hello,
i had had a samsung note 1, before owning this htc one m8.
is it possible to put a samsung os theme into this phone?
for the life of me, i just cant get my head around to understand this os..
the phone is a nice change, but....
cheers
No you can't put a Samsung theme on the M8 obviously, files and system are way different. You can "port" or create the theme you like to the M8.
Ow and questions don't belong in the apps and themes section, there is a Q&A (Question & Answer) section made for that !
No you can't put a Samsung theme on the M8 obviously, files and system are way different.

i asked if you put a samsung theme, not the os... i think its called,, "reading between the lines", i might not have used the correct terminology, but one would have thought that another could get the idea....
if there is no such thing as a stupid question, then obviously, there should be nothing wrong in asking questions... about themes.
feel free, to re-locate my question, to the appropriate location.

Not sure how you get to the "stupid questions" part........
I read very well "theme" and NOT "os" ! And still it stands. A theme flashes files to the phone and obviously these are very different ! Theme files are adapted framework and apps files. Even themes on the M8 are not all interchangeable because of different modded framework files between different roms.
So its still a very big no
How about a little help:
There are TW launcher port out there which will get you close. You won't have the settings menu or the notification toggles from TW, but should be able to get the launcher/widgets.
This one was from the S4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699660
I've seen mention of an S5 launcher port as well.
Failing that, there are CM themes galore for any OEM skin you'd like if you happen to be running a theme-able version of CyangenMod.
Neither of these will get you to the "Samsung Touchwiz" interface, but either will get you reasonably close for the device not being a Samsung device.
Hope that helps.
There's several different launchers on the PlayStore that can make your M8 look and feel like a Samsung phone. You can also look in the "Apps & Games" section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games - I see ports there quite frequently.

It's easy! Sell your M8, and go buy yourself a Samsung phone.:laugh: You dont understand HTC Sense? :cyclops: Now that is weird. Htc Sense is very close to stock android, and very easy to use.
^that and TW is horrendous. Settings for settings inside some settings.

Haha true .
I understand how you feel. I once got used to touchwiz look and feel and it was hard for me to move on to a new framework. I now feel the same way with sense. I am so used to it now.
Anyway, one way is converting to gpe and trying cm Roms where you can have Samsung theme.

Merely stating that it is of my opinion that Touchwizz is horrendous. That it's a horrible mess thats difficult to navigate and unpleasing to the eye. I didn't realise opinions had to be repressed. Or is free speech a bad thing? Especially since I did not "attack" a individual the only people who should take offence are the designers at Samsung. If you like it then bully for you we all have different tastes.

Stating opinion is one thing but derailing a thread with your off topic opinion doesn't make sense. Op clearly asked if there is away to use Samsung theme on m8. He didn't ask for you beloved opinion if touchwiz is horrendous or not. You are not helping man just move along.

I have decided to open a Questions and Answers thread on this section of the forum. This is a good way to keep the number of new threads with questions down to a minimum, which will make new threads essentially for people that are contributing to the HTC EVO Shift 4G. This includes, but is not limited to, people that are providing the following:
- Roms & Kitchens
- Programs & Apps
- Fixes & Tweaks
- Skins & Themes
- Tips & Tricks
I would like to request the help from other members to keep the thread in order and in check. This will have the added side effect of creating an ever self updating knowledge base that will far extend the content of the Wiki. This will in turn save us from having to answer the same question a billion times...
Please refer to the Wiki first before asking any questions though! It can be located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Speedy

I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to disable Sense on the Evo Shift.
I've seen it done on the original Evo, but I heard that HTC phones with Froyo cannot use the default android launcher anymore.
is this true?

AOSP roms (which will come when there is permanent root) do indeed liberate the phone from sense
It will not get rid of sense at all, but you can install ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro to have a different/more customizeable home screen expirenece.
When using those you will not be able to use sense widgets either though.
I just bought my EVO Shift 4g. How do I figure out if I have done any updates that might have cost me not to be able to root? Also, what happens if i do Root my EVO Shift 4g? Is it similar to to the iOS Jailbreak?

Here's some good info on rooting. It's a linux term, and in a way is similar to "jailbreaking," but they're not exactly the same. If you want to root when permanent root becomes available for the Evo Shift, I'd play it safe and not update at all.
Does anyone know who is working on getting us permanent root for our phones?

It should be different. Autokiller is a min free manager, which is much different from task killers. At this point in the progress of android, a task killer will not do much, except drain the battery.
Okay I'm posting this partially for two reasons - One, I can't seem to reply to anyones thread yet cause I'm too new god damnit! And TWO, I actually have a legitimate question that I can't seem to find the answer to. Here it is -
What is the difference between a "Sensed ROM" and a "Desensed" Rom. You've obviously removed something, but what is it.... lol
It refers to taking the HTC sense features out. The HTC apps, widgets, etc.

i prefer to have a desensed rom BTU its all up to personal preference, since you new and i have no doubt that you probably havent rooted your phone your going to need to do that. I would recommend finding your appropriate forum and get further info there.

THank you Mr. Troll Sir... but as a matter of fact, I have already rooted my TB and used several different ROMS (Currently BAMF 1.6.3)
I just had a question that I wasn't quite sure of cause I'm not hip to the Lingo that's all =) It was really the "Sensed" part that I wasnt sure of. I'm very capable of figuring that the "DE" in "DESENSED" means they removed somthing... just didn't know what...
Hense the title "Stupid Question"
You need a HUG
Yeah it really just comes down to preference. I used to really like the sense ui but being that a lot of it is just social integration, which I don't really use, I prefer using an AOSP (android open source project) rom like cyanogenmod. Sense also uses a lot of system resources so when you use a rom without it you should notice better performance and battery life.

ok i have looked online and i have seen that on other Samsung android phones you can remove touchwiz by installing a "stock" rom, but to me a stock rom is the one with Touchwiz.... can someone link me to a rom thats stable and doesnt have touchwiz....im new to this phone and been using the inspire 4g but the glass shattered...i understand i will have to root phone that i know but the roms for this phone nobody seems to post pictures of what they look like.
Best rom that's stable and most themed is Sky ice cream rom by Sean. GO flash it hands down the best rom in our dev forum.

Ill give it a go i just really really despise touchwiz ui and its the reason i normally stay away from sammy phones, that and the fact samsung is extremely slow to put out new os's on their phones if they ever do...got burnt on the Behold 2 never got my update cause they never put it out.
Yap its still young phone and we still have more roms compare to vivid and holiday combine. Once ICS comes than it will be different flashing game haha

So does the Sky ICS ROM have Touchwiz removed? You state it is themed... but never removed... I just ask because I am very curious about this phone, but depise the iPhone rip-off that touchwiz brings to android.
You won't see touchwiz unless you chose that launcher and if you don't chose that launcher than you won't see touch wiz. You got option there like ICS launcher and every other things like setting, contacts, and stuff is ics themed.

exactly, you don't need to root or flash a custom rom to get rid of Touchwiz. For example, download "Gingerbread Launcher" and set as default when it prompts you. Turns your phone into a vanilla gingerbread android phone and Touchwiz is gone. I use ADW Launcher Ex and set it to "Fast" preset. Phone absolutely flies and no sign of Touchwiz anywhere. Stock everything for me.
ive been having issues with ever single rom in here. my fav the nexusmod, facebook app doesnt work it makes me use the browser, a few others camera doesnt work or gps doesnt work. or its overclocked which makes the battery die faster. i just want a damn rom thats as basic as it can be but still have everything work... and only reason i hate touchwiz launcher is i dont use the email app and from what i read you cant remove it from that launcher bar.

Really? I make it my business to never take part in flaming or making a member feel unwanted, but really? What have you contributed to the community to make such a demand? Such a request shows your ignorance towards the hard work and dedication that is put into the work that you use for FREE!
If you are not satisfied with the the work the community provides, don't use it. I speak for the entire development community when I say Restore your device to stock and STFU you ungrateful bastard.
If i offended anyone, I apologize but it's individuals like this guy that make devs feel unappreciated.

Ok, so maybe I'm a bit thik in this smartphone thingie, sorry to post on S II.
I got an i9070 (SGSAdvanced) and I would like to remove Touchwiz, since I got APEX installed. Now... from what I gather here, Touchwiz is a different, more complex animal then APEX and basically can't/shouldn't be removed? If so, does it slow down my phonw, like say... a PC with 2 OS installed(e.g.: Windows7+Ubuntu)?
I got Titanium and RomManager too, all the free versions. I'll gladly pay full versions when I'll be a bit used to them, learning atm, same case with APEX. Altough I don't know what APEX full has extra yet.
Anyway. I thankd the people that answered already, hoping for a YES you can remove, NO, you can't remove, BUT you can make it so it doesn't draw resources, and THIS is the Dumbie link for doing that.
Wtf, you know this thread is a year old? No you can't remove touch and what does tibu and rom manager have to do with it?

For clarity, you can't remove it but, you're correct that, you can find roms that don't rely on tw.

Hope you are doing well . Sorry if my question was wrong . I can't understand . Touchwiz is a launcher created by samsung for their devices .
Or is touchwiz a rom or kernal ? .I DELETED TOUCHWIZ FROM MY S DUOS . I am using nova launcher succesfully without any error .
Please describe me if my assumption about tochwiz was wrong.
Touchwiz consists of several pieces taking out the launcher is part of it but that doesn't remove touchwiz itself. Touchwiz is deeper than a launcher.

Yes yes yes there is a version for Verizon gs3 available in case you have not seen.
I would have brought along some screen shots....but I don't think Ubuntu would let me :/
Anyways
I know my opinion is irrelevant because you guys do not care and the build is currently the definition of " Not a daily driver"
However,
One can still understand the flow and mechanics of the layout.
I use my phone for everything. Quickly moving from one app to another.
In this sense, Ubuntu flows like a river in how to navigate through the apps and home pages. Everything was smooth and no lag any where.
I did find a draw back to the easy access though.
Because of all the swipes in different locations at different times and the multiple spots to pull down different sections of the notification bar, you find your self
Being as clumsy as a new born giraffe while navigating.
Also, because hard ware keys are broken. I found my self somewhere but lost. It would take me a minute to get where I needed to go only because I just didn't know how to get there haha
Coming from touch wiz and an AOSP ROM here and there... Ubuntu almost seems childish?
The layout makes me feel like an old man picking up a smart phone for the first time.
The colors and theme remind me of a day care.
Haha I know all of this is purely theme as not everyone will be happy with it.
But the idea and creativity into this is purely AMAZING.
One of the most refreshing (ROM?) I have used.
I will be coming back when it is daily qualified and might even think that day would be donation worthy
Side notes:
If you are thinking about flashing. DO it.
It was fun until I realized there is no WiFi or network.
Most Apps open but don't work
No settings?
Can't turn screen off?
Lock screen was only a picture I believe?
Did not seem to be interactive yet.
random contacts and media in there. I believe it was for the demo purposes only.
But get
Hey, after one day of release. Phantom already had it out.
Seriously put a smile on my face.

It's definitely different and original, which I like. Hard to get a real feel for it since it's basically a non-working demo at this point. Lots of swiping all over the place to do everything. But it looks pretty clean and has some cool features like the favorite apps bar and easy app switching/multitasking.
for people asking about the link, it is on rootzwiki forum.
Saw an article on this and knew it would be posted about here. Not ready to try it out myself just yet. But I do like the idea and will be watching. Unfortunate that they put out a semi-functional build with flaws such as these but it's understandable.
I am definitely excited to see this up and running.

Builds for the GS3 variants is just a developer preview, I'm guessing we won't see a solid functional build for any device until the source code drops which will probably be around the same time the Ubuntu phone is announced/released. Truly unique experience, lots of swiping and great for multi tasking which I do a lot of. Wasn't too thrilled with the dock system but I suppose it's worth getting use to. The ability to dual boot ubuntu touch/android will be the selling point for most ppl.

Builds for the GS3 variants is just a developer preview, I'm guessing we won't see a solid functional build for any device until the source code drops which will probably be around the same time the Ubuntu phone is announced/released. Truly unique experience, lots of swiping and great for multi tasking which I do a lot of. Wasn't too thrilled with the dock system but I suppose it's worth getting use to.

Yes yes yes there is a version for Verizon gs3 available in case you have not seen.
I would have brought along some screen shots....but I don't think Ubuntu would let me :/
Anyways
I know my opinion is irrelevant because you guys do not care and the build is currently the definition of " Not a daily driver"
However,
One can still understand the flow and mechanics of the layout.
I use my phone for everything. Quickly moving from one app to another.
In this sense, Ubuntu flows like a river in how to navigate through the apps and home pages. Everything was smooth and no lag any where.
I did find a draw back to the easy access though.
Because of all the swipes in different locations at different times and the multiple spots to pull down different sections of the notification bar, you find your self
Being as clumsy as a new born giraffe while navigating.
Also, because hard ware keys are broken. I found my self somewhere but lost. It would take me a minute to get where I needed to go only because I just didn't know how to get there haha
Coming from touch wiz and an AOSP ROM here and there... Ubuntu almost seems childish?
The layout makes me feel like an old man picking up a smart phone for the first time.
The colors and theme remind me of a day care.
Haha I know all of this is purely theme as not everyone will be happy with it.
But the idea and creativity into this is purely AMAZING.
One of the most refreshing (ROM?) I have used.
I will be coming back when it is daily qualified and might even think that day would be donation worthy
Side notes:
If you are thinking about flashing. DO it.
It was fun until I realized there is no WiFi or network.
Most Apps open but don't work
No settings?
Can't turn screen off?
Lock screen was only a picture I believe?
Did not seem to be interactive yet.
random contacts and media in there. I believe it was for the demo purposes only.
But get
Hey, after one day of release. Phantom already had it out.
Seriously put a smile on my face.
Let me know what you guys think.
Try not to be a **** on this forum.
If after reading this and you just absolutely hate me, PM me about it instead.

Just have moved from HTC to an S4.
Any chance of an HTC dialler, and the HTC gallery, ported so they can be used on touchwiz?
I prefer them to the TW apps...
Thanks for your present work also!

Unfortunately probably not, both HTC and touchwiz apps require there specific frameworks. They are tied to the framework so they won't run without it.

Updated the op and cleaned it up a bit, hope you like. Does anyone know of any more? Please post of any ports that you know of that exist throughout XDA and I will update the op asap. Also, if someone with an HTC device are able to post ports from those devices, I will add a section to the op with those.
thanks for the effort. really useful thread.
Well great to see you on this end. Been going to the s3 thread to actually pimp up my s4 (got it as a graduation gift).
Just as I stated in that thread, if you need any help testing anything...just let me know ^.^ I am down, thats what we have back up for.
Also slightly out of topic, but you were going to make your first rom how did that go? Was looking around to see if I can test it on my s3 (gave it to my mom as a hands me down, only a drive away lol)

Seems to be another way to patch wallet, who knows not everything work for everyone...choices are always good (if you dont have it already)

Thanks for that. Ill add that Google wallet to the op. I figured that I would kind of merge this off of that S3 thread since these will pretty much work on every phone anyway.
Ya know, i started development on a custom s3 rom for several weeks and then real life started to get in the way with my wifes medical issues and had to kind of loose interest on it for a bit. I still have everything that I have done so far and hope to start having a little more free time in the next few days to continue with it. :fingers-crossed:
Edit: And congratulations on your graduation

Just about everthing in this thread 'should' work on any single rom except for the touchwiz based apps since they require there specific framework to run. The HTC apps are the same although I havent added any yet that specifically require the HTC framework. Check the op of those threads though and anybody can post if they come across any with other dependencies that I missed. These have all only been tested and installed by me on the T999, the T-mobile galaxy S3.
