Hi,
I really like the stock email (allowing different polling times for peak / off-peak and the overall usability) as well as the stock calendar and the wifi calling feature.
I do afraid that if I'll install any new ROM (say 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 based ROMs) I will loose those stock apps. I understand that I will need the "Stock Samsung Framework" so something similar to that?
Is there a way to download those apps from somewhere? and also - what will I need to remove from the system folder before I install (or overwrite) with the stock apps?
Thanks,
Gil.
There is no official 4.2.2 for samsung devices yet. Specially like our s 3.
The feature you mentioned are Touch Wiz based ROm feature. If you install 4.2.2 then you will loose all those. And there is no way you can install those on any AOSP based ROM or CM or AOKP.

Thanks Bikrame,
I just wish someone could create a ZIP installer that installs only Touchwiz on top of other ROMs; I know that there was one for ICS on the SGS3 but I could not find any for JB...

Hi all,
I've just rooted & put AOKP rom on my new GS3.
Problem is, I'm missing the little task manager button that's on the stock touchwiz.
Does anybody have an APK I could install, or any way to enable this?
As a side request, does anybody know of a link to all the stock apps that came with the S3? I'm interested to install a few of them.
I dont think you will get that Feature on CM9/Aokp/Aosp roms
and if you want some stock apps, easiest way to get them is go and find a Stock based rom download and extract the whole the System/App folder and there you have it.

it wont be there in aosp roms, only available with samsung roms
Anyone know how I could get Pop-up browser on this custom rom? it's on Cyanogenmod 10.1, Paranoid Android Version 3.15 and android version 4.2.2. I enjoyed pop-up browser on old touchwiz roms, but decided to update. If there is no flashable .zip file available, is there a alternative app/flashable .zip file I could use to get a similar experience on 4.2.2?
Thanks

The one on the TW rom;s is for TW only as with most proprietary Samsung apps it can't function outside the samsung framework. There are options on the playstore though. Just search "floating browser"
Here is one:

feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImdwYy5teXdlYi5oaW5ldC5uZXQuUG9wdXBXZWIiXQ..
Jellybam includes a Touchwiz launcher and set of Samsung apps, downloadable via Bam Modder in System settings. Not sure, though, if either includes the browser in question.
Do not ask questions about this rom here. They are banned from XDA for taking and claiming work that is not theirs.
Hello All!
I just want to clear some of my basic doubts before I flash ROMs in my GN2. So, here goes:
Is it right that custom ROMs donot have some of the Samsung proprietary features such as Air View, Smart Rotation, Smart Stay, etc.? and
Are kernels also flashed in the same way as the ROMs are i.e., .zip flash via Recovery?
Thanks!

Hi,
1.) It is possible.
2.) Yes
1) yes, cyanogenmod rom paranoid rom will Disable Samsung applications, but there are still so many roms, like Android revolution HD, Crash rom ( I'm currently using now) , just google " the best custom rom for galaxy note 2" , those roms keep all of Samsung features + many system tweaks. Just try them.
2) exactly yes
Here, I'd like to advice to back your stock rom before flashing a custom rom. This is very important to recover your phone in case something went wrong
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
ALL TW ROMS have these options s whereas Aosp don't
Yes the same way to flash the kernel

Your question has been answered already but I would like to explain a bit more for others who can be confused with all this.
There are 4 kinds of custom ROM available.
TW (stock Samsung)
AOSP( Pure Google Android) Won't have any of the Samsung features
AOKP( Based on AOSP but with some more features) Won't have any of the Samsung features but they got the S-pen working.
MIUI (Chinese version of Android with very different style than others) ?????? not sure
ROMs and Kernels comes in 2 formats. ZIP and TAR.
If it's a ZIP file, you flash it in recovery using CWM, TWRP or PHIL.
If it's a TAR file, you need to put your phone in Download Mode and flash it with ODIN.
Custom ROM' almost always come in ZIP(never seen one using TAR but it's not impossible)
Official Samsung ROM almost always come in TAR files
Hope it helps.
This seems like a question I should be able to find an answer to myself, but I have searched all throughout the N7100 forum and can't seem to find my answer.
I have the Galaxy Note II International Version (GT-N7100). I rooted it with the Samsung Galaxy Note2 Toolkit
When I rooted, I had version 4.1.1 of android. It didn't get any OTA updates since it was rooted. I would like version 4.1.2 so I can run the Samsung Multi WIndow Manager so that I can use any app in the MultiWIndow mode.
What's the best way to do this? I tried flashing a stock rom, but I got stuck when I was required to download a stock ROM. I'm in the United States, but I don't see any region with United States so I don't know which I should get.
Sooo... Is this the proper way to update the Samsung rom if I had it rooted? Is there a better way?
What rom is best to use? Which region do I need for the U.S.? I mainly want to use the multi-window support and my understanding is that I must use a Samsung rom for that. I believe that was true when I first researched it. Is it still true today?
Thanks!
Maybe I'm being dense but did you also unlock your phone and install a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP?)
If so, you should be able to download a rom for your phone, install and enjoy the fruits of your labors. Look for roms that are based on TouchWiz and you should retain the samsung features you want. AOSP roms are base android and will not have those samsung customizations.
I don't know what "region" has to do with it though, just pick a rom that's compatible with N-7100

Thanks for the response, TrojanDroid. If region doesn't matter and I can install any TouchWiz based rom then that makes me very happy. I've used mods on other phones in the past and never had to worry about region.
Yes, I used the toolkit to install TWRP, Busybox, and Root the phone. The reason I asked about region is because I figured the easiest way to upgrade to 4.1.2 or higher would be to flash the newer stock rom. This is the webpage with an extremely large list of stock roms that the tool left me with though, which is where my question came from: http samsung-updates .com /device/ ?id=GT-N7100 (I can't post links yet)
I use the Samsung Multi Window and S-Pen features often. Is it accurate to say that as long as a rom is TouchWiz based, I will still be able to fully take advantage of those features?
You should update to any latest rom, bcoz 4.1.1 having sudden death bug and your device can be brick suddenly without a reason.
Anyway 4.1.2 stock rom itself having Multiwindow but to use any application in Multiwindow you will need to have moved version.
You can achieve it with xposed module (is simply needs rooted device +two simple apk to install)
Now what I recommend
1.You already have rooted device with cwm then make efs backup (can use Multitool from my signature for that)
2 . update latest rom (like mg1 is good in my point of view) with odin.
3.again you can use Multitool to root device.
4 . find xposed module and framework for Multiwindow mod to use any application in mw
OR
Find AnyMod from my signature and enjoy many extra features on your stock rom.
Goodluck

Thanks for the input. I have now successfully installed Thunder Lite and it seems to fit my requirements. I may investigate and play around with a few other roms in the future as well, since now I know that any Samsung based rom should work for me.
Thanks!

So I took a long break from flashing my phone. I just want to get a newer stock android Rom on the phone. Not touchwiz Rom. Do I just download and flash the Rom? Up to date bootloader just for touchwiz based Rom correct?
All I know is I have 4.1.2 now. I317m. It's rooted of course and some kind of custom Rom. It's been a loong time
If you go on Cyanogenmod's website they have a installer that is really easy
I don't have a computer access right now. Or very often at all.
Also if I go to a kitkat touchwiz Rom I just have to flash the proper kernel for wifi to work? Is this consistent across all Roms I'd be looking to flash?
