Hi, I will get my Note 2 in the next days and before I get it I'm reading a lot about how to flash ROMs, I've always had Motorola phones so Samsung flashing is a completely new world for me. I've read that if you flash an AOSP based ROM you will lose all the S-Pen apps and stuff, obviously I will test all those apps before I flash, but I really don't like the TouchWiz interface so in the near future I will change it to AOSP, is there a way to install all those S-Pen/Samsung apps in a fresh AOSP ROM?
Thanks!
No. But you can download papyrus from the play store. Its a note taking app. Its mentioned tons of times in tons of posts that spen apps will not work or be in aosp ROMs because they are touch wiz based.

Thank you! I Will try that app when I get the phone.
You can also stay on a tw rom and just use a different launcher. Then you are not stuck with the tw interface, but can still use the s pen apps

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question

Or will they still work in nova launcher? (obviously still on a Sammy rom, not aosp)
Thanks
You obviously still can use all the features with another launcher, you just have to use stock apps (video player, email, gallery, dialer ... etc)
To make use of spen features,you only need those tw frameworks.You may use spen features on any launcher provided you have those frameworks.
And as you said,it will work on Sammy based roms only.It won't work on AOSP,AOKP roms as they lack tw frameworks.....

As others have mentioned before, you can use any launcher.
But for the S-Pen functionality, you need to use the stock apps provided by Samsung.
You "might" lose out on some of the functionality, if you change the launcher. This is just my guess.

I just thought of quick command, I think it only works on TW's home screens and app drawer.
Thanks, to be honest I doubt I'll use the s pen too much anyway, just want the big screen - I find my s3 too small!
So it means no SPen apps on custom roms??? I love changing my roms. Its kind of a deal breaker for me.

It will work on TW-based custom roms but on AOSP/AOKP it will behave just like your finger, no pressure sensitivity and such.

No... There is an App called *G-Note* ( Just like the stock S-Memo app ) that comes with the CM10 PA Based Hybrid JB Rom that I run.. works great!

wait so pressure sensitivity only works with default apps? so it wont work with any drawing apps from the market?

For apps that support pressure sensitivity it will work just fine (take a look at the note 10.1 forum for some examples), but I THINK you still need to be on a TW based rom. I'm not sure though, too bad I no longer have my Note 1 to check it.
i ordinarily flash straight to pure aosp from whatever manufacturer paint job the phone comes with (sense, touchwiz, blur), but after watching the hands on video i may actually stay stock with the note 2, my only reason for switching from stock on my gs3 was ICS/big red not pushing out JB, but the s-pen functions look so good.

Hi men,
Just a question. I wonder why the Samsung Apps (like Snotes, etc....) dosen't work in CM 10s rom.
Defintily i realy love CM 10 but the plus of our GN7100 is the Spen. So i tested all the 3rd party apps like GNote, Google agenda etc...but the Spen is not so integrated than with The others ROM
Is there any possibility to see in the future the Sapps on a CM Rom ?
Thanks by advance for your answer
I also want the apps to be in cm 10

No. Period.

Those apps needs proprietary code embedded in touchwiz framework in order to work.. So you most likely won't ever see those apps running outside touchwiz

Every cool feature you see on touchwiz are tied to touchwiz framework... Best you can do its to get a bloat free minimal custom touchwiz rom, put some launcher nova like on it.. Use the AOSP icons, and that's the closest you will be to have sort of AOSP sized and themed rom with touchwiz features

The rom want most is an aokp rom that has snote and my spen features. Even Aosp, I just do not like touch wiz and the way it looks, I just want simple Android or aokp and my spen.
This would be the ultimate rom, also the tablet mode gmail!

I've tried that rom out, and most of them, the closest one is jelly beans, but you can't send pictures through texts and it had a few problems
Many of the SPen apps/features are proprietary, so odds are you won't see them in AOSP.
@ work, so can't find a link for you, but
a) you won't find an actual aosp ROM with those actual apps, they are TW only. but you might find an aosp themed TW base rom if you look. (which I'm sure you already have)
2) I think in one of the actual aosp ROMs has a list of "replacement" apps for both those...
Sent from my calculator watch.
OK, found the thread I was thinking of...
The Official CyanogenMod Thread has a post Here about replacement apps for AOSP ROMs.
Not using an AOSP variant at this point on this phone, so can'y comment re: function/bugs/whatever. (Frankly, don't hate TW at all (esp if you use an aftermarket launcher), and this phone isnt needing anything trimmed down for bloat for better function. Yet.)
Hmm...I think requests and wish lists falls under Help issues

So there is no way to back up snote and have it work on another rom?
Would it be possible to mod touchwiz and basically make it like aosp? Or combine it like pacman or something?

you should try to keep all your questions in 1 post. you'll actually get better help that way.
you are on an AOSP rom. you want TW features which are woven into the stock firmware's framework. its essentially a choice: a few TW features vs custom AOSP optimizations. both can share some similar customizations, but not everything is interchangeable.
Any of the feature on TW WILL NOT WORK ON ANYTHING BESIDES TW.....
None!
They're dependant on touchwiz and won't work on anything else.

As long as source code for TW stays unreleased its impossible to port. That's why no devs bother to try and port. Its going in blindfolded. Same with Sense and other UI overlays. So when Samsung releases source code it'll be possible.

What features exactly? There's apps like Wave Control that do similar things...
Ya, there are a lot of apps that allow TouchWiz like features. There is a MMS apk for AOSP roms that has the while in messaging put phone to ear for Direct Dial. Just search in the playstore TouchWiz or galaxy s III things like that.

Well for that particular feature, I recently discovered that Liquidsmooth (and quite possibly CM, as well as JellyBam and others) have this feature in the settings for the stock messaging application. It's the last setting, labelled as "Direct Dial", but it's pretty inconsistent with the auto-dialing. I've noticed that when I'm laying down and attempt to call it won't work because if I put the phone to my ear the screen just flips to landscape view, and stays on. When I'm up right it tends to work, however I haven't had many opportunities to test this out yet.
That would be sweet if someone got two working with aosp, they need to release the code...
I'm looking for a tablet for note-taking on PDF files in class/meetings.
I found Surface Pro is perfect for that but I'm an android guy using gmail/hangouts all the time. Someone suggested Note 10.1 but I prefer AOSP. I have several questions.
1. If I install custom ROM, can I use S-pen for regular apps with palm detection? (Note-taking on PDF is my main objective)
2. If I use stock TW ROM, can I remove Samsung Gallary app? It is not compatible with my DLNA devices.

You would have all of the TW features but you can install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2962520 which is very close to AOSP. Search that thread for S-Pen and there is a another thread for creating some of the TW features on an AOSP rom.
You can also try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793898 which is a modded TW rom. Chromecast works well with stock Roms.
