And what about TouchWiz ?

As said in the title. Do you find TouchWiz :
- convenient
- just different from stock Android
- un-convenient
?
Thanks for advance.

Thank you everybody for all your answers (just kidding) !
Let me add mine as I now have a Galaxy Note :
I find TouchWiz very nice. It is ergonomic, it does not slow the phone, and it greatly improves the look of vanilla Android (version 2.3.6 & 4.0.3).

I found touchwiz 4.0 a bit nice but im using ADW Launcher EX.

I very much like touchwiz over any 3rd party launcher because of all the features it has. I especially like the folders: I just wish Samsung would let us make a backup of folders . When I was flashing my SGS2 a lot, I HATED having to put my icons back into their folders. Not keeping folders I find to be a big mess.
I like touchwiz, go launcher is good too, but I much prefer Touchwiz

i am happy with touchwiz and no plan on changing it.

Used to dislike touchwiz very much, but I understand the Note has an improved version, e.g. resizable widgets, two way directions when scrolling through available widgets etc.
Now on the Note, it's my default launcher, though I also have Zeam--used to be my favourite--and LauncherPro Plus installed.
If nothing else, it's because I can create folders in TouchWiz whereas I can't do that in Zeam, and also the app drawer opens more smoothly.
I do like having 6 dock icons on Zeam though!

Thanks for the GO Launcher mention, it's my new free favorite launcher making my EVO 4G feel new+cool again with all those customizable effects (faster than sense too).
Go Launcher should now also help make it easier for me to hold out for CES news before deciding on my SGNote move..
I had to factory reset my EVO on Christmas after it was stuck in an infinite bootup loop for the first time but at least it fixed issues I was having with it.
- How is TouchWiz better than Go Launcher? TouchWiz looks like my dad's cookie cutter iPhone?

as a former iPhone user. I like TouchWiz; it also adds more features and shortcuts to Pure Google Android.

Got nothing against TouchWiz, it works well but it uses A LOT of resources.

Don't use any TouchWiz specific things really (Unless S-Pen features like S-Memo, S-Memo lite and screenshot annotation count)

[Q] Finally have ICS. How do I make this look like ICS?

First, I replaced the launcher. Apex Launcher is based on the stock ICS Launcher and looks great, but getting it to work with the weather and clock widgets seems to be crappy. These widgets know how to change layout based on size, and it seems like Apex is failing to notify them of the size change. Anyone know how to get those widgets to use a layout other than the long, thin stripe when using Apex?
Second, I'm wondering if I should replace the camera / gallery apps. Is there a significant advantage to the standard ICS apps? I'm hoping there's some reason Samsung gave us the old Gallery app, but anyone know what it is? Is the stock ICS gallery available to install?

I think if u just wait for a while. Some one will release a "Custom" Rom with re-design. Even though it will be stock with a layer on top of it, it will be all u need.

I'm not really interested in a custom ROM. Trying to stick with the stock roms as much as I can. That doesn't mean I won't install some better apps.

use Quickpic for gallery; significantly better than stock gallery, regardless of OS version!
As for weather widget, here's something to try:
Go to Apex Settings, Advanced settings, then uncheck "resize any widget"
see if the switch to conventional ICS resizing will change the Accuweather widget behaviour...
No guarantee but give it a go!

Yep should have added "watch this thread" to follow for ICS note version when done as ICS only out this week and no one will have it themed yet.
Personally I had a S2 and tried most themes and allways went back to stock plus a ICS look launcher, follow the S2 themes and you will see all themes don't get things right 100% grey txt on black background and then there was CM 9 etc with custom apps themed and you loose some of the original functionality.
Or follow checkrom.com for a ICS vers coming shortly???

Rom request, cm9 with s note apps?

Hey I'm looking for an ics rom with a combination of aosp apps and s note apps still present. Ideally it would be stock ics with aosp dialer, gallery and text app? Thanks for any help

No such thing yet.

I saw a post for different aosp apps in the themes and apps section but dialer was not included. I guess its a start. I'd like to have the pen functionality and apps but hate most skinned dialects. Including samsungs. Aosp is so much neater
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668611

So far the cm9 doesn't support s-note

how about vice versa, a touchwiz rom that supports cm9 apps like the dialer, gallery and sich

Search around. Except for the dialer, you can get all AOSP apps to run on your TW ROM. They're all in the Note Sub-forum.

Use PS Touch instead of S Note, it is much better :good:

[Q] Is there any Touchwiz ROM with PIE?

At the moment I'm on PACrom. but I'm really missing the multiwindow feature of TW ROMS, and the full S-Pen functionality.
The only thing keeping me from going back to a TW ROM is PIE. Are there any ROMS like Jedi for the N7100 that have both TW and PIE?

I don't suppose there are any TW ROMs with PIE for the N7000 yet, PIE isn't a feature of TW as such and maybe they have ported it to a TW ROM for the N7100.
For the Spen, I'd like to suggest you the GMD SPen control app which enables you to have custom gestures and it is really a very good app. And there is an app Papyrus that may be a fine substitute for the SNote.

You can try out this app:

[Q] Question About Using A Rom But Having Stock Rom Showing

Hey guys,
Sorry for the poor wording, but there's times where I want a full-blown smart watch using Foamey's ROM but to be honest I love having the watch with the traditional look, and not a watch that looks like a small Android tablet.
What I'd love to do is install his ROM but have it kind of "run in the background", and make it look stock. I would use the Bluetooth Tethering Toggle (preferably as an icon I can swipe to much like a stock Gear has now) to do things like give me access to my Phillips Hue Lights instead of having to grab my phone from the charger.
I'm guessing I just install the launcher but the first time it asks whether I want to use it or the stock launcher when I press home, I just choose the stock launcher? Other than that all my notifications will work just like I'm stock?
Thanks a lot guys.

Yep, just use stock launcher. Launcher determines look. You can switch between launchers
