So our Note 2 has been on 4.1.x for a really long time. So I've been thinking of moving over to 4.2.2 AOSP now that we still don't have a stock based version of it and it seems Ubuntu Phone Os has stalled.
So my question is, what applications do you use to get the spen features onto AOSP? And what's your experience with the different aops out there that have the same functionality?
Sorry if this has been asked before.

Hey, I'm considering getting the Note II very soon, and even if this turns out to not be possible, I'll probably still pick it up as it's a great looking device. It's between this and the Nexus 4. This phone has the edge right now. But the reason I love the Nexus 4 so much, I had the Galaxy Nexus before I broke it, is the Stock Android experience, that pure, clean, feeling. Now I know that it would be possible to flash a stock 4.1/4.2 Jelly Bean ROM onto the Note II not a problem but then my worry is that the S-Pen features and the Split Screen Features and the other major Note II selling points like the Notepad and Sidebar feature would no longer be there which kind of just makes the phone a big Nexus, which I don't see the point of really. So, if someone could point me to a forum post that shows me how to do this, or tell me how if you know yourself you'll definitely have sold the phone to me for sure.
SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE II STOCK ANDROID JELLY BEAN (4.1/4.2) ROM WITH SOME TOUCHWIZ FEATURES (S-Pen, Split-Screen, Sidebar, etc)
***** EDIT *****I was thinking, couldn't I just use Nova Launcher or something similar to get the stock Android Jelly Bean FEEL and LOOK and still have all of the TouchWiz features that I don't want to lose? If anyone can confirm this, or suggest another Launcher, comment please I'm still willing to Root if it means I can do anything to get as close to stock Jelly Bean without losing those amazing Note II features.
There is a rom based on stock with all aosp apps for the S2, and there is MIUI based on stock for the Note 2 which includes all those features, so it is possible, but not available...
I'm also waiting for something like that.

Thanks, is it still worth the Root then? To run root-only-apps? Because it seems pointless putting a Stock 4.2 ROM on the Note II if it means losing all the cool things the Note II can do with all that screen! I'll keep my eye's open for a ROM like this then!

My advise is to keep the original version by Samsung charging on a launcher like nova (as you mentioned) or even the original launcher of 4.2 jb (it was exported from nexus 4..I tried it personally and it was fast like a rocket)..
In this way you have a super stable rom with the original pure Google launcher..
..waiting maybe for a custom with those features. I think in the meantime is the best solution

Can you confirm that if I do this all of the Samsung, TouchWiz, features I listed above will still be there are functioning
Hi guys,
I saw the MIUI team have ported there ROM and kept all the Touchwiz features such as the SPEN while still adding all the MIUI customisation options by using a Touchwiz Base. I was wondering if this would be possible with CM10? Or AOKP? Well, something AOSP based. I know there are look a likes but to be honest none really are all that great in my opinion. CM10/.1 has SOOOO many awesome features. The themes chooser sor instants.
I think this would be insane. Im not a developer, but i'd be willing to do everything I can to make this possible! - If it is possible ...
So anyone up for it?
Cheers
that MIUI was based on TW ... no S features will be ever available on AOSP
I don't think it's as straightforward as the Samsung framework enables those features like split-window and Samsung-specific apps. Having said that, there are third-party options to enable some of the functionality. Note that even in default CM10.1, S-Pen itself works fine, air hover, button, and so on.

MIUI was originally based on Cyanogen mod wasn't it?

Fair enough, but it still has MIUI features? So why cant the same be done for CM10?

Cm10.1 is 4.2.1 based
Miui is 4.1.2 that too tw based.
First of all s pen functions require libraries which aren't cross compatible.
So the libraries can't be used with 4.2.1
There is no cm10 for note 2.
Only Cm10.1

There is CM10 for Note 2. Although discontinued. Probably should get your facts straight eh?
Right, so why isn't it possible to make a Cm10, touchwiz 4.1.2 based rom if its been done with MIUI?

And?
Miui is touchwiz based.
If you remove touchwiz framework you get cm. Not to mention you will add Google framework.
But without touchwiz framework snote libs won't work.
So no s note.
Cm 10 is nothing but Google framework based rom to be accurate. It doesn't means cm team didn't so much. I am saying in context to this thread.
Either Google framework or Samsung framework.
That is either no s note or s note.
Miui is samsung based.
Other than thar Samsung based rom might be themed enough to look like cm10 but it isn't aosp.
It would require super expert level modding or samsung or google level devs to do that.
Samsung devs know best how they work.
So they are probably the one who can do that.

BUT MIUI did it ... MIUI wasn't originally touchwiz based. So I cant dsee why someone couldn't do the same thing with CM.
Miui was made with touchwiz launcher for note 2.

You're just really not helping are you?
I am just telling you that is not possible...
You can check N7100 forums as well...
No such roms...
2 years I guess and not a single rom of this type....
I think that explains it.
I am not sure but maybe 4.1.2 based aosp with s note might be possible.

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 installed slim bean..but no Samsung apps are there. How do I install snote..music player. And samsungapps.
Please help me.
you can't install Samsung apps such as Snote or Splanner on an AOSP(slimbean) ROM. These apps require touchwiz framework that are only on stock based ROMs.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Aosp and aokp roms don't support Samsung apps as these apps are based on touch wiz as said in previous replies. So if these apps are imp for you so u will have to go to stock or custom stock room
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Or you can use alternative apps like GMD Spen Control, Gnote, Keep screen on...
As aosp-holic especially slim my old s2 I may say that note series are ansokute no go for non-tw rom. S pen features are noting to be missed or replaced. And without that this beast is nothing but a chubby usual phone.

[Q] Vanilla ROM
Hey guys,
Reacntly I started seeing some ROMs here, but they are all TouchWiz ones /:
Now I know that there isn't a lot of developers for this device, but i'm still wondering if anyone (maybe Cyanogenmod team) working on a Vanilla ROM.
Does anyone have any idea?
I hope so don't need all the touchwiz rubish just a nice slim rom hopefully being able to free up some more storage to save apps. Come on guys there must be someone smart enough to port vanilla
Donate to m3d0g in developing Roms thread. This way he can purchase the device and build Roms for it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't a non-Touchwiz ROM make the S Pen absolutely useless?

it's only the proprietary s-pen stuff you won't have access to. pen support is supposed to be built in to (i believe) ics and above.
pen works
there is a program that is in beta in the Play Store that is supposed to work real well. Also CM S pen may do what you are asking.
