[Q] Adding More Apps To Multi Windows Side Bar - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does any one know how to add more apps to the multi-windows sidebar?
I was able to add FB app only and don't know how I did it

The Multiwindows made it compatible with FB and Twitter. It's up the Sammy to decide which apps get to use their Multiwindows feature though.

Is there a way to get rid of this sidebar? I don't want it sitting on my screen. It just gets in the way. I tryed pulling all the apps out of it but that doesn't seem to work either..please help

Long press the back button to show/hide the options.
The apps that are allowed are defined in framework-res.apk in /res/values/arrays.xml so in theory it would be possible to add the name of as many apps as you want and it 'should' (not tested it out yet) allow for more apps to be used in this mode.

Give me instead...

Nice find. It should be possible to substitute that static array for a dinamic list.

AppWidgetPicker 1.2.3 (Confirmed) Works on ICS

I have confirmed that AppWidgetPicker work on ICS on Galaxy Nexus. If you are using a third party launcher. You should use AppWidgetPicker to better organize your widgets.
APK Link below.
That is all...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13331116
Push APK to your /System/App directory. Give all R/W permissions.
Someone should modify this for stock launcher. I can buy a coffee/beer for anybody who does

Will definitely donate if someone gets this working on the stock launcher
Android's permission system means that apps cannot normally bind widgets themselves. (This is part of the reason you sometimes see missing widgets when you restore a launcher or WidgetLocker from Titanium Backup or similar). Instead the method third-party-apps use is to call another app (AppWidgetPicker, or a replacement for it like this one) which DOES have the permission because it's a system app (hence the unusual install process for this replacement).
The stock launcher is also a system app, and does have the needed permission to bind widgets itself. It's built to ONLY bind itself, rather than use a third party app. This means that the AppWidgetPicker replacement cannot be modified to make it work, however the launcher itself could be.
Curious, what don't you guys like about the widgets-in-drawer? The grid view versus the list, the lack of grouping-by-app compared with boombuler's mod? Both?

Yeah the lack of grouping by app is the worst thing, because certain apps have dozens of widgets and it takes ages to find the one you want. The iPhone style page-by-page side scrolling doesn't help either. I actually like how we can see previews of the widgets but the navigation is a bit of a nightmare right now.

Oh dear, there's a long list of reasons:
1. I now have 5 pages of widgets!!
2. It's visually shocking because everything is a difference size
3. You don't consistently get a view of what widgets will look like
4. It takes longer to get to and then find a widget
Add and app with 20 widgets built in and you'll see. It sucks in my opinion. We need a list based picker for sure, ideally one with a preview mode.
Since you're here... any chance WL can have an option to hide the soft keys on the Nexus so it runs full screen? Also the 'recent apps' button isn't deactivated by WL so it still pops up...
Thanks, works great with the new Nova launcher

Hi,
if you post my apps, please take at least the latest version...
Original thread + new version is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780828
Widget picker works with Jelly Bean 4.1 too as I've just tried it on my GNEX. Same procedure as the first post mentions.

[MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! NOW MORE BUTTONS!!!

Hello, I created this 2 apps to add copy and paste buttons to the nabvar...
What this app does is to simulate a keypress from a service when button is pressed....
Concretely sends KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN for CTRL_LEFT(holds that key pressed), then injects C or V KeyCode event and finally it sends KeyEvent.ACTION_UP for CTRL key(releases that key).
However, not all apps are compatible with CTRL key, so this wont work properly with these apps
This app has been tried on Xylon ROM but also it SHOULD work on AOKP and derivates.
**THIS APP DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT**
Install like a normal APK
COPY: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kinq13mljdzl9ho/NavbarCopy_signed.apk
PASTE: https://www.dropbox.com/s/clxj83sqg76lkof/NavbarPaste_signed.apk
-----------------------------------------------------------
MORE FUNCTIONS ADDED!!!
To use this app you must sign with system signature, which can be find in its repositories
http://db.tt/KD07RwYy
Here is the source code!
http://db.tt/d10qEVO9
so will it work on non root stock rom?
Re: [MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! (Root & NON Root)
No, it doesn't work for non rooted. It installs and goes to widgets and put it on the screen and it says not installed when clicked. Plus, non rooted wouldn't be able to add those to the launcher. MAYBE 3rd party but I don't wanna do all that..

I guess that appears that errors because I dont created an acctivity that extend AppwlWidgetProvider

Hi.
Can you make similar buttons but with different functions?
I would like to hide navbar and use aokp pie instead but I need few buttons.
Menu
Back
Home
Recent apps
And if this is possible - forward buttons (for Internet browser)

Well its done... It can emulate back home menu search play/pause skip track power button and camera button
This is looking really cool. I love aokp nav bar mods and this seems quite similar.
Is there a function in there for "last app"? That's probably my favorite thing to have on the nav bar.

It said in op... You must sign apk with system signature and install as system app... There are some tutorials out there
Yep
My bad
Tried to find some info hot to sign this app as system app but can't find simple way.
What kind of files do you need to make this app working in AOKP by bigxie?

For example, for xylon rom you have to use these platform.pk8 and platform.x509.pk8... You get them here

To sign you can use a program called "apk signer" (i think)

Juja's Xposed mods for the HTC ONE

I will use this thread to upload Xposed mods for the HTC ONE.
1. RecentsKillAll (v1.1)
The default recents app in HTC ONE displays the nine most recent apps as cards which can be removed by swiping each one up. This mod adds a kill all button which will kill all apps on the recents screen in one shot.
Changelog
v1.1 : Increased close button size.
Added Google edition support and sense AOSP recents support.
2. HeadsetMod
Double pressing the button on the headset by default dials the most recent number in the call log. While this might be a nifty feature, it comes as an annoyance while listening to music. This mod removes that behavior while music is playing and allows the player to move on to the next track. Additionally triple pressing the headset button goes to the previous track (or to the start of current track depending on current play position). In short this mod brings in headset button functionality similar to that on iPhones (Volume buttons not supported).
Note: This mod works only for the default music player. Let me know if support is needed for any third party music player. I will try to add it in future versions.
3. EQS Pulldown
On AOSP, pulling down the status bar from left shows the default notification drawer and pulling down from right shows the EQS screen. This mod brings a similar feature to sense. Pulling down from the center of the status bar shows EQS drawer and pulling anywhere else shows the default notification drawer. A minor tweak but useful for people who are used to the default AOSP style.
4. Remove Contacts Dot Filter
This mod removes the HTC style dot filter applied to blurred images in dialer, contacts and phone screen.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Install instructions.
1. Install Xposed framework.
2. Install the apk.
3. Enable it in Xposed installer.
4. Reboot.
Note: These mods are only for the HTC ONE.
If it doesnt work on your HTC ONE please let me know. I ll look into it.
As always, take a backup before trying this out (shouldn't be necessary but just in case).

Just a thought here..... this thread will probably do better in the Themes and Apps section, it's more appropriate and will get more notice.
In this section it's more likely to slide down the list into obscurity due to the large volume of new threads opened here.

I don't have a google edition One to test it on. I am guessing it doesn't have the card style recents app. So it won't work. Let me see if I can add that in the next version.

I don't know about the GE editions but I can confirm that this works fine in ARHD 20.0 which is 4.3 based Sense.
Works great on ARHD 13.3, thanks.:good:
Working perfectly on InsertCoin. Thank you.
Boomed From My Boombastic !!! HTC ONE !!!
Thank you very much! Perfect mod, exactly what I have been looking for (you always wonder why something as simple & smart as this is not included in Sense right from the beginning). The only thing I am missing is the option to change the look/design of the small x-icon, as it seems somehow blurred ...
Anyone know if this works with Google Music? If not, is the dev able to make it work?
Thank you so much! I was looking for HeasetMod like this an age already. :victory:
HeadSetMod works great with Viper, thx!
Thanks for the kill all recent apps mod, I was looking for smth like this.

Tested on Google Music - the double click works fine, but the triple click only forwards+pauses playback (i.e. acts as a double + single click). Would be good if the dev could look into this. Thanks.

Request - All apps in Qslide

Can anyone make it possible for us to use every app in Qslide?
There's an app to add any app to dual window. Personally, I feel like dual window is more useful, but a little customization in QSlide would make it actually useful.

You don't need an app to add all apps to dual window. You just need to make one value change in build.prop.
Just edit 'persist.splitwindow.support_all=false' to 'persist.splitwindow.support_all=true'.

Are you aware of what QSlide actually is and how it works?
Its not like multi-window where it just restricts an app to a specific frame, these are floating apps that can be resized, moved and hidden - its not something that you can easily hack to make work for all apps.

Yes, I believe QSlide apps have to be coded with these features in. If an app doesn't implement the QSlide API, then it would be very difficult and probably buggy to externally add QSlide support for it.

Halo wasn't a floating apps thing, it was floating notifications this is completely different.
Basically they were presenting notifications in the same was as Facebook Messenger has its "chat head" feature.

You just described pen window, and this is exactly what you can do on the note line. There are a few bugs but it is still very handy.
Wonder if sony small apps can be easily ported across - heaps of great small apps available and they "appear" to work the same sort of way (both floating dialogue box like apps and both launched in similar way)..
I can help developers to add it to their own app.

The S5 Toolbox addon doesn't work properly. After you add more then 5 apps the toolbox only shows 5 and the top of another one but you are not able to scroll to access it or any of the other apps you've added so app is unusable.
Floating Toolbox Pro: Everything works except changing the Floating Toolbox icon color.
Tip: Swipe sideways for more options including the settings lol
all of the mentioned above are working, you have to scroll to last page inside of the app to go to settings page. Please quote me back so i can be able to comment back

Thanks for quick reply k0sh. Everything works on my Tab S 10.5 except for changing the Floating Toolbar icon color. No matter what color I set it to it never takes. Changing the background color works fine though.
I have a couple of requests if you decide to continue to refine the app:
-Allow user to set the Floating Toolbox icon even smaller then it is now. I have it all the way down and I still find it big on the tablet in comparison the the OEM Toolbox.
-Allow user to change icon transparency as I find it too bright
-Allow alternate icon or little round button like OEM.
The app is already a winner but those changes above would seal the deal for me.
Good job k0sh. (please remove my quotes from your post above since they don't apply -sorry)
**For anyone with a Tab S looking to increase the app limit; Floating Toolbar WORKS.
