Looking for a rom that still has S-Pen functionality but on stock Android? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
been a while since I been here(from back in the days of my Galaxy Nexus). I just picked up a Note 4. I like it. I somewhat dislike the TouchWiz and hate how out of box it's using 1.8-2GB of ram on start up(assuming because of TouchWiz).
Is there any roms out there that run practically stock Android(pref. 5.0 Lollipop?) but still have the S-Pen suite enabled, including the part when I pull my S-Pen out it notices it and gives me that "Air command" menu.
One last plus would be something that gives me the ability to still use fast charge 2.0.
I looked up a couple of roms but unless I missed something they don't offer these features.
Any help? I have the Canadian N910W8 model and use it on Band 4 AWS/UMTS(3G) and LTE on various freq's so the radio would(should, preferably stay in-tacked)
Thanks!

I don't think this belongs in this section man, maybe ask it in the Q and A. It will probably get moved.
On answering your question, at this stage there is no stock aosp rom that supports spen functions. It's a little bit of a dream for most users. Although I hear that lollipop will be faster than stock, that's what I've read.

That's wrong. There is S-Pen functionality in cm12 at this moment. All you have to do is download and install one or two apps from Play Store. This apps are even free.
It is CM S-Pen en Note Buddy. I have installed them myself and S-Pen does work.

Found this the other day https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.spenlauncher&hl=en
Im running cm12 with the following
s pen launcher
cm s pen add on
note buddy
papyrus
this gives me basic s pen functions but is more than adequate for my needs

You are not entirely right either. There are free versions of this apps, but for full functionality you have to pay, not that there is anything wrong with it, just stating the fact. Also you have some s-pen functionality, but not all of it, and in my opinion CM12 s-pen functionality is somewhat less fluent and intuitive then TW one. Regardless, I still prefer CM than TW
I would also like to know how is this thread relevant to Development section

Be careful throwing around the word 'wrong'. I did say as far as I know, just trying to help someone out. There is apps you can use with cm or some other aosp roms, but it's nothing like the spen features you get from within TW. Not that I'm a big fan of it myself, I have quite a few gripes myself, *cough* performance... But for the multi window and spen features, presently if you use them all, TW is it for now.

I have the same phone as you. So far LiquidSmooth and the Unofficial CM-12.0 are the only Lollipop builds that can even use the S-Pen (Unless you know of others). You won't get the TW features of course. I'm very slowly looking into building a AOSP Lollipop rom that is custom built for our N910W8 devices. I've never built my own before so it is a lot of learning.

It *should* be doing that. Unused RAM is wasted RAM. It's caching stuff for speed so that the next time it needs to load up something, it can check if it still is in RAM already. It's not a TouchWiz thing.

You can still install it on other versions of the Note 4. Just expect some things not to work. If your running the CAN version of the Note 4 I don't recommend using LS atm due to very poor battery life on this model.

Not a problem!

Has anyone tried converting all the original s-pen apps to user apps with titanium backup, and then doing an app and data backup of them from the stock ROM, installing CM12, and then try to install them?
I'd try it myself, but I'm asking on behalf of a mate, not for myself. I think there's a possibility that it might work. It's gotta be worth a try..
I've got CM12 on my S4, and it's awesome.

Now the omega touchwiz rom are released:
imo the best rom and all features would work like in stock.
try i..maybe what you seeking?

Most custom roms are TW based except Cyanogenmod and AOKP/AOSP roms, look in the Android Development or Original Android Development threads for the custom roms.

[Q] Absence of ROM Developers

Not trying to start fires or be disrespectful is it just me or have all the ROM Devs either left for another phone or are abnormally silent. Additionally does anyone have any info on a bootloader unlock or root for NC4? Like i said not trying to start a flame war just looking for any information. I appreciate everything that our current ROM Devs have been doing A+ job per the normal, just want me some cyanogenmod.

You are correct thank you for correcting me, maybe im just looking for a different style and am gettin impatient i really wish we had a unlocked bootloader and some cyanogenmod. I have tried Nova Launcher and it works really well but the settings, notifications the little touches that Samsung does with Touchwiz are not my thing i guess.

Have you tried using some Xposed modules to remove certain things and add others? Objective ROM is about as close to AOSP as you can get, pretty much everything that isn't needed to run the phone had been removed.
But the styling is still TouchWiz so all of the notification portion and the launcher and setting.apk.

Eclipse ROM is now updated to Kit Kat which gives a very AOSP look as well.
Or you can try and source a Developer Edition that comes unlocked and flash CM11

I think either you haven't tried CM11 or you just love stock but I don't think stock can beat CM11 in performance and there may be few bugs but most of them are minor bugs.
Even dual sim is working perfectly on most of the roms.
Stock is good too but not as good as CM11 in my opinion.
Thanks to all the awesome devs for making Grand much more GRAND by providing us with so many great roms. :good:
But at least there should be a stock option for people like me..

Ok thanks. And also can you make a module to improve power saving feature on stock Jellybean?
Does anyone have a solution for led light on Grand?
Well..... Not quite
I dunno about kit kat, but in my S2 I was running CM10 I think it was and installed a couple of Sammy Apps and they ran fine, and I think there is a touchwiz nature ux i ran on it too. Maybe not a full port, god knows i've search for an allshare port and couldnt find it. So I tend to switch back n forth from CM11 to Sammy 4.2.2 tricked out by me.

AOSP Look TW ROM??

Hey all, I usually don't do this as I've seen some other people bi*****g about development on this phone and how it's stalled. I am NOT saying that at all, was just wondering if anyone is/doing/going to develop a TW (since no AOSP ) ROM that looks like AOSP? Somewhat like @nitroglycerine33's Eclipse? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351840
Or if anyone knows how to and would like to, I have some people who are very interested in having ROM(s) out there like this and can donate. Thanks

I'm going to make two assumptions: 1) you're on Verizon and 2) you don't have a developer edition phone. If that is the case you can only flash TW based ROMs made for the Retail version of the S5. Having said that there is one ROM I'm told that comes pretty close to an AOSP look and feel and that is the Alliance ROM. I have not flashed that ROM, but reading through the threads in the Android Development section there seems to be a lot of happy users of that ROM. On the other hand, if you want a very lean, debloated, fast ROM with great battery life and everything works (all essential functions) there is the Syndicate ROM which as near to the pure Android experience as possible (hard to tell it's TW based). Both these ROMs can be flashed through SafeStrap or if you have a Dev Edition S5 just flash through TWRP. Unless you have a Developer Edition S5 you're not going to be able to flash any of the available AOSP ROMs...it just isn't going to happen without an unlocked bootloader and no one has broken that "code" yet.

Lol well the first assumption should be easy as i posted in Verizon general S5. And an obvious yes for the 2nd as i know the only aosp roms are for the dev ed. Alliance rom is nice but too big and many things with stock ugly 4.4 colors

The OP was quite easy to understand. Since we don't have an unlocked bootloader I want a TW ROM that looks like aosp, hence the link to my old favorite ROM from when I had the s4 I put there as reference. He might not be getting an S5 so I just wanted to see if someone could get in touch with him and Maybe get some permissions to do that or w/e..

Lol well the first assumption should be easy as i posted in Verizon general S5. And an obvious yes for the 2nd as i know the only aosp roms are for the dev ed. Alliance rom is nice but too big and many things with stock ugly 4.4 colors
The OP was quite easy to understand. Since we don't have an unlocked bootloader I want a TW ROM that looks like aosp, hence the link to my old favorite ROM from when I had the s4 I put there as reference. He might not be getting an S5 so I just wanted to see if someone could get in touch with him and Maybe get some permissions to do that or w/e..
Sent from my S5 using your mom

Well, I've learned on this site that not everything is obvious all the time. I've seen T-Mobile and ATT users posting question to this site. Anyway, I just wanted to confirm, but I must agree, if I had read your profile a little closer I wouldn't have had to make any assumptions. My answer, however, remains the same.

I have the ROMS downloaed, but I'm curious at which ones are the most stable and/or have the better battery life.

That all depends on how you use your phone. You should try CM12 for a couple of days and see how it goes. I'd be on CM myself but I want to keep all my call logs and messages and the native call recording feature. CM usually uses one third or half of the amount of RAM that TW uses, and has better battery stats in general. But like I said it depends on how you use your phone and what apps you have etc. The only real way to know what rom is best for you is if you try it yourself :good:

I'm like you, and like to keep that kind of stuff. Which are you using?
I've been on OmegaRom since August and it has been great. I am just tired of waiting for Lollipop and wanting to try something new.
If you have the lollipop (for example from the G900W8VLU1BOB3 rom) bootloader and modem you should be able to flash any KLTE rom.
Right now I'm on WanamLite XXU1BOB7 2.4, which is a touchwiz lollipop rom, and I'm happy with it as far as speed, stability and battery life.
Usually I just backup data & cache in TWRP and dirtyflash any new rom without wiping, if it's TW to TW or AOSP to AOSP it usually works.
If not, I either decide that the new rom is worth wiping for or I reflash my old rom and restore data.
BTW official lollipop is out for your model, G900W8VLU1BOB3
