[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jsadler09:
Thanks for this awesome mod! I've got this working on my Galaxy Note II running Beans 21, stock kernel, Nova Prime launcher.

I've searched this thread and read through many pages and don't see this asked/answered, but when I have floating windows, and if the pin is gray (floating in the background), when I touch outside of the floating window (e.g. swipe to a different screen), the floating windows disappear. I'm new to this "tablet" experience, but is this expected?

If possible I'd like to be able to leave some windows floating in the background (gray pin) on different home screens, but if I swipe to a different screen, they disappear. I don't want to leave them active as then I can't see what I want behind them.

I have PIE enabled and can trigger the previous app command to bring them back, one at a time. Is there an easier way?

Thanks in advance for any info or guidance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Not sure I'll look into it today and let you know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
So when you touch your home page its trying to go behind it. When it realizes its trying to go behind your homepage it defaults at disappearing. Only way to fix that I can think of while you have an app up that has a Grey pin, don't touch your homepage, or make sure there is another app behind it so it can go to the background of that app. Sorry but for now that's all I've got.

If you have to touch your homepage, turn the pin green first, then after turn it Grey again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Don't mean to rush but can you make the changes that I PM'd you about this morning sometime soon please [MENTION=2585040]Ohh_Trenton[/MENTION]. Thank you very much in advance

Our Jedi ROM comes with xposed installer as well. However I can still install another xposed installer if I need to.

In fact it's the only way to update xposed.

minmizing window

Hi. I was wondering if you have tried to incorporate the minimize window feature into this modification. Perhaps it is as simple as adding a permissions file. If so I can provide it for you to try. Note, in the screen shot, if you press the horizontal bar at the top of the window it minimizes it into a small rectangle that you can later open. If you do this with the pin green it will survive changing screens.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
I'm pretty sure it would take a smali hack or a specialized xposed module to make this work. A quick peek makes me think the ENABLED_MINIMIZED_BUTTON:Z variable in com\android\internal\policy\impl\multiwindow\MultiPhoneWindowEvent.smali in /system/framework/android.policy.jar needs to be set to 0x1 (true) vs. 0x0 (false), and there doesn't seem to be a way to alter how this flag is set outside of forcibly smali-hacking it in or getting an xposed mod that forces that boolean to read as true. Dunno if that helps all that much, but there it is :)

I might add that using these mods with MultiWindow Manager (version 1.2.7 -I couldn't get the updated one to work) and its pro version allows for multiple instances of some apps.

Great mod, thank you one question. . Since doing this I can no longer long press the home button to bring up recent apps, if I dissable the module it comes back but when I re enable the module to change the dpi I can no longer use it. . I'm sure I need to adjust size of that part of the system but not sure what I should try. . Any ideas. ..

[MENTION=4041997]dwitherell[/MENTION] what kernel are you using?

Any special reason?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrysrhodes:
What is the edit to android.policy.jar?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Just one less variable to have to worry about in the tireless quest of bug hunting. Also - I personally don't have any major need for anything beyond what stock offers, so it works out. I'm not always on the stock kernel to be fair, just often.

There's a flag that needs to be set - it's the ENABLED_MINIMIZED_BUTTON:Z variable in com\android\internal\policy\impl\multiwindow\Multi PhoneWindowEvent.smali in /system/framework/android.policy.jar -it needs to be set to 0x1 (true) vs. 0x0 (false). It may exist elsewhere but that's one spot I noticed it anyway :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mscion:
Yes that's one character. Ficionles said two so maybe it appears somewhere else unless it is an additional change...

I just thought I'd like to compliment the OP for this thread because he tells you how to do things to get floating windows to work. At least way I am learning something and not just flashing a file (which is ok in itself but I prefer the former).

Which leads me to the following question...

I've just got the GN3 rooted with deodexed version. Any thoughts on trying this approach to get floating windows on GN3? Currently you can get floating apps using the pen app manager, but to me this is awkward because you have to start it up using the pen. Better to start a floating app though a side launcher or short cut.

Might be off topic but can we manage to have ParanoidAndroid like status bar at the bottom of screen using Xposed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Not sure but if you go to the first link in the OP (xposed installer page).

In his OP there's a link to an index that has a huge selection of modules.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Fictionles:
I just modified that one file with that line, as well as ENABLED_ACTION_BAR_DOUBLE_TAPPING:Z. If you've ever used the Trans-Nebula ROM in the VZW forums, its exactly how that one is set up, and it has floating multi-windows as well, albiet using the tab 8 framework.

That's all the changes I did and it worked.

Thanks ALOT bro nice find. Keep it up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mscion:
Well, it looks like I stumbled on something that is probably too good to be true, but it appears like you can make floating windows on the Note 3 just using the latest versions of Xposed apk and Multiwindow manager. The trick is to make a short cut via multiwindow manager. I used the side launcher called Unity which allows you to make shortcuts. So in this case no need to change dpi or use app settings to make this work. Further, this does not depend on the pen launcher folks have been using to make floating windows on note 3. Also you can minimize the window and return to floating window.. Here is a link where I first describe it with links to the apps you need. Doubt this will work on note 2...

Like Having a New Phone!

A huge thanks to psycho for this thread. This is one of the best OP's I have seen yet. Well-written and so much information! This is working flawlessly on my SGH – T889 running Jedi X19 with SabreKernel 45.3. Curiously a long press on my home button still works for task manager.

One question though – I can no longer see all five of my shortcut buttons on my lock screen in portrait mode but they all show up in landscape. The icons are much smaller and more spread out. I'm wondering if there is a way to get them all to show up in portrait mode without changing the settings that are required to make this mod work. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
The only way I know how is to turn off the lock screen. It was bugging me too so I turned it off. It's annoying but ya win some lose some. Sorry. If I figure out a way I will post my findings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] steeveno:
Oh Well Indeed!

I can live with only the 3 shortcuts. I kind of expected that is was collateral damage. No worries mate.

And now to check out the guide on how to minimize...

Recent Apps

But if you want to download a separate app...My favorite is dock4droid available in the play store. It works great on our large screens, especially in portrait mode. It works by touching the side of the screen and then in the same motion you scroll through your recent apps to the one you are looking for.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MCSH:
Works great but...

Thanks for your awesome guide, I tried it, worked well. I can make any app floating now.

But there are a few problems.

First of all, lock screen pattern and face unlock and... are smaller. Also Widgets are smaller now, they look bad :( The power menu has changed, to something horrible.... (and many many many more)

Is there any way to fix these? Going to revert for now, but if there is a solution I will re do it.

(stock ROM, 4.1.2, touchwiz, GT-N7100)

This was awesome, thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Nope no fix. Sorry. None of the stuff you describe bothers me. I don't use a lock screen. I love what it did to the power menu, and I don't use widgets to save battery, plus I don't like widgets. Once again sorry for the inconvenience. Let's don't forget about the long press home button feature broken as well. Doesn't bother me though, I use pie or something like it to access that feature

thanks for the guide and the links to all the apk.

it works great, but only problem is that it only works as long as u dont kill the application or go to homescreen.

once the app is closed, or you go to home screen and try to launch the app again from multi window,

I have to do the same setting over again, which is too painful for all the apps.

is there a way, we can make it permanent, so every time i launch from multiwindow, i get the floating window?
