[Q] Non TouchWIz rom with multi window and wifi priority? - Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development

Since my trusty SlimKat started acting weird after last update I thought I look for rom which supports some things I lacked in SlimKat. But to my amazement I cant find any that will fulfil all my requirements. And I don't require anything fancy.
In in order of priority.
Stable
Wi-fi priorities
pure android look - No TouchWiz or MIUI
Multi window
preferably KitKat based
Dark theme
I'm sure it exist I just can't find it

I think all kitkat ROM's have reached stability that you desire, but I am not sure if any ROM has feature #4.

and its hard ...maybe you can try xposed to get multi floating windows but you will get away from ART

Guys, this is a development forum. There the Q&A section for these questions.

I tried xposed framework multi windows but it's somewhat buggy. For example chrome was always starting in window even if I don't wanted it to. And my rom seem less stable when I was using it.

Persistent issue with all ROMs

Is there a specific reason as to why every ROM I'm on, if I use PIE, or Halo I get ridiculous lag? My notification stutters a great amount, and it seems as if the phone struggles to even change menus in the settings. I can't seem to find any resolution to this problem. I love the Galaxy Note a great amount, but this is making me want to switch to another phone. I've tried almost everything possible, even to the point where I wiped all of my precious data.

I've noticed lag when dealing with Halo, do not use it an only used it to test. Have used PIE before but no lag as you mentioning. If you are running both that could be the reason. Personally I do not use either so disable those and you should notice a difference. If not, re-wipe and re-flash and start over.

I have tried wiping, etc. I don't run both at the same time, no interest in Halo, Pie? yes. I'm just baffled as to why I can't solve this issue.

what ROM are you running is a good question. if you have a ripple effect on lockscreen, disabling that can help. if not as suggested disabling you Halo and even Pie is a possible start. I would then go to application manager and force stop if process is still running and then clear cache.
see how it runs then. if no lag, you can always restart Pie to try again. if lag comes back, there is your problem. if you have the Halo option, then I have a pretty good idea what kind of ROM you are running. I would think that it is a 4.2 ROM. if that is the case, you most likely have some Kernal options to try.
if it is one of JAIMED81's ROM's, he has a Q&A thread and you could get recommendations there as to which Kernal will work with which ROM.
good luck

I'm on Rootbox, but this problem is prevalent in all the ROM's I've used, I did what you suggested, no progress. I'll check out his Q&A thread, if not I guess I won't be using PIE. D:

that is one of JAIMED81's ROM's..........I figured.
his and others with CM based ROM's offer the Halo. still think there is some bugs to work out, but I think you ill get good advice there on alternate KERNAL that works well with that ROM

Try this set up and see if it works, it's what I am running right now and so far is flawless.
Download; Carbon Rom, they are nightlies so grab the most recent one
Download; Uber Kernel
Download: Trickster Mod
Flash the rom and kernel and the gapps. Once up and running
Download: Trickster mod and sslauncher or any other launcher that you like if you feel the need to do so.
Trickster settings and info as follows:
Scroll to specific and turn off MP Decision hit the check mark at the top right hand corner
Scroll to General: Setting I have are -

Be sure to hit the check mark after each change and hit the menu button when done with all and set on boot, click enable and notification, can also click delay if you would like a delay.
Should help speed you up some.

your right, my bad........this is a BRADL79 ROM
never the less, a cm based ROM ( I know, AOKP also), therefore going to suffer some of the same effects.
an alternate Kernal is still going to be the possible fix or alieviation to your side effects.

what I think I will do, is no longer quote what base a ROM is. maybe its just my terminology that is wrong. all the more reason right?
what I keep seeing in OP's is "all merges from CM10"(for example) now that I am paying a bit more attention, that is for kernel?
go easy on me, I am still trying to learn some of this stuff. I don't mean to give any offense in misquoting the base of a ROM. all respect to you and the others who sacrifice for us. I just try and help whenever I can so the big brains don't have to sweat the small stuff.
this may be the 2nd or maybe 3rd time you have caught me in my terminology blunder.
again, I will either double check or not quote.
sorry JAIMED81

[Q] is there a way to get Samsung multi window on AOSP Rom?

Title says it all, I'm currently running CM on my GS4 and the only thing I miss from the Touchwiz Roms is the multi window, so is there any way to get it on CM? Thanks
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
I briefly looked into it because I enjoy the multiwindow when it's themed black. I had no luck getting it to work. I still plan to work on it a bit though. Just don't have time right now.
Could settle for an AOSP Themed TW ROM / Google Edition.
Bump
Please allow me to bump this as I'd like the same.
This ROM ("OSE") claims to be AOSP based (CM11), but mentions it has multiwindow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2492235
My wish? Would be for multi-window to be flashable so I don't have to change from "standard CM". I just don't have time to research all the different ROMs with pros and cons...
Some copies of OmniROM quote having MultiWindow. If you want it badly enough, you can build it yourself into this ROM...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2556057
Here's a patch for OmniROM that isn't specific to any particular device that should add multiwindow. Some of the comments in the OP take away from my confidence in it for daily driving...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567667
Later in the thread it seems there may be some effort in getting this ported to CM but if anything, looks like they are waiting on Omni to finish it.
I guess for now I'll wait... probably switch between hyperdrive and "standard" CM until someone matures this and the community absorbs it...
Thanks to whoever may be working on this now...

Has anyone tried this rom out?

Heyyy,
I'm thinking about flashing this with safestrap on NC5 but I have never really heard much about it. May people running this rom on safestrap tell me if it is totally stable with safestrap? Because it seems like it was not built for safestrap.
Here is the download link http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358541454. I think it is different from this post because googlie may have altered this one

I'm running it and it is mostly stable. It has a few things that don't work
1) The signal bar doesn't display signal strength. The bars are shaded gray but you're getting reception when it says you're not. It does say 4G, 3G, 1X, etc.
2) Dialer crashes from the very beginning. It sometimes works, but most of the time, you'll get the "Unfortunately, dialer has stopped working," error message. I installed Swipedialer Pro to use as my primary dialer. It has an authentic AOSP feel and look.
3) Tethering isn't working for some reason.
4) When you first long-press the power button to bring up the power menu, you'll notice that the phone just reboots! To fix, go to the ROM Customizer app, then go to ROM Settings> System/ Kernel Mods> Powermenu Toggles and enable all the toggles. (GravityBox can also interfere with the power menu for some reason, so I disabled it just to avoid any issues).
5) The Gmail app that comes with the ROM FC's every time. You have to delete Gmail from the /system/app folder with something like Root Explorer, and reboot. Then install Gmail from the Playstore.
6) Sounds settings FC every time. However, you can still change ringtones through call settings. Not really a big issue for me.
I know that sounds like a lot, but other than this, it's actually one of the BEST Roms for the S4. It's actually my daily driver and it's the only rom I've used that is closest to the AOSP feel and look for our phone (I HATE Touchwiz!!!) Lol.

Yes, GDux 2.0 is what I'm running though there is a 2.1 now. I did the slim I believe. It's there highlighted in blue text. Kind of hidden within his words instead of by itself. I'm running it right now. If you want it themed a little differently I have a zip that has everything I like in it. Toggle icons, wifi, data, and various misc. ones. The 2.0 version has round lighted toggles and the icons I like fit right in the middle of those. Looks pretty neat and it enables all toggles as well. I think you need to add a browser and maybe email. I like to put them in the rom before installing because it makes life easier.

How is the battery life? I've been most disappointed in all the 4.4.2 KitKat Roms I've tried along with Surges Base rom with the Android System & Android OS taking away a day of battery and an hour of screen time as opposed to 4.3 & Roms.

I don't think any of them can equal or beat a 4.3 but GDux is worth trying and yes I've installed it as well but I just prefer 2.0. You should be able to get it from here. They all have little quirks.

[SHARE][SOURCE][APK][XPOSED][4.0.1 STOCK]statusbar brightness control

My favorite tweak from cyanogenmod was always the status bar brightness slide control.
I couldn't find any decent way to make that happen in ics stock evo-ware.
Want stereocam and 3d or I'd just run LS 4.4
I googled a bunch on xposed statusbar brightness and found a short reddit thread with the idea of using a bit of gravitybox to do it.
Their source excision was missing a few critical bits.
I got the original jb gravitybox modstatusbar.java, chopped it down, added different initialization process for standalone use.
Source, although very messy, is attached as a zip.
I'll share later when it's cleaned up, in the appropriate forum for xposed modules. This is my very first foray into the world of xposed module creation.
for now, evo users win first.
I had to use a gimmick from another xda thread to build working xposed modules with aide
since all development I've done this calendar year has been strictly on my evo.
At least partly because of that I wanted to toss the finished xposed module apk I built out there in the evo forum before posting anything in the xposed areas of xda.
Slide right/left across statusbar to change brightness or long press it.
temporarily overrides automatic brightness if on. Turn that off for full control.
Thanks to the gravitybox developers for sharing and their fine work!
and that reddit post for pointing me that way.
Reserved against the possibility of future development

The only device booting Oreo I've got to test it on is my evo 3d, and I'm not sure if that build will even run xposed for testing.
Not tons of time to play around, either.
Source code is posted though, if you know someone else who can mod it. Code's mostly from gravitybox with some patchwork to run standalone.

Dear LinhPhi9x94,
Thank you very much for BlurOS Release2!
Cool build !!!
Looks interesting. Is this ROM based on CM?
Can't log in to my Google account during setup, if I skip signing in it advances to the groovy blue/purple Blur logo on white background with the network speed and battery logo at top right corner but can't get past here... secret?
OK now, fourth time was the winner with a few manual reboots.
Very nice fresh look, unique.
I like it. Good job.
Does this ROM actually use 3.10 kernel?
Can we flash supersu 2.65 or above for this rom as superuser is a bit uncertain for some apps and is required to ask again and again after every reboot
Edit : supersu is working
Customization KILLS !!!
Just installed the rom via TWRP 3.0.2. The following are my comments:
♦ The customization is simply awesome *Almost every customization from every kind of rom out there is present inbuilt* Awesome work by the BlurOs team ! (P.S I love lockscreen blur, its present)
* The default wallpaper sucks though
* Camera : Snap Camera (better pictures than sultan's, my opinion)
* Root is inbuilt
* Performance is excellent. The off screen gestures are pretty snappy
* The gallery app is quicker than most
* Battery life will be updated in a day or two
* Addictive Rom ! Do try it people !
Awesome work !! Best rom I've flashed till date !! ♥in it !!
BUG :
# The system update says there is no internet connection, even when the phone has one !

If you're a fan of how IOS looks, then this is the perfect ROM for you.
This has the CMTE theme engine installed and has a 4 pre-installed themes you can pick from, one of them is a dark theme which I'm very happy about.
I'm going to keep this ROM on my phone for a few days to see how I like it. I never thought I'd stick with a ROM that replicates the look of iOS, but it's a very interesting idea and It's very refreshing compared to all the stock looking ROMs that are available.
Also, in additition to looking so different from all the other ROMS out there, it has a ton of settings and options that most major and minor roms have, anything you can imagine really.
Edit:
Only downside i've found so far is that there's no way to disable the Capacitive Button Lights.
Edit2:
Can't seem to delete Gapps from the ROM. Un-install them through Titanium backup, but they reinstall themselves after a reboot. Anyone have any ideas?

i installed opengapps as part of the blurOS install process - my regular filters (include/exclude) and things worked well
no major issues. privacy settings, themes work well. Minor issue - phone calls sometimes cannot be picked using the circular green/red buttons and i had to swipe down the notification area to accept calls. Also, the default theme background is white + foreground text also white. Changing to another theme fixed that issue
Hello, what kernel you can try with this rom?
hey guys im getting error executing binary, unable to mount.
im currently using multirom with cm13 on primary and cm12 on secondary.
any solution guys

The ROM comes with the gaps bre-baked, which is why it's so big. I was trying to delete them so I could use MicroG to immitate gapps, but not actually have any gapps on my phone. But the normal gapps kept getting reinstalled when I rebooted the phone.
I installed rom yesterday. I'm liking the customization provided. Also I feel audio output is far better than all other ROMs i tried. Thanks. I will post my battery review later
