Hey guys,
Assuming I buy a Note 3, can I uninstall TouchWiz and install stock Android look (like the Nexus 5), will I still be able to use the S-Pen? Like being able to click the button to have the menu pop up?
I don't want TouchWiz, but I still want to use the stylus pen.
Thanks

Use an AOSP ROM -you won't be able to use Samsung's SPen features, you'll have to use an alternative which can be found in the PlayStore.

I always use Wizz Bar, but now it won't work once I updated to ICS. Now I'm sad I updated. Anyone know how to get it working?
could not find it on play

is the developer probably ask them if they are working on a android 4 version?
they are also on here SnowBEE
re: wizzbar
That was one of my biggest disappointments with ICS on the a500 but after discovering Nova Launcher where I can customize launch icons on the bottom... it's similar without being able to hide the icons but I find it to be a great substitute. Might give it a whirl. works great on my tab running flexreaper
Unfortunately, the ICS is currently common, application compatibility is not due to different OS. I agree, sad as the refusal of applications for Android 4.0.3.
Has anyone come across an alternative to Wizz Bar?
I do miss this App on my Tablet.
GMD gesture control.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontrol&hl=en
it has a "launchpad" feature which does exactly what you're asking for. you can assign whatever gesture you want to bring it up.
Unfortunately it requires root, sadly which my work would not allow to happen.

I'm a huge fan of GMD Gesture Control but App Clip and ReLaunch can replace Gesture Control's LaunchPad feature really well. I don't think they require root but I'm not 100% sure..
It really sucks that Wizz Bar isn't going to be updated for ICS, but I'm running the TegraOwners ROM and can 'pin' apps to the combined bar anyway, which I think is a great approach to this problem and something I hoped would be possible while I was still watching YouTube videos trying to decide on a tablet to buy.. Hopefully one of these guys over on xda can get the same feature working eventually

Wave launcher is somewhat similwr. Not exact, but it's really good. Even better on phones than tablets.
Hi Everyone,
I want the android native dialer on my Nexus 7 tablet because it supports SIP natively. I don't like other SIP software. Is there any way I can port it to my Nexus 7?
Maybe copy contents of the /etc/systems/permissions/ from a phone to the Nexus 7?
Please let me know if this has been done before or should work.
Thanks,
Why not just use like Text+ or TextFree. You can make calls using wifi.
Why use anything non-native if native application can be used?
Robustness, simplicity, guaranteed updates, no bloat-ware, etc...are some of the many reasons why one wants to use stock software.
I'm sorry, did you just say "no bloat-ware" as a pro for running stock?
I'm confused, because there's all this bloatware stock programming on my Captivate Glide that I can't get rid of unless I root my phone and wipe it.

That's why I use a "GOOGLE" Nexus 7 which si very flexible and rooted.
Now, back to the topic, has anyone got the native dialer running on a device that doesn't have it on stock.
Thanks,
Same here.
I am also interested in trying to get the stock dialer onto my Note 8 tablet. Bump?
Hey guys,
I am just wondering, if I flash an AOKP type ROM to my Note 3, will I lose the features of the S-PEN and the Smart Watch ??
I am currently using my s3 with SentinelRom which is AOKP/Linaro based.
If I use the same or a similair rom, will I still be able to take advantage of the S-PEN features and the Smart Watch sync ?
If not, then what sort of ROM will I need to go for that allows this and allows my to choose themes ?
thanks !

Sounding a little cliche but there's always an app for that. Check out Pen Window Launcher it lets you use floating windows without needing to remove the pen. And for the smart watch? I don't know about that.

Where did you find a AOSP/AOKP - ROM?
Greetings boomshaker
I am not a fan of the hardware buttons sich as home, back etc with which note 3 comes, and am wondering whethear i can use the note 3 (with a custom rom of course) mich like a nexus 5 with on screen Software buttons, not having to press the built in buttons. Is this possible? I am Currently in LG g2 and i am loving it but also want the bigger screen. Thanks in advance
Once you have the Note 3, Google is your friend.
There are stand alone mods to do it, and some custom roms include it too.

Thank you guys both! Seems like the combination custom Rom to get rid oft touch wiz and the gravity box will do the job.. I habe seen a YouTube Video on the gravity box, it seems to have a lot of smart and usefull tweaks.
Try X-note ROM. On app X tranformer, it have option for exactly you want. Sry for bad Eng
Hi,
Is there any way to reverse the Back and Recent hardware buttons on the S4 mini (i9195)?
I'm currently using Lineage 17.1, so I know it's possible to enable on-screen navigation (with the back button on the left and the recent on the right) but I don't want to use on-screen buttons.
I've seen there are some apps that claim they can reverse these buttons, but it seems like overkill to install an always-on app (possibly containing ads and/or spyware) just to have these buttons reversed.
Is there no simple hack that can do this? (preferably without needing root)
Thanks for any help.

Although not an immediate solution, it may be of interest to know that your wish is possible on my S4mini Value Edition (i9195i) using an amazingly wonderful ROM call'd ColtOS. (I also have a regular original S4mini (i9195) using Lineage 17.1, but would prefer to use ColtOS if only somebody would build it.)
Interesting to know that very option is included in ColtOS! Shame the ROM is not available for the i9195, although I think I'd prefer to stick with Lineage for now anyway, just wish there was a simple solution to this buttons issue...
You can use button remaper, i used it with the stock rom and its work great!
