[J710FN] Removing and replacing touchwiz with stock UI? - Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers

I have a question about will it be okay to remove touchwiz completely from stock rom (which is twrp flashable) and replace only the launcher with any stock launcher like Nova launcher or any other to get any performance improvements, without sacrificing VoLTE and samsung's camera app (like in any other aosp roms).
If possible could any one tell me how can I replace it in the ROM zip file itself, or redirect me to any thread for it.
PS: I have fair knowledge on rooting, installing custom ROMs etc. or using an android kitchen.

You can use substratum to change the icons on the UI. Then download and install nova or any other launcher you want. As far as removing the stock UI, not gonna happen bro unless you're an awesome hard coder and have hours to chase logcats.

You cant just remove touchwiz.
Its the operating system.
The most you could do is install a theme.
Otherwise, install a custom rom and download the samsung apps (phone, camera, etc) from apkmirror

Its almost like the stock google experience that i really like.
Rom is prerooted like jet 2.1 .
Widget locker and no lock application preinstalled but can be removed manually.
Feature list is same as JET 2.1 so see it here
Added features
Apk zipaligned
Stock launcher added(non claro)
Removed claro bloatware
Removed other bloatware
Added no lock apk for better avoding of netlock code
Better battery performance
Currently I am waitng for permission from the owner of jet 2,1 .
Will upload the rom after that.
Working on removing claro boot animation and if possible you will get a better animation on your device if permission takes around 24 hours.
Anyways the ROM is fully working and I am currently testing it .
Any request will also be considered and it will be added in future releases.
Good work dude, pls give a name of ur rom....
Sent from my Micromax A60 using xda premium

Yes. Will remove the default TwLauncher and add the UX 5x5 as it seems to be liked by most of the people. It will be debloated and will be pure. Switching off one core is related to kernel. It will be controlled in max_cpu file if i remember so. Ardatdat can explain more about that. And ya, JB theming can be done instead of ICS. But it will be different only in some perspective. Will take a note on it buddy.

Pdroid patch i was trying for MaZel I but left it in midway as ICS was released at that time. And Pdroid Patch wont support ICS as of now buddy. Sure - will not debloat useful apps. Even if some useful apps are removed, i will provide a seperate zip package for flashing them with the option of selecting what you want to install - Leaving it to user (Thanks to Aroma).

Also AOSP Gallery!
I think it would be best to provide multiple options in AROMA rather than deciding upon a default one. :good

Sure buddy. Even in MaZel I, there was custmizing option for installing user apps. In MaZel II, it will have customize option for apps, kernels and fonts if possible.

Yes Buddy. All the Stock ICS kernels will have eMMC erase bug switched on. Sammy wont disable it in their kernels (as far as i know with ICS kernel in Other mobiles).

Ya. In MaZel II, ardatdat kernel (which has the erase cap off) will be used as default kernel.

JellyBread for Value Pack

Hello guys,
why would you like to choose Jellybean custom roms over Gingerbread stock roms?
I think, not everyone but many SL users prefer Jellybean because of its user-friendly interface!
But there is no jellybean rom for our galaxy SL up till now without any bug, so here is the trick
If your rom is DDMF1 or DDFL2 or any other value pack rom, I suggest to install Jellybread theme made by ammar786 (so big thanks to him for all his efforts).
You don't have to worry about your stock UI, the installer will make a backup for you (/sdcard/UniversalFlasher) and you can revert back at any time!
Requirements:
For value pack roms only.
Your rom must be rooted and deodexed.
Features:
This theme will give you JellyBean’s feeling in almost every way. From notification to lockscreen, many things are modded to look like JellyBean.
The theme includes the JellyBean font, Roboto giving the UI a cool look.
Pop-up dialogs are themed to look like JellyBean giving an awesome feeling.
Also includes Nexus 4 wallpapers as a wallpaper picker.
Now includes new Gtalk with Video Call feature.
For downloads and more informations, original thread is here (thanks again to ammar786).
You may want to reodex your rom (free space and improve stability).
Hope this was helpful
Best regards

[Q] TouchWiz Themed

Have a way to theme TouchWiz interface?
Dialer, contacts, calculator and all native app`s? With AOSP ROM it is possible (theme all system, but I loss native Galaxy Functions like `Reading Mode`), but in custom rom`s based in stock rom, I dont found nothing about for this device...

You can download themes and flash it via cwm or other recovery or install 3rd party apps

Apps (solution 5.0)

1. Inspired Launcher
Helllo everyone, just wanna share this awesome app. For those on 5.0 CM rom based may some of you feels bored and hate to see that white backgrounded drawer menu app and missed trebuchet KK lookslike you can use this one
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bam.android.inspirelauncher
Fast,clean, ads, crap stuff cleaner,etc.. And its free
2. Performance app
Since 5.0 based roms don't have default built in performance control app inside.
I chose PACPerformance app pulled from latest RC3 zip which it works fine here
https://mega.co.nz/#!N18ViZQD!7X6Yjpb_E4ySTeP45RQeBmKnfeyiOU-eWqjNI7bi4H4
Push it to system app use CM filemanager (granted su access). Give it right permissions (folder + apk itself has different right).
Reboot your devices done
3. Hate that aosp keyboard works?? Flash this one awesome devs (forgot the name) xperia z2 keyboard
https://mega.co.nz/#!pk8SgZgI!tVuvEwAbdH_RzT3ZHl_TGP7WMi4qsS1a28dSpDXhty0
All credits goes to him
