Would it be possible on our device?
Thank you

I think Thor had that Onskreen Cornerstone was working on one of his ICS builds, not sure if it's still implemented though.
I was reading a little about it just today and I discovered that this feature is TouchWiz related... I don't know if there is a way to bring it for non Samsung devices
Thor did have it working on his ICS ROM.
Conerstone abandoned support....so it was pulled from future builds
is Multi Window the same as Kornerstone?
I thought it was something new.
maybe time for a Samsung port? I miss TW on my acer...
looks like it could be achieved through an app or custom launcher? very cool to have on a tablet.
How?
Yhanks

Samsung's implementation of Multi Window is buried very deeply into their TouchWiz code. It can't even be ported to an S3 or Note 2 running an AOSP rom, which I currently use. It depends on too many TW libraries to even consider porting.
Kornerstone was an older attempt at this feature, but was abandoned by its creators and the latest version of Thor's ROM that contained it (circa build v164 for ICS) was buggy as hell due to Kornerstone. Thor removed it from his subsequent ROMs (at least by v169).
Alas, there is absolutely zero possibility we will EVER see Samsung's Multi Window on our A500, or any non-TW ROM.
Try VirtuousGalaxy
One week ago I downgraded my bootloader to be able to use Virtuous Galaxy Rom, that have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 TouchWiz Interface with mini-apps (only 7) in little windows that you can move and interact with them as you want, but is 10000 times more limited than the posibilitis that Note 10.1 TouchWiz gives.
The first drawback is that this Rom still in Hc 3.2 and it have a worse performance than the 4.x.x and that you have to downgrade your bootloader (If you have Dual Bootloader V8 ICS) and then you can only install HC roms.
I was asking for a 4.x ICS Bootloader TouchWiz Rom there and in other forums but nobody says anything. I tryed to give the code of Touchwiz and tryied to port a rom, but it was imposible to me (I have no enought knowledge about it)
Sorry for my bad English, i'm Spanish

This phone has been on the market for some time now and there are almost no custom Roms for this phone. There are certainly no Froyo roms. Is there a problem with development? Did samsung release all the drivers needed?
there are in fact many custom ROMs already.
but the guys making the custom ROMs are waiting for Froyo to be released, before they go crazy on it (same here)
Samsung is releasing Froyo sometimes in September, just in time for back to school
for the time being i'm mostly evaluating all the softwares i wat to include into my own custom ROM once froyo has been released, and also building a list of build in apps that i don't use and want to remove
you can install any of the many available custom ROMs already from the DEV section just search for [ROM]
Samsung have released the source code, but reportedly the drivers are encrypted. This means all custom roms for the near future will need to be based off the official (and leaked) Samsung releases with just optimisations (eg: MoDaCo R3) or theming (eg: SamSet 1.6), but no ports or AOSP until the drivers can be recovered.
However, work has started on Cyanogen 6.0 for Galaxy S. They are stil very much in the initial stages however.
Official Froyo is due sometime in August (Korean release), so it's easiest to just wait for that and then go from there. However, we may get some leaks early if the stream of beta firmwares (still 2.1) is anything to go by.
Actually i'm quite sure Paul said that next MoDaCo release won't be based on an official samsung firmware, so I think it's just a matter of time and many ROMs will appear.

Hi, just rooted my tab , and now wondering if I should flash a custom ROM. Any advice selecting a stable ROM? Having a hard time to figure out which one to choose. A lot more easy with a HTC Sensation because of more to choose from. I like CM9 with ICS, but can't find it to the 7.7
Tnx
Stick with the stock ROM, and install Go Launcher HD if you feel like TouchWiz is slow.
The ROMs in the development section at best are only fractionally better than stock, and there is no ICS build, stable or unstable, for the 7.7 as of yet.
Seams like the devs are waiting for the ics update first to make custom roms off that.(i have the P6810)

So I was thinking that if the galaxy tab 7.7 ICS ROM that's just been released could be modified for our note we would have a proper working touchwiz tablet mode at long last!
All the official TouchWIZ ICS roms don't support tablet (<213dpi) mode at all due to FCs but here is a working touchwiz based tablet mode ICS rom - albeit for a different device that could be modified to work in our NOTE...
This would resolve most of the hardware/video acceleration issues that affect AOSP and CM9 based roms.
Anyone interested in this??
Thoughts..?
Nice to see a Tablet Stock Rom aboard !! +1 if someone could port it for our note !
okay, just adding the launcher didnt work - why should it be so easy
+100,000,000
I so need a tablet TW ROM lol, Ive tried PA and it was awesome, but just not for me, I missed the Samsung features, Widgets, S-Pen ect ect....
hoping someone can get this ported
I'm sure there's a million other threads like this, but the Iconia development world moves too fast for me to keep up, and for those older threads to maintain relevance. So I'm wondering what the latest and greatest ROMs are for the Iconia A500, and better yet a good guide on how to get it going.
Here's what I have going on right now:
1. It's running stock ICS (4.0.3, image Acer_AV041_A500_RV05RC01_PA_CUS1) applied through the OTA update.
2. It is rooted.
3. It has stock recovery, stock everything besides being rooted.
I do have experience flashing ROMs on Androids, rooting, ClockWorkMod, ADB, etc. but I have never flashed anything on an Acer before. Ideally, I'd like to throw CWM on there and a (mostly stable) JellyBean ROM. Can anyone hook me up with some threads?
Thanks!
EDIT: You know, from the looks of it, that CUS1 kinda screams that something isn't stock. The only explanation I have is it changed when I rooted it.
In Developement section I noticed JB 4.2.1 beta3 is most current if your going on JB numbers (over 4.1.x) not all works (but is getting better each version), read thread
if you goto any JB ROM , it will based on another BASE... ACER A500 STOCK ROM only has gotten to 4.0.3 so far (NO JB)
A good MOD or addon, I like is "Google NOW by Civato MOD" it adds Google NOW to 4.0.3. (ICS)
Lightspeed 4.8 is a great ROM (older ICS 4.0.3 based) but nice how it is stripped of bloatware) and you can add OC kernel and have @ 1504 Mhz
Civato, has made a few ics 4.0.4 ICS roms with A700 mixed in, better screens, etc.
I Like sticking with STOCK Acer_AV041_A500_1.054.00_WW_GEN1. It's the most current STOCK version.
Then I strip out a lot of Bloatware, add in Civato's Google NOW mod. another MOD AD Blocker (etc\"hosts" file)
I tried JB on Another based ROM, couldn't get into it, I'd try 4.2.1 in few weeks when more is working.
*** MOST important to get onto ICS UNLOCKED Bootloader, and before that, GET CPUID before u do any other CHANGES
Hope this has been helpful.
So... Where do I start? What software should I use? Do I fix the bootloader first or flash CWM, or what?
Hello everybody. Any chance for port Touchwiz from s7 to our s3? This ROM looks beautifull <3
I know kernel for touchwiz is hard to compile but we have good developers so they can try. I can pay for this rom and kernel. PRIV
First, we need working LP port of touchwiz that is funcional ;D
Hey there @LaweK,
What You are currently looking for is already available.
HyperRom -
Hands Down the best touchwiz rom for GT i9300,Im currently using it and couldnt be more satisfied.
However this rom is running on android 4.4.4, and not marshmellow, However the Android Version didnt affect me at all as it was impossible to guess that this rom is 4.4.4 due to the features and its UI, that almost completely mimicks the s7 marshmellow features.
Anyways, I Fully Recommend this Rom To Anyone who owns a Galaxy s3 and prefers the original samsung UI.

I don't like hyper-rom v6, I tested it two days and it was really buggy for me, android 4.4.4 is the past generation of android. I consider since lollipop is a different android so we need to work together to get a good lollipop or marshmallow tw rom for our device.

Well Different Opinions I guess, However HyperRom Was not at all buggy for me nor was it slow [Im also Still using it with no issues.]
Anyway There`s Also Another Touchwiz Rom Ive used Eclipse Rom Together With The Ultimate Marshmellow Mod. Just thought you should know, It is beautiful however proved to be more buggy for me.
Anyways I dont think we are to expect a Android Marshmellow Touchwiz Rom For The S3, Lets Face it This Phone is now 4 years old and we should be suprised on how much support it is still getting.
We Barely Have An Android Kitkat Touchwiz Rom, So we are to get a Lollipop Touchwiz Rom, before Marshmellow, So it Might Take Either a lot of time to happen or it may not happen at all.
Anyways CM13 and CM13.1 Is available right now that is with android marshmellow, So you can try that too if you want.

I once read that someone was porting lp 5.1.1 from a s5 rom. He said that it booted it with lots of bugs and it would not even be in alpha. I'm still searching for that forum I can´t find it . I'll give you a link when I find it :fingers-crossed:
Probably it willl be very hard to port S7 TouchWiz (too RAM consuming), it might be partially ported in future but I suppose it would be slow and buggy.
Can we solve the camera problem by upgrading s3 to s7?
