Hi all,
so, I don't really use multiwindow that much but I tried using it yesterday and it didn't work; by "it didn't work" I mean that when I move an app from the sidebar to put it on one side of the screen, it just goes fullscreen. I tried with all of my apps and the same thing happened, they all go fullscreen not just middlescreen. I don't know for sure but I think something I flashed that day might have made it stop working. What I flashed was the Elegant Theme (that includes the jkay framework, the modded phone app and the theme itself) and also the CrossBreeder mod and installed the Greenify app. Before that day it was working as always.
My phone is on 4.1.2, the rom is Wanamlite V5.8 and the stock kernel that comes with it. I have wiped cache, dalvik cache and fixed permissions but nothing really did it.
Does anyone know what might have happened? Or if there is something I can do without re-flashing eeeeverything?
I really enjoy using multiwindow for multi tasking
Thank you very much if you can help me!

the jkay framework might have overwritten the multiwindow files. hence you can have a look in the mod (multiwindow) thread and download the version for jkay framework. flash it over it and you should be fine I guess.

First off, all credit on figuring out this mod goes to untermensch, thanks a ton!
Please see his post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8542257&postcount=6114
So, this is the Mms.apk from Cyanogen Mod 5.0.8 (taken from the nexus 1 build) and modified to support the samsung puzzle-lock messaging notifications!
UPDATE 10/12/2010: added a smaller, faster version, with all images optimized, cut the file-size almost in half. New version is "Optimized_CM_5_0_8_with_puzzle_Mms.apk" though I'm leaving the original file attached to the post for anyone that wants to test both files.
For anyone that's never used an AOSP/CM android rom, you can see screenshots of the app here:
http://picasaweb.google.com/113127051130934911253/AndroidCM508MMS?feat=directlink
If you already use an AOSP/CM mms.apk, this can be pushed right on top of your existing apk.
To install if you still use the touchwiz mms apk, either use adb/terminal/root explorer to delete your existing mms.apk from /system/app then reboot, and uninstall "com.android.mms" then reboot into recovery, and clear cache and dalvik-cache.
Reboot one last time, rename this apk Mms.apk, and adb push to /system/app
Cheers everyone, and thanks again to untermensch for making this possible!
Awesome thanks for sharing your findings! Just pushed it to Bionix 1.7 and MMS seems to still work and have the puzzle piece. After getting so used to that puzzle piece I go nuts without it haha.
Thanks! Works great
Very cool thanks Man.
Updated the OP with a smaller, faster version with all images optimized, cuts the file-size almost in half.
Cheers everyone, =)
has this been tested with a stock 2.2 Mms.apk?
tyty! just pushed it to frankin-twiz. made it the perfect ROM.
I've never actually used Stock Android. Can I get some screenshots to see what it looks like? Don't want to change it if I don't end up liking it

Hi,
I posted a link in the OP to some screenshots. The biggest thing for me, is that instead of making delivery reports a notification that has to be cleared after every sms/mms, it shows an icon, in-line with the message text, that changes based on status (pending, delivered, error, etc.)
Also, this does not use the "chat bubbles" like the touchwiz mms app. Personally, I don't really care for them in the touchwiz mms, since it truncates long messages, forcing you to click each message to view the full text.
Anyway, hope this helps, cheers, =)
I followed you installation instructions but did not see the app named com.android.mms after deleting mms.apk and rebooting i didnt see it in titanium or the stock app manager...now i pushed the file but it wont show up after restarting 3 times? Did i do something wrong? And yes i wiped cache and dalvik cache twice

Hi,
I've never run into that before, everytime you remove/delete an apk from /system/app it should leave residual data. Granted, this is from a terminal/shell approach, I don't personally use titanium, root explorer, etc. but do almost everything from an adb shell.
The only thing I can suggest is try deleting the mms.apk again manually, from a shell, and reboot and then go to /settings/applications/manage applications and hit menu, change filter to all, and then search for anything that looks like com.android.mms
Sorry about that, not sure why its not working for you, do you run a custom rom?
cheers, =)

Confirmed working in Bionix Fusion 1.0.
s0niqu3:.
I know I posted this to Viral when he made the mods to the Mms.apk back in Bionix 1.7ish to get it black, but it never got fixed. The background color of MMS content (easily seen when adding audio) is still a light blue. Think you can change it to black to match?
Thanks for this. I tried following the instructions but it didn't cooperate. My mms.apk was still there after reboot. So I just replaced it with the new one using root explorer. Seems to work without a problem. Running Fusion 1.0

Works great for me. I had to use adb to push it though, root explorer wouldn't install it.
So nice to get rid of that cartoon like Samsung app!
Works great for me; Bionix 1.9 OC/UV/Voodoo.
I want the TW MMS icon though... the AOSP icon looks stupid.
Edit: Switched them with the pretty TW icons (used larger/higher res icons from each apk, picking the best ones). Works perfectly!
dude i love u no homo
I made this for my own use, after getting annoyed with laggy browser using XXKG1. I like the stock browser, and wanted to "fix" it.
Thanks LeoMar75, I used your odexed files
Flash via CWM.

Enjoy!

NOTE: this will NOT work if you use a mod that has made changes to some of your framework files. e.g. madmack.
As always, do a nandroid before flashing.
Reserving this.
Is this basically just an odexed browser? What other files does it touch?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Odexed browser and framework files. Apart from that, it wipes cache. That's it.
So this will overwrite anything that touches the framework like battery mods?
It's a shame there isn't an easier way to do mods than buggering around with the apk's
Thanks for the info!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
You can actually open up the zip, and delete framework-res.apk from the framework folder, and then apply it, and your battery mod will stay
And will it still work? This is on a deodexed rom.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Tried it with lite pro rom v2.2 and it got stuck on first boot logo.. Fortunately i did a nandroid backup first :/
I'm playing around with this as we speak.
VR 2.0 LITE.
So .. first problem I encountered: browser always crashed when I start it up BUT it does work with some kinks. Witch I think I can solve.
So how does it work? Well I am a arstechnica reader. In pulse rss reader (if not a subscriber to ars) you get a few lines from the artikel with a button to read the rest of the artikel in the browser. If you press it, you stay in Pulse reader but the engine of the browser is used to display the artikel at it's correct url.
The engine (with all it's hw-acc glory) works. As in: I can browse the page on ars, the comments, even with video's no problem. No laggy **** what so ever.
But ... the frameworks screws **** up a bit. (I think ) So I tried flashing back my old frameworks ... but it didn't work I screwed up my phone
So as we speak I'm reflashing vr2.0 lite.
So what I'll be trying is flashing JUST the browser part (without the frameworks). Lets see if that helps.
Which files does the browser need to work btw? As in: what files should I keep from frameworks? Or is it possible to just delete the whole frameworks folder?
I don't know what happened here! I took my risk and tried to flash it on cognition rom...I delete first framework apk and when I flashed I got an error E: bla bla bla message..I reboot and....no lag at the browser? I don't get it really I don't! Thanks anyway!

Yes. Do a nandroid before hand to be sure
@people having problems with FCs. Not sure why you'd be having that problem, I didn't have any ._.
I'd suggest wiping dalvik and cache and updating if you still get FCs.
many issues with android can be related to caching mechanism...
My script *should* be wiping it anyway.
For myself, I did it manually.
Hey Rawat, I have always been under the impression that mixing odex and dex was not a good idea and has caused problems before when I was working on sgs roms.
Care to give any insight as to how this is not breaking everything? Very curious as I really don't want to load my rom with dolphin browser.

From http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/dalvik/docs/dexopt.html:
There are at least three different ways to create a "prepared" DEX file, sometimes known as "ODEX" (for Optimized DEX):
The VM does it "just in time". The output goes into a special dalvik-cache directory. This works on the desktop and engineering-only device builds where the permissions on the dalvik-cache directory are not restricted. On production devices, this is not allowed.
Click to expand...

So, if I understand correctly the odexed file is optimized, but you don't _need_ to have it as the OS will take care of it with some added CPU cycles (which we have enough to go around ) and swap it out to cache. But having the pre-odexed code would do no harm - as I take it - as it is preferred in terms of CPU time, but not necessary. By deodexing firmware you're not taking the odex interpreting code out, just taking out the odex itself. Please correct any ignorance in my thoughts, but I don't really see why you couldn't mix and match.
Am I making any sense at this hour with my medication?
on VR2.0, flashed via CWM and it does not say its done? it just reboots itself to ROM.. the app is there, but FCs after a few sec.. tried deleting framework res, clear cache and dalvik too.. if any VR2.0 user managed to use it flawless, do share how did u managed to
Hmm, taking out the framework apk didn't allow the browser to work unfortunately.. Android loads fine, but the browser force closes as soon as I attempt to scroll a webpage.. Looks like this will only work with an unmodded framework apk like you mentioned.
Sent from my SGS2
So i have been toying around with getting this to work on VR2.0 lite ... but as my earlier post (#9) said .. something is screwing the browser app up.
The engine runs pretty sweet. In multiple apps that use the browser engine to display content on the web everything works fine.
But the browser fc every time I scroll a page.
I read in some post that mixing odex & deodex stuff in the rom is not appreciated by the os. So it could be just a known thing I'm diving into. (I need a second phone to start experimenting since I really don't want to brik my phone)
So .. until I have time and the patience to actually learn how this works under the hood .. I have bad news
Is there a way to do this without pulling a file and gutting it? I would like a flasheable or installable APK.
Are you rooted? What rom are you running?
Yes. Anthrax kernel, fully stock otherwise.
If you install Leedroid Tweaks, there is an option to remove.
Thanks I saw that but was under the impression it was only for GB. I dug further and found the main thread.
Installed 4.3.1 but that caused systemui.apk and something else to break continuously (cleared cache before though).
Hi,
I just installed the V16 Update for my Galaxy SIII with Ultima. The system works fine but I'm missing some things that were present in the previous Rom (V15.1). The main thing what I miss is the Touchwiz launcher, in the previous Rom I could decide which launcher I want to use, now I have an other launcher (I can't even tell you which one it is) so is there an option to get Touchwiz back on the device ? The second thing that is bothering me, is the CRT off animation. I just can't find the option to disable it like in the old Rom maybe I'm blind or something but I don't see it.
The only thing that isn't working as it should, is the application gravitybox, it tells me everytime: "GravityBox system framework not responding" I already found out that I may have to update Xposed framework and reboot the device but it just doesen't work. app_proccess is active 47 and XposedBridge.jar is 42.
Hope you can help me with this.
Thanks for every response
And sorry for the title I don't know anything better

Not sure on TouchWiz, as I don't use it... I'm sure someone will be along who will know.
The CRT animation is now part of the GravityBox settings, so until you get that up and running, you won't be able to customize much at all. Did you run the "Xposed Installer"? If so, go into that, and at the very top left there is a dropdown box. Choose 'modules' and make sure gravity box is ticked, then reboot.

Having a minor problem similar to the above thread - icons disappear from home screen after reboot for apps on sdcard.
I changed launchers from trebuchet and this seems to have remedied the problem for the time being for any other launcher so far.
The thread above suggests launcher change is only a temp remedy and unchecking fast boot android setting may help too.
But that setting is missing in cm11-0712 - anyone know if this setting still exists or where one may find it?
Thread above also suggests real issue requires an added flash of Convert2ext4 which is prob too complicated for me to understand at this point and so I wouldn't try it without more study - not even sure if this particular flash would play right with my current ROM.
Anyone else with this same problem?

Just out of curiosity - if I full wipe (i think full wipe means in cwm to do factory/data wipe & cache wipe & format system & dalvik cache wipe) and then attempt to reflash the same rom cm11_0712 - would I have to restart from scratch meaning cm9 to cm10 to cm11_0712 or can I just push cm11_0712 directly? I am asking because I think cm11 already contains a kernel embedded so this might work directly?
Then of course I would have to restore my apps from TB which I'm still working on learning how to do. But am interested in poss increasing performance by turning on ART so I'd want to turn on ART first thing and then one by one restore my apps+data. Would this also work? Or is it not advisable to restore from backups with data from before ART was enabled?
Could I poss also restore some system data like launcher & live wallpaper data settings at this point without being too destructive?
I don't think you have to start over from CM 9, unless you're coming from q stock ROM, which you aren't. But yeah, just do a full wipe and reflash CM 11. As for ART, I wouldn't recommend using it until there is CM for Android L. Oh yeah, and restore your apps BEFORE you convert to ART if you haven't ever messed around with it before. Your device will automatically do the conversion from Dalvik to ART once you enable ART in Developer Options, then you will be able to mess around with it. Hope this helps

Yes, thanks. Perhaps ART is alittle too much to bite off for now and will wait. Since my other thread talks about FC's, I was thinking ART might help too but better instead to just direct re-flash cm11 fresh vs update flash (what I had been doing and redoing). Everyone's tips very helpful too.
Just a quick update - for other reasons, I reflashed cm11 fresh (full wipe) and restored apps from TB backups. The trebuchet home screen icons still disappeared for sdcard installed apps but also poor battery life returned too. Tried to mess with settings again to save more battery life but not so good battery & this compelled me to switch to carbon ROM fresh install as a new try out.
This now has launcher3 & home icons disappear too & the few battery saving settings get the battery life to pretty good. So going to stick around with carbon for a while for now - many more settings in carbon too if that appeals. As for the icons disappearing root cause still not sure exactly but at least carbon seems to support std fix also used with cm11 to change launchers to something else. Am using smart launcher instead and home icons don't disappear with it.
