No it can't be done, it exists just on samsung stock rom, maybe there is some app that can help you

The multi window ui is Dependant on the touch wiz framework. Its not impossible. But who knows, maybe someone will take it on eventually

I know there are video players out there that have picture overlay so you can watch a video while doing other things.

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.

You need to refer to the other annoying threads asking the same thing. You want multi window, get a note 2.

I use this awesome app called slide messaging located at the playstore. I only really like the pop up built into it so I really only use it. It's perfect for me because I prefer the touchwiz mms but miss the pop up feature on CM10.1! Check it out you'll be happy

I tried this also, but found it very laggy- especially when using the swiping feature -and not real stable. Maybe there has been some recent updates.

TW Lag an phone Lag...

No matter what TW Rom I'm in I get lag either scrolling thru the main screens or in the menu..Only does it on TWlauncher...well also here an there I get lag..really like this phone but not real impressed with performance...
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium

Run an aosp/cm/aokp for now and the lag will be gone. Or you can run a rebloated touvhwiz ROM. Or run a custom kernel and overclock. Or just get a different phone if it bugs you that much.

My suggestion is to upgrade to MDL (if you haven't already) and flash a custom TW kernel. This makes a world of difference over stock for smoothness and battery life is still great (depending on the kernel settings used). Other thing you can try is lowering the animation scale in developer options.

How I find Developer options lol

In About Phone tap your build number 7 times to unlock dev options. Then hit the back button tap dev options and scroll down, if you don't want any animations just turn the three off.

Never had lag issue with the S3 or the note on TW...Samsung really needs to get this phone running like butter right out of the box ya know...

It takes time. The gs3 was not smooth and neither was the gs2 when it first came out. And with updates it slowly becomes better. Be patient.

i had some bad lag when i was stock.. but now that im running a custom rom and kernel it is just about gone now.. yea i kno people shouildnt have to flash a custom kernel or rom to get rid of the lag but im sure samsung will fix soon

Ya I'm rooted running premium ROM using nova launcher...but this phone should not lag at all...there has to be a major update coming from Samsung I would think...lol for this nice of a phone...

You can always flash the crossbreeder mod....it eliminated all lag on my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113150

Ya I did the developer options transition scale trick that helped with two launcher lag but I still get a ton when writing long emails in TBD stock email app. A lot of times the keyboard can't keep up AMD gets stuck behind after about a paragraph of typing. Super annoying.

It personally sickens me that we have to do anything to this phone to get it to work well for us. Samsung needs to fix these issues and make this phone fly like it should with the hardware in it. No changing developer options or using a custom kernel or tweaking.

Very much agreed. i personally have minimal lag....there obviously should be none. Hopefully when the next update finally drops the lag will be taken care of.

I had the same issue but once I rooted, removed bloat, disabled some apps and installed a custom kernel all the lag is gone. I'm running No Frills CPU to control the CPU and I have it set at Max 1998GHz, Min 378MHz, Governor= Performance, I/O scheduler= deadline. Not having any issues with battery either. Works Great!
Also I noticed that S Voice was never mentioned. You have to uninstall it or make it so the home button doesn't activate it.

I'm running ktoonz 7/2 kernel with all his settings. Wow it gets rid of all the lag. Plus the phone don't run so hot like it does stock. Nice and cool and fast. I get 24-30+ hours before battery swap. I was also very pissed that out of the box this phone is kind of ****ty. Thanks to our great devs its fixed

[Q] Any ideas? or suggestion?

Alright so obviously I have the nexus 4. This really isnt a big problem for you guys I just need quick help.
You see I'm getting really bored. Maybe because its a developer phone and I'm obviously not a developer. I keep trying to sell it and since my birthday was today I almost got the galaxy s4.
I just keep thinking if there was something I could. do to this phone to make it as cool as the galaxy s4 I'm just not impressed.
I have rooted
I have over clocked.
Installed custom ROM
I just need Idk features that make the phone cool. Or something that'll keep me busy so I'm not bored.
Thanks

read around, maybe something will catch your interest. personally, i dont need the extra features. i look for something lean, and optimized, which usually means fast. the simplicity of android makes me happy, i dont need anything else.

rasbean jelly rom with the trinity kernel. but thats what i enjoy

Its basic human nature that they get bored after using the same thing again & again for many days. After a month of usage, I was bored with my S2, then I started trying out new ROMs, I used to change ROMs once every 2 weeks.
I got my Nexus 4, 3days ago.........
Try out different ROMs, try different software tweaks, or different apps from Play Store atleast. Otherwise just find something/someone other than your Nexus 4/10 to remove your boredom......

okay see because I over clocked and rooted my Nexus 4 and 10. Running pa with stock kernel. I literally took of Faux kernel does now because it was overheating my phone. I still have my Nexus 10 overclock and rooted. With same kernel. I just need something else to do with my phone. When I usually go hiking or trailing I do photosphere's and then add it to Google Plus but other than that there's nothing else to do

What you need is tasker!
That should be a really interesting project for you
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsIm5ldC5kaW5nbGlzY2guYW5kcm9pZC50YXNrZXJtIl0.
You can do anything with this app

What you need is to change the way you interact with your device. Remove the nav bar and use pie (learn to use gestures) , nova launcher (and many roms out there) have the option to remove the notificatiom bar. Use dashclock with the extentions as a homescreen widget. Use halo for notifications. Use icon packs to change the way your UI feels, change the wallpaper more often. If you're on google+ take a look at the communities, people are doing some crazy stuff customizations, try to replicate those themes.
Buying the s4 won't solve your problems.

Yeah the only thing Im not doing from what you said is using halo and pie. I did that with my nexus 10. The reason why I didn't on my nexus 4 is because I put tablet ui and made it transparent and made the app drawer transparent too

Jus run through the settings one by one and deselect anything that sounds like it might waste battery. Qslide, knock on, all nice touches but both waste that extra bit of juice and I can do without.

A he never asked that. He asked what brightness do YOU have it on. You do know people do this all the time. Just look into monitors at Hard forums. People love to know all the settings people use. People will say they get the best battery life with.. and then post.

Ok so I have it set up using nova Launcher just like on my note 3 I'm loving the tablet so far only this that's annoying me is the bar with the touch buttons at the end, as in when I'm using apps I don't get the full screen I guess it's something I will just have to get used to.
