Wow. This looks fantastic. I assume since its Touchwiz based, it has all Samsung apps and if not all, at least the camera?

One more thing, I used to use this on my Galaxy Nexus LTE last year, but then I got a Droid DNA and it was no bueno for development. I'm excited to give this a try.

Also, are you going to build a completely AOSP Eclipse ROM?

Yes it still has the TW camera. There is a list of TW apps that are included underneath the features section. Not very many Samsung apps in the build.

I do have an AOSP build for the S4 on my site. The camera is broken on it at the moment though.

Eclipse was the only thing that made my Droid Charge usable for so long. Glad to see it for the S4!

Donation incoming.

Just a quick question, is air gesture and air view working on this, if so thus looks like what I've been holding out for, love the soap theming looks sick.

Not yet. I made a zip that users can flash to toggle back and forth from AOSP to TW but I have been working on making a toggle in Settings. It will come soon though! Mainly just wanted to get this out in the wild for peeps to enjoy!

Awesome looking ROM! Just wondering, is there a way to edit the number of home pages?

Not with the built in launcher. The built in launcher is pretty much a stock AOSP launcher with a few speed and memory tweaks. Nothing too flashy. For a more customized solution I would recommend using Nova Launcher.

    Sorry guys but the new TW build upload failed last night. I am going to try and get the rest of the Google Apps up to date and get something put together this weekend. I will have something up Saturday or Sunday.

    Here is something that has never been done on a Touchwiz base! AOSP status bar with customizable tiles and battery options on the fly!
