If Cyanogenmod is put on a Note 3, do I lose any of these features?
- The waterdrop animation on lock screen
- The ability to use S Pen (Screen Write, etc)
- Multi window

Screen animations can be re-added, just not the Samsung one from Stock.
Official SPen features are lost, but there is GMD_Spen which is a great replacement.
You can use Multi-Window with AOSB CM edition.

Thank you very much for your responses.
They've helped me make my decision between CyanogenMod and TouchWiz.

Hello all,
I am using ICS Stunner Beta 4.3 and happy with it but S-Pen not working properly in Note App like Jotter or Freenote. Palm rejection isn't working properly (when my hand touch the screen, S-Pen got disabled). Is this common problem in ICS Stunner or because I only did dirty install (coming from other ICS Rom) ?
The s-pen functionality is not implemented in AOSP-Roms like ICS-Stunner, because it needs TW
I see, thanks for the information
Is there any ICS ROM capable on palm rejection right now ?

As a matter of fact, yes. Check out ALBA's ROM here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579301
It is pure TW and has full support in the S-Memo app. The only thing that seems to be wrong right now is the S-Memo Lite application, but you will be using it only if you hold the stylus button and double tap on the screen. This is not a deal breaker, I suppose.
But you are gonna have to live with TW

So wrong this information, s pen works with aosp. Your confusung with s memo app that does not work with aosp because that app needs TW. All other s pen apps on market works.

I see, so problem I experienced (S-Pen got disabled by hand) isn't ROM problem but because I didn't clean install ICS Stunner ? Maybe users with ICS Stunner can share their answer.
Yes. the palm rejection doesn't work either in my device.

Do you clean install ICS Stunner ? I want to clean install it but I think it isn't the solution
same problem here with stunner..I also need a way to recalibrate touchscreen after it decides to apply a delightful offset......
Figure this...
I rooted my Note3 and happily installed CyanogenMod11 nightly (KK4.4.2). All fine and very happy, but I miss the S Pen features and apps.
How would it be possible to get S Pen features back, but remain on CM11?

You cannot get all the features back however you can try
GMD SPen control, as it has some SPen functions, used it myself without issue.
for pie control and more i use LMT.
great app ! would be cool if you could trigger the pie with the s pen button.

Hmmm... GMD looks promising. Thanks alot. But... does your answer also mean I can forget about re-flashing S-Pen API separately somehow, and re-flashing the original S-Pen apps? Is that a totally stupid idea?
I know some of you readers will think "well, why did you root and flash another rom from the begining, if you liked it before?". Well it was originally full of bloat - we all know that - and the only thing worthy was the S-Pen features and the pen itself.
Anyone tried?
Thanks again.

Yeah you can't flash SPen stuff due to it being dependent on the TouchWiz framework.

I like the menu pop up when you click the pen, to take screen shots and take a quick note. Honestly I rely on them daily since I use my phone for work also, I probably wont flash due to this.
MultiView was an amazing feature and obviously the talking point of this rom for many including myself. With some other Samsung products (new TabPro 12.2) you can even have as many as 4 things on screen at once. What do you guys think the future of MultiView will be and what things do you all want to see? For me personally, I want to see better integration with HALO))) and being able to drag a window around and snap it into place. Then, once you have one of them dragged to the side, it would act like multi view again.

You can do this through a custom rom (Paranoid Android or PAC rom should do the trick) or by using the HALO))) Xposed module on a rooted phone. Hope this helped.

(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 use Nova now and I'm happy. But my phone is Nexus and I don't loose any phone's functionality with Nova, because Nexus phone doesn't have any.
Thanks for answer.

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.

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:
I have just got my Note 4 from the launch event yesterday. I am quite disappointed to see that within a folder, I can only put 3 icons on horizontal instead of 4 in Note 3. So If i were to put lots of icons in Note 3 and Note 4 folders, the former can fit up to 20 without scrolling and the Note 4 can do 12. There are just simply too much gaps between the icons and this is waste
Anyway to change the grid similar to touchwiz stock in Note 3?
what is the draw back using Nova i.e. some samsung bloatware won't work? Can Nova import my folder and sort from touchwiz?
Thanks

The vast majority of Samsung features will work even under Nova. Multi window, etc. There may be a few widgets that are specific to tw, but that should be all.

I owned Nova Prime, will give it a shot again. I prefer TouchWiz since it seems to be smooth this time running but with these inefficient design.
How do you feel about the single screen setting page? We have gone back to Jelly Bean.

I personally feel that I don't buy a phone for a settings page. I buy it for other things. I find that if I need to be in the settings page more than once every few weeks then the phone has failed in other ways too.
What really gets me, on my note 2 at least, is how no matter what I do, or which rom I am on, when I press the phone button, it takes too darn long to load the dial keypad. That should be the fastest thing on the phone... The phone app.
