As any pilot should know the stickshaker or stall warning is generated off the AOA probe. They had it because the AOA was damaged. Twice I have had the stick shaker activate at rotation because the AOA probe on the left side was damaged by jetways. Not a big deal. Cross check airspeed and flap/slat configuration and continue.
IAS disagree is a probable caution when you have an AOA disagree.
