Before flashing CM10, TouchWiz had a car/driving mode that would cause any notifications to be read aloud. Does such a thing exist in CM10? If not, are there any apk's out there of the Samsung app that provides this functionality? I'd really like something I can turn on/off via NFC Task Launcher or Tasker and this doesn't seem to be possible with the apps I've found in the play store.

I am using CM10 on S3 and I don't see any car mode or driving mode.

This is only in the touchwiz framework, so you would need to use a ROM that is based on the Samsung Original or just use stock.
Yeah, I had kinda figured as much. I ended up using Tasker to get this functionality and it works just as well on TouchWiz or any other AOSP/AOKP rom, whether ICS or JB. In the end I'm happier with this solution as it's more customizable (e.g. I can disable it while there's an active phone call).

Hi, So I got an epic today and was delighted at some of the stock functionality that came with it. There are 2 things inparticular right now that i would really wanna keep after I root the phone. The semi comm manager in the notification drop down and the samsung program monitor which also has a widget.
Now for the samsung program monitor as well as other sprint services can i just .apk them up using android mate than reinstall on a new build?
also what about the 4 communication switches in the notifications bar is it possible to get that on a custom rom?
I am just loving this phone.
rooting does not mess with ur apps, it just provides root access so u can use apps that require root. We are not able to flash custom roms yet on the epic, but once that happens, then it depends if the rom that u use can support those features if they are touchwiz native.

Sorry I meant to say if I root my phone and install a custom rom like CM-6, although even once we can install custom roms i'm definitely gonna wait until 4g is supported on the custom rom. So Ill probably just have to try out a rom that has touchwiz built in, but hopefully not to prevalent.
Im not a big fan of touch wiz, but I like the wifi bluetooth controls on notification window and also built in tsk manager so I use launcher pro home replacement and can still use the tw features I like

I see, that sounds like a pretty good idea. I also just found a tutorial for getting rid of the touchwiz launcher so once the 2.2 update is out can try that as well and use the 2.2 stock
launcher.
Hi first thread sorry if its bad, im not sure if possible but im looking for a way to get cyanogenmod but i dont want to lose the features like smart stay, pop up play, sbeam, nfc, or the motions features. I use nova launcher and dont really care for touchwiz. I used cyanogenmod on my evo for years and got the galaxy s3, i want cyanogenmod back but i dont want to lose those features. Is there another rom that is basically the same but has the features? or is there a way to add the features to cyanogen through a kernel or add on? I could live without some of the features but that was partly why i got the gs3 instead of the evo lte. I would appreciate any help,app replacments, or even just a rom recommendation thats runs like cyanogen(battery life, speed, smoothness, possibly ctr animation, customization, google now) but has the gs3 features.

Hate to say it but its one or the other. There are smart stay apps in the store as well as pop up players, nfc is in CM and you'll lose all the motion features.

There's an app called Super Video that is actually more powerful than the popup player with stock.
Some of the motion tasks may be possible with an app like Tasker.
okay so i found the smart stay app and the video app and tasker, is there a way to get android beam i believe its called to run instead of sbeam?

That is in CM already

Just remember that Android Beam (at least the version for this phone) is less powerful than S-Beam. You can't send things like MP3s or photos, only links, contact cards, etc.

On a similar note, by losing the motion settings on the CM 10.1 nightly 28th June 2013 on Galaxy S3 International,
I am unable to calibrate the gyroscope etc and hence my Navigation (google) is suffering. Can that be fixed?
Also I am having issues in sending contacts via sms. My family members have old phones which only accept sms no VCF etc. No net. Its painful copying each and every contact detail into a text jumping back and forth.
If not, can you please guide me to a suggestions/complaints section for CM devs so that they may help me out?
You're in the wrong device forum, this is for Sprint only.
The Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Nothing more. Don't defeat the purpose of why it was introduced.
Is there a way to force specific apps (like YouTube) into tablet mode without making the whole os tablet mode? Using aokp and would rather not switch. Ahh other ways?
Thanks!
Paranoid Android is able to achieve it but since you prefer not to switch ROMs, no other way.
How about Ultimate Rotation Control

Thanks for the suggestion. It's not quite what I was looking for. Certain apps like the YouTube one looks completely different in a tablet.
Anybody know if the auto launch of S Note when removing the S Pen can/does work on AOSP / AOKP builds of Android? I'm assuming that it will require a patch or an app to add this functionality to an aosp build, is there something out there? Also assuming you lose this function when leaving TW. Additionally I'm not looking to use a different launcher on a 'stock' device as I want to move to PA.
...sorry ahead of time if this has been answered already, did a search and didn't find anything.

SNote is a TWiz only app. The best available substitute is Papyrus... But the Spen detach sensor currently doesn't do anything in AOSP.

Anybody have an in with the devs of Tasker or AutomateIt? ...Tasker's feature requests are closed.
Asking them to add an SPen trigger; set it to launch the Papyrus app would be perfect.
I just recently used the CyanogenMod to root my T-Mobile S4 and I just realized that I lost the navigation and S Voice features that were originally on it. Is there any good alternatives or a way to restore these features? Or even create a new ROM to switch between? I'm fairly new at this.

Can you not download Google Maps from Play Store? As for S-Voice I think it's a Touchwiz thing that also need other dependencies files to make it work. You could just try Google Now from Play Store to see if it work.

No there's no S-Voice but I think there's a voice search features. I haven't used CM ROM but I do believed S-Voice work only on TWz base ROM.
I could be wrong on that. Hopefully someone can verify.
If you're looking for a lot of the cooked-in "bloat" from samsung, you need a touchwiz based ROM as other users have suggested. You'll find a lot of those in the Android Development section of the forum. If they are touchwiz based, it'll say so in the original post. Be aware that AOSP and google play editions of kit kat are not going to have the Samsung apps like S Voice. Some developers strip out all of the TW apps for a cleaner experience and have a separate zip for all of those removed apps to flash if you want to add them back in. As to whether or not you can flash those apps and have them work appropriately in CM, you'll have to ask someone else. If you're really wanting those apps and aren't dedicated to CM, consider just switching ROMs - you may be happier with a different one. Don't be afraid to flash different ROMs to try out. Just make a backup with Titanium backup or a nandroid so that you'll still have all of your data.
You can download s voice if you look for s voice apk on Google.
