This is an application which allows detection of the S Pen detachment even on AOSP/AOKP/CM based ROMs.
It has only been tested on the Note 2 by me. If it works on your note device please let me know so that I can add it to the list of compatible note devices.
Explanation of how it works:
The android system automatically adds event files for each input device it detects when being installed. These event files are located in /dev/input/eventX where X denotes a particular device. These event files can be read using native C code for which I use an API provided by Radu Motisan which can be found here and also a bit more information about the event files can be found there. So now using this interface I find the event file for the S Pen and then continously read it to see if the value of the S Pen sensor has been changed. Whenever it changes I broadcast the corresponding Intent which was broadcasted by Samsung so that any applications which work based on that Intent can work even on these ROMs without having to change any of their code.
An interesting thing is that this feature is already present in CyanogenMod i.e S-Pen Power saving mode which disables the s pen touch decoder when the s pen is inserted. I fail to understand why they are not doing the same thing that I am doing through my application and save all of us the trouble.
Phone vibrates when i inserted/detached s-pen, so it works? I have note2 lte (n7105) with latest rootbox nightly.

Guys this is the beta version of my application which can detect S Pen detection even on CyanogenMod(works for me on JellyBeer Rom).
Please test it out and tell me if it works on your ROM, it mimics the Intent which is broadcast-ed by Samsung when the S Pen is inserted/detached so any applications which use that intent should work fine.
You can use it in conjunction with my application S Pen Helper to mimic page-buddy on CM 10. Here is the playstore link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tushar.spen_helper

It works well, also Using jellybeer rom. Very good, one thing, how to auto launch a note app? There is the option to launch something, but can't choose what to launch, unless I'm blind.(which could easily be the case)

I had made spen-helper keeping Samsung based ROMs in mind so it selects s note by default but since it's not there on cm10 so it's blank just click below the enable launch toggle will pop up a dialog to change it. I'll fix it in the next version. Also I suggest not to keep the event monitor running in the background as it drains the battery a lot. I'm looking for a method to fix the battery drain currently.

Can't see the "app launch settings" you've mentioned. Did you remove it? The batery drain is visible but i think it's not catastrophic. I wonder why the CM team never got around implementing this because they already have the building blocks...

The app launch settings are not there in this application. If you want those features you will have to use this application in conjunction with this.
Regarding the battery drain I fixed it in the last version if you are still having battery drain I would suggest increasing the polling value to 1000 which is responsive enough and not at all taxing on the battery

Thanks for the update. I already use the app you've pointed at - just thought your app could do the same (my bad...). On the battery side i disabled you app and the s pen helper leaving me with "stock" CM10.1 + a bunch of play store downloaded apps. The battery drain is still there so the good news is that your app works as expected - that is not causing any dramatic power consumption. The the bad side... the battery drain is caused by something else. I've installed wakelock doctor and am waiting to see which is the app causing the mentioned battery drain (~4%/hour - roughly 4 times more than usual).
Thanks for your quick support!

The battery drain is a problem in most of the CM based ROMs. I use Sentinel ROM which gives much better battery life than any of the other ROMs I tried. Link is in my signature in case you want to try it out.

Thanks for pointing out that CM causes battery drain. I've previousely used CM on all my devices (HTC Desire, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Note I & II and Nexus 7) and it turned out to being great. I'll test a bit more and then jump over to Sentinel ROM.
This is a great application...
Many thanks for this huge step forward !!

I want to thank you for your hard work on this application, and the level to which you've gone to enable s-pen support in non-touchwiz ROMs. I just made the jump to Carbon ROM (4.3) this weekend after using my Sprint Note 2 (SPH-L900) with rooted, stock 4.1 since I got it at launch last year. I am totally fed-up with touch-wiz and I am really amazed at the difference the ASOP ROM is making for me.
I installed your app and it seemed to work perfectly for about 20 mins or so, then the next time I pulled out my s-pen it didn't recognize the event. Rebooting didn't make a difference, the only thing that made it work again was uninstalling, and then reinstalling the app. I am really confused as to why it stops working. I've checked, and both background services are still active, not cached, and the main program shows as running in my application manager. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions?
I can't paste links into XDA as I don't contribute all that often, but if you want to check out more on Carbon ROM I read about it on galaxynote2root, listed under the recent posts. The ROM is extremely stable and I'm very baffled as to why it isn't cooperating with your app! Thanks!

I think that is happening because you have screen off detection disabled and you are locking the phone before re inserting the s pen. If that happens again you can try inserting the pen then enabling and disabling the detection from the application's settings.

ONLY POST QUESTIONS YOU HAVE REGARDING ISSUES YOU DO NOT SEE IN THIS FAQ
"Q" and "A" SOLUTIONS THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS THREAD
ISSUES WITH CURRENT SOLUTIONS IN THIS THREAD THAT DIDN'T SOLVE A PROBLEM
OR ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE REGARDING CM10.1 ITSELF! I HOPE TO FILL THIS THREAD UP WITH MANY MORE Q AND A SOLUTIONS TO HELP OTHER USERS AND DECREASE UNNECESSARY POSTS IN DEVELOPER SECTIONS! IF YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE: PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DO SO!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: I flashed CM10.1 but my GPS won't lock. Is there a solution?
A: Absolutely!
(Optional) Use TitaniumBackup to backup your apps+data
Use Recovery to Backup your current state (System, Data, Boot)
Flash a Sense ROM of any kind (I use MeanBean)
(Don't forget to do your wipes, of course)
*Once booted into a Sense ROM*
Make sure your GPS is turned ON and open up Google Maps
Wait for your GPS to lock
Reboot into Recovery and Restore your Backup
(Don't forget to do your wipes, of course)
*Once booted back onto your CM10.1*
Make sure GPS is turned ON and open up Google Maps
Your GPS should now lock.
Q: I noticed screen tearing (glitch-like symptoms) on my CM10.1. Is there a solution?
A: Absolutely!
Go into Developer Options
Scroll down to "Disable HW Overlays"
Check the box to disable
Screen tearing is now gone.
NOTE! You will need to do this on each reboot!
Q: Developer Options don't exist on my CM10.1. Is it hidden?
A: Kind of.
Go into About
Scroll all the way down and tap the build 7 times
You will notice a message saying Developer Options was unlocked.
Q: How do I get the Play Store on my CM10X?
A: You'll need to download a compatible GApps (Google Apps
You can find the latest GApps in this thread
Q: Why isn't my WiFi connecting?
A: That issue is usually caused by your router. Simply reset or unplug your router for 15 seconds and try again.
Q: I installed an AOSP kernel and my phone has been rebooting. Why is that?
A: The kernel may not be supported with your current ROM.
Some kernels have a voltage script provided by the builder. Ask the developer if there is one available.
You can also download Kernel Tuner from the Play Store to change voltage.
Q: Voltage? Kernel Tuner? What now...?
A: Within' Kernel Tuner you will want to go into Voltage and use the "All +12.5 mV" which will up the Voltage in all areas. I found that having 192MHz at 900mV will make CM10.1 plenty stable while not affecting battery life significantly. ROM and Kernel may very. Do some Trial and Error to see what is suitable for you
Q: My internal storage says I have less than I really should. Did I ruin my internal SD Card?
A: No. Don't panic.
All you need to do is Wipe your Internal Storage.
Backup your files if you don't want to lose them, of course.
Problem should be solved.
Issue usually occurs when flashing from Sense to AOSP or flashing numerous ROM's in a short period of time.
Q: Where can I find the latest Deck Builds?
A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2110920
You can also check the iRC channel (info in the thread above)
Also, search Google for "CM10 EVO LTE irc" and click the first link
Q: Should I flash Nightly Builds or Deck's Builds?
A: Nightly Builds are official CM builds which don't include all of Deck's maintenance, tweaks, etc... You'll find that Deck's Builds just happen to be more stable.

I've been using CM 10.1 ever since it first came out .I love it but the only problem i got is the terrible battery life I've been experiencing .It has gotten lot worst over time now my phone barely last a couple of hours per charge.Is there any advice you can give me to get better battery life?
ive done clean and dirty installs to find a solution but still get the same result and i've never use another kernel with the ROM. The best battery life i've experience with my phone was with stock rom when i used to get 24hrs on one charge .i'm seriously thinking about going back to stock but i love CM10.1

That is pretty weird. I had that problem on the EVO 3D before. Were you or are you using any custom kernel, kernel tuner, or scripts at all?
I know, too, that the battery does seem to drain a bit fast at first but then it gets more subtle. MeanBean has been draining me worse than CM10.1 right now.

MeanBean has never treated me well on battery life no matter what I do. Not on my replacement anyway. On my other LTEvo it was working great. But... CM10.1's battery life shouldn't be that bad. Could always use Kernel Tuner to manage the CPU and Gov. a bit. Trial and error until you find a satisfied combination. I generally use Ondemand as opposed the interactive. I noticed Ondemand gave me better battery life. Haven't done much with the CPU speeds in a while so I'm not going to be too much help there... I also use System Panel to monitor apps, system, memory, and use its built-in task killer.

How to disable shutter sound?
In older versions of CM there used to be an option in system settings to disable the shutter sound in the camera app. I can't seem to find any options either in the camera settings or in the system settings for this in CM10.1. Anyone know if this is there or not? Or is it coming in a future version?

Thanks for putting this post together. I have always used Sense but have been wanting to try a CM10.1 ROM. This information is very helpful.
A question that I have is what bugs or issues are currently associated with CM10.1? Most of the CM10.1 ROMs under Bug List say "Any bugs currently in latest CM10.1." Is there a centralized place that lists all of the issues? Thanks.

The only thing I noticed going wrong was my background will occasionally disappear (go black). Sometimes it will pulsate or strobe. Only happens when I sleep the phone while in Messages, and wake the phone. After unlocking, the background will either be black, be black for a while and all of the sudden pop my background image back up, or just act normal. I have no customizations or anything so I'm not sure why this occurs. Otherwise, the Vertical orientation option for the App Drawer is still messy as it always has been. That's all I've noticed but I haven't tested the music player yet .

Power Shutter? If so, that's in the Camera app settings. Click the bottom-right screen-button and choose the bottom-center settings screen-button. I also have apps that'll randomly open when I wake the phone but I figured that was just because of the phone being in my pocket, turning on, and going to the app. It will open to the clock.

Actually, not referring to Power-Shutter. I'm referring to the actual sound that is made when you take a photo. It's a bit jarring/annoying to have it "dleep!" when I take photos. Back in CM7 I remember that we could turn that sound off.

And as you'll find stated numerous times: the latest touchpanel firmware isn't yet supported with most, if not all, AOSP ROM's. S-OFF, which will make you downgrade, and you'll be able to use your AOSP ROM's. And then you can update to the latest firmware minus the tp update.

Hey developers.. Would you consider this an Android problem or a developers app not compatible with 4.4 problem?
I would report this to the app developer. He will be able to file a more detailed bug report if not fix it himself
I cannot drag and drop app icon from App drawer to the Home screen. Every time I try this I just load the app. It doesn't matter for how long I'm holding the app icon. Maybe this is due to the low battery, which is doubtful. Reboot doesn't help. Please kindly let me know if I'm not the only one with such weirdness.
This is definitely some malfunction since per Android 4.4 User Guide (http://www.google.com/help/hc/images/android/android_ug_42/Android-Quick-Start-Guide.pdf):
To add an app icon to a Home screen:
1. Go to the Home screen where you want to place the app.
2. Touch theAll Apps icon.
3. Swipe from right to left, if necessary, to find the app you want.
4. Touch & hold the app until the Home screen appears, slide it into place, and lift your finger
Edit:
Found out that this only happens when the device is plugged with USB cable. Maybe this is a feature not a bug...

Has anyone noticed that since the upgrade to 4.4 that your device is staying awake? Seems to be caused by Android system. It doesn't sleep anymore and it's draining my battery because of this. Anyone found out what the problem is? I read on another forum that it's being caused by the Google Keyboard that is shipped with 4.4, if I change the keyboard with the 1,2,3 layout, will this solve the battery drain issue? This is weird man......
Thanks for the replies!

Haven't had a look at battery stats or anything but I got over 6 hours screen on time yesterday, so I can't say i've got a problem with battery life
Here's a screenshot I made. To verify it, I disabled the keyboard for a moment, and indeed, the device went to sleep. I then re-enabled the keyboard and again the device won't sleep! Without use I lost 5% of my battery in just 30 minutes. Anyone knows how I can update the keyboard with the newest version?
I think I solved the problem. I turned off Hotword detection under Google Now settings, and then Voice. Seems to have done the trick! Now when the screen is switched off the device goes to sleep. This is weird though, it should switch off when the screen is off but it doesn't! So, I think this is a legitimate bug that needs fixing! Can someone give this a try and report back if this solution helped?

Can everyone post a list of stable roms for I717? I don't like going through the trouble of backing up all my data and flashing a new rom only to have it crash multiple times per day and have something like bluetooth not work reliably at all. Maybe some people enjoy playing with that (a lot of the most popular roms at the top of the forum are like this), but I don't!
I'll start the list and say that Beanstalk 4.4 is extremely stable, only had it reset on me twice in one year, and bluetooth works 100%. Only issue is that you can't move apps to SD so you run out of space quick (thanks to kitkat). I'd love to find something above kitkat this stable...
And I'll add some that I have tried and failed:
Candy5: No matter what Gapps I tried (yes pico etc), none of them installed and even after going through every suggestion in the thread I could not get a simple google play installed. Stock browser crashes every 2 minutes.
Pac-rom: Promising but crashes 10+ times per day. Often does not power on unless you boot into recovery and select reboot. GPS is terrible, google maps often loses it's place and gives turn-by-turn directions 60 seconds too late. Stock browser crashes all the time as well.
CM: Bluetooth reliability is terrible. Quincyatt not updated since 2014.
Sounds like you should stick with beanstalk or return the device to stock. When you rooted your device, it opened up security issues so it'll never be as solid as you'd like. What hasn't been updated since 2014?

CM for I717.
I don't like going back to stock because IMO it's less secure (heartbleed is a pretty big security hole). If you leave root access disabled and don't download shady apps a custom rom isn't any more insecure.

Yes, I tried every suggestion in the thread and it still didn't work. After trying pac-rom for a couple days (and having it crash 20+ times) I just tried wiping it and flashing candy again, and now Gapps with google play worked the first time with no troubleshooting. Shrug.
Seems rock-solid so far though. Can't post in that thread since I have too few posts, so one question, if I do the OTA download for the new 4.0, can I just flash it on top of my 3.9 version or do I need to wipe everything and start over? Also, under Settings, Apps, if I click an app and move to SD card, it will sit there and say "moving" forever. If I exit settings and come back sometimes the app will actually show moved to SD list though.
And the stock calendar app doesn't seem to let me log in, it says "Sign in to get the most out of your device". Then I enter the email I've always used and it says "This account already exists on your device." But there's no other way to actually select that account. What am I doing wrong?

Don't do the OTA yet since BB won't let me upload my roms. The ota notification is a fluke. You'll have to flash the rom fresh between trying to find the right gapps which will work on your device. Candy is the most stable of all my builds currently.

Still can't post in the main thread but:
-If you turn on "Directly show pattern view", nothing shows on the lock screen besides the dots (time, weather, owner info, notifications).
-I had the dreaded bluetooth bug happen the other day, do you get many reports of this? (bluetooth stops working while streaming music, and does not turn back on until a phone reset).
-Stock calendar cannot be logged into (edit: just installed the google calendar from the app store which worked fine)
Unfortunately these are all deal breakers for me but I really like the rom otherwise, I don't want to switch back
Any way to enable HDMI output? (I have the adapter which worked before).

I heavily utilize the "Move to SD card" option because otherwise the default storage doesn't hold more than 10 or so apps, but I've had a problem with Candy5 twice now where my phone will crash, and upon reboot, all the apps that were moved to SD card are gone. Anyone else encounter this?
I wish I could post in the normal thread.
Installed the latest Candy5 20151031, did a complete wipe of everything per the instructions, and after installing 1 app (gmail), the phone reboot the first time gmail opened while placing the gmail widget down.
Here's a list of ROMs I've tested:
BlackSTAR XI - Best ROM for the i717. Super stable and fast.
CM Official - Good, but very buggy. SD card breaks, phone reboots often, HW overlays, etc.
Padawan - Not much new here, just a simple modded version of stock. Very stable but not too fast.
Candy5 - Very laggy, as LP is still in development for i717.
CM11 Unofficial - A bit laggy, HW overlays.
All in all I'm a huge fan of BlackSTAR XI, best ROM I've seen so far.

Hi there good people of XDA.
Im on EMUI 3.1 B180 with TSF Launcher as home screen.
Is there a way to change look of Recent Apps tab on this configuration ?
No apps like sidebars with recent apps function shows recent apps. All of them states that there is no recent app. In my opinion somehow they can't get access to read them. Same for other apps claiming they change look of this RA tab.
Why i want to do this:
- I have changed DPI and Recent Apps tab got moved to left which looking bad and it's impractical
- It only show 4 last apps on one screen - (impractical again)
Question 2:
Any way possible to edit some files to achive more recent apps on one screen or change look of RA tab?
If there is no one who knows 100% solution then let's start discussion thread with ideas.
Thanks guys

I actually came here to find the answer to something similar. I think my issues and yours are related.
I also have the b180 firmware and have noticed that apps do not seem to be receiving app usage data despite me having given them access in "settings>security>apps with usage access".
I'm not sure if this issue is related specifically to the b180 firmware as I have only had the honor 7 (PLK-L01) for about 2 weeks and I updated it to b180 the day I got it.
The reasons why I am getting the impression that apps are not receiving app usage data are as follows:
1. I use an app called omni swipe. It has 3 tabs. One called toolbox which has access to various phone settings such as enabling/disabling wifi, one called favourites where I can pin my favourite apps for quick access and one called recent which is supposed to show my most recently used apps. The recent tab is always blank. I have confirmed that the issue is not with the app itself as the same version of the app doesn't have these issues on my old phone (samsung galaxy a3).
2. Again Omni Swipe also has a feature whereby when notifications are received it displays a little red bubble in the corner of the screen. In omni swipe's settings you can specify what apps you want the bubble to be able to appear over and which you don't. An example would be that I have specified that I don't want the bubble to appear while I am using the YouTube app. However the bubble still appears over YouTube. I believe this is because Omni Swipe is unable to determine when I am using the YouTube app due to not receiving app usage data from the phone
3. Opera Max recently received a feature whereby it can track background data usage on an app by app basis. This works fine on my old phone but on the honor 7, Opera Max is unable to distinguish whether the data is being used in the background or whether it's being used while I am using the app actively. Weirdly it does seem to be able to work out what apps I have been using at least although other apps don't.
4. CCleaner is able to determine what processes are currently running so that you can manually kill them with its task manager feature (I am aware that killing processes on Android is pointless, so I don't actually ever use this feature), however whenever I run an analysis it does not detect any running processes whatsoever.
5. Ultimate rotation control allows me to force screen rotation in any app regardless of whether the app natively supports a particular orientation. It has a per app settings section that allows me to specify the particular orientation for any app on an app by app basis. However the per app settings seem to be ignored. Again I believe that this is because Ultimate Rotation Control is unable to determine when specific apps are running due to not receiving app usage data from the phone.
These are all the specific issues I have noticed so far. All seem to be related to me. I have tested that all these issues are not present in the same versions running on my Samsung Galaxy A3.
The issues I have encountered along with the issues you have already described all seem to have the app usage data problem on common.
Does anyone know of any workarounds?

Do you know if the issue was there in the previous version of the firmware to b180? Just wondering if it's just a bug in b180 or in Huawei's implementation of lollipop in general.
I hear that Marshmallow (stable) is being released soon in the UK. Maybe the problem will be fixed in that update anyway. We can only hope.
Let me know if you manage to find a backgate. If I come across anything I'll let you know too. I'm waiting to hear back from Huawei at the moment.

It monitors traffic generated by apps as it passes through the VPN hence it's able to distinguish these, where the rest relies on the usage access API for data usage stats. This is also why in certain cases data usage can differ between what the OS reports and what is displayed in Opera Max.

So would this be why it is able to work out how much data I have used (based on the traffic that has passed through the VPN) but not able to distinguish whether that data was in the background or not due to no access to usage data?
Also do you work for Opera?? Weirdly enough I won this phone from a competition that was run by Opera over Christmas.

Exactly. We need to have usage access to see what app is in the foreground. By that we can mark the rest as in the background and categorize the traffic accordingly. There's a bit of lag in reporting the foreground app (up to 1s, depends on the device, usually around 200ms IIRC) and I'm not sure if we tested this with floating windows yet.
Yes, I work at Opera in a QA Engineer role for Max . I hope you're satisfied with your prize .
If you know your way around ADB you can send me logcats if there are any exceptions thrown due to this issue by Max .
Alternatively you could just wait for the Android MM OTA and see if it fixes the issue.

Yeah its a really good phone, just wish Huawei would give me my bootloader unlock code so I can root, but that's a whole other story and topic
I can send you logcats if you want them although I haven't experienced any real issues with Opera Max other than the occasional notification telling me that certain apps have used a lot of background data which I actually used as foreground data but thats not really an issue with the app but rather the app working correctly with the information that is being provided to it by the phone so I can't really fault it for that.
I did report the issue to Honor UK and they said they would submit it as a bug and that hopefully it will be sorted in the Marshmallow update. Just waiting for the update which should be soon hopefully.
Thanks for the clarification anyway. The whole team at opera do a great job with both Opera Max and Opera Browser.

That's an interesting edge case we didn't bump into yet. Sanity-checking system APIs in the app can make sense but on the other hand there's no easy way to later test these cases. It's easier to assume that the app is at fault then and just gather feedback from users .

I'll assume then that the Honor team will tackle this issue then . It's a pity they don't ship with the bootloader unlocked. Having root on devices is essential for comfortable debugging of VPN issues so I feel you .

I now have an unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and rooted marshmallow installed. It seems so far that any issues that I was having that were related to requiring access to app usage data are all fixed in the marshmallow update. Opera Max is now working how it used to with correct reporting of what data was used in the foreground and what data was used in the background.
All is good in marshmallow land on my Honor 7 now.

Good to hear that MM works fine for you and that you finally got an unlocked bootloader!
If you are upgrading from Lollipop to Marshmallow, here is a list of things that you will see differently in this update:
Wifi Calling - Allows you to call people through Wi-Fi when a mobile network is not present
Wi-Fi Improvements - Wi-Fi will function easier and more synchronized with the device
Bluetooth Improvements
Google Now MM improvements
New Qualcomm IZat Functionality
Doze Mode
On-Request based app permissions
Do Not Disturb - Blocks all sounds, even alarms if you want to.
Ability to change lock screen clock orientation
Knock Code - You must now have 6 taps to unlock your device instead of 4
Updated QSnap+ App
Updated Music App (now works with Android Wear)
Fingerprint function more stable
If there are more fixes that were in this update, just let me know.
I have found that the MM native fingerprint function is far more consistent and faster. You just have to log in via the alternate method initially after booting up.

So, Im relatively new to Doze. Is there something specific to set it up? As it stands my battery life went into the crapper with this update.
On a side note, LOVE the fact that theres a unified finger print API. Now I get to use a lot more apps more efficiently.

So the way doze works is that it turns off apps that consistently use a lot of energy. If you don't want a specific app to do this, like Snapchat, go to Settings > Battery > Battery Usage > scroll down to Ignore Optimizations in the Battery Optimization section and then check the ones you want.
As for battery life, factory resetting the phone is a very good option to use. I reccomend to reinstall all of your apps so that the new permissions system will go into effect and you get less of a battery strain.
I dunno about anyone else but so far I think M has made my bluetooth far far worse. I dunno why this phone has a serious problem with streaming audio on bluetooth the same time it is pulling data.

Yes I have actually had the same issue you had. It was super annoying and there were noticeable glitches that happened beforehand. But when I did a factory wipe it just seemed to be all fixed after I did that.
