Straight flash no other changes?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] THEDEVIOUS1:
i'm pretty sure u will need to add the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the bottom of your build prop...also u will need to install busybox and an alternative launcher (i use apex personally)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] frome901:
ok ill report back in a few minutes

Edit: Im on Padawan V4, with the Apex launcher, Busy box installed, added the line to the prop, i flashed the md3 test3 and after boot get the System UI has stopped. also i have no notification bar at the top of my home screen.

Ill flash the rom again and then test 3 just to be sure its not something left over from test 1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
Finally got around to flashing custom canadian and this mod after letting the ROM settle in. Works great. No fuss, no muss. Super cool. Thanks again guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] frome901:
Just realized i had a full stock via kies MD3 back up so After making the changes to the propand flashing Test3 it reboots fine but then i get System UI stopped , the process.com.android.phone has stop, plus the swype keyboard stopped.

Edit Oh its not Deodexed!!!

looks like im gonna have to try that MD1 if i wanna roll
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pTeronaut:
ptmr's stock deodexed rooted ROM that was lost when jediroms went AWOL can be found if you search for it on Google by the file name.

'SGH-I717UCMD3_4.1.2_Stock_Deodexed.zip'

(I won't post the link, as I am unsure on ptmr's stance on mirroring, even if he's lost control of the file)

Hint: It's on downloadandroidrom.com
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] frome901:
thanks for the tip So does MW work on this rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pTeronaut:
I haven't tried MW with it, as I was too busy setting up MD1 went I located the file.

I may try it tomorrow, as with the MD1 ROM, I get frequent service dropouts, unlike the MD3 AT&T ROM (Mine is an AT&T i717)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scariola:
The toggles are there, the app works to split the windows correctly, tested 2,3,4 view, all fine at stock DPI. I have not delved to far because....

Only cannot get into settings. Whats weird is if directed deeper into settings by an app, i can get under that first layer. So, long holding the wifi toggle works to get me into the connection screen, and everything works. Menu/settings or app settings opening to main screen causes settings FC.

This is just a quick fix away, I hope.

On the UCMD3 rom I posted here earlier, and flashed after first fresh boot using your TEST3.zip only

More people then are here watching currently definately are grateful for your time THEDEVIOUS1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
The modem has a bigger effect than you think. It can destroy a roms stability surprisingly

Can confirm with Scariola has said. Everything works fine in test 3 with the exception to getting into settings. I tried changing settings to different DPI's if that matters. However, this should be an easy fix right? Seeing as we had the same problem at one point in MD1?

EDIT: And as I have said already @THEDEVIOUS1 , I think I speak for everyone here that all of the work you have put in is greatly appreciated. Multiwindow was the only thing I ever really wanted out of this device, and you have already brought this to us. Whatever you decide to do this point on I support 100%

Should work in Padawan , I have it working on V3 and the differences between padawan v3 and v4 are minor

And I'm going to assume for anyone reading this that the md3 zip works for all md3 based ROMS since I've got it to work on every one I've flashed. I'll try Blackjelly next but should work there as well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] frome901:
I cant get to work properly. I get system UI and settings stopped
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
What exactly do you do? With test 3 all I needed to do was flash. nothing else. Then once I was up and running, open up the multi window app, go to navbar and select "hide", then go to multiwindow style and choose stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] frome901:
I restore a Back up that has Busybox and apex, Add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the build prop, i do a reboot, then go to recovery and flash test 3. once its up, i get the UI and Setting have stopped. I get to MW app and try all the changes i can, nothing bring the UI or setting back.

The multiwindows open but the grey bar doesnt fill the screen and i only get 3/4 of the screen when i drag it up or down

Thanks for helping with this...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
Do the steps I described. And I recommend a clean install, not a backup. and don't add the build prop line, I didn't need to do that for it to work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] frome901:
I dont know what im not doing but im gonna take a break get fresh dl and start over.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] THEDEVIOUS1:
wait...just we're clear u are saying that u in fact did NOT need to add that line? Could u please check your build prop and see it is already present please...also [MENTION=2153182]scariola[/MENTION] can i get a confirmation on this? Oh yeah...i'm assuming u guys no longer need to manually set the dpi of the flashbar using app settings?

be sure to read the comment above as well but the settings should be as simple as replacing the secsettings.apk as well as the secsettingsprovider.apk (as u may have already figured out by now) so if u could please upload both of those from your stock MD1 rom that would be awesome...it will be helpful if u test this theory first if u are still on the MD3 flash so it will save us all some time. Well...u guys have been about as dependendable and thorough of testers as they come so if u say that the last package works on MD3 then i must take your word for it but this begs the question...what exactly is happening that everyone else is having force close isssues besides u 2? At htis point any theories or explanations are accepted and i actually have one POSSIBLE reason myself...when we were working on the tab 2 10.1 version we kept having a flashbar force close only on some setups until someone discovered that xposed framwework needed to be installed (didnt even need any modules enabled...i have a theory as to why) in order for it to function properly. So if that were true in this case i would assume both of u guys have it on your system while the other users who are having issues dont. Like i said...this is just a guess because honeslty it didnt make much sense the first time we had this issue either.

attention all MD3 users: could u please indicate in your posts whether or not u have the xposed framework installed on your system or not...thx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
Yes. I did NOT need to add the line. The line qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 is at the bottom of the build prop by default, not qemu.hw.mainkeys=0.

And I have installed xposed each time I flashed test 3 just to change settings.apk dpi's to see if it would do anything. But like Scariola said settings ARE accessibile, just not through the main settings app...you have to set a nova/apex shortcut to a specific settings page or use long press on toggles so they take you to that specific setting screen

And no I didn't manually set the DPI of flashbarservice
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scariola:
No xposed, no adding build.prop line. Just flashed the test3 for MD3 and then manually replaced secsettings.apk and secsettingsprovider.apk and now settings open and works!! Using the stock MD1 files to replace over my MD3 setup.

Yes there is a build.prop line for qemu.hw.mainkeys=1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] THEDEVIOUS1:
this may be the issue then...see below for settings fix

Could u upload both of those secsettings files for me...thx in advance. Well...so much for my xposed theory but now i'm thinking it may be a simple conflict of adding mainkeys=0 line to the build prop with the mainkeys=1 line already being present

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scariola:
Only thing with the settings being replaced is the contextual differences between canadian and ATT version.

Display has pagebuddy on canadian. Not in ATT. ATT also has a few options in settings not present in the canadian version.

This is from MD1 Stock

What do I flash to get this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] clueless_stranger:
Hi, me again... I fanally got it working but now I'm wondering, in my notification center on the top next to the setting shortcut, there are only two buttons, one that looks like two windows, one in the front of the other and a quarter of a button of an image of a screen divided by two, but when I pull down my notification center in landscape mode, there are four full button, the first 2 the same as the ones in portrait mode and the 3 one with an image divided by three and the last one with an image of a screen divided by 4. Also, when I use the button of the screen divided by 4, I have to firstadd two apps, one on each side, then, I have to add two more apps on each side, overlapping the two other apps, then I have press the button of the window divided by 4 in landscape mode, then I can put it back onto portrait mode and have 4 apps on the screen. And when in the screen divided by 4, isn't there suppose to have four dividers instead of only 2?

Screenshots included
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] clueless_stranger:
Here they are...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
Flash a 4.1.2 touchwiz stock based deodexed ROM. Let it settle etc. as usual. Next flash your multi-window mod. If you are on an MD1 ROM like custom canadian use the V1MD1 mod posted earlier. If MD3 use the MD3 test 3 mod posted earlier. I've tried both and both work. Once flashed go to your apps and open the Floating MW control. Set as per above posts patiently waiting for the superuser prompts which you must grant. Once operational you may also need to turn on multi-window in display settings. If settings are fc'ing download SecSettings.apk and SecSettingsProvider.apk from above posts and replace your own changing permissions. Good luck.

Edit: Longpress hardware back key toggles multi-window.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mr_Edwards:
Did your settings freeze? I tried it and I couldn't access my settings from the drop down or menu it says settings has stopped blackstar v2

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Reenee:
I tried md3 on padawan and multiwindow is working. I also pushed the other two sec apk but i am getting settings crash, sometimes system ui and no notification on top. May be i am not coping the sec files properly.

How to exactly change permission after copying the sec files using es file explorer?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] THEDEVIOUS1:
i'm pretty sure u flashed an old package or we have another issue although its not major...see below

u probably placed the secsettings.apk in the wrong location...there should technically be 2 copies one in system/app (just a shortcut) and one in preload/symlink/system/app which is the real one and therefore the one that needs to be replaced (i'm sure u replaced the system copy which is why it wont work). How it works on my device is once i replace the actual version in preload (dont even need to touch the copy in system) and reboot the device the secsettings.apk in system should now match the real file located in preload...your permissions should be set to 0644 or "rw-r--r--". Try the zip below (which already contains the secsettings files) on a fresh flash of MD3 and u SHOULD be good to go...although i may need to create the symlink in the updater-script

^MD3 V1?

[MENTION=2153182]scariola[/MENTION]

[MENTION=4258821]_INSPIREed[/MENTION]

so we should be just about done here but a few quick questions...first i wanted to make sure that your secsettings.apk is in fact located in the preload folder (i know it is on the N7000)? Also...if u look at the screenshots [MENTION=1177212]Clues[/MENTION]less_stranger posted is it true that the multiwindow icons are cut off in portrait mode (they should NOT be)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
OK I'm about to flash MD3 onto padawan then I'll see if it works for me. I also have sec settings and provider in case of FC's.

I flashed I717MD1MultiWindowModV1.zip... was there a version 2 I missed? If yes, sorry...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
In flashed the file and booted up. System UI has stopped and I moved the SecSettings and all. Any help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andROIDS:
The way I got it to work was flashed the test 3 file and rebooted. Then I replaced the SecSettings.apk in the preload/symlink/system/app folder and set permissions. Then I replaced both the SecSettings.apk and the SecSettingsProvider.apk in the system/apps folder and set permissions. Then just rebooted and all worked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scariola:
I do have the preload folder where you said, except your latest MD3V1.zip doesn't touch that area or flash your secsettings.apk into system/app.

Your Secsettingsprovider.apk flashes to system app, and once i manually extracted the secsettings.apk from your latest zip, and pushed to system/app, settings open and work(albeit the Canadian version of settings) missing just a couple options from ATT's base)

Also I had deleted (accidentally) again the secsettings.apk at preload modified it with yours and it has no effect on settings not working. Also they did not mirror eachother, the one in preload and in system/app were completely different sizes. Copying to only one or the other has no effect, only the system/app version seems to matter.

Can someone upload there Secsettings.apk under preload/symlink/system/app

THNX It only restores under a odin flash, not rom flash.

And also the toggles window in notification like someone posted is correct. At 320 stock DPI it gets cut off in portrait. Although if you rotate landscape, you have all 4 buttons visible. It was such a small nuisance that I was more worried about the actual features working. It was the same way for MD1 as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] THEDEVIOUS1:
i just realized why it never touches preload...forgot to put the "mount" & "extract" commands in :silly:. Everyone please check this post back in a minute as i will edit it instead of creating a new one...thx. Just so u know...the way u guys are doing it u could simply delete the the copy in preload & it wouldnt have any effect but the fixed updater-script should take care of that & yes its true that the system/app version will "override" the preload version but they SHOULD in fact mirror each other (even better, if u view the secsettings in system/app in a stock rom with es file explorer u will notice a lil arrow at the bottom of the icon which means its a symlink/shortcut)...be right back

LINK REMOVED...SEE POST #162

With all of the above being said...i suggest a fresh flash because if u have changed the settings in system/app then u have most likely broken the symbolic link between the 2 and as stated the one in preload will no longer matter (after a reboot the files should be the same size...if not then the shortcut has been corrupted)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ProFresh4:
Just flash this straight up and no changing the settings apks?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] THEDEVIOUS1:
should NOT be needed but please test & report....thx

link removed again see post #162... i think i'm still drunk from this weekend :laugh:

^MD3 TEST V1B (as i stated earlier...the only thing i MAY need to do at this point is actually create the symlink within the updater script although that shouldnt be necessary)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] frome901:

In my Blackjelly there is only 2 tombstone files in preload. I placed the SecSettings.apk and SecSettingsprovider.apk in system/apps , set my permissions and was good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] THEDEVIOUS1:
This only complicates things because it seems some of the custom roms have already moved the file...which in all honesty samsung should never have placed a major system component in preload anyway

Did i ever tell u guys how much i HATE updater-scripts...i left out ONE stupid semi-colon and it broke the whole damn zip. :mad:

i promise to take my time from now on....at this point i'm tired of saying i'm sorry :o

ok, so...lets try this again :fingers-crossed:

^MD3 V1System

edit: so what i have done is create 2 versions of the MD3 mod (which will probably only cause more confusion)...if u are on a STOCK rom then u will need to flash the zip labeled "PRELOAD" but if u are on a custom rom then u will need to check where your ACTUAL secsettings.apk is located (apparently black jelly uses SYSTEM instead). Long story short...look in the "preload/symlink/system/app" folder and see if it contains the settings file. If it does NOT then u will need to flash the SYSTEM version but if it does of course u will need to flash the PRELOAD version (please bare in mind the note i added beside the PRELOAD package...this will require another change to the script if true)

I get FC of Systen UI, and Settings
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
I don't recall any stock/customized touchwiz deodexed JB ROMs that include the Preload folder. SecSettings.apk should be in the system/apps.

Edit: And to confirm with scariola, the different multiwindow selections do not fit across the screen in portrait view but are shown currectly in landscape view.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] THEDEVIOUS1:
i just added a separate "SYSTEM" version...everyone please re-read post #162 before flashing. As far as the multiwindow icons being cutoff it's not an issue...the 5-layout function was never meant for a device with such a small screen size (actually samsung even scrapped it on the note 10.1 before the official JB was released) and most users will only use the native split mode in 320 dpi anyway
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scariola:
From what I can tell the preload partition has no effect on settings. Only system app.

Flashed MD3V1PRELOAD and it did not flash into preload or system/app. Also settings main does not work.

Flashed MD3V1SYSTEM and it flashes to system and settings works.

All my tests have been the barebones stock roms with no added features. Also fresh wipe and flash with each new test.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] frome901:
I flashed this MD3 V1System over a fresh padawan V4 and i now have setting but only the "page buddy switch", and im still get the System UI fc, and dont have top notification window or the pull down. Titanium BU say my SystemUI is 4.1.2 N7000xxlt5?

So i then flashed the preload zip and not i have the multiwindow working. Still getting the systemUI fc

But im having fun..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ProFresh4:
Same here. Padwanv4 but i flashed system zip. Getting ui failed message and no notification bar. But multi window works flawless. I am sure the dev will have It figured out in due time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scariola:
Edit:... I will try testing with Padawan4 next.. Same system zip causes system ui FC on Padawanv4. Multi window works.

Latest System.zip works on custom blackjelly v2. Flashbar is not draggable until using built in floating mw control app and setting multi window style. Settings and everything works. Removes some custom features, nothing drastic though.

With both roms I also noticed it does not touch my preload partition. It is still there and the same after flashing different roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
I can confirm padawan v4 works with no system ui force closes. Flashed the system zip.
