Dear All,
I have been using different roms in this forum for my galaxy note n7000 and I would like to thank all the developers and contributors for coming out with innovative ideas to make the best use of the hardware in galaxy note n7000.
I have been using many roms and finally stuck to paranoidandroid 2.+ which in my view is the best jb rom available. Recently utacka has uploaded a beta version with stylus gestures (see post #3150 on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871713&page=315) and I have been using it. I wanted to give my feadback on this but, I am a newbie at least in writing in the forum so I can write comments in the development section so, I write here.
I have used pa_n7000-2.22-17OKT2012-035657-beta-Utacka.zip and I have configured the spen as follows..
1. spen double tap : open floatnote (just like smemo in touchwiz)
2. and once you note something on floatnote you can share it with memo which is the best alternative to smemo on cm10
3. I also configured some other apps such as swipe left to open sketchbook, swipe right to open gallery, swipe down for weather etc..
It is still work in progress (WIP) but as it is now its quite good.
I found that not many people on that thread have responded and gave their experiences on the beta version with stylus gestures, so, I would like some people to try this rom and give their feedback in that thread so, that utacka will keep updating it.

What wow. I had no idea we can now use the s-pen with paranoid. Nice. Thanks for this man. Hope it gets better.
Hello Ravi,
Thanks so much for giving this writeup.
I was wondering if you could comment: on a screenshot I saw, it looked like enabling S pen gestures disabled use of the button in apps which allow alternate-button input, for example in Memo it triggers the erase tool. Is this the case, or did I misunderstand?
Also, is it possible to trigger the S pen to function as the back and menu buttons, as on stock ROM?

No, not yet. Back + menu doesn't work like on stock. What you can do with the features is starting apps. I didn't test out long enough as to know if it interferes with GNote or similar.
But, I would highly recommend to read thoroughly the warnings by Entropy512: it is a work in progress with an "ugly settings hack (IIRC) whose security consequences are unknown".
If you can deal with it, fair enough.

Ya as you said one should read the warnings before flashing this rom. Also, it does conflict with s-button function in memo. But, what I did was to enable all the spen gestures use them to start apps as described earlier. Take screenshot or make a note with floatnote and share it with memo. And in memo I enabled finger to be used as eraser tool, so I can take notes with stylus and erase with finger even as the fucntion of s button conflicts with spen gestures.
I also agree that its still work in progress, but sofar I have been using this rom for litle over 2 days and found it to be very stable. So, I want maximum people to use it and give feedback to utacka and the cm10 team so that they can come up with roms with imroved spen features.

I think AA1973 has answered your question. spen gestures in cm 10 are still work in progress. I just want keep people working on it, not stop its developments because of luke warm response from users. Hope Utacka will soon update the beta version.
I would drop Sammy roms if cm/paranoid roms could equal the smooth accuracy of the spens flow that Sammy roms seem to have. I am constantly going back and forth between utakas nightlys and rocket ROM, absolutely love paranoid roms, but the spen fluidity is just not as nice as on Sammy roms, I use the spen all the time. Really pleased utakas giving it a go with spen gestures.

PA ROM will be a hit once the s pen features is fully working
I read somewhere that Samsung is promising JB for the SGN... This will be good news, as we can then expect a really good, bug free PA!
EDIT:
Nevermind, I found it myself. The new version of floatnote is posted on another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803284
Hi,
this sounds pretty cool. Haven't tried the beta versions yet, but that would be one reason to do so (and to encourage Utacka to continue with this).
However, I can't find that "floatnote" app that you talk about. On the market (erm, play store) there's only "floating notes", which only allows keyboard and no hand/pen support. And then there an app called "FloatNote" ( see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812344 ), however, it doesn't offer any possibility to share the notes ...
Where did you get that app?
Thanks,
Fritz

No, use 06NOV build by utacka and you'll get the following stylus gesture features, working for me:

I have been using 2.56 for over a week now and it's a great rom. It's like having a new phone!
I am having only one issue, my keyboard, Swiftkey, stops working after reboot. The three suggestions appear as blank buttons when i type.
There seems to be some word suggestions that appear when i tap on a word. That is helpful and i think its new in this rom. But i do want my swiftkey back.
In ICS there was always a notification that allowed me to change keyboards as i typed. It is not happening now. I am not sure if this is a jelly bean thing or a paranoid thing.
I love jb and this rom. The keyboard is my only issue.

Latest PA here with latest Swiftkey installed and not a problem with that, that's strange.... but anyways in your case I would go to app manager, clean the data and uninstall the app first, then wipe cache and dalvik cache from within recovery and once rebooted re-install Swiftkey from Google Play again.
If it helped hit THANKS! Cheers!

Thanks for the Great News Man. Without the S-Pen features Galaxy Note is Worthless
I hope once this feature integrate to a Paranoidandroid Rom someone in XDA will definitely port same to CM.

Some of the key S-Pen features are indeed already implemented on Utacka's PA and so forth ported to some other hybrid ROMs with PA, but will never be exactly the same as you found them on TW framework..... for full usability of S-Pen and S-Apps I recommend you stick with the stock rom or stock based (ICS or JB leaks) ones
Are you using 2.56 or 2.57?
Reinstalling SwiftKey fixes the problem, but it comes back after reboot.
I have been rebooting my phone daily using llama. Maybe I should stop that.
I'm glad to hear it's working fine for you.

Hey guys and girls
I understand that custom launchers still allow the s-pen functions to operate.
However, will a custom rom say a cm10.1 based rom allow this as well as allow the syncing between the note and the smart watch?
If not, how could I over come this, I want a cm10.1 which allows me to use all the s=pen functions and smart watch functions properly..
Appreciate any help.
Have you ever read what Cm is all about??
You will loose all TW functions and Smartwatch will notbwork properley.

xposed module is something that only requires root to work and give u the ability to make a LOT of changes on your system, one of them is theme chooser that lets u choose a theme and apply it into your system. if you want touchwiz features + cm "kind of look", give it a try
I don't know when did the rumor started, but with cyanogenmod you can use the spen, however, you cannot use multiwindows, pen-window and all the custom features of touchwiz. But you do have pressure sensitivity in apps that support it (like sketchbook pro, paryrus, lecturenotes..), and if you buy gmd spen control you can use custom gestures in all the apps, like installing a floating memo and launching it with the pen button pressed and doing a double tap ( in an old paranoid android i used in the n7000 gestures where baked in the rom itself).
Unfortunately the smartwatch will not work unless samsung updates the thing to pair with all android phones, because right now it needs very recent versions of touchwiz.
Im so sorry about my english.:silly:

Thank you all, I think my best way of going about things is to get a good stock based ROM and use that xposed module to choose my custom theme at the same time using my spen and touchwiz features. Is this correct??:victory:

Which touchwiz features are you trying to keep exactly? Most, if not all, can be replicated on an AOSP rom.
More so the s-pen features. I am running aosp ROM on my s3 ATM fine... But obviously with the note I would be looking at using s-pen perhaps even the watch.. I don't think I can do that with aosp can I ?

GMD gesture control will allow for many many additional Stylus gestures and commands. Also, an app called ink over apps is a good replacement to the screen write.

Hi, I'd love to be able to use Halo as it is intended, also in Touchwiz. This is now possible for most devides, thanks to a brilliant module (XFloatingHalo) for Xposed. Except for Touchwiz, where there is some kind of incompatibility, seems like TouchWiz is interfering with the halo flag, thus backgroud apps are detected as halo apps, bringing them to the front when clicking on them, thus hiding the windowed halo apps
Is there no way around it, to make Halo Touchwiz compatible? Why were the same bits as in Touchwiz chosen, why not other ones?
I have a Note 2, and use the S pen and related features a lot , like the multi window feature , so it would be Great to make them compatible .

PA is developed based on AOSP source code. If you flash a PA ROM there will be no touchwiz conflicts.
If you are using Xposed to replicate halo then the issue lies with the Xposed implementation and not PA

Ok, you're probably right, just thought they would like to maintain compatibility with the original halo and all the launchers for it, like floating notifications , but there's probably a way of doing that.. Hopefully
The pa version of halo is the original halo. The xposed module uses pa source code and packages it into a mod by itself.
Not to seem mad or anything. It is just a little annoying when the PA team does not get credit for the great things they have done for this community.

But how would someone else make money off donations if everyone knew where it actually came from?
/s
My "Dream ROM" for the Note 4 would be:
*Rooted
*Knox removed
*CyanogenMod style theming
*Samsung and Sprint bloatware removed (accept for Facebook sync)
*TouchWiz apps (calendar, messaging, phone, clock, calculator, lockscreen, notification quick settings) replaced with CyanogenMod versions
I am definitely willing to test but lack the skill to compile.
Anyone want to try?
i feel like you picked the wrong phone for that..
Why? I have suggested a TouchWiz rom that just looks like AOSP. Taking the best features of this phone (embodied in TouchWiz functions) and adding the apps of AOSP.
I'm sure there will be CyanogenMod based ROMs for this device but they will lack the expanding Windows that work great on this ROM.
Sounds like you want a different launcher. Try Nova

Ordinarily, with most phones, I'd absolutely agree with you.
I flashed CyanogenMod based ROMs for every android I've ever had. In fact I was glad to get rid of TouchWiz for my Galaxies S2 and S3.
However, with this beast, I wouldn't want to give up the S-Note stylus features, floating windows, or one handed mode.
With xposed, I could duplicate the floating windows (x-halo) and split screen view.
But I wouldn't be able to duplicate a lot of the S-Note features (some maybe but not most), lots of the camera features, or one handed mode.
Further, the battery optimization on this phone is phenomenal and I have found the CM based ROMs aren't usually as good.

Agreed. With flashing cm11, there are some trade offs. For me I like the smoothness of cm11 compared to Touch Wiz.

Totally agree with you. CM11 and 12 are great roms, but I love using the s pen as well as the s health and s note apps.
As agreed I decided to open this topic to discuss new ideas for a custom ROM based on Stock 4.1.2, as none of the CyanogenMod can please many users, we will discuss ideas and features for the ROM, I will put my ideas here on the tread later.
My goal is make a fast and slim stock custom rom, with good features for everyone use most of her S3 mini, then everyone can give ideias to implement on this ROM
Ok idea 1.add Fly-On mod or something similar.
2.i think it should have xposed framework installed from the beginning. .as an option of course.
3. Quick settings like when you swipe the statusbar with two fingers ?
