Hi guys! I've been browsing a little the Development section and i'm really conflicted
i can't stand touchwiz, it's kinda useless and ugly, in facts i've been using nova launcher prime in the last months, and i really like PA and even stock (nexus) look. But Galaxy Note was meant to be used with the stylus, which i honestly enjoy, and i really like SNote and Paper Artist apps.
Is there a way to have a stock-looking ROM with SOME of the samsung apps? (sure not samsung account, they really messed something up with JB update battery-wise)
Thanks in advance and sorry for the bad english
As your question is a question, you should have asked it in Q&A.
No S-Apps will run on AOSP based ROMs (AOSPA, Super nexus...) or CM based ROMs. But you'll find alternative apps on the market or on xda to replace the (in)famous S-Note. Papyrus, memo beta, GNote, just to name a few.
really sorry for the wrong section, how dumb of me!
Thanks for the answer
AW: [advice]which rom?

To add some more you can use Google Keep or PicsArt for drawing. My best Rom is the MiUI because I like the iPhone UI.

Ok, this is a serious question guys.
I am coming from a HTC Inspire 4G, where a full ROM was under a hundred meg, why is it even with almost everything removed, ROMs for my beloved Note are over 300meg..?
Look forward to everyones answers!!
Cheers
FYI your Inspire's stock Sense ROM is over 350MB. Sense and TouchWiz are big ROMs with added features and so on. The ROMs under 100MB is CM7 and MIUI. Since we don't have these for the Note yet, we'll have to settle with TouchWiz ROMs for the time being.

I install Zeam straight away once I install a ROM, what are the features that TouchWiz offers?! I doubt I use any of them lol.
Totally forgot Inspire was sense I installed a clean ASOP rom as soon as I got it.
Probably been answered a hundreds time around here but I can't find anything for SGN, how do i build my own ROM a guide would be awesome, I'd really love to throw together an ASOP inspired ROM and try and get the size down and speed up!

They're not just the UI, it's also the apps.
Android itself doesn't support S-Pen in 2.3, so that's Samsung.
The calendar app - samsung
widgets - samsung
custom apps and UI (like rubberbanding effects, custom font setting, etc)
There are a lot of under the hood things that has been changed. Touchwiz is something essential for ANY ROM and it takes A LOT of work to remove it. I mean A LOT. Samsung designed it to be run with Touchwiz, so any dev. has to work a lot to get everything working fine without any touchwiz and that's a lot of work.
And the numbers of pixels of Note is 2.6 times of WVGA. So, all the graphic files for the UI will be larger too.
hey guys, i think the galaxy note has the best hardware..but it is useless in terms of software...i mean sense is way better than it...i have many issues regarding software, like the contacts sync with the facebook...pic quality is very low and it doesnt allow me to save contacts by the name i want...and many more...so i was looking for a rom...with no touchwiz ui...bt i dnt know wether s pen apps will work on tha or not...i just wanted a rom with s pen apps n no touch wiz ui...can u guys plz suggest me that...i am on lb2...i know ill have o downgrade for it....
But I save contacts in the name I want.If you dont like TW try any other launchers like go-launcher from market
I tried...bt i want a different rom...with s pen apps...

What are you on about here? OP said he wanted all the S-pen apps. Where do you find those in AOSP?
ok touchwiz something removed out of custom roms, but what exactly does it add, since I have only used a samsung rom I dont know which bits are touchwiz and which bits arent.
Also is there a list of the apps that are not included without samsung?
thanks

Touchwiz is basically the look of your phone ---
The status bar
The icons
The animations( okk they are stock android )
The menus ..settings ..anything and everything u see in a stock rom ( b4 u install anything ) is touchwiz
And custom roms like cm7 use different stuff
The status bar looks better
There are no crappy samsung apps ( though i like the keypad)
The whole ui is better
In short touchwiz sucks :thumbdown: anything thats not touchwiz rocks :thumbup:
P.S. its only my opinion ...and opinions are like a$$#oles --everyone has one
You know you are rooted when you use XDA more than FB

Modded touchwiz is awesome xD
Ya I agree..touchwiz is awesome
Simple
comparatively more functional in few areas
can be modded easily..!!
One thing i dislike with the TW is....it does not offer any good function (who needs Samsung Apps anyway ) . HTC Sense is much awesome than TW with functions like FriendStream:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:....

TW 4 is gangsta people
Defy-ing all limits.
It's Personal taste....
Well as mentioned earlier.....
ROMS and a$$h0l3s.....
Each has their own and like his own.....
Now some Prefer Cyanogen(Dev guys)....
Some Touchwiz(who prefer stock)....
and Some MIUI(iPhone junkies).....
Cyanogen has it's own plus points(Love the gestures everywhere and speeed).....
Touchwiz has it's own(Nice simple UI and no nonsense Dialer and task manager)....
and I don't have used MIUI (but I like the apps and the efforts put behind it)......
But some things are universal
Edit:this line doesnt refer to touchwiz emoboix
Whats sucks will always suck...you cant just change that ( touchwiz i mean)
Like if all of us say that froyo is better than ics ,the facts wont change ...what is better is better...
And touchwiz will suck for eternity
Period
You know you are rooted when you use XDA more than FB

@chrcol - It's basically Samsung's user-interface. Deciding the ways in which your fingers can interact with their phones. Although roms have their own independent preset functionality, Touchwiz is the software that defines how you interact with that, like all the long-presses, page-switching, down to things like creating multiple home pages etc.

One of the biggest debates about getting ICS onto 'lesser phones' is that of Samsung not being able to fit Touchwiz 4.0 in with ICS on even a device as good as the Galaxy S. But as other posters have made clear, Touchwiz is not the 'be all and end all', even if it is very good; most importantly it is unique to Samsung, and they won't be renting out other peoples systems. I still don't see the problem with tweaking our current Touchwiz 3 though...

Some features are good.
I flashed the official CM7 on my Ace. Most things are nice. What I miss about Touchwiz is the Dialer, and also the Contacts: Swipe right on a contact to make a call, swipe left to compose a message.
On my SE Arc I am running JJ's Hybrid ROM which uses the Sony stock ROM as a base but is heavily tweaked to look like AOSP. Is there any thing like this for the Note - maybe a combination of ROM and a theme? Basically I like the look of AOSP but would like all full functionality of TW. Thanks.
I have been wondering the same. I have not come across anything.

I don't really understand this - why don't you just install another launcher that looks more like AOSP? My personal choice is Nova, but there are plenty of others.

Of course I can install another launcher – but that is not my issue. In many ways I do not actually mind TW Home and sometimes use this as well as Nova when I am on a Touch Wiz ROM. But what I do not like about Touch Wiz is the more than launcher it is the settings menus, the icons and the overall look. JJ’s hybrid ROM looks AOSP but gives you full functionality – something that no CM/AOKP ROM I have ever tried has managed to do (actually there is the 2.3 ROMs on my Hannspad), although don’t get me wrong I do appreciate the devs work and I have happily donated when using those ROMs. But with CM9 we are missing the FM radio and on the Note we are also missing the MHL HDMI functionality. I don’t often use these these but occasionally I do. JJ’s ROMs have been on my Arc since March. For me this is a record as I am a complete ROM whore.
At the moment I am using Chrack’s v12 and I am happy, but still looking….

IOS is not open source. So no way. Even if it is it is not possible.

Apart from the fact that it can't be ported, I think that we all love Android, mod it, customize it, the development and the porting of the ROMs and all other things,. iOS needs Cydia for mods, you can't change ROM, for example (and without mention the "serious stuff") if you want to change the keyboard you need Cydia, if you want to change battery icon or other icons you need Cydia, so for each change to the file system. And about iOS7? For now it can't be jailbreaked, so no Cydia, and no jailbreak=no party at all. It's just a my thought, then each one has their own tastes
The people would've probably ported over iOS 3/4/5/6 if it was possible
Catching my breath, letting it go, turning my cheek for the sake of the show
I expected a question about building an AOSP 4.4 lol
