Not possible I don't believe. Too many framework mods required. Huge reconstruction needed to implement it.

I would actually like to hear from a developer on this question. I don't believe it isn't possible. Ultimately these are all Touchwiz based roms. I realize Samsung changed the framework big time to implement the multiwindow feature, but aren't we still just talking about a collection of individual files?
Frankly, the development for this phone doesn't seem up to what I had with the Fascinate. Lots of awesome devs making great roms, but the roms have all the mods cooked in. It would be nice to have mods as flashable zips. It would free people up to pick between more roms. I feel like with the Fascinate, I could just install a debloated stock rom and install every mod I wanted, and only what I wanted. With the GS3 I feel you just have to hunt for the best rom with the mods you want, even if that means taking mods you don't.
Wish list.
Flashable zip for multiwindow on TW-based Roms.
Flashable zip to implement ONLY volume skip for tracks that works with Google Music
Flashable zip to make the power button the capture button in the camera app
I could keep going, but those three things would make any rom I choose an ideal rom for me.

I agree that it would be amazing to be able to flash multi window on any. I would be running clean rom if they had that. If it is possible maybe someone will catch on and make it. I just assumed with how the devs talked about how hard difficult it was to implement that that wasn't possible. But what do I know I'm just a regular guy that loves to flash. That's cool you could basically do that with the fascinate tho! Interesting.

Of course multi-window wasn't a thing back then. But it did seem like every mod that existed for the Fascinate was available to flash via individual zip files. Maybe I'm not looking deep enough through the themes/apps section, but I find very few mods that aren't themes.
Didact74 made an AOSP lockscreen mod, but it isn't just a mod that gives you the standard Android lockscreen. It's been modded and extra functions have been put in. I remember having a vanilla AOSP lockscreen mod with the Fascinate. I also was able to get a mod that gave the volume skip for tracks function, and it worked with Google Music. I have not been able to find that for the GS3. Fortunately, that seems to have finally become a standard feauture baked into most roms. Even though with my mod-choice worldview the roms probably should offer a checkbox somewhere to disable that mod.
It just doesn't seem to be too high on people's lists here....to get these mods in standalone files. Choosing a rom becomes more about finding the rom with the right combination of mods in it, rather than the normal "differentiators", appearance, performance, battery life, stock-ness, aosp-ness.
Yes I love Cyanogen and it would be nice to have a recovery but what about all the great things from TouchWiz.
If Dan does have an unlock and does release it then yes I probably will unlock but I don't think I can part from TouchWiz. Yet...
Since I bought my wife an S4 also we use S-Beam for sharing pictures of the kids a LOT! That brings me to my next point, the camera is ridiculously good. I don't need to mention how handy the multi-window is...
Will probably run modified stock Roms. Comments?

So far the mods to TW have been quite impressive, Nottach's Framework for example and P-ROM. Still would very much like a true pure Android experience that I can play with and mod myself. Can't do that without the bootloader unlock though but I can definitely live with what we got for quite a while if I had too

This is a perfect example of not reading the threads. Do you even know what to do with the fix when you see it? will you know how to apply it? Not bashing you, but sir, I think before you even see a fix, you need to read way more, what is Cyanogen? is it some kind of recovery method? answer to your question is yes, it allows to run other modified TW roms also. This ain't no damn iPhone.

Uh, I'd listen to your own advice there, chief.
He didn't even have a question, and from the way it sounds he is plenty aware of the difference between a custom ROM and a recovery. What are you talking about?
And OP, I think I'm having the same dilemma...the mods that have come out for TW have been amazing - and honestly I don't know of any specific features on AOSP ROMs that I DON'T have right now.
And let's be real, I enjoy it when people were are like, "ooh, is that an S4?" And I respond by turning off a random TV in the area, or by scrolling through my gallery just by waving my hand. I'd miss that I think
So yeah I'll definitely unlock once available, but I'll most likely stick with stock-based ROMs too.

Your right, I was actually commenting on his TW opinion, it is a comment. And I prefer TW roms also. more stable.
Choice is always a good thing, just because you have a unlocked bootloader doesn't mean you have to get rid of tw.
For me I always like to just fix what ever I feel is wrong or missing or locked out from a stock rom.
At the end of the day people have to use what makes then happy.

I think you're on crack. LMAO. It hurts to ponder what you THOUGHT you read.
And I did forget to mention the IR blaster. But they're is finally an alternative to SmartON. Try SmartRemote made specifically for the S4 but it is $9.99. It does allow you to make custom remotes so you can place buttons from any device all onto just 1 remote. Also allows custom commands through Pronto HEX codes.

I am surprised to find I am starting to feel the same way. I've modified, configured and optimized the stock ROM quite a bit now and it is running very nicely. Looking forward to flashing a custom recovery so I can backup and restore and experiment with what's out there, but it's going to be a tough decision to run modified stock versus CM. I have also found battery life to be excellent with the Stock ROM.
Been trying out the new Samsung features for a while. To me they're nothing more than gimmicks. They're great for making a cool looking commercial, but mostly useless in real life. Air gestures? Please....I'm an adult, how often are my fingers too filthy to touch my phone? The eye tracking features worked sporadically, at best. And not at all in a dimly lit room. Can't wait to unlock this bootloader, flash a ROM, and get rid the mountain of Samsung bloat apps...not to mention AT&T's contribution to that mountain...

I jump back and forth between these two ends of the opinion spectrum in regards to TW and Samsung's (AT&T's) stock ROM. This is probably the first android phone that I could honestly be okay with never flashing a custom rom on. I will still unlock the bootloader when it becomes available. I will still flash a custom recovery (nandroid backups are a really nice thing to have, and I'm disappointed that carriers don't include this) when it becomes available as well. I *might* flash a custom rom based on the stock rom, but I think I'd rather stick to stock as much as possible, at least for some time.
As for the gimmicky features it comes with, I sort of agree, yet it's fun to show off to friends. I normally keep the gestures and eye scrolling turned off, and I keep the NFC turned off when not in use. I did buy the $9.99 remote app, and I'm surprisingly content with it. I need to offer some feedback about being able to actually drag/drop to change the order of the buttons on the other screen, but otherwise it's so much better than the WatchOn stuff that I have recently frozen using TiBu.
And on to speaking of freezing apps. With root, I'm pretty content. I can use TiBu Pro (to anyone reading this, go buy the Pro version - it's completely worth it!!) to freeze all the bloatware that I don't like. Every few days since I got my phone, I re-evaluate the list in TiBu and check into any blaotware I haven't frozen yet. "Do I need this? Have I used this? Nope! Frozen." I've done this for nearly all of the "Samsung ____" apps, including the Samsung store and all the associated apps (Samsung account, etc.). Did the same for every "AT&T ___" app that it came with - they're all garbage to me. Next on my list to evaluate and possibly freeze is all the printing services - do I really need to print from my phone? Maybe if it were my work phone...
I suppose one good reason I would want to flash a customized stock-based rom would be to free up some space. Having a 16gb version is no different than my S2 was... but I definitely had a few more GB's of room to store all the cool photos. And with larger picture files, and a faster camera, the storage is suddenly a bit more important to me.
And finally, the camera, and its associated apps/modes. I see a lot of people freezing some of the apps that allow some of the cool modes this camera can use. I'm not a professional photographer, but I love taking awesome pictures with this phone. It rival's my wife's Nikon 9300 point-and-shoot, with the exception of the Nikon's zoom lens. But as far as features and quality are concerned, it's possibly better.
This thing has been pretty smooth since day negative-one for me. Even better when we got root and the bloatware was frozen. Even snappier and better on battery once that first OTA dropped. I'm pretty impressed, and it certainly is a huge step up from my S2 running CM10.1.
TL;DR: I really like the stock rom and all the cool things it offers. The performance is great. I do like some of the gimmicky things, even if I rarely use them. With the root ability to freeze things I don't use, I could definitely see keeping this thing "stock" for this device's lifetime.
PS: It's also nice to see the "Official" status, as though I haven't violated the phone too badly...
Couldn't agree more. As you all mentioned, the security of having a custom recovery + Nandroid really opens up a lot of ground for flashing new mods and having the comfort of that fallback instead of only being able to Odin back to stock if I jack something up (which has NEVER happened or anything...lol).
@Aou I too use a Titanium Backup Pro and freeze the bloat. But I kept the Samsung Apps because it had some that you can't find on Google like the Video Editor app.
Let me remind you that the Xposed framework adds new functionality without the need to flash roms. As you can see from the screen shot I was able to mod the screen without touching the framework. Easy and reversible.

I don't unlock and root my devices to get rid of the stock interface (Touchwiz, Sense etc) i simply do it for a better rom with tweaks that makes it faster and battery life better..
and when i finally get sick of my stock interface ill flash a AOSP rom
i know some people disagree but i think the stock rom on this phone is laggy.. even after disabling S Voice and Smart stay/Air view
Wierd I couldn't add the image.

O you must be working in an extra clean environment. I know I don't. My hands get dirty often and these air gestures work for me.
Aside from that, what I am looking forward to is being able to have a pattern unlock And lock screen widgets at the same time. Unless Samsung releases an update for that.

I think TouchWiz is in need of an overhaul. It just seems way too bloated when compared to stock android and Sense. IMO it's kinda reminiscent of Sense 3.5 before it was greatly improved. I'd just like my phone to be speedy and lag free without having to mod it

the last overhaul was the galaxy s3, it wasnt so long ago....
Meh. I really like TouchWiz for what it is. When I was toying with the One before I got my S4, and I thought Sense 5 was still pretty heavily integrated, just as much as TouchWiz is on the S4. I would imagine an overhaul of both stock Android and TouchWiz will come with Key Lime Pie, whenever that is released.

+1 thats what makes it what it is...tw...runs good...and I have ran every launcher out there....
I have personally thought that although there are tons of bloats, it does its job fairly well. Pretty snappy and responsive. I have looked at sense ui and realized that touchwiz isn't too bad at all.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4
I think that on modern phones, if people are running into lag, they don't know how to use their device properly. Disable animations, don't overload it with apps you rarely use, turn off settings you rarely use until you need them. Root helps. Freeze/uninstall bloat. I have no issues at all with both my E4GT and my S4. Why? Because I know how to make the best of it.

Funny I think stock android needs an overhaul. Its too plain and lacks of features. I mean it doesnt even have a quick toggle in the dropdown or brightness control. The simplest features.
I agree with all of you, but compared to some launchers...TW works perfect everytime.....it has NEVER locked up on me, like nova and apex..
as far as an overhaul of the stock, again, at least everything works compared to aosp roms that I ran for a couple years with continuous problems one after the other....

I was fan of CyanogenMod for years now, and didn't care that bluetooth FC or something was wonky in the camera, but because of the TV remote?!**^ the first ROM I flashed was GoldenEye with no add ons, and it's my very first TW instead of AOSP.
I used to be a purist too, but TWRP is too easy, those hard button operations I used to have to do in CWM, don't miss it one bit. And this ROM has cool features as is, flashed it with a simple swipe of a slider bar. Mind numbing easy. I even ditched the original nandoid and moved it to the desktop computer to save 3.56 GB of room on my SD card. I used TWRP to make a backup of my presently pleased state of GoldenEye perfection and checked every available box, and only it's 2.47 GB. Big difference!
I flashed my 2.47 GB backup of my GoldenEye, with no add ons, and found no issues. Flawless. Everything works. No bugs. Not one instance of lag or a force close. Call log and texts messages did not go away. I checked every box when I made my backup. Unbelievable perfection in image reflection!
Last week I dropped it in the toilet with the charge port door open on it's otterbox.
When I was no longer able to charge it, I replaced the charging port myself, just to keep MDL and free from having to endure what everyone with MF3 suffers. It wasn't too hard peeling apart the S4 just to replace the charging port. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5e3r_2N15c You don't have to get this deep into it, only one connector up top instead of all five. I bought my replacement charge port from his YouTube link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...veASIN=B00DHZ2KZ8&linkCode=as2&tag=three04-20
It cost me $14.99 delivered in in two days flat. It arrived yesterday on Saturday and I was able to have the desktop recognize it and it charges like new and I am BOASTING!
Sign that petition that's floating around and get the bootloader unlocked. And say nice things about the whiz kids who are trying to find an exploit for all the MF3 borked users. Amen.

I loved Cyanogenmod for years on my S1 and S2. Next AOKP on my S2 was the ****e. Then when ShoStock came to be I tried out Touchwiz based Roms. Sammy did it right with TW this time around. Next was my S3 and TW was real nice with LoserRom and his later creations. Yes the bloat ATT adds is crappy and some of Sammy apps as well. But it is fast and smooth and everything works. Run a custom ROM without the bloat, add in what most CM has for mods to it and it is awesome. Now with my S4 I went straight to ShoStock on its very first bootup.
Did I say I hate ATT yet. Last phone I buy from them though with f'd up bootloaders.

Maybe I was a bit too harsh. TW has just been frustrating me. I expect a device with these specs to run almost flawlessly. I'm not new to rooting or android so of course I know how to speed the device up. It does get faster when I do this, but still not where it should be

Curious...if people don't like Touchwiz...why buy a Touchwiz phone? Because of proprietary drivers it is difficult to make a bug free AOSP of any kind on it. It is easier to get Touchwiz like features on a Google phone, so maybe you should look for the next one of those.

Correct, there are many more choices out there, that doesn't have tw as stock launcher.
I dunno, with a few tweaks, tw is super fast.
I actually like TW on the S4 as well. No issue so far here. Smooth and no freezes.
I don't think most people realize it's not tw that's the issue. It's the bloat at&t and Samsung put on the phone. Without that most would love tw. It works!
Is there a ROM out there that is 4.4.2 KitKat with my Samsung features? I just need the basic S-Beam and Link software. My wife keeps her phone stock while I enjoy Paranoid 4.4.2 or CM11. I love being able to sit on my couch and share video from my phone to my TV/Bluray too. Can I add it to an ASOPish ROM so my Samsung products work again easily?
Thanks!

I don't think this is possible, s-beam itself is built into the TouchWiz framework. You could probably get similar results through an nfc task manager, but I wouldn't even know what to refer you to. Every Samsung application is pretty reliant on the TouchWiz framework. Hopefully someone else has better information.
And don't apologize for bumping a thread, it's what you're supposed to do if you don't get a response. Once in every 24 hour period is perfectly fine.

I really appreciate the work! Been looking for sources to build AOSP 4.2.x or CM10.2 for like a month now, but since you've already built it...
How hard would it be to port something to this device? Been wanting to put together either Carbon or OmniRom, but again, sources are thin...
Thanks again for this build!!!

The problem is mediatek never released their kernel source. So developers of aftermarket ROMS cannot build for these devices, and we cannot port them over. There is a nice carbon clone that I may have ported. I will check my computer tomorrow and see if I still have it.

OK, new problem. MTKDroidTool says my PMT file doesn't match. I'm getting hard locks where I have to pull the battery and restart the phone. It definitely seems like an oom situation because there is nothing in the logcat from the exact moment of the hard lock on.
This is on BLU 4.2 and any other port.

It sounds like a hardware problem. If you are over-clocking your CPU that will happen. If not, it may be a CPU problem. If you are trying to go back to stock, you should have 2 scatter files. Try the other one and see if you still get the PMT error.

It did it on stock as well, hence my reason for flashing cwm and a custom.
I have underclocked it to 750 and no overclock, same result.
I have deleted a lot of the build prop tweaks and put dalvik cache back to 128/5/48/512k/2m, which really seemed to speed things up a bit, but it will still hang every once in awhile.
It stinks because there's nothing in logcat that points to a hardware error. The only thing I know is mtktool comes up with a pmt mismatch.
Someone needs to get me source on this so I can sit and debug it.

EDIT:
Finally figured it out.
Screws came loose from motherboard and were floating around inside the phone causing all kinds of weird stuff.
Now I have a decent sized paper weight with 2 batteries and the original box.

There's a possibility that I could get it to work again but I need to sit and resolder the button boards (volume/power), and find all the screws that either came loose and fell out or got lodged between the board and screen.

Surprisingly I got it back together and working, but the volume button cable was torn and I had to extend wires from the side of the phone to use to get into recovery, which seems botched.
All I get is the factory Chinese recovery, or if I let it boot, it acts as if it's doing a data wipe (android with scrolling blue line underneath)...
Did I lose cwm recovery?
