Hi Folks,
MOD for JB 4.1.1
I made this experiment to have the multiwindow interface from Note10.1 JB leak for my N7000 and by luck and a bit of guts, it worked and it looks awesome on my note1. I was just wondering if it could work on note2 using the same idea that I discuss on my thread. I don't have a note2 so I can not test it but I wanted to share the idea in your forum thinking maybe somebody might have the guts to try and explore. It's a learning process for me. I'm sure there are among you who are on the same learning process.
I think the N7100 already have all the necessary lib files for Note10.1-style multiwindow interface. All you need is to copy the missing permission files from the Note10.1 and find a suitable systemui. With the note1, the missing permission files are com.sec.feature.minimode_tray and com.sec.feature.multiwindow.tablet in the /system/etc/permissions folder. I also enabled the nav bar to access the miniapp drawer by editing build.prop and adding qemu.hw.mainkeys with value 0 and change the ro.sf.lcd_density to 213. With the note1, the suitable dpi was between 200 to 213. Then I copied the systemui,apk and seclauncher2.apk from the Galaxy Tab 2 7" and overwrite the ones on my note1 in /system/app folder. Of course, whenever you copy or change files in the /system folder you need to set the right file permissions, normally -rw-r--r--. With the N7100, you need to find the right dpi, you can try 200, maybe less, maybe more. You need to be on a rooted deodex rom and make a nandroid backup before you do this and install another launcher like apex or nova in case the systemui or tw launcer forecloses so that you can be able to change the dpi to another value until you find the sweet spot. When it finally booted without systemui error, I know it finally worked. After that, all I did was swap the apps from the TAB 2 7" and Note10.1 to my note1 one at a time to see which works on my note1, some works, some don't and found modded apps on this thread most of which works on my note1. That's it fellows. Take a leap.
Attached are the files I have used for my mod on note1 and I believe it would also work on note2 by using a dpi of 192. It is not a CWM flashable file. You will need to extract the file and manually copy to specified directory as described here or according to the folder structure of the extracted zip file.
Procedure:
1. Requirement: N7100 Jelly Bean 4.1.1 rooted and deodexed with unlimited apps multiwindow mod installed. Please make a nandroid backup first so you can return to your previous state in case you need/want to.
2. Install another launcher like Apex or Nova as a failsafe in case TW Launcher forecloses.
3. Install another keyboard and enable it in Settings in case the stock keyboard does not work at 192 dpi.
4. Download SystemUI.apk, SecLauncher2.apk and SecBrowser.apk and copy to /system/app folder overwriting the stock files using Solid Explorer/Root Explorer or any file manager that has root access and set file permission property to -rw-r-r (644).
5. Download permissions.zip below, extract and copy just the contents to /system/etc/permissions folder and set file permission property to -rw-r-r (644).
6. Install build prop editor from the Play Store. Run Build Prop Editor and change ro.sf.lcd.density to 192.
Then add new property: qemu.hw.mainkeys with value 0.
7. Reboot phone and explore. The tray bar at the bottom controls the window layout so if the current layout is not dual-mode then using the flashbar panel to open apps in multiview (that is dual-mode) would not work. It takes a while getting familiar with the interface so take your time.
8. Download modded apps from the Note10.1 forum or maybe mod your own using the guide located in the same thread. You can also use the modded 240 dpi apps as alternatives or import the stock apps from TAB 2 7" and Note10.1 and see which one works.
As always, I am not responsible if you brick your phone. Do it at your own risk.
UPDATE:
So one member - f3w1n - has confirmed he was able to make the mod work on his note2 using 192 dpi and is in the process of exploring the apps that would work from the note10.1 on his note2. See post #10.
MOD for JB 4.1.2
The difference between this mod and the 4.1.1 is that there is no longer a tray/nav bar and that there is only one window layout, that is floating, movable, resizable windows, fullscreen and back and forth, and that there is no need to modify the manifest files of apps just like they do in Note10.1 to work on multiview because almost all apps can be resized but not all apps are supposed to look nice and work on window mode. Some apps are not intended by their developers to work and look good on window mode. The flashbar panel no longer works as I said earlier because there is only one window layout - floating windows. The mod is already working for me in the N7000 on this thread .
1. Requirements: N7100 phone with rooted deodex JB 4.1.2 with unlimited multiwindows mod installed. You can use most custom 4.1.2 roms which already have the unlimited apps multiwindow mod built in. Make a nandroid backup to be safe and backup your apps and data with Titanium Backup/Ultimate Backup,etc.
2. Install an alternative launcher like Apex, Nova, ADW or whatever that supports multidpi just in case stock launcher forecloses. Install another keyboard and enable it in Settings in case the stock keyboard does not work at 192 dpi.
3. Install build prop editor from the play store and edit ro.sf.lcd_density = 192.
4. Download the permission.zip file below and extract it. Copy just one file: com.sec.feature.multiwindow.tablet.xml and place it in /system/etc/permissions folder with -rw-r-r (644) permission using Solid Explorer/Root Explorer/Root Browser Lite/Es Explorer. This is the file that makes it all work. Then delete the file com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml or just rename it to something else.
5. Download the SecLauncher2.apk below which I took from the TAB 2 7" as the stock launcher is not suited for this mod. Make a backup of the stock launcher. Now copy the SecLauncher2.apk to the /system/app folder with -rw-r-r (644) permission.
6. Download the SecBrowser.apk which I took from the Note10.1 as the stock browser won't run on this mod. Make a backup of the stock browser. Now copy SecBrowser.apk to the /system/app folder with -rw-r-r (644) permission.
7. Reboot your phone and explore - open apps, resize them, move them, open multiple apps, and so forth. Let the rom settle for a while as it builds the cache before it resumes the roms usual speed. As in 4.1.1 mod, you can use apps from TAB2 7" and Note10.1 as well as the modded 240 dpi apps in N7100 forum.

Oh this is friggin' SWEET!!! Man I hope you can get this working on the Note 2 soon. I think it would be especially useful on a much larger screen, like via HDMI on a docking station or something. Hope you can get this to work in TW as well.
Does it affect battery life?
If it needs root that will be the reason for me to try rooting my Note 2

You have to overwrite the apps that you have attached in the OP, change the lcd density in build.prop to a maximun of 192 (a bit small but its ok) and ad this in the build.prop aswell: qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
So far all is working excenp samsung keyboard and some apps look strange (should be fixed using the note 10.1 ones. Also i think that there is a post with resaizable stock note 2 apps)
When i have time im going to download the jb leak of the note 10.1 and try some apps

If your rooted you can use Root Explorer to edit the build.prop. Have you tried that?
*edit* hmm, I just looked inside there and don't see that line anywhere. It would most likely read 320 or higher also. 240 was used for 4.3" screens

I did not find LCD Density line in build.prop. When I tried using the LCD Density app to change to 320 it would not boot properly (stuck at Oppo logo). Having a more appropriate number would make this thing awesome. Hoping someone figures this out.

Be careful with using the apps to change the LCD Density. That put my oppo into a boot loop. I did not see a line with LCD Density in the build.prop. I wonder if we can just add one.

As long as you don't use any app to "set on boot" you should be able to play around and find a density that is stable and works. Its been suggested that OPPO add a way to change this.. we'll if they do

I read this from other apps, not from this one. I used this app on my HTC HD2 with JB before it crashed. Now I wait for my Find 5 and also would like to change the dpi. I see anyone in the Oppo forum that used a launcher with dpi changer. Look there into the Homescreen thread.

Hi everyone,
at the very end of build.prop, add ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx, I tried from 300-440 and they worked out fine. I did reboot to cwm and than simply did reboot system. To make sure the changes made are read by the phone. Sometimes earlier doing this on h7 g3, the changes were not read by only rebooting.
You have to be root and you need explorer and texteditor.

Do you mean I have to add the ro.sf.lcd_density lin to build.prop, because I can't seem to find a builder.prop file. I suppose that was a typo.

Thank you correcting this. Of cause it is build.prop in the system folder.
I corrected this now in my previous post.
cptmerget.
Now that we have 4.4.2 ROM (test build though) how about focus on getting goodies from Note10.1 (2014 Edition) like air command etc. As we know the features for the Note10.1 (2012 edition) would be limited even in the final build of this ROM it is upon the mighty developers here at XDA to make our very capable device perform its optimal.
The snote mod from 2014 note10.1 developed by eric-mod. This is not my work but I am simply putting all mods for convinience.

Another mod to add floating multi windows against just 2 windows. Contributed by 'Xperiacle'
Only for rooted ones running this rom.
Download an build.prop editor from the play store or sth like that and change the following lines to :
"ro.product.name=viennaltexx" and "ro.product.device=viennalte"
"ro.product.model=SM-P905"
This will activate some hidden function. You'll get the Note PRO recent apps and notification toggle icons!

you need to open build.prop editor and go to edit, change values and then save. check with root checker and it will show your device as SM-P905.

HI. I don’t know why, but Samsung did not add multi user support on our beloved note5.
If u want to try it here is the guide to set it up.
I tested and confirm 100% working. This is applicable for all variants.
1. Open up root explorer
2. Navigate to /system
3. Paste in the following line at the bottom of your build.prop
Code:
# Multi Users
Fw.max_users=3
Fw.show_multiuserui=1
Thanks
Sound awesome
Thanks for posting this.

This is the code I used.
#Multi User

fw.show_multiuserui=1
fw.show_hidden_users=1
fw.power_user_switcher=1
It worked, and I could successfully set up different users, and boot into their profiles.
The only thing missing is the button to switch the users after setting them up.
Not like in the video, on my device, this yellow button is missing!
<- how it looks in the video
I even tried to change [fw.max_users=30] to 3 or 5, but with no success.
