Hi do not intend to take credit for this, but I as I was searching for Touchwiz UX for the Nexus 4, I came along this post. This is the Touchwiz UX ported from the s3 and resized for the Galaxy Nexus. Knowing the risk, I flashed a zip and noticed that everything was working fine for the Nexus 4. Please understand that I am not responsible for any bricks. Thank you and Enjoy

I already tested it and it is working. My experience may be different from yours.

* I would not recommend flashing the add on 1.3.3. The add-on will theme over the stock android and is not fully functional for Nexus 4 resolution

Is there the risk of hard bricking my device?
Or is it safe to go with a nandroid backup?

Not sure

What about 1.3.1?

I did not try 1.3.1 but I am pretty sure it will theme over. The only problem with the theme is that if you slide the status bar down, the date and time are black out and the samsung theme does not look very good with the stock look. You can try it. According to the post, once you flash the add on you can revert back to stock by flashing the stock theme that will be created during the process of flashing the add on.

Why would you even want touchwiz?
I also have a GS3 and TW is a laggy, bloated piece of junk covering a sleek, efficient interface.....
Can't believe I spent almost twice the amount of my N4 on the GS3 - my N4 is my weapon of choice....the GS3 is ”pretty" according to my girlfriend.
Nuff said.....but each to his/her own.

I couldn't find the original one but I made a mirror. So here is the link : https://www.dropbox.com/s/pq4y82ec0infb3o/TW5Launcher - N7&GN.zip

Flash this and you should be fine. I would suggest running lagfix fstrim to increase fluidity and smoothness

What's lagfix fstrim?? Thanks a ton for the link BTW...

lag Fix just clears things up a bit and I've really noticed the difference after using it with touchwiz

Oh my... Poor little Nexus 4. What have they done to you... LOL Just kidding. I love the flexibility that our Nexus gives us. I'm glad for all you who like Cheeze Whiz, I mean, Touchwiz :p. Jokes aside, thanks for sharing!
