[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ianbbaa:
So we learned what are miniapps in v0,1/v0,2 - in v0,3 they are not to used anymore, but they are still present!!! Miniapps is separate app with its own layout and "reduced" functionality in opposite to the main app!!!

For the future, samm will use probably some kind of "downscalling" for all of their apps in order to use the Main app in Ministyle! So we use stock app, just scaled down to "miniapp" dimensions. You can then revert to fullscreen or go back to mini! Some of you will like it, some of you might preffer old miniapps.

V0,3 uses in the miniapp tray option to choose 5 options, how the app will be handled in screen.

3rd party apps does not have official support for this thing - probably not yet It is easy to implement this function for the app developpers so i believe in the future they will include it in their apps. You might look here what is doing the trick!

1. Widnowed - option to resize, fulscreen and go back to mini.

2. Half to Half - you can also resize size of the apps when you use stock FlashBar feature. (you can not resize when the FlashBar is deleted)

3 + 4 are 2/1 layout - uselles i thing

5 - 4square layout - also too small for our screen

This feature comes from the Tab2-7 systemUi where samsung planned also for the leaked N10,1 JB this layout - but what i saw, they dropped this and left only windowed and half/half layout on official JB for N10,1.

So most usefull option might be Windowed style and half by half - which you can use the same way as on stock.

For the every app we can set the default size (displayed when you open it) and minimum size (smallest size you can downscale) So it is matter of choice how who like it so i ve done for the start and preview (have limited time for this) only:

Calculator, Gallery - modded default size as minumum - so it will open all the time at its minimum size stated!

Messaging - opens at stated default size and you can swype then to lover size!

Sory for more i had no time...

All other ported apps from N10,1 appear a bit bigger and can not be downscaled - yet. But some stock XXLS7 stock apps have this ability and are styled a bit smaller. So matter of time to style the default/minimum size of the app.

Here it is done: Dimension.xml

<dimen name="app_defaultsize_w">332.0dip</dimen>

<dimen name="app_defaultsize_h">460.0dip</dimen>

<dimen name="app_minimumsize_w">332.0dip</dimen>

<dimen name="app_minimumsize_h">460.0dip</dimen>

These dimension are used for Calculator and Gallery - you see the both are same default+minimum - that means default size ist the smallest one and you can resize. When you state default a bit bigger - app open bigger and you can downscale.

Launcher ADW - this one is really great on JB.

All other apps kept - but remember, there are really uselles widgets and bloat that keep running, so clean up the rom as you like.

Email - kept the stock one for now cause works now with Contacts, and does not have the Copy/paste bug.
