This is an application which allows detection of the S Pen detachment even on AOSP/AOKP/CM based ROMs.
It has only been tested on the Note 2 by me. If it works on your note device please let me know so that I can add it to the list of compatible note devices.
Explanation of how it works:
The android system automatically adds event files for each input device it detects when being installed. These event files are located in /dev/input/eventX where X denotes a particular device. These event files can be read using native C code for which I use an API provided by Radu Motisan which can be found here and also a bit more information about the event files can be found there. So now using this interface I find the event file for the S Pen and then continously read it to see if the value of the S Pen sensor has been changed. Whenever it changes I broadcast the corresponding Intent which was broadcasted by Samsung so that any applications which work based on that Intent can work even on these ROMs without having to change any of their code.
An interesting thing is that this feature is already present in CyanogenMod i.e S-Pen Power saving mode which disables the s pen touch decoder when the s pen is inserted. I fail to understand why they are not doing the same thing that I am doing through my application and save all of us the trouble.
Phone vibrates when i inserted/detached s-pen, so it works? I have note2 lte (n7105) with latest rootbox nightly.

Guys this is the beta version of my application which can detect S Pen detection even on CyanogenMod(works for me on JellyBeer Rom).
Please test it out and tell me if it works on your ROM, it mimics the Intent which is broadcast-ed by Samsung when the S Pen is inserted/detached so any applications which use that intent should work fine.
You can use it in conjunction with my application S Pen Helper to mimic page-buddy on CM 10. Here is the playstore link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tushar.spen_helper

It works well, also Using jellybeer rom. Very good, one thing, how to auto launch a note app? There is the option to launch something, but can't choose what to launch, unless I'm blind.(which could easily be the case)

If it's vibrating means it's working

I had made spen-helper keeping Samsung based ROMs in mind so it selects s note by default but since it's not there on cm10 so it's blank just click below the enable launch toggle will pop up a dialog to change it. I'll fix it in the next version. Also I suggest not to keep the event monitor running in the background as it drains the battery a lot. I'm looking for a method to fix the battery drain currently.

Ok, thanks for the tip. Great work
Edit: just looked at battery now, and holy crap, yes it does drain it. But good start.

Can't see the "app launch settings" you've mentioned. Did you remove it? The batery drain is visible but i think it's not catastrophic. I wonder why the CM team never got around implementing this because they already have the building blocks...

The app launch settings are not there in this application. If you want those features you will have to use this application in conjunction with this.
Regarding the battery drain I fixed it in the last version if you are still having battery drain I would suggest increasing the polling value to 1000 which is responsive enough and not at all taxing on the battery

Thanks for the update. I already use the app you've pointed at - just thought your app could do the same (my bad...). On the battery side i disabled you app and the s pen helper leaving me with "stock" CM10.1 + a bunch of play store downloaded apps. The battery drain is still there so the good news is that your app works as expected - that is not causing any dramatic power consumption. The the bad side... the battery drain is caused by something else. I've installed wakelock doctor and am waiting to see which is the app causing the mentioned battery drain (~4%/hour - roughly 4 times more than usual).
Thanks for your quick support!

The battery drain is a problem in most of the CM based ROMs. I use Sentinel ROM which gives much better battery life than any of the other ROMs I tried. Link is in my signature in case you want to try it out.

Thanks for pointing out that CM causes battery drain. I've previousely used CM on all my devices (HTC Desire, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Note I & II and Nexus 7) and it turned out to being great. I'll test a bit more and then jump over to Sentinel ROM.
This is a great application...
Many thanks for this huge step forward !!

I want to thank you for your hard work on this application, and the level to which you've gone to enable s-pen support in non-touchwiz ROMs. I just made the jump to Carbon ROM (4.3) this weekend after using my Sprint Note 2 (SPH-L900) with rooted, stock 4.1 since I got it at launch last year. I am totally fed-up with touch-wiz and I am really amazed at the difference the ASOP ROM is making for me.
I installed your app and it seemed to work perfectly for about 20 mins or so, then the next time I pulled out my s-pen it didn't recognize the event. Rebooting didn't make a difference, the only thing that made it work again was uninstalling, and then reinstalling the app. I am really confused as to why it stops working. I've checked, and both background services are still active, not cached, and the main program shows as running in my application manager. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions?
I can't paste links into XDA as I don't contribute all that often, but if you want to check out more on Carbon ROM I read about it on galaxynote2root, listed under the recent posts. The ROM is extremely stable and I'm very baffled as to why it isn't cooperating with your app! Thanks!

I think that is happening because you have screen off detection disabled and you are locking the phone before re inserting the s pen. If that happens again you can try inserting the pen then enabling and disabling the detection from the application's settings.

Have you tried using it? Because some users said it works on CM 11.
* - Let's seperate out the bugs.
* - Stock only please. If you're running a custom ROM - DO NOT POST HERE.
* - This isn't a help thread about installing updates...
* - If you think you found a bug it is VITALLY important you list steps to reproduce the bug.. If others can't reproduce it.. It's not a bug.
* - Also do not report anything if you have GEL installed. GEL is not "stock" for the N10 and any problems are not KRT160 problems.
Bugs
-----------------------
Please star and confirm it there if you can to get this item noticed:
1. Nexus 10 - KRT160 - Homescreen not redrawing Google Search if you flick items off instead of dragging to remove
2. Settings force close if you have evernote installed and click on its icon in settings and clicking the Evernote account
I always wanted to reserve..
Bug #1 has also been confirmed on the Nexus 7 Original.

Hey developers.. Would you consider this an Android problem or a developers app not compatible with 4.4 problem?
I would report this to the app developer. He will be able to file a more detailed bug report if not fix it himself
I cannot drag and drop app icon from App drawer to the Home screen. Every time I try this I just load the app. It doesn't matter for how long I'm holding the app icon. Maybe this is due to the low battery, which is doubtful. Reboot doesn't help. Please kindly let me know if I'm not the only one with such weirdness.
This is definitely some malfunction since per Android 4.4 User Guide (http://www.google.com/help/hc/images/android/android_ug_42/Android-Quick-Start-Guide.pdf):
To add an app icon to a Home screen:
1. Go to the Home screen where you want to place the app.
2. Touch theAll Apps icon.
3. Swipe from right to left, if necessary, to find the app you want.
4. Touch & hold the app until the Home screen appears, slide it into place, and lift your finger
Edit:
Found out that this only happens when the device is plugged with USB cable. Maybe this is a feature not a bug...

My Galaxy S 1 used to have that on 2.1. Sounds like a bug.
camera
not sure if its specific to me as i havent seen anyone post about it but the camera app isnt working for me
did a full restore with factory image so i was stock and unrooted when i sideloaded the update everything is ok so far but the camera is a definate no show the app load as you can see the interface buttons but no image same for the vid so just putting that out there
No problems with either of those last two issues here

styckx,
Just a small suggestion for the bug list. Rather than have a raw URL link please make the subject title the URL link. For example the first bug:
Nexus 10 - KRT160 - Homescreen not redrawing Google Search if you flick items off instead of dragging to remove
In this way your list will be is easier to scan. Thanks for creating this thread.

Has anyone noticed that since the upgrade to 4.4 that your device is staying awake? Seems to be caused by Android system. It doesn't sleep anymore and it's draining my battery because of this. Anyone found out what the problem is? I read on another forum that it's being caused by the Google Keyboard that is shipped with 4.4, if I change the keyboard with the 1,2,3 layout, will this solve the battery drain issue? This is weird man......
Thanks for the replies!

Haven't had a look at battery stats or anything but I got over 6 hours screen on time yesterday, so I can't say i've got a problem with battery life
Here's a screenshot I made. To verify it, I disabled the keyboard for a moment, and indeed, the device went to sleep. I then re-enabled the keyboard and again the device won't sleep! Without use I lost 5% of my battery in just 30 minutes. Anyone knows how I can update the keyboard with the newest version?
I think I solved the problem. I turned off Hotword detection under Google Now settings, and then Voice. Seems to have done the trick! Now when the screen is switched off the device goes to sleep. This is weird though, it should switch off when the screen is off but it doesn't! So, I think this is a legitimate bug that needs fixing! Can someone give this a try and report back if this solution helped?

Hi there good people of XDA.
Im on EMUI 3.1 B180 with TSF Launcher as home screen.
Is there a way to change look of Recent Apps tab on this configuration ?
No apps like sidebars with recent apps function shows recent apps. All of them states that there is no recent app. In my opinion somehow they can't get access to read them. Same for other apps claiming they change look of this RA tab.
Why i want to do this:
- I have changed DPI and Recent Apps tab got moved to left which looking bad and it's impractical
- It only show 4 last apps on one screen - (impractical again)
Question 2:
Any way possible to edit some files to achive more recent apps on one screen or change look of RA tab?
If there is no one who knows 100% solution then let's start discussion thread with ideas.
Thanks guys

I actually came here to find the answer to something similar. I think my issues and yours are related.
I also have the b180 firmware and have noticed that apps do not seem to be receiving app usage data despite me having given them access in "settings>security>apps with usage access".
I'm not sure if this issue is related specifically to the b180 firmware as I have only had the honor 7 (PLK-L01) for about 2 weeks and I updated it to b180 the day I got it.
The reasons why I am getting the impression that apps are not receiving app usage data are as follows:
1. I use an app called omni swipe. It has 3 tabs. One called toolbox which has access to various phone settings such as enabling/disabling wifi, one called favourites where I can pin my favourite apps for quick access and one called recent which is supposed to show my most recently used apps. The recent tab is always blank. I have confirmed that the issue is not with the app itself as the same version of the app doesn't have these issues on my old phone (samsung galaxy a3).
2. Again Omni Swipe also has a feature whereby when notifications are received it displays a little red bubble in the corner of the screen. In omni swipe's settings you can specify what apps you want the bubble to be able to appear over and which you don't. An example would be that I have specified that I don't want the bubble to appear while I am using the YouTube app. However the bubble still appears over YouTube. I believe this is because Omni Swipe is unable to determine when I am using the YouTube app due to not receiving app usage data from the phone
3. Opera Max recently received a feature whereby it can track background data usage on an app by app basis. This works fine on my old phone but on the honor 7, Opera Max is unable to distinguish whether the data is being used in the background or whether it's being used while I am using the app actively. Weirdly it does seem to be able to work out what apps I have been using at least although other apps don't.
4. CCleaner is able to determine what processes are currently running so that you can manually kill them with its task manager feature (I am aware that killing processes on Android is pointless, so I don't actually ever use this feature), however whenever I run an analysis it does not detect any running processes whatsoever.
5. Ultimate rotation control allows me to force screen rotation in any app regardless of whether the app natively supports a particular orientation. It has a per app settings section that allows me to specify the particular orientation for any app on an app by app basis. However the per app settings seem to be ignored. Again I believe that this is because Ultimate Rotation Control is unable to determine when specific apps are running due to not receiving app usage data from the phone.
These are all the specific issues I have noticed so far. All seem to be related to me. I have tested that all these issues are not present in the same versions running on my Samsung Galaxy A3.
The issues I have encountered along with the issues you have already described all seem to have the app usage data problem on common.
Does anyone know of any workarounds?

Do you know if the issue was there in the previous version of the firmware to b180? Just wondering if it's just a bug in b180 or in Huawei's implementation of lollipop in general.
I hear that Marshmallow (stable) is being released soon in the UK. Maybe the problem will be fixed in that update anyway. We can only hope.
Let me know if you manage to find a backgate. If I come across anything I'll let you know too. I'm waiting to hear back from Huawei at the moment.

It monitors traffic generated by apps as it passes through the VPN hence it's able to distinguish these, where the rest relies on the usage access API for data usage stats. This is also why in certain cases data usage can differ between what the OS reports and what is displayed in Opera Max.

So would this be why it is able to work out how much data I have used (based on the traffic that has passed through the VPN) but not able to distinguish whether that data was in the background or not due to no access to usage data?
Also do you work for Opera?? Weirdly enough I won this phone from a competition that was run by Opera over Christmas.

Exactly. We need to have usage access to see what app is in the foreground. By that we can mark the rest as in the background and categorize the traffic accordingly. There's a bit of lag in reporting the foreground app (up to 1s, depends on the device, usually around 200ms IIRC) and I'm not sure if we tested this with floating windows yet.
Yes, I work at Opera in a QA Engineer role for Max . I hope you're satisfied with your prize .
If you know your way around ADB you can send me logcats if there are any exceptions thrown due to this issue by Max .
Alternatively you could just wait for the Android MM OTA and see if it fixes the issue.

Yeah its a really good phone, just wish Huawei would give me my bootloader unlock code so I can root, but that's a whole other story and topic
I can send you logcats if you want them although I haven't experienced any real issues with Opera Max other than the occasional notification telling me that certain apps have used a lot of background data which I actually used as foreground data but thats not really an issue with the app but rather the app working correctly with the information that is being provided to it by the phone so I can't really fault it for that.
I did report the issue to Honor UK and they said they would submit it as a bug and that hopefully it will be sorted in the Marshmallow update. Just waiting for the update which should be soon hopefully.
Thanks for the clarification anyway. The whole team at opera do a great job with both Opera Max and Opera Browser.

That's an interesting edge case we didn't bump into yet. Sanity-checking system APIs in the app can make sense but on the other hand there's no easy way to later test these cases. It's easier to assume that the app is at fault then and just gather feedback from users .

I'll assume then that the Honor team will tackle this issue then . It's a pity they don't ship with the bootloader unlocked. Having root on devices is essential for comfortable debugging of VPN issues so I feel you .

I'll assume then that the Honor team will tackle this issue then . It's a pity they don't ship with the bootloader unlocked. Having root on devices is essential for comfortable debugging of VPN issues so I feel you .

I now have an unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and rooted marshmallow installed. It seems so far that any issues that I was having that were related to requiring access to app usage data are all fixed in the marshmallow update. Opera Max is now working how it used to with correct reporting of what data was used in the foreground and what data was used in the background.
All is good in marshmallow land on my Honor 7 now.

Good to hear that MM works fine for you and that you finally got an unlocked bootloader!
I have many app issues with the current phone!
I have received a major update and I currently run BLA-L29 8.0.0. 127 (C432)
I have app issues especially with apps that are news related!
I tried installing them again, I made factory reset and all possible solutions but the problem is still there!
For example (IMDb, Gazzetta, Sdna, sport24, 90 minutes) apps are launching but when I press to a specific article won't open!
When I force stop them and clear cache sometimes works but it's like 1 out of 20-30 attempts.
I contacted Huawei and they said that the apps don't work because they are not optimised to oreo 8.0 and it's totally an app problem, but I think is more than that!
Keep up the good work guys!

I have the same problem as you. A lot of my news apps sometimes work, and sometimes won't open any articles. I can't find any rhyme or reason for it. My Yahoo Mail app has the same problem as well. Sometimes it works fine, and other times it won't display the body of the email.
Found a potential solution in another thread, but I haven't tried it yet. Here is his post.

I think I might have solved this issue myself and it might be useful information for others:
In the battery-section of the settings, there is an option to control if an app can auto-start, be started from a different app and is allowed to keep running in the background. Either you allow the phone to control this automatically, or you can do it manually: the latter possibility is the one I turned on as I wanted to have the control over the apps. Apparently, this was a bad choice as it stopped the apps from getting the information from the internet?
After I switched it back to completely automatic, all apps were working normally again. This is something that Huawei should address as I don't believe this should happen .

Thanks for the update
I had it as well manual and everything was off and this was the reason for the problem!
I just set it to automatic and seems that the problem is fixed!
I will keep you updated the following days!
Thnx ppl
Problem solved
Everything is working fine!
I don't think you need to turn everything to automatic, "Chrome" should be enough as I think those apps use some built-in Browser features from "Chrome". So leaving everything as is (no matter if automatic, manual on or manual off) worked for me as long as "Chrome" was set to automatic or manual on.
Problem solved
You are absolutely right! Only chrome has to be automatic!
Yes Chrome is used instead android web wiew on oreo
I have exactly the same Problem with Amazon App! Any solution?.
Edit:
Same here! Chrome on automatic and amazn app works fine!!

i'm facing similar problems and many app developers said "Huawei developers have set restriction for the device system"
As we mentioned before you should change the battery settings...
Settings
Battery
Launch
Manage All Automatically {on}
...... Or you just turn Chrome to automatically and see if it works....
Hi there,
unfortunately I got more and more problems using that ROM. Next to the problem described here weather is no longer updating automatically, several google apps cannot be updated any longer (showing error -504) and when rebooting/booting it takes ages now while it gets hot and drains battery massivly during bootup.
Do you have any ideas about how to solve these problems?
In addition I wanted to ask which of the available alternative OSes for RMN2 Prime is the most stable (and secure) to be used which does not exclude too many phone functions (like sensors, bluetooth, audio, GPS, camera etc.) and also provides useful battery live (do not use phone much)?
(I managed to get Dual Boot Patcher working when I used xiami.eu ROM back then - but unfortunately main apps (messengers, calendar, navigation etc.) could not be used in parallel mode so I did not play around much with different OS [had RRemix installed in parallel] - maybe any idea on that to use parallel stuff?).
Thank you in advance for your help!
Bye
