So, in the latest days I was experimenting with TouchWiz, mostly with porting it to mid-sized screens. After many fails with the whole framework porting, I looked for an existing one, and found out Rolle did it for the Nexus One. Played around the APK file, and found out - it works flawless without modifications!
So I collected some widgets, the launcher, some apps (maybe required, maybe not), and deodexed them myself. Currently I am testing them, and I will post all my discoveries just right here.
Until then, here is the partially working TouchWiz Launcher.
Bugs are the following:
- Wrong size menu, last line's bottom is cut
- On the bottom bar, only two icons instead of four - don't know if it is because of old launcher or just the screen size.
- Sometimes it is slow
- Some widgets (simple Search, not google one) is smeared around the screen.
But some features do work:
- The whole TouchWiz Launcher
- Nice and fast and SMALL (only 1.4MB, approx 2MB installed - apk can be transported on a standard floppy disc!)
- All basic features working
- Loads all widgets
Wht about this ?

And when u say widgets, please clarify u mean android widgets, because it sounds like u have the samsung widgets working.
I am talking about Samsung widgets, yes. I don't have them working (yet) but I am trying the best I can do to get them install-run-work. I know, mostly it will need a whole framework porting, and as the G1 has limited space on SYSTEM, it can be only done via symlink and DATA linking, but worth a try
Would be very interested to see this when its done, despite all that touchwiz-hate I think TouchWiz 3 has made major improvements on previous versions
I agree. TouchWiz isn't too amazing, but I wouldn't mind the Samsung widgets, especially Daily Briefing.
nice man please keep up on this. i love all the mini mods android can provide to my phone
Hope you can fix ^^ it's awesome!
Any progress ?

for the galaxy s2 there is a multi window mod. Maybe we coud install it also on our tab 7+. because it has the same exynos chip.
i could´t test this because for my wifi only tab 7+ is no jelly bean yet.
but if it does not fuction maybe a dev can port it also to the tab 7+.

+1 for this. Although apps like Overskreen, Floating Browser and etc exists, it would be great if it was integrated to one app(MultiWindow).

Is there a lot of interest for this, or are there alternatives?
Is there a lot of interest for this, or are there alternatives that people/Devs are preferring?
I like the Multiwindow function on my S3, and would really like to see it or something similar on a Galaxy 7" tablet. I want to use it to run a GPS routing App & a Music App at the same time, while running WaveControl in the background. It works great on the S3, but I feel that ~half the screen is too small to be used well for GPS. So, I have had a GT+ for a while, but sold it until I can find which of the two (GT+ or GT2) will get MultiWindow or similar.
I have seen the Overskreen, but that's Browser only. I've seen the floating Apps, but that seems to be specific Apps, and part of the main App gets covered up by the floater. So neither seems to be able to replace Multiwindow, unless there's a way to make any App a floating App.
Any thoughts/ideas?

All your options are really not going to happen, but one day, in the future, after we get full stable releases for more models of the 7+, someone will port over the multi-window stuff that is form the Note 2 / S4 that is in custom ROMs for the S3. Lets get stable stock ROMs for all the G+ models first
.Android currently is not built to handle floating window, its a real hack just to get a browser to float.

Alright, sounds good. I'm hoping that we do get multi-window when the stock ROMs are fully fleshed out. I was also trying to gauge what ROM developers were going for, whether Multi-Window or Floating Apps were more relevant to them. Supposedly there was one ROM that had Beta multi-window, but the developer seems to have dropped that in favor of the floating option. I just don't see it as a viable replacement, at least not yet.
Apart from my 7 plus tab I own a Samsung galaxy grand that has 1 gb of ram and a 1.2 ghz double core processor (like our 7 plus), and it has multi windows option out of the box (jb 4.1.2), which means that it's doable for our tab. It's a matter of editing the main flashbar.apk, and some framework files.
Easier said than done, yes, I know...:silly:
I just pulled the main flashbar apk and the multi windows related frameworks and permissions from my galaxy grand and pushed them into my tab (p6210 running pa 3.15).
I rebooted, the apk installed, and I saw on my task manager that it was on, good sign.
But (there is always a but) I had nothing to trigger it. On the galaxy grand there is a multi windows icon next to the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS etc icons on the status bar, but obviously no such icon on the tab.
To get one such icon one needs to edit some jars in the framework folder, and maybe the system ui apk as well. I could do it if I had plenty of time (because I'm still relatively new to those things) but unfortunately I don't have much time in the moment.
If anyone wants to do it just tell me and I'll upload the files here...

Thanks for trying! By the way, the ported multiview on my Sprint Galaxy SIII is activated by holding down the back button. Could you try that? I don't know if it will work since on the S3 it is basically a hardware button, but just in case.
I tried, without much hope because I'm on pa 3.15 and as you may know the multi windows app works only with the TW framework (pa doesn't use TW ui). And guess what, it didn't work. I tried as well to trigger the app with smart taskbar, multi windows manager and a couple of other apps but nope, no fun...
I had a closer look at my galaxy grand and in some drawable folders I found the multi windows icons and triggers. One would need to add these files to the G plus systemui.apk and framework.apk, and add/remove some lines to some jars and stuff.
It's doable and I probably could do it, but I won't, for the sole reason that I own a p6210 and that jb hasn't been released for that model yet, sorry...
If you know how to decompile/recompile then try this, it works on the S2 and it may work on the G plus:

Its not a full rom just a flashable mod but u do have to be on a DEODEXED version...it is completely safe just makes it easier to change theme & mod but as always please read the instructions carefully and be sure to backup your device before flashing. Since I'm assuming u own a P6200 then u will need the original MC3 firmware as well as chrisrotolo's deodexed MC3 zip installed before u flash the multi window mod. Yes, tethering works & the phone function does too BUT u may have to download another dialer from the play store(i'm using ex dialer & contacts) if the samsung phone app wont open

Hi fellows,
I have been running cm 10.1 on my note N7000 for some time now after using stock touchwiz before that. CM is really great but I'm missing S-pen related productivity apps on it. Since, they are apps like other apps on the phone so can anyone please give me the apk for these applications?
Also, can we install premium suite on it for additional features from note 2?if so, please share the link for installing that add well.
Much thanks in advance for the help.
I guess you're new... You cant install Touchwiz based apps on CM, Paranoid Android, AOSP, AOKP etc, because they need Samsung framework.
Yeah it's tough but you need to choose.
buddy u have certain alternatives to samsung spen apps.
although the exact functionality cant be replicated but still, they do the job perfectly.
the top Spen apps available are
1- GMD SPEN Gestures control app
2- GMD Gesture Control
3- GNote - a note taking app available in XDA
4 - Jotter - a premium note taking app available in Play Store
5- Some other SNote alternatives like Asus Note, Notespad mobile, Memo(although there are a few versions to this also by different developers), and many more to name a few here
If u just want to pick urself, I would suggest you go to Play store and just search for Spen or similar...
U'll have heaps of results.
PS- by the way the newer builds of certain ROMS based on AOSP have Stylus gestures incorporated into them ...
try them out...
regards and good luck
Thanks guys. I feared that but was hoping I might be wrong. So, either I'll have to go back to touch wiz or choose from the alternatives suggested above. Much appreciated your help.
This is for DeOdexed XXMC3 GT-P6200 AND DeOdexed GT-P6210 XXMD3 Only!!
For this Mod to work, you will need:
1.) Use a 3rd Party Launcher, (Nova,Apex,Trebuchet,etc.)
2.) You will need to make this your default launcher.
3.) Go to Settings and Force Stop TouchWiz Home Launcher I also cleared data/cache)
After this you can reboot and install this mod.
From my own experience and research on the Tab 2 forums, this may be the only way this works.

Warning: Unconfirmed with stock Touchwiz Launcher, Please download both .zips as a precaution.
Nao with 4 Way Reboot! Sure Scripts and Quick Boot maybe be easier/faster but it feels so much better integrated. Also Quick Boot doesn't go to download mode I dont think.
For Hot Boot to work you need to symlink PKILL with BusyBox Installer (recommend: JRummy) as mentioned : here
Known issues:
Alarm clock is distorted pretty bad when alarm goes off, but you can still easily slide to disable it..
To Fix: Install Xposed Installer with PerAppSettings .apk , set alarm clock DPI to 160 and Screen(dpi) to 600x1024.
Lockscreen missed call/unread text slider is distorted in portrait only.
Fix: Using Xposed per app settings, set Android OS DPI to 160 and Screen(dpi) to 600x1024.
Flash .zip in CWM or TWRP recovery. This will wipe davik-cache.
may 16 fixed scipt umount should have been umount. oops..
Enjoy guys.
reserved for future. thanks.

I don't see any good reason for Samsung not shipping JB with Tab UI.

Yes, it did.
Well after factory reset, these .zips seem to do nothing.. even with nova launcher. Strange indeed.
will do some more testing..
so far.. I think I'm going to have to rule this out , not working with touchwiz launcher.
as added to original post, this mod seems to only work on custom launchers which are set as default.
Also got some new wallpaper with this mod, see below.
Thank you for your work! It work great, just wondering is your mod adjust any dpi?
No dpi changes, use xposed if you are interested.
Is it working great with custom launcher?, if so can we get the name of the one you are using, also have you attempted to use touchwiz launcher?
Iwouldnt even recommend trying to go back, you may get stuck..
will add this and recommend force stopping twhome launcher to OP later, busy now.
thanks guys.

Multiwindow Mod
attn: chrisrotolo
Although I'm sure this is not the proper place to ask (and apologize if it annoys the op) but since you seem to be the only active developer for our device who is still attempting to modify stock i just wanted to know if u have spent any amount of time looking into porting the multiwindow mod to the P6200? Im not sure how familiar u are with the two distinct versions so far which can best be described as the 4.11 or phone/flashbar version and the 4.1.2 or tablet/floating windows version. At this point to get either working would be wonderful & a goal i'd be willing to brick my tab about(well maybe not literally but sum sacrifices must be made in the name of science...lol). Of course i've attempted the simpler solutions such as adding the permissions file & multiwindows jar which is enough to get the checkbox to appear in settings as well as the view selector controls to show up where the miniapps bar is located but obviously none of my attempts have been 100% successful. So far i have baksmali'd the various jars and have found almost all of the functionality to be intact when compared to the NOTE 10.1 which has the newest /preferred version of the multiwindow option but I must admit that i'm a complete newb when it comes to code so i thought i would seek sum assistance...that's if u even have the desire to dedicate sum time to tackle the task. If not, I only ask that u point me in the direction of someone with the time/knowledge/willingness to get it done because at this point i have become determined to do so. I have however done the least i can do which is read essentially EVERY post of EVERY thread on EVERY variation of the mod in an attempt to get an understanding of what i may be missing so below i will link to a couple of those of particular interests where they've had both success & failure.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056515
^this is for the original note & although it includes uneccessary(but cool) extras this mod has not only been a success but would be the ideal version to get working imho
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024227
^this a how to of of the older version of the mod for the galaxy s2(which as u know is the closest phone to our own device). Most of it applies to the newer version as well except the flashbar.apk itself which is not used anymore(i think...lol)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988329
^this is the best breakdown i've found of the 2 different implementations & is actually written by the same guy that started the first thread i posted although again this is for the note/note 2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049516
^ even though after almost 100 pages of posts this one is still a failed attempt i felt it was important to note because these guys have dug through the code EXTENSIVELY so if it is in fact a deeper issue i'm sure they would be more familiar with what WONT work and plus the fact that it's a sgs2 variant i fear we may be in a similar situation.
p.s. i aplogogize about the huge post ahead of time & thx in advance for any insight u may offer
Thanks.
I breifly glanced at the idea before.
I'm not real interested in the use/function actually.
I am interested in learning the prot/development part however. I also do not have much free time because of my job and married life.
When I do get a chunk of time, I will look into this for you and whoever may be interested.
I did see the SungSonic ROM at Tab 2 has an 'alfa5' version of multiwindow mod.
In the meantime, I encourage you to continue trying and feel free to email me if you need any assistance.
Thanks, Cheers.
Error Status 6
Every time I attempt flashing the zip I get an error status 6 and aborts the install. I did set Apex launcher as my default launcher and cleared data for touchwiz. I also tried flashing the stock phablet zip and that worked then I cleared data factory reset and flashed the zip with the same status 6 error and went into a boot loop, any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
try download again, maybe old file update script was missing a " or ) or blank line at end.
thanks.

Chris,
I installed it on my 6210. It works fairly nicely.
However, there is a problem with the updater-script.
Line 6:

Needs to be

Thanks for mods. This and the ripple lock screen are really nice upgrades.

Thanks, both 6200 & 6210 script were misspelled, both fixed now. Sorry about that. Stock Phablet .zips look OK.
On my P6210, I noticed one bug in this mod: The notification panel grows over the top edge of the display in landscape mode when I have multiple notifications. I had the same problem using the Xposed TabletUI Trigger (which I tried before) mentioned in the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 forums.
Yes noticed that as well, im on PA ROM now so I cant try anything.
i would setting touchwiz home launcher and systemui to 160dpi and 600x1024.
The only thing i noticed going off screen is mostly the clock which isnt a huge deal.
Nexus Redefined- Final version.
Ok, guys time for the final version of this rom. Before that let me give thanks to you all. Its now proven that this rom is one of the best roms for our device, and this is possible only because you people liked the rom. Since previous two versions were almost perfect, i made a little change in this version. Hopefully u dont have to flash anything for bug fixing or camera. I now have very limited access to my phone since i have upgraded to Galaxy Nexus, the moment i created this version, i flashed it and checked the major features like camera, GPS, wifi etc. Seems fine to me, there should not be any further issue with it now. So here i present u Nexus Redefined rom.
Changelog:
Rebase the rom with Repacked version of Nexus V2.1 made by Stas2z. Big thanks to him for some bug fixing and liking my rom.
Radio is now updated.

Added CM DSP manager- it should give some sound boost.
Pure Audio MoD.
Many init.d tweaks like- zram,sqlite,zipalign etc.
Adobe flash player added for viewing flash enable web sites.
Stock full functioning camera, no need to change built.pro or use previous files.
Fixed uninstalling giving FC
Almost full Developer option, you can enable or disable HW coposer, enable MSA tweak etc.
3 shortcut lockscreen- unlocking, Google search and Camera.
CM lockscreen widget and Dash clock widget to choose from, no icons in the app drawer for CM widget like before.
Removed HOLO launcher, Only Stock Android Launcher is used.
Added a small alternative market for some secret apps not available in playstore- fdroid.
Changed the bootanimation to latest Google bootanimation from Google edition of Galaxy S4. Thanks Shubham Jain for XoloLiquid rom.

Thanks for ur opinion. Actually its my first cook. and i m searching for the resources to have it look like pure vanilla nexus. i have also discussed this matter with some pals. but it seems there are not so many people at this moment willing to work on it. Besides the resources to make a complete nexus like rom is limited too. and i m not a dev. just a rom cooker. i have been asking devs for their help regarding this matter. Since its MTK 6589, its really very hard to have compile even if u have complete sets or rersources. I had a talk with Brajesh, and i m a big fan of his work. Ultimate V2 is very good rom. thanks for pointing me out the issues, i will try to do my best that is within my reach.
and for the benchmark, i checked Antutu and Quadrant, on first run it scored 13111 on antutu and almost 4000 on quadrant, something like 3983. next time when i did intalled some apps antutu scored 13093. and this rom has no sound issue like xolo stock rom.
if u have some source of Nexus goodies like phone app and the other things u mentioned plz pm me. i will try to include them in next version. and yes its a ported rom, and thats why its hard to have complete nexus feel. if there were any way to built it from source, it would have been much easier. altough currently the kernel source is out, but it still lacks some vital files that is required to have fully functional custom kernel. Untill then, i dont see any hope for USB OTG. and next version will be a bare bone one, i will not include any 3rd party app on it.
one last thing mate, if u know a very good themer who is willing to work for our device, plz ask him to Join our group on facebook. Coz i dont think there is much hope without a good themer building a complete nexus like rom.
Thanks for the feedback again.
hey, firstly im glad u bothered to reply, just um taking care of the stuff in BOLD letters, woulda been enough, yeah i now its a mt6589 and making/porting aint easy, i tried pushing nexus 4 system apps, such as phone and contacts into our phones, but. dint really work out, i think its proly because of the different hardware relating to dual sim functionality, however u could try this, holo launcher is free and looks more stock than all other launchers, we already use the normal android 4.2 icons so those look stock, a black background for settings and other system apps, and no third party apps on a fresh ROM, these few stuff would give ur ROM a proper 4.2 stock vanilla look. im not a developer but i believe u can somehow give access to the developer options in settings... like force rendering en all. i already see ur half way there, there are pie controls in ur browser, there the nexus 4.2 camera, also. if u havent already included, throw the stock keyboard away replace with the actual 4.2 keyboard with gesture input http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964663 .. for audio make sure the phone sounds as good as ultimate v2 rom, the acid audio engine and some tweaks in the engineering mode helps increase volume also its easy to use Cyanogen Mod's Player, their file manager also in-cooperates holo theming and looks really stock.. all of these u can get from xda pages. i could help with links if u want, for theming, could be clear of what sort u want, cause we already have a vanilla looking status bar, notifications, icons n stuff.. i mean our framework is already vanilla themed. nexus 4 wallpapers, roms, are all over the internet in case u need em for anything, with ur current ROM, and with the stuff above.. WERE NEARLY THERE. stock JB 4.2 clean NEXUS experience thanks to u
luv ur work , thanks for the ROM mate

Thank u for the encouragement bro. i have gathered some of the required resources. i just need to change the bakcground settings to black like brajesh's rom. His base rom is also very good, but i preferred this base because of multilanguage support and ofcourse it doesnt show the ugly 'G' mark. now come to the point. if u have anything in mind u want me to include in it, u can give me a list and it will be great if u provide the link also. next version, i will be using 2 launchers, Stock Google launcher and Holo launcher. so that users can choose. i also tried to push the dialer and phone apks into the system, but it force closes. i dont know how to fix this. may be its beacuse this rom is still deodexed. and about the music player, i m planning to use stock android music player and also i dont know why u liked Cyanogen file manager. btw, i will look into it. For sound enhancement, i decided not to include ACiD mod, instead i will add 'PureAudio' Mod, i already tried it and it works very good. mean while will add some built.prop and init.d tweaks. thanks for the feedback. i m glad u liked my work.

dont know brother. u can try my addons. use Fly on Mod according to the tutorial of original thread. it has many pluggins like balanced, multitasking, gaming. use gaming pluggins. this might help a bit. and make sure u dont turn on auto brightness while plying these 2 games. Auto brightness in this device is a bit restless. it tries to adjust brightness too quickly and thats why lags sometimes. setting brightness manually will solve this issue i think.

ROM FEEDBACK
Rating: 8/10!.. first ROM to have complete feel!
hey been using your ROM for a while, love the stock vanilla looks, and every basic function works well, has a complete feel.
what i like the most.. full developer options with shortcut to engineering mode, 4.2 features except cam
ISSUES:
android 4.2 default camera app with photosphere seems to be crap, photos taken are dark n bad... when compared to the stock camera app and the one in ultimate v2 rom (that was the best) solution : NONE.. i tried putting camera2.apk from ultimate v2 rom in system/app, and setting right permission but app doesnt show up.... SO I NEED UR HELP HERE. PLEASE tell me how to add that camera app instead of the one in ur ROM. thanks
gaming is stuttery ..not smooth on TEMPLE RUN 2, OZ and SUBWAY SURFERS (solved by enabling disable HW overlays option on developer options... however this option must be turned on every time the phone restarts) also UI more smooth after turning HW rendering... with these changes, gameplay is super smooth and unparalleled. PLEASE tell me a way to automatically turn on disable hw overlays option.
init.d folder is there, but flashing stuff like scripts from cwm which add scripts.. dont work, u have to manually put the scripts in place, like the fly on mod flashing failed... didnt do anything.. because scripts dont get added to init.d (solved by manually putting scripts in folder and setting permission)'
about phone shows galaxy nexus. woulda liked XOLO Q800
other minor bugs, phone or call button in dialer seems slightly dislocated or wrongly alligned,
woulda liked es file explorer over cm file manager ..also as for apollo, and cm file manager u used very early slow, pre-historic versions, these apps have been updated and made speedy, anywy thats not a issue...
PLEASE RESPOND, main priority ... is the camera problem how do i use gallary2.apk from ultimate v2 rom, (system/app ... right permissions tried already) instead of the current cam app. it sucks.
THANKS, sincere fan of urs
Regards...

Thanks for liking my rom. about the Camera, i have uploaded Stock Camera with necessary files also built.prop editing TUT. Plz check OP, they are all included in the 2nd post. i was getting way too many complaints about nexus camera and had to upload the stock ones. I tried the method written by myself and camera with gallery works perfectly fine. and About init.d, i dont know but flashing fly on mod worked on mine, i use TWRP recovery. and i agree cm file manager is slow, i collect it from XDA somewhere and some guys ported it. dont know without port it will work or not. will try it. and about ticking HW overlay everytime, i have no working solution for it for now. i noticed it on every rom that has complete developers options.
shuvo_bd used your second post tutorial got camera working but gallery force closes when i press menu > edit button or 3 circle edit icon says "unfortunately,the process com.android.gallery3dhas.stopped" ... followed ur instructions... perfectly, deleted the correct apks, set permissions, deleted correct lib files.. still." help, thanks.

Hello guys, Honestly i dont know much about making roms. I tried many roms from here and also from different russian forums. It seems to me that the ported roms needs a bit furnishing.
