One of the coolest features in my opinion about the Note 5 is the fact that you can take out the S-Pen and start writing instantly. I was wondering if that feature would ever be possible to bring to the Note 4 especially not having root because I am liking the Note 5 for other reasons as well as that feature, but I think I would stick with my Note 4 if that feature would be possible to bring over. Thanks.
Agree
I would love this feature. I would switch custom roms for this feature.

I would love to see a AOSP custom ROM, but have some of the special Touchwizz features that Samsung made for the Note II, in regards to the S-Pen and stylus support. I know AOSP does include S-Pen support, but is still the basic like stock Android. Would be cool if there was a ROM made just for Note II phones with all the cool stylus features, and stuff, to really take advantage of the S-Pen and stylus.
Is there anything like that in the works ? Or was there for the Note 1 ?
No.

Suggest you give up on that fantasy and install a different launcher. That's about your best compromise.
There can never be
So, I am deciding to upgrade my s3 to either the note 2 or note 3. The issue is mainly cost; is it really worth it?
What I love about the note 3 are the s-pen features - being able to have that wee little pop up menu and apps along with it I("airview") AND the note 3 has awesome handwriting recognition.
Also love the new camera interface.
If I get the note 2, update to 4.3, will I have those?
or
Will I need to put on a custom rom?
Thx!
Please I literally begging the deck or someone that is juiced and anxious to have all of the new note pro 8.4 features on our note 8's I know we all will love it and I'm willing to donate to get it started the only thing is I really don't know who to ask because I do not know any Dev's personally... So come on guys make this one a go we can all be fit from those new features instead of going to spend another $400 on the same tablet on steroids just saying.:fingers-crossed:

As has been re iterated over and over in many posts in this forum, There is NO NOTE 8.4 PRO as of this writing.
it's likely the 8.4 tab pro you talking about.
I am so tired of people calling the new Tab a "Note". It is NOT a Note. It does NOT support S-Pen. It is just a Tab.
Yeah true... But.

Your right but the features from that tab can definitely be ported though to work with our note 8's like magazine ux...

Yeah, it seems that the tab is all peeps know about. Big difference... as for apps, it seems that there will be some apps ported as time goes. It is a bit early, but I think we'll see some by July. Though I am sure they will require 4.3 at least.
Good idea for a Port !!!
Btw, don't forget Note 8 does support ONLY Android 4.2.2 !!!
Note 2 support 4.3 at least and Great Devs from "Electronics Team" was able to make a 4.4.2 Port from Note 3 to Note 2 !!!
One more thing is about porting a Tab features to a Note !!! Basically, this should be a bit tricky, If you own a Tab 3 8.0 maybe you will be lucky.
And finally HARDWARE COMPATIBILITY, Tab 8.4 hardware are different from Note 8 ones. The screen resolution is much more bigger than the Note 8 one (2560x1600 vs 1280x720 I think) So making a port will be REALLY HARD.
But, Just wait and see !!! Since the Tab 8.4 is still NOT available here (Morocco).
One thing is certain: Magazine UX can be ported (like Samsung TouchWizz 5 and 6) to many devices.

No, Not the same thing. and though to you it's just a pen, there's a whole lot going behind the scenes, as well as UI/UX considerations bound to it.
A Port if any will have to be from a Note Family Device, and unless those (firmware updates etc) are released by Samsung chances are bleak.
I think you just like talking or are you trying to make something happen for the note 8 if not keep your dumb ass remarks to yourself
Is there anything on the s5 or the note 3 that I cannot do on my note 2(rooted and on custom ROM off course) ?
I know that the infrared remote thing and the s health things dont wprk.
The camera is not THAT good but its good enough for normal use
The battery in Note2 is better than s5.(I'm not very sure though)
And off course the stylus..too useful for me
My sister is looking to buy a new phone. Note 2 is the cheapest of these.. Should we consider note 2 then ?
Hello ,
Yeah ofcourse , Note 3 and S5 are honestly very costly . If you buy a Note 2 and root it and install BlackTox Rom or DN3 Rom then it becomes an ultimate gadget . When I bought Note 2 it was the latest flagship . But as Samsung every year releases 2 flagships , Note 2 became old . Then these revolutionary ROMs were created by our respectful devs which gave a lifeline to my note 2 and I'm very satisfied with it . If your sister doesn't hesitate in buying Note 2 , then I would definitely recommend that you should go for Note 2 :thumbup::thumbup:

I agree with what Aeyan said but one thing we should keep in mind Note II won't see the next big android release since Google will stop supporting it soon.Compared to Note 3 which will get 5.0 for sure. So if you do root your sister's phone and such the latest version she can be on will be 4.4.2 or 4.4.3.So Note 3 might be a better investment compared to Note II.

I agree..so arent the ports as good? I'm sorry I'm still a beginner
For eg: my old phone was an sk17i. I broke the screen on that one but on the dev page there's always a new 4.4 rom

The current ports are awesome but most of us have had our phones for around a year if not more.So most likely we'd upgrade to note 4 this fall.We've been happy with what the developers are offering but since it's a TW based ROM,samsung has to depend on supporting our phone and then samsung tweaks it to add their stuff and releases to us.If you would only want to flash AOSP rom on note II then I am sure AOSP/CM developers will support note II for atleast another year easily but with AOSP rom you lose the functionality of many Samsung features like S note and other Samsung related software.
note2 does not have gorilla glass AFAIK..
For software features, almost all note 2 can have.
aah thanks!! but I just cant decide if 43k for a note 3 is worth it..note 2 was 27k last yr when I bought it and its 28k now.. No fall in price
Hi guys, I am having a tough time deciding between Note 4 Developer Edition and the Pure Android Experience known as the Nexus 6. They both have their pros and cons but I am leaning towards the Note 4 if I can get a understanding of the future of Note 4 roms. Touchwiz bloat is on my hit list and the main reason why I cannot currently pull the trigger on the Note 4. I have had a Gnex since it was released and am sooo ready to move on but I loves me some pure Android and touchwiz is about as far off of pure android as they come.
So, do roms of the Note 4's future offer a pure Android experience with some of better features of the stylus and touchwiz thrown in? Or once you go touchwiz you are stuck with it?
If you guys are to tell me that soon, a awesome, mostly pure Lolipop rom will grace the Note 4 I can and will cancel my Nexus 6 Pre-Order so help me understand the future of the Note 4!
Thanks!

I was having this same internal debate a few days ago. I own the note 3 and now the 4. I lone the screen size on the N6 but for me to spend that much money on a phone I need more. I don't like touchwiz but I love the functionality of the note series. I can always get a pure experience like on my N7 but for my phone I want some added benefits. When the custom ROMs start to roll out you can always get a pure android ROM.
^^ So do the custom pure roms on the Note 3 offer stylus functionality? and to be clear, does a pure custom rom hold a candle to a pure Nexus experience?
