Hello,
I'm using Slimkat 4.4.4.8269 since its release. It has a neat feature called the custom tiles which is the feature that keeps me on that rom because I was unable to find a similar function in another ROM.
The Slimroms custom tiles basically lets you set unlimited "custom" tiles in the quicksettings which you can set with apps, os functions or whatever. They take a second action for a long press and they can cycle through multiple apps on that one tiles.
This is basically a quickstarter for apps. The thing that makes this marvelous is actually that opening an app doesn't get that app into the foreground, that statusbar stays in the foreground such that I can open a second and third, etc. app through very few taps.
An example what I use this for: My worst but not rare case here:
Navigation+speedcam warner+mozilla stumbler(wifi and cell existance to gps mapper)+openwlanmap.org (wifi to gps mapper)+openbmap.org (wifi and cell to gps mapper).
The best approach is to use a directory on the homescreen, if my launcher supported it. This way i don't have to search in the app drawer.
So I would open the directory, start app 1, press home screen, start app 2 and so on.
Until i started the 5 apps, I have done (swipes and presses+ app-open-taps combined) 15 actions.
Using custom tiles as slimkat offers it in the status bar I swipe to open the quick settings and then open my apps, 1 swipe+5 taps=6 actions.
This is for me much faster and allows me to pay much less attention to my phone while starting what I want.
However, I would like to update to Lollipop or M, anyways, go with CM most likely but that feature isn't there. I found out that the GravityBox with the xposed framework offers some kind of similar features but it only features 2 custom apps, currently I have a bit more than 20 in my status bar.
I could use "Tasker" for this approach as well, but actually that configuration is rather weird and static to one action/app (condition) which I first have to fulfill. That approach fails if one of the apps is already started and I only want to start one app especially if that meets Taskers condition. I end up using the app drawer and search for my app.
This post pretty much covers the configuration and outcome of the custom tile in Slimroms in two pictures:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/rom-slimkat-hammerhead-stable-5-0-t2511512/post51495728#post51495728
Have you seen any other ROM with decent updates (that seems to be only CM for the hlte at the point of writing) or way to accomplish something similar? It doesn't need to be in the statusbar, even though that is quite easy to access.
Parts of my post I took from my post to a CM feature request at JIRA:
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-2227?jql=text%20~%20%22custom%20tiles%22
Thanks in advance!
Try Layers, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/themes-apps/systemui-overlays-5-0-t3025183
Thanks for the reply. I think layers is some sort of theming app overlaying the normal icons with other colors. This is something new to me and interesting, but not what I wanted in this thread.
I found something that goes a bit in that direction: Hangars. It displays some appbar in the notification area. Upon opening an app the area disappears and I would have to open the notification area again. Still better than the homelauncher and its folders.
Something I tested previously going into the same direction is the PIE control as well as some sidelaunchers like omnirom and such. Still the custom tiles allow a faster operation.
If anyone is interested in those, you could vote for this as well:
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-2227, It enclosed this feature.
From time to time I changed to CM or something like it, but return very quickly to my custom quick tiles as they are irreplacible and other roms waste time and I can hardly operate them blindly like slimkat.
Just heads up, Google finally may have thought those tiles to be useful and they were added in Marshmallow. You can only go there using the System UI tuner (google for it, if you don't know what it is. You'll need another app to configure those nicely, like custom quick settings. Due a bug you can't add more than 18 tiles in total, but if you like it and don't need more go ahead. Right now I have 40+ and they're in color.
So far I can't think of changing from the lovely slimkat.
I'm not sure if this has been pointed out already, but I have found a reddit thread which gives instructions on how to do just that.
I'm running Temasek's android 5.1.1 with the 5.1.x Xposed framework(by romracer) and I'm in complete bliss, I've been freed from the Touchwiz lag wagon!
It's not perfect, some splitscreen bugs here and there, but floating windows are very useable; resizable, moveable, minimizeable.
The Touchwiz alternative isn't perfect either,so...yeah..
The AOSP alternative is actually faster and smoother then on Touchwiz.
My essential apps are perfectly* able to be floated or splitted, these include:
-Chrome, Youtube, Password manager, Note taking, Calculator, email, messaging, office, file explorer, pdf reader.
*most apps are floatable via the recent app screen, however the apps that refuse this action can be forced to comply (float on app open).
Here's the original link: https://www.reddit.com/r/nexus6/comments/2wh9vw/multiwindow_for_the_nexus_6_thanks_to_xposed/ only use the mentioned version ofcourse.
Do's and dont's:
-Don't fiddle around with the 'xHaloFloatingWindow>SystemUI Modes' and/or ',, ,, ,,>Status Taskbars', as it may cause System UI to crash constantly (even if you disable xposed, rooted apps keep crashing).
-more to come.
Some quick settings and tips:
-Set/keep the ',, ,, ,,>Popup Behavior>Whitelist/Backlist options' to default if you wish.
-To force apps into floating mode, add an app to ',, ,, ,,>Popup Behavior>Whitelist Apps'.
-MultiWindowSlidebar is only useful for apps which have been forced into floating mode, any other apps added will be opened in fullscreen (these apps will need to be floated via the recent apps menu).
-unfortunately some apps refuse to open floated(via recents) once they're already opened the normal way, which makes it impossible to open them floated unless you forcefully do so.
Forcing them may or may not be useful. However you don't have to; if you kill the app(via app info screen) and the killed app still shows in recents, you can reopen it in floated(the app is restarted in floated that way, through recents).
There is an even quicker way to achieve this, and I discovered it by accident.
If you're on Tamesek's rom, go to 'settings>Tamesek spare parts>app bar'
Enable it, add you're apps in it.
If you now long press an app in the app bar it'll open in a floating window(some apps must be closed before they can be floated;just close them via recents).
The app bar has in effect replaced my multiwindowsidebar app.
-more to come
Functionality loss compared to touchwiz and/or decrease in reliability:
-no 4 way split screen, only 2 way.
-no app bubbles (these however can be turned on and showed in the notification bar, if you've set the right setting).
-Apps floated via recent's do not get a 'bubble' in the notif. bar if they get minimized. However you can reopen the apps in recents and the apps will reopen themselfs as floated.
-It's not as easy to snap 2 app's side by side.
-Some apps crash/misbehave whereas on TW they wouldn't have.
-Some apps misbehave when forced into float, but do not when it's floated from recents.
Vice versa.
-Split screen divider bar doesn't always show up>Can't resize on the fly.
-Status bar causes some floated apps te misbehave; I use gmd gestures to quickly hide/unhide the bar.
Analyse the relevant behaviors to adapt to them.
-more to come.
All the fluidity of AOSP bundled with most of the functionality of TouchWiz, I highly recommend you try out his instructions. You won't be disappointed, though you will be needing some patience.
Let me know how it went and share your experiences.

A while ago someone posted a thread about Remix OS which really made me think how good that would be. Unfortunately as we can see development for this device is next to 0 so i decided make this guide for anyone who might want to have a similar experience on a stock rooted rom with xposed.
***I DID NOT MAKE ANY OF THESE APPS, I JUST ZIPPED THOSE THAT I USE AND MADE THIS TUTORIAL SO THOSE THAT WANT THIS DONT NEED TO SEARCH EVERYWHERE TO FIND THEM***
***The xhalomultiwindow beta app was found near the end of the xhalomultiwindow thread and the sidebar is from another thread on XDA and all credits for the apps go to their creators***
Firstly ... there are bugs like sometimes something will force close or some apps might freak out a bit when being resized in the floating mode and not scale properly but it works in my opinion well enough for every day use.
With this tutorial i assume that you have xposed installed and running. If you dont, just do a fast google search for *xposed for lollipop 64 bit* or something similar and you will find it on XDA.
1. Download the zip in this post and extract with 7zip
2. Install the Xhalofloatingwindow-beta apk
3. Activate module in Xposed installer and reboot
4. Install the sidebar apk
5. Run the Toggle MultiWindowSidebar app from your app drawer(this should make a arrow in a white semi circle show up on the right side of the screen-the sidebar)
6. Run the MultiWindowSidebar app from the app drawer and enable start on boot and keep service in background. Here you also add in the apps you want to have and choose how they open if you drag them or tap them from the sidebar. I have it set in Drag Launch Mode to XhaloFloatingWIndow Portrait (landscape has weird scaling) and in Tap Launch Mode to Default which will open the app like normal android would
7. Open xHaloFloatingWindow from the app drawer and in the Popup WIndow menu set the Popup Dim to 0% (it is a matter of personal taste but i like it more this way with no dimming)
8. On the next page (swipe right to movable and resizeable) enable the switch and here you can play around a bit with the settings and set them as you like
9. Do a reboot just for good measure, it probably isnt needed but i did it anyway.
10. Have fun and dont try to kill me if something freaks out because you made the window 1x1cm
Another app that works nicely with this but is totally standalone is OGyoutube, while you can use normal youtube with this the OG app also allows playing in background downloading and playing with the screen off so i would highly recommend it.
Thanks for sharing! I'll play round with this
Another screenshot of Hill Climb Racing running in one window, Adblock Browser in another window while Moonlight streaming runs in the background at 1080p 60fps (the stream keeps working with apps over it but you might need to disable App Pausing in XhaloFloatingWindow app)
Recently our devices that have not been intervened for modification have received the new version of Android 11 based on MiUI 12.2.1.0 (RJKMIXM) so they have added things such as also removed things and a few bugs, then I will leave a list of what that to my appreciation I managed to discover with this update and it would be great if they also share more things.
Additions and improvements:
- iOS style bar available for gestures (with option to remove in settings) without the need for the long-awaited Poco Launcher 3.0.
- Improved animations such as multitasking and when opening apps.
- Fixed pixelated screen on lock screen.
- New emojis. (LOL)
- From Poco's Launcher if you slide down the right side you lower the control center, to the left you lower the notification center, it is no longer necessary to do it from the status bar and clearly you have to have the new control center active and from Home do the gestures.
- By having the device horizontally, if you slide the new control center, now you can see it in a better way, that is, on the left side you will see the customizable quick accesses and the right side the fixed ones with wifi and data.
- Sound assistant in the sound and vibration section
- Beauty mode for video calls
Things they removed and certain bugs:
- I cannot access the last app from Home by pressing the multitasking button twice if you have it active
- They removed the notification priorities (high, normal, unimportant, etc.)
- They removed the button for the pop-up windows from multitasking as well as the one from the split screen (I think it was that) that was in the upper left corner
- Even if you have accelerated animations (x0.5), the new animations (such as multitasking and when entering apps) will still be at x1
- In certain sections they removed some vibrations
- In some notifications (it only happened to me on WhatsApp and Google messaging) when you get a single notification, it is misconfigured
- (bug) If you have dark mode, when accessing the section with the shutdown, restart, etc. buttons, the letters will be the only ones that will be white, the icons will be black (f for those with dark backgrounds)
- (bug) 50% brightness down is lower than it was before
PD: Sorry for my bad English

I know, I actually did the post there and it appeared here in some strange way.
Everything on the list is with the phone factory reset after updating.
how about floating windows? i can't do that as in previous V12.0.4.0.
ok. any of you that have received the update from updater app have force close from updater app after apply the update? After clearing data of that app, i got no more FC on the app but now i am unable to see changelog, its says "you don't have permission to access the update log", and trying to download last update manually says "Can’t download update, wait a minute or two"... it's really annoying!
I have received 12.2.1.0 (RJKMIXM) update and the rom is ok but the biggest issue i have is with gestures control. Now the the "go on home screen" and the "open recents" don't work at all, neither with poco launcher or nova launcher. It's a big bug for me and now i must use the buttons on the navigation bar.

I have similar issue. It works if default launcher is set to poco launcher. But when it's set to nova launcher home gesture swipe up doesn't work outside the launcher.

I have the same issues with nova launcher.
I also have a lot of issues with the share option in apps wich doesn't work.
Does Someone know how to disable bobble notifications? Can't find it in the settings!
Hi, I am having problems with the new version 12.2.1. When I try to open a youtube, instagram, navigator link from another app it says that no app can open the content. In the previous version 12.0.3 there was no problem

try this app! -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.conena.navigation.gesture.control&hl=en_US&gl=US
this app will give you back gestures on all app screens.
-> needs less power and works for me! You can hide the app overlay if you don’t like it!.
(freeware - no ads!)
Edit:
maybe some of the XIAOMI bugs are the same as present at Google A11. See here: https://piunikaweb.com/2020/12/08/android-11-update-bugs-issues-problems-tracker/
If anyone here would compare this list, I would be delighted!
Hi there. I got the new update with all the bugs that are already mentioned by other members in previous posts. The one that is bothering me the most and gives me a hard time is the messed up notifications. What I mean is that when I have more than one notifications, either from the same app (grouped ones) or from different apps, the senders' names and text gets confused with other apps' notification text or sender's name. I tried a factory reset, but unfortunately it didn't solve the bug. The action buttons are also misaligned and sometimes not fully visible, but that's already mentioned by other members. Does anyone have the same bug? Can you propose a workaround at least until a fix is released? Thank you!!

I am using this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.le.miui10gestures and it's perfect. Problem solved.
because my phone was more and more unusable, i now use my Sam Note 9 for the next time.
Rollback and new installation on POCO F2 fails because verification problems during the process.
On the Note 9 with LineageOS 17 everything is alright. There i use "Full Screen gestures" (paid version)
I don't quite understand. Did they remove floating windows feature in the new update?
No. But the way to do differs a little bit.
On: -> developer option " freeform window" must be activated. Then a special tile will give " flying window". Start the app and press the tile...
Off: tap on flying app navbar and swipe up the app window.

Eventually I managed to disable bubble notifications for telegram. When you open the chat bubble, in the bottom left corner there is a "Manage" button. If you tap on that it brings you to a setting page where you can disable the toggle for bubble notifications.
Hello everyone, does it happen to you too that sometimes in the main screen they disappear (become invisible) and you have to restart the phone to solve? You know how I can do it. Help me!!

Hi,
I have updated my poco f2 pro to miui 12.2.6.0 but the Notification issue is not fixed (mixing all the notification, WhatsApp notifications are not grouped like in miui 11). But this update feels much smoother operations (miui 12.2.5.0 was little bit slower than miui 12.0.4.0) in the phone.
