I'm finally getting my Galaxy Note 8.0, should be coming tomorrow, and I had a last minute question.
I understand that installing CM 11 removes all S-pen functionality, but that you can get a good bit back with the CM S Pen Add-on app and Note Buddy app. I was wondering how the S-pen experience is with that compared to with TouchWiz? If anyone knows. It would help me decide if I'm going to flash CM 11 or CivZ on the tablet.
Thank you.
I'm on the official Omni nightly and S Pen works great out of the box, so it might work on CM as well. Also read in another thread that it works on CM, there was no mention of additional apps to make it work

Awesome, thanks for the info! I'll have to check out Omni and see what's up, and maybe I'll switch to it!
GMD S pen control root in the play store works great and I also use papyrus as the note pad. I'm on beanstalk 4.4.2.

The google play edition is aosp but also has the tv remote app patch and also has a beats audio toggle. I'd give it a try if I were you, it's a pretty solid rom.
Vanir has it according to the thread. I haven't personally tested it but several people report it working. You can find more info about it at its thread

I am running on VanirAOSP and IR blaster works fine. I use Smart IR Remote from the Play Store which is fantastic.
I think the just released unofficial Carbon rom has it as well.

anyone working on this yet? just asking
No Google now
I had to look up on youtube to see how the dialer functioned. I have used the launcher which I do not care for, and really have not found a great desire for the google now features which seem to be deeply integrated in that dialer.. I think one more generation and I may be interested.
It looks like on the home page of xda that Kitkat is already being worked on by cyanogenmod for certain devices. You may want to check there.
Enjoy!

There are to my knowledge 3 ROMs for 4.4. CM omni and one other who's name is drawing a blank. I would advise will03s unofficial cm as that's what I'm using and seems to be the most stable

[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.

Clean rom has stock no Knox and then a clean rom 1.2 that some myself included are running. Scotts been making great rom on the note2 for awhile

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

I remember when I installed CM on my note ii and the s-pen worked!
I too would like a stock android experience, I hate touchwiz but love the s-pen.

How is that possible i thought the spen needs the touchwiz framework to work. I would love an aosp based rom with spen features

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.
Just curious as to whether the s-pen will still work with CM11 installed. I don't mind losing the features, I just want to know if it'll still work. I love the note 2, but hate the bloatware and touchwiz in general. Thanks!
Yes.
There is an app in the play store for the spen with cm11

You will need three applications - CM S Pen Add-on(ROOT), Note Buddy (S Pen Helper), and whatever application you want to use for note-taking. I was using Papyrus when I had CM11 installed.

Thanks! Ill look into these!:good:
I can't post this where I would like to because I haven't posted enough, so I guess it goes here. I'm trying to find a rom with NFC enabled, mostly for use with Google Wallet. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm currently using the latest stable build of Slimkat and while it works well, I'm looking for more.

You can ask questions in Q&A just fine. That is where all questions go.
As for NFC, any stock based TouchWiz ROM should have NFC working just fine.
Every tw ROM I've ever used has it.

I've been running Paranoid Android 4.6 Beta 1, with the new Android L recents and dynamic statusbar. It supports tap and pay as well as nfc. This is just an option if you don't like touch wiz based roms.
