Hello, I'm wondering if there's any app or custom rom that supports or allows the spen to have the same or almost the same utilities that it has in the stock rom.
This is because I'm not sure if its better to update the phone to the latest android version with a custom rom without spen utilities or keep the current stock rom with the spen utilities.
Thanks and great day.
yes they are - try to read about on the snapdragon and exynos forums - there are roms which support some functions.
the app(s) are not included in the rom, you need to dig in xda

I'm new to this Galaxy Note device and a bit confused about some requirements i read about flashing roms.
Several makes mention about that it works only for a specific kernel. How do I find out which kernel I have?
The phone currently is on paranoandroid 4.2.2 custom rom. Since it's a bit lagging, i want to flash it to a new better rom.
I'm unsure if I can simply download any custom rom and flash it or should I flash a specific kernel prior?
Also if you have any recommended rom with stock s-pen functionality would be great.
Thanks.
you can download any rom of you choice and flash as its on a good kernel. for Spen you will need to stick with TW custom roms or stock roms
hi , iam using slimroms since a rough year on my former sgs1 and now on my note 1 . i realized now that even i love the rom and all the abilities of newer android versions , i have to go stock because of the unreliable usb drivers that regularly break connection and have poor performance when running as storage device from within android . for that reason i was looking in the forums about the stock roms and came across those stock and tw based roms . my question is now are these stock roms wich got tweaked and rooted but inherit all the properiat drivers that samsung got in his version and will these roms provide all levels of hardware support that i need for reliable working. despite beeing stuck on 4.1.2 then . and are these stock kernels like phillz one also working with the hardware as expected . finally the question about the different carrier versions wich seem to be the thing for newer stock roms like xxlt9 etc ... what does this mean in regard to the rom as i only know this numbering from the radios . thank you , chris

In simple terms stock based roms will use the Sony skin and many of Sony's apps - typically the developer will have tweaked the build to improve performance or used the most recent version of Sony apps from higher end devices (the Z1 for example). They may also add some extra features - (using the volume buttons to skip music tracks/advanced reboot menu).
Custom Roms won't have any of the Sony features and generally will be closer to unskinned AOSP (Android Open Source Project) in appearance. They will mostly have some unquie features and be more options for customisation than a stock based ROM. Developers can also release higher versions of Android than Sony, allowing the user to experience Kit Kat long before Sony release a build. They tend to perform better than stock builds because they are less bloated. Sony has significant facebook integration within it's builds for example, similarly whilst it's possible to ignore it, there is a lot of secondary marketing within a Sony build trying to get you to use their music/video/games services. Most of these apps are heavy, slowing down the device. The SP copes fine, but their are definitely smoother custom roms out there.
Ok thanks !

Recently there's been a lot of development for the Note 5 and I'm happy that there is but most if not ALL roms out now have the Grace UX update where there are no UI issues but there are other issues which I had found in each ROM, battery life is not as good as Note 5 based roms, VR (which I use a lot) either does not work on some ROMs or works but either lags/reorients itself every 30 seconds.
I reckon I should just stay on stock as everything would be stable and I'll just disable the bloatware (Office Apps, Skype, etc), and root and have the same functions as the Grace UX roms. My one question is will Xposed work on a stock rooted ROM?
You will need to use a modified zip installer by wanam to get xposed working on stock. Just flash it through twrp. Instructions and downloads are at the main xposed thread ?
I'm new to this whole custom ROM scene, so the answer may be obvious already, but if I were to install a custom ROM like PIxelExperience, would the S-pen still have its functionalities? Or if ever it doesn't, would there be apps I can install to bring back those features?
