Hi,
I made a port of multi-window from note10.1 using some files and apps from the Galaxy Tab 2 forum to my note5.3 and just want to share some idea. My thread is here where you can see some screenshots taken from my note5.3. I have feeling that samsung is working on a possible multiwindow interface for 7.x tablets not just the 10.+ ones and the key could just be some multiwindow files from system/etc/permissions and perhaps swap some files from note10.1 to the Galaxy Tab 2. I dont have a tablet so I cant test my idea but wanted to share hoping someone might make good use of it.

This is an outstanding idea good sir, do you say this is working on your Note? I have the galaxy tab 2.0 7" I love the idea you have, would expand on the excellent jelly bean video player (resizable window) and would be an indispensible addition to android in general I believe.
Could it work on any large screen droid?

I do not have a Galaxy Tablet so I can't test and explore if it would work on the your tablet but I believe porting the right files from Note10.1 or Note1 or Note2 would enable multiwindows on your device. It is definely working in my Note1 and if you visit my thread you can see some screenshots of what I am talking about. I think this is exclusive to samsung made phones and tablets only.
Multi window for the Tab 2 would be awesome. Are there new news for it?
can the same files be run on p3100 rooted 404 official ?
Okay nice I can try this in my tab but you need to tall me what to do?? Secondly will the cwm flash file will work on tab 2??

I was wondering if our Nexus 7 can also run multiple windows at the same time just like Galaxy Tab 2 and Note 2. I havnt found any rom yet which supports such thing and some people are saying, an official update would fix that. Is there any chance we can have that on our Nexus 7?

Could you explain what you mean by "windows"? Are you talking about Touchwiz apps?
Edit: also, put Qs in the Q+A section. Actually, someone just asked this (coincidence)?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974476
There's apps on the play store that supports multi-windows like the note 2. There's a app called "OverSkreen (floating browser)" but it doesn't have support for jelly bean yet.
The OP is referring to the TouchWiz feature of running 2 apps side-by-side. This feature was heavily advertised on the Note 2. I think it is called Multitasking (lame name, I know).
I hadn't heard anything specifically related to the N7, but I did hear that it was part of the TouchWiz framework and it probably wouldn't be available on AOSP ROMs. I am waiting to be corrected though
Hello. I have written an app that helps to improve the accuracy of the S-Pen. It works only on Note phones because Samsung has compiled some S-Pen device driver interfaces out of the tablet ROMs. It is not clear why they did this. I have asked Samsung but gotten no replies. I have confirmed that parts of the kernel code is commented out in the open source kernel code (and you can see that some of the interface files found on phones do not exist on the tablets). It seems that the tablets suffer from the same issues related to the S-Pen as do the phones and I have many people asking me to make my app work on their tablets. I cannot do so with the stock ROMs because of the missing interface files.
So I am wondering if there any non-stock ROMs in which the S-Pen is more fully supported. The missing files are located on my phone in /sys/class/sec/sec_epen/ and the two files I need are called epen_hand and epen_rotation. If anyone knows of any ROMs for the S-Pen equipped tablets that provide these interface files, I would appreciate knowing and may be able to direct some folks to using them.
Thanks

Oops. Sorry about being so ignorant. I thought they all did. Please ignore!
All the 7.7 needs is an S-Pen like stylus (ex. The Atmel Maxstylus MXT100) to be complete now that JB is finally out. I don't know why Atmel has not released this stylus. Our tab has their hardware thaat would allow the pen to work. They even demoed it on a 10.1 tab. You can find the video on their website. :banghead:

I think you're in the wrong section..? This is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 section, we don't have support for S Pen.

Oops! Sorry about that. I know that some Galaxy tablets have the S-Pen. Thought this was one. Please ignore!
Haha, that's perfectly okay. I wish we had support! Capactive styli are so annoying to use, and the digitizer on this is in need of some serious fine tuning.
