I tried porting the files, but it didn't work. I really dont know what other things need to be modified. I downloaded the mod and saw that it changed the android.policy.jar which I modified. Maybe some other smali needs to be changed.

I would be a happy man if we had some Multi window action haha

Have you tried to talk with the author of that mod?
Maybe he can shed some lights on it.

I have the multi window feature on an international note I'm using temporarily (my wife wants to try a smartphone) to replace my i717. I haven't even used it yet and can't think of a situation where I could have been better off for using it. I guess people want what they can't have.

IMO in would enjoy texting and videos or email and browser. I would find a use a lot

I have played around with it on s3s and I thought it was a pretty useful feature.
Sent from my SGH-I717D using xda app-developers app

Thanks for the insights. I guess my eyes aren't up to that. I got the note so I could enjoy the large screen. I imagine its just a matter of time before its available.

I used it on a s3 and i dont think i would use it asuch as i thought but i dunno... I just use the recent apps to jump around

Yeah, I think its not a practical thing on a note, but on a 7inch or larger tablet it ciuld be useful for the ways the previous posters described.

Must have
This is a must have feature for people like me because i am always trying to do three things at once with my phone but if i can do two at a time thats a time saver. Blackstar ROMs almost have this perfected. They have the multi window app tray when you hold the back button and you can pull apps out to use for multi window but they do come out half size so they just overlap. I tried downloading Multi window manager and it tried to patch an XML file i think but it still didnt work after. If anyone has some advice on how to get it to work you should check it out

Launcher from bionic and Droid 3?

Any way to get whatever version of "blur" the bionic and Droid 3 ported to the photon?
My friend has a bionic and his wife has the Droid 3 and their versions of blur are smoother and faster than the "blur" we have. Id use the stock launcher if it was like theirs. Ours is slow and laggy. Both demo units at my local stores were laggy as well so I know its notmy phone.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Strange, my Blur runs smooth without any hiccups, and im running setcpu at 608mhz. So its underclocked on stock rom and kernel.

I read it has something to do with widgets, not sure if its the number of widgets, Motorola widgets or android widgets that cause the issue.

even with this monster of information reading and work to put in, I would love to see what you brought up........ its shady we got the low end of the stick their launcher is way better than ours ud think with nVid gpu we have id be more likely to have some better animations.... but noooo........ id like to see someone port this over... id gladly donate to the dev that can port the bionic launcher over to our mopho....
This has already been attempted. A few devs have taken a look at this. In my limited time I took a shot also and couldn't figure it out. The search button helps a lot before you start a new thread.

I brought this same thing up when the phone first launched. I really want the droid 3 launcher but it looks like that is a pretty hard task. Motorola's file structure seems to be the most complicated besides Samsung and it's harder than probably thought to be..
I don't think we will officially see it because it's really made for the whole DRoid push that verizon has. I saw somewhere that we actually don't have a blur phone so that's why we are not getting it. The verizon phones are running motoblur.

Intelliscreen x for android

Can anyone try to do this for android I'll even pay for it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwx9PUX_tz8&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I thought the same thing.
i Know Android And iPhone is 2 diffrence things..
and i dont wanna here "OF TO YOUR iPHONE" And such stuff.
i love my Galaxy S2Rooted, but i really love this IntelliscreenX to..
i would love to see this for android, the problem is i dont know how to do such stuff. but, is there any in any way, that anyone could make this for android?, WITH a lookalike Notification Bar?
i would love it!
peace out..
I don't get it, you have the exact same functionality already with the use of widgets/multiple homescreens and the standard notification bar. You can already cram pretty much anything you want in there - what's the point?
I use executive assistant+ , it's pretty close.

So if you don't get it we understand, no one would ever want it, right?
I've tried all posstible lockscreen substitutes there is on my Note3, but no one is even close to the intelliscreenx for the iphone.
I've tried nils, c locker and you name it but sadly they are just useless. I want to configure and actually use that large lockscreen exactly the way I want. This is close to impossible. The intelliscren guys made it right the first time. Can't believe this is not available for android.

Great info on build.prop tweaks

As many of you know, there are high numbers of so-called "tweaks" you can add to your build.prop for "performance". However, after testing some of them I noticed quite a few actually hindered performance. I am not a follower of these "placebo" affects as many are consumed by. I stumbled across this article which was written by someone who shared the same results. Sort of a MYTHBUSTERS but for build.prop edits.

I came across this towards my last build of SR. Great info

Ain't nobody got time for that
If one was using the stock ROM but had it rooted, updating would presumably deroot the device, right? Or would the update fail?
I meant Q-slide was suppose to be working with other apps, like the whole browser not just certain videos, and it was suppose to work with other apps natively. In the notification bar there was suppose to be a Q-slide bar under the brightness bar and you could select apps to play over your current app.

I'm sure someone will. And then ROMs without AT&T bloat will come out. Just have a little patience. We've all waited this long, what's another day or two?

Can always bloat unistaller from market.
bloat isn't really a factor here but we can all expect better JB roms
Took AT&T long enough
I'd like to share some battery results... it's phenomenal so far. Installed and then took a nap for ~2 hours, that's where it flat lined at 16%. A little early to say, but first impressions are legit.

yes i need an external download for the update since im from israel and i think i cant update cuz of im outside of us
Does this help out the devs? I'm hoping this will help fix the last issues so I can rock a proper AOSP ROM. I can go without the camera, but need my GPS.

Dude I NEVER had that option since I took the phone out the box at the AT&T store. You're saying you had that to begin with? I find that very odd....
So I did some searching around to see exactly what Q Slide is SUPPOSED to be and I think you must have this feature confused with something else or another phone all together. Even on various videos and LG's own website, Q Slide is used to watch VIDEOS and use apps at the same time. It says absolutely nothing about having 2 different apps on top of each other at the same time. I think you are confusing yourself mate.

Something new you learn about your Mega...

So, I hope others add to this thread. I learned something new to me and thought I'd share.
There were several times when I picked up my phone, and it vibrated. For no reason. I thought this was odd. But, there was a reason. I just didn't know it. I have been reading the samsung site's FAQ and was enlightened.
When you pick up your mega and it vibrates, it is telling you there is a missed call, text, voicemail or other notification waiting. It's called Smart Alert. Very convenient if you have notifications limited to 1. Never had a phone do this before. I like it!!:laugh:
I learned my Mugen 6600mah battery is a beast giving me double battery life lol naw I'm playing. Glad to see someone else noticed that vibration thing...but running custom 4.4.2 it doesn't do it anymore.cheerz
*SHAYNEZ*KCCO*
I will throw in one. On the lock screen, I added a widget for the remote. Now, I don't even have to unlock the phone to turn the tv down. I really like the IR feature.
dmn i wasnt sure what those vibrations supose to do ( for me it was more like "haha im not sleepn any more" lol )
IR is pretty sweet. what apks u use to use ur mega as remote controller?
I just use the Samsung stock WatchOn for IR remote. It works well with my dish recievers and televisions. Is there something I should look at that is better?

If you use 2 fingers to pull down the notification panel you'll get instant access to the shortcuts. I used to pull the panel down with 1 finger then click the gear icon to access it before.

I like your version of that vibration!! I used to think it was just saying "HI, still here!"
I use the stock watch on too. I found this by accident. Was going thru the unfamiliar apps in the apps drawer, clicked on it and found a very cool thing!!! Works on optonline's cable box! Very cool. I have the Note 8 and never found this one. It's there though! Just had to hunt for it.
Keep um coming guys!!! Thanks for your participation! :highfive:
I just learned over the weekend that my Mega can be used an an IR remote for my Nikon camera. Does all sorts of stuff that the Nikon remote does, and for free ($4 if I want the ad-free version, which I'm considering).
I like that when I am txting someone.... I can tap on the paperclip and choose "record audio".. then it gives me over 3 minutes of yapping and yapping.. so much easier than typing or even using the voice typing.. 3 minutes of my own speech.. in a txt message!!! love it
Ohh i just learn today this, if you update your mega 6.3 I9200 to the new firmware you will get this beautiful security call KNOX :banghead: ahhh i lost my root :thumbdown: so if you get the OTA Update you should think twice before upgrading.

Can someone explain exactly why knox is so bad? Does it keep you from re-rooting?
This is what I know about it so far. It makes a separate "box" of stuff so you can keep your work stuff separate from your personal stuff and your employers have the ability to control this "box" somehow. I know it can't be un-installed. That's about all my knowledge, even after checking it out!

There is no going back to older version rom if you flash a knox enabled rom. You are stuck with it. You can't install custom roms either.

Sorry, but it's no way... new firmware is one way ticket - you can't go back even if you have nandroid backup. New bootloader prevent you from downgrading. Anyway in my opinion it is only matter of time to find a way to root new firmware with KNOX. And when 4.4.2 arrives there will be no other choice than upgrade with all what it contains... and one of this things will be KNOX for sure.
Since no one is jumping in here to explain why knox is so bad, I went back to find out exactly what knox is. Read the following link from samsung's site.
http://www.samsung.com/global/business/mobile/solution/security/samsung-knox/
This explains what it is. I still need to know why it is so bad for devs to get around it. Any one???
What I got so far after reading the above link is it is attached to the bootloader, and the kernel, so if anyone messes with these components, the phones senses it and shuts down the phone. Is this the huge block associated with the att version and knox in general?
I ha e discovered that in my text window, when I hit vol + or - , my text size will increase or decrease. Hmmmmm.

This has nothing to do with knox
The bootloader will block any older roms.
But it's still possbile to flash an older rom through custom recovery
