I have a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 recently updated to 2.3.6 Gingerbread. I really didn't like the TouchWiz 4.0, so I immediately switched to SuperNexus 2.0 ROM. No doubt the ROM was good and stable, but it wasn't really fun to use. Then after I got a Samsung Galaxy S4 (My primary phone is an HTC One), I really loved the TouchWiz Nature UX 2.0 which added a bit of spice in Android 4.2.2. Now, my question is can we port the ROM to Samsung Galaxy S i9000?
*I have already used Tiger Jelly-Bean and Cyber SGS-IV which didn't give the original look and feel of the S4. I have also used various launchers, which looked FAKE

AFAIK, TW4 can't be used on P1000 because of the hardware specs.
That's what Samsung said and abandoned our lovely P1000.

Utter tripe. Thats what they said about ICS aswell but it runs brilliantly.
I'm one of those strange people that like tw too, And I'd love to have this. But I don't like our chances. I don't think that it's necessarily because it would be too much for our Tab to run. I've played with an early version of S2 ics rom on my gs and it was ok. But the reality I think is that most of the developers who could do this are more interested in pure ics/jb or cm. And that's fine (I'm not complaining or anything). But my thought is that most wouldn't have any personal interest in porting tw to our Tab. And while it may work, it may not be as smooth as JB could be and then they'd have to put up with all the lagging/redrawing/sluggish comments.
I've seen that there is a version of tw ported to work on ics roms, I'm assuming that it's just the phone ui. Have half thought of giving it a go, but now jb is out it's time to move on again.
I would like to port personally Galaxy Tab 2 Touchwiz launcher to our P1000, like that 13-year old boy that ported Galaxy S3 launcher to AOSP ICS, but I don't know how to do. Could anyone help me or give me a link to some guide, please?
@Sir Otto yes yes please do. i will support you the way i can
Is there a AOSP-Touchwiz hybrid rom for the T-Mobile Note 3? I love the full functionality that comes with Touchwiz as I have the Galaxy Gear but but prefer the AOSP interface.

I'm looking for the exact same thing. I love Samsung exclusive features like MHL/HDMI output, but prefer AOSP features from PacMan ROM.
I just wish they ported Sammy features for AOSP.
Hi,
I wish to have Samsung Gingerbread OS for Samsung Galaxy Chat B5330.
Why? Short history:
I used to use Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos B5512 and i love it (because of QWERTY keyboard, touchscreen and it's Android that i needed). But after few years 160MB of internal memory is not good enough for official updates (such as google play, youtube etc.). So I bought Samsung Galaxy Chat B5330 because of 2GB of internal memory (also it's better screen orientation). I bought and run it and... BOOM, there is Android 4.1.2. Dear Lord... Maybe I am crazy man (with bad English ) but I hate changes. The new version of Android is really not for me.
So my question is...
it's even possible to install Gingerbread OS on my Samsung Galaxy Chat B5330 and will it work?
If yes - please guide me how to do it.
I will be really grateful.
no one?
You will OT find anything that far back for that device if it comes with 4.1.2 stock which means there is no kernel for it for that old of a os. Sorry but your gonna be out of luck
This is not a development thread for this Great Tab... this is merely a Q&A for everyone that wants to be involved and share their experience with the Tablet. I personally concider this tab one of the best on the market at its price point and beyond. The reason I've decided to open this thread is the fact that not much info floating around for this device so everything I've done from rooting it, installing custom recovery, installing xposed framework (which took me few attempts to find the right files), partial port of the Theme Store (couldn't find one so used Theme Store apk from my S6Edge+) and tweaking build.prop file to get the best result possible wasn't exhausting but not as fast as to find any of the mentioned for other Samsung devices. So welcome to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 T715 on MM world!!!
In no way I'm a developer but consider myself an advanced user and maybe even a Themer (beginner). At first I thought of making my first TouchWiz Custom ROM for this tab based on the latest MM update but to be honest I don't have time for it but I can definitely improve your User Experience by suggesting few things since there is no custom roms for our Tab (for those that prefer TouchWiz and not CyanogenMod). I guarantee that even odexed it can be customized, tweaked and purely made great.
Talk about Screen on time, Stanby time, Xposed, Recovery, Root, Your opinion, Your thoughts, Your ideas.
Welcome!!!

There is no full Theme Store port but you can have Icons, Wallpaper, Folder image and it's bg applied.

Too bad there is no real TouchWiz development for this great Tab. if anyone hears anything, plz let me know. but at this point I'm completely satisfied with the tweaks I applied. Stanby is great, SOT is great, customized it and enjoying it very much... fast, fluid, stable!

so can you point me to a great TW MM rom for tab s2 T715 ?! following the link I don't see any. 2 roms, one abandoned, the other don't seem stable. I'm running odexed, rooted, busy box, xposed, theme store partially ported, with build.prop edited. did it all without the link you provided, just from the info gathered over the years. no issues whatsoever, great battery, fast, smooth, but thanx for the info. (and thanx for your input in development for this tab).

Hello,
today I got a new Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos).
Since today I always had a Galaxy S2 with Cyanogenmod installed. I never ever used the original Samsung ROM.
Sadly there is no Cyanogenmod for Galaxy S7.
I am looking for a ROM with these features:
- as much AOSP/Cyanogenmod like as possible, I don't need touchwiz, I'm fine with e.g. NovaLauncher (*but I heard there are battery drain issues on S7??*)
- no preinstalled apps, no google play store, a really "clean" android (of course camera, sensors etc should work)
- possibility to encrypt device, root, xprivacy
- a nice dark theme
1) Is there a ROM that suits my needs?
2) Or should I take the newest official ROM and debloat it with the tutorials here on the board.
Thank you for your suggestions! There are so many ROMs here, it is hard to choose.

1: No. There are no AOSP/CM roms for the S7 due to lack of sources for the kernel. The best you can do is to run some "custom" touchwiz rom where most samsung apps (such as dialer, contacts, clock etc) have been removed and replaced with their google counterparts, but in the end of the day, it's still a touchwiz rom.
2: Since the last phone you owned was the S2, I suggest you give stock touchwiz a real chance, a lot has changed since the S2 stock days so who knows, you might get used to it. The Android 7.0 Beta rom is quite good looking and quite fast, not stock android fast but still pretty good. Give it a shot and see how you feel about it.
