Hey guys and girls
I understand that custom launchers still allow the s-pen functions to operate.
However, will a custom rom say a cm10.1 based rom allow this as well as allow the syncing between the note and the smart watch?
If not, how could I over come this, I want a cm10.1 which allows me to use all the s=pen functions and smart watch functions properly..
Appreciate any help.
Have you ever read what Cm is all about??
You will loose all TW functions and Smartwatch will notbwork properley.

Hey mate, thanks for the answer, not entirely sure what xposed framework is... Theme chooser either.
I am using a cm10.1 based ROM and I can choose the theme on that but not on my previous ROM which was touchwiz based?

xposed module is something that only requires root to work and give u the ability to make a LOT of changes on your system, one of them is theme chooser that lets u choose a theme and apply it into your system. if you want touchwiz features + cm "kind of look", give it a try
I don't know when did the rumor started, but with cyanogenmod you can use the spen, however, you cannot use multiwindows, pen-window and all the custom features of touchwiz. But you do have pressure sensitivity in apps that support it (like sketchbook pro, paryrus, lecturenotes..), and if you buy gmd spen control you can use custom gestures in all the apps, like installing a floating memo and launching it with the pen button pressed and doing a double tap ( in an old paranoid android i used in the n7000 gestures where baked in the rom itself).
Unfortunately the smartwatch will not work unless samsung updates the thing to pair with all android phones, because right now it needs very recent versions of touchwiz.
Im so sorry about my english.:silly:

Thank you all, I think my best way of going about things is to get a good stock based ROM and use that xposed module to choose my custom theme at the same time using my spen and touchwiz features. Is this correct??:victory:

Which touchwiz features are you trying to keep exactly? Most, if not all, can be replicated on an AOSP rom.
More so the s-pen features. I am running aosp ROM on my s3 ATM fine... But obviously with the note I would be looking at using s-pen perhaps even the watch.. I don't think I can do that with aosp can I ?

GMD gesture control will allow for many many additional Stylus gestures and commands. Also, an app called ink over apps is a good replacement to the screen write.

I used to multi-task by opening two apps at the same time by splitting the screen using the stock rom - TW's multi-window feature. I missed it when I was trying custom roms. Just wondering if we have other options or alternative. Thanks a lot.

Nop.
You can try YouTube popup or other apps that have mods for it. Just another gimmick feature for cm lovers as most of us on it do not care about these gimmicks. And cm is built from aosp and doesn't include anything related to tw framework.
yes there's one!

there are few Xposed modules like XMultiWindow, XFloating Window which I used when I was in CM11.
But those weren't 100% perfect though. give them a try if those modules are compatible in Lollipop
Sorry, but I did a bit of thread cleaning. Please just try and answer the question at hand please. No reason to take pot shots at other users!
Thanks!
Would it be possible to add pixel home button animation to cm 14.1rom?

No.
The idea behind it is to make it a vanilla CM ROM without bugs and workarounds so it gets official status and updates are seamless then on.
Doing such modifications will deter that concept. So no such modification would be made by the dev normally.

Substratum has bootloop
So, I'm currently thinking on switching from stock to a custom ROM, and this is one of the biggest questions for me right now.
I have got used to the fingerprint navigation gestures and I think they're great, so I would like to know if you people know of a ROM that has this feature or if there is at least an app that can replicate them in the exact same way.
Thanks in advance.
PS: I'm also looking for suggestions of which ROM to switch to, I'm just looking for something stable enough, with great features, but closest to stock as possible. All suggestions except Lineage OS are welcome. Thanks again.

Switch to AOKP ROM. It has that FP Gesture. And Everyother rom has that feature.

So you're saying all roms have the feature, but AOKP is the best (or the suggestion you would give to me) ?
What are the things you think are better on AOKP than on Stock, or how would you compare them?
Btw, would you mind uploading or sharing some pictures of AOKP? Like settings, SystemUI tuner, demo mode, additional settings for the rom, notifications panel, etc... ??
I checked the rom thread but the pictures there are basically useless for me. Thanks in advance.

Lineage OS is great, it has fingerprint gestures, Motorola actions (twist, chop etc.) and plenty of other features to enhance your G5 P.

I decided to give it a try. It has some inconsistencies and their configuration app looks really bad. I went with AOSPExtended, and currently loving it.

Lineage OS has inconsistent colors in settings, I have requested them to fix it too many times, and they just ignore the issue when all they have to do is change a line of code. I'm not ever going to use Lineage OS again.
Try Validus Rom
Hey guys, the one thing I liked about the stock ROM was that I could make the screen really dark and really bright. It's much more limited on the AOSP ROMs I've tried. Is there any ROM that gives me more control over brightness?
its the way they designed android pie which is stupid af. also tested it on my friends android one device its the same as the custom roms on lavender.

Wait, but stock Xiaomi ROM for this device is also Pie!

yup but its a heavily skinned pie. just like any other oem os. most custom rom devs prefer closer stock android experience.

Yeah, but Xiaomi actually fixes the bull**** google does to Android, that's why it takes longer for us to get android updates.

But brightness levels have nothing to do with skinning, no? If Xiaomi could change it, so could any other dev maybe?
My other two gripes with MIUI are the stupid notification behaviour and lack of colored music notifications + album art as background (yes that's important!) ?.
is there a fix?

I feel the album art as background too, but i prefer to stay on MIUI for better stability overall, plus i got really used to the MIUI skin so i don't feel like changing.

But how about notification behavior? I totally hated that because I want all my unread notifs to always stay in the notif bar + lockscreen.
Also, what is the best place to suggest / discuss implementing changes to MIUI? The official forums seem either dead or I get generic replies and little views.

I believe you'd have to enter the closed beta program to do that, the inscription is not always open though, you'd have to check mi community for more info.
Thanks.
While we're talking - does anyone else have the issue where 4G doesn't reconnect after calls? Sometimes it does after a longer while, but it's much quicker to enable/disable airplane more to get it to reconnect. I actually remember having a similar issue while on the stock ROM too.
