As you know multi window mode is basically intalled in lenovo yoga tablet model.
However, it supports only system app like clock, youtube, chrome and something like that.
In case of Samsung galaxy models, they have also multi window mode, but they have multi window manager apps so they can add their own user apps.
How about lenovo?
I think multi mode is almost useless function if we cannot add user apps even though it's very good system.
I tried to use alternative apps via xposed framework but it's very unconfortable cuz I cannot resize the window size.

Warning : Do not install this if you're running art on 4.4 (xposed works only with dalvik) or any other rom with multiwindow framework built in like mokee.
Here's a guide to XhaloFloatingWindow Xposed module :
Firstly basic installation Guide and Original thread
After following the guide, you will be able to launch notifications in floating window like halo, but you'll need a secondary launcher like floating notifications or bubble launcher to launch apps in floating mode.
But to get true multi window(not just halo like behaviour), do the following in xHaloFloatingWindow app.
In popup behaviour:
1) App pausing is off.
2) disable auto close checked.
3)force new windows in halo checked
4) show app in recents checked (this one's your choice)
In movable and resize :
1) turn on movable and resize
2)in titlebar settings, enable title bar.
3)in moving settings, enable all.
4)in resizing settings, nothing is on.
5) in system ui mods, prevent moving home to the front is checked, rest is off.
And the result is .....drum roll.... multi window like behaviour.
See screen shots attached
Feel free to experiment and post your results. I'm on Cm11 by CodyF86.
P.S : for some reason, opening more than one app on home screen causes the new app to hide previous app. I just open a random app, like contacts app and now opening new apps wont hide previous apps.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Also take care that if you have inbuilt halo or omni multiwindow. ....
Don't follow this method results may Uneven as per developr. .....
Only it suits for simple roms without halo or omni multiwindow. ...
You can use SensonicHD rom it has in built unlimited floating multiwindow. ...you may refer bellow.... ...

I love it! it's great for tablets, but I guess it's still pretty new? some apps don't function so well with it.You said something about bubble launcher and floating notifications. I've tried bubble launcher and didn't see the difference. Maybe I've configured it wrong?
Thanks for posting!:good:
Hello.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note (GT-N8000). It has the original Android 4.1 and I want to upgrade it.
I am not sure if I should install Omnirom. So I want to know if it will be worth. I prefer roms that are lightweight, easy to use and a little bloated.
I tried Cyanogenmod and I hated it, because it is only for cellphones and for that reason it is poor for tablets.
Compared to the standard tablet GUI, CM has an unneeded upper bar. Everything could fit on the bottom bar instead of using two bars. The touch keyboard has fewer options and the number keys are not independent. Furthermore, my language needs diacritics. The menu where apps are listed cannot be managed easily. The standard GUI lets me uninstall apps, sort apps, move apps and create folders.
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)
I am hoping if somebody who has the skill to make this apk OmniSwitch to work properly in android tv interface i used everyday and i like so far,but i do have some sugesstion like, the interface would be a regular simple launcher home screen displaying:
Date - hour- WIFI(network)
notification by apps
show memory usage
show recent apps name image
favorites apps exactly in the middle of the sreen with large image.
I do think this the only well better so far apps for the sotck launcher andorid tv interface
try you dont regreted
You need to have Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S7 with Nova Launcher and Marshmallow.
Confirmed working on SM-G925F
So, to access hidden activities you need to add Nova Launcher widget called "Activites" then scroll down to "Settings" and select something from list. Some things won't work (they are not available, need additional permissions etc.), some of them are already available via Settings. I am not responsible if tinkering with activities do something nasty to your device!
However, there are some options that are hidden but can be very, very useful.
Hint - you can "test" specific activity by long press, there's no need to put every activity on home screen and test it that way. Also, applying settings isn't dependent on Nova Launcher, ergo you can use whatever you want after changing something.
Here's what I've found:
Settings
.DisplayScalingActivity - enables condensed view of system UI, same as on S6 Edge + or Note 5, meaning smaller icons and UI elements.
.IconBackgrounds - enables homescreen and app drawer icons background like it was in Marshmallow Beta.
.ModePreviewTablet - enables additional "Reading mode" in display options. It dims screen so I don't recommend using it on bright daylight because it can be harder to see assets on screen.
.networkconnect.NetworkManagerActivity - holy **** this one is nice. Allows you to select which app can use WiFi and mobile data. Also it allows you to select which apps can use data even after data usage warning is shown.
.RunningServices - shows running services, like in Developers Menu
.Settings$AirCmdSettingsActivity - S-Pen Air Command setting. It won't work since S6/S7 doesn't support S-Pen functionality.
.Settings$MemorySettingsActivity - Shows RAM usage options like on stock Marshmallow, at least I think. Very helpful for troubleshooting misbehaving apps or battery consumption.
.Settings$ZenModeSettingsActivity - it seems like this is Do Not Disturbed (DND) on steroids. You can add additional rules and select which events can have priority.
.UsageStatsActivity - shows usage for every app on phone. It lists app name, Last time app was used and for how long.
.wifi.WifiConfigInfo - very detailed info about configured WiFi networks.
System UI
.settings.BrightnessDialog - shows small slider for brightness
.DessertCase - old KitKat hidden animation from About
.egg.MLandActivity - hidden MM game
List will be updated with new discoveries.
Link for the widget please?
I am not able to locate it will Google search.
it´s a widget of nova launcher...just add the widget to homescreen
