Galaxy Gear + S Pen + Tether - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I just picked up a Note 3 this week. I received a Galaxy Gear as a Christmas present and would like to be able to continue to use it. What ROMS work with Galaxy Gear? What ROMS keep the S-Pen features? What do I need to do to allow myself to USB and wi-fi tether?
Not a huge Touchwiz fan but, I do like the S-Pen features and I utilize the watch certain days. I'm a displaced Moto fan trying to fit in, :laugh:
Thanks in advance guy/gals!

I believe most of the ROMs in the android development section of Note 3 have Spen and Galaxy Gear working. That is because the ROMs are stripped down, themed versions of the stock rom. I use Beans rom and I can confirm that S-Pen works as expected. I don't have any Gear but I am pretty sure that will work too.
I do Wifi Tether on Beans Rom. All I did was install Tethering Widget on Beans and everything worked flawlessly.
I don't use TouchWiz. I have Nova Launcher and S-Pen air commands work on that launcher as well.
Hope this helps.

Note 2 with touchwiz or stock android? Vote!

Ok so i always hear a lot of people saying how they dislike touchwiz and that stock android is the best blah blah blah... So I was wondering, would you guys have preferred a note 2 with stock android and no S-pen or do you love it with touchwiz? I'm asking because I love touchwiz, I think its the best skin out there and it is a big reason why the note 2 is so awesome. But would you have preferred a note 2 with the same super AMOLED screen, same 3100mah battery but no spen, no touchwiz ( bye bye multi-window, spen features.....) running stock android?
Touchsh*t is slow and ugly as sh*t. That's why I delete touchwiz launcher and use Nova Prime launcher. Stock android iterface is much faster and smoother. Too bad that CyanogenMod for all samsung phones is very very unstable and buggy. I'm forced to use samsung official rom's with half touchwiz (with deleting touchwiz launcher). Will be great if someone can do normal non buggy CyanogenROM and port S Planner, S Note and Camera app into it.
Besides, multiwindows from Note 2 sucks. Look at Galaxy Note 10.1 multiwindows, I tried it at mobile store, it is great!
I've been running cm based roms since the first galaxy s (galaxy s, galaxy s2 note 1, galaxy s3, galaxy note 2), however, I made the switch back to touch wiz on my note today. Reasoning: I just feel it's more useful than a cm based rom on this device, and it's not as bad it use to be (believe me). So my vote goes to touch wiz ATM. Will I ever switch back to a cm based rom? Of course, but it's not a must have for me, for the first time.
*these are my options, I'm not basing anyone, or anything, and if you feel as if I insulted you...---- off (;*

I hate TW, but CM is such unstable because of Sammy not releasing sources..
So I'm using TW.
I'm now waiting for MIUI V5, as its 100% stable and doesn't have TW look. (only features and base)
I don't hate Touchwiz but I'm using Nova Launcher Prime. And you don't lose very much with using a third party launcher. I can still use popup note, s-pen, multi window etc. My toggles in notification bar are still the same. I don't know what people are losing with using a third party launcher. It only adds to the phone.
TW is a framework, not just a launcher
Between those two, TW any day, any time. Stock Android is nothing but a hype.
'Swyped' from my GT-N7100
cm=fast+buggy (for now)
tw=a bit slow+stable
so own choice
for me as long as I can make call and play game, it doenst matter
I like TouchWiz(stock rom) as it's stable and quite fast. At the moment, CM based ROMs are too unstable.

Touchwiz isn't just the launcher for Christ's sake. This is why Touchwiz gets all this hate, people not realising this simple point. Yes, the Touchwiz LAUNCHER is crappy and a lot of people including myself use one from the store, but Touchwiz itself with all its features is by far better than the featureless stock android (CM ect..)
Note 2 is my first Android device that I'm using completely stock...
I don't know why. ... I had many other android phones and tablets and all of them were flashed custon roms and kernels only couple of hours after purchase. ..
I love my note 2!

Yup I use apex launcher and S pen multi window and all the features work in it I don't like touchwiz just try apex launcher. Its awesome and highly customisable with air view works in it and holo look. Touchwiz is not that customizable however its good for the ppl who wants simple , fast and easy UI.
I recommend using a launcher mainly with NOTE 2 use Nova and Apex.

All phones I've had previously I've always ran CM. Once I got the Note 2 didn't find it necessary. Phone runs great on TW and has great features that I actually use at work and home life. And the battery is just perfect.

What?!
I don't even know where to begin...
No. I will exercise restraint. IMO, multiwindow is and can be very helpful. Sure, it's much more useful on 10.1-inch screen, but that doesn't make it less useful on Note2 and its 5.5-inch screen. It's multitasking heaven IMO.

Both are good...
Friends,
We are on Android, the most powerful OS currently on market (I think everybody in XDA will agree to this). Then why do you people worry. You can always switch back and forth between them.
You have Titanium Backup if you are rooted and even you have Carbon for unrooted device. So better give it a try for all the roms available. All of them are great. And i personally love CM 10.1 with all its additional customization features.
So i used to switch back and forth between them
And i also heard that some devs have started working on dual booting, but i am not sure about the recent updates on it.
I love both, and at the same time, yes, Stock on Note II is excellent.

@B3311 Please explain what you mean as apex launcher is not warez.

Your poll leaves out another option and that is keep most of what it TouchWiz but add customization by using Nova.
I think by getting rid of touchwiz you're losing too much functionality with the phone. I've tried a few different roms and launchers. From completely different cm10.1 to just nova launcher and I always come back to touchwiz... There is no lag, from what I can tell, on touchwiz. Everything works the way it should. It's not worth it to lose the features that samsung added to this phone. If I wanted to do that I could have kept my note 1 running cm9.

As you are well aware, Blackmarket Alpha is a warez site. Your editing skills are marvellous. Idiot.
AOKP (or CM, or AOSPA..) all the way. Retains the functionality of the S-Pen and only loses multiwindow, which I don't find useful anyway. Also, it allows me to use the latest version of Android (4.2.2) which has a useful account manager that lets my friends use a completely separate account from me.
I don't necessarily dislike Touchwiz but it's not as aesthetically pleasing, and I have a hard time understanding why it's about 500MB heavier than AOSP.

Discussion: TouchWiz 4.1.2 vs. Android 4.3

Hello.
I'm in the mood for some discussion. Currently waging which rom to install on my note, TouchWiz or latest android (4.3). How would you people rate a 4.1.2 rom built on correct sources against the latest version of Android? Performance, battery and user friendly wise.
Bring it on!
/pemell
This is the original Galaxy Note (GT-N7000) forum.
Jeez, just realised that. Was looking my ass off to find my thread
Actually, I own a N7000 device too so why not let it stay, I'll just change the op a little.
Built on correct sources? Grmpf... They (Samsung) don't provide proper sourced, but if they did, I would prefer an aftermarket firmware version of Android 4.3 with correct sources over a Gingerbread UI built Touchwiz rom... Or even a Galaxy Note Google Edition would suite my Note well
but... how is an aosp 4.3 in comparison with TW 4.1.2? i searched a lot but i dont find any comments about the batterie or the overal performance... and what about the spen? is there a note taking app in aosp?
Touchjeez sux!
I'd rather trust my nethers to a lunatic with a Burdizzo than have TW on my Note.
it is so simple
if you are looking for speed , stability and up-to-date go with aosp or cm
if you you want s-pen stuff and more useless stuff like smart stay the tw will be your target
P.s : i bought the note just for the spen feature so i think i will stick with TW for a while

AA1973, chasmodo, you're still here in the n7000 section. Even if I never knew you by person or chatted with you on this forum It was heart touching seeing your replies in this thread.
I'm on SlimBean v.8 stable currently on my N7105 and jellybeer on my N7000. I'm thinking of switching to TW on my N7105 to get the best out of the battery. My knowledge says TW has better battery life. I might be wrong.
A deal breaker for me is that I had my current theme chooser theme ported for touchwiz.
I don't use SPen in a daily basis but now and then when I have to annotate picture, my Note shines. Once I had to go buy handbag for my lady and there were two dozen at the store neatly decorated. I snapped, numbered them from 1 to 20 using SPen and sent picture through Whatsapp.
If one buys Note to put ROM that doesn't support SPen, then I don't understand why they buy Note at all?

You don't need to understand. Of course, the SPen does work. Not identically as on a Touchdizz Rom, but you're able to draw 1-20 on pictures, fore sure
Papyrus, Jotter, Gnote, Memo Beta, Skitch are some apps as alternative to S-Not.

but chief you are going to miss a lot of features like gestures and s-note and i did not find a decent alternate to s-note yet
I only got the Note for its Hardware so i can stick an AOSP inside in it.
I dont use Stylus. Never wanted to.
4.1.2 vs 4.3 is Light years a head Maybe more than a year when you can think of an update if they are even planning to provide one.
You never know Samsung can surprise us

The most important gestures *for me* are integrated in CM, AOSPA, slimbean etc: Left, right, up and down swipe as well as long press and double tap.
Actions to be chosen are back, home, menu, recent apps or you choose a specific app to be launched. That's enough for me.
No, personally, I think I do not miss S-note and I definitely do not miss Touchwiz
The infamous screenshot feature via S-Pen or the hand can easily be replaced
The SPen wasn't the killer feature and reason I bought the Note. It was nice to have, but not a must have for me. The main reason at that moment of time was the screen size and some other hardware specs. But this is way OT for a 4.12 vs 4.3 discussion
I was thinking of buying a new phone because touchwiz was so slow now and I thought that was the norm of phones used for more than a year.
As last desperation I installed asylum 4.3 and I just saved myself a whack of money because finally this phone is usable again.

Off-Topic - Discussion about Galaxy Tab Pro !

I´ve made this thread so people can discuss here about the 3 tablets:
8.4, 10.1 and 12.2 !
Which apps are u using on your Galaxy Tab Pro?
Which launcher are u using?
Or do you want to share something?
I´ll start :
I buyed my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 WIFI last week and i love the device because it´s so cheap !
It works like a charm !
Only the annoying noise is annoying
But i move my mind over it
I´m using the following launchers recently:
Modified Stock Launcher
SPB Launcher ( 10,45$ )
Google Now Launcher
I just love the stock launcher the most, i have a modified one so it´s fast enough
If you want something else and you have money then i recommend buying SPB Launcher
SPB is old but gold, it is a really famous launcher a couple of years ago.
But i installed it on my 8.4 and it's not perfect for tablets you can better go with modified stock launcher or Google Now Launcher .
SPB is well the beautifulst launcher for phones .
I was using Google Now launcher on my 8.4 because i thought it was better for battery but i feel more connected with the tablet while using stock launcher so i searched for a faster one and i found the modified one in the 8.4 apps section here on XDA !
Then i had to find a way to make my battery better so i tried a combination of greenify and wanam exposed
In greenify i greenified all the apps except tapatalk and i applied boost mode and some other little settings and in wanam exposed have i enabled benchmarking boost that is originally for antutu benchmarking test but it makes your device a beast and in combination with greenify will it not affect your battery
Now i will also going to flash that beast mode kernel to make it even more a beast
Cheers!
And now it´s your turn!
Got a tab 8.4 wifi for almost a month. Rooted and installed lite pRom with beast kernel. Using google now launcher. Been using it mostly for gaming(brave frontier and coc) and checking mails. I really like this tab except that wifi drops if you hold it in the lower left corner. Sucks to be right handed.

But i love this tablet anyway

Yup, the tab pro is cheap but the hw is powerful.
The wifi behaved just as described but not 'disconnecting'.
I am still using the stock launcher with quite a number of unwanted apps being frozen..including the magazine. I'm quite satisfied with the speed now.
I had install the nova and it's good for phone but I felt the stock launcher could be more appropriated for a tablet.
Just want to know why the spb ?

who uses the stock Magazine UX launcher on their Tab Pro? Do you use the tile widgets to access information? I'm not a fan of Magazine UX, but I don't hate either. I want to see if I'll get used to it, or learn to like it. I see alot of negative comments, but zero positive ones. I figure if I wanted an AOSP style device, I should've got an AOSP device. My previous tablet was a Nexus 7 (2013). I own a 2012 N7 and used to own a N4, plus I used AOSP ROMs on my S4 before. I think AOSP is too plain/boring. Magazine UX is cumbersome, but it's different. I'm rambling. My question is: Do you use the Magazine UX and how do you use it?
Got my tab pro 8.4 a mont ago and since them I'm using Cyanogenmod 11 with nova laucher.
I really hate touch wiz and samsung android modifications, so I bought just to use cyanogenmod

Good choice bro, i'm also using this ( CM11 ) now for enjoying Theme engine.
Themes are really beautiful on the 8.4 !
I highly recommend Nova or Apex when you're using icons and Google Now Launcher when you're don't using custom icons

In the Magazine UX, once I add various sections, do I need to refresh them constantly, or do they update with new content like it does with HTC Blink?
My tablet hasn't arrived yet (12.2 Pro) so I'm getting ready for it, to me it seems all the content in launcher would be nice, if it works correctly. What are some other tips you guys can offer?

I actually tried Nova and Google Launcher. It is still TouchWiz underneath. Actually i can careless of the S-Pen. I like the note line cause of the screen and the spec. LOL...Maybe i give it a try with the Note 4 since it will come with the new TouchWiz. Hopefully they optimize it.
So, if we install Nova, TW is still there, and we do not lose any of the Note 4 TW functionality?
Correct if you run a 3rd party launcher TW is still running in the background but not an issue in terms of the perceived lag crap people claim. Different launchers offer different benefits and you can use custom icons to make your phone pop. You will retain all of the Notes S-Pen functions and anything else TW offers under the skin.

What I would lose not using Touchwiz UI?

(never used touchwiz before)
Maybe S-Pen menu won't appear?
What about multiple windows on a single screen?
etc.
How deeply touchwiz was integrated in Note 3 case?
If you change your launcher - all TW funcionality: multiwindow, s-pen will work too I recommend google now launcher. Simple and fast

I have a nexus 5 and note 3. Touchwiz is necessary for all major advertised features such as the multiwindow, spen window, ultra power saving mode etc. So yes without touchwiz you are losing a fundamental part of the phone. however, in my instance I run touchwiz and aosp roms on my note 3. I have duplicated many features that is touchwiz based on a stock android rom. It takes multiple apps and doesn't work exactly the same but does overall the same things. With the note 4 there are many more features in the Spen so you will be taking a bigger hit switching from touchwiz to stock android.
Edit: Also, the stock touchwiz camera is lost and A LOT of its features such as 4k video recording. and it seems the quality on the touchwiz cam is better than google or aosp camera. There are some close alternatives for the camera however.
Well... that pretty much answers my question.
Thanks.
Touchwiz for me then.

Hi,
I used TW for a few days and now switched to Nova.
Really can't find anything that doesn't work compared to TW.
Both sidebars (nav keys and app shortcuts) work, stylus menu works.
Anybody noticed any Note (3 or 4) features that doesn't work with a non stock launcher?
Thanks!!

care to elaborate
The topic is about using a custom launcher on the stock Note 4 ROM.
So all the features you mentioned (mukti window, spen, ultrapower saving etc) works perfectly fine with Nova launcher.

The topic is about using a custom launcher on the stock Note 4 ROM.
So all the features you mentioned (mukti window, spen, ultrapower saving etc) works perfectly fine with Nova launcher.

Gotcha. I misunderstood your first post. When you referred to the "touchwiz ui" and how deeply touchwiz was integrated, I assumed you meant if you were to flash an aosp rom instead of a custom launcher :good:
