Hi guys just sharing an opinion piece I wrote about the future of Android.

My current theory is that eventually Android could be replaced by Chrome OS, or merged and it could happen as soon as the next major update (5.0)

My article is here and I just wanted to get some input from you guys: my fellow Android Enthusiasts,
[Android General] N1XM1X:
doesn't sound all bad! interesting thoughts.. thanks

[Android General] PenguinxEnjoi:
Nice piece... And that first picture inspires me to make a Chrome Launcher/Chrome OS Theme.

Also, I think android should just natively support web apps that use HTML5 or Unity or whatever the Chrome Browser supports naively as if they were android apps except the big upgrade/catch is that it runs it natively like an app without an internet connection. So maybe android will just become the chrome browser but also runs android apps (which Google will call something else so that they aren't hanging on to the android name anymore and people will no longer call it android).

I also don't understand anything HTML or Java so maybe impossible :rolleyes:
[Android General] xergio24:
Android MAY be MERGED with Chrome OS... but it will NEVER be REPLACED by it.

Chrome OS is based on the cloud, and our phones not allways have an internet connection.
[Android General] Aerys:
Nope it will not be Chrome OS. Things will get merged eventually but Android will remain:good:

Hi guys,

This just ocurred to me. I was reading that the korean jb has multiwindow and that its hardware is very similar to our notes. Both use a snapdragon S3 and the adreno 220. Can it be posible to port? I was just trying to port multiwindow into my own and I was able to make flashbar appear, get the toggle in settings. When you open the first app it opens like normal, now the second you see that it has the little box to divide the screen, but it opens the second app in full. But you'll see a bar in the middle that is the divider for multiwindow. I don't know something im missing or something. Will post pics later So you can see what im talking about.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] D150shorty:
I'm drooling with anticipation. ..I hope you figure it out!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] serge_harle_z:
This is as far as I have. I have modified the following

SecSettings.apk to add the multiwindow option

android.policy.jar

services.jar (I saw multiwindow smali inside so I did not modify any of it)

Added:

FlashBarService.apk (Taken from the N7000)

multiwindow.jar

com.sec.android.app.multiwindow.xml

com.sec.feature.flashbar.xml

com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml

com.sec.feature.multiwindow.xml

I dont know if I'm missing other things to get it fully working. Im just learning.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] triavq:
do the 2 halves behave differently as if 2 instances of the same app is running?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] serge_harle_z:
No. It's like I opened the app in full, but I see the divider.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lildoggs:
Maybe the apps themselves are tide into the multi window app. Have you installed the browser from the Korean note and tried it like that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] serge_harle_z:
I haven't tried. Will try it when I get home in the evening.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Christogq:
Man this is gonna be awesome! Even if you don't succeed I'm just thankful that you're at least trying! Good luck and many thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
I believe lildoggs may be somewhere in the general direction. I've been reading threads from the n7000 and note 2 threads about modding apps to be capable with multiwindow, if they aren't already supported. So if you can install the browser and maybe messenger app from the korean note, and they work that would be great. If not maybe try this tutorial from this thread to modify a few apps yourself and see if it works.

also check out this multi window manager app from the playstore if indeed you did get it working to maybe mod an app. I'm not dev, but just throwing out some things I think may be of some use to you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] serge_harle_z:
I'm currently at work but will try them when I get home. Like I mentioned before from my research I see that we already have the smali files for multiwindow inside services.jar. Maybe we need the apps to be compatible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] osterizerblender:
Good luck man.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rquiett:
Some guys over on the Note2 have found that there is a module for exposed called all apps it looks like that allows any app to be used with the multi window.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scariola:
Can you confirm your flashing procedure for padawan4?

I flashed the mod after a full reboot initially which causes the system ui FC.

I tried instead to flash the system.zip directly after the padawan4 rom flash, without rebooting. NOW NO SYSTEM UI FC!! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Reenee:
I followed same procedure and flashed padawan then syestem zip right after rom. Everything seems to be working fine. No force close of any kind. Multi window works just fine.:beer::beer:

Thanks everyone involved for working hard on this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Possibly those with apps in the preload folder is the result of a previous ROM. Most likely they are from your stock odexed ROM. I can confirm that the latest version of CWM will not erase this folder/partition(whatever it actually is). I did a full wipe and even a system format using CWM before installing my deodexed MD1 ROM and it was still there. I manually deleted the contents of preload using Root Explorer and again I did a full wipe and system format and reinstalled my ROM. The preload folder was still present but there was nothing in it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] frome901:
I agree. I just started dirty flashing to see if i could get my notifications back and now i have all the settings and controls, im not sure of the order but i think it was the system fix-preload fix-padawan4. I can go 3 and 4 window but not 2. I wont be able to tell where i got my odin stock til i get morning.

Heres the name of the tar i used for odin stock i717uclf6-i717att_home.tar.md5 it took me to 4.0.4 then and OTA to whatever then Kies update to MD3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
[MENTION=2153182]scariola[/MENTION] so flashing at the same time helped you. That's great. I've always done that so I never thought to mention it, but I did mention it to [MENTION=5182261]ProFresh4[/MENTION] and he said it worked for him as well.

For anyone on Padawan having troubles, I flashed both the Padawan v4 and Md3 multiwindow system zip AT THE SAME TIME. Flash them both, aroma will install and when aroma finishes and asks you to reboot now, select NO, then twrp will install the multiwindowmd3system zip. I DID NOT flash Padawan, reboot, let settle, reboot into recovery, then flash the Multiwindow zip. This has been confirmed by scariola and profresh so give it a try..

Idk if it makes a difference that Padawan uses AROMA and that may be doing something with system ui FC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scariola:
So I do believe this is ready to have its own thread now that's its been figured how to use it on some of the fave custom roms here.

I have tested the lastest systemMD3 on blackjelly v2 and padawan4 as well as completely stock deodexed. Has worked on all 3 except...

Padawan4 requires you to flash the mod directly after rom flash. All other roms seems to take the mod fine after they were already setup.

I have also seen issues with TWRP after version 2.6.0.1. I use that version and all is ok. It still never touches the preload partition or sees it. Using built in wipe for all but sdcard and emmc.

Besides a couple options missing in settings, missing the advanced reboot menu, changing any of the custom roms default toggles to stockish... this is very acceptable.

With a new thread hopefully we will be able to fine tune some small issues and other such things.

This thread has had over 5,500 views since you started the helping process THEDEVIOUS1 !!

:) In less then 2 weeks. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ProFresh4:
Agreed. I just downloaded Goo Manager since I lost 4 way reboot cause I don't like using the button combo to get to recovery cause I wore out my buttons on my previous OG note.

This is most DEFINITELY ready for Primetime.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Thunder guy:
So I finally got the multi window working i could by no means get this to work on my stock rom so I switched over to my deodexed stock rom and I flashed the MD3 v1b and sucess my only problem is keyboard not appearing sometimes when I'm trying to type thanks thedevious1¡! and all of you guyss!! Can anyone help me fix it c:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
Its the Samsung keyboard. Depending on the app you have to turn your phone into landscape mode for it to show up. Either do that or find another keyboard. Im about to try the note 2 keyboard and see if it always shows up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] THEDEVIOUS1:
i wonder is this issue a simple matter of wiping both caches immediately before/after flashing the mod...it doesnt matter much however because the thread will be going up this evening so i'll leave all of those lil issues for u guys to sort out amongst yourselves. Speaking of which...as u guys may know i do not own the device myself so with that said, although i dont feel like u guys owe me anything for me work, there is a request that i would like to make...i only ask that u be as helpful and as patient with the other users who may have issues as i have been in getting this thing going for u guys. This i really aimed at [MENTION=2153182]scariola[/MENTION] & [MENTION=4258821]_INSPIREed[/MENTION] in particular...I wont be able to constantly watch the thread or be of much help with some of the more minor issues (i'm sure there will probably need to be more apps swapped than just the settings.apk for example) so if u will check in and assist your fellow I717 owners the same way that u have in this thread that would be great. My last real question (which i assume [MENTION=4436095]captemo[/MENTION] was about to ask) is...where do i place the thread? The one for every other device i've done was created in the theme/apps section although i know technically it's neither and i would like to put it in the spot that gets the most traffic although i'm not quite sure if it qualifies as development which i why i usually take the safe way out...so what say u guys?!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Reenee:
Ya...should be released as beta. Definately belongs to android development section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scariola:
I'd say android development will get the most traffic for sure. As far as putting it there, if you wrote [MOD] next to the title, all should be ok.

I think with all that has been accomplished the minor things in your thread should be no problem. It's the community of XDA. After all, I just wanted this feature, saw you willing to help us, so I had to help for the greater good.

Just keep an eye cause some of our DEVS here will probably like to integrate it into their updated roms, of course asking for your permissions. And again I must say, you worked miracles without the device!! Thanks +1000
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Thunder guy:
Previous to this I thought this mod was impossible, everyone said it was until you kick started this. I would say this is definitely the most important mod for this phone #milestone#
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
without the extensive quote from THEDEVIOUS1, this thread has been placed exactly where it should be, maybe we should make a completely new forum, "Masterful Development"?

as far as maintaining, you could not leave it in better hands than those of SCARIOLA, INSPIRED, and PROFRESH. I know there are others that will treat the thread with the respect it deserves. there are so many helpful folks around here. this is a great place. it keeps me off the streets and away from gangs. not that any gangs want a 48 year old.

thanks again to all that brought this to fruition. I don't have enough thanks to go around.

in the development thread, the instructions say to load the correct zip depending on

what firmware you have but it doesn't state which zip is for what firmware.

Everything is alright with this I have two problems though- first sometimes when I have multi window running and I hot the home button and access a diffrent app the windows will pop up into the two apps I minimize secondly

Its the same keyboard problem when two apps are open and I try to type the keyboard doesn't appear in portrait but in landscape can this be fixed thaanks :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] serge_harle_z:
Okay guys to upate what Im been doing. I tried the Korean Rom. Extracted the xml, jars ,etc. Modified our android.policy and services and still no go. Guess this goes way deeper into the roms framework. If only the developer who was able to activate it in the Korean Note made it for the i717. Oh well. Will try looking inside the framework jars to see any differences.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
Well Im glad your trying at least. Curious, where can I download the ROM from the korean note?. I want to dig a little in it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mizah Mar:
I've been following this thread in the epic 4g touch forums and they seem to be having the same issue. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2049516

They mentioned that even without modifying secsettings.apk, android.policy.jar, and services.jar, they were still able to have multiwindow pop up in settings menu and get the flashbar up, but when dragging the second app it does not divide.

I decided to give it a try and just pushed the xml files, flashbarservice.apk, and multiwindow.jar from this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024227. I have multiwindow in settings, the flashbar shows up and i can drag apps but it doesn't divide. :( Also, the flashbar and divider dont span across the entire screen. I'm assuming it's because i'm using the files for the s2?

Which korean rom did you try?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] serge_harle_z:
At first I was using that thread to try and make it working. But it was a no go. Like I mentioned before I think this goes way deeper into framework. When I was working on this I already modified a lot of smalis but still it will not divide. It gets me the same results. Right now I have given up trying to port it, I dont have a lot of time right now, too much work :(

Ok I was searching and I found this YouTube link where the user has a leaked jellybean version and a different kernel which he flashes. Then he long pressed the back key which activated the multi Window.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I did read the article and watched the video. I was mearly pointing out that the international version (which I believe I had mentioned) had that ability. I do also recognize that the specs of the international version is different from our own. The purpose of the post was to hopefully give someone who is more knowledgeable than I about Android could compare and contrast and maybe go "Oh! It was written like this and perhaps if I made this tweak here and add something here it will work" I personally don't have a machine new enough to decompile the code for both versions of jellybean nor do I have the experience to know what it is that I am looking at if I did I would do so. Again I pointed it out so hopefully it would spark an idea. Thank you for the constructive input and suggestion

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] THEDEVIOUS1:
i had a user contact me concerning multiwindow so i thought i would try to help u guys out...i'm not sure if u know who i am but i've enabled multiwindow on the Tab Plus, 7.7, & Tab 2, as well as the 5 -layout version (the one which i will attempt here...the superior mod in my opinion) on the note 8 & the grand. i have put together a quick test zip but i'm sure this will take a lot more work to get this thing going...all i ask is that u guys be patient as we go through the various steps. So with that said...i'll attach he zip below with instructions that need to be read carefully. This first attempt is to simply see if the system will boot and function properly with an altered systemui as well place the necessary permissions files in place...so here we go

I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE...PLEASE BE SURE TO BACKUP BEFORE YOU BEGIN!

ALSO...PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT I DO NOT OWN THE I717 SO I WILL BE DEPENDING UPON USERS FOR TESTING AND ACCURATE FEEDBACK

install instructions (i'm not sure if this zip has proper permissions set so the files MAY need to be installed manually using TWRP or AROMA)

1. you MUST be on a DEOEXED 4.1.2 TOUCHWIZ BASED rom preferably pure stock (can anyone tell me if u guys have a stock 4.2.2 out?)

2. install busybox if it's not already

3. install an alternative launcher (i use apex personally)

4. add the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the bottom of your build prop (i suggest lowering the dpi to between 160-213 while you're there)

5. flash the test zip below through recovery (please keep in mind that the files MAY need to be manually copied with proper permissions using TWRP or AROMA)

View attachment I717MultiWindowTest1.zip

Whats next...well after u guys confirm that the device will in fact boot and all functions are still working including the now visible miniapps bar we will proceed to the next step which will be finding the proper combination of android.policy.jar, services.jar, multiwindow.jar that will be needed to complete the mod. Speaking of which...can someone PLEASE upload the mentioned files from a STOCK rom as well their framework-res.apk & systemui.apk

[MENTION=1252112]serge_harle_z[/MENTION] just so u know...there is also a folder in the framework2.jar with one multiwindow fle included in it but i never had to alter that when i originally got the mod working on my P6200. There are at least 2 different types of multiwindow code contained within the systemui &android.policy (note 2 & gs3 have the same code while note 8, note 1, & note 10.1 use the other type)...also there are 2 different ways to activate it with one being the flashbar method u tried (which is more of a gamble of trying to find the proper combination that works) and the other is the traybar method which changes the miniapps bar at the bottom of the device into a multiwindow launcher (this is a more sure fire way of getting the mod going but requires combing through thousands of lines code to change ids...if this first attempt fails i will create a systemui specifically for the i717 and we can proceed from there )
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] serge_harle_z:
Thanks man. Awesome. Will try it out tonight and let you know.

Update:

Here you go: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9fyzinDWpgET1BLclI4UFVqdEE/edit?usp=sharing

This link contains the stock android.policy.jar (has 4 way reboot menu), services.jar, framework2.jar, framework-res.apk (With the S4 lockscreen mod only. It replaces a few png only) and SystemUI.apk (with more toogles added by me and no smali modding) Hope this helps.

Hi and thanks for taking time out to help this great community.

1. On a stock deodexed canadian JB 4.1.2 build here. Which included some extras that ATT left out. Also there is no 4.2.2 JB, we were lucky to get 4.1.2 about 4 months ago.

2.Busybox installed...

3.Apex installed...

4.Added build.prop line. Ok now I have 2 working sets of menu keys, lol.

5. Flashed zip with TWRP 2.6.0.1 and had to change permission manually for mostly all files in their respective places.

So this is where I was left afterwards...

I had these 4 nifty looking windows buttons on my notification area upon swipe down, pressing the buttons or varied windows logos produced nothing.

No long press back button mini app bar functionality, no changes in settings/display, but everything does boot up and work.

Will attach systemui and framework files for JB from Canadian a little later today.

Thanks for offering your help in this. Many people are pissed we got a reduced JB version after waiting.
