay.
The phone is most definitely fast (Android 4.3), but many odd features to give you easy access are missing...I assume this is because it's a stock rom?
I want the theme/menus of the phone to look similar a samsung galaxy s2/s3/s4. Is there a way of doing this without flashing a totally new rom to it?
Thank you for your help
To get a full samsung experience such as in setting/laucher/etc to work you need to have samsung framework..which is a lot of work. You can try and search around the forum but I don't think anyone here bought the phone for samsung experience. The best you can do is apply touchwiz theme but that requires you to flash custom roms. For tw launcher you can try this here. Just search around and you'll definitely find something you can use.
Thank you for your quick reply arffrhn.
I don't want to flash a custom rom...at least not for a while. I think I might have described it wrong mate as I don't want touchwiz.
Let me start again....The samsung s2 that I have is running on a custom rom called neatrom....Have you heard of it? I really like it's style as it's very simple and looks cool with colours and dialpad.
But instead of putting on a custom rom, Is there a theme that I can use so that I can change the dialpad style/colour and menu looks etc?
You can try xposed framework and try out some themes. That's the best way to customize your phone without flashing any roms imo.
Try Paranoid Android or carbon custom rom; it comes with lots of tweaks and custom features.

Try a custom ROM and take your conclusions.
I've had a galaxy s2 and my Nexus 4 is better in so many ways
Why is it so That there are so many roms based on touchwiz and not any other ui like ios7 or Huawei Or HTC
Why cant we open up And think of other ui's and not Samsung
Because I am feeling bored of using Samsung's ui

No one likes the Samsung's Touchwiz, but there is no need to make special ROMs for each UI. All you need is a base ROM and customize it the way you like it using Xposed and a custom ported or third-party launchers.
People used to make so many ROMs because they would be themed differently, with different features added here and there but that's pointless now since almost everything can be altered and changed on your own in the stock based ROMs.
All AOSP/CM based ROMs support themes that cover framework, systemUI, player, icons everything into Huawei, HTC and several other custom UIs. Features differ in AOSP ROMs and therefore there are several ones already available and constantly improved.
Asking devs to provide themed ROMs at this point is like saying I'm too lazy to do it on my own so please do it for me, but of course, that's just my personal opinion.

Hi there every one,
This is my first thread and second post. I have made some research but really want to make this question, can Touchwiz on the new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge be changed for the stock version of Android? If yes, How many core functionalities (Edge contacts, etc) Will be lost?
Thank you.
It depends on which version of the Galaxy s7 you get. Verizon and at&t lock their bootloaders, so it would be impossible on those versions. In addition, you would have to wait for someone to find a root method, and for a developer to make a custom ROM. As far as features go, you would would lose all Touchwiz related features such as the edge functionality, split screen, etc. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
If you're able to unlock the bootloader (if it's locked) and once root comes out for the device and ROMs are available, then yes you can. But as the person before me said, you'll lose all of TouchWiz's extra features and it'll be like using a Nexus device. I personally wouldn't want to install Stock Android on my S7 Edge, I think TouchWiz brings a lot of things to the table for it.
Would we not be able to use the Samsung camera app if this was done? Would this make the camera have worse performance in terms of speed and processing or??

In the past, if you install stock Android you need to use the AOSP or Google camera app, or any of the many in the Play Store. Some port cameras from other phones, but generally the camera experience will be significantly worse in terms of performance, quality, and features.
Thank you for the helpful information.
Except whats beeing posted above, if you want some stock feel to the homescreen and apps atleast there is the Google Launcher you could use, and maybe a theme? But other than that, nothing more right now. But im going to give the new UI a chance, looks promising.
Are these phones not all the same this time around?
Wasn't it being said that they are all the same and whatever the first SIM card you pop in locks into that carrier?
If this is the case, won't all of the S7 Edge US models be technically unified for development?
No, the phones are designed for different carriers, and have support for different LTE bands. In addition, Verizon and at&t lock their bootloaders so u can't customize phones u get from them. U might be able to use a T-Mobile phone on at&t because they share many of the same bands.
i have searched... and cant find the exact answer.. so i have an ATT galaxy S7, and i want to get rid of the touchwiz.. and the horrible samsung messenger, email, and phone, and other apps.. i would like it to be the same as my nexus phone. can anyone point me in the right direction?
Try Google Now Launcher and download the google apps for messaging, calling, clock, etc
is there a way to fully disable samsung dialer/contacts and use google instead ? what about incoming phonecalls ?
