I don't want to lose access to the Samsung Stock Camera app. The HDR feature is incredibly good. Which roms actually include it, or is it easy enough to put back in if a rom doesn't.
Thanks

Any touchwiz based ROM will have it. I don't know if it can be implemented on any AOSP ROM's since some TW apps only work on TW framework.

I'm confused which roms are touchwiz based, does JFLTE mean that?

No, JFLTE is just a device/variant name of the S4. Touchwiz is the software running on the device. Usually just look at the rom title and it will include "TW" or "Android 4.xw/TW". Also if you read the features of the rom it will usally say based on Samsung Touchwiz or whatnot.
The other software versions are: AOSP, CM, GE/Google Edition. (Which would mean they are not Touchwiz roms)
Anything recent? no AOSP Roms please.
Are there any touchwiz 4.4.2 roms made specifically for users of the old bootloader?

I recommend this one, based on stock TW 4.4.2, works on the old boot loader no problem. Updated all the time with newer firmware and plenty of add-ons to choose from.

I've been doing that, but being on the old bootloader means allot of the TW roms don't work quite right and I end up wasting allot of time flashing and reading through pages and pages of reply's..
Thread closed as its basically a Best ROM thread.
hi guys. don't be upset about. I've read 5 initial posts now from 5 different roms but nowhere was stated that s-pen features still work as with official samsung firmware.
so. no this is not a 'what rom best' thread, and don't name any of those who do or don't. but are there any????
thanks!

if the rom is based on stock firmware then yes all s pen features work, if it's cm or any cm based roms then they don't work

and aosp/aopk?
those are the ones I would prefer. but those aren't based on stock firmware. so they don't support s-pen?

Nope, as they are based on CM. You could install apps similar to the spen features but its no way near as close to stock I'm afraid.

I'd like to know if there are any ROMs that keep most Samsung features like S-Pen functionalities and multiwindow?
Looks like X-Note does that. Not sure. Omega? CM?

Omega http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470441
Ask in the question section next time.
Literally anything that's based on stock firmware (Touchwiz).

Samsung features and its bloatware, can only be found at Touchwiz based ROM, as this ROM is from Samsung itself.
CM & AOSP or AOKP is not TW-ROM, therefore, if you need those samsung features & bloatwares, you will not see them on these 3 types of ROM by default.
Just go into development forum of Note 3 of your device, and find any rom which TW base, you should be fine.
cheers.
Hey,
been a while since I been here(from back in the days of my Galaxy Nexus). I just picked up a Note 4. I like it. I somewhat dislike the TouchWiz and hate how out of box it's using 1.8-2GB of ram on start up(assuming because of TouchWiz).
Is there any roms out there that run practically stock Android(pref. 5.0 Lollipop?) but still have the S-Pen suite enabled, including the part when I pull my S-Pen out it notices it and gives me that "Air command" menu.
One last plus would be something that gives me the ability to still use fast charge 2.0.
I looked up a couple of roms but unless I missed something they don't offer these features.
Any help? I have the Canadian N910W8 model and use it on Band 4 AWS/UMTS(3G) and LTE on various freq's so the radio would(should, preferably stay in-tacked)
Thanks!
I don't think this belongs in this section man, maybe ask it in the Q and A. It will probably get moved.
On answering your question, at this stage there is no stock aosp rom that supports spen functions. It's a little bit of a dream for most users. Although I hear that lollipop will be faster than stock, that's what I've read.

That's wrong. There is S-Pen functionality in cm12 at this moment. All you have to do is download and install one or two apps from Play Store. This apps are even free.
It is CM S-Pen en Note Buddy. I have installed them myself and S-Pen does work.
Found this the other day https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.spenlauncher&hl=en
Im running cm12 with the following
s pen launcher
cm s pen add on
note buddy
papyrus
this gives me basic s pen functions but is more than adequate for my needs

You are not entirely right either. There are free versions of this apps, but for full functionality you have to pay, not that there is anything wrong with it, just stating the fact. Also you have some s-pen functionality, but not all of it, and in my opinion CM12 s-pen functionality is somewhat less fluent and intuitive then TW one. Regardless, I still prefer CM than TW
I would also like to know how is this thread relevant to Development section

Be careful throwing around the word 'wrong'. I did say as far as I know, just trying to help someone out. There is apps you can use with cm or some other aosp roms, but it's nothing like the spen features you get from within TW. Not that I'm a big fan of it myself, I have quite a few gripes myself, *cough* performance... But for the multi window and spen features, presently if you use them all, TW is it for now.

I have the same phone as you. So far LiquidSmooth and the Unofficial CM-12.0 are the only Lollipop builds that can even use the S-Pen (Unless you know of others). You won't get the TW features of course. I'm very slowly looking into building a AOSP Lollipop rom that is custom built for our N910W8 devices. I've never built my own before so it is a lot of learning.

It *should* be doing that. Unused RAM is wasted RAM. It's caching stuff for speed so that the next time it needs to load up something, it can check if it still is in RAM already. It's not a TouchWiz thing.

You can still install it on other versions of the Note 4. Just expect some things not to work. If your running the CAN version of the Note 4 I don't recommend using LS atm due to very poor battery life on this model.

Not a problem!
Has anyone tried converting all the original s-pen apps to user apps with titanium backup, and then doing an app and data backup of them from the stock ROM, installing CM12, and then try to install them?
I'd try it myself, but I'm asking on behalf of a mate, not for myself. I think there's a possibility that it might work. It's gotta be worth a try..
I've got CM12 on my S4, and it's awesome.
Now the omega touchwiz rom are released:
imo the best rom and all features would work like in stock.
try i..maybe what you seeking?
