1) The haptic feedback on pressing the Home button feels ever so slightly delayed compared to how it was original in GB and the other GB ROMs. Could be in my head. Anyone else experiencing this and if so, know how to fix it?
2) Apex launcher that is included in the ROM seems cool but to put widgets on the home screen it says I need to install it as a system app or have root or something. I have root of course - how do I get it as a system app?
3) When I try to install the Chrome beta browser it's giving me "Error - Error processing purchase" dialog. Any ideas on how to fix this? When google searching this problem it seems like it might be on Google's end and I should just wait it out.
4) People in the dev forum are talking about some multi-dpi fix. I didn't run that since I have no clue what that is or what they're talking about.
5) Also people are saying that the VM heap is wrong or something on this build. I have no idea what that is or how it will effect me.
Okay I think that is all for now. Thanks!

Might be a little delayed, it's a leaked release, so anything is possible. I haven't noticed it. Don't think you're going to fix it.

You move the apk to system/app using Root Explorer or another file manager that has access to the root directory.

Sorry, installation was fine for me. Have you tried installing from the website and pushing to your phone instead of directly on your phone.

Multi-DPI fix are for people who are running their phones with a DPI (Dots Per Inch) that is different from the stock 320 DPI. A lot of people use an LCD Density of 240 which causes some poorly (read Samsung TouchWiz apps) written apps to scale badly on screen, like the dialer. If you aren't changing your DPI then you don't have to worry about the fix. They won't hurt anything, but they're not needed for you.

I'm the wrong person to give details on how the VM Heap works, but the stock ICS leak uses 256 and people have claimed performance improvements by reducing the VM Heap to 128 or 64. I've got it at 128 and it seems to have improved performance, but I cannot say for sure.
You can change LCD Density and VM Heap with apps like ROM Toolbox. You can also move Apex to system/app with ROM Toolbox. It's a rather useful app.

If you have titanium backup you go to backup/restore tab and locate Apex launcher. Long press on it and at the bottom you will see "convert to system app".

This is my first post here.
I recently switched from iPhone to Note 2. I was very drawn towards a large screen with lots of real estate. The note 2 out of the box didn't do it for me. However, I read the discussions about the international version and people changing the DPI with ROMs and other methods and figured if they could do it, so could I.
After waiting 5 weeks for my pre-order to arrive, then a week for the developers to provide a root option, I finally have my wish. Here is how I did it.
1. Root
2. Install a custom launcher (I installed nova, which works for me.) Set it as default
3. Install a new keyboard and set it as default
4. Install LCD Resolution from play store. I found nowhere that discussed this option, but I tested on a GS3, GS1, and Droid Charge and it worked better than the other DPI changers.
5. Set PPI to 240 in LCD Resolution. Uncheck Always Set on Boot until you know it will be stable. This caught me in a boot loop on the GS3. The only other res I tried was 160 and it failed.
6. Reboot.
It should work great. There are a few things to note:
1. The camera looks bad. I have not replaced it with a new one yet. - Please post any suggestions.
2. The calculator and dialer dont look amazing but are usable.
3. Email in portrait doesn't use the whole screen. I use it in landscape and it great.
4. Clock does not work, but can be replaced easily. I have not found a new alarm to use yet. - Please post any suggestions.
If you get another DPI to work well, let us know.
Otherwise, this is a great mod if you need more real estate on your new screen without loosing any of the s-pen or other stock functionality.
Thanks to those of you who helped root...
hmm, doesn't seem to work for me. The prompt in the app to reboot doesn't do anything.
Can we see some screen caps?
just do it manually it doesnt cause boot loops. You can change it to any DPI you want.
Use root explorer
navigate to "System/Build props"
Hold down "build props"
choose "open with"
then choose "text editor"
scroll down a few lines look for "ro.sf.lcd_density=320"
Change the 320 to whatever you want, I use 240.
click "save and exit",
reboot your device,
profit.
Why would you want to change it if it makes stuff look bad?
you can also edit the build.prop via rom toolbox really easily and the results are attached. 240dpi is first 320dpi is second.
Your Samsung keyboard will also crash at 240dpi but you can replace it with this one made by bala_gamer http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1501015&d=1353535434

I haven't done it yet but a lower dpi would be great on this phone. It would let you take more advantage of such a large screen real estate.

It doesn't really break anything from what I've noticed, just makes a few things appear a bit differently, but still fully functional. It's worth a shot if you're interested in doing it, and you can always change back if you find it unmanagable. Personally, a per app dpi would be ideal, because you don't always prefer every app to be at 240 dpi. But I really like it, especially with the on screen nav buttons, which even those make some apps SLIGHTLY off, but still plenty usable, and worth the small inconvenience. To each their own though.

Is there anyway I can get the steps to you method I tried using the apps but it didn't work and now I got a white line at the top of the screen. Am flashing back to stock root to see if it will remove it. I also tried root explore but would lose the multi window edit option. Now am going for ROM tool box. Any pointers would be great.

The white line is probably the miui battery bar, see if its on in settings> custom settings> battery bar settings. As far as the dpi, just use a root explorer to go into system>Apps>build.prop, then long press build.prop and open in text editor and change the line with "screen/lcd density" and change the value to 240(or whatever you want). Hit menu and save/exit then reboot. You are correct that you lose the edit function in multi windows, but you can always change back to edit your apps, then switch back. The change only takes 10 seconds.

Why you would want to is easy. Ever used a tablet and seen tablet mode on apps? Stock DPI prevents apps from entering tablet mode and that was one feature I was looking very forward to with such a big screen.

I couldn't get that to work either. I think it ma be a touchwiz conflict.
Just experienced my 2nd screen/sleep of death today, and unfortunately I'm thinking it's from the dpi. Going to change and will report back if I discover otherwise. I'll also leave my nav bar on, just to eliminate that variable. Bummer...I really hope we can incorporate a per app dpi on this phone at some point, maybe paranoid android(as long as it's reasonably compatible with the s-pen).
I also noticed my "android system" under battery was going through the roof. It was going over the screen %, but now that I changed the dpi back, it's already back under.

Hello. Can someone help me learn about dpi settings?
I recall seeing a post in Beans thread that explained how to change the dpi globally to desired setting and then noted the app exceptions to be changed in the per app dpi; however, I've gone back 18 pages (and will continue to look) and still haven't found it.
I also titled search for dpi, read the majority of those threads and haven't found it there either.
I'd love to better understand what it does for me, such as applications opening in a tablet mode instead? I do realize it makes stuff smaller and sharper?
Thnx!

Changing the DPI of apps is what ParanoidAndroid is famous for so if you want to see it in action the easiest way to see oer app DPI settings would be to watch some PA videos about it.
As for the Beans global app DPI changes I have no earthly clue, I run CleanRom and Vanilla Rootbox mostly, but if you want to mess around with it look up the Xposed Framework and the plugin for it that allows per app DPI changes. I would install that and play around with it if it was my first time using per app DPI settings.
I wish I could be more specific about Beans but seeing as how I dont run it I have no clue about it.... Maybe someone who does will be able to help a bit more.

Thank you. I'm familiar and have Xposed Framework installed along with App Settings and can change per app dpi. I'm just trying to better educate myself on what apps are good for "phablet" or tablet mode and how to get them there. Also, wondering about global changes. I have the below instructions but am just trying to read up what I can expect to see, etc...
"navigate to "system" and long press "build.prop", and choose to "open with - text editor". There should be 2 lines, 1 near the top, and 1 near the bottom that say something along the line of ro.sf.lcd_density=320, change that number to 240. Do that for both lines."

As far as I understood build prop changes it for all your apps and can cause some to not work properly with the Play store hence why they came out with the work around with PA and Xposed.
A lot of apps have tablet mode that gets activated when you change the dpi, the best way is just to test really. I havent seen a definitive list of which apps work and which dont so....

Ok, so it's just the leaked 4.4 launcher. On the Max, at least for me, all you have to install the launcher, attempt to open it (you will be met with an error,) and then the next time you attempt to open it by pressing home, it should work without a problem. I am using the latest HTC update, but I don't think the results will vary if you haven't done the OTA yet. Again, you don't have to install all three files. The other two won't even install without root, anyway.
Link to the page I found this on: http://www.phonearena.com/news/How-to-install-the-new-Google-launcher-and-apps-from-Android-4.4-KitKat-keyboard-Hangouts-camera-wallpapers_id48969
Direct link to the apk: http://www.mediafire.com/download/3ina0fd8fwki5fo/GoogleHome.apk
Enjoy!
Observations: It looks cool enough, like stock Android before it, but updated. There is the persistent google now bar that is non-removable. Saying "ok google" on the home screens (except settings/app drawer) will bring up google now voice search, and swiping to the far left page will bring up google now. Pages will be added dynamically - that is, you can't have an empty page. If you need to add a widget, you hold down on an empty spot or press menu (pinching is not available, and it's not linked to the app drawer anymore.) Lastly, the lockscreen will still remain the same, and like all other launchers on all other HTC phones, you cannot use your HTC widgets.
More stuff: If you looked at the page, and were hungry for the 4.4 camera, don't bother. Pano/photosphere do not work.

owned the max briefly, loved the home screen (with the update widgets, like facebook etc, was wondering if this was feature of the launcher or a widget? and if we can port this feature to other devices) I appreciate your prompt response.
The Sense lock screen and widgets can only be ported to other HTC phones due to all the files in the background (the framework.) It is not impossible, but it is pretty difficult.

Don't base your opinion of HTC's on the One Max, there is virtually no developing going on for this device on Verizon or sprint or the international version. I've had 7 htc's and they've all had a lot of great developers making lots of roms and themes, but the One Max just hasn't been that way. There are about 3 or 4 really great ROMs and a couple themes, BUT THATS IT. I'd suggest ViperRom.

Hi all,
I took a few minutes (literally) to whip up an Xposed module which adds more apps to the Lenovo MultiWindow app found on (at least) Yoga Tablet 2 Pro devices.
It took quite a few days to first figure out an app list, then a selectable list, and finally transferring data between the frontend and the xposed part...
Please be aware that some apps may cause issues if run in a window.
If Steam is not logged on, it will open the app in a window saying "you need to logon", and open the logon dialog as regular fullscreen app in the background.
At least CPU Spy and Titanium Backup lose their background color (last screenshot).
And so on - I am not responsible for how any app behaves.
Finally there is an (not too well done) app picker which allows to pick apps that will be shown in the whitelist (press multiwindow, press + -> whitelist).
After saving any changes in the picker, a reboot is required for the new selection to show.
Requirements:
- Xposed Framework installed
Tested on Yoga Tablet 2 Pro 1380F, 1050L/F and 830LC. Please report back for other devices.
Works on 4.4 and 5.0.
Instructions:
- download attachment or select from Xposed Download list
- run the app, pick the apps to show in MultiWindow, save
- enable the module in Xposed
- reboot
- open MultiWindow, press the 'edit' button at the end of the list, select which apps should show in the MultiWindow selector, confirm with OK.
Changelog:
2015.03.08 - 0.5.1 - fixed java exception if device is rebooted before picking any apps (thanks @tonyp for reporting)
2015.01.05 - 0.5 - added app picker
2014.12.17 - 0.1 - initial release, static list
GitHub repository: https://github.com/subworx/LenovoMultiWindowMod
Todo:
- restore selected apps on picker launch
- exchange screen shots

You could give it a try, breaking multiwindow should not break the tablet in general so you can still remove the mod.

I have no idea about Lenovo's plans.
You can always try to use the 1380F MultiWindow though.
Download the file here, unpack it and push both files to the phone, then move them to /system/app/ and change permissions to the same as all other files in there.
If owner is not root/root, change that as well.
After a reboot, the button might show on the left corner of the navigation bar at the bottom.

You are right, the settings.apk source contains a subfolder /com/lenovo/settings/multiwindow with 4 files.
Should I send you a copy of the settings app?
Although I guess the StatusBar/NavBar app(s) would need to be changed as well.

I added Settings, SettingsProvider, as well as NotificationCenter and NotificationCenterPlus to this archive, that should be all files related to MultiWindow.

well, I tried, and was not successful. I decomplied S8-50's settings.apk, and compare to @subworx 's setting.apk he sent me...I added "multiwindow" piece back to S8-50's settings.apk, and recomplied...but did not work, got bootlop...also during the recompile, it complained about missing resources here and there, it turned out this is not a simple mode after all...In S8-50's settings.apk, Lenovo simple removed every bit of "multiwindow" feature, not like they just simply disabled (wish they did), so putting them back to S8-50's settings.apk is quite painful....
Can someone implement mod like it for cm12 based roms? Or if there already stuff like it, point me to it..
