Idea for MultiWindow - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hi guys,
This just ocurred to me. I was reading that the korean jb has multiwindow and that its hardware is very similar to our notes. Both use a snapdragon S3 and the adreno 220. Can it be posible to port? I was just trying to port multiwindow into my own and I was able to make flashbar appear, get the toggle in settings. When you open the first app it opens like normal, now the second you see that it has the little box to divide the screen, but it opens the second app in full. But you'll see a bar in the middle that is the divider for multiwindow. I don't know something im missing or something. Will post pics later So you can see what im talking about.

I'm drooling with anticipation. ..I hope you figure it out!

This is as far as I have. I have modified the following
SecSettings.apk to add the multiwindow option
android.policy.jar
services.jar (I saw multiwindow smali inside so I did not modify any of it)
Added:
FlashBarService.apk (Taken from the N7000)
multiwindow.jar
com.sec.android.app.multiwindow.xml
com.sec.feature.flashbar.xml
com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml
com.sec.feature.multiwindow.xml
I dont know if I'm missing other things to get it fully working. Im just learning.

do the 2 halves behave differently as if 2 instances of the same app is running?

No. It's like I opened the app in full, but I see the divider.

Maybe the apps themselves are tide into the multi window app. Have you installed the browser from the Korean note and tried it like that?

Man this is gonna be awesome! Even if you don't succeed I'm just thankful that you're at least trying! Good luck and many thanks!

I believe lildoggs may be somewhere in the general direction. I've been reading threads from the n7000 and note 2 threads about modding apps to be capable with multiwindow, if they aren't already supported. So if you can install the browser and maybe messenger app from the korean note, and they work that would be great. If not maybe try this tutorial from this thread to modify a few apps yourself and see if it works.
also check out this multi window manager app from the playstore if indeed you did get it working to maybe mod an app. I'm not dev, but just throwing out some things I think may be of some use to you.

I'm currently at work but will try them when I get home. Like I mentioned before from my research I see that we already have the smali files for multiwindow inside services.jar. Maybe we need the apps to be compatible.

Good luck man.

Some guys over on the Note2 have found that there is a module for exposed called all apps it looks like that allows any app to be used with the multi window.

Tried the xposed method but still gets me the same results. Eventhough the modules allow to use any app in multiwindow. I must be missing something in the jar that Im not seeing. Will look into it tonight. Thanks to everyone for you help btw. Any idea is welcome.

What about porting the whole rom? Is there any way to make it compatable with our note?

[App] Quick-Notes for the S Pen

Hey, everyone. This is Obasi42, creator of Obasi Apps and Quick-Notes for the S Pen. Please don't take this thread as an advertisement for my application. I am simply desperate for your help right now.
As you may know, there is a contest going on right now for the best S Pen applications. I understand that my application isn't nearly good enough to win, but I do want to have a fighting chance out there. So, to anyone who already uses my app, or anyone who is curious to find out more, or anyone who just wants to help: can you please tell me what features you would like implemented in this application?
Here's a link to it in the market (it's free!):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.obasiapps.productivity.quicknotes
Bonus question: I'm also creating a gaming app, so what games would you like created for the S Pen?
The competition ends Tuesday, so, you can see why I'm in a hurry.
Thanks!
I tried it out. It's a good, basic memo app. Here are my criticisms-
I would much prefer this show up as an app. I like to have my search button go directly to vlingo.
It's a bit too basic. The s-pen memo app that comes with the phone does the same thing except you have a lot more color choices.
I'd really like to be able to embed pics and maybe voice notes.
Your app is definitely on to a good start. Good luck with the competition!

Why can't I run your app on my Note? I have it installed but its icon is not with the other apps. When I go into settings, it shows that it is installed, but there is no way for me to launch it.
Weird.

Had that issue also. I'm rooted so I installed touchscreentune and it sorted that all out. Samsung needs to come up with a native app that does the same thing.

Here's my take on the search button long press to launch. Some ppl have reassigned the search button. That may affect the operation without an app drawer icon.

Play store says the app is not compatible with my Note and Captivate. Wth.
Running stock ICS btw.

Note 2 Photo Editor

Guys as you would know verizon didnt add stock samsung photo editor to the phone and its not available from play store either. So i was able to get my hands on an apk if anyone needs.

I have the stock calendar widget APK from the Sprint Note 2. It works, but force closes a couple times when you first add the 4x4 calendar widget, but seems to work well after that. I think the issue might be that I got the APK and not the odex file. So I'm running the sprint note 2 calendar widget with the original odex file. I'm waiting for the user over in the sprint forum who provided the apk to send me a odex file. I'm not a developer so I'm not sure if this is really a possible cause for the issue. I'm just grabbing at straws.
Fixed my issues. Instructions are in the general section. Maybe it should be moved to this section. I dont know...
I installed this app just like any other APK and it Force closes. Not only that but now other apps FC like Maps etc. Any suggestions besides rooting and fixing permissions? Also I when the App does work I can only use half of the features. I really want to wait for CWM tar to root.

I tried downloading several it just says "Application not installed." I seen a flashable .zip file for the SGS III that has the Noteboox app.. but im afraid to use it, because the update script, binary is for the SGS (not sure if that makes a difference). I've learned not to flash things from other phones. Is it safe for me to flash it?

If you have an apk that won't install you can try putting it in system apps setting permissions and rebooting.

The apps would need to be modified. The apps call for resources in the stock framework n systemui. You'll have to transfer those resources to the apps them self n change any internal link to the new location of the resources. It's been done but it's allot of work.

Thank you for explaining this. I used the method I described to pull DSP Manager from one ROM and put it in another one. But this is obviously more complicated.
Edit... Mystery gave me an idea and it seems to have worked, pulled apk from gnex zip and installed it.
After tinkering for awhile using a terminal emulator, somehow I have the LG Notebook app. I've noticed a few bugs but all are really really minor. I'm trying to figure out how I did this but it worked somehow.

The differences are the AndroidManifest.XML files and the working apk has a file called libpolatispdfexplorer.so (Notebook.apk/lib/armeabi/libpolarispdfexplorer.so) I think that might be something necessary for it to work.

It's basically displaying Google results in app format. I'd like it much more of it was a widget instead of home launcher. At least I can keep it as an app.

If you type it out as everything.me, it will show up in the search bar where you can then click on it in the app store. But you are right, even searching for it correctly it won't show up in the list of apps. My guess would be because it is in beta. I believe the app store recently opened itself to beta apps, but they may be stored separately.
They are now available in parts of Europe.

I've seen a few links for it around here, but I've had issues with it not being able to keep up with my typing. Or maybe the reverse of that... As I'm typing, it tries to autocorrect to a word when I'm not yet finished typing...
