This is

not

the complete halo. This is only the

popup

window

How to Launch in Floating Mode?

The module includes these SystemUI mods for your convenience:

1)

Long Press Notifications

: Adds a "Open in Halo" option when long pressing a notification

2)

Single Click Notifications

: Open your notifications directly in halo mode by single clicking

3)

StatusBar TaskBar

: Pin Apps into the notification panel for "quick launching"

(They are made for AOSP ROMs, so I cannot guarantee it will work for manufacture ROMs or custom ROMs.)

​

You can use apps that are created to launch apps in halo mode. Examples include Portal, Floatifications, Bubble Launcher, MultiWindowSidebar​

Can't get more than one window to open at the same time (side by side)?

Are you on Android 4.4.0 / Android 4.4.1 / Android 4.4.2 / Any OmniROM versions ?

You need this patch to fix the bug. The module will fail to work properly without it

(Why? Read the 4th Post under "ROMs with Issues")​

Usage Instructions

You will need a "helper" app to launch apps in floating mode.

I recommend MultiWindowSidebar for a Samsung Multiwindow Experience

There are more ways to use this module:

• Floating Notifications/Floatifications Guide by -Cupper-

• Another Guide by Exedion

Can't get more than one window to open at the same time (side by side)?

FAQ

Where's the HALO bubble like in ParanoidAndroid?

This is only the popup window. No bubble is included.See Instructions

Compatibility

Any ROM (ICS onwards)

There are some exceptions. Please see the ROMs with Issues below

ROMs with issues

All Kitkat ROMs

Some Kitkat ROMs prevent multiple windows from opening on the homescreen. This is ROM bug is present if your ROM does not contain the patch that was created on Jan 9, 2014.

Some ROMs (especially OmniROM hasn't included this fix until now Android 4.4.4)

Fix: Use this Xposed patch to fix this issue​

ROMs with OmniROM Multi-window

OmniROM uses the same flag 0x00002000 for multiwindow. Therefore, the 2 will conflict.

No fix yet.

(it is planned to have an option to use a different flag in future versions) ​

ROMs with ParanoidAndroid HALO

ParanoidAndroid uses the same flag 0x00002000 for HALO. Therefore, both the ROM's codes and this module's code will run at the same time. This might cause some lag and slow-downs, but should not impact the functionality.

Disable Halo in the settings if possible​

ROMs with "Floating window with multitasking"

The code is mostly based on those in XHaloFloatingWindow. Therefore, both the ROM's codes and this module's code will run at the same time. The native code will "win" and this module will appear non-functional.

No fix yet

(it is planned to have an option to use a different flag in future versions)​

Samsung TouchWiz ROMs

Pauses app behind regardless of setting & movable and resizable windows close on touch outside

There are problems with Samsung Stock ROMs due to MultiWindow Codes conflicting.

Possible Workarounds:

1)Disabling Multiwindow

(1) Manually Disable Samsung Multiwindow

(2) Flashable ZIPs to Disable Samsung Multiwindow

2) Change the transparency to 99%

I cannot find the halo bubble op.I already installed xposed framework and HALO ))).MY devices is Xperia j.android 4.1.2. Stock

your modded HALO is prase error in my xperia.so i use my modded HALo for 4.1.2 backported version.
[Xposed Framework Modules] zst123:
This is not the HALO bubble. This is the HALO Floating Window only. It is the one seen in the screen shots where apps open in a downnsized mode above your current app.

For HALO bubble, use Floating Notification which is compatible with this mod. You can then use "Launch apps in Halo window (Supported ROM's only)" in Settings of the Floating Notification app with this mod.

As for my HALO))) not working, I tried downloading it again and installing on my phone. It works for me. Maybe try redownloading and give more info on the error?

EDITED

i look into the Android Mainfest.xml of your HALO))) apk and your min sdk version is 17 and target sdk version is 18,since sdk version of 4.1.2 is 16.i think your Modded HALO))) apk will not work in 4.1.2 device.i think.
[Xposed Framework Modules] zst123:
oh so that's where the problem is. can you confirm that pressing the menu button and clicking on open Xposed installer from XHaloFloatingWindow opens it in floating mode? if it does, the mod is working and Floating Notifications from Play Store will be able to make use of it. mean while, I will re-edit the APK for my modded HALO)))

Yea. Still looking into facebook and some other large apps.

It does not dim? It can be changed from settings if it does not dim.

or it Blackens to opaque? That means your ROM has a changed "fullscreen" field in "com.android.server.am.ActivityRecord". I'll look into the source codes and update my mod if so.

If you want to stay with 4.2 you can just flash the old touch driver.. But if you wanna move to 4.3, PA is stable, Psx, vanir nightlies (found in the atom thread), and also cm 10.2 Roms are fine.. Just look around in the original Dev and android Dev section and see which ones you prefer..

Personally I'm running vanir nightlies+neo kernel.. Vanir is really smooth..

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synt3k:
After playing around with tons of Sense, AOSP/CM-based, and Google Edition ROMs, I find they all have things I like, but haven't found my "dream ROM" just yet.. Carbon is probably the closest, but the 4.3 nightlies are way too buggy, and they are having problems with their M7 builds lately..

Regardless, I think the 4.3 Google Edition ROMs are the most stable, and would be the perfect base if I could just get these mods integrated into it, if it is even possible..

Better Battery icons, like Brick or Speedometer

HALO

MIUI 1-px battery bar on the top pixel of the display

Full APM (Advanced Power Menu), with Reboot into Recovery & Bootloader

CyanogenMod 10.2 SMS app with Emoji Support

More statusbar toggles, and the ability to select which ones I want

IR-blaster support

I know I am basically describing Carbon, but I'm afraid it's going to be a while before they iron out the bugs.. And even on the 4.2.2 builds of Carbon, AOSP, and CM, the audio was always much lower then Sense or GE based ROMs with Beats enabled. I always thought Beats was BS, but the difference in audio on Sense/GE and other ROMs on my M7UL is incredible.

I don't mind installing each thing as a separate mod, but I am not a big fan of Xposed, so I'd prefer to avoid it if possible.

I guess the main mods would be the battery icons, and a full APM. Is there a list somewhere of all the GE 4.3 mods available?

Thanks, and sorry for the wall-o-text!

Hey guys..

As the title says I unlocked (and rooted) my Verizon Galaxy Note 2, and I am now on the T Mobile service. I used the app called hiapn global and it worked great. But the problem is I'm only getting edge signal and I know H+ is all around. Now I know that I can't use LTE anymore because I'm not on Verizon's network. I know that there's different frequencies in the phones operations but I'm trying to find a way to get a better connection because I know people around me having a great connection on their normal t mobile phones

Any ideas or suggestions?

[General Questions and Answers] grifeNex:
Hi, I'm new here and have searched many threads regarding buying used Google phones specifically from Google Play and have not found a solution.

My question is that is it safe to buy a used phone (GSM Galaxy Nexus for example) that was obtained from Google Play store?

I have purchased a Galaxy nexus with the model number GT-I9250TSGGEN and have found that the IMEI # is not blacklisted currently.

Seeing as how all purchases from the Google Play store has to be paid all in full before being shipped,

is it safe to assume that these phones being sold as 2nd hand wont get blacklisted in the future?

I maybe wrong on the Galaxy Nexus GT-I9250TSGGEN is the one from Google, someone please help me verify if this is correct?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] melemel:
I'm running ViperXL 3.2.8 and I'm sure the rom has nothing to do with my battery draining really fast. For instance I charged my phone last night to 100% but after doing a road trip today, it literally drained down to 14% before I shut it off. My problem is I live in a rural area and when I travel through the curvy roads, my phone loses the signal. Is there a way for me to turn off something for it not to try to re-connect to a signal when I know it will not find a signal. I think airplane mode will work but I am not sure, can anyone suggest something for me. At home I can always use my wifi to get a signal but will that drain my battery?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
You can try just turning mobile data off, that should conserve battery. You can even have a toggle within the quick settings so you can quickly toggle it on and off within the pull down menu
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jacobas92:
I'm in the same boat as you lol. 15 minutes out from any direction with no signal. Airplane mode works perfectly for me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] melemel:
Extreme battery loss

Thanks for the info. My next question is probably a dumb question but since I'm a noob I might as well try it. I know that Elemental X and Bulletproof can improve battery life, is there anything out there that can improve signal strength or does it not exist? Which of the 2 kernels would you recommend, I know Elemental X needs to have Hboot off to install.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Kernels will not improve signal. Only radio firmware can and there's no set best radio either. Its reliant on carrier, location and hardware.

You can flash different radios and check signal levels and data speeds until you find the best one.

I believe S-off is required to flash radios.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I believe you can flash radios whole s-on as long as your hboot is <1.14.

I still keep the data on, my "fix" is to turn off autosync (toggle on the screen) to turn it back on at home on wifi. This way I can still use mobile data for Skype or kik messenger.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Turning off autosync won't fix his problem though, the problem is that in a low/no signal area the radio is working too hard to connect and therefore draining battery.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] melemel:
Well I went ahead and installed ElementalX and I see a big improvement in performance and battery life from it. It did improve the signal a bit and it does work better at my home. On the curvy roads I just turn off the data because I might as well conserve the battery than to have it trying to connect to a signal that is not there, thus draining my battery.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] melemel:
Have you worked with any radios that you would recommend to me? By the way, I installed ElementalX on my phone (with s-off) and the overall improvement and performance of the phone is great. I also noticed longer battery life.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
A radio that works well for one user won't necessarily work well for another user. It all depends on where you are among other factors. The best thing to do is flash a few radios, note their signal strength (not the bars, the actual strength displayed in settings/about phone/network) and performance, and settle with the best one.
