Just picked up the Note II, rooted it and installed P.A.C rom on it. Loved it on the S3. What I noticed is I lost basically all function with the S pen? It's basically a really skinny finger now. Well my question is, is there a rom that supports the s pen like the stock touchwiz?
Try this.

I still prefer a TW based ROM(Cleanrom 5.0) for full functionality like the s-pen and certain games. You can download an alternate launcher like Nova to get the AOSP look if thats what you are after.
For me, Cleanrom 5.0 + Nova Launcher + Holo Locker = profit!

+1 to this. I have CleanROM 5.0 with a whole bunch of themes and mods. So it looks completely stock but with TW battery life and s-pen functionality.
CleanROM 5.0 + Nova + Widget Locker + AOSP theme.

Jedi X roms. If you hate AOKP r9ms just install GMD SPen apk and GMD Gesture Support, these two apks will get your SPen functionality back.

Apex Pro on cm10/aokp because it can be themed pretty good, trebuchet on cm9 because I think it is a great launcher, the touchwiz one I modded with scrolling wallpapers on touchwiz because there is no point in running touchwiz unless you want the full experience.

I've found Nova to be the best since it's based off of the JB launcher. You can also rotate the screen into landscape mode while in the launcher which is a huge pro.

Apex can also be rotated into landscape mode When I had the gnex I was a big Nova fan but lately Apex has been winning me over. Also, the latest betas for Apex are based off JB. It really comes down to personal preference though.
GoLauncher EX here. Try it.....you'll like it! Very smooth. Never had a problem. Tons of themes.....many free. Check out "Cubed Theme".....my current weapon of choice

I find it funny that a lot of people are using a stock based ROM with a different launcher and claim their stock based ROM is the best, when every single ROM available has virtually the same tweaks in them. lol.
started with apex pro. didn't feel as smooth so i went with nova.
I've been using ADW EX for years and everytime I try a different one I go right back to ADW.

Touch Wiz
I'm rolling with Touch Wiz, the first phone I've ever owned where the stock launcher is very nice.

I don't want to flash because stock based ROMs don't offer enough improvements and new features to spend time flashing and reinstalling everything, while risking to brick the phone. I rooted the phone mainly to install AdBlock and Titanium Backup.
I run Go Launcher and Dialer One.
A question for those who went from Go to something else- what do other launchers have that Go doesn't?
Nova launcher prime ftw.
FTL launcher is good also .

Currently running Clean Rom and loving it, but touch wiz isn't my preference. (Too Damn naggy)
Any Roms that keep the spen uses?
If not any way to flash that on a aosp Rom.
Thanks in advance.

No. Been answered 56 times before. Those feature are dependant on TW framework and do not work with AOSP roms. No way to get them to work. Gotta stay on TW based roms.
use a different launcher if you just want the aosp look. i use nova launcher with jellybean icon pack. still get the features of tw and the look of aosp (from the home screen).
i love some of the tw features like swipe to call or text. motion.. etc.
Check out this ROM. It is TouchWiz based and having AOSP features added in.
Spen functionality is available using "GMD SPen Control"
About the only thing missing is the SPen keyboard for handwriting recognition

Hi guys i wanted to ask how to get galaxy nexus home screen/ / theme on galaxy note 2 or tell me any themes so i can switch to it without using a launcher...!!!
Use a cm or aosp based custom rom .
Sent from my Note II
Yep I would recommend the Apex launcher as the least intrusive and probably the best for changing themes and is the easiest on the battery as well. I had tried using SPB 3D but it is a battery hog so I don't recommend using it. You will find a wide variety of themes that are, very nice. Give it a shot, Apex I think you'll like it better than Nova. You will need the S Pen control app as well to keep full S Pen capabilities and add some improvements, like notification if you forget to redock the pen and walk away.

Hi everyone , I was wondering if there was already a rom available that is bare bones stripped down touchwiz ? I looked all over the development forum and couldn't find one. If a rom developer wouldn't mind make a rom like this that would be awesome and much appreciated. And if you could add phablet or tablet dpi that would be awesome too. Thank you and don't forget to leave a link for men to donate.

Well just a couple things.
You can flash a bare stock ROM and change the DPI yourself with ROM Toolbox, but the Touchwiz launcher home gets really small, you would have to use Nova or Apex to have your home screen normal sized with a tablet DPI.

Where can in find this bare stock ROM, would really like the absolute most stripped down stock ROM I could find? Yes thank you I known I can change DPI thru multiple applications and I've noticed when changing DPI in stock touchwiz ROMs that the launcher gets a lil weird , that's why I was wondering if there was a way to get the tw launcher at a different DPI that didn't make it wonky. I have nova launcher right now. But thanks for you response.

Had anybody encountered a flashable zip of a touchwiz launcher for use on 4.2.2 aosp? I've searched everywhere and it doesn't look like it's been made yet. Anybody have a link?

That's because it doesn't exist.
And why would you want it? There are not super special features of the touchwiz launcher. It's a pretty bare bones launcher. All teh features of the stock phone are built into the rom, not the launcher.

Because I like it. Same reason you want to use whatever launcher you use. I like the weather widget too, don't like any other ones as they just look like cheap imitations. I had one on the s3 but I guess nobody's made one for the s4 yet.

The widget adds ons aren't part of launcher. And those are even less likely to be ported.
What Im saying about other launchers is that TW is kind of basic so you could take a nova or apex and customize it to look just like a TW launcher.
But the widgets arent going to be available outside of touchwiz.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Yes it is possible, because I had the S4 launcher AND weather widget on my S3 running liquid smooth. It's just a matter of time before somebody makes one. I personally don't like any other launcher because they don't have that subtle smoothness that the TW launcher has no matter what you customize on them.
Also, nova and other launchers don't have the same transitions as TW.

I believe the ones you had working on gs3 should work on any 4.2.2 because it was universal no? did you try it? one of my friends have a compilation of ported apps and the one on there was made before gs3 was out. will check when i et back home. It should be in my sig though I think
