Hey guys I've had my Note 3 running on stock since last year and now I'm getting kind of bored of it. I want a ROM that either looks like stock Android (AOSP) or at least doesn't have the touchwiz look. Maybe something customizable. BUT I would like S-Pen features to work if possible (I heard they don't work on non-touchwiz ROMs). I really like pen window (the one that lets you open up apps in small windows).
Also I definitely need multi-window.
I think I am basically looking for a touchwiz ROM that looks as closest to AOSP as possible.
Any suggestions?
You could always flash a touchwiz ROM and then flash an AOSP theme to it.
I flashed this ROM and flashed this theme
Here's what it looks like:
{

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"

I would just flash foreverlocos aosp theme over your tw ROM of choice.
What do you use the pen window and multi screen for? Just curious, I'm looking for ways that I could possibly use them that I haven't thought of.

I'm a college student. Sometimes I'm too lazy to bring my laptop to class, so I use my phone. I have a textbook open in one app, and notes in another. Pen window for a calculator. Works pretty well!
Another use for multiwindow is if I want to screenshot information from two apps at once.

Hi, We all love pure android experience but sometimes vanilla android lacks some functionality.
From my experience with previous Samsung galaxy phones, Samsung got screenshot, call-reject with message since gingerbread. and these features made their way into vanilla android.
I do know that some features are already in CM or available as application.. but these should be native. IMO.
For me,
multiple clipboard (like in Samsung)
delete individual call log/messages from thread(I like samsung way too, multiple select like deleting threads)
Newline in messaging
predictive T-9 dialer

Please share your ideas that you wish to have in either stock Android or Cyanogen.

Why don't you simply get involved and code this ? CyanogenMod is not an ask and get serve OS. If you want something, do it.

Only if it would be easy.
Even though I've basic programming background( which is C language). coding is not simply just about code. but you need to know how things work. and most of android app is java.....
We'll just have to cheer him on while he goes to Google and CM to get these changes implemented

I could find most of the jellybean ROMs have the default keyboard hide soft key broken.
It would nice for devs to notice it and fix the same.
Below are list where i could find it missing.
1.AOKP
2.JBSourcery
3.Liquid
and all AOKP source based ROMs
ROMs where it works
1.Pure AOSP
2.Minco
3.Rasbean
4.BAMF Paradigm
5. CM10 and all its source based ROMS

Oh? How so? This is from BAMF Paradigm:

In case you think its the theme that fixes it:
Seems like the keyboard hide is right there and it works fine. Please revise your list.
i was going to say... works fine on bamf.. but adryn beat me to it (also what theme is that?!?)

Its an alpha version of bgill55's Synergy. He probably has much more complete copies out now, but I haven't been paying attention.
Corrected the OP,i did not check in the latest BAMF release.
Can some one let me know if it works on below ROMs?
Android Me
FNV
Xenon HD etc
Thanks
I'm going to guess that the reason the button is "broken" in AOKP is directly related to the ability to customize the arrangement, appearance, and function of the navigation buttons. Personally, I'd much rather be able to customize those than have a single button change appearance (but not function) under certain circumstances.

He does. It looks good - I highly recommend getting the latest (he still tweets the links, so you guys who don't already should follow him on Twitter).
Saw the swipe glass to unlock feature on ex-friends Infuse and I was wondering if there is any way to get it on the Samsung Galaxy S II T989? I'm pretty sure it's just an older TouchWiz feature since his phone was running Gingerbread. Just wondering if there's a tweak anywhere around her to get it.
Sorry about the noob question, coming from an HTC Evo 3D so I'm kinda new over here.
Anyone got an answer for me?

The feature you are speaking about is the Sweep2wake feature. Its available on a limited number of ROM's. If memory serves me correctly, its not avail on TW but AOKP roms might have it integrated into the ROM or Kernel. Check that out.
I know what you're talking about, but what I'm talking about is different. It's an actual lockscreen that's on some Samsung phones. When unlocking the phone, it looks like you're sliding the whole lockscreen away, another feature it includes is if you receive a text or have a missed call, it shows up as puzzle pieces.

MIUI has lockscreens which are similar.
I know, I've used a MIUI rom before. I'm just wondering what version of touchwiz that lockscreen was on or if there's anyway to get it.

try and see if you can install a GB based touchwiz rom, it MIGHT have it. But to be honest, a lockscreen is not worth having to deal with GB.

Yeah that makes sense, like I said, it was on an Infuse, so I'm pretty sure the infuse being an older phone, it would have it. But I like my jellybean tw 2.0 so I'm just gonna count it as a loss. Thank you very much.
Over the past three weeks Have been trying assortment of roms. Dont like the look and feel of TW. I like the abilities of CM because i can shut of the phantom menu, but i have been getting wakelocks and LOS and the rotation is slow or doesnt even work. especially after hanging up calls.
I would just like a recomendation for a stable ROM with no LOS and customizable. Battery i know depends on the phone so i wont even ask.
Or even fixes for those problems. I am currently on CM 10.1rc2 build date 9/18
Have you tried some of the themed TouchWiz ROMs? That's where you're gonna get stability... Here's my latest if you dare to try it mwahaha (mad scientist laugh)-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320041.. I've got a 4.3 AOSP version on there too but I wouldn't recommend that for stability.

Pretty much, check out the huge features list in Post #1
Looks very nice. the launcher seems very comparable to apex launcher. love to gesture to get to things. ill add some high contrast icons, because i work outside and need to see. Thank you. will report back after i give it a whirl. in case somebody else has the same question.
Really loving rom. Have question about unlock screen. I changed it to aosp but I can't find any where to change the targets..and thanks for the inverted play store. Have the app.but I always screw up installation and give up.I always search, hence only 10 posts in over 2 years
Can't change targets.
This is a stock TW 4.4.4 launcher with the flipboard shortcut replaced by the stock camera app when you swipe left of the homescreen

WTF are you talking about? The screen is not pressure sensitive.
@evil1art after messing with it a bit more it seems like after swiping the screen ten times the camera opens once or twice. Also every time i swipe the microphone on the google search widget changes animation from solid to hollow than back to solid again. Weird...anyway probably something on my end like a module im sure, but if you know of a solution please let me know as i love this idea and feature. Thanks..
