Hi guys!

Would you like to watch Youtube, films, TV, on your Nexus 7 while browsing the internet or writing messages on Facebook?

This easy guide will show you how you can multitask with any app on your tablet, and as many windows as you like. Windows can be moved around and resized.

I've made some videos to show you what can be done on the Nexus 7! Here are the links:

New Video (28/01/2014)! Landscape Mode using Xblast Tools Appbar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6hmxMoPdyM&feature=youtu.be

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwvuRpJugaQ&feature=youtu.be

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GFS_39Rhro

So now, how can you do this?

You will need:

- Xposed Installer from here.

- Xhalo Floating Window from here.

- Portal (Floating Apps) [BETA] from here. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paranoid.halo&hl=en_GB

or Halo))) or XBlast Appbar or Bubble Launcher etc.

That's it!

How to set it all up:

1. Install Xposed Installer

- Download Xposed Installer

- Install Xposed Installer

- Go to Framework

- Click on Install/Update

- Reboot

2. Install Xhalo Floating Window

- Download Xhalo Floating Window

- Install Xhalo Floating Window

- Enable XHalo Floating Window in Xposed Installer (go to Modules and click on Xhalo Floating Window)

- Reboot

3. Install Portal (Floating Apps) [BETA]

or Halo))) or XBlast Appbar or Bubble Launcher etc.

That's it!

How to use:

1. Long press on the Portal halo.

2. When the pie appears, long press and add the apps you want to use in multiwindows

Once this is all set up, all you have to do is long press on the Portal halo and select the apps you want to use in multiwindows.

Happy multitasking!

Wow no body else tried this yet or comments? This is what I always wanted.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] torchwolfery:
working kinda

ok i can confirm everything does work but it doesnt work perfectly... everytime i tap the halo it opens a window but also takes me to settings too... ive tried a few things and while it does open windows.. its just a shame it always takes me out of what i am doing and takes me to main settings window too

update after some trial and error i can get it working nicely... it works with most things but didnt work for me with bsplayer, but did work well nice with cool reader and chrome
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] StrangerWeather:
Hi, are you sure you are long pressing on the halo? If you do that, it works perfectly, like on the video. ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] torchwolfery:
yes I'm sure... i decided to reinstall it again and second time it worked just fine... as i say it works nicely but its not for every app
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] StrangerWeather:
Strange, BS Player works for me no problem...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] torchwolfery:
lucky you... i got it working with mx but just nothing with bs... oh well
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] StrangerWeather:
Hey there! I've made another short video now that I am a bit more experienced at using multiple windows on the Nexus 7! Hope you like it!

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Pjstaab:
I can't wait for this to be a bit more stable.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] hasenbein1966:
This portal thingy is really, really ugly. Sorry guys. If I want Windows 95, then...

And I don't want this circle thingy floating around all the time.

Isn't there another, less obtrusive and better looking way to call and manage XHalo windows?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] nexus7lte:
Thanks for this. I am currently just using the Viral app to watch youtube in a pop out window while multi-tasking. I love the xposed mods but since some of them are hit or miss they dont always seem to work for me.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Rouz.:
I followed the guide but the windows is not movable for me. Am I doing something wrong?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] StrangerWeather:
Hi! In XHalo go to "Movable/Resizable" and enable it. Hope this helps!:D
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Rouz.:
It doesn't seem to make any difference. but thanks for the reply :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] StrangerWeather:
So, has this worked for anybody other than me? :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] hackel:
Is it possible to restore/unmaximize a regular full-screen app, and maximise a windowed app? Also, there really needs to be some kind of window chrome!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] psychedelicNerd:
I had the same issue and I eventually uninstalled the whole thing. It has awesome potential, but very limited usability right now and less option (Unless i totally didn't get how to get it to work to its full potential). Hopefully there would be updates to it to make it more easy to work with. A good option would be to have support for Layouts and workspaces (predefined list of apps loaded in set quadrants of the layout) all by loading a profile. That will really be a killer.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] StrangerWeather:
Unfortunately, Xposed does not work with 4.4 yet, so this guide will not work on Kit Kat. Hopefully soon!

PS: Thanks guys for "liking" my videos and subscribing. Very touched!;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] StrangerWeather:
Updated OP for Kit Kat. New Video!

Using Halo))) instead of portal. Works even better!:)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] spiral777:
Portal works very well on my droid Maxx and 2013 Nexus 7 :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zerohunk:
i am using portal and it works well but the problem is even if i open any app with nova launcher it opens in halo mode .. is there any other option ..i want those apps to open normally
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] StrangerWeather:
Hi, that's a bug with the latest version of xhalo floating windows, but we've told the developer and they will sort it out soon. You can use an older version in the meantime...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zerohunk:
thank you so much brother :) .. could u please gimme a link for the older version? edit: nvm got it :P
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] StrangerWeather:
Ok, here is the link anyway in case anybody else wants it: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47855013&postcount=884

It's a bit buggy too but these are all betas. It's great that the dev is updating the mod for Kit Kat!;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zerohunk:
hiii .. i loved it .. its very good ..everythings nice and works fine for a while but then suddenly all my apps start opening in halo mode .. are u facing the same prob too?? if not please let me know ur settings :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] StrangerWeather:
Hi! Yes, it's a known bug with the latest versions. The workaround for now is: when in halo, exit your apps with the back button only. That solves it. The dev is working on it. ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zerohunk:
so what app works best with it now? which one are you using? i dont really like having anything in my notification bar so i am not using Halo)))
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] StrangerWeather:
I am still using halo))) at the moment while waiting for appsi beta to be repaired. I love appsi and the beta version's got an option to open any app in halo but it's broken right now. The appsi dev is looking into it...

Here are some screenshots to show you how mine looks.

Alternatively, people have recommended Bubble Launcher and Slide Launcher. I'm not as keen but you might like them!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] thisguysayswht:
Thanks for the guide, working flawlessly for me after tinkering with the settings. Apps I open from nova launcher are still fullscreen. :)

Multi Window on the Nexus 7 2013!?

I have always wanted this on my Nexus 7 as i have it on my SGS3 and SGS4!

How is this working with the Nexus 7 2013 32GB model FLO running 4.4 rooted with TWRP recovery and MultiRom? I have the Stock Rom 4.4 Rooted. I rooted my N7 before the update came out for Android 4.4.2. I need to see if i can flash the updated stock ROM 4.4.2 on my Nexus 7.

Can anyone offer any advice that might save me some headaches? I would really appreciate it!

Thank you for getting on the N7 i know so many of are going to love this!

OmniRom vs Unofficial OmniRom...?

[MENTION=4503217]deathnotice01[/MENTION]

Hey thank you so much for your response! Is this the unofficial OmniRom page that you are talking about?

Link -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2482990

Do you happen to know if the official OmniRom from this page -> http://dl.omnirom.org/flo/ supports multiwindow?

So is the "unofficial" omnirom page on xda someone who has taken the "omnirom" android version and tweaked it? I am very new when it comes to this ROM and i would really like to know more about it.. Also one last question, do you recommend the the Nightlies or the link for "flo" on the unofficial omnirom thread. As for the nightlies i think it is 10-21-13 which would be KitKat right? So i could use PA-GAPPS for that ROM correct?

Thank you for your time brother,

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] gunfromsako:
This is the omnirom I use with multi window... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2533936 which is more up to date than the one posted above.

The nightly flo build from omnirom does not have mulit window implemented. I know because I flashed it ?

And yes pa gapps work fine for omni.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sabotagenl:
I'm using Halo))) and XhaloFloat on my N7 2013 with omnia rom (from official website), and it works pretty well. The only thing is that i can only get two or more floating screens if a normal app is open. Otherwise it will just switch from floating window to floating window. Might this be because i'm using Nova Laucher 2.3 beta?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] StrangerWeather:
Could be a bug with Xhalo FW. Perhaps ask on their forum? I haven't used it for a while so I'm not sure. ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Abel669:
I am using this mod and having no real problem s that I can see. However if I don't close an app down fully (force stop), I can have two instances of the app open ...full screen and overlay.... What launcher would be good to open in holo, because I am using stock 4.4 launcher at the minute and there is no option to open in holo,I have to open them via the status bar...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] StrangerWeather:
Hey there, perhaps give Bubble Launcher a try?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mtiberio:
Wow, someday, with enough futzing around, Android may be as powerful as WEBOS was 4 years ago... 8^))
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Abel669:
I downloaded it, got confused and uninstalled it.. Nice concept but not for me! I think I will stick to opening my apps via the status bar for now lol
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] thisguysayswht:
I use the app launcher in the xblast module, and it works great. Just swipe from a predefined area on the screen, and it will bring up a side launcher. Much nicer than using bubble launcher, or having you notification drawer cloged up with halo))). ;) Also I believe 4.4.2 breaks this module. I could not open more than 1 window at a time after updating. I flashed back to 4.4 160s, because once I got used to this module it was hard to use my tab without it. Works flawlessly again. :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] KyoouN:
Hello,

im using cleanrom with this. So halo and XHaloFloatingWindow .. It opens up apps for multi tasking as I wish, but I can just interact with the new opend window.. If i try to interact with the "older" one, that was there be4, it just opens that app again in full screen! What can I do about it?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] StrangerWeather:
Hi! I don't really know but you could try to ask the XHaloFloatingWindow thread here on XDA: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2419287

Good luck!

Enjoy! ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] lemene:
I'm using xmulti window 1.6 (xposed).

Works quite well but you need to have a full open window before opening the 2 windows in order to have both on display.

I'm opening window apps from the status bar (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paranoid.halo ) but I think xblast app bar should be better.

Keyboard only works for 1 app...

Xmulti window

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] James_Feltham:
DELETED
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] James_Feltham:
Okay so the app failed and I had to delete my previous post :D

So I'm using the Xblast app bar with the multi window xposed module and I can only open one floating window at a time.

When I open 1, it loads up fine. When I open another, it gets rid of the first one. When I close the second one, the first one comes back but I often find that it has 'doubled up' as shown in the screenshot.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Ameer Shimoga:
Yes same thing here.it has some problem in kitkat but it works great in jelly bean

Try unofficial omni rom by dre. Multiwindow works fine there.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] SonicJoe:

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] James_Feltham:
So I tried it and had no luck. The same bugs I experienced before are still happening :( Thanks for trying though :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] James_Feltham:
Okay I'll give it a go :)

EDIT: Okay that didn't work either, I still can't have more than 1 app on the screen which is the whole point in multiwindow :(

Is there any in particular settings I have to use? I'm using Xblast App Bar btw :)

I've installed the stock One_3.62.401.1_odexed.zip ROM on my phone. Now after I unlock the phone (swipe up) it shows me the green HTC logo and reboots about a minute later.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kudosmog:
Is there any way to get this phone to automatically connect as a media device when I plug it into a PC?

Also, is there an app or mod that can turn off my PIN lock when connected to trusted wifi networks or bluetooth devices?

I know there's bluetooth and wifi unlocker but it's not compatible with the note 3 as far as I know.

I know tasker can probably do it, but I just can't wrap my head around that app. None of the profiles/settings I make ever do anything.

Hi guys, I have sent my phone off for repair to HTC as i have had WI-FI issues basically since I bought the phone last year,the wi-fi disconnects at weaker areas,whereas the other phones i have tested work fine..I have only recently realised that thi was a manufacturing issue after reading reviews online.So I have decided to send the phone off for repair, a week later (today) I get a quotation from HTC of £187! Bear in mind I still have warranty on my phone..HTC initially did not state the reason why I have received the charge,they just claimed that the work required was caused by the damage that isn't covered by warranty. So i went onto HTC chat and spoke to someone called Wioleta,she eventually told me that I have installed "unauthorized software" on my phone. Now I PROMISE YOU guys, i have not done any tweaking on my phone for a long long time...before I did install a ROM rooted my phone etc, but i had to set everything to default settings as i have sent the phone off before because of a different issue ( coloured lines on my phone - if you guys remember), I have done the procedure correctly and HAVE NOT been charged by HTC for the repair,so it was done free...ever since the repair I have not done any modifications to my phone or downloaded any illegal software...So I would like to know why they said i have done this and is it possible that they could have done this?? I have attached a picture of what Wioleta has sent me on chat...I think there is a mistake somewhere because i am innocent...and I have already sent them a complaint about it, but I really need my phone back... please can somebody give me some advice on how to tackle these twats!

Your warranty is void the moment you unlock your bootloader. It does not reinitialize when you return to stock it remsins void. There is no fighting it. Htc is in the right.

[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Basically unlocking the bootloader breaks certain warranty. It's your word against theirs.......it's been unlocked before and now they throw it on faulty software (installed by the user) !

It's all about the Benjamin's baby :(
[HTC One X] Hadziano:
U dont think I'll get far?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
My opinion......proving legally that it's not your fault will probably cost you more then they charge you now......it's not fair i agree but proving this now is not easy
[HTC One X] Jump1ng:
I sent my old HOX back for wifi repair the other week I did put it back to totally stock ROM and recovery but left it unlocked and they never said anything at all about it fixed it in a day and then it was on the way back to me. Not sure if your in a different country than me but really a hardware problem and a well known one should be fixed regardless of what software changes you made to the phone.

Sorry if thats not much help but you could try and push them and say other people been fixed with unlocked bootloader by speaking to someone higher up.
[HTC One X] Hadziano:
I'm in UK mate.... :( really not fair
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
I have said the next thing before on a similar issue :

I am almost certain that all of this depends of the hands which the phone falls into, if it's somebody who is having an awesome day, had his coffee on time and had some fun time with the wife the evening before it might slip ....... but it also can be the opposite grumpy man and lives by the rules......if you very my point
[HTC One X] Jump1ng:
That sucks :( they never even asked anything about that just asked me to send it back in original state and then just fixed it, but at least it should give you a good ground to stand on saying that other users phones have been fixed with unlocked bootloaders.
[HTC One X] Hadziano:
What if..................... I LOCK the bootloader and send the phone back?!
[HTC One X] nikola016:
It's allready locked, originaly it says LOCKED, but if you unlock it will show UNLOCKED, after that if you lock it it will show RELOCKED like yours, so there is no way out just in (unlock) :)
[HTC One X] Hadziano:
so i'm basically screwed? why didnt they say anything before when i sent the phone off for a different reason? depends on who handles it i suppose..?
[HTC One X] nikola016:
Well man, i don't know, i only answered your question. It's sad that they blaim rooting and stuff for your wifi issue, i think that they changed your motherboard or maybe not, but it's their decision, so you probably can't do anything :( . Unlocking bootloader has nothing to do with wifi....but ****ing HTC.
[HTC One X] Hadziano:
zivio stari hvala na odgovor. I can't even pay them, their site has a glitch now! won't be touching HTC again, might as well go back to golden years n use a nokia 3210 without headaches and 7 day battery life :)
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
One time I also sent phone in because of WiFi and other issues...they said they replaced the WiFi module...but haha there isn't even a real module on the mainboard xD...so its the same as before but fixed then myself...my phone was also relocked and they didn't said anything...I wrote on the letter which goes also to them that WiFi is f#cked up and due to hardware issue from beginning it should be fixed with warranty..so stay on your right..say other ppl also had this issue from beginning that WiFi was bad and HTC should now that...and therefore you don't have to pay as this should be fixed under warranty ;)

[HTC One X] Hadziano:
I have already paid them £27 to get my phone back without repair..I just want my phone back
[HTC One X] land.apfel:
I've sent mine in for the same reason in August. First time they repaired it for free but they didn't fix the problem so I sent it in again and then I had the same problem you have now.

I've been talking to several people at HTC in the meanwhile. And after explaining them that this kind of problem can't be caused by a software modification they repaired it for free.

The reason why they wanted to charge me something was because some stupid worker has seen that the bootloader was relocked and because that was not stock he wanted to replace the mainboard.

In short:

You're screwed. If you have 2 months time to discuss with them, so it. They will probably eventually repair it if they feel annoyed by you.

If you need it back now: Good luck!

What I would do:

Grab a cheap PAYG phone, unlock it, use it while kindly asking HTC to fix your phone.
[HTC One X] humzaahmed155:
Fixing the Wi-Fi is fairly easy on this phone, pop the back housing off the phone, get a small piece of aluminium foil and tape the top and bottom of the foil to the gold antenna next to where the volume keys are on the plastic housing, here's a video to help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbmGNL1dsf0&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[HTC One X] Hadziano:
Hmm sounds complicated. How do you remove the case?
[HTC One X] humzaahmed155:
Push the bottom of the phone away from the screen, once that's unclipped use a thin object to work your way around the sides (guitar pick for example, you may need two) once the housing is unclipped from the phone slowly pull them apart. This needs to be done slowly as theres some adhesive hold long the middle of the back on, here's a video to show you what I mean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAr4WWbn9Hc&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[HTC One X] Hadziano:
thanks mate..will it work 100%? doesn't seem recommended to use foil inside a phone?
