Hi, I was wondering if anyone has looked into a Multi-Window feature for the nexus 4?
That would be cool...
it would really be great on nexus 4 I have s3 as well and multi view is brilliant and handy as well I hope someone will look for into this

+1 for Multi Window! had that feature on my old s2 and it was great. But greater were it on the nexus because of the larger screen! Hopefully that comes here to us
I hope to...
It may be hard to do
AW: Multi-Window Support?
yes it would be nice but because its a touchwiz feature we would need a port of touchwiz. And who wants touchwiz? of course I would flash it and play around with it but as a daily driver?

It would need to be written up from scratch, so don't hold your breath
At least a popup play like Optimus G
Cornerstone? It's open source but I think Google banned it or something :/

Its because u didn't use whatsapp, facebook chat, and browsing at once.
It will be gorgeous if we can make half screen to reply whatsapp and halfscreen for chatting in facebok.

There's already plenty of options for Pop-up play like the one on Galaxy devices. I've tried most of them and Dice player is my favorite It has a simple minimalistic UI and supports most videos.. Someone has also port Sony's Small Apps into our devices. You just have to flash the correct zip mod according to your rom and you're done. About Multi-windows, I'd really like to see someone port them to our devices.. Someone can at least create a rom with cornerstones that have conditions to prevent end consumers(not us modders) from using it as the implementation could ruin the app's size or sort.. I don't know much about the techie stuff but Google banned 'cornerstone' due to the fear that many people might complain about apps not working and being glitchy..

Try GMD gesture control, had feature support for alt+tab and numerous other app switching features and other gestures.
+1 it'll be great
Multi-Window is going to be an extreme challenge. It's like HTC Sense, too manufacturer specific. It took months just to port a ROM to the T999 with multi-window. I don't see it happening. The Optimus G's "multi-window" however, is definitely a possibility.
Personally, i don't feel like you need "multi windows" on phones, maybe phablets bridge that gap.
Multi tasking though for sure, check out apps like, glove box, pop corn player, Super floating video player, and sidebar over on the play store

Or will they still work in nova launcher? (obviously still on a Sammy rom, not aosp)
Thanks
You obviously still can use all the features with another launcher, you just have to use stock apps (video player, email, gallery, dialer ... etc)
To make use of spen features,you only need those tw frameworks.You may use spen features on any launcher provided you have those frameworks.
And as you said,it will work on Sammy based roms only.It won't work on AOSP,AOKP roms as they lack tw frameworks.....

As others have mentioned before, you can use any launcher.
But for the S-Pen functionality, you need to use the stock apps provided by Samsung.
You "might" lose out on some of the functionality, if you change the launcher. This is just my guess.

I just thought of quick command, I think it only works on TW's home screens and app drawer.
Thanks, to be honest I doubt I'll use the s pen too much anyway, just want the big screen - I find my s3 too small!
So it means no SPen apps on custom roms??? I love changing my roms. Its kind of a deal breaker for me.

It will work on TW-based custom roms but on AOSP/AOKP it will behave just like your finger, no pressure sensitivity and such.

wait so pressure sensitivity only works with default apps? so it wont work with any drawing apps from the market?

For apps that support pressure sensitivity it will work just fine (take a look at the note 10.1 forum for some examples), but I THINK you still need to be on a TW based rom. I'm not sure though, too bad I no longer have my Note 1 to check it.
i ordinarily flash straight to pure aosp from whatever manufacturer paint job the phone comes with (sense, touchwiz, blur), but after watching the hands on video i may actually stay stock with the note 2, my only reason for switching from stock on my gs3 was ICS/big red not pushing out JB, but the s-pen functions look so good.

A new user interface from Samsung, termed Pure Breeze UI has been released and Android users, especially those that are intent on keeping their phone screens neat and organized should go and try it! Samsung has said that the main focus of this user interface will be proper organization of the widgets and more streamlined application managing.
available in both free and paid versions
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.smcl.spblauncherlite&hl=en
The Lite version is free and has the same features as the full version, but with some limitations on the number of items you can organize. You can easily switch between Pure Breeze and your default home screen by a simple change in the Settings application.
Enjoy Pure Breeze, and get simply organized!

The reviews on the Play Store don't look too promising... I tend to trust the reviews as well as Android users tend to be fairly honest when it comes to reviewing apps. It doesn't look like it was updated recently either??

So, I've been searching for info on multi- window for our devices.. Seen its a WIP.. Just wanted to know if there had been any progress made..? I really would to try it out! BTW I appreciate all the work everyone puts into these custom ROMs! I think I'm addicted to flashing... Lol

No progress worth noting in the likes of a beta or anything, the note 2 has very different tw framework
Right on, but the shostock job ROM for the att s2 sgh i777 has the multi window available and it seems pretty smooth.. I really love the concept and hope that the awesome developers for our device can achieve it!

I was also excited to use multi window, but after using it on my s3, in my opinion it should stay a feature exclusive to 5 inch screens. It is very hard to use on anything smaller. It's cool to play with, but I will never find myself using it when I'm actually trying to get something done.

Multi window on a low resolution screen... completely retarded. Flash any skyrocket 4.1.2 ROM and try the pop up video player and you'll see what I mean.

ahem... i use it, if you pinch the video smaller it isnt that bad, and the quality is amazing. those of us who use smaller dpi dont mind the screen size and prefer it smaller/denser. not to mention as a delivery driver having navigation and calculator open at the same time would be awesome. possibly a pop up video too every now and then.
i would think somebody who didn't want that technology was retarded.
Indeed. Dpi resolution change certainly extends the Hercules' longevity.
Hey guys. New to the note 2 forums. I've been using a nexus for the last 4 years and one thing I really dislike about the note is the way touch wiz looks. However I would rather not go to cm10 and lose out on the s pen functionality.
Is there a middle ground somewhere?

Not trying to be that guy... But what do you use it for? I can swype a note faster and more readable with my finger. With Carbon I get AOSP 4.2.2, Voodoo sound, 2GHZ over clock. I can still use the stupid pen just not the Spen app.

The first link is for the rom, the second link is for the theme to be flashed on top of the rom. Make sure you follow the directions to a T.
I love airview, had an Ascend with a trackball and used it religiously viewing webpages, making selections (if you think our phone is to big for one handed use, try comjng from a scroll ball phone where my hand was usually always near the bottom of the screen), and correcting text, etc.
Im currently in the process of retraining myself just to use screen taps for full functionality, but airview is nice

You can also flash jelly beans 9 that's found ink the Verizon section then flash the T Mobile modem back after. Works like a charm!

I don't use the pen very much, but I found the touchwiz camera app so much better than stock android that I had to stick with tw.
Hey guys, I am not from around here. But I need your help. My friend has a Galaxy Note 2 with Android Revolution HD 11.2. I am the one who does all the mods for him. He is happy with it, but after seeing PA Halo he really wants it. But a note 2 without touchwiz s pen features is no good. So what I need help with is, is there any touchwiz based ROM that has Halo already implemented or planning to be implemented soon. Also, can it or will it ever be implemented? The threads are too confusing for me as I am not used to bring in the Galaxy Note 2 thread. Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

I don't there are any TW ROMs with halo
Check out ninja SMS from the play store
It offers a similar effect as halo but it only works for SMS

If he really needs the SPen features, but really wants to use PA, then you can install GMD SPen control and Papyrus. GMD allows you to set up triggers for pen out/in actions as well as SPen gestures and floating quicklaunch bars for common SPen apps and actions. Papyrus is, IMO, the best SPen app on the market. Both apps will cost a couple dollars, but well worth it for gaining back 90% of the SPen functionality on an AOSP ROM.
Also, with PA, you can add permanent apps to HALO that you find convenient for opening in a floating window.
The only feature I haven't found a suitable replacement for is the cut/copy feature of the SPen's side button.
Unrelated sidebar, speaking of cut/copy, Cut Copy is a great band. You should check them out.

Thank you jallenhayslett, I'll look into that. But, I am from India and debit card support here is a hit an miss in Google play store. Most of can't pay in the play store and credit cards are rather rare. I also refuse to download cracked stuff. No piracy policy.
Do any of the touchwiz based ROM developers plan to add Halo? I am willing to wait a few weeks.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I doubt its going to happen. Halo is a PA development, AOSP, and beta at that. The closest thing I've seen that exists for TouchWiz is an app/service called Floating Notifications. It's in the Play Store, but I'm quite certain its a paid app.
---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------
You could also consider something I saw on XDA's front page a couple weeks ago. Its called Bubble Launcher. I haven't messed with it, but it looks capable and promising.
Floating Notification is pretty similar to PA Halo
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I agree that Halo is a PA feature. But from what I got to know off of the nexus 4 thread, its now open source and all are allowed to implement it. That's why I asked if any developers are planning on it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
It might be possible, but based on my limited knowledge of the systems, implementing it into Samsungs system would be more trouble than most devs are willing to tackle. That doesn't mean its impossible, though. Stock Sammy ROMs are now implementing floating windows and such. So, given enough time, and a curious enough dev, it could happen.
Hopefully that curious developer doesn't have to be me. I already have enough coding work at college as it is.

Thanks etecdailey, please give me some feed back after a few days of usage. My friend isn't very skilled at troubleshooting. So.... I have to make sure that its stable before flashing it for him. And I also thank all the others for making me feel at home.
