[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEDEVIOUS1:
before installing those test zips (i should have suggested to try those first) u should restore your backup (specifically data) after trying that systemui or it may stay missing even if u replace it with the original one...i know it sounds weird but some piece of information about the navigation bar is saved in data so sometimes even if u put the working one back it will remain blank (it doesnt make sense but it has happened to me enough times during testing to cause a few headaches)
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perknite:
Cool. I'll try test two again. So, should I still include the new systemui while installing test 2, or leave the old one?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEDEVIOUS1:
the old one...thx for helping out and hopefully this will pay off

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

thx...if it's not too much trouble see if one of your users wants to come help me test. like i said earlier...the 10.1 should be easy to get going since it's already on 4.2.2
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perknite:
OK. With test 2 I get this. The status bar is there, and multiwindow shows up under display options. However, multiwindow is not in the status bar options. The only issue I experienced is the force close.

This happened when I unchecked then checked the multiwindow option.

Same exact thing happens with test 3.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEDEVIOUS1:
ok, that force close is usually a good sign believe it or not...do u have xposed framework installed? if not...please do so now (of course u know that u must click the installer icon then press install/update to truly install it). Just so u know...basically the problem now should just be finding a compatible flashbar but hopefully xposed will bypass the force close (had the same problem with the tab 2 which it fixed). U might want to make a backup up of the rom now so u can go right back to this point from your daily driver if u havent already...we should be almost there

We have the multiwindow bar! But, when trying to drag apps to half of the screen we get a force close.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEDEVIOUS1:
so was that after installing the xposed module or only the flashbar...do u even know what zip you're using right now? lol...i know this is probably getting a lil confusing but we're almost home. For right now...go back and install the flashbar that came with whatever zip u are using (test 2 or 3) while i go bake the files that match that last flashbar i gave u
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perknite:
LOL! Yeah, I managed to keep track. I'm using the files from test 3. I'll try the previous flashbar now.

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

OK. The previous flashbar (test 3) yielded force close. The newest flashbar gives us the multiwindow bar, but force closes when trying to drag to half-screen. This is without the xposed module.

Oh, and the previous results were with the xposed module enabled.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEDEVIOUS1:
Ok, cool...try the zip below (may have to manually install as usual). Its the same flashbar that works plus the files that actually match...please try the bar that works with xposed installed also if u havent already (u will need it to add apps anyway later). Also, install this other module below....i'm gonna have u try something after u report back with the new results. (but hopefully it wont even be neccessary)

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perknite:
OK. Test 4 is installed and the only apparent issue is dragging to halfscreen yields force close.

Even long-pressing the back button works (to make the bar appear and disappear).
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEDEVIOUS1:
Install xposed, then click the xposed installer icon and press install/update which actually installs it then enable the multiwindow module as well as the app settings module i just gave u in the last post...this module allows u to set the dpi/resolution for individual apps so what we're gonna do is adjust the settings of the flashbar and see what what happens. At this point i would have a daily driver backup as well as the test rom which should include the permissions files already in place, the partially working flashbar, xposed actually installed (not just the icon) long with the 2 modules i've given u so u will have a stable & quick starting point. so....from there i want u to click on the app settings icon then select the flashbar (com.sec.android.app.flashbar) from the list, press the off/on button (green means on) at the top left of the screen, set the dpi to 320 and the resolution to 800 x 1280 then press the save icon at the top right and press "yes" when it asks u if u would like to kill the app then go ahead and restart your tab just to be safe. The point of this is not only to try to get the bar to fill the entire screen but also see if we can prevent the force close but be warned u may have to change the numbers i gave u if it doesnt work with those settings and understand that this may not work at all. i'm gonna go fish for a few more flashbars to try but what i want u do is try the semi working flashbar with every combo of multiwindow.jar and android.policy.jar that i've given u thus far...also could u please upload your services.jar as well as framework2,jar? Oh yeah, i just thought about something ....does the tab 3 7" include the miniapps panel/arrow? (i'm gonna provide u with 2 files to swap just in case)

How's everyone doing? I see that there has been a pause in the thread.

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy tab 3 7.0 sm-t210r

I've installed the files in the zip 4 and the 2 xposed apk and also the above 2 files.

Open close bar is ok but when I drag apps on sidebar yields force close.

Please advice.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEDEVIOUS1:
since i dont actually own the device the testing process has taken a while and the user who was helping out has been busy...if u are willing to test, are familiar with manual installs (i'm assuming thats how u got to this point) and know a bit about xposed we MAY be able to finish this thing tonight or at least over the next few days if u are willing assist me. sorry...didnt read the rest of your post before i responded. stay tuned in and recheck this post because i may edit it a few times...i'm about to review the thread real quick but for the time being u can try the setting in post #59
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdndroid:
I have xposed framework installed and app settings 1.5 module installed as well :D

What file and what should I tweak in the app settings?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEDEVIOUS1:
lol...i edited my post after i reread yours. :silly:

usung app settings try changing the flashbar to 320 dpi, 800 x 1280 resolution, and check large res just in case then hit save and reboot...if we get lucky this may work but i think i have come up with a sure fire way to get the 5 layout version of the mod working but it will take a lil time to complete. Since we've made progress with this version might as well see if it will work too...i have a couple of systemui.apk files i want u to try as well after u report your results
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdndroid:
Resolution Set, it looks like this

Am ready to test the systemui.apk files

So I'll have to restore to previous working before copying the new files and editing permissions everytime?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEDEVIOUS1:
yeah...thats defintely ugly. lol... the most important question is does it still force close when dragging apps? just so we're clear...i have no way of knowing the exact numbers that need to be put into app settings (320 was a guess based off of the dpi of the device the file came from) so u may want to try a few different numbers such as 213 , 240, 160 which are the default dpi values of different devices. One of the system ui files is in post #38...i will attach another below but first a few questions. From the pics it looks like u guys have hardware buttons which i'm assuming means u dont have a navbar/softbuttons...if this is the case then u will need to add the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the bottom of your build.prop (which is what i forgot to tell the other guy) and u MAY(depending on force close or missing stausbar) need to change the dpi/resolution of both "systemui" & "android system" using app settings (although i can tell u exact settings...dpi will probably be between 160-213 & resolution will most likely always be 800 x 1280). one more thing...does the tab 3 have the mini apps panel/traybar like other samsung tablets?

forgot the other systemui

View attachment SystemUI.apk
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdndroid:
Looks better with with dpi 240, res 800 x 1280 for the flashbar

Yes, we have hardware keys and adding the line in build.prop gives a software navigation at the bottom of the screen, pressing the ^ sign gives miniapps tray (which wasnt there before), all the miniapps work fine except Calculator which gives force close (maybe samsung used another calculator nowadays), screen capture by pressing home and power buttons at the same time doesn't work anymore too.

Still give me force close when i try to drag the icons from the bar, tapping opens it though.

Now off to test the systemui.apk

Do I need to keep the line in the build.prop?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEDEVIOUS1:
yes...keep the line. I dont mean to have u all over the place but the systemui is actually another version of the mod (the best in my opinion) which uses the mini apps tray instead of the flashbar (which can actually be deleted once working). The 2 systemui files i have provided are the ones that work for 3 other tablets but i'm actually working on one specifically for your device in between posts...hopefully u will come back with some good news but otherwise i will try to finish while we're both online so u can test the tab 3 version

EDIT: This was surprisingly quick/easy....forget the other systemui files, install this and lets hope that i got it right the first time. Hopefully...u should now see the multiwindow icons when u press the minitray. If u combine this with the the android.policy.jar, multiwindow.jar and the permissions files from the test 4 zip then the mod may even be fully working now!

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdndroid:
Both

Added line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in build.prop

Test4.zip from post #57

1)

SystemUI.apk from post #65

- System UI force closed upon pressing the on screen navigation keys AND hardware navigation keys as well.

- Flash bar force closed upon dragging apps from bar to screen, pressing the apps do open them.

2)

SystemUI.apk from post #38

- Notification bar and bottom navigation bar disappeared

- System UI crashed without touching anything

- Flash bar force closed under same conditions as above

Restoring and trying one last time before heading to bed with the files in test4.zip and the build.prop line but just "copying" over the ones which is not in the Infamous Rom. Will report back shortly
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEDEVIOUS1:
i think we are good to go...please read the post above yours as i just finished the tab 3 specific systemui. Delete the flashbar file and forget the other 2 systemui files...install the one of above and cross your fingers bro!
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdndroid:
Just to clarify, which files do I need to copy over this time? Just finished restoring.

The systemui above and?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEDEVIOUS1:
everything from the test 4 zip EXCEPT the flasbar...man i hope this is it but worse case i think we will only need to find suitable android.policy and/or mnultiwindow.jars
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdndroid:
So I can omit the flashbar.xml in permissions too I presume? Let's take a look this time :D

system--app folder

1) SystemUI.apk (from post #67)

(All others from test4.zip)

system--etc--permissions folder

2) com.sec.android.app.multiwindow.xml

3) com.sec.feature.minimode_tray.xml

4) com.sec.feature.multiwindow.tablet.xml

5) com.sec.feature.multiwindow.toolkit.xml

6) com.sec.feature.multiwindow.xml

system--framework

7) android.policy.jar

8) multiwindow.jar

System UI stopped when I press the bottom navigation bar, let me try once more with the restored "stock Infamous systemUI" and the other 7 files from test4.zip

i.e. not replacing systemUI
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEDEVIOUS1:
i probably missed an id i need to change somewhere (i knew that was too easy)...if u feel like it please try again by installling and enabling the tabletui module then reboot (which should put u in tablet mode...if u are using the newest version of xposed u can download and install it from within the app itself) then replace the systemui with the one from above again (u could even try the exact opposite of what u just did i.e replacing ONLY the systemui). This will help me isolate what folder/smali the problem lies in....also u should wipe both caches as well to ensure it's a clean install. One more thing...make sure u install an alternative launcher (i personally use apex)
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdndroid:
Yes, puts us into tablet mode (which is the 4.0.2 launcher) see picture, with the "stock Infamous SystemUI" all the buttons on the nav bar seems to work fine, with the systemUI from above touching the onscreen navigation bar (bottom bar) gives "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped".

Also tablet mode covers the previous onscreen navigation bar completely. See screenshot

Well, it's getting late over here in Canada. I'll call this a night and let's continue this tomorrow, thanks for walking me through this, it was great fun!
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEDEVIOUS1:
I apprciate the asistance bro...i'll triple check the smali and see if i can find the issue as well as bake a few more versions. Whenever u wake up and read this try to open an app with the last systemui installed (obviously u cant touch the navbar...u may want to install a virtual nvigation/gesture app to maneuver the device but just for this test u could use app shortcuts on your homescreen i suppose) and see if u have the icon to enable floating mode (will only be a few apps available by default...download samsung multi window manager to enable more). Technically this function SHOULD at least be working now...u will need the other files from test 4 as well. Oh yeah...looking at the screenshot u posted it seems like the mini apps arrow is missing in tablet mode or am i mistaken?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdndroid:
Mini apps arrow ^ is indeed missing when tablet mode is on, should I install Samsung multi window manager from playstore?

As for "should at least be working" are you referring to having the mini apps opened and being able to be moved around the screen?

The files I've used are the stock SystemUI.apk (didn't overwrite and change) + the remaining files from test4.zip + editing the build.prop

I've seem to have the mini apps being able to be opened and moved around, but cannot edit the app list (my bad actually can drag the unwanted mini apps back into list and won't appear in mini app tray later), and it's always in "cascade view", seems like the "dual view" feature is not active, also cannot open more than one of the same app. (Please refer to screenshots) NOTE: S Planner is acting up, force closing when app opened normally or when trying to get into app maximizing mini app, so can only preview through mini app of S Planner

Landscape mode gives the down arrow to close mini app bar, actually works for portrait mode as well just that the down arrow is hidden between the dual view and cascade view buttons...

I have samsung multi window manager installed, but it doesn't help to manage the "miniapps" tool bar though, maybe because my rom is not a samsung rom?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetboss:
looks like you guys are making incrediable progress keep up the good work would love that multi window on my sm-t211
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEDEVIOUS1:
no...when i said should be working i'm talking about the systemui from 67 along with the other 7 files with the regular apps NOT the mini apps. In other words...reinstall everything plus the samsung multi window manager (it would probably be best to keep a backup of the test rom as well so u can restore back to the point u left off testing at) then open some regular apps from the shortcuts on your homescreen if u dont feel like going through the trouble of installing and configuring an app such as gmd getures etc (of course avoiding the navbar which is broken...stock samsung apps may force close so u can try the google apps i see on your homescreen such as gmail, play store or any added with the manager). The purpose of this is to see if u have the resize icon (top right for default apps...bottom left for those added by the manager) and to test whether it actually functions...even with the broken systemui u should be able to make the full screen apps go into windowed mode and be able to seize them by dragging on the bottom left corner. Also...your pin icon (thumbtack) in the top left corner should also work and i'm not sure if i enabled minimize or not in test 4 but it should work as well
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdndroid:
Maybe we need difference Android.policy and multiwindow files? As this one only activates mini apps, do I still need the xposed tablet ui module?

I've tried installing everything from scratch with the systemui file, the xposed tabletui module, the Samsung multiwindow manager from playstore, and the build.prop edit. System UI force closes on home button presses (both soft and hard keys) and there's no resizing for apps on the corners
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEDEVIOUS1:
Not really since the navigation bar still force closed when u touched it...the miniapps panel shouldnt even be accessible if thats the case

just to clarify...let me list steps

1. install samsung multiwindow manager and enable some apps

2. add some shortcuts to your home screen through launcher (please install somtheing OTHER than touch wiz home if u havent...I peresonally use apex)

3. install the broken systemui from post #67 as well as the other 7 files from the test 4 zip

4. attempt to open apps from shortcut (u could possibly use the few i already see on your homescreen but please be aware that the stock samsung apps ie splanner may force close) WITHOUT touching the navbar (actually u should be able to access the app drawer but of course u wont be able to go back without a gesture control app or virtual button app)

5. look for the "restore" icon (if u are familiar with windows terminology) in the top left hand or bottom right hand corner and press it...also if the apps go into window mode try pressing the pin icon to see if it will turn green and check the minimize function (if icon is even present)

edit...nevermind i see u edited your post above
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdndroid:
Done steps 1 to 4, using Apex launcher, enabled apps don't have the "restore down" icon anywhere, but samsung apps like handrite do, touching them does nothing.

Rotating screen with systemui from post #67 gives system ui force close too :D takes a lot of skill not to have it force close upon start up.

Please advice next steps to be taken.

BTW, I did not have the xposed tablet UI module installed this time. I did have the build.prop line added.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEDEVIOUS1:
Ok...I'm away from my system right now but just to let u know what's next I'm gonna bake some more android.policy and multiwindow.jar combos as well as triple check the systemui for errors

i found one obvious error...test this version and see if it force closes

View attachment SystemUI.apk (test this version first)

here's another file to try while i'm at it...if neither of these work we'll focus on the flashbar version for a while

View attachment SystemUI2.apk (remove the "2" before installing)
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEDEVIOUS1:
Ok...allow me to explain myself for u and anyone else who may be reading to further understand. The systemui method is not only a superior version of multiwindow in almost every way it's also the only real "guaranteed" method to get the mod going...the drawback back being that i have to check thousands of lines of code so the probability that i will miss a few is high especially when i attempt to take shortcuts. The flashbar method seems to be close to functioning but thats exactly the point where people have been stuck at for 100+ pages in other forums (epic 4g touch is a classic example) and truth be told is much more of a guessing game which is why i put it on the back burner for the time being. So with that said...i promise we will pick back up on the flashbar version soon as i make sure the systemui version is impossible to implement but again there is NO reason this shouldnt work. I have attached another copy below that i took my time to check against the original files & found 2 errors so hopefully this is the magic fix...if not i ask that u please be patient with me and we will get this thing done. If i havent told u yet then let me tell u now...i defintely appreciate the assistance so whenever u get your pc fixed i'll be ready :highfive:

EDIT: i see a few other people have been peeping out this post (this is for [MENTION=2744117]perknite[/MENTION] in particular since i forgot to tell u when u were testing :silly:) so in case u guys take a shot at this i would just like to note that u need to add the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the bottom of your build prop in order to get the navbar/soft buttons & mini apps tray to appear
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdndroid:
I've tried the last one seems not working, system you still force closes upon home and sometimes back button, as before the Samsung apps do have the "restore"-like icon in the corner, pressing gives nothing, long pressing shows dialogue description "restore to previous size" but still nothing yet.

Other enabled apps doesn't show icon nor scalable.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEDEVIOUS1:
remove the "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.xml" from "system/etc/permissions" and try again...we just had the same exact issue over in the advance forum and it seems that this file is causing is it. At this point...the icon should NOT work because we will still need to add the android.policy.jar file
