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
Hello, I've been using PACMAN ROM for a good like 6 months now and I love how it makes my huge Note 2 into a tablet looking thing. I haven't been able to pull the trigger on getting a Galaxy Gear watch yet because I didn't know if it worked with the rom and I'd rather keep the rom than have the limited functions that the watch currently has right now.
I was wondering if the PACMAN rom worked with Galaxy Gear or if there's a way that I can add Galaxy Gear functionality into the rom somehow.
Thanks in advance.
I dont think there would be any way... these things (like snote and other features) depend on the samsung firmware... you'll probably need to revert to a sammy rom to use galaxy gear... make a backup to make it easy for u to revert...

Hi,
Could anyone explain why we don't yet have an AOSP ROM for the Note?
I'm looking forward to getting rid of TouchWiz and I'm curious what the challenges are that prevent developers from just compiling the AOSP code to run on the Note 4.
I'm coming from a lot of Nexus devices so I'm not familiar with the roadblocks in developing ROMs for Samsung devices.
You know only samsung can make feature for s pen and other stuff. If this is a normal phone, that would be easy to make a AOSP rom lollipop like my old galaxy tab 10.1 with 3 year old.
But, this is note with only samsung can create stuff for us. So keep calm and wait

I'm not particularly interested in using the S-Pen or all the other Samsung stuff, I just want a replacement for my Nexus 4 that has better specs. All that other stuff can come later or not at all really.
Thanks Batfink33 for the good news, really looking forward to some AOSP or CM goodness
Hello there,
I had Galaxy Note for 2 years and I have just upgraded to Note 3 Neo.
Samsung Calendar app was really usefull to me everyday, but in Note 3 Neo some features are missing, such as the hold-on-a-date -- sticky-note-pops-up one.
Is there any chance someone can port it for me?
Thannx in advance,
S.
I just got a Galaxy Tab 4 7.0, and I think I speak for almost any Samsung owner when i say i sincerely hate touchwiz. Is there any sort of lead on an AOSP/AOKP based ROM for the tab? Is there something like impeding the progress of a ROM for it? I would really like to know.
Thank you
