[Samsung Galaxy Core.] aerowave.kevin:
Hello Core users! Happy to meet you :D

"Cant wait for CyanogenMod? me too. Well... because our phone slow

at custom ROM developing, you can pretend you have it with this simple

tutorial that transform your TouchWiz into AOSP/CM!!"

Without wasting time let's begin.

Before messing with your rom better set a backup first.

I'm not responsible for any damage to your device.

This tutorial requires root access

CWM recommended.

1. Launcher

The stock jellybean launcher comes with simple yet interesting interface. You can get it straight out from here:

or you can simply download Nova Launcher, Apex, or Epic Launcher [Kitkat AOSP Style,

recommended by CoreGuy] from Google Play Store with

similar appearance and more customizations.

2. System UI and Icons

This mod will theme your system ui (phone interface, icons, etc). But before you can use it you must install Xposed Framework and Xtheme Engine [root required]

1. Xposed thread : http://xdaforums.com/xposed/framework-xposed-rom-modding-modifying-t1574401

2. Xtheme thread : http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/mod-xthemeengine-beta5-theme-engine-t2240180

Remember to install frameworks on Xposed and activate Xtheme Engine on Xposed modules tab. After successfully install both of the apps you can download the AOSP system ui mod here

for CM styled statusbar battery you can find it on the thread.

3. Lockscreen

This mod also requires Xposed, so check it under modules tab on Xposed after installing this app. This mod replace your stock Touchwiz "Swipe" lockscreen with the AOSP one. You can download it here:

4. AOSP and CyanogenMod Apps [ Optional ]

This mod is optional, if you loved Touchwiz original apps then skip this but if you want your rom to look more like AOSP then you can follow this step.

You can download ported AOSP apps ( Nexus 4 ), from here

*Tips : You can 'freeze' original Touchwiz apps with Link2SD or Titanium Backup.

5. CyanogenMod Bootanimation
