Flashed with cyanogen, pen apps not working?

Hi,

For some reasons I couldnt post in the developer section where I already started posting a few days ago...

Anyway I just sucessfully flashed my samsung notepro 12.2 with the latest:
CyanogenMod 12.1 (Android 5.1.1) | LOLLIPOP | 20150823

Everything works fine so far but now that I wanted to try the pen. I noticed that the apps and the button on the pen does not work. Neither does the side panel where you on the original firmware drag from right to left, and it has bunch of apps there.
I guess this is not anything faulty but Im wondering if theres a way to get this functionality back?

Thank you

Spen support and apps is only available in Touchwiz based ROMS. Sadly there is no simple solution, the drivers don't work on non-TW Roms. :(
very weird... Your telling me that someone made this rom for the samsung NOTEpro and did not include functionality for the pen? Isnt that what the device is used for? If so then very sad indeed....

Unfortunately so. :(

It's not the ROM dev's fault, though. Samsung's Spen drivers only work with Touchwiz, they're dependent on TW's files. Build a ROM without TW and the drivers can't run.

It's the same for the Note 2, Note 3, Note 4 and likely the Note 5 as well.

Wait, does it means the Spen doesn't work on GN Pro with CM, like, at all ? I can survive with the S Commander and so on I don't use that at all, but does it means that drawing software won't work ?
