If your on a tw rom I need a few people to test if you can add apps not natively available in multi window. Have a nandroid just in case.
Navigate to /system/csc/ and open feature.xml. Add the multi-window string below and paste it just before the endnof the file, so tge end of the file looks like mine posted below. Edit the string and change bcom.android.browser and com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro to any apps you would like and seperate with a comma. Save the file, then reboot recovery, wipe cache/dalvik and reboot. Enable multi-window and hit edit to see if the new apps are available. Post your results.

I didn't even think about googling if it worked or not, when I tested and it worked I didn't think it would at first. Are they any restrictions on what you can add to this? Im on stock deodexed mdk and I always thought before that you had to modify the framework to get custom apps in multi window.

Multi Window on the Note 2 is kinda cool, but it only works with limited apps, which kinda sucks. There are 2 solutions to this - the first is to wait for developers to add support (perhaps using my guide), the second is to edit one of the framework APKs to enable other apps. The second is the most useful, but perhaps a little complex for most people.
So here's a tool to help.
This tool takes a list of apps and creates you an update zip (for flashing via clockworkmod) with a modified framework APK that enables your chosen apps for multi window support.
Important points to note...
This tool is ONLY tested on the LJ1 release, additional options are added via user requests. I STRONGLY recommend you don't use the resulting zip on a ROM version other than that for which it's intended.
Backup before flashing the update zip. No really! Or at LEAST backup the framework-res.apk.
If you don't want to use clockworkmod you can extract the framework-res.apk and push it via ADB. Make sure to set the permissions to 0644 or your device won't boot.
Be very careful to ensure that your entries in the tool are correctly formed or again you could end up with a non-booting device.
Use this tool at your own risk!
Got that? OK, let me tell you how to compile the list in the tool.
Simply, you need to enter <item> </item> tags with the 'package names' of your chosen apps in the textbox. Package names are best found on the web Play Store by looking at the URL. Here's some examples for you.
Plume on the web Play Store is at play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.levelup.touiteur - therefore the package name is com.levelup.touiteur and you should use the entry <item>com.levelup.touiteur</item>.
TVCatchup on the web Play Store is at play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gzero.tv - therefore the package name is com.gzero.tv and you should use the entry <item>com.gzero.tv</item>.
Simple eh? Just put in the ones you need, hit the button and download your update zip.
To use the tool, head on over to this topic.
Have the xml precharged samsung apps or build from 0 and we need to add chrome, talk, snote, etc?
The pre-configured stuff stays, just put in things you want to *add*.

If someone on LJ3 can post their unedited/stock framework-res.apk Paul said he should be able to update his script to deal with that too.

work perfectly! now I have about 40 apps
I'm a bit short of time, but I will add an option where you can upload your framework-res.apk for patching to avoid version issues.

if you want faster to find out package name. go to www.play.google.com then press installed apps and you will be able to find faster package name of your all installed apps

Paul did most of the leg work even for what I did. All I did was turn his findings into a mod so that people could have something while Paul worked on a better system (like this one he has made).

I threw together a little app to steamline the process a bit. This is my first android program so this thing contains a whole 3 hours of android wisdom...
It's a frankenstein mix of googled code but it gets the work done. A work in progress. This version asks for some storage/call/debug permissions which I have no idea how to remove or limit. So if that makes you feel uneasy pm me and I can send you the netbeans project in a 7z and you can check the source code and compile it yourself.
What the app does is display a list of installed packages by item name, you can then select the ones you want, hit the export button which will copy your selection to the clipboard, open a browser window to pauls page where you can paste it into the text area and download the generated apk all directly on the phone.
I would not recommend selecting all items in the list, this might have horrible consequences. Just select stuff you recognize.
For me the download popped up cfw but then failed to install the apk (possible due to file location), so I moved the apk to the root dir, rebooted to cfw recovery and then flashed just fine.
In later versions I'll see about reducing permissions, add icons to the list.
Disclaimer: Whatever you do with this app, whatever consequences come from using this app, is on you.
Thanks for the lovely apk page. <3

Hi all,

Are you adding one app. Flash the generated zip and then add one app, generate a new file and flash it? If so, dont do it that way You must add all apps you want in the same file, generate that and flash it

Hi Everyone,
I'm a long time lurker on these forums but have finally decided to make a post,
I have found these forums very helpful over the past couple of years with my android devices.
Anyway back to the thread,
When I had my old Galaxy S2 someone modded the default internet browser to have a permanent user-agent option which allowed you to select desktop user-agent so it stopped loading up mobile versions of websites.
I'm now asking kindly if someone can mod the default browser on the Note 2 to have a user agent option which permanently solves the problem of loading mobile pages
I have tried the about:debug trick but it's not a permanent fix, next time you load up your internet it resets back to android
I will also point out I have tried other browsers such as Dolphin, Firefox etc... but I honestly really like the default browser more than the others, it just needs a user agent option in the settings menu.
Thanks in advance
For the record I'm running a rooted N7100 in UK- BTU
Won't be bad but I have seen that if I select 'Desktop view' and even exit the browser when I go back in I see the same website loading as Desktop mode. So I think it remembers the option.

Yes but when you open a new page it then goes back to android,
I know this might seem a small issue and may not bother some users but it's just something that bothers me,
I know someone modded the browser on the galaxy s2 so I'm sure it can be done on the Note 2
Yeah, I'd love to set my user agent as an iPad, so that I'd get tablet sites.

I did add that string in the others.xml file using the text editor in root explorer, i saved and rebooted but it hasn't worked

Works perfectly. Thanks!
After reboot, original build.prop is back and the vzw files dropped the .bak. I am rooted, but not unlocked so wp is on, and I guess native tether is not gonna work. Didn't try it before reboot though.

Product of wp being on. You can try to open my build.prop and copy and paste the entire prop into your file effectively replacing the contents. See if that takes.

@Topsnake, is it possible to rig your previous MOD ([MOD][ROOT]Native Wireless Tether for build 19.6.3) for 4.4.4?
It appears that having a modded VZWEntitlementServices.apk which takes care of the native tether and only that is a cleaner solution than modifying the build.prop as the latter is referenced a lot by many processes which, consequently, could lead to far reaching side effects.
BTW, do you know if anyone tried your VZWEntitlementServices.apk on 4.4.4?

Thought I replied to this.
The 19.5.3 would probably work for 4.4.4 but I haven't tried it.
The build.prop is a much cleaner install when done correctly.

@Topsnake can you please elaborate on the changes you made to the stock buiuld.prop file?
I know you've mentioned in another thread that your method and the one using EntitlementBypass-v1.2.apk (from Moto X forum) are using the same commends. Would I be correct assuming that you've:
1. Added net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
and
2. Changed ro.mot.tether_dun_required to 0
Are those are the only difference between your build.prop and the stock one?
The reason I ask, is that, as I said earlier in this thread, build.prop is pretty significant file (from what I understand) and sets a lot of variables and settings. I'm hesitant to modify it in fears that by enabling native tether other unwanted side effects would arise.
Thanks

So then copy the contents of the build prop into yours or replace it all together. It takes of all about 3 seconds.
It will be the same.

"I'm not required to disclose the details of any mod to you" - this might or might not be true as I'm not familiar with Open Source Licensing and you might be required to disclose. Regardless, you did not, that's part why you came across as not completely honest.
The fact that most developers (Jcase, Faux123, beaups, iKrYpToNiTe, just to name a few) DO disclose everything makes me thank that you might be required to do full disclosure.
"Either apply it, or don't." - I did not. I applied command provided by iKrYpToNiTe

If you are really that concerned about the build.prop being altered in a way that you feel the need to be worried, then simply compare your current build.prop to the modified one that topsnake has provided. It's that simple. No need to start arguments about what one person feels is better or safer or whatever else you think; I personally research anything that I do to my phone by tearing down apk's or batch files or whatever it might be that I'm applying to my phone to see what is being done. By doing this it also helps you learn how these exploits work and helps you learn more about your phone in general.
If you're not comfortable with changing files then don't do it. It's that simple.
Not calling any one particular person out in general, but there is so much of the same information continually being repeated that it is extremely frustrating. I'm to the point where I don't even try and help because I'm just repeating what I said a page or two back, or the post directly below.

Hi all,
I have got a modified version of the below script but attempting flashing in TWRP gets an "Error 6" code. I have a rooted S8 running Android 7.0
*NOTE: I am NOT taking credit for this script and I have simply downloaded it and wanted to use with my S8. I have messaged @Windforce0511 to seek guidance on how to get this to work but we were unable to workout what is wrong with this modified version.
The script is "DEBLOAT_Script_Samsung_Nougat&Marshmallow_Windfor ce0511.zip" taken from https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...cript-t3649953 however I have attached my modified version "Debloat S8 Script.zip"
I'm not really sure what may be causing the error. I edited some lines within Notepad ++ but must have got something wrong.
The intention of the script is to massively debloat and leave only core functionality. It's essentially including all the stuff I have safely frozen.
So if anyone is able to have a look at the zip and see what's gone wrong that'd be great. I'm mindful that there may be APKs listed in the script to delete that may not exist in our S8 firmware, but I presume that if something isn't present it'll just skip passed that and move onto the next entry?
And again, this isn't my original work and neither am I claiming this is ready to flash, as it currently doesn't work!
Perhaps if we can get this to work then we can add to it, ammend it and make this a 'working debloat script thread', as I know I'm not alone in wanting to debloat. I know there is debate whether one should or not, but as far as Android goes, it's always nice to have the option! I would love to make this script grow (once working of course) and have it remove all non-essential apk's, libs etc. This is of course subjective so would be great if we could work together and create custom scripts, like extreme debloat and light versions...

Hi all,
I have got a modified version of the below script but attempting flashing in TWRP gets an "Error 6" code. I have a rooted S8 running Android 7.0
*NOTE: I am NOT taking credit for this script and I have simply downloaded it and wanted to use with my S8. I have messaged @Windforce0511 to seek guidance on how to get this to work but we were unable to workout what is wrong with this modified version.
The script is "DEBLOAT_Script_Samsung_Nougat&Marshmallow_Windfor ce0511.zip" taken from https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...cript-t3649953 however I have attached my modified version "Debloat S8 Script.zip"
I'm not really sure what may be causing the error. I edited some lines within Notepad ++ but must have got something wrong.
The intention of the script is to massively debloat and leave only core functionality. It's essentially including all the stuff I have safely frozen.
So if anyone is able to have a look at the zip and see what's gone wrong that'd be great. I'm mindful that there may be APKs listed in the script to delete that may not exist in our S8 firmware, but I presume that if something isn't present it'll just skip passed that and move onto the next entry?
And again, this isn't my original work and neither am I claiming this is ready to flash, as it currently doesn't work!

That worked! Before I flashed your version I edited the script in my phone to just remove the EasterEgg system apk, and flashed away and it worked!
May I ask what was wrong with it and what you did to fix it? Was it that I edited it on the PC?
line 228 had an extra ");" and line 262 didnt have ")
also because you used wrong character encoding for edify your script had a bunch of junk when opened in the correct encoding. im not totallty sure if theres a wrong or right encode but i use "windows-1252" an ive never had any issue just make sure you open am save in that format notepad++ is probably best to use on linux i use geany on android i like using quickedit pro !

Hi guys, sorry but please don't mind me asking what about the Format & Language? Does EOL conversion & Blank Operations matter?
Coincidentally, I am also having Error 6 in TWRP while trying to flash my own debloat script, its really frustrating to edit > zip > reboot > flash > fail > reboot > unzip > edit all over again and again and again.
Hope any of you could shine me some light. Cheers.
Regards,
Dar

There's a Samsung feature that only works in some devices, and it is the ability to select several pictures to set them as the background of the lock screen, so it changes every time the screen is turned on. The only way to do this officially with A7 (2018) is through Samsung Themes, choosing a "multi-pack" background. There's no other possible way (you cannot select a couple of images from Gallery and set them as background, for example).
But there is a "hidden" app that is called My Interests, which lets you to choose multiple backgrounds for the lock screen. The problem with this is that if you try to launch it through an activity launcher it says that the app needs the storage permission to work, but you can't enable it because the request of that permission has not been declared in the app code. So I've edited it to add that request, and it works properly.
If you want to do it yourself, or just want to know what I have done:
To make this APK, I've edited the original APK with APK Editor Pro, and I've added in the AndroidManifest.xml the following line between the other requests for permissions:
Code:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
Then I've built the app, and the generated APK file has been cloned with APK Cloner, in order to avoid conflicts with the original app.
To install it:
Install the attached APK
Install and open QuickShortcutMaker
In the search box, write updatos, it should appear one result which icon is a picture of a mountain
Open it and select the first element of the list, and then select "Try"
Accept the permission
Now you are able to choose the images you want with the "+" button, and then set them as the background of the lock screen
You can also add a widget to your home screen to add the activity as an icon, so it is quicker to change the backgrounds.
Just make a permission file and put it in system/etc/permissions

But in that case you would need root access.
I'm getting a "Clones are device locked" error when I do the "Try it" option.
I installed app cloner but I can't seem to do anything with it. Any ideas?
Edit: I made a clone of com.samsung.android.keyguardwallpaperupdatos.apk but when I try to set permissions, there is none available for storage. Agh.

So it looks like if I clone an app it can only be installed in the same device...
When I have time I will upload the edited APK without cloning and change the steps, because you will need to clone it.
Thanks for the feedback
So I did your steps, I downloaded the original APK from APKMirror, edited the XML and then cloned it.
I was able to launch the shortcut, and it let me select multiple backgrounds but it only applies one. I think Samsung might have blocked this... I'm currently using a Galaxy A50. Maybe I should try an older version?

It changes, but it takes some time. In other devices (where this feature is official) it changes every time you see the lockscreen, but with this method the change is not that frequent.

How did you make it work?
after doing all the installtion steps do this;
in quickshortcut maker app search ''updator'' instead of ''updatos''
there will be 2 search results open the first one and tap try now it should allow you to do this.
the trick is to open the one with updator mentioned in it. thats the official one preinstalled in the phone.

I know. But the thing is that the one that is preinstalled doesn't have the needed permissions registered, so they can't be enabled. That's why the APK file has to be edited, to manually add those permissions.
