Coming from a Galaxy Nexus I really miss the look of standard ICS and it's keyboard CRT animations, launcher, lock screen etc.
Is there a ROM I can install which has all this, plus Samsung pen apps?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Not exactly afaik, but check RocketROM v06 + Apex/Nova Launcher + Go Locker with ICS theme). ...should give you CRT animations, the locker, the launcher (which you should be able to test now as well, if you already are on ICS).

The AOKP rom is likely the best for you see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683879

Sod the pen apps if you want a true Nexus feel you'll have to go aokp or cm9 I personally prefer aokp as everything works even tethering. The pen still works too, just not the S apps so you can still use it to browse and type etc.

You won't find any AOSP ROM's with S-Pen apps like S-Memo, but you can install a couple of other ones from the Play Store. Can't remember their names, but search after "s-pen" and you'll find it.
I'm not that worried about the Samsung apps to be honest. I guess what I should have said is that I want the pen to work as accurately as it does on stock.
I actually use an app called quill to take notes on.

Msorry mate, can't have stock-look and S-pen apps. The apps are coded to work with the TouchWiz framework.
The best you can do, I guess, is a launcher like Nova or Apex.
Paranoid is just plain awesome... based on cm9 so no touchwizz apps, but incredibly configurable and pure ics feel. Well worth a look. I think the threads currently closed short term, but it'll be back up shortly with an update. VERY stable!

So I'm still unclear, sorry.
If I install aokp, it wont have the s-pen apps, but does the stylus still work? So I can use a 3rd party drawing app, accurately.

Now that ICS has come to the Xoom, has anyone tried installing Nova Launcher on it? Any issues to be aware of before trying it?
I really like it on my GNex and want to use it for both devices, if possible.

I think you're kinda wrong, at least for Nova. If you look in the settings for Nova, there are settings for a Dock. And when shown on other devices (Galaxy Nexus from what I've seen) there is a dock.

Beta 13
Home screen transition animations => stack
Starts messing up the ability to use icons on the screen... clicking on icons makes the launcher think you are trying to turn pages...

I had a few minor problems with mine when I tried on cm9 it was like the apps became part of the background and would not move but I deleted and re installed without an issue. I prefer the stock cm9 just fine I only run it at 1.2 compared to the usual 1.5 its so smooth.

I wonder if it's possible to rip the software from the S III and port it to the galaxy note. Do you guys think it's possible to see roms running this? On HTC phones it happens but I haven't seen that ever happen with a samsung phone. Any thoughts?
I doubt it would be a direct port, however I'm sure some functionality can be ported via apks

I think the tw launcher is balls but all the other touchwiz stuff is class, I'm just gutted we lost the screen brightness in statusbar! We need that back!
I don't know why people hate the new touchwiz so much. It looks great, and it is the SMOOTHEST launcher I have ever seen. Just look at a video of the S III. There isn't a single stutter. And I love the 3D animations it does when you switch between pages. I also like the shadows that icons have now with the new touchwiz.

No offense guys, if you want to have yet ANOTHER war on favorite launchers, which btw is extremely pointless as every person has their preferences on launchers (apex this, nova that, go launcher ftw, apex rules, etc. etc....), then take it to another thread. The OP here is reaching out to Devs and other members of the XDA community about the possibility of adding some touchwiz 5 features to our beloved Note, or even porting it over completely ( which doesn't sound plausible ). I for one would love the new voice recognition and the lock screen effect is pretty slick, so +1 to those features .
Guys, sorry if this is a dumb question. And sorry about my English.
Well, I need to say that I'm really jealous about Galaxy Nexus users and their original Android, with those main buttons on the screen, etc.
So, could you please say what's the most original Android ROM for Galaxy Note? The most similar possible to the original Galaxy Nexys ROM. Including those screen buttons!
Thanks so much!

AOKG roms have more modifications than CM9. CM9 is more like AOSP that can run on any device. AOKP is like AOSP with highly customizable user experience, lots of new features to do with the launcher, system etc.

Ok, got it! After watching YouTube reviews about AOKP I saw that I can even change/add those softwares buttons in the botton of the screen. Pretty nice!
In terms of stability/bugs, at this time, CM9 is better than AOKP, right? Or they are the same?
My personal experience was that AOKP had a very slight performance edge but it suffered from SOD issues. CM9 has been stable and I am very happy with it.

Yeah, you are right, but this may not be a serious problem for me as I never use S-Pen. And this is so true that I have Galaxy Note since march and the only time I used S-Pen for real was playing with a friend that game that we use "#" and put "x" and "o" in the spaces.

After reading a lot, this is what I think also. Same stuff of CM9 + lots of customization. What I'm afraid is that I'm reading more bug/reboots/problems reports on AOKP.
And don't you prefer the original ICS visual? Don't know why, but I didn't like this Galaxy S 3 design, both in phisical and software terms!

Thanks again! I'll give a try to AOKP and wait for Jelly Bean on CM10.
And I need to say that even now, using the official Samsung LPT 4.0 ROM, I have sometimes some problems, even random reboots! So these kind of problems really can happen everywhere, with everyone, anytime.
But one thing is for sure. My goodbye to Samsung ROMs! (At least I don't use S-Pen!)
The pen works fine on CM9. You just can't use any of the button functions, but that's not a huge deal to me. Palm rejection was finally added, which is what I was waiting for the most.

Dunno about the date of the build, but it's 2.2 version from Play Store downloaded like a week ago, thought I had it as soon as I got the update on my SGSII. I installed it on my wife's phone (SIII Mini), set up and all works as it should (as on my SGSII), no FC, no errors at all. It shows unread notifications on home screen and in menu as it is supposed to.
Maybe it's cause of a really clean installs as this SIII Mini is a brand new phone, few flashes and mods only (essentials).
