Xposed module: App Settings v1.10
What it is
This is an Xposed module that allows changing generic settings on a per-app basis.
"Generic settings" means settings that are global to all applications, such as: perceived DPI, rotation behavior, fullscreen, etc.; full list is below.
These are settings that can in principle be applied to all packages, even if for some it might not produce any effects.
Not to be confused with app-specific settings. If it's something that only app Y or Z needs changing, chances are it won't belong in this module.
What the mod CAN do
Here's the list of settings that can be defined for each target package:
- DPI: Changes the DPI used by this app both when loading resources (some might be DPI-specific) and also when rendering them.
- Font Scale: Scales the font up or down, similarly to the system-wide "Font Size" setting.
- Screen dimensions: Affects the resources loaded by the app in case it bundles different ones for different screen sizes; use the "List Res." button to get some hints on the kind of alternatives the app might have for different resolutions.
- xlarge qualifier for resources: also affects alternate resources used by the apps (tipically for tablets / devices with big screens); see previous item.
-Apply res to widgets: normally, resources are only manipulated when being loaded by the application itself. If this is activated, they will also be manipulated when loaded by other apps, which is the typical situation when a Launcher presents widgets from other apps.
- Locale: the language used by the app for loading resources, formatting numbers and dates, etc.; you can use this for apps that do include translations but don't give you an option of using a different language than your global one.
- Fullscreen: you can force an app to always use fullscreen (hiding the statusbar only, not the navigation bar for devices that have it) or never use it; on KitKat Immersive mode can also be activated.
- No title: hides the title bar, gaining more space for the actual contents. Note that many apps might crash if they're relying on some elements of the titlebar to be there.
- Keep screen on: If set, the screen won't dim or turn off after the inactivity period whenever this app is on the foreground. Remember not to put the device on your pocket with the app active.
- Show when locked: Display this app's screen on top of the lockscreen, without requiring e.g. the PIN to be entered (dangerous). Note that you'll have to find a way (somewhere else) to open the app from the lockscreen, depending on the kind of app.
- Resident in memory: If set, the system will try much harder to keep the app in memory even when you leave it. It might make the app more responsive when reopening but will also consume more RAM, possibly slowing down the overall system.
- No fullscreen IME: prevents the keyboard from taking up the entire fullscreen when in landscape mode.
- Orientation: Override the orientation settings build into the app. You can force "normal behavior" (rotate according to the device settings, even if the developer hardcoded a specific orientation), "always portrait", "always landscape" or "force auto" (use the sensors even if the auto-rotate system setting is off). Additional options exist for forced reversing the portrait or landscape orientations, use the sensor so they can be inverted by tilting the device, 4-way rotation, and forced rotation but respecting the user setting (locked / auto-rotate).
- Insistent notifications: If active, the sounds used by any of the app's raised notifications will loop endlessly. Danger of depleting the battery (and annoying crowds) if you're not around when it starts playing the sound.
- No big notifications: Prevent notifications to have an alternate layout for the "expanded" mode; it will always be collapsed and can't even be expanded manually
- Ongoing notifications: Force or prevent notifications from the app to be marked as Ongoing (non dismissable)
- Notifications priority: This is the relative importance of the notifications and, depending on the ROM, influence the visibility of their icons on the statusbar, their order on the list, etc.
- Show in recents: You can prevent the app from showing on the Recents list, or force it to appear.
- Mute audio: Prevents all sound from being played from the app. If videos are played, they will be muted. (this doesn't work for all apps, due to technical limitations on the system)
- Force legacy menu button: For devices that don't have a physical menu button, menu entries will usually appear on the far right of the Action Bar. With this option, the 3-dot button will be displayed on the navbar and the menu options will appear there.
- Revoke permissions: selectively block permissions requested by the app. Needless to say, depending on the permission and the app, it's very likely that it will start failing; don't expect revoking INTERNET or READ_CONTACTS and having the apps continuing to work every time - most of them will fail unless the developer anticipated this kind of permission denials
Some of the features that help you manage the settings for each app:
Search / filter apps
- by name or package
- by type (user/system)
- by state (enabled/disabled)
- by applied settings: global state, overridden or unchanged state for each setting
Shortcuts for app actions on the main list or on the individual settings screen
- launch app (main launcher activity)
- go to system settings screen (uninstall, clear data, ...)
- Play Store link (if applicable)
Display list of recent apps and jump directly to their configuration
The app can be killed when saving settings, so they can take effect immediately after relaunch instead of requiring a reboot.
What the mod CAN'T / WON'T do
The settings you can define for each app won't add functionality that simply isn't there, such as:
- adding tablet / large screen layouts
- using languages for which no resources are included in the app
- display "properly" in portrait or landscape mode
- operate flawlessly on top of the lockscreen
- keep working as expected (whatever that means to you) even after you revoke permissions
Not only these would be not possible to implement in an app-independent way, it's also beyond the scope of this particular module.
If you're familiar with the Xposed Framework, you're probably aware that lots of things can be tweaked or added to specific apps.
However, unless it's:
- generic behavior that can be applied to most apps
- relatively easy to implement
then don't bother requesting App Settings to provide it.
If it does obey these 2 conditions, then by all means suggest it (preferably with code contributions / pull requests).
Installation
Requirements:
- Xposed Framework 2.2 or newer; 2.6 or newer starting with AppSettings 1.9
- ICS (4.0.3) or newer (up to 4.4); this is not only a requirement for the framework, but also for this module due to the hooked APIs
Download:
The installation can be performed from within Xposed Framework by browsing the repository and finding the "App Settings" entry. Any updates will also appear there.
Alternatively, the repository entry can be browsed directly at http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.mods.appsettings
Usage of this thread
This thread serves primarily to publish updates to the module, report bugs and suggest or discuss new features (user or developer-wise).
You can also use it to share and discuss your experiences with tweaking specific apps (e.g. resources settings, revoked permissions, etc.) - but I must warn that you should not expect feedback from me on that matter.
Quite frankly, I'm not that much of a smartphone heavy user, and I'm not willing to install loads of apps on my device in order to experiment and achieve ideal configurations for *you* to use. That's what the community is here for, though so feel free to discuss this on the thread.

Development
Authors: @rovo89 and @Tungstwenty
Sources: https://github.com/rovo89/XposedAppSettings
History: The foundations of this module were created by @rovo89 as a hidden feature within his Tweakbox module, which was the first daily-use mod taking advantage of the (then new) Xposed framework and somewhat of a showcase for it. By directly editing the xml settings file, it was possible to change the dpi, screen dimensions and language for an app's loaded resources.
Eventually it got promoted to its own standalone mod once a minimal UI was built to edit the configuration and more and more settings were added. It was promoted and discussed on @pulser_g2's Making Stock Custom ROMs Defunct thread and the repository he was kind enough to setup and administer some time ago.
Since it's been pretty stable for a while - both in robustness and in expected update frequency - and Xposed Framework now has repository functionality, it has come the time to create a dedicated thread for this and also bump the version to 1.x with the latest added features.

Ooo... Prevent full screen. :good:
I also noticed a significant improvement in load time as it's not scanning the entire list of apps every time. Also :good:
Edit: And my smaller screen size apps (Screen (dp)) don't look funny anymore. :good:
Edit: Also I thought this already had its own thread.
Individual brightness
Thanks for this fantastic module!
This Must Have and great module has now finally its own thread, it's perfect! :good:
Not much to say ... Smart, easy, effective, nice update ...
I have only one wish:
Is it possible to add individual brightness?
3 choices:
- System default setting (checked by default)
- Auto brightness
- Individual level
I think that would be great!!!

Good Module and yes nice update.
Keep work alive.
sent from my GT-N7100. Press thanks if I helped..
Im on a 4.3 rom if that has anything to do with it, but the setting dot take effect at all ?
It requires restart application to take effect. Close application from task manager and restart again.

Check the "About" panel. Do you see red text with "Note: ..."? If yes, then the module isn't running; activate it on XposedInstaller and reboot.
Otherwise, when saving the settings for an app (you're pressing the save button, right?) answer YES to the prompt on whether to kill the app or not, so that the settings take effect the next time it's started.
There's only a couple of exceptions for special packages which do require a reboot, such as "android" (obviously) and perhaps SystemUI (which might cause system hangs or not close at all)

Yeah I'm doing everything right I've used this many a time before and had this issue with older versions. I know there was something I had to do with permissions which solved problem but I forgot.

Great Module.
I use it to change the locale of google now to my native language without having to change the system language too. Without this app google now would never talk with me in my native language.
A feature request:
Some apps (at least "Unicon" or "Lux") have the ability to show Notifications without showing a icon in the statusbar. Would it be possible to force this for other apps too with app settings? The notification should be in the list but without a icon in the statusbar.

Same here
I like all my systems (PC, phone, etc.) in English language, but there are some apps like Maps or Local News that need to be changed in order to provide local contents or audio

Apparently this seems to be possible on JB 4.1 and above: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2855110/android-no-icon-for-notification
I'll add this to the wishlist.

What's Working:
EVERYTHING
Variant Editions
ADRENALINE NEO (Variant of the Official Release)
This is the rom further de-bloated to my personal liking and is created specifically for me. I'm really a sort of no-frills kinda guy yet I still appreciate some theme action and abilities. However, I have chosen to share this with everyone. I will not address complaints or issues resulting the use of this version as to what's missing or what you'd like to add back however I don't mind helping with the usual crash or system related issues should any ever arise.
The following separates it from the standard release:
APPS REMOVED
*Bluetooth unlock module
*All Apps Mirror Enabler
*Double Tap Status Bare to sleep module
*Google Navigation Arrow
*Play Store Fixes module
*ALL WIDGETS EXCEPT FOR WEATHER CLOCK
*ALL HTC BACKUP, VZW BACKUP, ETC BACKUP Utilities except Google Backups
*ALL live wallpapers and live wallpaper functionality
*Music Channel Disabled and removed (I've noticed a major decrease in audio *quality once switching over to the animations until a full reboot takes place and you stay away from it)
*Verizon Visual Voicemail
*The extra added ringtones and the Earthquake alert removed (no earthquakes where I live)
*All Mirror Casting services
*NFC and TAG abilities
*VZW Cloud Service
*Media output like HDMI output, etc.
*Boot-up and Boot-down custom animations
ADRENALINE DEVELOPER (Variant of the Official Release)
I created the Developer Edition for you guys who like to take a reasonably debloated base without Neo's adding like and dislikes and drag and drop apk files whether from the computer into the rom zip or from in your phone using a root explorer app to add back in apps you want. The Developer Edition is debloated even further than my Neo Edition as I've removed those apps which catered to me and only contains your most basic features: Calculator, Camera, Clock, Contacts, Data, Flashlight, Gallery, Mail, Playstore, Talk, and Text. For those who like to build up their own DD, this can be used as a starting point for dragging and dropping back into the rom things you need.
Aside from what is already removed in the Developer's Edition, the following has also been removed (but can be added back in at your discretion/ability):
APPS REMOVED
*Google Maps
*Youtube AdAway module
*Screenshot Delay Remover module
*The XPosed Installer
*Flashlight
*GoogleTTS (Google Text To Speech Engine)
Installation InstructionsI recommend users of this rom to be on the latest firmware and Hboot with an s-off device.
NOTE: You need to be on at least TWRP 2.7.1.1 or above if you intend to flash this rom.
If you are NOT on this recovery and have a rom complaint, I will not address it.
DO NOT WIPE SYSTEM WHILE IN RECOVERY UNLESS YOU WANT PROBLEMS.
The installer script does it for you already. Simply do a factory reset "Swipe Wipe" and you're good to go.
Flashing Procedures are as follows:
1. Put the Rom on the root of your internal memory
2. Compare MD5 Sum
-Windows: MD5 Calculator
-LINUX: Open Terminal and type: md5sum [path to the rom on your sd card]
-Mac: Open a terminal and type: md5 [path to the rom on your sd card]
3. Reboot to Recovery
4. Scroll down and select "Wipe"
5. Do a "Swipe Wipe"
7. Install Rom from SD Card
8. Reboot and enjoy!
For Best results, reboot the rom once after it has settled after all your syncing and such. You will need to reboot anyway in order to active the xposed framework.
Further questions about the ROM
Please check the FAQ in the second post. (Coming Soon)
Note: DO NOT Mirror this Rom, Quote this entire OP, or Use this as a base for your Rom. Thanks.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
[Q]: What is the difference between Textra and Google Messenger?
[A]: A Comprehensive and Thorough User Level Comparison Review of Google's "Messenger" VS Delicious Inc.'s "Textra SMS"
So in an effort to prepare all of you for lollipop in an "ease into it" kind of fashion, I've come to find that many are either hesitant over the newly included messaging app, or would rather prefer Google's Messenger app over Textra. It has also occurred to me that many users don't actually know the difference between the two (other than the fact that Textra comes with a dark skin default which is changeable). So I have taken the time to compare the many different abilities and functions that each app provides in comparison to each other (at user level).
I hope that you find this informative enough to make a decision in the future as to which you would prefer. So without further delay, I present to you my review.
Now many of you may not care about the messaging app as you've selected Hangouts to be your default SMS receiver. For those of you like myself however that prefer SMS messages to be kept separate from hangouts, this may be of good use to you.
So to the Left we have Messenger and to the Right we have Textra.
Right off the bat you will notice that Textra does a full system theme where your status bar coloring is altered to reflect the theme (as with most of our apps including our Kit Kat stock Message) where as in Messenger it remains untouched.
You will also notice that the contact icons in Messenger are slightly larger than those appearing in Textra which I personally feel would limit the amount of text being displayed due to the "create a new message" button covering the last recent message. Yet the font is slightly larger in that of the Textra app making it easier to read which is what we care about most in a messaging app.
Both layouts appear to be nearly identical with exception to color.
Here we have an example where a single message has been long pressed.
In Messenger, the message selected is indicated by a slight discoloration of the field in which the text inhabits along with changing the contact icon to a Blue Checkmark (which only deselects the message if pressed). Notice also the create a new message icon disappears (as it is not needed for this current function).
In Textra, the message selected is indicated by a highlighted check mark that shuffles in from the left of the message (shuffling the message dates to the right off screen). Additionally, the create a new message button in the bottom right corner becomes a grayed out Checkmark which when pressed, changes color and selects every message currently in the chat summary. However, there is no Archive function built into Textra as there is in Messenger which for some of you, very well may be a deal breaker as you may actually use that function (I don't).
The options that appear above in Messenger are that of cancel (go back), Archive, Delete, and options.
The options that appear above in Textra are that of cancel (go back) Silence notifications, delete, and options.
In the following two images, we see what a multi message selections looks like in both Messenger on the left, and Textra on the right.
Immediately in Messenger, the options button vanishes and converts into simply silence notifications (as that is apparently the only multi message function it can perform).
However in Textra, the options to silence, delete, and "options" remain.
I have gone and deselected one of the messages in both Messenger and Textra so that we can compare and explore the options that are presented for a selected message (since it disappears in Messenger if multiple messages are selected). However, I have included the multi selected messages in Textra also so that you can see the options remain unchanged.
To the left, Messenger displays the only options to be Silencing notifications (which for some reason was not available until multi messages were selected) Add contact which adds the person to your contacts if not already, and block or “blacklisting” (which prevents you from receiving their messages).
To the Right, Textra displays Notifications Settings, Bubble Color settings, Delivery Report settings, Signatures, and black listing. Keep in mind also that silencing notifications is already present in the main window as well.
Since we pretty much already know what Notifications off, add contact, and block do, we will go over them through Textra while we explore the additional options it has to offer in the next images to follow.
We now are looking at the notifications settings specifically for the selected messages. What you will notice, is that in Textra you can define message/people specific themes, options, and settings.
In here you can enable or disable notifications on the main page.
Tap Notifications allow you to select the action to be taken when you tap a message notification from that specific message/person. You can choose to open a floating quick reply window that will disappear after you send a message and resume whatever activity you were currently doing, or you can have it open textra like most stock messaging apps will do.
Floating notifications settings will allow you to decide the duration of the pop up notification for that specific contact (should you decide to have pop up notifications in the previous setting)
Notification Icon Settings allows you to decide what color that selected contact/message should appear in. As you can see, there are 44 different color options to choose from (wow!)
LED Blink Color is an awesome option for phones that support it. You have the ability to specify what color your selected message/contact should appear in when you have received a message from them. While our device doesn't support every color listed, I have taken the liberty of providing you with the huge variety of LED colors that actually do work for our device: Green & Red.
Default Notification sound although "says" Ringtone, actually pulls from your notifications folder (like it's supposed to).
Vibrate Settings allow you to set specific vibration instructions for that particular selected contact/message.
Now, if you've elected to allow vibrations, you can go so far as to even select contact/message specific vibrate patterns!
Wake Up Screen options allow you to decide whether or not a message from that particularly selected individual should wake your phone and turn screen on or not.
Repeat notifications let's you decide how often your phone should harass you for not checking or acknowledging the newly received message per contact/person. Hey if it's mom you may actually want it to keep telling you her message is waiting to be seen
This ends all the options available for Notifications.
Backing out now we select the option to go into Bubble Colors for the specific contact/message. You can decide what color your text bubbles should be in, and what color their text bubbles should be in. Check it out, you have 42 color options
This ends the options available for Bubbles.
Backing out now we select the option for Delivery Reports
Here you can decide if you want to receive a report for a MMS or SMS message successfully received by the end user's device to which you sent a message to. Very handy for those who claim they never got your message or simply informative to you for those who honestly didn't receive it and perhaps should be called.
This ends the options available for Delivery Reports.
Backing out now we select the option for Signatures to be displayed in your messages to these specifically selected individuals. After having opted to include a message, you can edit and create your own. Note that after confirming your new signature, the signature displayed looks overwritten but a quick back out and back in to the Settings will provide you with visual proof of the correct change. (This is likely a glitch they are probably working out).
This ends the options available for Signatures.
Backing out and selecting the Blacklist option will immediately BlackList (block) those messages selected from ever being received to your device again. Don't worry however, as this can be undone by going to the main settings for the app outside of these message specific options we've explored through this review. Pay no mind to the fact that I just blacklisted my mother-in-law by "accident"
Deselecting all the contacts in both Messenger (Hey what was this app for again?) and Textra, we are now able to enter their Primary App Options via the same options button to the top right of both apps.
Notice that since Messenger has Archive functions, you are able to go into your Archived Messages as seen in the image above. Since I don't have any messages archived, none will appear but if you had used it to Archive them, that is where you would find them. This is the same feature that is present in Google Hangouts where you can archive a conversation for later viewing (and to keep it out of your primary chat summary).
On the main page you will see a search button (magnifying glass). Perhaps you had a conversation with someone a long time ago in your messages about a certain topic but can't remember who it was or when it took place. To easily recall that conversation, you can type in a word or phrase used in the message as indicated in these examples.
A very crucial thing here to note, is that Messenger will only highlight and provide you with the very last time the subject was ever discussed and take you back to that moment in time via clicking on it.
Textra however, will display a brief message from each and every time that particular subject was discussed and take you to that exact moment in time you were looking for by clicking on the specific search result.
Since it will be extremely brief, due to the minimal activity taking place in this app, we will go ahead and explore the main options taking place in Google's Messenger App first.
As you can see, aside from having 0 message specific settings, only very little remains for any of the global settings. Whether or not you want notifications for all incoming messages, one specific sound for all, whether or not all vibrate or don't, and your typical MMS settings which appear in every MMS app.
Now in Textra's Main Global Options/Settings, we see all the following choices.
Many of these you recognize from the per message/contact options/settings we covered earlier. These will be the primary settings to take place globally in no settings are specified per contact/message.
We will only cover those that were not covered in the individual settings.
Under the "About" option, selecting "What's New?" will give us a detailed change log for all the advancements Textra has made per release.
Enable Debugging is set for times when Textra provides support to you for an issue related to their app (wow)
Tell your friends allows you to share the playstore link for this app via a variety of different sharing options.
Resync Textra does what it says: Basically re-syncs all your messages should you have strayed away experimenting with other apps that intercept messages and wish to return to stability It will re-sync everything for you without changing any of your settings.
This ends the About Options.
Backing back out into Settings you'll notice a support button. Click this and you will have the option to contact the developers directly with any issues you may have that aren't listed in their provided Q&A/FAQ listed below. They also provide a button to tap to link directly to their Feedback Forum (yeah, they have one).
This ends the Support Options.
Backing back out into the main Settings, there is a Customize Look menu. Here you can change the text size of the fonts being viewed as presented in the image above.
You can also change the Dark Mode Settings to "Off", Dark (default) and Black.
In Theme color, you can change the overal theme color of the entire app! You have 40 selectable themes to choose form. Take notice of the checkmark and circle color of each theme you select. It is the color of your secondary colors like menu option font color, check boxes, etc.
Under the Default Notifications Settings, the only difference you'll see that wasn't discussed before is whether or not floating notifications will appear while the phone is both locked and unlocked (or duration of the notifications).
All the other settings are global and as mentioned before, work for all those who don't have individually set settings.
This ends our exploration of the Settings options.
Now, we go into a message as it appears in Messenger.
Uh oh, my chat window with my buddy Justin is in Pink and White?? Gee thanks Google.. Apparently, Google thought it would be cute to pre-select random theme colors per conversation in your messages. There is no way to change the color options as they appear in this conversation nor can you change any of your chat bubble colors or font sizes.
Long pressing a message as indicated in the second picture above yields a couple options. Delete that single post, return to the chat, Forward that post to another contact, or information regarding that post (type, from, to, sent, received).
There is no multi selection option, there is no swiping side to side for additional options or navigations. However options for the entire message is present without post selection.
Now in Textra, I'm happy to say that I have assigned this theme to the chat with my buddy and I.
Pressing on his image pulls up his personal info and gives me the option to call.
Swiping from left to right in the chat window sends me right back into my main chat summary.
Swiping from right to left however, will display the exact time and date of every sent and received message regardless of the time interval between as indicated in the 3rd image.
Long pressing a message gives me the option to multi-select individual posts where I can either trash them, send them all as a new message to someone in my contacts, forward the messages to another contact, copy the text, lock the individual posts, or share in an email Man I love options!
This concludes my review of both Textra VS Messenger.
I hope you have found it enlightening and will have taught you how to operate either app like a pro by the time Lollipop roms surface.
Guess now I should go and un-blackllist my Mother-In-Law
Mine for Skittles

Baffling man.. Are you flashing gapps or something? Should just be wipe, flash, boot. Make sure you're flashing the standard rom and not dev edition. Only thing I can think of is perhaps your phone doesn't like the high kernel frequency.. As soon as it boots, try going into trickster and drop the max frequency down a few notches.

Clean flashed again. Got into Trickster and dropped it down to 156600 and dropped read ahead to 2048. Also dropped GPU to 400. Set all to apply on boot. Didn't even sign into Google this time. Kinda just skipped through the setup process. Still rebooting. I haven't been able to flash any custom kernels on my One Max. Fly and Lunar both cause the same thing.

Thanks a lot! I was really hoping to finally be able to try FlyKernel. Do you think I would be able to just flash Flyhalfs stock insecure on your rom? Plus any idea why your rom won't play nice with my phone? Either way..... Great to have you back making HTC phones awesome!

This has Fly's 2.4 kernel baked in so if you've had issues flashing his or any other custom kernels, then you're bound to continue having them if they are baked in.
There are a handful of things that would need to change in order for you to run this rom on a stock sense 6 kernel and I will have a flashable for you on Monday.
As for why you have issues flashing their kernels, you may wanna get with them to figure out what's up.

[MOD][XPOSED] XHFW3 - floating windows - ver. 3.19 beta
What's this all about
There was a well known xposed module XHaloFloatingWindow by @zst123 (here) which brought multiwindow functionality to android devices with Xposed. Sadly the development stopped and the project was dropped. @zst123 allowed to use his code to continue and remake the project under the new name - so that we could distinguish between the classical XHaloFloatingWindow and the new XHFW3. Anyway I have different sign keys so using the new id's is a must in this case.
Remember that much of the credits go to @zst123. I just rewrote, optimized, fixed the code for the new Android versions and added some features.
Important
Different package names would allow you to keep both version installed, but be sure to keep only one floating window module active.
Bootloops were a very frequent issue earlier. Although a lot of things got fixed you might be stuck on logo screen after reboot. In this case you might try to:
Reboot again;
Wipe cache via recovery and reboot;
Wipe dalvik cache and reboot;
Remove via adb or recovery file manager /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/modules.list and reboot;
Uninstall xposed with official uninstaller script and reboot;
Known bugs:
BOOTLOOPS might be expected.
Android Recent's panel doesn't close when movable window is restored - overlaps other apps.
Evernote layout resets when screen unlocks if the app isn't focused. Everything is back when it's focused again.
Incomplete support for Android < 5.0
You tell me!
What's new

You tell me!
MultiWindowSidebar
@zst123 made another great app to launch apps as multiwindow, ie the MultiWindowSidebar (here). I had to modify it a bit as well to have new floating flags and 4way snaps. See apks attached. It uses the same package name as the original app with different sign keys so you'll have to uninstall the old version you install this one.
Finally
There're 2 types of package available. The one with "debug" postfix will fill your logs with messages. Please, use it to get logs for bug reports. For normal use there's a normal version.

Xposed Package Name: com.zst.xposed.halo.floatingwindow3
Version Information
Status: Beta
Created 2016-05-02
Last Updated 2016-06-11
How to and why:
Start an app in floating/movable window mode
Be sure the app wasn't started before as non-movable or swipe it away from android recents (so the system starts it again and doesn't load it from background).
Use third-party launchers (e.g. MultiWindowSidebar) to start an app as halo / floating / movable. Be sure to have the launcher and the mode use the same FLOATING_FLAG (check up second q/a).
Enjoy!
Set proper FLOATING_FLAG to have windows movable:
At the beginning the XHaloFloatingWindow module and Paranoid Android Halo feature used a different flag to mark apps as floating. Later Android took the same flag for its needs to mark apps that have several open document. So using the old flag for floating windows caused bugs and we had to change it (from 0x2000 to 0x2001).
The issue was not resolved for a long time, xhfw project died and many (most) launchers didn't update the flag. If your launcher still uses legacy FLOATING_FLAG, go to XHFW3 settings and choose a proper option for "Floating flag system id" (legacy for most use cases).
If you change the flag to legacy and report bugs, please, mention your FLOATING_FLAG choice.
Start a movable app as non-movable:
To keep things consistent the module has to respect the android activity history. That's the feature that keeps unactive apps "saved" in the background so they can resume from their last state.
If the app was started as movable - the system would remember that until you tell Android to release the app from memory.
So to be able to launch the same app again as non-movable you need to remove it from Android recents (swipe it away).
If an app is added in Maximized list, is it automatically being treated as Whitelisted?
If you add an app to maximized list it means that it will be started maximized whenever you launch it as floating. So you can whitelist to have it always resizable or you can be happy to have maximized resizable window only when you need it.

Is there support for the lg g stylo by chance?
I installed the previous beta version awhile ago but generally my phone would either bootup once or twice or occasionally bootloop but pulling the battery and trying again would work usually.
I use to love this on kk back in the day
Is there good support for something like a nexus device? I have some of those as well
Noob question here. How exactly would I start an app in floating window mode?
Like the update so far. A few preference bugs but the floating windows are smooooooth! Nice.
Some preference setting are not sticking. Going to try a cache clear. Already tried a data clear.
Keep up the good work!

@a_sh_ The keyboard mode setting doesn't react to clicks. I mean nothing happens (no options open) when I click it. Everything else works perfectly.

Recently task interface can open the window of the app, but you can not exit the windowing, kill the process are not used, only a soft reboot
Glad to see a new thread for this great module. Could you please add ability to launch apps maximized by default and return testing screen?

I'd like to know too! There is a option to always start whitelisted apps in window mode, but I wonder if there is a way to put an app into window mode after opening it in normal mode
All is brilliant, except size of triangle. It can't be changed!

Hi! If you launched the app in normal mode - you should close it (swipe away) via andoid recents, so it's not kept cached as background activity. It can be started as movable window afterwards via movable window sidebar or other apps. Later I'll post an update with bug fixes mentioned here. Cheers!
O! And change pointer please, it's awful grey round with red dot!
And please add feature to start app maximised

@a_sh_ I've a few requests for enhance MultiWindowSidebar app, could you please:
add automatically an app downloaded in the sidebard (for avoid adding it manually at each time),
remove automatically an app deleted from the sidebard (for avoid the oddly "unknown app" behavior, see screenshot below),
remove settings related to the Halo mode like you have done for XHFW with this update (v3.10)?
Thanks!
Could you make 'floating app by shortcut' function? This app is so good but some tricky to use...
I can confirm this: Bubble Launcher - WORKS - V. buggy but got it to work a few times. Is a P.A.-halo-like app-launcher replacement what you had in mind? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334221
UPDATE: Make sure you follow directions of the app. Its not very user friendly. Worked like a charm with XHFW3 with the 'legacy flag setting'.
UPDATE AGAIN: Bubble launcher has an additional NOTIFICATION FUNCTION. download the NHLShelper apk on the link above with the main app. Permit it access in settings and it will float your notifications too.
OMG IT's SO GREAT WITH PIE NAVIGATION - JUS' LIKE PARANOID ANDROID DAYS!!
I installed, xhfw3 beta, bubble launcher and nhls helper. But i can't open app in floating window. What should I do? What do you mean for legacy flag setting? Android 6.0.1 stock xposed nexus 5
Privacy is a major concern in today’s web industry. All Major Tech industries and web portals are serious about privacy. Individually, we all take privacy very seriously. Therefore, developers are trying to bring us apps that make sure our files remain private and safe from prying eyes of strangers.
# What can PrivateMe hide?
PrivateMe comes with tons of customization for the hiding features. Firstly PrivateMe can hide apps of almost all 3rd party. While hidden in PrivateMe, the data generated by these hidden apps will not be reached by other apps. At the same time, PrivateMe also can hide apps from your launcher, recent Apps list, App management in system settings and any other app trace on your phone system. Moreover, you can manage the notification of hidden apps. Secondly PrivateMe also can hide pictures, screenshot and other media files on the phone.

You can hide apps with a Launcher. I use nova launcher which has this feature.
On the v2.0 we combined Hide and Clone to the feature of Create Apps in PrivateMe, here is the steps for hiding apps:
First of all go to PrivateMe Apps Setting
Tap the + on the right top on home screen to enter App Creating list, you can choose to create local apps into PrivateMe or create new apps in PrivateMe through App market.
Hide new apps: type into search bar to find apps from App market and then install without records. Then you can access to this app through PrivateMe.
Clone apps: select from App Creating list to create apps you’ve installed, tap the app icon then will automatically prompt to create the app – detect app security – created successfully. When creating completed, the app can be used in PrivateMe normally. Now you can run multi accounts at the same time on one phone with the cloned app.
Hide local apps: after the app is created in PrivateMe, you need to uninstall it on your phone system, or later opening this app in PrivateMe to choose to uninstall from system, to completely hide this app, then you just access it from PrivateMe.
Mock Notifications: If you want to manage the notification of hidden and cloned apps, then go to PrivateMe >Home > Notifications > select block/allow/mock. And you can go to the Mock Notification Setting to customize your mock content.
Protect PrivateMe: go to the App Setting list of PrivateMe, here two protection solutions are available: Cover PrivateMe - cover PrivateMe as calculator and this calculator requires password followed by "=" to open PrivateMe; Lock PrivateMe - set the password to access PrivateMe.
Follow same method to enable the app. Just Simple like that!
Paid apps?
I tried to hide a purchased app, but the app can't "see" that I bought it so it won't run. What must I do to ensure the purchased hidden or cloned apps can run?
