Is there anyway to customize what apps I can use with Multiwindow? I want to use calculator but it's not in the Multiwindow drawer. I know the sprint and verizon versions have developers who have created this ability does the att version have this option?
Do you want to flash a new rom or stay stock?

Stock rooted is my preference, but if flashing is the only option it may be worth it.
CleanROM and Jedi are both really good roots that allow what you want. I would read through both and see which meets your needs.
I'm getting incredible battery life on CleanROM and they just updated to 4.0.5.
Both roms are very well supported, so you can't go wrong.
I just tried and the calculator works with my setup.

I am running cleanROM which has it already installed and I believe stock rooted international has built in ability to do it also.
Here is older option also.

I want the multi window controll app as well, but like the OP id like to stay stock. There is a MW control app available in XDA but you have to be rooted and de-odexed

I think you are just sending the multi-window update. What we are looking for is the option to use any app on our phone with multi-window. Using the OTA update there are only certain apps that can be used in multiwindow.
Same problem

You need at least root. I higly recommend you to install cleanrom 1.2. It is based on att rom with many improvements. why the fixation to stay with stock? If you flash you can always go back to stock in case of warranty claim.

I would like this feature as well. Like a lot of users, I am rooted but prefer to remain stock for various reasons. For example, I was using cleanrom 5.0 over the last week until a coworker informed me my outlook meeting invites were not populating on group calendars. There are a ton of minor flaws I find like this with custom roms that don't exist on stock. In fact, in three phones and as many years if rooting, I have never found a rom as reliable as the one that the manufacturer intended.

I just wrote a paragraph explaining that I had found a good rom; the stock one. Isn't the spirit of XDA predicated on finding the experience that works best for the individual-be it stock or custom, free from judgement? Regardless, I would love to have this feature on the stock rom, which is why I revived this thread.
I am saving towards a Galaxy S4, but in the meantime, I was wondering if there is a Rom that can make my S3 look and feel like a S4?
Thank you!
If you're talking about the features like eye tracking and finger hovering over and stuff like that then no. Its nearly impossible to port those things since its completely different hardware and TouchWiz is closed source. There is a couple of ROMs that have multi-window and other goodies but not like the S4. You can search and look around for a modified S4 launcher and theme to make it look like one. But that's as close as you'll get.

Yes, to answer your original question. There is a way to make it look like the S4.
Hyperdrive [XDA Link] - It has a few of the widgets that the S4 has as seen in the screenshots. Other than that, I would say hold off for official updates on the S3.

Only issue is the i747 and i747M seem to be the forgotten models when it comes to updates. I just read that the Verizon model just received the 4.1.2 update, and quite recently Sprint and T-Mobile received it. Also, the i9300 just got the 4.2.2 update. Meanwhile, the most used S3 (i747/i747M) hasn't received anything, nor have there been any news or hints regarding updates.

Lol if you do please PLEASE provide a system dump and help the devs out. If you do why didn't you say so if every stock TW ROM on xda is only 4.1.1.
If you had it wouldn't you of noticed every single ATT S3 out there was different from yours? .... Sorry and apologize for the language but its straight BS

My AT&T SGH-i747 only came with 4.1.1. (Somehow, I thought I had 4.1.2; but, apparently I was wrong.)
I was also searching for ways to upgrade the software to make it more S4-like. If I must wait, then I must wait. But I really enjoy tinkering with it.
Until recently, I had AOKP Android 4.2.2 on it, but an update (9-10-2013) caused my phone, messaging, and several other apps to disappear.
So now, I'm back to the original factory, unlocked, unrooted, stock Android 4.1.1.
It wants to do an AT&T update, but I don't know what the update is. So, I haven't approved it yet. I want to go back to AOKP, but I can't find the file I used with ODIN to root it the first time.

If you are going to AOKP, I think you just need to flash a recovery, i.e. CWM or TWRP and flash the rom of your choice.
flash rom to 4.1.2
As long as you're not rooted the built in OTA updater in the Settings should update you to 4.1.2. I recommend CF Auto Root and pwncakes' Quantum rom (4.3) if you like AOSP, if not, Hyperdrive is easily the most complete TW rom.

The aosp roms are in the "original development" forum. The samsung touchwiz roms are in the development forum.
Btw in case you didnt know, it's not as important to be on the latest android version anymore because google moved major features into apps in the store. A good example is like google search, the siri competitor, and everyone gets it the day its updated. 4.3 and kitkat don't really add much over 4.2. They look almost exactly the same and the new stuff has really specific uses that most people dont run in to. Almost no apps require it. I'd suggest getting a 4.2 touchwiz rom like infamous or wicked.

They are practically the same.
Physically they are almost identical except metro doesn't have any carrier branding on the outside (a plus). T-mobile is on MDL firmware and Metro is on MF2, which are similar but not identical.
Most 4.2.2 roms have most of what 4.3 offers and even 4.4 in some cases. Although with tmo finally updating to 4.3 next week, I'm assuming most roms will be updated shortly.
While there is always a chance for problems, rooting/flashing roms is fairly easy if you take the time to read/watch a video or two. Chainfire jokes that it should only take 30 seconds to root a device with his method and he isn't exaggerating, but doesn't mean you should rush.
Here is a run down of how I rooted and sim unlocked my 2 metro S4s. Both running on Hyperdrive rom with faux123's kernel.

WiFi was working just fine. The camera looks exactly the same as 4.3 to me. I didn't do a whole lot of testing because I needed to get my service back, so I'm currently LGNPSTing back to stock. Feel free to try it if you like, but you'll have to LGNPST to get your service back. And if it bricks your device you can't blame me.
I'll just be patient and wait for a Sprint release or go get a Nexus 5... Haven't decided yet.

I wasn't about to try it. I got all the kit kat apk's running on my carbon install and pretty happy with a mocked up kit kat install for the moment.
I know there are numerous members including myself, that have updated to KK 4.4.2, and just experienced nothing but crap, in comparison to 4.3, which we cannot go back to. But, luckily there is a Galaxy Note 3/Galaxy S4/Nexus 5 god somewhere. They have heard our complaints about the srewed-up update released, and are currently working on the fix, which will be named 4.4.3. This update will fix numerous issues, involving the most talked about, camera and data drops......ps. connection drops, etc. I've read they are currently testing the update, so in other words, they jumped right on it. I hqve been suffering from the 4.4.2 sickness every since the update, wishing I could, or someone find a way to go back to 4.3. I just recently updated my Galaxy S 4, not aware of the troubles, but didnt run full testing method to ensure that I respected the update. I just immediately fell In love with the smoothness and speed, unaware of the crap under the covers. And then I got bold and updated my Beast of Hardware, the Note 3...........and was overwhelmed by the lack of tlc of the update. But threw all the rebooting, the battery pulls, the waiting for sitez to load, the non responsive buttons, they are working to fix this horrible experience. Thanks you Android for wasting time, but at least aorking to fix the problems. Upon release of the fix, I cant wait to see the sweetness the Dev's bring to the table with the new OS fix.

Wait, I thought all TMO Note 3's were unlocked?
Damn, I just bought one. SHould get here in a couple days. Sure hope it's not 4.4.2. If it is and I can't install TWRP, then it's going back up for sale.

The bootloader is unlocked. Even on 4.4.2. The qfuse won't let you downgrade the bootloader, but it's unlocked. I have the 4.4.2 bootloader with TWRP 2.7.0.0 and running leanKernel, so obviously it's not locked.

The update of 4.4.3 starts rolling out at 12am, so the bugs of 4.4.2 will be squashed hopefully, just update and see.

My mistake, just wrong wording.

Back when 4.4.2 was released a member here that works for Samsung said when it would be released and it was released on the exact day he said it was. He also said another update was already in the works for May so it is no surprise that another should be hitting before long.

so in 1 month to go another update will be arriving again?
Can't wait for the update.
No internet is pretty irritating.
So, the data drop on KK 4.4.2 is something everyone is having? Its annoying me.
