[Q] Samsung apps and CM 10

Hi men,
Just a question. I wonder why the Samsung Apps (like Snotes, etc....) dosen't work in CM 10s rom.
Defintily i realy love CM 10 but the plus of our GN7100 is the Spen. So i tested all the 3rd party apps like GNote, Google agenda etc...but the Spen is not so integrated than with The others ROM
Is there any possibility to see in the future the Sapps on a CM Rom ?
Thanks by advance for your answer

I also want the apps to be in cm 10

No. Period.

Those apps needs proprietary code embedded in touchwiz framework in order to work.. So you most likely won't ever see those apps running outside touchwiz

Every cool feature you see on touchwiz are tied to touchwiz framework... Best you can do its to get a bloat free minimal custom touchwiz rom, put some launcher nova like on it.. Use the AOSP icons, and that's the closest you will be to have sort of AOSP sized and themed rom with touchwiz features

AOSP ROM and S-Pen apps

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

[Q] Would CyanogenMod 10.1 have S-Pen compatibility?

Hi Everyone,
Quick question...
I am planning to install CyanogenMod 10.1 on my Note 2 (international version)
Would Cyanogen support the S-Pen?
Would Cyanogen support S-Note (its by far the most exhaustive note taking app).
Thanks,
Mayank

CM will not support S Note as that requires touchwiz framework. As for S Pen, I guess you'd be able to use it like you normally do, but don't expect any size pen related functions that you see on touchwiz ROMs like quick command or air view

If that's the case, then what's the best way to get root, get a custom rom but still retain Samsung's improvements?

Easiest way will probably be cf auto root. Alternatively flash Cwm using odin and flash superuser zip file in recovery and you're done.
As for ROMs, I suggest you stick to stock based ROMs if you wish to retain Samsung functions. As far as I know there wasn't a aosp look Sammy rom but I may be wrong. Try the all in one index in the development threads

Actually for quick command I use GMD Spen Control. It has even more options than the one Samsung has built into touchwiz.

If you don't flash a Samsung Touchwiz Jellybean based rom you will find that most
all of those samsung jellybean apps will not install either.
Most every Samsung Touchwiz app like WatchON and all the others like Hangout,
S memo, S health, S translate, S voice, Samsung link, Voice search and others will
not work or install on any cm10/aosp/aokp roms.
Also as you most likely already know there is no wifi calling feature in any of those roms.

There's an app called Smart Remote for Galaxy S4 doesn't work either

IR sensor doesn't work yet. There is another thread for cm10.1

Hangouts is just an updated Google Talk.. it's not limited to TW only. Unless Hangout and Hangouts are two different apps.

The ir sensor didn't work on any aosp rom, it only works on touchwiz rooms

People really need to learn the difference between an AOSP ROM and TouchWiz ROMs before flashing and complaing TW apps do not work.

Actually, it's more correct to say they will not work on a non-Samsung kernel.
The IR blaster *works* in CM11, for example... But WatchOn is looking for the Samsung driver, and it's not there... Ergo, it runs (it is NOT touchwiz dependent) but it does not emit IR.

WatchON does work on CM 10.2, I've used it as a remote with that ROM--it was the only Samsung app that came with the phone that I liked. With CM11 (a 4.4 ROM) it says it's not compatible.

Just tried Samsung WatchON v7.12.1.8 (apk downloaded from the web given that Google Play Store doesn't allow me to download it) on my Samsung S4 GT-i9505 (rooted) with CM11 (cm-11-20150316-NIGHTLY-jflte) and IT IS WORKING like it was with TW 4.4

Got it.
This sounds like a rule. If that's the case why don't we ask admins to set an auto-close option for threads that old? If the thread is still open I would assume it is still allowed to reply so, next time it will be someone else replying and you'll need to tell him the same thing.
Does it sound fair to you?

Ditto.
If it's such a nono then why don't these old ass threads close.
Oh, I know, maybe it'll help someone down the line, well then why chastise for adding to the thread?
Sometimes I think xda stands for something else.

[Q] Vanilla ROM?

[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.
