Tested the files. Multiwindow option is now visible. I get an error message,though.

Maybe it has something to do with DPI?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Droidlover123:
Exactly same as above devious bro

Flashbarservices force closes!!!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
try these

all we should have to do now is find one that works or worse case mod the one i gave u earlier...try the attched flashbars. They probably wont be the proper size (u may not even notice the tab until u look carefully...thats if these don't force close as well) but other than that they SHOULD work...just let me know. And yes...it could be the dpi which means u need to install xposed framework with app settings and then find the proper value but test these first. I may edit this post a few times and add other versions so please check back...but hopefully the first one will work ;)

^FIRST

I APOLOGIZE AGAIN GUYS BUT GOOD NEWS...I LEFT OUT A PERMISSIONS FILE :silly: SO ONCE U PLACE THIS U SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO! *fingers crossed*

ignore the above file until u place the xml, set permissions and reboot...if it still force closes try the other flashbar bu everything should be ok now

^FLASHBAR.XML (place in system/etc/permissions, set perms, & reboot)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Droidlover123:
Surprise!!!!!

Here we get it working!!!

See screenies

Problems

1.we can not launch more than app at same time(gives force closes)

2.no option to minimise

3. not every app can be launched via multi window...just samsung stock apps

4. We can not move apps around screen

5.position problem in landsxape mode
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Xintorrim:
Same here
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
AWESOME!!!

now.,..time to work out the issues

First try to set your dpi as low as possible (i prefer 134) that will allow the tab to still boot...also drag the apps from the bar instead of clicking

1. I'm assuming the old flashbar still force closed...if u added the file and changed the flashbar at the same time (i'm thinking thats what u probably did) then please try the original (from post #176) with added xml instead.

2. minimize shouldn't be an issue to add but if it works like ours then it's basically useless at this point anyway (may appear when u change dpi)

3. install "samsung multiwindow manager" from app store OR install xposed with multi window module

4. press the pin icon(it will turn green) then try to move/resize...this should work (if the icon is missing then may not appear until u change dpi)

5. please provide a screenshot of landscape issue
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Droidlover123:
What I did is

I placed files from post 176 that had permissions,multi window.jar,old flashbarservice.apk(which gave force close)

And then I placed new flashbarservice and it worked

And let me tell you that I didn't used your permissions file from post where you posted new flashbarservice , still it is working ;):beer:

And wait I will post landscape screen

And while changing from portrait to landscape or vice versa give processes,systemui,flashbar force closes
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
Please try with the original flashbar file and the new xml...i need to know if it still force closes to eliminate a few possibilities (this is probably whats causing most of the problems right now...most likely we will have to mod original or try app settings). I'm probabaly gonna get on your nerves with what seem to be pointless requests (just ask [MENTION=4703661]unclefab[/MENTION]...lol) but in the end i'm sure it will be worth it (also ask unclefab ;) ). A dpi change may the fix force closes but while we're at it try the systemui below...this may fix things, may break things, or may not even boot so be sure to backup before u begin (to be honest i dont think it will help much...i'm pretty sure our main focus should be on fixing the original flashbar). Also...i think i see why the pin icon is missing or isn't working (please let me know if it's completely missing) & it has been reported that minimize works wierd in 4.2.2 on other devices just so u know

View attachment SystemUI.apk

^Try this AFTER original flashbar (place in system/app, set perms & reboot...u will need TWRP or AROMA to replace this file since it is a major system component
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Droidlover123:
No old flashbarservice is not working for me....

And even on dpi change no change...see screen

And samsung multi window manager is not working....!!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
u must be rooted for samsung multi window manager to work and do NOT patch th flashbar when asked to do so...also u must reboot after adding apps and please note that u must use the edit button on the flashbar to add apps AFTER u have selceted them in the manager and rebooted. If it still doesn't work then install xposed frmework with multi window module...that should allow u to add other apps. i'm sorry but when i said change dpi i actually meant on the flashbar itself which means u would still need to install xposed...at this point u should go ahead and do so anyway along with the app settings 0.4 module which allows setting independent dpi & resolution (which actually may be the issue)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Droidlover123:
But there is no edit button on flashbar...see screenshot in previous posts
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
Everyone please check post #176....test the files & report!

oh...lol. :silly: Thats definitely not right so like i said....u may as well go ahead and install xposed because it seems like will need it either way. i got another flashbar i want u to try as soon as i get these files deodexed...if your tab will boot at 213 then try that and let me know what happens

again for others who missed the post...since its been bumped back a couple of pages

EVERYONE PLEASE CHECK POST #176....TEST THE FILES & REPORT!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] juninromualdo:
I do not know what I did wrong, but it appears the applications.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Droidlover123:
Tried xposed installer too!!

With that I get a edit button and I am able to move app to multi window drawer

But it fail to launch them and give force closer!!

And with which flashbar do I try 213 dpi??

Old or new one???
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
the old one but since u have xposed installed...add the module below and set flashbar to 213 dpi & resolution to 800 x 1024. Also...please add or leave the flashbar.xml i posted in place so we can eliminate that causing problems

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Droidlover123:

:o:confused::confused::confused::screwy:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
Try the android.policy.jar i attached in the post above...that SHOULD get the pin button working. Also...did u try to set the dpi & resolution of the flashbar by itself using the app settings module (most likely this is thje fix)? After that...swap the multiwindow.jar and see if u get different results as far as opening 2 apps & force closes
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Droidlover123:
Yes I tried...

No use

And what to place and what to not place have gone confusing so if possible make a new post containing all things with download links...
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
ready for V1?

lol...I modded the original flashbar so the multiwindow mod SHOULD be fully functional now but test & report back as usual. Hopefully THIS will be the magic combination...then we can try to get the pin button working (may already be...see below)

Guys i cant try nothing because i had to manually deodexed stock 4.2.2 ( i havnt found a good 4.2.2 stock based deodexed rom). Please test, i cant try nothing till this night or tomorrow

Sent from Mars using my XU
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] unclefab:
Cool, you are nearly there guys!! You see, that's what I said, the multiwindows function was already here, all what you needed was to find a way to trigger it.

As said THEDEVIOUS1 now you will have to go through a painful process of dpi and resolutios settings, you may want to check the following link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2319592&page=5

For now i can't do much, I have a problem with my phone that can't access recovery anymore and I have to fix it first, this 4.2.2 so called update is getting on my nerves..

Last night i deodexed my rom, but I didn't deodex flashbar cuz I don't use it, and I forgot that you may need it.

I'll do it later, for now I upload a 4.2.2 deodexed minimode.jar, this one should be ok for sure.

You will have to try the xmls selectively. There are 2 that are compulsory, ie com.sec.feature.multiwindow.xml and com.sec.android.app.minimode.xml, and of course the flash bar.xml as long as you want to use the flashbar. Then you have to try selectively with the other xmls like the multi windows tablet xml, the multi windows toolkit.xml etc., until you find the right one (s).

Once you have a suitable android.policy.jar upload it here and I'll mode it to have the minimize button and the doule tap function.

More later, now I have to rescue my own phone:(:eek:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
Everyone please check post #201....test the files & report!

Dont worry about deodexing the files because we have what we need...i'm not sure how many of the posts u read but we should be ready for V1 as soon as someone tests the modded flashbar (hopefully we wont need the crazy dpi settings with this version). Also the minimize and double tap were already enabled but now the pin function has been disabled in 4.2.2 :eek:...BUT i think i have already taken care of that too just waiting on a report back ;)

i don't want my post to get bumped back....so i'll just leave a friendly reminder here

EVERYONE PLEASE CHECK POST #201....TEST THE FILES & REPORT!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Droidlover123:
Force close....till now just one flashbar apk has worked

and new android.policy.jar giving bootloop!!!!

and please someone carry on testing i got to go now...i will be back tomorrow.....

i have rebooted mine tab more than 50 times today.............lol ...

;)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
ok, so...if this one doesn't work then we'll have to continue after i wake up. Just in case someone comes in the thread and isnt caught up yet...try the files in post #201 THEN try the flashbar attached below. I need another user to confirm that this in fact does NOT work...if so then we will will need to set the dpi & resolution of the flashbar file itself (anybody who has xposed with app settings module please start with 177/213 dpi and 800x1280 resolution....also may have to check "xlarge res")

Ok, guys...this thing is almost done BUT right now i need a tester who knows how to manually install files & use xposed framework and can follow my instructions to the LETTER. At this point..everyone should be using the files from post #201 with MAYBE the exception of trying the different flashbars but these are the ones i'm focused on. I don't want to spend all weekend working on this so if someone can help me finish up now then let me know...otherwise we all will have to wait until find a user who can follow my directions word for word.

special thanks to [MENTION=4728198]Droidlover123[/MENTION] for assisting me in getting this far...now can we please complete this?!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Narciso Neto:
I know how to install files in sysrem via root explorer (if it is what you mean) and I know how to use Xposed addons, :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] 西村大一:
i am also in. count on me
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] THEDEVIOUS1:
right now....using the files from post #201 i need u to install the xposed app settings 0.4 module (post #197) and set FlashBarService.apk to 213 dpi and 800x1280 resolution (u will need to try both with "xlarge res" checked and unchecked...also u will probably need to reboot after chamging both times). once done...we will swap out a few flashbars until we find one that functions properly
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] 西村大一:
ok. bootlooping. now i have to go to bed. sorry
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Xintorrim:
Neither way worked here. With either xlarge checked or unhecked flashbar gives fc

I'll have to install then again... :\

Just a moment, i'll do it :)

a logcat would be awesome right now but try this flashbar both with and without xposed app settings (u may need to try settings other than the ones i specified)... if this doesn't work then i have another mod or 2 to make for the night then i might have to call it quits until the morning

i wonder why your system is the only one freezing...make sure u are using 4.2.2 DEODEXED then go back and triple check your permissions especially on multiwindow.jar and flashbarservice.apk.

This goes for EVERYBODY...please make sure that u guys are have minimode-res.apk and minimode.jar present.

ok...how about we take a diffrent apprach for a minute. Be sure to backup your device before u begin because these files MAY make your tablet bootloop...it would probaby be good practice to make a copy of your original systemui somewhere so u can just copy it back instead of having to do a restore.

for right now...try the following WITHOUT any of the others files installed. In other words...replace only this file on a clean stock rom and see if it stll boots

:confused:

ATTENTION EVERYONE...all of us (yes including me...lol) are going to have to stop and read every word of every post from now on and make sure we do our best to respond to & detail EVERYTHING thats happening during these tests accurately.

ok...this is what u wrote in post #185

Problems

1.we can not launch more than app at same time(gives force closes) (this is a MAJOR issue because its the whole point of having multiwindow...so has this changed?!)

2.no option to minimise (now u say the working one had this option...WHEN did this change?!)

3. not every app can be launched via multi window...just samsung stock apps (shouldnt be an issue...use either xposed or samsung multiwindow manager)

4. We can not move apps around screen (shouldnt be an issue either...unless the pin icon is broken or missing but no one ever reported if the android.policy.jar fixed this either)

5.position problem in landscape mode (never received screen shot i requested)

Anyone else that comes into this thread...please use the files below and lets see if we can workout the above issues although i think number 1 is a problem with the code and a HUGE deal breaker which is why i moved on to trying the other thousand versions. Maybe someone else will have better results or can take the time to find the proper settings to make everything work using xposed app settings module but please be aware....u may need to set the build prop, android system, systemui, and flashbarservice all to SEPARATE values in order to get this fully functional although u shouldnt need to
