multitasking in xoom? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there, just wonder about multitasking here in xoom, it would be really usefull to run two apps on the same screen.
Any ideas if these will be availabe in JB or throw some launchersmetc?

Jellybean does not support this, but if I remember correctly there was a add on being developed that supported this but I can't find the link now.

Maybe Cornerstone
I think you are looking for Cornerstone.
Look here: http://www.onskreen.com/cornerstone/index.php
And here you can find a Xoom ICS ROM version:

Lets hope developers will include these in futre here in jb...
I read some time ago about some app that has the featre that lets you divide screen in three parts and use three difeents apps but cant find it anywhere now...
@dclas
The ICS link directs to empy folder - I've seen it before, think it was from 2011 or so...re cornerstone, read thats its not completed and has more bugs than jb and its not stable... but thanks for links

It is corner stone that you are thinking of, and no it isn't done yet. Still highly buggy the last I heard.

From what I heard even on the Galaxy Note 10.1 the multitasking is awful and laggy

Ok wait wait wait!! JellyBean for Infuse discussion

Ok if jellybean is only a minor update to ics and not a total update, couldn't we in a way have that on our Infuse? Just a guess and wonder because if that's true then our devs could once again stomp Sammy feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, it's just a guess after all.

we will see in time. if the kernel end of it is close i think it can be done. the coming months will be exciting. the dev on this device has finally taken off. i know entropy works from source so it might take a bit of time before it becomes reality but i can't wait to see what happens. i just hope the new features dont bog the phone down, we are working with limited resources. i didn't think i'd be saying that any time soon since the market apps haven't really advanced but there is so much in the way of new interface features in jelly bean as far as multi tasking that it might be a ram hog and really benefit from multi core. it's possible jellybean will prompt me to get a newer phone but not imediately.
Your right only time will tell, but I see it as it may be able to be done because after all, everyone said we would never have working BT and now we do, people said the infuse would never see ICS and now we have a few ICS ROM's! I will never rule it out as impossible

there are hurdles but now there is experience and new understanding in the trouble areas. but it was the same way with the galaxy s and gingerbread. even though the hardware was almost identical to the nexus s it took much longer to get a release quality version of cm7 than most snapdragon powered devices, there were betas and early ports with no recovery mode done as proof of concept but the official release took some time. the filesystem, the bootloaders, and the way the kernel starts up is all different from the nexus and that took time to safely port. then with the infuse that was all figured out but the hardware kept throwing curveballs. i wasn't sure if we would see the day that bt was functional and hardware acceleration was working as it should but i felt we would see ics in some capacity since a lot of stuff can be emulated. now i think jellybean might happen but it might finally date the single core chip, single channel ram, and limited ram as multi tasking becomes better in android.

Yes, it is. Check the Dev forum.

I read that someone is working on a port from the gnex to i9000 could we use that as a base?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
wouldn't it be better to wait for the nexus s dump, as that would be more identical and thus easier to port to GS1 devices?
*shrug*
yeah i think a nexus s port would be better but a source build is best. a port from a dump would likely be more proof of concept than a daily driver.
and as far as project butter goes, it might be a double edged sword. i'm sure the phone will continue to feel smooth for the average user but power users will multitask more. we may get more out of the phone than we have before but at the same time it might be easier to demonstrate the difference in newer devices. jelly bean might get the most out of the infuse but the infuse might not get the most out of jelly bean but i can be wrong on this. it's just opinion based on no real knowledge of how they plan to get smother performance or how that affects the resources the infuse has available....
Yea. it will only be a few weeks till source. And with the progress with ics I'm sure it won't take long to build. And entropy said he only builds from source. I'm sure he or nun would test it out.

MIUI is interesting, but does it really afford any advantages with a tablet? Do you use your 7.7 as a regular phone as well?

Both of those roms are for 6800 only. I'm using locerras cm9 which is great.
I've been using miui since sgs1 days and still using on my sgs3. Its pretty and more refined looking compared to cm9. No disrespect intended.

MIUI would be nice. +1
https://github.com/MiCode
You are all free to do it.
Now seriously, if no developer is interested on working with it, no developer will work with it, and it won't be ported to the 7.7. Since MIUI has been closed source (despite being basically a fork of CM for a long time), people tend to dislike it. A lot. If you believe it's worth to port it, be aware that you either need to do it yourself OR try to convince some specific developer to do it.
I wouldn't hold my breath, though. Even the much bigger CM10.x has only a couple of developers on our tabs (three, if you count aorth who uses the very similar Tab 7 Plus and builds for the 7.7 occasionally).

For those that have taken the leap and tried the new version of android, what do you guys think of it so far?

I think the early work some of the developers have done here has given us an early preview of what we are in for. It looks great so far, best and smoothest my nexus has been.
I think you'll get a better idea though if you read the threads found in the developers section. When reading a thread titled "jelly bean" I get all excited expecting to find OTA is here and ready to flash. Instead I'm leaving my opinion on an SDK based version of 4.1 I feel like a child who just found out Santa has still not been.

Honestly, I'm not noticing a drastic difference but I've only tried the port so I'll reserve my judgement until a full asop or OTA arrives.

im still on Gnex port with sevice pack4.
what i can say is, that for now im in love with JB...
Those animations, smoothness, speed, new notification[ although i would prefer i u could take a peak with one finger, instead of two, cuz u cant do it with one hand}.
MULTITASKING- first time since ive started using android, i can finally say; ITS WORKING- fast and smooth..
not sold for now on GOOGLE NOW, ive found it not useful for me at all, i would like it much more interacting with other apps.
BTW jelly bean will shine on new phones, our is bit outdated ...
Can we keep all JB releated posts into the one JB related thread here --> Jellybean Countdown to OTA Thread: Nexus S Edition
Thanks.

Google Now for ICS?

Hey Infusers,
I was perusing the app section of the general Android forum here and found this project which I think is worth looking into.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1747224
How can we be sure this works on our device without risking a brick? And which ROMs are considered AndroidOpenSourceProject? I'm currently running CM9, am I good?
Thought it would interest some of us still waiting for Jelly Bean to become a little more stable. ^___^

Unless they changed something, it definitely works with our device. There was a post on lifehacker about this like the day after jelly bean was released. I had it on my infuse running ics up til switching to jb. U used to have to change a build prop setting but I think I heard that is what changed with the new package. And there wasn't working voice search at that time.
But as the previous poster said, I would just switch to jb. It has almost same functionality of ics.

About the swipe typing..don't know how far you guys are in porting 4.2 to this device...or even if it is possible
Cus I tried to install the apk on a 4.1 ROM and sometimes it works, but most of the time you just see the line but no letters are selected :/
So, is there a chance to see 4.2 on this device or at least somehow a working swype apk for 4.1?
But so far I gotta thank you developers too for the great selection of JB ROMs and also the other versions too
And also I think its just awesome that you could get CM, AOKP and paranoid working in one single ROM
