Will the s-pen features like pop-up note, and being able to write a note on the back of the picture be erased when I root my note 2? Or is there a rom specifically made for the note 2?

Almost all of the s pen features will lost however samsung still release S pen SDK so we can get s pen apps via root and custom roms and also gestures will work using GSD s pen gestures in google play u can use papyrus and google keep instead of S note and so on...
Peraonally, I am not rooted in fear of my S pen and multi Window But I will in upcoming 3 years.

You will not loose anything by rooting alone, least of all the pen functionality. If you choose to flash a non Samsung based rom (e.g. Cyanogenmod or AOKP) then yes you will loose a lot of the pen functionality.
Rooting and flashing are not the same thing, don't be fooled.

You are wrong. Rooting alone wouldn't harm s pen functionality as already said. Check you facts.
this is XXXDDDAAA
Dont listen to this alvirasingh guy, i use all of the s pen features a lot on a daily basis. I'm rooted and running the samsung based alliance rom.

I noticed that the extended multi-window feature on this rom does not allow me to split the screen with any apps (out of the ones that I have) other than the native apps that were able to do it with the OTA update. I can add as many apps to the mutli-window menu, just cannot split the screen. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and if there is a known way to fix it. Much credit to scott for creating this rom though... everything else seems to work fine. It's really fast! Thanks for any and all help!

I've experienced some issues with some of the 23 Toggle Mods that are out there breaking the multiwindow functionality for the ones you manually add to the mwc app. The only way I was able successfully fix it was to do a dirty flash of the ROM again. Sometimes you may get lucky by removing and re-adding the apps but that didn't work all the time for me.

So I did the dirty flash and multi window worked. I just can't seem to get both multi window and the 23 toggles to work together.

Check out this video. It for note 4 but i think it should similiar since they both are new version of Snote. http://youtu.be/jGD1iqabbLc
I'm trying to google if it is possible to check spen status by querying file or variable. Can't find anything useful, maybe someone is aware if this is possible?
I want to setup Tasker profile, which would enable/disable nav bar (Pa rom) every time spen is attached/detached.

one of its features is to allow you to detect the S-pen status in tasker.

Thanks mate, however this is yet another app running in the background. I was rather hoping there is a way of doing everything in tasker (shell script) . Still, this is great, usefull tip, many thanks.

I read that most 4.1.2 roms support S Pen. Are there any for 4.2 or 4.3?
What else would I be losing if I were to use the roms instead of touchwhiz?
Using N7105
Thanks!
you lose all the samsung based stuff because it requires their framework. you can still use the S pen to draw though. I think there is an app for non samsung bases roms that gives it more functionality though. i believe it's called gmd s pen or something like that.
There's also Note Buddy which is very good

Try miui custom rom. It's based on touch wiz and spen works fine there

I was using tw based roms such as AR HD just for the sake of SPen, now I'm using CM with an app called "Handy Notes Pro" and it does great job with spen. And the funny thing is it doesn't even has s-lag !! Dont be scared to try different roms, just do a backup through recovery so if you dont like your new rom you can go just back to beginning. Cheers!
I like the MyScript Stylus handwriting recognition much better than the original one. GMD SPen Control works flawlessly too. For note taking I like FiiNote. For me no need for touchwiz based roms any more.
Hey Guys,
This is my first post and i am trying to bring something useful and try to be as much active as possible and as a thanks to the hard work from the
developers for their solid Custom ROMS
Ever been curious about using a Note device, but never given one a try? Well Samsung is hoping that an app in the Play Store called the Galaxy Note 3 Experience will help you discover all of its great features. You get a chance to watch some promo videos, and live interactive full-screen tutorials showing how features work on the Note 3 on whatever device you currently use.
to get it go to
Google Play and search for
"GALAXY Note 3 Experience"
thank you
Moved to Themes and Apps Forum.
Thank you.
interesting way to market the Note3. i used to have a note2, but I sold it for the S4. the size killed it for me.
I totally agree they want this phone sale to try and beet the Iphone 5c but there no much a big of a difference between the s4 and note 3 beside the big screen and some minor features that they are not worth the extra money.

The Note2 has something called popup browser where you can open an internet browser window (samsung's browser only I think) and move it anywhere on screen. I'm not aware of popup browser on the S4. The Note3 expands the popup window to work with other apps. The Note2 and 3's multitasking abilities are amazing. Multiwindow is just the tip of the ice burg. Too bad it's so big and heavy (inconvenient to carry in pant pockets). I don't think I'll get another phone that's larger than 5 inches (screen).
let us see the S5 and the new features that will come

What's the word on the S5??? I haven't heard anything about it

Someone needs to port/hack the s-pen features via aircommand so we can use it on the s4 on 4.3 we have the s-pen settings its just hidden. To activate it you will need to download Google gesture search from the play store open it up write “PEN" and it should pop up “pen settings" open that up and you'll see all the pen features.

Lol silly you're on xda. You can put popup browser on not only the s4, but even the s3 by just installing the apk.

The word is that it won't update as fast as the nexus 5 and will be much more bloated with even more gimmicky features that nobody will use... Probably loaded with Knox as well

You can't use the s pen on our phone, different screen. Our phone uses the big usless stylus.

Yes I know you can't use the s-pen on our phone. I said if someone can implement/dirty hack “aircommand" so that we can use aircommamd as the s-pen with our finger.
