Starting puttering around with this again.

I still think something is going on with services.jar preventing working split pane. Once I start replacing services.jar files, the split pane disappears entirely. Any thoughts Stryke?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I had the split pane back with my last build, I don't remember what I did right off, but if you want I can upload the services jar this afternoon when I get home so you can diff them:beer:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
Hey I'm not that knowledgeable in ports and coding of that nature, but wouldn't it be good to port out the multi Window mod from this rom and run a diff and see if there's any similarities in the codes and possibly get some more insights to see if you guys can get a push. It wouldn't hurt to try here's the link

Yes I did but haven't spent too much time with it yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
No problem, I just wanted to make sure you got it before I forgot lol. Wifi at work will give me a "action denied", "can not send duplicate" or "failed to connect to forum" message in pm and quoted replies. I'm guessing it has something to do with them blocking out social media, but I don't know lol.

I hope that helps you, or at least gives you something to go on. I'm still picking at it, but much more slowly the last couple weeks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
You guys need to get roam control and a custom prl going. I use it all the time in low signal areas when I am working. I forgot once and left my phone roaming for an entire month. Got a nice letter from Sprint too. :eek:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Stryke, you've probably figured this out already but you know android.policy multiview folder/files we add also have public values to change.

I've also noticed that while all apps are not multiview capable, they will let you drag them into a mv pane, but not the other way around (I can drag XDA app over youtube, but not youtube over xda app, pane will not appear). So I think I'm going to concentrate on only testing with a couple apps like youtube and gallery because no matter which order you drag them over, they will try to open in multi-pane.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Yeah, I've been using Gmail and youtube LOL:beer:

Have you tried all the different flashbar files available too? I have like 6 of them that I flash one at a time to see if it makes a difference too just in case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I've tried all the ones I could find, I even tried modding a few. I have a logcat of the last time I flashed a test build that I haven't gone through yet. I'll have to get back on it and see what it needs

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Stryke, I just noting diffed stock services.jar with the one you sent me.

When comparing public values for framework-res.apk in service.jar files:

AppErrorDialag.smali - public values 1040xxx do not match stock services.

MultiWindowManagerService.smali - public values 1050xxx & 1110xxx do not match stock services.

Changed values, did not make a difference for me.

With your services.jar, pane shows when dragging and dropping but do not get split pane (even a full screen one for app). Last app dragged over does not even open in the foreground. Is this what you're getting with the rest of your changes? I'd be interested in seeing what you have for the rest of the framework changed files too.

Like I said before, with virgin services.jar, I get the split pane and second app dragged over does open but app is full screen. As soon as I make any services.jar changes, I lose panes altogether.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I'll send you what I've got when I get home, I know it won't upload here LOL

Multiwindow mod working p6200!

After months of messing around i've finally managed to figure out how to get the multi window mod functioning on the Tab Plus...i know u guys maybe be thinking "woopty doo...what does this have to do with u?" Lol...well as some of u may already know the epic 4g touch is not that different from our device since it is in fact just a variant of the galaxy s2 which uses the same chipset as the P6200/P6210. So with that said if someone will be willing to provide me their "android.policy.jar"(must be from a DEODEXED 4.1.2 TOUCHWIZ rom...preferably stock) i will put together a zip of the files i used which will hopefully help u guys get this going...below i will link to my original thread in the Tab Plus forum which explains the installation, setup , & other issues.

Please read, test & report

Guys i aplogize for dropping in then disappearing but i've been putting togethor a V2 for the Tab Plus as well trying to help the Tab 2 and 7.7 guys get their version going...i realize that u have gone through a few months of multi window mayhem so let me first start by saying that there are NO GUARANTEES. Let me also say that in my opinion this is definitely a case of "cant see the forest for the trees" the issue being that we were all so intently focused on looking at the code under a microscope instead of giving our attention to the files in general & their various versions & firmware combinations...which is the reason why we have been stuck so long. The moment i changed my perspective from code to combos i had the mod working the next day....if u think about it logically what makes more sense, that samsung wasted their time going through hundreds of thousands of lines of code in order to eliminate one option OR that they simply removed a few files essential for the feature to function?! I've read through this ENTIRE thread before i finally figured it out for our device & know that u have tried a FEW different combos but i must stress the fact to anyone who may be working on this that this is the most important point...for example one of the guys who originally got this going used note 10 permission files with a TAB 2 systemui.apk on a note 1! The real kicker is that firmware versions are just as important..the same mod i made will not work with the newest version of our own firmware so while it may be a tedious combine, flash & repeat process this is indeed possible. I say all of that to say, THIS IS A PROCESS meaning that it will most likely NOT magically happen over night...the first file i upload may just work, it might be the 50th but i'm more than willing to work with those who are willing to with me. So with that said, ive put together a few files for u guys to test and will attempt a few more versions when i get in later...it has been reported that some boot loops have been fixed by a factory reset(i know its a headache) but if all else fails give it a try

oh, yeah...can someone upload a pure stock android.policy.jar and let me know which firmware its from?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I was not able to get your v2 as the files read 1&2 bytes each, however I did grab the first set you had up. When I get back home I'll grab these files and upload a completely stock android policy if no one else has. I appreciate your insight and willingness to help here:D:beer:

Thx to those of u who uploaded the policy jar i needed & just so we're clear YES it needs to be from a DEODEXED 4.1.2 rom...which actually brings up a good question, Is there an official 4.1.1 rom for your device?

No, only 4.1.2 and 4.0 before that, pm me a link- I have a fresh backup and I'll let you know what happens as soon as I flash it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
My apologies as well.

You must realize that our ranks are severely depleted and there are perhaps 3 people with any working knowledge of the MW framework here.

I will look into what you sent as soon as I can also.

---------- Post added at 01:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

Ok, flashed all 3 without any issues and can't figure out how to activate Multiwindows. LOL

Short of forcing the toggle through secsettings I'm not sure how from stock and longpress back key doesn't activate it.

Here is what I've noted:

- All 3 flash without issue.

- All 3 do not trigger the 'updating apps' dialogue on reboot. Which I find pretty odd because normally flashing any of the framework files usually kicks this off and you have to wait for it to complete.

Btw, typically just having flashbarservice.apk installed all on its own allows MW app to show just by long pressing back key with no other framework changes. It doesn't really do anything of course but just thought I'd add that in since you pointed out that the base structure is already there within our framework which I've already pointed out at some point ;).

Cheers - TD
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Well considering TD beat me to getting them reviewed I'll just leave it at that LOL. I'd really like to get my hands on your v2 update but the files are still only 1-2 bytes. Any chance you could upload them to a mirror site?

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Ok, reporting in again.

I stated that it never showed 'updating apps' after installing. The only time I've seen this happen is if the files never flash or the exact same files get flashed and the system knows that files have not really changed.

So... I decided to flash one of these differently and I guess I was correct because the first flash never made it past the SII splash screen. I will have to make my own flashable zip with these files and I'll let you guys know what happens.

Ok did it my way and none of these boot. Gets stuck at bootanimation and never comes up. Does not bootloop either just freezes at bootanimation.

BTW Devious, our SystemUI.apk is located in preload/symlink/system/app in the stock deodexed build with a symlink to system/app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THEDEVIOUS1:
I was just about to suggest that the updater-script may not be correct...as far as enabling multi window after i flashed i had to go to the "settings - display" menu and uncheck multi window(which just made me think...u guys may need another secsettings but i could have sworn that u have been able to get the menu before) then recheck for the bar to even show up. Are either of u seeing the maximize/resize button in the top right corner becuase it only shows up in apps with multi enabled by default? To enable the others try samsung multi window manager which will actually place the icon in the bottom right corner...about to see what else i can workout while I'm at wait on the word

[MENTION=3053298]Stryke_the_Orc[/MENTION]

the links to the tab versions(which is actually what u want) seem to come up fine for me but the phablet version(which contains nothing but ui "reset" files) of v2 is not but if u got to file download u should be able to get it too...however if its still giving u a headache then here try this

thanks for the input..i'm assuming u did a factory reset? i actually have 2 more stupid questions that are SLIGHTLY off topic but can u guys flash other GS2 roms and has anyone ever attempted a port?(i know the answer to this already as i talked to a user from this thread before & he said he had a personal port with working multi but couldn't/didn't want to upload for whatever reason)

Well tell him to at least share how he got it working... Please.:D

Team Rejectz
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THEDEVIOUS1:
man i apologize...been posting on too many different device forums. It was actually a user in the tab 2 forums...i'm still curious about the port attempt though

[MENTION=3053298]Stryke_the_Orc[/MENTION]

maybe we need to open up a dialogue about how i made the initial discovery...i think i've already admitted several times that i'm a newb & therefore not really a programmer and so have only recently been getting familiar with the android code due to desire get multi window working. Well, long story short(well shortER) I was comparing the phonewindowmanager.smali between my device, one with multiwindow originally and one with the mod being ported over and what stood out is the fact that we actually had MORE code for multi in particular one line "TYPE_MULTI_WINDOW_TOOLKIT_BAR" which was present in the TabPlus version but not any other that i had checked so far. Here's the real kicker...due to me previously trying so many different combos i just so happen to have ran across a permissions file in the note 8 which goes by the name of "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.TOOLKIT.xml" thats not present in any other rom or version of the mod thus far. I find it very peculiar u would have code without the file that it reference(P6200) but its just flat out strange that the file would be present on an entirely different device(N5100) and yet not even be referered to in its own code at all! I took this info and ran with it putting together a zip of just multi files(v1) and flashed and well, u do the math...lol. V2 came about after attempting to fix resize & pin and was achieved by using the note 8 framework files(all of them including twframework & framework2...although i'm sure there is something in the zip i can get rid of altogether) which is why i'm leaning toward the combination of file versions/firmware variations theory rather than adding/removing code(which at this piont i'm sure would be the way to perfect our version though). I guess it should be noted that i NEVER needed to edit the services.jar or secsettings.apk and the only thing done to android.policy.jar was adding the missing multi window folder(not to say that u guys wont need to in the end). I think one other key thing may be the fact that multi window is part of the spen sdk although i'm not sure how that matters since we dont have pen support either but there could very well be some missing dependency *shrugs*

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Since we're talking about possibly porting a ROM from another S2, and the only other version of the S2 would be the international S2... couldn't we just use one of those with the developers permission port it over and make edits for CDMA and WiMAX, disable NFC, hope everything still works and it boots up.

I know we can boot the international S2 ROMs but there is just no signal. Whatever you do, do not factory reset from the OS. This is something that you need a safe kernel for, and IMO agat did a great job on the kernel and I stand by his recovery for flashing all of the JB TW ROMs. I still use the EL kernels to flash AOSP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
Alliance Rom would be a good rom to port it has the multiwindow mod already incorporated.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I've tried the port idea before, very early on, and when I was able to boot mw didn't work. I tried using the method Mythrandyr(sp?) used to originally accomplish this.

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THEDEVIOUS1:
Did u read the book i wrote u about to 3 posts up(lol) and is it true for your device as well that u only need to add the permission files to get the toggle to show up in the display section of the settings menu and/or notification controls or do u actually have to edit secsettings.apk?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I've never needed to edit settings to get the toggle to show, I believe it showed after adding to the android.policy.jar may have been the bools edit in framework-res also, I don't really remember at this point LOL.

Also, I'd never seen the tool kit permission before either, so thats definitely an avenue to explore:beer:

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I believe the only that is necessary for the toggle to show is adding flashbarservice.apk.

What if we request for some help with the dev who accomplished the multiwindow mod in the GS2 forums, it won't hurt to ask it will at least get this process moving into progress faster. I will PM the dev and see what's up. Stryke if you give me the okay I will proceed to request for assistance...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
We've already asked Mythrandyr and he offered what help he could, thats how I've gotten this far;)

Also the support and help from Tdunham as well as the rest of this community has been instrumental, the problem lies in the differences between the two frameworks and the damn enterprize permissions sprint has implemented.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THEDEVIOUS1:
uh...enterprise permissions?! so the rumors that the problem might be kernel related MAY actually be true for u guys...i still dont believe it though because surely u have custom kernels without those restrictions
