Hi,
I need help to get Touchwiz working on our Nexus 5.
Please don't say "Why Touchwiz ? Just buy Samsung phone" or any what else that can't help us to have Touchwiz on our Nexus 5.
I don't want to port Sense yet, i want to get Touchwiz to boot before, and then Sense. So don't ask for any rom port
Porting any manufacturer ROM is harder than to port CM based rom. It's not the same thing.
For the moment we need devs/porters and we don't need tester, i don't want to soft break your Nexus 5 so i'll use mine.
I will send Touchwiz port to any dev that can help.
It's really close to boot even if we can't see bootanimation. Because logcat is almost the same as AOSP one.
But if we can't fix the surfaceflinger issue, it will never boot and honestly i do not know how...
surfaceflinger crash with all port: touchwiz/sense and even old 4.4 lg g2 rom.
I'm working on Touchwiz, because Note III LTE has the same hardware as our Nexus 5:
GPU
CPU
RIL
GPS
NFC
Audio card
Power management
And perhaps the same Wifi/Bluetooth chipset
So as you can see, Galaxy Note III (SM-N9005) is almost the same phone as our Nexus 5, and if we can boot it, almost all feature will work.
The only thing that will be hard to fix:
sdcard (perhaps), camera (perhaps) and wifi/bluetooth.
But i think i can fix these things... So the main objective is to fix surfaceflinger, and i can't do it without help, i already did all that i know.
I'm using gralloc/hwcomposer/egl and all blobs from hamerhead.
I changed the kernel bootclasspath to touchwizz bootclasspath.
You can see with files i'm using here:
https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_lge/tree/cm-11.0/hammerhead/proprietary
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_hammerhead/blob/cm-11.0/device.mk
Here you can see the logcat: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5LJgOGBjYOBNkhselc5WV9uSlE/edit?usp=sharing
The problem is not this line:
D/qdhwcomposer( 949): int qhwc::adRead(): /sys/class/graphics/fb2/ad could not be opened : No such file or directory

Because this error is also in AOSP logcat.

Even if this never happens, thanks for at least trying. It will be good to have a variety of options other than the traditional AOSP or CM based Roms.

Sounds like quite the challenge. I wouldn't advise this for 16GB models.... s5 ROM is almost 8 GB :s

Mostly due to the junk TW apps though. You can just add them later if you want. The main problem now is getting it to boot and surfaceflinger working.
This would be very interesting. I never thought it was possible

Thanks for your answers.
It's possible, i already ported lot of manufacturer ROM on my old Nexus S.
However Nexus 5 is Qualcomm based device and by the way porting is very difficult.
Even if Touwhizz ROM of Galaxy S5 is about 8Gb it's not really the problem here. Because if we can't fix surfaceflinger we will be not able to port ROM. But if someone fix this issue then we will be able to port Sense, Xperia etc...

Could the issue be here?
Code:
F/libc ( 739): Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0x00000438 (code=1), thread 739 (surfaceflinger)
surfaceflinger seems happy up until libc craps out.

Is there a way to get just the slide to call option from touchwiz ? Never liked touchwiz, but that option is useful.

Hi,
Either we like or dislike Touchwiz, or you wouldn't see Touchwiz on a non Samsung device but at least respect the "challenge" taken by the OP.
He is asking help for its port, not an advice if it's a bad or good idea or if it's "LOL" and so on.

That's akin to not criticising Frankenstein for setting out to create an undead abomination. Yes, it might be a difficult feat to accomplish, but you rapidly lose respect once you come face-to-face the true horror that has been wrought.

Hey
Is it possible that someone please could port the latest touchwiz rom to our nexus s? Before the excuse was that the galaxy s was running android 2,2 but now that it has been updated to 2,3 it could maybe be possible and in a devs interest? Thanks a lot. And before someone tells me to port it my self, i will like to say that i have tried.

We might as well just put all our energy's into the TW4.0 rom dropping with the Samsung Galaxy S Two
Now that will be worth it

you didnt have to start another thread about this. there was another thread of this.
and no one said the excuse was TW being on 2.2, the excuse is: "if you want a TouchWiz phone then get Galaxy S2."
other than that. CM7 pretty much has all the features TW has to offer with the exception of video codecs

I'm not smart enough to do it myself.. however, I am still amazed that no one has been able to work out how to convert an i9505 into a i9505G. I know the partition layout is different, and I also know that there are ported 4.3 GE roms available.. BUT all of that aside.. has Samsung won the war here?
Which leads me to a separate subject.. but.. their knox efuse.. while it hasn't been long.. it looks like they have won there as well.
In any case.. I'm more interested in the conversion to i9505G. Does anyone know more than I do about the status or possibility of ever being able to convert a i9505 to a i9505G?
Well.. This is not as easy as you may think.
Need someone who has both I9505 and I9505G. Also need special connection to I9505 like JTAG to get direct access to flash. Then using JTAG try to dump whole flash from I9505G and upload it to I9505. And then depend on success and whole result, procedure can be simplified.
But JTAG is required at experiment stage if you are not so rich who can afford to buy tens (if not hundred) I9505 while experimenting
A full conversion (think about bootloader,radio) is not possible.
Samsung secured the bootloader very agressively .

I couldn't care less about running ROMs. I unlocked the bootloader but otherwise I leave my devices stock and unrooted. I know how to root and install ROMs but once I knew how, my curiosity was satisfied.
Honestly, I have had Nexus devices my entire Android life. I decided to branch out and try a GS4 with Touchwiz. I really liked my I337, so much in fact, that I also ended up purchasing a Galaxy Note 8.0 as well. There are definitely things in Touchwiz that I'd love to see Google add to the stock user experience. I'm referring to things like air view and having separate wallpapers for the home and lock screens. Alas, though, when you've used stock Android as much as I have, it's hard to use anything else.
The only thing I truly miss about Touchwiz is the camera app. The camera was simply amazing. The other things that are important to me, namely the IR blaster and the S-View cover functionality, both work flawlessly on the I9505G.

What i dislike most in stock Android is halo theme. It's really ugly. Micro check-boxes. Ugly seek-bars. Alert dialogs are too flat and sketchy. Halo theme looks more like concept than theme for daily usage.
TouchWiz theme was odd originally in time of SGS2, but it was getting better and better. On SGS4 it's nearly perfect. May be some elements like ViewPager and title bar need to reworks somehow. But overall it's way better theme than Halo. Also, there are many useful addons in TW ROM like quick settings panel, nice looking lock screen with quick launch shortcuts on the bottom, and other small tweaks making TW ROM much more useful than naked Android. And it's easier to remove unneeded apps/services/tweaks from TW ROM than add them into naked Android.
I would think about I9505G over I9505 only as device with bigger user storage running custom TW ROM, but it looks like not much success here.
From other side, you can buy 32GB version of I9505 and don't think about 16GB-only I9505G.
But hey, there are SHV-E330 and GT-I9506 already

You mean Holo I believe. That's why I use stock Android. TW with its different colors, big buttons that are not even separated from others and mixed styles in applications is really crazy and a pain to use. For people that like to use a phone without distractions it's a plain and simple fail.
Nice to have options as we're all not the same, you keep your TW phone, I will keep my stock Android one.

Which app can replace lockscreen? None. It's impossible by android design. Only can mask some app as lockscreen which is completely different.

If you think, it's not serious, then hold on and think first. May be other person, who is talking about this, knows something you don't know.

You're considering rooting a device to freeze/remove system applications. I was talking about simply adding applications to a stock Android from Google Play. I fail to see the former being easier.

In any case what you might consider essential I might consider a waste of resources.
That was the point of my post. That's why Android is a success.
And if you don't like to read people talking about changing non-Google devices you might be better off XDA.
XDA Developers was founded for developers by developers. It is now a valuable resource for people who want to make the most of their mobile devices, from customizing the look and feel to adding new functionality.

If you are able to create custom ROM then removing unneeded apps (and even editing framework to cleanup from some useless features) is much easier than add absent functionality.
I suppose, we are on XDA, i.e. developer's forum right? If you are talking from regular user point of view who usually don't know what is "root", then it's out of scope of this board. Just buy Nexus device and then you are set.

I've told you already: there is no way to truly replace lockscreen by any other application. Lockscreen is a part of framework, not APK. I'm using android devices not the first year, and believe me, i've tried these apps long long time ago. These apps mimic lockscreen using some security holes in OS, but they are not replacing lockscreen. Actually, device remains unlocked all the time. Also there are many bugs and glitches because such apps trying to suppress original lockscreen with different kinds of success/fail.
As for modifying device: there are many ways to modify and it's not exactly by installing CM/AOSP. You can check my topics to see that i'm not just user.
XDA has been created long time before CM/AOSP and believe me there are many other good ways to modify the device. CM/AOSP have their own dedicated forums and repositories which should suit your needs better than XDA (if you want to compete in pointing directions to others).
P.S.: look into I9505G forum to see how users begging to add samsung's standard camera app which doesn't work on non-TW ROM.
Suggest them to install some app from Google play
The same can tell about video player and amount of video and audio codecs integrated into TW ROM. On TW ROM i can use nearly any music player and able to playback almost any audio and video. On GE ROM you have to find special audio player having support of some specific format, and then try to get used to its bugs without choice to switch to another player. With video player it's even worse...
Also, CM/AOSP usually don't have tight integration when it comes to Hardware 3D acceleration. Some selected devices (usually Nexus and GE devices) have good 3D support, but only some.
The truth is: Some people wanna to install CM/AOSP and then they realize they miss many useful (usually not noticeable when it presents) features. That's why custom TW ROMs are present and have a lot or users.

I never denied that TW based ROMs have value for some people, just that as well stock Android is much more attractive for others. If not we wouldn't be discussing this and you wouldn't see the kind of activity we see in this forum.
And I still disagree on the "easier" issue but I fail to see any benefit in continuing the discussion.

Why would you need to ? You have CM/TW/GE to choose from when using the i9505 partition layout. Took us a couple of hours to get KitKat after the GE got it (broodplank delivered AOSP 4.4 even earlier).
Hi guys, is any developer thinking about a GPE/Pure AOSP ROM for our Ville? I use it as 2ndary phone, and I noticed that with CM12 it usually goes lagging and closes apps itself (because of insufficient RAM, I think). I think that a pure AOSP would really be a good alternative, anyone thinks the same?

I'm not a dev BUT CM12 runs really great for me. I don't face lags and i don't face any FCs And i'm really not interested in the poor featureset of AOSP.
I'm not a developer but a big +1 for this idea from me. I really don't like the way CM is going. There is talk that it will stop supporting Google Services and its trying to become completely Google independent, replacing Google with [email protected] and all kind of rubbish like that. If there was dome alternative to CM for our aging but still fantastic phone I'm all over it.

It's not CM that wants to remove Google services, it's Cyanogen Inc. that wants to remove them from CyanogenOS. CyanogenOS and CyanogenMod are two different things (CM->Community, COS->Marketing).

Thanks for the correction on the detail. I understand this but I think you miss the bigger point.
It might be that they are completely separate and that the community can exist without the financial support of Cyanogen Corp. If so I stand corrected.
But I very much doubt it.
And this being the case the commercial arm will attach strings to their support, and those strings will involve embracing the Corp vision. Might not happen any time soon but I can't see any other scenario unless the dev community can stand alone.

So pretty much any closed source firmware will be out of the question. So the camera, any post processing software. Any Sammy apps, including apps and framework changes that assist the spen, the list goes on.
As far as the camera, does that mean the pictures will be terrible? Nah it doesnt, but certainly by comparison to stock the quality takes a hit.
Variety is good though, especially for flashaholics.

I've never understood why, if people have such erect nipples for AOSP they just don't get a Nexus to begin with instead of relying on the molding community to get stock on their phone. It used to kind of make sense because the Nexus devices didn't have the greatest specs but now that screen size and quality it up to snuff why bother with anything other than a Nexus if you want stock Android so much.

It's not so much about being all fan boy for AOSP because I am certainly not. It's about having options, trying new things out. When I got bored with TW cm12 was a flash away. But if I knew I was taking a trip and wanted definite stability and my camera quality back I would restore my tw back up.
There is a huge grey area of people between ZOMG Samsung and Nexus / AOSP all the things.
As far as depending on devs. Well that is kind of the name of the game for most things around these parts. I hardly see anyone hard leaning on a developer crank out some CM love.
This is sharing of a possible possibility that we might be capable of seeing aosp based roms. Not a call to arms of CM fanboys..

I've never understood why, if people have such erect nipples for AOSP they just don't get a Nexus to begin with instead of relying on the molding community to get stock on their phone. It used to kind of make sense because the Nexus devices didn't have the greatest specs but now that screen size and quality it up to snuff why bother with anything other than a Nexus if you want stock Android so much.

I prefer the stock experience but also appreciate hardware selection. GPD's had that right for me, just sold my nexus 6 and picked up the note 5...if cyan happens to find its way to the note it would only add to the longevity of the device and also perhaps bring in more development, IMO win win.

So pretty much any closed source firmware will be out of the question. So the camera, any post processing software. Any Sammy apps, including apps and framework changes that assist the spen, the list goes on.
As far as the camera, does that mean the pictures will be terrible? Nah it doesnt, but certainly by comparison to stock the quality takes a hit.
Variety is good though, especially for flashaholics.

I feel ya. It is good news to see that Devs are seriously working on this device. AOSP would be great for the several people that want it, but personally I came to this phone for the hardware, which includes the camera and the SPen so I'll probably stick with TW roms. Again, nice to see this device getting some love though.
Here's hoping we get some cm goodness.
I tried the to like Cyanogenmod many times on my Note 4, but the lack of proper NFC tap/pay support and the terrible camera experience always sent me screaming back to TouchWiz. TouchWiz wasn't too bad on the Note 4 and on the Note5 it's a joy to use. Especially with the theme store. I'd give it a go again if those things were fixed.
Anyone have an idea on how to fix this issue? I somewhat managed to edit TouchWizHome_ZERO which I took off an HDC Galaxy S7 clone ROM, removing any external dependencies, but while said dependencies are apparently satisfied, I then end up with a null pointer exception upon trying to launch the app.
Here's the modded Touchwiz Home APK:

Here's the source files for the app:

And as for the original files themselves I got it off this custom ROM:

I've been trying to do the same my self,
But I think its just more then the touchwiz home apk theres also mods that have to be placed in framework.jar and systemui.apk also....if you have any luck please id like to know!

Well my goal mostly is to rid it of any dependencies by moving most if not all of them to the main app. I know some dude managed to pull that off with the Xperia launcher, turning it into a standalone app.

Hey, how did you guys go with this? I'd love to hear more, I'm working on a similar thing with the s9 launcher. The link to your files aren't working either, I'd love to take a look at it if possible?
I managed to port a Samsung clock app to work as a stand alone app on non Samsung devices years ago, I barely remember what I did to get it to work now though

I haven't actually managed to continue with this tbh, though I would still like to have some pointers on what to do.
