A lot of P31xx apps ready for multiwindow (calculator, contacts, email, gallery, internet, messaging, music player, video player) and already has multiwindow implementation inside framework2.jar. But the question still how to enable it? By copying multiwindow related files to /system/etc/permission and /system/framework - without any apk or jar modification - after a reboot, phone and file manager app start crashing complaining in logcat about a missing asset.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] strangesura:
Won't multi window come along with the 4.2.2 update?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] behemot24:
Will it be a 4.2.2 update? :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Narciso Neto:
Maybe... sammobile posted that some dual-core devices will receive 4.2.2 (including GTab 2 range). Its a "MAYBE"!

If we get the 4.2.2 update, maybe they include this feature in our device.

All we have is hope that samsung don't forget our device. :)

Sent from my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0...
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] panda00:
I wouldn't really count on us getting 4.2.2. As Samsung are going with a physical button layout for their latest 4.2.2 Tabs. It's unthinkable that they would change to accommodate us. lol.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Jeik:
What are you talking about?

4.2 update for our tabs will be featuring touch buttons,and every other thing will surely be same as the one in the newer tabs.

But with my experience with worst support from companies,something will go wrong,and samsung will probably turn into sony ;D

And samsung said that all dual core devices will get 4.2 and end on it.

And our tabs are supposed to get that update until September.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
test & report please

If u guys haven't given up yet then try the new V3 i made for the P6200(updater-script may need to be changed)...be sure to backup & wipe data before u flash

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Narciso Neto:
I would test it... but i don't know how to mod updater script, if anyone mod it to me, surely i'll try!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
I just checked it against the other tab 2 versions i made so it SHOULD be ok...but be sure to backup up
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Narciso Neto:
flashed.. it doesn't boot! :P

Anyway there's some strings related to multiwindows in res/values/bools.xml in P6200 framework that doesnt have in stock one (p3110).

<bool name="config_multiWindowControlbar">true</bool>
<bool name="config_multiWindowSupportMultiInstance">false</bool>
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
Did u try to factory reset/wipe data?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Narciso Neto:
No, but will it make any diference? :eek:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
I have had more than one user say that their tab wouldn't boot until they did but I can't promise u anything...worse case it just takes a few minutes more to restore your data so it's definitely worth a try

oh yeah...clear the cache if u do
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Narciso Neto:
I'll try to free some space on my internal sdcard (external sd is only 2GB) :good:

But if I backup via CWM then wipe data and cache, my internal sdcard (including my backup files) will be wiped too? :confused:

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Stellium7:
Hi all, i'm a noob, and I admitedly do not understand everything said in this thread. My apologies in advance. My question is, am I correct in thinking that as of yet there is no solution for multi-window on a tab 2 (p5100)? I have rooted my tablet, and installed "P5100BUDMD1_P5100VFGDMD1_P5100BUDLL1_HOME.tar" using Odin. Despite receiving a fail code after the install, it appears that everything is working normally on the tab, and 4.1.2 was successfully installed. Unfortunately, my whole reason for doing this was to get multi-window on my P5100. It appears as if the function SHOULD be there, because the up arrow at the bottom of the screen shows the multi-window taskbar, however there are no icons. There is also no checkbox for multi-window in the display settings. I have installed Multi-Window Manager and enabled all of the desired apps, but they still do not show up on the taskbar. Am I missing something, or is Multi-Window just not possible yet on the Tab2?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] shakatu:
Sounds like you broke it. That's the taskbar for windowed apps, and should be populated with Samsung apps. Other than that feature, correct there is no multi window working.

zip problems....new test version

I haven't forgot about u guys...i've been having zip issues so anything that i post will probably have to be manually placed with the proper permissions using aroma or twrp. Matter of fact one of the zips i gave u before COULD have been broken and the mod MIGHT have been working the entire time...anyway here is something new to give a go

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7yxeu9x48ILVzJPSTlzZHRJazQ/edit?usp=sharing

^TEST11 (try this but understand that the file may not flash properly so u will need to take all the files out and put them where they belong...and of course backup up before u begin)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Narciso Neto:
I'll try this when i get home (school right now), so i have to extract all files and re-do the zip with the files and diretories... right? :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
try to replace your systemui with the one i've attached below using TWRP or AROMA...hopefully the device will still boot then we can go from there

View attachment SystemUI.apk
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Narciso Neto:
I'm currently on CM10.1 thanks to Stock Lags...

I'll restore a baclkup from my old ROM, and then i'll try it :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Looklearner:
can i flash it on official 4.2.2 since it lacks ?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Tyrany:
I know this might be a stupid question but did you guys try ported files plus exposed patch for multiwindow that is on general android aps section?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
4.2.2 multi window test

I didn't realize 4.2.2 was out for u guys yet...try this zip below but please keep in mind that i have been experiencing issues with my flashable files so u MAY have to extract and manually place the files in the their proper places and set permissions using TWRP or AROMA (also i'm not sure if the updater-script is correct so i would advise doing it manually anyway)

^TAB 2 MULTI 4.2.2 TEST
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Looklearner:
It'll be nice to give us steps to go so we all can make it easily ;)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Narciso Neto:
i can't test it for now, bcoz 4.2.2 is out only for the GSM model (P3100) and I have a wifi only one (P3110) :(
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
long story short u will need to take each file in the zip and place it in the same location on your tablet (so u will copy all files in system/framework in the zip to system/framework on your phone etc) using twrp or aroma file manager (from recovery so your phone wont freeze) and then set the permissions of each file to 0644 (also known as "drw-r--r--") then reboot

i have a feeling that this mod may have been working for u guys but my zips keep coming out corrupt so i need a tester that knows how to manually place files & set permissions,,,did u try the file i gave u in post #123 or the other zip a couple of posts before that?!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Kieran 1711:
You can flash the 4.2.2 update on a P3110. I know it's for the P3100 but it still works on the P3110. Trust me, I've done it. Just make sure you wipe data otherwise you'll get a ton of bugs and crashes
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Droidlover123:
Anybody tried this????
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Narciso Neto:
I'll try it now, I'll install AROMA ;)

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

I don't know how to use Aroma, flashed and it showed up a beuatiful UI... but I can't acess my sdcard files and system folder only show a blank "bin" fiolder :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] nokiagye:
Hi I can't find any link for the mod
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Droidlover123:
Fast work bro;)

Beautiful ui!!!!

Sounds good. Screenshots please

And as devious said that there might be problem flashing zip so please extract zip and put its files to device via root explorer to respective folder
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Narciso Neto:
Uhh Doridlover, i don't know if u get it...

I'm on Aroma file manager right now...

I'll move the files and see if it boots :good:

Habing troubles in permissions...

I got:

User: Read Write Exec

Group: Read Write Exec

Others: Read Write Exec

SetUID SetGID Sticky

wich one I have to select to get 0664 permission? drw-r--r--

EDIT: I guess that he mean rw-r--r-- :D
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Droidlover123:
Yes he would be referring to rw-r--r--

And what you don't know I get or not????:p:confused:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] shakatu:
The "Beautiful UI" is AROMA file manger. I used Aroma installer for Zap and it does look good, but it's a pain to set up. Haven't tried the file manager...

Edit: The System UI you posted gives a nice "Unfortunately, SystemUI.apk has stopped working" on the 10.1

Edit 2: Here's the SystemUI.apk from the 10.1" none of the other SystemUI's from any of your other devices and even this thread (7") work on the 10.1, so it might be a special case... :-S
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Xintorrim:
How far is multiwindow development? Do you have any working zip already?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Droidlover123:
Not yet but please contribute in testing new zips that devious bro will post!!!!

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] openmatrix:
I tried the 4.2.2 versionon my 3100 and strucked with the BOOTLOOP:(
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
actuallly if u got the "Unfortunately, SystemUI.apk has stopped working" message then thats probably a good thing believe it or not...it usually means u need to just try a different dpi. Also everybody please install an alternative launcher before doing any tests (i personally use apex) & in case anybody does not know u MUST be using a deodexed rom of course....like i told [MENTION=3251735]droidlover[/MENTION]23 i'm willing to help u guys out as long as i have a few dependable & patient testers. I actually have a friend that has a 10.1 that i will try to borrow this week and try a few things...hopefully if i can get it going on there then the tab 2 7.0 can use the same mod
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Droidlover123:
i too got stuck in boot screen......but dont worry i contacted maker of this mod via pm and he said that he will be providing support....

we may keep our hopes high because he ported multi window to galaxy tab 7 plus...... :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] openmatrix:
Yeah that's why I'm also trying it;)

And I am quite pretty sure that he will bring the samsung premuim class multiwindow to our device......
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Xintorrim:
I'd really appreciate to test new zip files
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Droidlover123:
4.1.2 ???

Ok I thought you made zip for 4.2.2 .

So let me try on 4.1.2

And hope some good news this week!!! :beer::beer:;):cool:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
sorry about the confusion

guys i apologize...i didn't mean to put that there & i probably just confused everybody in the thread :silly:. Just to be clear...only the zip in post #127 is for 4.2.2...any other files u find here from me are for 4.1.2 (including the system ui in post #127 which i REALLY want someone to test for me)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Xintorrim:
Anyone tried the 4.2.2 zip?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Droidlover123:
Bootloop;)

And don't worry people devious said that he will probably have hands on his friend's tab 2 this Sunday and will focus on our device port

Be patient
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] simomare:
Hy guys, are there some news for the p31xx?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] unclefab:
deleted
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] nokiagye:
I am on 4.2.2 gt p3110 stock tell me exactly what you want and I upload on drop box

The minimode.jar and minimode.odex only exist on framework
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] unclefab:
You mention an odex file, that means that you are on an odexed rom and this will make things even more complicated. Multi windows work for sure with deodexed roms, but I'm not sure about odexed ones (see my link above, in the working multi windows grand thread there's a guy having trouble setting the mod on an odexed rom).

The fact you're on 4.2.2 doesn't help either, the files I have are for 4.1.2.

I got this mod working on two different devices and I think one has to install it in a strict order, as follows (bear in mind that it's for 4.1.2, but I think it should be the same for 4.2.2).

1-Install:

com.sec.android.app.multiwindow.xml,

com.sec.feature.minimode_tray.xml (if you already have this file, and most likely you have, skip this step),

com.sec.feature.multiwindow.tablet.xml,

com.sec.feature.multiwindow.toolkit.xml,

com.sec.feature.multiwindow.xml,

in the system/etc/permissions folder using any root browser, set the perms to rw, r, r. If you see an xml called something like multiwindows.phone delete it.

2-Install multiwindow.jar in the system/framework folder, and set the perms to rw, r, r. Do it with adb, or in recovery with either twrp or aroma file manager.

3-Reboot and see how it goes.

At this point you don't have multi windows yet, but if it boots it means that you are on the right track.

To get those files (cuz mine are for 4.1.2) do some search in the note 2 forum. Find a thread talking about working multi windows, and get your files from there.

Then what you need are modded android.policy.jar, services.jar, and all the framework files in the framework folder (THEDEVIOUS1 can do it for you, he knows the way since he did it for the tab plus. Or somebody else can do it, sorry but as for me I don't have time for now, I'm busy with other things). Install, reboot, you should have floating, resizable and minimizable multi windows.

Then and only then you install a modded system ui, in order to get the icons in your notification bar. You will have to play with dpi and resolution to get it working without force close, see the links in my previous post.

If you already have a systemui which the tab boots with, forget the above steps for now and try different dpi and resolution settings using xposed and appsettings (once more have a look at the link I posted in my previous post). But even in that case you need the above mentioned jars and xmls.

If nothing works out you can wait a bit, soon I'll update to 4.2.2 and I'll be able to give you the xmls and the multiwindow.jar.

One question:

do you have static multi windows working out of the box? I mean, with the stock rom completely unmodified?

Cuz it makes a big difference if you have it or not. If you have it all you need is a modified system ui, multiwindows.jar and the xmls (the above tutorial is meant for devices that don't have it).

For now, upload here your stock system ui, the modified system ui, I'd like to have a look.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] nokiagye:
Thanks for all i il wait your 4.2 files.. Yes out of the box i have this and with 4.1 and on 4.2... I was on deodex 4.2.2 but always I have bugs on deodex stock ROMs so I flash the stock..
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] nokiagye:
I can't understand something... We already have multi Window only we need more apps compatible with this..
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Narciso Neto:
this ain't multiwindow... it's miniapps, multiwindow let's you use 2 apps (not a mini version of it) at the same time!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] simomare:
Yeah, we have some miniapps but not the true multiwindows.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
guys i apologize...i got slammed with work this week and of course my friend forgot to bring his tab so i couldn't try anything but i have something for the 4.1.2 users and i need the following files from a 4.2.2 user (must be deodexed)...android.policy.jar, services.jar, framework2.jar

I made a long post explaining about settings and I asked some questions, but no answers so far.

I requested some files, that are not heavy, but nobody took five minutes to upload them.

No worries, it's up to you and I wish you good luck with multi windows, but as for me I'm out. I have more important things to do, like making a multi windows mod for 4.2.2 on my grand, than waiting for you guys...

Mmmmh, ok, let's try again. But guys, you have to be serious, I've spent hours setting the mod for my two devices and I'm still spending hours trying to improve it, not to mention the even more hours xperiacle and THEDEVIOUS1 have spent, so if you want to get a chance to have this mod working on your tab you'll have to be reactive and ready to test.

I put back the text I had erased, read it carefully, test and report, and please answer all the questions I ask at the end. I need to know cuz I don't own that tab.

Then please upload somewhere your stock systemui and your stock framework-res.apk (the big one), or if they have already been uploaded give me the link (sorry but I don't have time to search for it). For now I'll download the android.policy.jar attached above, the other files I don't need them right now but I know they are here for a later use.

[MENTION=2176838]THEDEVIOUS1[/MENTION]:

I've improved the grand's systemui, it's lighter and more stable now. I will try to do it for the tab plus as well cuz even if it's ok I still have too many fc for my taste, and I'll let you know.

Is your scripter for flashable zips ok now? If it's not just give me the files and I'll do it...
