The geniuses in the main G3 section have cooked up working clock faces for the Quick Circle cases for AOSP ROMs. Also has notifications, call answer/reject and weather. All you need is xposed. Confirmed working on latest Illusion rom. Its not as seamless as stock obviously, but the dev is hard at work.

Hi
I have recently installed KingCobra3d-ICS 1.5 and it is running brilliantly but i have one minor issue, when my screen is locked and somebody calls I have no option to answer it from the lock screen therefore having to pattern unlock it then answer the call, this is not a major issue but has caused me to miss a few calls due to it. My question is if there is a fix as it seemed to be a know bug in the earlier versions but was fixed in update 1.2, or will i have to reinstall the ROM from scratch to get it working?
I presume you have installed AOSP version od KingCobra3D. I have a solution, maybe not the best one. I installed the ROM with AOSP components but without the AOSP lockscreen. Sense lockscreen works fine on incoming calls.
Sorry I forgot to mention that, yes i have the AOSP lockscreen as it is more aesthetically pleasing than the sense lockscreen which is the main reason I am reluctant to switch back to the sense lockscreen. I will switch to slide unlock rather than pattern which will help the issue but I will continue looking for a resolution. Thanks for your reply.
I have found a workaround by using Llama to unlock the screen when a call is incoming.
Jaydrury1992, since you've been testing this ROM - did you experience any other glitches? How about camera, 3D and bluetooth as well as USB-connection? Thinking about switching from Virtuous Shooter to another ICS ROM where everything works flawlessly to be able to use the awesome PDroid Privacy Protection.
Got another fully working ICS-ROM in mind? Recommendations are VERY welcome!
Too bad CyanogenMod 9 doesn't provide working 3D effects and camera yet...

no problem on my side only use sense theme, fantastic rom
I've had my Note 2 for a few weeks. This is the first phone I haven't rooted and put on a custom ROM. I came from a Galaxy Nexus where I tried many flavors of ROM. The one thing I really miss from 4.2.2 is the ability to put widgets on the lock screen. (I use pattern lock).
Let me say that I'm not annoyed by TouchWiz so that's not the incentive to put on a custom ROM. And I definitely don't want "pure Google" as I'd choose AOKP over AOSP any day.
I'm tempted to put on a 4.2.2 ROM on the Note 2 but I'd like to know what I'd lose by doing so. The ROM threads talk about the features of their rom but don't tell me about what I'll lose. So, here are some questions.
Do all of the unique features of the phone work properly?
Does the Spen work properly?
Are the Spen apps that Samsung supplies available?
Does Multi-Window still work?
Can I have a floating video player?
Do the capabilities of AllShare go away?
I'm especially dependent upon Samsung Motion: Palm touch to mute, quick glance,
Does Smart Stay work? (Screen stays on while looking at it)
Is there a bullet list of things that go away?
Thanks for any help given. I like to be informed before I jump in.
As long as it's a TouchWiz ROM everything works. On AOSP, it's trickier. S-Pen works as a stylus, but you need third party apps to get some of the features back, and you have no multi-window, and all the motion, smart stay, and similar features go away.
But, stick to TouchWiz ROMs and it all works fine.
Edit: I just noticed that you referred to AOKP and AOSP separately, but they aren't. AOSP is the Google open source drop, and many ROMs from CM to AOKP to PAC and more are based on AOSP. So, AOKP *is* AOSP.
If you use a non-touchwiz rom, all the things that make the Note a Note, go away. All the Samsung features, multi window, s-pen, smart everything, s-pen preview, pop-up browser, s-planner, everything goes away.
You can use a third party note taking app, there are other floating browsers, s-pen works as a stylus only, not cut & paste or pop-up notes.
Stick with MeanBeans or CleanROM if you want full functionality.
Thanks for the quick replies. Very helpful information. It begs new questions.
1. Is there a TouchWiz ROM that is running 4.2?
2. If not, what's the benefit of installing a 4.1 TouchWiz ROM?
3. Can I easily tell if a rom is TouchWiz? Do they state it in their description?

1. None of the TW ROMs are 4.2 at this point.
2. The advantages of the custom ROMs are that they combine lots of individual mods to improve overall functionality. Things like adding all apps to multi-window, editing the APN information to use another carrier's sim for data, changing the toggles in the notification window, etc.
3. The ROM description will tell you if the ROM is touchwiz based. Take a look at the dev forum...they are all listed there http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1888
There are no 4.2 TW ROMs. There are 4.1.2 ROMs, but they are not based on Verizon software. Whether or not that matters depends on whether or not you use Verizon apps. My Verizon works fine, but Visual Voicemail, NFL Mobile, etc will not work. All the Samsung stuff still works fine.
As for benefit, they are leaner, usually quicker, and have more features and customizations available. You can choose what stock apps you want to install and which you want to leave out, and generally give you more control over your phone. Possibly of particular interest to you since you mentioned multi-window specifically, all the TW ROMs I've tried allow any app to be added to the multi-window toolbar, and not just the few that Samsung decided to put in there.
Look for one that isn't AOSP, CM, AOKP, etc. Also, if it's 4.2, it's not TW. Generally, you're going to find TW ROMs in normal development, and non-TW in original development.
Clean ROM 1.5 is based on Verizon ll4 code base. Almost everything should work. You can pick and choose what stock apps you want to install when you flash it.
This is the closest to stock experience while still getting the benefits of a custom ROM.

I had a few questions about AOSP ROMs and such. Firstly, I know what an AOSP ROM is, don't get me wrong, but one thing I didn't know is if an AOSP ROM for the S4 came with the features the phone is supposed to have like smart scroll, air gestures etc. Do they, or is there one that does? My second question was, if AOSP ROMs do not include these features is there a way to theme the phone to look like AOSP or a ROM (other than Eclipse) that looks like AOSP but has the features of the phone? I really like the AOSP look, but I want the features the phone is supposed to have. Also, the reason I don't want to run Eclipse is because I've tried it and loved it, however, the clock with the owner information for the lock screen doesn't work (at least for me, the owner info doesn't show up) and I really want the owner info there. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
By its v very definition, those features are not part of AOSP roms. They ate proprietary to Samsung's TouchWiz overlay.

[Paranoid android ROM is missingtons of features.. What happened to u guys? You guys were awesome. You guys were adding nice and unique functionalities to android like halo, pie, hover . but what happened now. Now the current paranoid android ROM has only theme engine. Why you guys removed all those nice features. Please add some xblast tools features and the floating windows features. And you guys did a great job. Good work. Always liked paranoid android Roms they have very unique and good functionalities.
Somebody hasn't tried it obviously.
We have hover, we have pie, we have floating window, quick settings, etc etc.

I like your rom and CyanogenMod function more!
Lock Screen
High Guys does this Rom have lock screen notifications ?
USB host
Add USB host mode.
The only thing keeping me back from upgrading from 3.99 to 4.4 is the fact it doesn't have the one feature which I heavily use... The Hybrid engine, that has to be my favorite mod to Android.
I hope you guys release it soon.
Keep up the good work!

The new paranoid android rom which i used doesnt have hover or floating apps. The one with CM theme engine integrated. The main thing which i am missing a lot is the hybrid engine.

If you are running official paranoid android then you definitely have hover and floating apps. Sounds like you didn't turn hover on....

I like the simplicity of cm 11 but the only thing keeping me away from it is a feature. Why doesn't cm have lock screen notifications like other roms?I have seen that the latest snapshot has heads up notifications. Those are cool but I like the loscreen notifications. I know I can use another rom, but other roms have a lot of other stuff that I don't need nor use. For example Like halo omni switch and other stuff.

The best lock screen notification app I've come across is NiLS from the Store. Looks and behaves just like the built in ones you are talking about.
Some Roms just haven't yet included things like that because either they just don't want to or there not at that stage yet where they are comfortable releasing that feature
If you want to try a really sweet rom that does have them along with some other great features without being a total Kanger ROM I highly suggest the latest Vanir Commotio .
It's running flawless for me with Alucards latest kernel. Stable not one FC and battery and performance are awesome.
