This.
I use the app call Stick It in the Play Store to allow me to watch Videos and still use the rest of the screen for other apps. I don't think we will get a full fledged port of Multi Window without Touch Wiz becuase I believe that it is built into Touch Wiz in a way that it relys on diffrent parts to be in the background. There are other floating apps that work like Stick It if you search for Floating Apps.

That looks like a solid note taking app, if you looking for other floating apps there is this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918001 here you can look at.
I just happened to find this today I tried it but I don't know how it works so I'm not sure if it worked or not. But it is in fact installed/enabled on my phone. There's a bunch of cool modules for xposed framework including per app DPI.

I noticed a lack of a central thread dedicated to alternative Touchwiz apps. There are some lists available in various CM/AOSP threads, but I found most of those lists incomplete.
While these apps are namely for use on AOSP where the Touchwiz apps don't exist, many of them I use on Touchwiz as well, as numerous apps function better than Samsung's. Some are free, while others are not. I found the paid apps to be well worth the price though.
This list is currently just my own personal list, most of which are devoted to the SPen and popup functionality. If you have any recommendations for alternatives that you use, feel free to post them here (or send me a PM) and I'll add them to this post.

Multi-Window
Onskreen Cornerstone - I'm including this only as a proof of concept. Onskreen Cornerstone has the capabilities for multiwindow, but would need to be baked into AOSP roms in order to support it. Legend speaks of a time when devs tried adding this to their roms, but found it too buggy to continue. Other tales tell of Google threatening the development community if they started including this feature. Now that Touchwiz has multiwindow capabilities, maybe Google will relax. Maybe someday devs will try again and succeed.
Misc Useful
SPen Board Switcher (free) Changes to any alternate keyboard - such as 7notes - when SPen is removed. Switches back when SPen is replaced. (Touchwiz Only)
Ultimate Rotation Control (trial/paid) Allows lock screen rotation with TouchWiz, as well as any app to fully rotate.
_____________________________________
Again, if you have any app recommendations for Touchwiz alternatives, let me know. I may have missed entire categories of Touchwiz apps simply because they're features I don't personally use.
There has to be a reason many devs reserve the second post, so I'm reserving the second post.

I wish. I've been keeping my eyes peeled, but nothing so far. The closest thing is the Onskreen Cornerstone framework that needs to be baked into AOSP roms. Rumor has it, the last time devs tried this, it was too buggy to pursue. I wish they would try again though. It looks incredibly promising.

That was the only reason I didn't unlock my Transformer Prime, the cornerstone roms weren't kept current due to bugs. I'm gonna be selling my Prime and was going to replace it with a Nexus 7 (possibly a newer version) but now I'm thinking a 7" Note for the multi tasking ability.
This is the best note app I have tried.

I'm not asking which people like best, because I know that is highly subjective. What I want to know are which ROMs have all original S-Pen functions intact and if they have Samsung's apps too, that a bonus. I want a ROM that has more settings in the notification pull down and more theme options, but I don't want to give up the S-Pen functions that were one of the big reasons I got a Note. Any ideas?
did you know you can get gmt spen control from the market and use it with any rom? Then get an app like papyrus or memo, and you can set up custom gestures, or the original gestures if you like.
It works extremely well, and let's you try out cm based roms while still getting to use your s pen

You, my friend, are my hero for the day! I absolutely did not know that. I've only had the phone like 2 days and have only been back on Android like 2 days. I was on Windows Phone for the past two years after about as long on Android and really got out of touch with Android during that time.
Also, what is the name of the app that gives you S-Pen control? I got a lot of results but quite a few of them seemed fairly shady.

You should also check out GMD Spen Control in the Play store, it adds some of the features back and gives you more than were on TW.
It is $5 but its well worth it. It was made using the Spen SDK from Samsung.

I'm specially interested in the hover icon for the s-pen.
Is it a function that only touchwiz-based roms can get? I know that we lose all the support for the s-pen on AOSP, but I was wondering if the hovering is more a hardware thing - thus, possible.
Thanks!
I can't comment on 4.2.2, but I'm running cyanogenmod 4.3 and I can turn on hover. Settings - Language & input - Show icon when using stylus.
first I was using the CM S-Pen Root from Playstore (free). Very limited features ( detection, keyboard change)
but I have moved to this one: Cost is $5.25 but worth it for all the features of S-Pen on AOSP Roms.

I understand why people want to flash stock JB custom ROMS (me always having been one of them, for 3 phones now), but in the case of the GS4, why?
You would lose actual useful Samsung features like Multi Window (works ridiculously well), WatchON (to utilize the IR blaster), the mostly better Samsung camera app, S Health (some ppl use), and even some of the smart features like gestures, S Voice, and the eye tracking stuff.
Don't most people want at least some of these? I would never want to lose Multi Window (first time having this, especially when using Samsung Multi Window Manager to use any apps with it), WatchON, and the camera app, even having been a stock custom ROM freak for a long time with other phones.
This is the first time I feel that rooting, deodexing, debloating, and a few theme mods are enough to satisfy me (for now) mainly because I want these factory apps and features.
Anyone else?

Ummmmm.....because I prefer stock AOSP over ALL that stuff combined?!?!?!?!
I have absolutely no use for any of the features you listed. Camera quality on AOSP will get there eventually.......and I don't use multi window.....and the other stuff is just bloat....
Just my opinion....
Your going to have people on both sides of this. Some want an AOSP like experience and consider all of these Samsung apps to be "Bloat".
IMO, I'd like to see a AOSP look and feel ROM, with some of the Samsung features in it. I'm sure someone will make something like that.

I agree, but honestly with some theming, Nova launcher, and a few app replacements, the phone on Touchwiz isn't much different whatsoever. I mean what, just the settings menus and some of the system apps? No big deal.
I don't get why anyone wouldn't want true multitasking like Multi Window provides (among the other things)...
Better lockscreen
Theme engine
More internal memory
More customization (although xposed is making that less of a difference)
Sometimes things like better Bluetooth stacks

Unfortunately no matter how small the ROM is you won't get any of that space back.
Then if there was a de-Touchwized ROM, I'd take that lol. I want to keep these things but yes I too hate the small differences in Touchwiz that aren't easily changeable without custom ROMing.
Also, I actually like the Touchwiz lock screen a lot, that sunlight effect is sick and something to show off the screen with, and you can still use the widgets just like in AOSP.

How is the multi-window different from just holding down Home to access recent apps? I know it puts a side slide-out bar on top of everything. Just curious.

Yeah, I stand corrected. That is pretty slick.
I came to this phone from the galaxy nexus. I wanted something different from stock Android. Don't get me wrong I love stock Android just wanted something different. I don't use all the s app and all the air view and motion stuff. But there are some I like and use and from what I can tell there is a Rom that leaves all the features on it.

Just installed this app yesterday, works great. You can customize swipes on your screen to do different things. I've attached a screenshot of all the current possible actions.
I'm still using stock gestures, but have added a few additional swipes.

I disagree...I never heard of this before.
I really like this app. Just found it yesterday. Wanted to turn off my screen with a swipe or app(now I do with a swipe). It works perfect. This should be BUILT IN to SETTINGS\Advanced\Motions and gestures! However, it is readily available on Play and Galaxy stores, sooo, NP.
Have hidden the bottom native nav buttons. They still work, but are hard to reach one handed. Don't have to reach down for back/recent/home anymore.
Can go directly to app drawer from another program. Very usefull. A plethora of actions.
This app works well if you want to use gestures with a 3rd party launcher but do not like the stock OneUI gestures. I had the stock gestures enabled but only used swipe up for home and then used OHO+ for the back and task switcher, not as good as proper android 10 gestures but works pretty well.
Finally I can use Android 10 gestures-like with Nova! Thanks!

No it is old , it is a part of Samsung goodlock package since i think galaxy s8 back in 2018
I am absolutely loving this app. I came back to Android after 1.5years of iOS and I am not disappointed with the level of customization we can do, and Samsung has definitely up its game as far as the software goes.
