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.

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?

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.

just got an s4 yesterday. always have run directly to computer to root and slam in cyanogen however i am giving tw a run this time before i dump it. here's my dilema:
i need to keep the s calendar (only works in touchwiz)
i need apps2sd
im a photographer and i use my cell for a lot of casual shooting - love the new features with drama mode among other modes. can i have them CM somehow?
so heres by question..... is there any way to incorporate any of the points in the bullets above in the new cm versions for the s4? and if not then what is a good launcher that will allow me to keep my touchwiz-ish apps and other stuff yet allow me to customize more than tw does?
thank you!!!!!
honestly tw isnt too bad. to customize use wanam xposed or 3minit framework. you'll have it the way you want. note that with cm you'll lose all the smart eye and gesture features. just stay with tw. i found it fast and customizable. and you get to keep the neat camera which is probably the most advanced on any cell phone

Well if you want app2sd you have to flash a touchwiz ROM based off the international phone since T-Mobile hasn't updated to app2sd. As far as launchers go nova or apex are both fantastic.

sview works with all these options:
for 3minit you need to get a rom that is an "authorized distributor". the dev is being very fickle about it and wants to make money by selling the app in the play store. the roms clearly advertise if they have 3minit. it's a "framework" built into the rom plus a companion app to choose settings
for wanam, you need to get 2 apps. you can use it without flashing any rom (even stock) as long as youre rooted. it is much more friendly to the community since they're free and mostly open source. so get the xposed app and then get the wanam app (from the play store). here is xposed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 it's a java hook to overload methods (functions) so that custom code is invoked before/after any programming call. neato. wanam is one of the modules that employ xposed's hook functionality. there are many more to do other things, like have sview control poweramp! i would start with wanam first and explore other modules. you can start playing with it and if you ever end up on a 3minit rom then you can use that too; both at the same time
you should try nova launcher since it's very easily reversible. you can run two launchers at the same time! install it from the play store when you press the home button it will prompt you for the default launcher. you can choose to make it default, and clear it later. or just run it once. then uninstall as any normal app. if you like it, then you just keep it as default and touchwiz will stay around without being used.
for apps2sd you need a MGA rom. most are MDL (older) because that's the last one tmobile delivered. but people have ported the MGA directly from samsung so we have a newer rom with apps2sd. all of the smart sensors and gestures will work but wifi calling does not work because it is only available on tmobile's rom (MDL ones)

probably, i havent tried it on this device. from my previous experience it's less customizable than MGA touchwiz + xposed & wanam. and it doesnt have sview, smart eye sensor, motion, hover, and gestures. im actually not sure why people are using cm/beanstalk/GE roms on this phone. they couldve have bought a new nexus every year and had less bugs if they wanted aosp roms.
My phone (running stock, rooted 4.1.2 at the moment) is getting a little unstable, so I am going to wipe and start from scratch. I'd really like to go back to CyanogenMod-based ROMs, but AFAIK the pen support in these is awful -- S Note is no longer there, and there is nothing in the Play Store remotely as good, and all of the useful annotating tricks are missing.
If this is no longer the case, can someone let me know? I am not in the "scene" and there are so many ROMs posted in so many places that I have no idea where to start. Otherwise I think I will probably grab the rooted 4.3 ROM that dropped a couple days ago and try that on for size.
Thanks gang.
I'm running the gt-7105 cm10.2 .0 and I have been using the papyrus app in the play store. I'm pretty happy with it
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
No ROMs based of anything other then tw have the functionally that your looking for in terms of the spen. With that said, you can get some decent apps that make it less painful.
When I run cyan or any other AOSP/AOKP ROMs I install spen launcher along with notebuddy and cm spen add on. That combination will allow a pop up menu when you remove the spen that allows you to have access to your spen apps. As stated papyrus is a good one, gnote found here on xda is another, write and sketchbook, you can backup or extract sketchbook from stock ROMs and it installs fine.
I'm currently running PACROM nightlies. Is there a way to install SNOTE back on my note 2 running pacrom? From what I have read it will need touchwiz to run. Can anyone point me in the right direction, I haven't found much searching.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/app-snote-apk-t1986036
Nope.
Being in the same boat, I use Handy Note Pro. A utility that is all around superior to S-Note in every way shape and form when combined with CM-SPen Addon and Note Buddy. All are on Play.
No. You read correctly. Most Samsung apps require TW to install and function. You will have to decide between custom AOSP or touch Wiz... one or the other. I have the same dilemma as a lot of others do. Torn between TW apps/keyboard vs AOSP.

At this point there is nothing that Note 2 TouchWiz has that hasn't been ported over into an app for AOSP.
Kii keyboard has all the features of the TW keyboard and more...and is configurable how you like.
I own Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and now in 2016 its showing its age,especially when on touchwiz based custom roms. Its not their fault since with time simple apps become more CPU and resources demanding and older devices struggle to keep up.One solution is to install mods/custom roms,especially AOSP/CM based roms.
I am currently sporting Resurrection Remix -Marshmallow v5.6.8 with Agni PureCM Kernel v4.5.3 and yeh i am so much happy with my setup.
But i do miss touchwiz features esp. my S pen features and its capabilities.
So this thread is to help out all those who are running aosp/cm based roms and are looking to get some s pen functionality on their roms.
My goal here is to provide best and closest possible alternatives to touchwiz stocks apps/features. Please note that there are many other alternatives than those mentioned here.they do provide somewhat similar funtionality or maybe even more in some cases,but arent similar to stock behaviour.
so 1st thing first i am highly thankful to guys at this thread that help me get started with spen features on cm/aosp based rom. Please do check out there thread,you will find it useful. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611415
1) for s command replacement there is this paid app called spen command.it works very well,though needs some tinkering to get the best out of it. link to thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/app-app-samsung-devices-provided-stylus-t3000448
link to official website: http://www.emandt.net/Android/SPenCommand/Website/
2)for screenshot we have a couple of options:-
a) using spen command app listed above,you can long tap spen on screen to screenshot it and then annotate,crop etc it.
b) use screenshot ultimate app on play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.screenshotultimate&hl=en
Once installed open the app and let it decide best method to take screenshot.You also need to select trigger to screenshot,saving location and other settings as you see fit.once properly configured ,this app works like a charm.see this thread screenshot ultimate section to properly configure this app (text around the screenshot in post) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611415
After setting up the app,head to spen command app>side panel>settings>quick menu>scroll down to application shortcut tab>press on any blank shortcut no:>select app activities from menu>wait for list to populate>select screenshot ultimate>select viewEmptySearchButton.
3) for snote replacement ,i found squid app to be best . https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.projectpapyrus&hl=en
4) for photo annotation (in stock touchwiz gallery,opening image and then option menu gives you this feature to annotate on picture),there is no perfect solution as touchwiz but Skitch by evernote (officially discontinued now) is a close match. you need to share the image to annotate via share button in gallery apps. http://www1.zippyshare.com/v/32aPQrWB/file.html.
5) for s pen attach/detach sounds,use spen command with sound in ogg format.
6) touchwiz stock camera replacement. there are many good option
a) Camera fv-5 = https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro&hl=en. NO VIDEO RECORDING CAPABILITIES
b) Lenovo Supercamera,my favorite one.There are many version . link to official thread and the version i use are here.
official link= http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2665714
version i use= http://d-h.st/ZYB
c) Snap camera v8.1.0= this one had better HDR output than lenovo supercamera,but i face storage and saving problem in external sd card. Also i dont like video recording in this app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055140
7) touchwiz music = i prefer playerpro. but there are so many i wonder if any audiophile actually use stock app
8) radio app= spirit fm 2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/spirit-fm/app-spirit2-free-source-real-fm-radio-t2951455
9) action memo= i cant find the link so i will attach the one i am using.
10) another spen command app(PAID APP) alternative is Note Buddy(FREE). it requires CM spen addon(FREE) to be installed first.
link to note buddy= https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tushar.spen_helper
link to cm spen addon= https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tushar.cmspen2
you can also use this app called spen launcher to get air command like menu= https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.spenlauncher
these are the latest to date replacements for spen and touchwiz features for aosp/cm based roms. These are in no way perfect solutions and thus i urge you to help spread the word and help me in improving this article. if you know any better solutions/replacements please post in here.
i am still missing certain s pen and touchwiz features like smart select,smart stay and some others,but well you have to compromise on something to get something better.

Spen command does tht
I dunno why this app is misses here,
Can be added
Note buddy - free (great app to launch apps on removal spen and other apps)
REQUIRES
Cm - spen add-on(enables all apps to access spen features..
For example post memo has a built in option to launch on spen removal, cannot open without spen add on.
Cm Spen add-on does this.......
Great app....

Yes I am aware of that,but spen command doesn't require these addon to install first. Also it's provides a more stock note 2/note 3 like command functionality,
Building spen gestures and screenshot annotate is another feature.
Other features include spen pointer, spen detection, clipboard manager etc.
Overall I found spen command to be much better than note buddy

Very true but it is a paid app.....
There should be at least one good free app listed
Ive been using GMD SPen Control for a while now (paid app) and seeing that SPen Command is not even in the play store (looks a bit fishy to me)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34085846 (A Mod removed the play store link there so i wont post it here, just search for it)
Also for showing the S Pen Pointer at least CM has an option to enable a Mouse Cursor for the Stylus, i quite like it

well i have provided a direct link to official website for spen command app.so its not fishy or anything. there is also an active xda thread for spen command app(Link in OP).And just because it not on play store doesnt mean its fake.
I have tried GMD Spen app.although it provides a good funtionality ,it cant compete with feature set of spen command app and given both of these are paid app,i personally prefer spen command.
for pointer ,yes cm has mouse cursor for stylus,but a small dot for spen provided in spen command app is more pleasing
yeah i started reading a bit in the xda thread and i see the reason why it isnt listed on the play store. Too bad there is no trial Version, i would like to test it more extensively than for 48 hours to see how it integrates into everyday usage and how it compares to GMD Spen Control, but the developer made it pretty clear that he has no plans for a feature reduced trial version.
Also cant say that i like the automatic change feature for SELinux, for most of us its already set to permissive but thats a choice we make before flashing a rom or if we change it ourselves later on, changing it within the app feels kind of wrong (the way it looks without this feature the app would still be on the play store)
With fishy i didnt mean fake, its just strange to publish an app solely on their own website and only accepting paypal payments, maybe fishy wasnt the right word

i understand you. 48 hours in enough to get to know the worth of app.besides you can always get refund if you dont like.
just try it.i know you will like how closely it simulate air command in touchwiz rom.
many developers dont publish their app on play store either due to one reason or other.As long as there is an active xda thread and a complementary website,its good enough to trust that app is okay.
