[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] nawkwan:
I'm interested in Pen Window Launcher but i want to know whether I'd be able to draw the window without the S-pen, e.g. using my finger.

If it doesn't, what benenfit does initiating/launching the Pen Window w/o using the s-pen have if you eventually have to draw it with a stylus?(atm, the pen window has to be drawn using a stylus) This is my only concern.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] stanley08:
Thanks alot mate! Fantastic Job here! :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Jeff.D:
very useful app, thanks a lot for the great job, I'm trying it on my N900 with Lidroid, works great.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kersh:
The last update is just amazing, thanks!

Just one more suggestion, could you add an option to hide the icon on status bar and the ongoing notification?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] and2:
That´s the point of the PWL. You dont have to draw a Window, you can start the PenWindow by hitting a little floating spot or via a sidebar or, or...you even can change the size of the PenWindow

---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

After the new great update I have no icon on the status bar if i just use GMD to start the PenWindow...

com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService

fantastic app but it kills repeatedly com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService at every launch....:crying:
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] xperiacle:
I assume you added the Pen Window Launcher app to the multiwindow bar and launched it from the multiwindow bar everytime. Pen Window Launcher does not have a user interface (except for the drawer icon, shortcut widget & settings) and can not be launched from the multiwindow bar. The multiwindow bar adds some parameters to apps that are launched from it to make them run in multiwindow mode, and as Pen Window Launcher has no user interface, it can not handle launch parameters that forces to run in multiwindow mode. I hope you understand what I mean. This is a limitation of the app - being unable to launch from the multiwindow bar, that is why I added shortcut widgets and the ongoing notification so you can launch it from there.

There is a setting that you can set to hide the ongoing notification but only applicable when the drawer icon action you choose is to open Pen Window directly but if you choose the floating icon, then the notification must remain because it runs as a service and if you hide it from the notification, there's a chance the service will be killed by the system.

You must have unchecked the "Show Ongoing Notification" option in the settings. To get the notification back, just tick that option again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] and2:
thx for your reply, i am aware of this option an have the hook at "Show Ongoing notification". i just would tell kersh that it is also possible to kill the launcher and have still the possibility to open it with gestures - great.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Eddiemc:
Pen Window launcher is great. Just purchased it and very happy. Using it in gmd sidebar, with hidden notification and hidden floating button. It would be great if it can be made to intercept the pen window button in the air command popup, perhaps through root.

Also please add a function to choose where in screen it appears. Atm it defaults to the center, it would be good to be able to choose a preferred corner as a starting point.

And please add a third option to show settings when touching the app drawer icon.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] yash1331:
I am a formal user of your app but after flashing tigra rom, pen window manager doesn't works on it. Can you please fix it for me :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] francop311:
This might be a bit off topic, but is there a way to convert the active (running) app into a pen window? I mean, lets say you are in facebook, but want to just put it in a "window mode" you can either press a button or a gesture to do so.

thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] and2:
...or make it floating.

And btw the apps are not in alphapetical order in the PenWindow even after hitting a>z (if this is the right option). Is this normal?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Boogeyman45:
This would be epic.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mscion:
Anyone notice the difference in rendering when using pen launcher based app (left) or via a short cut based launch of multiwindow manager for phone (right). Looks like the shading is different among other things. Wonder why...

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kersh:
What are the differences between this two shorcuts? To my eyes they do the same.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] commissionerg:
Same here. Iwas hoping i could make icons for pin window apps. That didn't work out though. The actual pen window is kind of cumbersome. It would be nice to be able to put some shortcuts inside of something like floating toucher.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] viniciusrsouza:
Great! Superb! Downloading both apps right now from Play Store!

I'm just waiting now for any app or mod that enables all apps to be used on multi windows! Can't find anything about this yet here. Until now there isn't anything that really works? =/
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] and2:
what about that or that
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] viniciusrsouza:
Thanks!

Those two methods are working without issues on Note 3? On Note II I used another Xposed method, but I thought it would not be totally compatible with Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] and2:
I tested both and could not find an issue. The first one is also [MENTION=4948919]xperiacle[/MENTION] and the second from the same dev of the Multiwindow Manager from the playstore just for the Note 3. I use the first one :cool:

Edit: you also can use Wanam

Video Behavior

Hi

Can anyone tell me how video apps behave when using this? Do they continue to play even when they are in the background?

Apps like Netflix, Hulu, Directv, or better yet SlingPlayer. Or do they stop playing when they lose focus?

Thanks in advance for the info!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mscion:
Hi. Just so it is clear, The apps I need to make short cuts that open as floating windows are multiwindow manager for phone, the pro version along with xposed. This also allows multiinstances of some apps.

I tried your suggestion and renamed file to com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml.bak and rebooted. Did not make a difference when launching from side bar. Although did not have a chance to play with dpi.

However, my main concern now is how to control the the dimensions of the window opened from shortcuts like is done by xperiacle pen launcher app.

EDIT: I changed density to 160, 200, 360 (Normal setting is 480) and it did not work. Indeed 200 froze my phone on t-mobile logo when booting up. Luckily I always back up before testing!

Works fine on my note 2 with note 3 features mod. Just some issue with resizing when you open a program that you can scroll down or up. When you scroll with air view system cant exactly say you are whether trying to scroll or resize the window. But its not something big. Thats the way s pen works nothing to do about it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jasonkhoo87:

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] commissionerg:
I have the same issue
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ianbbaa:
Works fine on S4.

Rooted 4,3 MJ7 on S4 - works fine after adding some needed files from NOTE 3. I only did not managed yet on my S4 to be able to launch the drawer via some button combo - long press back or home. (tried more Xposed modules)

Xperiacle please consider this option into your app. I mean i want to have clear notification panel and no floating icon to launch on screen :)

Anyway, great work. Hopefully you will release the AirCommand launcher as well and will work on S4 :) Hpefully NOTE8 will get 4.3. soon.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] xperiacle:
Multiwindow and Pen Window share the same code base so if you might have installed some mods that affect multiwindow, that may give a problem with Pen Window as well. Another is if you are using the Xposed Multiwindow Manager (phone), that module hooks into the methods of multiwindow code (which is also being used by Pen Window) and modifies how it works in some way (I am not sure how). So to test, try disabling the Xposed Multiwindow Manager module, reboot and try opening apps in Pen Window.

It is great that Pen Window works on S4 as well with some file porting/modding I suppose.

It may not be possible to invoke aircommand thru a third-party app because of permission issues but I think it is possible thru Xposed because I can hook into the right file and invoke it when requires. I am not sure though and I can't test until I get a Note 3 to test.

You can get rid of the notification in the app settings. Just choose Open Pen Window directly option in Drawer Icon Action setting and disable outgoing notification option.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Liquid Li0n:
thanks to you i'm starting to love my Note 3 even more.

install an easy app from the store and TA DAA I have every app possible in pen window.

maybe you can ask Wanam to have this option included in his xposed app aswell.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jasonkhoo87:
Previously im using Wanamxposed to add application to side multiwindows, and Pen Window Manager to add application to pen window.

It work find at 1st but dont know when it start not working. Im not installing any other mod for these side multiwindow.

Can this be fix?

My situation now, If i add another application using Pen Window Manager, it will force close flashbar service after boot. While, if im not adding the application, the side bar multiwindow still can work. Only force close when I tried to launch from Pen Window.

Any idea?

I have others.xml.bak and restoring it only cannot fix the problem. Do have another file to restore?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jasonkhoo87:
Does pen window manager touch other files than others.xml or features.xml?

I try boot to recovery and it did reset by CSC.

Pen Window still force close when i try to use it..
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] dangerousice:
I'm a little confused here, I set the apps I want shown and reboot and when I try to select the apps to use, I just get a list of ALL the apps I have installed. Normally I wouldn't mind but they aren't even in alphabetical order. I make sure to save when I'm editing the app list and do a full reboot but it still doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong or are other people having the same issue? I'm on Darthstalker rom, don't know if that is the problem? Thanks for great work by the way.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Dan_Aykroyd:
Hey xperia

I'd like to but the Pen Window Launcher from the Play Store, but from what I could gather from the screenshots it needs to be kept running all the time to work (there's an icon on the notification bar). I'd like to be able to run your app and automatically pop up the Samsung Pen Window screen so:

1) I won't be using extra memory having your app in memory all the time

2) I could map it to the double-home-click shortcut using Xposed and Wanam

If it's not possible, would you be kind to share the knowledge if there's a .apk there in the system that when called upon shows the Pen Window? The same as when clicking "Pen Window" on the circled Air Command menu?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] xPr0metheus:
Hey mate, the pen window launcher doesn't work under 4.4.2 leak...

Gesendet von meinem SM-N9005 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Dan_Aykroyd:
Hi Experia,

I finally bought the app to test it. it seems to be working OK, but I've found a problem when setting it as a shortcut. I'm on stock 4.3 and using Xposed and Wanam I defined the "double click on home button" action to open your Pen Launcher, but when double click the home button, I get a Force Close on your app and it doesn't run. If I manually run it from the app drawer/desktop/whatever, it runs OK.

I mainly bought it to map such hardware shortcut to your app and be able to open the Pen Window from anywhere. Would you please look into why it's crashing?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Snowman:
Works well on my Note 3 N900W8 MJ4 (4.3). Thanks Dev.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] :
this seems interesting :)

i assume you've made made some changes and made a shortcut for it :laugh:

not that simple but its great finding :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Dan_Aykroyd:
Another issue I detected. When I use PEN Window Manager, I see different apps that in Multi Window Manager. That might be OK because of each properties, but the thing is that some apps that are make compatible but their developers with Multi Window, don't show.

For example, Solid Explorer. I install it from the Play Store and automatically appears in the Multi Window afterwards. Now,, if I open your application, I don't see Solid Explorer in the list of possible choices for Multi Window apps. I've previously cleared my list to start fresh, but now I noticed this. So... what's the solution; how do I get Solid Explorer back into the Multi Window list? :confused:

Nvm, the native apps are not selectable in your Manager, so they couldn't be removed from the Multi Window menu
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ManlyMannyMan:
Big Fan of your work.

I must have had it working at one time as I have "Words with Friends" showing up in the pen window. :confused:

twitpic.com/ds6u7t

But then somewhere between DN3 ROM for my AT&T Note 2 and Xposed Modules: MW Manager [1.0b11}], and Wanam Xposed [2.6.2] and their respective settings I can no longer successfully start Pen Window Manager.

I'll get the "Loading Please wait." spinner for almost 30 seconds

twitpic.com/ds6s5x

and then it will FC(?) with a message saying "Unfortunately, Pen Window Manager has stopped."

twitpic.com/ds6s8l

At least a lot of the same functionality is included in the DN3 ROM from the MultiWindow Tray instead of the Pen Window Tray by either tapping instead of dragging an icon, or if dragged shake the icon until it becomes a smaller window.

twitpic.com/ds6tef twitpic.com/ds6tg4

But I'd still like to be able to edit the Pen Window Tray...

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Dan_Aykroyd:
Hi xperia! As you asked, this are my post summarized the problems I have with PEN Window Manager (PM) and PEN Launcher (PL). I'm running stock 4.3 on the Galaxy Note 3:

- PM: Even though I sort the apps with the "a -> z" button, they show all mixed up (unsorted) in the actual Pen Window

- PM: Even though I unselect some apps (like "Contacts") and they dissapear, after rebooting they keep showing up in the Pen Window. Those apps seem to be the default Samsung ones on the Pen Window; maybe that's why they can't be removed? If so, then they shouldn't be unselectable in your app. Or, they other way around; with your app MultiWindow Manager, I can deselect default apps in the flash bar and they actually dissapear. The same doesn't happen with Pen Window Manager

- PL: I use the Xposed Framework + Wanam to map the double click on HOME button to launch PEN Launcher. It should pop up the Pen Window, but instead, it gives me a Force Close and doesn't start. Every other app mapped to the double click on HOME button launches OK

Thanks

PS: Hope I'm clearer this time! :)
