Samsung Multi-window port to nexus 4 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
Recently I a friend of mine showed his galaxy note to me and I saw a incredble feature on it called multi-window, in which one could split windows up in the screen. It appeared that this could be done with a wide variety of applications, it´s purpose was to enhance multi tasking. On the bottom of the screen he would show an e-mail client and the upper part of the screen showed a webbrowser.
I am interested in having this ported over to the nexus 4 and I do realize that the screen is obviously smaller than the note and thereby creating a limitation. But nonetheless it still think that such a feature could be beneficial assuming that most apps will be able to resize themselves properlty on a screen that is smaller.
Is there any project that is currently focusing on this?
Joe

Omni ROM has an option to compile with that feature. You'll probably find it if you search for multi-window in the N4 forum.
Sent from my Nexus 4, want to know my current project? Check http://team-fun.eu

Use Google search for same and u will find some of custom rom with the multi Windows

I wish people had basic search skills. You could have easily found your answer yourself.

[Q] Split-Screen Multitasking port from GNote2

Hi, if you haven't heard of it the Samsung Note II has a very interesting feature: Split screen multi window support. Here's a video:
As you can see, it works very well and makes multitasking on the device a breeze. The video states that only a few apps are supported which is kind of correct; devs can add support to their apps with a single line of code, or you can flash a new list of supported apps to manually add support for the ones you want.
In my opinion, if this was added to AOSP it could be the killer feature that would set Android apart from iOS. But that's not the point of my post, what I'm wondering is if this feature can be ported to run on the Nexus 4. I don't know much about Android development, but it seems like there are two options for this to happen:
1. Port Touchwiz from the Note II to the Nexus 4, and then remove bloatware apps/retheme so that it looks more like AOSP.
2. Somehow remove the split-screen component from the touchwiz ROM, port to AOSP, profit.
Obviously #2 is preferable, but pretty far fetched. Can any developer folk provide some insight on whether either of these are feasible? I would really love to heave this feature on my phone.

Thanks.
I'm kind of disappointed no one seems to be interested in multi window. I think it's a killer feature.
Whatever happened to Cornerstone?

Split-Screen apps is not part of touchwiz it is part of the framework (for lack of a better term) system behind touchwiz. There are people on the GNote10 forum here at xda that have rooted and are running different launchers other than touchwiz but they are still getting Split-Screen Multitasking.

Touchwiz isn't just a launcher, it's really a whole OS based on Android.

That's what I thought but there are several people that say they have replaced (what they call the ugly resource hog) TouchWiz and still have the multi-screens by replacing the launcher. So they claim the muli-screens are part of the (their name for it) framework. All I know is I wish the multi-screens and floating windows could be part of Android so multi-screens and floating windows could be on all android devices because they really help productivity.

Essentially, Google asked Onskreen/Cyanogenmod to stop. The touchwiz version doesn't have the same compatibility problems because the app developer must integrate support into his app, instead of it working automatically.

They are referring to touchscreen as the visible elements (adjustments to notifications, touchwiz launcher, etc.) and in the technical sense. They have only hidden these elements, not removed them (except for the launcher and default apps). The ROM is still based off of a touchwiz ROM, and not AOSP, hence the multi window options remain.

I agree, but with most 2013 flagships being FullHD 5" phones, I think this feature is becoming increasingly useful. Splitting a 1080p screen in the middle leaves 2x 1080x960 halves, easily enough to functionally use most apps (at least while the keyboard isn't displayed) imo.

While personally I don't much of a point for this on small screens - it still stands that the smaller screens of today are still going on resolutions that used to be tablet domain, Now that the lines between tablets, phablets and tablets have been getting much more blurry - and many of all 3 are based on same SoCs (Both due to SoC & auxiliary size shrinking and avg phone size growing) - this function should hopefully be revived.
Especially considering the developement an outspread of highly capable android tablets during the last year.

amazing idea. is it possible?

u can actually see a great preview of the app that's running and better use for the screen size.
think about it, u could add an option for a round display like turning a wheel of apps.

Building New ROM. Post your Requests

Hi there
I am thinking of making a new Rom for Nexus 7 2013 WIFI (flo) and I would like to see what I can do for you. However, I am doing a little survey before I start developing the Rom. Kindly tell me what do you need in a ROM.
The rom will be build from source of 4.3 most probably but it's not set to stone yet. I might start working when 4.4 comes for our device.
Do you want to see specific softwares or specific modification or anything ?
Things like prerooted, custom boot animations,some softwares?
If I can do that, I will happy to do that for you all.
What do you like to see in the ROM, write your requests!
UPDATE :
Currently working on Xperia L, SP & Galaxy star so this project may be delayed till 4.4 is released
One think I like is that it's already rooted.

Unofficial Carbon with Tablet UI, Carbon has so many customizing features, however, what are you aiming for? swiss knife full-featured ROM or a slim stock-like ROM?
I really love halo and piecontrol to use full-screen all the time.
I would like a real multitasking like split the screen in half for example, with 2 different apps running.
I would also like a fully translated rom (in French) because ppl who develops roms usually forget about other languages than English for their new menu entries for example.
I'd also advise you to keep the stock bootanimation, Devs like to change it for a custom name, but it usually is not as good as stock (like PA, which I love, but hated the bootanimation).
Prerooted is always welcome.
I would also like a way to use different languages for voice recognition (not at the same time but easily changeable). I use French as much as English and it pisses me off that I can only use one voice recognition language.
An aosp browser of course.
Get rid of native apps other than gplay and Google search and maps, such as music, books,...
USB connection other than MTP would be nice for Linux users.
Stickymount like option built-in for USB keys, hard drives,...
An "advanced options" menu with startup apps & services, voltage control.
Maybe a modified gplay that can reach freedroid repos.
Built-in adblock plus to get rid of the annoying persistent notification (under "advanced options" maybe?)
That's rather an app but... A keyboard with advanced soft keys like ctrl-c ctrl-v and many others.
As many gpl licensed codes as possible (ideologically important for me)
... That's all I can think of right now

Just one: audio over USB. This is the only thing tying me to CM and their CAF. If only someone would show me how to port their USB portion I would jump ship to AOSP immediately.

I'd like to see something completely different. Every single ROM is AOSP plus this feature or that feature. I was excited for Multi-ROM for this device so I could try some new ROMs but they're all exactly the same plus or minus a few features. I find myself returning to stock 4.3 every time.

Noted down. Now I am looking at suggestions and out of all those, what is possible for me. I will update you all after looking at each one in detail.
Maybe two versions. One with just needed features while the otherone with loads of them. I am not sure how much time it will take me. I have already ordered a new hard disk as it will take loads of space!
I'm easy.
I just like Center Clock. Theme Support. Navigation bar Height. Transparency.
The Status Bar Data Speed is handy.

[REQ] modifications to S view window

Hello. Is it possible for any dev to make some changes in the S view window. I think many things can be added or removed from current options. For example I would love to have the option of dialing a contact directly from that window, the action memo is just limited to saving a number and not doing other actions, adding video player or any other related app which can be useful. Will be happy if someone work on this.

there's a few posts on this in the Q&A forum as well... would be nice to see, i thin a few people have talked about an Xposed module for it but nothing's come up yet sadly...
there is an exposed module for the s-window on the s4 (for adding other music player other then stock) and it works well.
i hope something will come on the note3 too.
Yeah. If walking mate from s health can jump in automatically then other things can happen too. Common devs, work on this

I am also looking for such modifications / themes in S view to add custom app etc.
But i doesnot want to root till waranty period is over...
so still no one as managed to enable multi dpi for the s-view... thats all I'm after if I'm honest. Clearly it can be done as X_Note roms work fine in different dpi's. In the end I've managed to get it working by pulling the framework.apk from x-note and placing it on my favorite rom. Even then I've had a few theme issues which took time to overcome. I'd be interested in knowing xml file controls the window size, all the ones with the word "sview" in them dont seem to do the trick on there own. Come on guys someone must know how to do this.... please !

I would like cyanogenmod on my tab, how about you?

My note 10.1-2012 with cyanogenmod is so much faster for drawing with sketchbook. Zooming and pen tracking are fantastic. I loved it so much that I went for the 2014 model. Disappoint! The whole reason i got this tab was to sketch and the performance just isnt there. Currently using the latest Bindroid and I don't blame the ROM, I blame touch wiz. Users rallied to get DutchDanny (the dev of Bindroid) a tab maybe it could happen again to get CM for us? Anyone want it want it as bad as I do?!

Most people get a Note for the Spen features and you will lose most all of them and specifically the Air Command if you go with Cyanogen Mod. I had the Nexus 7.2 for a bit and in my opinion AOSP is very boring. A couple of years ago phones and tablets did not have the processing power to deal with TW and Sense so AOSP was very helpful for a better experience but now that is a non issue. The biggest problem with getting AOSP on this device is the cost. Most developers are not going to buy it.

You have to be kidding me. There are plenty of manufactures who give a vanilla or near vanilla experience. The nexus is a great high end vanilla experience. Why are you knowingly buying products you do not like? Like it or not, what sets *most* Android manufacturers apart are the skins they create.
Samsung must be doing something right now selling the lion's share of Android systems. I bought the note for a reason and Cyanogenmod cannot provide that same experience no matter how many 3rd party apps are installed.

Yes, It wont be EXACLY like TW's features. But Vanilla has another great things to offer that will cover on it.

The Spen features are built into the framework. Cyanogen Mod does not have the feature in its framework. Also the Note devices have a Wacom digitizer along with the standard capacitive touchscreen. Some apps will work in Cyanogen mod but no apps which use the Samsung SDK for pen features will work. While I used the Nexus 7 2013, Cyanogen Mod was the worst of the AOSP based roms as they changed their drivers from AOSP based to CAF based which broke lots of things. The best AOSP roms are AOKP and Paranoid Android. AOSP would change this tablet into a faster Nexus 10 which I had and got the Note 2014 because of the Spen features.
PS Ditch the CAPSLOCK. No need in yelling since you are voicing opinions.
I do want CM on this. I prefer CM to TW, and I can see people who don't use the other TW features extensively benefit from CM. The only TW feature I use extensively is multiwindow, which can sorta be done on CM using Xposed right now (but not as good apparently). The only thing I'm not sure about is how Spen will be affected. I don't really use any of the S-apps, I mainly write on Papyrus and a bunch of other third party apps - which I hope shouldn't be affected?

I completly agree with you.
S Pen Apps are nice, but I don't use them often. I'm using my S Pen to draw, to write things quickly (yeah, an S Pen app but can replaced by an App from the Play Store) and to control easily the Note. That's a lot of good things, but they all can work on CM.
Multi Windows is the problem. Yes, there are few nice apps that can replace it, but far from TW's feature. But i guess that when the developers will want to bring it as an App, they'll to it.

It would probably help you out to go to the Note 3 forums to see how AOSP roms are functioning since they are similar.
Look at that guys:

I know it's not CM (Omni will probably wont get to our device anytime soon), I just want you to see that it's possible...
Who knows..maybe if CM comes to the TabPro, we might be able to get it since the hardware is practically the same.
Options are always nice. Some people (like me) are considering buy the Note 10.1 instead of the Tab Pro because of the 3gb RAM and because you can get a 32 GB version now. Couldn't care less about the pen! Would very much like some stock ROM options.

You can get almost ALL of the TW features in Vanilla! With some Apps and more Devs... It's the meaning of Android - we can always change software!

I like the Note, cuz it's coming with special pressure screen and s pen. Now I promise you that porting s pen's fetures from TW to CM is possible.
Yes, It wont be EXACLY like TW's features. But Vanilla has another great things to offer that will cover on it.
IT'S - ALL - SOFTWARE!

Great so find me a software replacement for any app in a floating window, 4 way split screen, a note pad that turns my handwriting into executable information, screen grabs I can easily edit, drag and drop, and a note app and finder that can even search for handwritten text. There is a reason nobody uses aosp or cyanogenmod on the note line up. Because it sucks at replicating touch wiz Very very badly. If all you wanted was a pressure sensitive pen and screen go get a nexus ten and a sketchbook and some pencils. It's the same thing right?

Why do you care so much about how someone else uses their tablet? If you don't want a stock ROM, don't use it easy.

Actually Xposed is fairly close to replicating that multiwindow/floating window situation. The drag and drop screenshot thing is cool, but it is so limited in its use because I can't even paste screenshots on any other apps outside of the S-app world. Also if no one used CM on the Note lineup then there wouldn't be CM on the Note 3 and Note 2012, lol.

exposed is nowhere near Samsung. 50/50 only and has to be selected from recent apps window. doesnt support drag drop and no 4 way window. Exposed doesn't do all apps floating either. Drag and drop supports text and pictures, and text works in many applications, example
MAME is strictly a non-profit project. Its main p

MAME is strictly a non-profit project. Its main purpose is to be a reference to the inner workings
of the emulated arcade machines. This is done both for educational purposes and for preservation
purposes, in order to prevent many historical games from disappearing forever once the hardware they
run on stops working. Of course, in order to preserve the games and demonstrate that the emulated
behavior matches the original, you must also be able to actually play the games. This is considered
a nice side effect, and is not MAME's primary focus.
Drag and drop text supports any app that uses the android system text copy and paste functions. as for as I can tell. Most text fields take it. And you can share screenshots almost anywhere. And what I meat was that very few people prefer the Hosp roms. Hence the giant number of TW Roms in comparison.
