Samsung Widgets on custom roms - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
Back in the days of eclaire when NY captivate was stock, I really enjoyed having Samsung Widgets, like "buddies" or whatever it was called.
Fast forward to today, and I'm really liking this rom called TW-ICS which is CM9 with the touchwiz framework (I think) and the gs3 launcher port.
I'm really liking hoe the device feels, its got that stock zing that brought me to Samsung, but ics and rooted with a nice OC.
However, I still don't have the Samsung Widgets that I really enjoyed having back...a year ago (when I saw the light and came android from blackberry)
Is there any way to get this buddy Widgets like on stock roms, or even something like friend stream on htc?
Thanks.

Do you know where I could get them? Or how I could run them on non-samsung software?

Simple answer is you can't. Those Widgets need the touchwiz launcher as well as the Samsung framework files to work. Both of which CM rooms don't have. It is the same for sense

[Q] How to remove TouchWiz from Infuse 4G??

I really want to get rid of TouchWiz from my Samsung Infuse 4G, but I don't know of any ways. I know how to root, but I don't know the rest. All I know is that the Infuse has Android 2.2 "Froyo," and that it is TouchWiz 3.0. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
P.S. Yes, I am a noob.
I don't know about removing it but if you don't like it as a launch I would suggest using a different launcher
app such as Launcher Pro or tthe ADW2 Beta

My friend uses an epic 4g. I introduced him to adwlauncher ex, and he loves it! So I suggest that. So far, he had no problems, and everything is working as expected

[Q] Galaxy S2 Touchwiz rom?

Is it possible to port samsung galaxy s2 (touchwiz 4.0) to htc aria??
I have looked in many places and have found some 'themes' but I would like an actual rom.
There is a port of the entire touchwiz 4 launcher here on xda.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yeah I have seen that but:
1. Doesn't work on the aria
2. I was looking for a rom that was exactly the same as samsung galaxy s2 - like same applications, same home screen, same lock screen etc...
but thanks anyway
if the launcher doesnt work, what makes you think a rom could be made from it?
The launcher wasn't specifically made for htc aria - thats why it didn't work.
but a rom has to be made specifically for ONE phone so i was wondering if someone had made one?
You've seen the difference in the aria and sgsII specs right?

yeah i know.....so you don't think it is possible at all?

[REQ] SGS2 app ports for nexus s

Hi everyone, I have seen some of the apps from the sgs2 which I really like the look of, e.g mms. Apk and such
It would be great if some devs could port some of the apps from the sgs2 to our phones. I can get copies of the apps from the system if you need them.
Thanks happyland.adventures

Can you upload the touch wiz launcher?
I want that weather widget naw...
Sorry for the slight delay, what i think the keyboard is i have uploaded and there is also a copy of the samsung weather widget.
I think the keyboard is the axt9IME.apk, message me if i'm wrong
I have also uploaded the touchwiz launcher and despite the name it is touchwiz 4.0/4.5 not 3.0.
Do i need to upload the .odex files aswell?
Fyi. Cannot get weather widget to install on GNS on ICS 4.0.2
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Yeah they are stock from the sgs2 system. I don't think they will install on anything else. Thanks for trying them on your gns though.

[Q] Port TW4 from SGS2 to SGS

I would like to have Touchwiz 4 on my I9000, i don't like the Touchwiz 3 that is with XXjvu. I allso tried the TW 4.5. I see some custom rom have Touchwiz 4 in it.
How can I port Touchwiz 4 from SGS2 to SGS. I thought someone would have done it I searched alot but I can't find any resources about it.
Could someone lead me in the right direction
T-ron
Tw 4 will probably make your phone freeze like it did for me. I tried few versions on few Gb roms and had same issue. I would suggest you just to pick one of alternative launchers from market.
They 'll give you more options, they're lighter and they wont freeze your phone.
TouchWiz 4 will eat all your RAM, it's very RAM hungry and will redraw always. That's why people here don't bother anymore porting it...
search for hawkish premium rom and flash the latest version of the rom.. you will get your touchwiz4 without the phone freezing or slowing down!

try the hawkish rom..i have both sgs and a sgs2 and both of them run pretty much the same touchwiz..
actually it does get boring but also you get used to its simplicity that you wont like anythng else which is even a bit more complex

(REQ) Sense launcher in Aosp rom

As a long time lover of Aosp (since froyo on my old cappy) I really miss it, the problem is I've fallen in love with sense 5. That's all I really care about in sense roms though. So I was wandering if it's possible to port the sense launcher to a gpe rom. Is it possible?
Sent from my HTC One
i think that would require loads of work but im not 100 % on that
Yeah its probably possible with tons of work, but I doubt anyone would take a lot of interest in porting it since honestly it's nothing special of a launcher and it's rather stale in features. Anyways, why do you want the sense 5 launcher over something like nova launcher or action launcher pro?

Blinkfeed. It's perfect for when you're sitting around with nothing to do. I've become quite attached to it.

I guess that's understandable. I settled for Feely though since it's amazingly designed and I can customize it by websites I want easily. Still waiting for new widgets from them though.
