KitKat and the Spen. Touch wiz alternatives?

Hi everyone, got a Note, installed Omni KitKat nightly and I'm as happy as a puppy. Only grief is that I'm missing all the spen candy. I know it needs the touchwiz framework and strongly doubt if Samsung is ever gonna grant us with a KitKat ROM for note 1, so here's the question: Is there any work in progress or any workaround to regain some spen functionality in KitKat? We could start by replacing that ugly cursor with something more phablet friendly.

Hmm seems nobody is using their spens anymore...
I like the way kitkat is going but if any dev is reading this id like to know what to expect concerning these missing features:
1 - spen specific functions and airview like option. It could be implemented from when samsung update the note 3 to 4.4
2 - video calling over 3g (i.e. over regular phone)
3 - multiwindow, though i think its already in the works
4 - handwriting recognition
Mind you this is not a request for an ETA, just if these features will be available on the note1 under kitkat.
Thanks in advance and if you have other features in mind please share. :-

Also, what about hdmi via mhl? Again, no request for eta, just enquiring if these features will ever be available on kitkat. Thanks

This thread reminds me of my days in solitary confinement. Always talking to myself... Anyway, i think the feature i miss the most is actually video calls over 3g. Wonder if it's dialer app specific or there is more to it. I'll try different dialers and let - myself- know

Most of the features you are taking about are Samsung implemented features.
- Calls over 3G can be done using any 3rd party app.
- even mhl is proprietary to Samsung.
- If air view and all were to be implemented on AOSP&CM based roms, wouldn't it have been already done as it was there in Samsung 4.1.2. So why to wait for 4.4? Most of these roms are not specifically made for stylus phones.
- Multi-window does work. Still under development. Although there are a lot of floating MW options.
- About handwriting recognition, it's used in Samsung keyboard. Again Samsung.. If you just want recognition, there are apps to do that.
You say it's not a ETA thread but keep updating it with your own posts every day. If you asked this to any Dev, why not wait for one to read and answer?

Made some progress with spen on kitkat. Fortunately that ugly cursor was ditched in the latest nightly and with gmd gestures app and gnote (from the forums) the spen is almost useful again. Also i find the swype like feature in SwiftKey much more convenient than handwriting recognition. Keep you updated with my progress. @nokiamodeln91 3rd party dialers offer video over data connection. I need the umts/3g implementation of video calling. Thanks for your input though.

I Too would like SPen funtionality
I just installed KitKat Verizon Note2. I bought my Galaxy Nexusin '11 only to be dumped by Google, now with my Note2 that I really love, hear that I have to wait until next year sometime, if even then. I would really like some love for the Note2 SPen functions in the KitKat build.
Thanks to everyone working on these builds.

@stargazin I'm hearing that spen gestures have been implemented in latest omni nightly (12/12), waiting for download to finish...

Please let me know how this works for you, and possibly a link to the ROM. I am really missing my pen functionality and apps.

The implementation is basic right now, swiping left right up and down plus double tap can be assigned to apps or soft keys. It's still to be developed, for now I'm using GMD spen control which is much more flexible. The rom is omni kitkat nightly 12/12. Take the time to read the OP on how to install the rom. Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516933

I'm using GMD as well, and Handwrite too. I would like to see the whole Note 3 SPen functions brought to the KitKat. There is a lot of cool stuff there. Some of the MotoX functions as well. My friend just received his Moto, and rubbing it in my face with all the hands free functions, talking to his phone while it is just sitting on the desk idle, screen off. That is cool. If I had any idea on how to program, I would try to figure this out.
Being over 50 now, and trying to learn all the new programming the young guys are doing, I'm impressed. Kudos to all of you out there tackling this. :beer:

Good roms??

I'm looking for a good, stable , and gas Rom. Any suggestions?? Would like to have hotspot working and Ian tethering working.

All the roms available on the m7 section are amazing, every rom has something special, u should keep trying them until you find the chosen one

Well I don't know which roms are good. Been out of the loop for a little while. I have 4.4.2 kit Kat with sense 6.0. Not sure if I want to keep kit Kat or go to jelly bean. I don't want lollipop tho. I know I want hotspot and usb tethering. I want stable and fast Rom for performance and games. I also have twrp. Sprint version cdma

Thank good we have a lot good roms [emoji2] [emoji2]
You should think what rom you want,gpe, sense 6, sense 7 etc. And then look if they have any bugs. I have used a lot of them and recently artmod,arhd,insertcoin and all of them are perfect. I currently have insertcoin and I m good with it.
Hope you will find the rom you want [emoji4]

I've tried many of them, all of them are excellent. I always end up going back to a Kitkat Sense based rom, it's all a personal preference thing but I just find 4.4 Sense roms a little more stable and much better for battery life. Plus there are a lot more mods for Kitkat roms than Lollipop, but that's changing it appears. I suppose we have to remember the M7 is getting older now and newer roms are pushing the hardware harder than before.

Going back to note 4 :) Been some time Have Rom questions

Been on all the new phones s7 and note 5 for while now... switching back to note 4 today
Hoping for the sake of skipping going through each rom that someone can narrow down what's the Go Too Rom of choice that is current and based on 6.0.1 and has the most tweaks and mods incorporated
Been few years for me since I flahshed on a note 4.
And one curious question has there ever been a finger scan tweak that now allows to just touch the home button on a note 4 to unlock rather then swipe down method that was always hopeless
Thanks in advance xda.

I am using a ported Note 7 rom called Note4UXedge_v10 and I love it. It is perfectly debloated and air command fully works too. It is using the systemless root method and runs very smoothly. It doesn't have any tether hacks but you can install Xposed and use the motoxtether module for perfect native tethering. You'll want to look for the [Unofficial] Xposed by Wanam for the Note 4. I subscribed to your thread in case you have more questions or need help getting it all set up just right.

Which is the best custom rom available for galaxy note 4 (SM-N910T)

Rom with minimum bugs and working fingerprint is more appreciable

There is no best Rom. A lot of the ROMs here are great. The real question is which Rom is best for you. It's all about what you want, looks? Customizable? Minimal? Stability?. Etc. You get what I mean.
Obviously, the N7 and S8 ports are the newest craze. And there are too many great ROMs for me to list, also there are plenty more post about this same question.
But the main point I wanted to make for you is: if fingerprints is a big point for you then your gonna want to stay with a Note 4 based Rom! Because all the ports usually don't work or require some work around.
Good luck in your search!

If you want working fingerprint reader and minimum bugs then I agree with the previous poster, stick with a note 4 based rom. A really good one is twiztd note 4 version of his rom. Very smooth and stable and everything works !
