This can be achieved by apps. Super video is a floating video player, air calc is a floating calculator, floating banner gives you a onscreen menu to start apps and view widgets.
/edit: oh yeah, forgot about floating browser.

I have always wondered why android does everything full screen. On a phone with limited real estate OK I can see that but on a tablet with a lot more real estate why don't we have a more desktop like experience? Ii hope key lime pie bakes in multi window functionality because its quite silly to waste so much space since there are plenty of people who truly like to multitask.

Its the app developers that need to implement it, not the rom. The functionality is already built into android.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
But if the app developers dont use this function then what is there to do about it?
Could it be built into the launcher so that all apps will have a frame around it where you can change between full screen and windowed mode? Just like in Windows

??? I get the translation of "La Polla" to be "****" ???
+1 for the option, I would also like my launcher to be split as well. I like to have a 12 x 6 grid of icons, would love the launcher to rotate as two separate 6 x 6 grids
This won't happen until Google makes it in Android. The only way to make it responsibly is to implement it as an opt-in api. But, only Samsung or Google have the clout to make such an API and actually get developers to use it.
CyanogenMod developers wanted to improve Cornerstone but we were literally threatened by a Google employee on Google+. While Cornerstone was exciting at first, I see where the Google employee was coming from. Multiwindow, if done badly, will cause even more fragmentation issues for application developers.

That's right. But in Spain (I don't know if it's the same in South America), it's used as an equivalent of "sweet" or "cool" times one thousand.
It's really common, but not usually used in written form.

Hey guys, I've heard that the official AOKP ROM for the N10 could be getting multi window in the future. If you head over to the thread some users have asked about it and apparently the devs have plans for it. besides that, its a lightning fast ROM

Any app, kernel or ROM support this?
I have a number of apps where I'd like to keep them running in the background, minimised or windowed but keep running, and currently they basically close themselves if I swap to other apps. Examples are Hulu and Slingplayer. I think I know why Hulu behaves like that.... its to try to bully you into watching the commercials, not sure why Slingpayer does it though.
On a desktop OS like Ubuntu or Windows I can just run multiple apps concurrently and they run independently of if on the screen or not. Good for doing something else whilst Hulu plays its commercials.
I've been searching and seems the OS has the hooks but the app must enable itself? Is there a ROM which allows it? OmniROM seems to??
I've only played with stock Android and a few kernels so far.
I got a Nexus 7 I can brick as a playing system til I find a solution to then put on my N10.

See my signature below for a link to a working split-view custom ROM (Tempest). It can be tempermental as it is still a work in progress. For YouTube in split-view use an alternative playstore app called Viral. In my opinion it is better than Google's app anyway as it provides the options users have requested for a long time.
Tried to find appropriate thread but this might be the closest. My N10 is still rooted & running 4.3.1 and I haven't found a compelling reason to update to 4.4.x because of the slew of reported problems others have experienced with their updates. Also I don't want to lose the split window settings menu unique to the larger tablets, which I understand has been lost with 4.4. Has that split menu settings been restored in later updates of 4.4?

Well, I see a lot of threads at development section about this "paranoid" ports, even i had to read a little fight between some porters about it.
But, I really want to know what it's this about? What paranoid ports have to give to users? It's really worth trying that?

It lets you use your phone in tablet mode. You can select which apps can use tablet UI and which needs normal phone UI. Check its screenshots.

Nice one!
Is the horizontal launcher still bugged though? (eg, apps down the bottom half off the screen)
Also, I long for a toggle for the battery icon.
:good:
Wish u success with this project.
I rather use an stock rom with few mods than a custom rom with 100 extra features that only a few know what are really doing.

Google needs to put it in aosp as soon as possible. I wish they didn't kill off cornerstone as that was originally going to be part of cm but google told them to cease and desist.
Google would have to develop that from scratch, because that's Samsung-proprietary code.
Also, I hope that Google does NOT clutter up Android with stuff like this, for this we have ROMs like PA (which is already stuffed full of features that it barely works as a daily driver).

Paranoid android was great when it was based on cm. Its in 4.2 when they tried to go aosp and make their own tweaks that it became a mess. They need to go back to cm or switch to AOKP(uses CMs main code).
It wouldn't be that difficult to implement multi window. The cornerstone code would be a good starting point and android apps already scale to different resolutions without an issue.

Hi everyone!
A couple of months ago my mother bought a Nexus 5 because she really disliked that she wasn't able to change anything to her then current mobile phone other than the background: she had an iPhone. Now she's been getting used to the whole Android ecosystem and the look and feels, however, certain simple tasks are still difficult for her. What I then noticed was that none of the official Google apps (camera, gmail and settings f.e.) had the same management. The buttons aren't in the same places and therefore you have to learn what to do per app. There is just no consistency.
That's the reason why I made these mock-up/concepts. Simple and easy to understand. Easy to get from one place to the other. Also, apps which are really close to one-another, like the contacts app with the phone and messages app, are connected via the tab-pullout.

Feedback is welcome. Please keep in mind that this was just something I decided to do in my spare time and I thought would be fun to show you guys. Also, I am sorry certain texts are in Dutch, I made screenshots from my phone and didn't bother to change them .
EDIT 31-5-2014:
I've been thinking about how I could improve my last concept/mock-up and now I've come up with this idea.
It is a combination between the new looks of the Google Keep-app, Facebook-app and the camera app.
Now all navigation is in the bar on top, including the "sub-navigation". All the actions are in the lower bar, which looks just like the bar in the camera-app. I don't know what would be best: to make the actions disappear like the three-dot menu in the camera-app or like the actions in the facebook-app: disappear when scrolling.
Also, with apps like the music-app or youtube-app which have a thumbnail, they can take up some space on the action bar.
If there is not enough room for the actions, the action bar would be scrolable.
If a message or anything is selected, an action bar will pop-up below that message.
The action bar is in the bottom because it is easier to touch with your thumb on big phones (and maybe with some smaller phones as well).
I've put all the navigation stuff together and i've put all the actions together so it is more clear for newcomers and also so you immediately know where to go to instead of searching for what you want.
your camera ui is better than the stock one for sure. stock one is really annoying
nice job!

That's brilliant. Such a simple concept which explains why most avid android users are confused as to why the acreage users keep forgetting what to do, or don't use features at all.

Magazine UX is probably the Flipboard engine, modified to launch a couple of Samsung Apps.
At least it will look and behave Flipboard-like, which can get annoying soon.

When it was announced M-UX was a replacement UI, was set as the default home page, came with three pages of M-UX content installed out-of-the-box, and had a ton of live widgets and the ability to add a tile (shortcut) to launch any installed app.
From the Verge in January...
The new tablets feature Samsung's new home screen layout called Magazine UX. The layout offers tiles of apps and information that users can customize and configure. Three preset pages are offered by default, though users can customize up to five pages with apps and news widgets. The whole system feels very similar to the LiveTile system in Windows 8.1 and is a bit more approachable for new users than the typical home screen. Ironically, the power users that Samsung is targeting with the Pro tablets will likely find the Magazine UX too constricting and limiting.Since then it's been renamed from "M-UX" to "Content Home," reduced to a single home page that's no longer the default (standard TW is), half the widgets shown at MWC are gone, and so are the tile app shortcuts. My guess is that it's been neutered as part of the cooperation agreement signed between Google and Samsung. Samsung Hub which was a content competitor to Google Play is also now gone on the Pro's.
To your point, what's left pretty much is a more flexible version of My Magazine that allows you to choose and re-arrange what news and social content is displayed on the page. Based on what it's ended up being I won't be upset if our update doesn't include it.
