[Q] AOSP based roms with S-PEN SDK released?

---

With the release of the S-PEN SDK, does that mean AOSP based roms will become a reality? I'm sure any AOSP based roms may not work properly for the GNote because of the S-PEN, so does the SDK solve this?

Much more interesting is the question, if the S-Pen or generally the pen implementation Samsung has gone for is compatible with the Ice Cream Sandwich implementation and therefore future proof or if they went their completely own way and ICS wont bring anything good to the Note except equipped with Sammys proprietary tools...

Jeez, is this really one single huge sentence? I'm afraid it is.

I was really wondering the same thing, but in a different way.

The current Touchwiz builds all have issues with playing music in A2DP stereo.
This is caused by low bitpool settings, which are compiled into their proprietary bluetooth stack.

This could all be fixed by using an AOSP-based kernel (and thus bluetooth stack).

I'll be honest, I would prefer vanilla ICS, but I would be happy to skin Touchwiz ICS, provided they at least fixed the BT issue.

Another way of asking a similar question is if cyanogenmod plans on integrating the S-pen into CM9 for the Gnote.

The current answer seems- maybe after Touchwiz ICS is released... maybe

The currently existing very early build of CM9 seems to be supporting the pen. Of course no proprietary Samsung software like S-Memo and such is integrated, but the hardware works, I once read in the thread. I didn't follow the thread though and I believe it's rather quickly growing

Have you tried it personally? I seem to remember it being stated that CM9 would categorically not support it, however ICS natively supports pen input.

I also heard that if it did support, would not be pressure-sensitive without the Spen SDK

No I didnt try it personally but I still strongly believe an overview was given and the S-Pen functionality was mentioned working.

I'll check the thread out though once I find time to do so, I'm quite interested to know, really.
