What is your dpi Cap?

If its less than 320, then the sidebar will not have that edit button. Use Xposed app settings to change the DPI of flashbar service to 320, then reboot. That way you just change the sidebar DPI and not your phone dpi. The edit button shows up then. And I recommend this xposed module only for all app compatibiltiy. The samsung multiwindow manager will sometimes makes apps act funky or force close or not work at all correctly. The xposed module has not let me down yet and if you get weird activity on it, it is probably user error :P

lol

EDIT: THE XPOSED ALL APP MODULE I LINKED RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE TO USE. THATS JSUT MY 2 CENTS :)

and [MENTION=2176838]THEDEVIOUS1[/MENTION] I promise to test what youve been wanting me to tonight lol. Work has been ass kicking but I'm off tomorrow :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] THEDEVIOUS1:
if u are having issues with the app then it may be the patch which does NOT need to be applied (it has in fact been known to cause conflicts) but the problem with the module is that it USUALLY does NOT work with the bottom traybar which is why i have been asking for confirmation on this...speaking of the bottom traybar thats also the reason why the line must be edited in the build prop. Also...i will edit the first post to add the dpi instructions for the edit button
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
Scouts honor I PROMISE tonight bro lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
dpi was set to 213 per FW. have brought that back up. Profresh was kind enough to to already PM me the Xposed app manager. think I will uninstall Samsung version.

looking everything over.................rebooting

still no edit button and only 2 apps in tray? WTF????

im tired, im stressed, don't know wtf im doing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
Mind posting a screenshot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
I know there are at least 14 different ways to take screenie. right now with s-pen is only one I can think of and when I do that the tray disappears.

again, im tired and I thank you for your help, but I will have to have at it tomorrow my friend.

thank you all and goodnight party people. see you on the flip side

Here's a screenshot of mine running in tablet. Took a bit of fooling around.

And another.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
This is true I do believe that the patches do not need to be applied with the Samsung multiwindow app. That would get rid of instability. But the xposed mod does work in the bottom bar for all apps. :good:

Looking good brother :good:

btw you DID use that with the xposed all app mod, or was that the samsung multiwindow mod? Either or should work I just want to know which you used
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
I used xposed mw apps manager as the samsung one gave me issues with keyboard, powerbutton, etc. Mind you I had been playing with different settings in fw manager so it may have been a combination of things giving me the issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
Dpi set back to 240. Samsung manager removed. Xposed manager installed. All apps in manager checked, saved and rebooted. The patch has been applied. Whether I choose stock or float tray, its on side and no edit.

Keep trying to tweek, but no5hing seems to change.

okaly dokaly, got it handled.

through FW manager, set dpi back to 320 and edit button popped up in tray. then proceeded to move app over to tray. once moved, changed DPI back to 220. tray no longer has edit, but my apps are there now and work.

si, es bueno para yo.

bit more fine tuning in font size and screen arrangement. a formal thank you to INSPIRED and PROFRESH for suggested and needed files, THEDEVIOUS1 for all efforts on a device he doesn't even own but obviously possesses a lot of desire, and DEVELOPWEB for your interest in helping others.

I say thank you this way cause I will most likely need my remaining 5 for the day elsewhere as I am sure I will screw something else up here in a minute.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
First off. NO PATCH SHOULD HAVE BEEN APPLIED. Secondly, 320 dpi cap. not 240. If you like your phone at a lower dpi thats fine. (I run mine at 220), but that flashbar will not appear fully unless you change the flashbars dpi back to 320.( I think its called "com.sec.android.app.FlashbarService" in app manager). I advise a fresh wipe and reinstall, and only use the xposed multi manager. your problem may have been with the patch. the samsung multiwindow manager should work fine, but that patch business messes people up sometimes so I just run with xposed module. and when your in the floating multiwindow control app choose "stock"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Still cannot get the bottom bar to display. Line is changed in build.prop and flashbar service is set to 320. I do get the edit button in all dpi settings now. But still no bottom bar. What do I have to do to activate it?

Also I noticed in developweb's pics his windows show the pin, full window, and window with an x. How did you get those to appear?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimocal:
Have you tried long press and hold the side bar semi circle then drag and drop it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
I can drag the sidebar to all 4 sides but that is not the same thing as the bottom tray bar. Look at developweb's pics and you will see what I mean.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scariola:
That feature is in TABLET mode only. 160 DPI will get you there, be sure to have a launcher like APEX before setting changes in Floating MW Control App.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
If you dont like going as far as 160 dpi, it should work at 213 dpi as well. I've used it at that. You may need to edit a line in your build prop if you havent already. put qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 at the bottom of your build prop. if qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 is already present just change the 1 to 0.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
Been playing with this at every opportunity to get my head around this.

In Floating MW Control I changed dpi back to 320....sidebar works as expected.

Switched back to 177 (tablet) mini apps drawer-GONE.

Switch to 213 and choose tablet at phablet/tablet prompt. UI stops and no sidebar or mini apps tray.

Switched back from this to 177 (tablet) again...grrrr...and lo and behold my apps tray is back. I don't know why I'm not getting this going directly from 320 to 177.

You swipe up on the visible navbar where there is a tiny carot letting you know the tray is loaded to display your apps as in my pic. ...if you didn't already know. I only mention because until I saw it I had no idea what to look for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] _INSPIREed:
[MENTION=5209903]developweb[/MENTION] @Agoattamer take a look at my screens. they may help you make the needed adjustments. Developweb the difference between yours and mine is that I'm in phablet mode not tablet. I dont like my notifications at the bottom but still like the bottom bar.

Also note in my build prop the qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 line. That helps make this happen in phablet mode I believe. tablet mode may not need the build prop edit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
Thanks, I used the build.prop edit already , but I will try out phablet as I would rather have notifications at the top as well.

Edit: Going from working 177 to 213 phablet looking good....I think it's a keeper. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimocal:
What ROM are you running?

What option enables the Min/Max buttons?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
[MENTION=2153182]scariola[/MENTION] I have tried 160 and 177 many times and even checked that qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 was 0 and not 1 but the "carrot" never showed.

[MENTION=5209903]developweb[/MENTION] I was never at 213 before. I selected 213 and chose tablet like you suggested and low and behold there was the carrot. The mini apps tray worked. I have been playing with this for hours but have been unsuccessful till now. Also at 213 I had no errors at all. Both Apex and Touchwiz functioned correctly.

I then switched to 177 and it rebooted. Carrot and mini apps bar was present now. So I agree with you [MENTION=5209903]developweb[/MENTION] there is something strange happening here. Also now that the bottom bar is working so is touchwiz at 177 although it's homescreen is quite useless at this DPI. It always gave me the system UI error before.

Then switching to 220 and choosing tablet gave me the UI error after boot and neither Touchwiz nor Apex gave me a taskbar or worked correctly. System UI error returned shortly.

[MENTION=4258821]_INSPIREed[/MENTION] As I mentioned I chose "Tablet" for 213 instead of "Phablet". My notifications were at the top and not the bottom. And I have checked for qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 after every reboot. Most times it was correct. Sometimes it changed back to a "1" on it's own and I'm not sure why. But I would manually change it and reboot but it made no difference till now. Evidentally the UI order that you choose makes a difference. 213 Phablet and Tablet appeared to be identical on my Note.

You guys are the Greatest! Especially you [MENTION=2176838]THEDEVIOUS1[/MENTION]. Great to see all the progress and all the teamwork. :good:

Why is it that only when the mini apps bar is present are the floating apps moveable with the extra bar? Would be great to have this at 320DPI.

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

I was wondering the same thing too till now [MENTION=324201]kimocal[/MENTION]. Read my previous post and see if you can reproduce those buttons also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimocal:
Ok I got them to show when I changed the DPI to 160, 177, 213 Phablet w/ Nav Bar. Just as @scariola mentions above. And yes you can move the windows around when they are present.

Having the Nav Bar enabled

seems to be what is needed to have the buttons and window bars.

I'm using Nova Launcher and Black Jelly at the moment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LiMITZERO:
any idea how to deodexe the stockrom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Well you could use dsixda's Android Kitchen and do it yourself either replacing your odexed files or creating a complete deodexed ROM for yourself like I did. But if you have to ask it would be much easier for you to install a deodexed ROM that someone else has already put together. There are both the MD1(Canadian) and MD3(AT&T US) versions available on this forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lordbond:
I can't seem to get the multiwindow file to flash. I am using twrp 2.5. I have tried many times and it doesn't seem to work. No error message. It says it has installed fine but no flashbar service to change and no fw application to run. Any ideas?

I am using SGH-I717UCMD3_4.1.2_Stock_Deodexed.zip as my rom. Fresh flash from Beanstalk rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
Do you have root and busybox installed and have you made the build.prop change as well? The devil is generally in the details. A file exlorer like ES File explorer will help you out immencely when verifying installed files and pernissions as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lordbond:
Yes. I had to add the line to my build.prop file since it wasn't there. I installed busybox but not sure what it does. I am using Nova launcher. I am using TWRP to flash the multiwindow zip file. Is that the correct thing to use? I don't see any of the files installed anyplace.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
Busybox allows more linux commands to be executed by the apps that require these. (Basically). TWRP should work fine. If you use ES explorer to look at your zip you can see the files and where they are going to be/should have been installed so this can be easily verified. They should be installed correctly but if you have a stock rom, have you installed a superuser app to obtain root access? Sorry, its been a very long trying day, and I may be missing something. You could try reading the last few pages of the old thread to see if there is some insight there for you.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lordbond:
I confirmed that the files in the zip are not in the locations listed in my phone. I am able to edit the build.prop file so I should have the proper access. If I extracted the files into the folders they show in the zip would that work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lordbond:
Ok. I finally got the zip to install and I have the fw app on my phone. How do I get to the floating window screen to pick my applications?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
Hit the thanks button if you were helped at all and please read the threads. The answers are here already. Also helps if you answer the questions asked in order to help you. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lordbond:
I have read everything a few times. Don't remember reading anything about how to get the menu that pops up on the side to pick apps from. Not sure what questions that someone asked that I didn't answer. I have just got done flashing the Padawan rom and played around with it and now I have a tap on the left so I can choose apps to run and there are a couple more icons in the notification bar that I see on one of the screen shots that DEVIOUS1 posted but they run off the screen and I don't know what they do/are.

On the Padawan rom the xposed framework thing works differently from the op
