[Q] [RQ] Stock Jelly Bean 4.1/4.2 ROM w/ TouchWiz S-Pen, Split Screen, Sidebar, etc

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

Apex + jelly bean apex theme, get it from the market, there's nothing better.
Stock launcher is weak.

All TouchWiz JB ROMs will "look" like the GS3/Note 2.

Look at the ROMs OP [original Post or post 1 of any ROM thread] that will list how the ROM differs from stock and/or the adjustments made by the developer to the ROM and those ROMs that include S3 or Note based apps will state that. There are more and more doing it and you should be able to copy those same apps in to like ROMs [say you have a JB ROM and it has the app you want and another JB ROM you want to use does not] you could then copy the apk over and in a lot of cases it should work [it may not if the ROM is AOSP or AOKP those refer to different code bases and you may find some of the apps will like one or the other.
There are also threads in some cases if you search that offer up just the apps and state what they would work with.
As a last ditch you could download a Note or S3 ROM and open the zip [DONT FLASH IT TO YOUR DEVICE] and got in to system directory in zip go to apps and copy the apks you want from it and move them to the ROM you want to try them in. Worst comes to worst if it gives you issues use a root capable file manager and delete those apps that don't work.
OF COURSE, run appropriate backups as this really should not break your install, but on the totally off chance somehow it does it is better to be safe than sorry when just learning.

I suggest Embryo 6

I was looking at the Embryo Roms and there are two of them one says 6.3 and the other 6.1.1 i saw in the 6.3 there are some issues with call eco and other stuff, and saw in the 6.1.1 that it has some of the features giving problems cause they are experimental, wich one do you guys think i should give it a try?

I think you are referring to the flash bar as experimental and thats because multi-window has not been implemented. I use 6.1.1 and its beeen the best 4.1 Jelly bean rom so far from my experience. Or you can do what that guy above me said and have a much smoother experience.

slim bean and gt n7100

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.

Looking for a ROM

Hi all,
Not long got ago I got my Note 2 and am currently running ProBam, but I miss the Samsung handwriting recognition and S-Note apps. I know there are alternatives but they're not as tidy.
ParanoidAndroid DPI switching is also a big thing for me, I like various apps being various sizes etc.
Are there any 4.1.2 ROMs with Samsung Framework with PA mixed in?
Cheers

Well there are ROMs but they mostly use App Setting App through Xposed installer. It's the closest thing to PA. Speaking of Touchwiz based ROMs I would highly recommend Moon ROM V10.

There's no Tw rom available with PA implemented instead they have xposed app settings installed..PA is exclusively an AOSP rom..I too love PA but believe me xposed is better than PA's hybrid setting(except GUI)
If u want all TW goodies better stick with tw roms only and no there's no app for AOSP with snote similarity..snote needs tw framework
There are many alternatives to snote for aosp rom like-papyrus, handnote and many more..

That would depend on what is Sacs rom and what do you really want out of your phone. There are a number of great roms. you just have to choose the one you like,

This is the first Android phone that I have had where I actually have no desire to flash any custom ROMs. That's how great this phone is (and how not crappy Touchwiz is). I mean, Touchwiz isn't the greatest, and it is full of bloat, but it doesn't get in the way at all. Also, i've used Xposed Framework to add some of the tweaks that I normally like from some other ROMs.
So even if your favorite ROM isn't available yet for the Note 3, I would still say it's never a bad time to make the jump. It's a great phone no matter if it's ROM'd or stock.

Sacs custom ROM has many visual and software features keeps touchwiz but removes crappy apps like s health but still keeps some I use like group play and stock notification except allowing the change of colors notification icon colors but also allows me to choose between different launchers at install without meshing them all together ( I like KitKat) comes with a custom kernel but I can flash another, oh and comes with a lot of small adjustments like hotspot tweak (unlimited) and more but basically I'm looking for those 3 main things in a ROM
Touchwiz with less crap
KitKat launcher
And hotspot tweak
