Can anyone port real multi windows to galaxy grand?
I mean, not this basic multi window limited to two static windows that we have but the real stuff, with unlimited resizable floating windows, like here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2312004
I installed it on my galaxy tab and it's awesome, I can open as many windows as I want, minimise or maximise them like in a computer, pin them to keep them always on the screen, open any app as a window by just clicking its icon from the flash bar etc.
It would be really nice to have it on our grand, wouldn't it?
Thanks in advance to whoever will do it!
Nice concept!! Worth to have! @chotu222 and @k2wl knows such modifications!

Well I hope that they will have a look at it, but to be honest I hoped that you would as well since you made many mods for the grand

i think we might need each other's help....i see that u are interested in getting floating window working for the galaxy grand and i'm trying to help the galaxy advance guys get their multi window mod working(the advance does NOT include multi by default) so i was thinking if we can figure it out then it MIGHT work for them also. If u are willing to try a few flash zips and file replacements then i'm wiling to help....of course u know i don't own a grand so i would be depending upon your reports. What i need to know first is will your phone still boot at 160 dpi and if so...does it change the ui from phone to phablet/tablet?
@unclefab
lets start simple...first add the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to your build prop. Next...delete the "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml" in "system/etc/permissions" then place the 2 files below in the same location (don't forget to set proper permissions).
edit: If u are on MF7(actually shouldnt matter) u can just flash the zip below (i would try it anyway...just be sure to backup before u begin) or u can pull the 2 permissions files and do it manually...the package already has the build prop edited with the above line and dpi is set to 160 but may need to be changed to 200/213

i made floating window work for a while but when i tried too reboot it stuck in bootloop later giveup

The one in the notification bar will disappear once u delete phone.xml...the one in settings should show up when u add tablet.xml which means u probably need to check permissions. Also....even though u dont see the toggle try to hold the back button to see if the bar pops out.(not important right now though) Did the buttons & mini apps arrow appear at the bottom of the screen and if so...does it work when u press it?
Oh yeah....install this xposed multi window manager module and enable some apps then reboot and look for the maximize/restore icon

I set up the right perms from the beginning mate
I have the xposed multi windows manager from before, with all apps allowed.
But no fun, pushing the back button doesn't do anything, No mini tray arrow, unlike with the tab 7...
By the way, thank you to take in charge this thread, cuz the "devs" here in grand forum seem to be more interested with fancy colours in their notification bar or s4 wallpapers.
But at their credit I have to admit that floating multi window is harder to realise than changing colors in the system ui

Which dpi? For the whole phone? Or for a specific app?
Ok, let me try first with some specific apps.
Another problem is that the grand flashbar doesn't display properly if it's dpi is below 230, I had tried previously. It appears, but the lower part is missing and its impossible to edit it.

The whole phone...dont worry about the flashbar for right now. Once we get floating mode working we'll replace it with a multi dpi version or just change settings in app settings module...we really want the mini bar to work right now but more importantly we need the maximize/resize icon to appear

Stick with 241 and you will be good to go. If you use something like NovaLauncher you can essentially get a nice tablet like UI going.

SystemUI crashes because you have navigation bar enabled (which tablets don't have). You can modify your framework-res.apk to hide the navigation bar (thread HERE) and use something like LMT launcher or button savior to get home/back/etc. keys. Then it won't crash anymore. I've done this and it works fine. If you are on the 4.0.4 verizon ROM, you can find the modified framework in the thread HERE (and you can find simple instructions to do it yourself) or flashable HERE.
Alternatively, I've read (but not tested) that adding the following to your build.prop will stop it from crashing at 160 dpi.
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

I gave you your answer. Read my previous post. You just need to hide the navigation bar. I messed around with it on my phone running verizon 4.0.4 by just making the required change to framework-res.apk and changing the screen density to 160 dpi. It's simple and you don't need to be a 'developer'. You ask for help, but don't give any specifics on what ROM version you have. I linked you to 4.0.4 version. If you're not using that verizon ROM, post your framework-res.apk and I'll mod it for you. It literally takes about 2 minutes to do (counting the time to upload it as an attachment here).

I'm pretty sure aokp has the ability to hide the navigation bar already. Look through the settings. Hide it and then switch to 160 dpi.

Thanks for all the help.
I finally got it working on my own.
One thing that remains and it's a biggie. I can't make or receive calls. The phone app crashes every time.
I did a lot of google searches and all the other devs are stuck at the same point.
However, I did find one dev in the Galaxy Note forums that made a ROM that supposedly works in tablet mode.
Any ideas?

Yeah unfortunately I haven't seen anything yet that forces the buttons onto the bottom. The likely reason for this is that the buttons would take up .25-.5 inch of screen real estate in landscape which would not be desirable at all.
I got it to work.
Here is what I had to do.
- Hide the nav bar using AOKP (builds 25 - 27 work)
- Change my dpi to 192 or less
-- This brought out the tablet interface (menu buttons on lower left). Notifications and time on the lower right etc
- Phone app would keep on crashing and I was unable to make or receive calls
-- Fixed this by downloading AOKP build 27 phone.apk for the HTC Incredible and replaced the phone.apk on my nexus. The reason why the phone app would crash was because of the dpi, so I had to find a lower dpi phone.apk.
Was then able to use all the basic functions of my phone including the market. However, the entire thing seemed a unstable (would have rom manager or systemUI crash randomly).
I'm giving it up for now. Hopefully some dev will see the value in getting this working and create a complete ICS rom for it.

Yes, I confirm that adding "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" to build.prop works as well.
I figured out that 180 dpi is the lowest you can go and not have the phone app crash. The launcher lags when running landscape though.

You can replace the phone.apk with one from another device send have it working. I don't remember which device, but I read it in the tablet rom thread in the CDMA galaxy development forums at rootzwiki.

Ofcouse you need root . Download Romtoolbox from play store go to build.prop /Ro.sf.lcd.density/ set property value to 240/ reboot ( but you will have little issue like when receive call,the answer & end button will misalign ,still working normal though)

Have you adjusted Menu > Settings > Accessibility > Font Size?
You can change that to "Tiny." Not sure if that's what you are looking for though?
The font sizes in Accessibility dont realy change them that much. Tiny is not that small or I just have good vision.... Custom launchers can help w/ the icon sizes.
I dont like how much room the toggles and screen brightness slider take up in the notification window. In portrait mode they take up like half the screen.

Sorry , for delay feedback been busy with real life job. Here is the 240 dpi mod link which compiable with note2 and I alway use Apex launcher Pro as my default launcher. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1873026 ( you must set LCD Density at 240 dpi when you use those Mod )
I've noticed in the past that sometimes a DPI of 241 works better than 240. Might be worth trying if you run into any other issues with alignment etc.

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.

I was playing around in SqLite Editor, and I stumbled upon a way to enable the grid UI in settings.
What I did was open SqLite Editor, found Settings Storage, then into Setting.db, then into System, found "settings-gridui" and change the value to "1"
I have the S5 found Note 4 and the setting menu as as a grid was pretty cool and to get it back on the Note has made me love this phone even more.
Try it out and let me know if it work a for you all as well.
Thanks for the find! Trying out now
I hate the fact that if you change it to like tab view or something, you can't go back in

Sweeeet! I lived off of Shurling Dr
Wow wouldn't have thought I would see somebody that stayed in Macon, let alone East Macon. I used to stay on Knightsbridge Rd.

I hate the fact that if you change it to like tab view or something, you can't go back in

The grid is working fine... but we really do need a way to make it appear as "View as" option...

Definitely, I'm looking in the SecSettings.apk to see if its possible to enable the grid view option, I'm pretty sure its in there somewhere

It did, thanks.
I'm also looking into how to get the UI to stick for the addition lockscreen options that's available. Once I can get them to remain optional after a reboot, I'll post a couple of screenies and some instructions:good:

Lol is this why you asked about the sqlite editor?
Grid view can be permanently enabled with xml edits. It will also give you the view options you are looking for so you can change views whenever you want. You decompile SecSettings and edit the appropriate xml file (can't remember exactly which one unless i'm looking at the files, sorry) to enable grid view and disable tab view. This combination will allow you to switch between the two views with the menu button. However it won't let you use tab and grid settings at the same time for some reason... only list and grid or list and tab.
What you are doing is editing the settings.db file which is fine but if you do a reset it will be lost.

Great find, I'll toy around with it and see what will come of it. Thanks for the info and instructions
Decompile SecSettings.apk
Look in res/values for bools.xml
I believe you will find the setting in there... i'm pretty sure.
Just remember that you can only set one of them to true. If you set grid and tab both to true, it will not work.
Save then recompile and push it into your priv-app folder then set permissions and it will stick.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Love it.
Can someone cook up a flashable zip to do all the work for everyone?

I don't you are running stock or custom, but I've been working with @bri315317 over at Dynamic Kat and his rom actually not only has this optional, but also 11 lockscreen effects to choose from. Check it out

To decrease T3's screen dpi.... Just head over to build.props can b found in root system.... Edit the build.props by adding a line at the end, type "ro.sf.lcd_density=280"
320 is the stock value
I found 280 is looking best...
Try..
Make sure to make a backup of ur build.props first

If you want to use it on single apps you can do it (root required) by installing xposed framework and downloading the module xposed app settings.

Look, I've just applied it on action 3 launcher, with the following settings. Looks like a tablet right now.
You can either apply on android settings or whatever you want.
