[Q] Best ROM for i717m with Spen Support - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

So i have tried a few ROMS already but i have yet to find a stable ICS or JB Rom that has full Spen Support......
Any recommendations

Only ROMs based on touch wiz have spen support. Black star vi is good. Its ICS. There are a couple of deodexed stock ics ROMs by bigfau. Ones is pure stock and the other is "better" stock. Flapjaxx has a debloated deodexed stock ROM. Uclf6. I think all of these have spen.

all roms in this section support s-pen. some more then others but still every rom supports s-pen stuff.
the only features you miss going from TW to AOSP is button features and some apps.
i include an s-memo/note replacement app with my PA release called "G-Note" but there are plenty of others floating around i just find this the best.
the only thing AOSP is really missing? the button support.
so it pretty much comes down to what you like and want on your phone, everyones choice's are different.

Sorry. I should have been more specific. Spen with button actions are tw based ROMs. I currently use Jamie's ROM now as I didn't need any of the button gestures. Its an easy trade off for me because paranoid is sick.

I tried parnoid already but it did not support the spen handwriting recongntion ( i believe this is in the samsung keyboard)

The link posted by mr1080p at this link is the samsung keyboard you are looking for I believe try it, just flash it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31486623

[Q] Stock ICS instead of TouchWiz

I seriously dislike the TouchWiz UI. It's very boring and dull, I love the way stock Android looks with its dark and light blue theme, very minimalistic and intuitive and I hate the way TouchWiz is just black grey and a mixture of other colors. I'm using NovaLuancher but it only changes the home screen, I'm looking for stock android settings menu and notification/status bar. Is there a solution to this yet? Putting stock ICS on the Galaxy S3? Or are there any launchers or skins that make the settings menu and notifications look like stock ICS?
No one? I'd also like to know.

Check themes and apps section.. If you can't find any themes, then no.. Just hang on... There will be 100 theme releases soon where all is "aosp" and every rom is AOSP themed. Cm9 and aokp will sure also find its way some day

Forgive my ignorance but I've been a iOS user since the first iPhone and I just switched to ICS because I was sick of the iPhone. What is AOSP? I know what CM9 is, what would you recommend me to install on my phone?
AOSP stands for "Android Open Soruce Poject" it is basally the barebone android OS made by Google for all to see. Many roms are based off of it, as the code is release soon after googles flagship nexus devices.
I like aosp too but dont yiu guys think it makes the phone look cheap? I find touchwiz icons classy..
I would suggest waiting a month or so after your carrier gets it to put a custom ROM on it. By then a lot of bugs well have been worked out and there will be some great tutorials available.

no, because you can customize it to your liking. there are thousands of options.
to the op download a launcher and it might imprve your experience.
I doubt CM9 or other stock ICS ROMs will have features like smart stay or s voice...if they do include them, that would be awesome!
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
CM9 for SGS3 would be custom to suit the S3.. So I'm sure it would include all the features unique only to the S3....
I think the TouchWiz 5 UI is quite nice, MUCH better than the 4.0 on my SGSII, however, I use Nova launcher because S launcher is driving me crazy
Nevertheless, AOSP is still much better, and as the SGSIII is a hugely successful and famous device, so it won't take long for the first AOSP roms to spread from the ground Just have a look at the SGSII
cheers

question in general about these Custom Roms

I notice some roms say CM-10
So the case here is these roms are usually based off the stock rom with a few twists OR if it's a CM10 rom its built from scratch up and some features may not work?
So why get CM10 roms over stock roms with a twist(King Kang,GubmentCheeze,BlackStar) because these stock influenced roms look like the rom that came with my note when I got it 4 days ago but just added a few themes and maybe changed the CPU speed or something.
I'm just trying to figure out the whole CM10 thing that you see in the title of most roms
Cm10 is cyanogenmod 10. In my opinion a much cleaner and smoother android. The other ROMs are mostly based off official ICS update. Scattered around are some more specialty versions of android like Paranoid.

Samsung JB rom without Touchwiz look

Hello every1
I have been a fan of CM roms since I can remember having an Android phone, always loved the feeling of a clean Android Software.
Too bad samsung always packs touchwiz on its software, I hate its launcher, the icons, the settings menu, notification bar... Everything on it!
The problem I ham having is that going with CM based roms nowadays implies having to leave most of the amazing features of this phone behind, like its amazing camera, CM camera works, but not 100%, keeps giving me trouble and the picture quality cant be compated to Samsung roms.
Does any1 know a Samsung rom with the 100% looks of JB Android ?
Best regards
You could always grab the apex launcher....

Just for you I will make a Stock SGS3 ROM that looks like stock Android. Will it be completely AOSP looking? No, but it will be much better for you.

That's GREAT. But is it possible to have the Jelly Bean SMS app instead of Samsung's (and same thing for Contacts app) ? The Google SMS app is much better (better looks, silent delivery reports,...), and if you can add Samsung features on it (direct call especially) you are a GOD
Looking forward to it.

Try using the Rom foxhound 1.3. I'm also a big fan of the aosp look. But I dint want to miss out the wonderful features in the latest iteration of touchwiz, after a lot of search, now in this. Just sharing my experience. Anyways roms are always individual preference!!

You can try Romow N4 ROM. It is a Sammy based ROM with NOVA launcher pre-installed, without any bloatwares, dioxidized and rooted to the likes of many. The only reason in my case where I find this particular ROM great is that there are many features included in it such as in-built call-recorder(stalker app I know) 2 camera apps(Original Sammy and a Nexus's I believe?) , no touchwheeze and bloatwares, no lag on keyboard operations(usually found in many custom jelly bean ROMS) just to name a few. I was on CM10 before but found this a tad better especially for the fact that my OEM(China made RED cables) MHL adaptor works fine with this ROM unlike the latter. So you can give this one a try, it has been my daily driver for about a few days now.

Do you mean DEODEXED ?
You know that performance-wise, deodexing a ROM is a huge step backwards, right?
I found absolutely no advantages in the ROM mentioned (Romow N4), and everything it provides can either be installed from the Play Store or uninstalled using Titanium Backup. Besides, it probably is MUCH, MUCH SLOWER than a stock, odexed ROM.
The only advantage of deodexing a ROM is to allow for theming the ROM by changing the resources some apps use (like the framework itself).

True and if you are peformance driven, then after you are done themeing it then you will odex it back.

Also true, but that's not something the regular user (which I believe is the case here) will do, or even know how to do. Therefore, my general advice for those who don't know the difference, is to simply avoid deodexed ROMs.
Just use foxhound with an theme

you can simply freeze touchwiz home and use nova or apex or any other launcher out there and still enjoy the other goodies from samsung.
Everyone talks about Apex and Nova launchers but Holo is the best of them all in my opinion it's just not as widely known as the others, check it out from the market (quite similar to Apex actually but better IMO)

[REQ]N7100 stock keyboard apk

Hello guys,
Im using CM10 experimental on my N7100, everything is good so far. Now i am looking for the new keyboard from stock ROM. This keyboard have numbers on the top oft chars. Does anyone can provide the original apk?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
Would also like to know if it is possible to install the original stock keyboard on CM. The handwriting recognition is much better, but not sure if it is self contained or needs framework from the original Samsung rom?
Does anyone know if it is possible?
Pretty sure it needs touchwiz framework ... for writing with the SPEN i'm almost certain. So it would be a big job to get it to work :/ Shame really as it AOSP based roms with SPEN functions would be awesome.
*push*, does any developer can figure this out
i really love the keyboard with numbers, but i also love the cm roms

AOSP Theme import for sammy based roms request

Hi there everybody....
So today I replaced my s3 with the note 2 N7100. So far it was so worth it....
One thing though that I am terribly missing is the AOSP domination theme for sammy based roms.
I did some theme searching in Xda, but I couldn't find a good AOSP Theme.
When I had My s3, I used "[VRT]DOMINATION*v1.8* theme and it was perfect.
This is the perfect solution for all of us who can't stand the default green samsung theme, and Love the google Styled (AOSP) theme.
I tried looking for a note 2 compatible version, but i received a reply from the theme creator, that there isn't one. So i was thinking the maybe some of the talented XDA developers, could try to import the theme for us note 2 users...
I'm posting here a link to the home thread in XDA so that all can see what i'm talking about.
I hope you like it as much as me....
And please, if possible, please import:

You should check out [email protected], Modstorm, and westcrips ROMS. They are all very good ROMS that are AOSP themed. Not as perfect cut as domination theme (that theme is flawless in my opinion), but they are getting there.
You can find them all in the development section. You can't really go wrong with any of them, although [email protected] and mod storm are updated a lot more often than westcrips ROM.

I did actually check the AOSP ptoject (modstorm) but it's not even close to the domination theme.
Besides, all of the examples that you gave, if i'm not mistaken, are roms, or AOSP roms.
What i'm looking for is a good AOSP theme for sammy based roms. i'm sure that a lot of users like me do not want to give up there favorite sammy based rom.

All of my examples are Touchwiz ROMS that are AOSP themed.
But these are definitely the best options you have until someone ports the Domination theme (which is doubtful as it has happened yet). Either that, or use an AOSP ROM, which I personally don't want to do because of all the Touchwiz features you lose. IMO, these complete ROMS are much more AOSP than any of the themes you will find in the theme section.
But I feel your pain, as I would also LOVE to see domination get ported.

Oh my gawd... That theme is so good. I want it!!
Avetny had a good AOSP theme going, but he dropped out of the game.
Well, I'm another one of those loving AOSP theme but don't want to loose excellent Samsung TouchWiz features.
As others said, there is no excellent AOSP theme so far, just AOSP themed ROMs.
The best AOSP themed ROMs I found are AllianceROM and Crash ROM.
The former needs a tiny bit of colour customization to get there, but it is definitely worth it (no more than 5-10 minutes of settings).
Check them out...

Wow, thanks dude. I've been reading about this in Android Apps & Games and it looks pretty amazing. But don't the theme ports have to be device-specific to work properly? Where are all the Note II ports being published/uploaded?
Couldn't find anything in Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps... Am I stupid/blind?
well a week ago I have replaced sgs2 for note2...
Im not a fan of touchwiz based roms, before I was using aosp, cm and other amazing roms.
But since with note2 all the great features of s-pen are not supported on nonstock based roms, Im searching for some solution.
Now Im searching for original copy of my stock rom. so in case of I will need warranty, I will flash it. But cant find it for now.
Anyway, I found amazing aosp theme for stock based ROMs here on xda. The only bad thing that is development has stopped, and the latest version is for android 4.1.1... but I think that it would be not so complicated to port it for a newest version of rom.
here is this great theme.
