[ XXLT4 ] Floating MultiWindows: ANY DPI with 4 MultiWindow Layouts

XXLT4 Version: (May or may not work on LT5) Use at your own RISK.
DOWNLOAD - Use this if your system apps are in stock default locations (/system/app folder) and some apps in preload partition. Please check with your ROM dev the location of system apps and rearrange the apps in the zip file to correspond to your ROM.
DOWNLOAD - Use this if all your system apps are in Preload partition.
HOW TO INSTALL?
1. REquirements: ROOTED DEODEX LT4 ROM with busybox (preferably not heavily modified as this mod may pose conflicts with existing features of your ROM, try a stock LT4 Rom like thaidai's to start with to make sure this mod is working and maybe you can try other custom LT4 Roms later). I have not tested this mod with LT5 so use with LT5 at your own risk. Do not flash on ODEX roms whether stock or custom.
2. Use my included app Floating MW Control to explore the features of this mod.
3. Please refer to old post on LSZ below on how to use the bundled apps like swipepad and for tips and important info to remember.
4. Enjoy for at least a week or two before I release the NEXT Floating MultiWindows MOD using the FlashBar as launcher.
NOTE:
* When running Multiwindow Manager app, NEVER ever allow it to patch anything, just choose the "never" option if asked, otherwise you will lose multi-dpi feature.
* Never multiwindow-enable stock Contacts or Dialer app to avoid FC.
* When changing DPI, TW Launcher may FC so it is better to install alternative launcher. You can also easily reset TW Launcher with Floating MW Control app.
Features:
Same as XXLSZ version with:
Phablet UI starting at 230 dpi (for those with poor eyesight)
Skip Track
Lockscreen Torch
Crt-Off Effect (kernel dependent)
Only 3-Way (not 4-Way) Extended Restart Menu (sorry)
Long-press menu to kill apps
Screenshot on Power Menu
Enable/Disable Minimize Button
Ink Effect with app (thanks to mythrandyr)
Center Clock
Lock and Recents button on notification panel
Smooth scroll
Volume step increase
Media scanner fix
USB OTG wakelock fix
Multi-DPI TW Launcher (needs to reset when moving from one DPI to another)
Fixed floating window size of Gallery
Includes Note 8 Browser
Multi-DPI Flashbar
maybe some more...
OLD POST on LSZ version below: Read for reference and some important info:
It seems the tide of JB leaks and official updates has finally subsided. You must have tried every available ROM and every awesome MOD/THEMES out there. Well, Guys and Girls, after three weeks of lonesome use, I want to finally share my ALL NEW Floating MultiWindows MOD - more awesome than the previous versions and for the moment only available for the NOTE N7000. If you used and like my old floating multiwindows mod, I am sure you will love this one.
SO WHAT'S NEW?
a. Floating Multiwindows - ANY DPI even in phone mode
b. 4-Layout MultiWindows to Control Floating Windows
c. Movable, Resizable, Minimizable, Maximizable Floating Windows
d. Switch between Floating and Stock MultiWindows
e. Switch between DPIs with ease - from 320 phone to 240 to 213 phablet and anything in between
f. Specially modded Multi-DPI flashbar that works with MultiWindow Manager app (no need for unlimited multiwindow hack).
g. Choose which apps to enable/disable MultiWindow Support
h. Multi-Instance support for some apps - run the same app multiple times
i. Use ADDON APPS to make your Floating MultiWindow experience more awesome.
ADDON APPS:
1. MultiWindow Switcher (by me)
2. Simple UI Switcher (by me)
3. Swipepad - free app from the Play Store to act as a multiwindow launcher
4. MultiWindow Manager app - free app from the Play Store by my friend bjbinc from the Note10.1 forum : use this to enable/disable multiwindow apps. The Pro Key available from the Play Store allows you to create application and internet shortcuts on the homescreen to launch automatically in window mode and ability to launch apps multiple times.
5. LMT launcher - Thanks to noname81 for permission to include his awesome app for those who may not have heard or used it before. This app gives you PIE Control like Paranoid Android and more advanced features that makes Floating MultiWindow multitasking like a breeze.
6. Xposed Framework Installer - Thanks to rovo89 for permission to include and make freely available this awesome framework.
7. Xposed App Setting module - Thanks to tungstwenty for permission to include and make freely available this incredible app that allows you to set specific DPI/Layouts/Permissions/Fonts for apps the way you want (subject to app compatibility).
8. ADW Launcher - use this or other alternative launchers like APEX, NOVA, etc. as subtitute for TW Launcher if you constantly change DPI. TW Launcher does not like multiple DPI. But if you stick with one DPI then you can use TW Launcher.
* I am sure many of you knows of other great apps that work well with this mod. Please let me know and I will list them in the OP.

Enough of the Intros. Let's get down to the real thing.
REQUIREMENTS: Rooted Deodex XXLSZ ROM (not all XXLSZ ROMs maybe compatible).
WARNING: Make a Nandroid Backup and other backups that you can think of. S-H-I-T happens. It is better to be safe. This may make your phone unstable or the worst case, this may brick your phone. Use it at your own risk. This may also break other mods that you have already installed.
DOWNLOAD and flash thru CWM/TWRP recovery and reboot.
Please read whole OP post for tips and how tos in using this mod. Try to learn and use the ADDON apps mentioned above and included in the flashable zip. .
1. First run MultiWindow Manager app (grant root permission). The app will ask to PATCH the flashbarservice file but don't let it patch the file. Choose the NEVER option. This is because I have specially modded the Flashbarservice file to read the csc file like the NOTE 10.1 and also because the flashbarservice is modded to be multi-dpi. After that, choose which apps you want to enable multiwindow support and reboot. Only apps you enabled with Multiwindow Manager will launch in floating window. Make sure you enable Swipepad as Swipepad needs multiwindow support to lauch apps in window mode.
2. Launch and configure Swipepad. Please learn how to use it. There are Youtube videos available.
3. If you want PIE Control and easy navigation between apps and recent apps, use LMT launcher and please learn to use and configure it.
4. Use MultiWindow Switcher app to switch between Floating and Stock multiwindows.
5. Use Simple UI Switcher to go from one DPI to another. For example, from 320 dpi to 213 dpi.
6. Install Xposed Framework and App Settings Module. Please learn how to use these awesome apps because it makes using other DPIs with ability to retain the app layouts you want. (subject to app support) DOWNLOAD LINK and INFO HERE.
7. As I said, TW Launcher does not like change so use ADW Launcher or other multidpi launchers like NOVA, APEX, etc. as default and just create a custom shortcut for TW Launcher on the homescreen in case you want to use TW Launcher. Personally, I deleted TW Launcher for stability.
SPECIAL Thanks to nanomet for all the help and support. Also Thanks goes to this awesome community and to all those who have come before me like eybee, robbie, ianbbaa, dagr8, the revenge team for seeking to push the limits of what the NOTE1 can do and many others I may not have mentioned. THANKS all.
PARSA THEME from our good friend kmokhtar79. Thanks.
CREDITS: BIG THANKS to robbie hood, bjbinc, mythrandyr, kmokhtar79 and a lot more others to whom some of those mods included here are derived. Please let me know by PM if I may have unintentionally not included your name in the credits. THANKS to xda community and all who are part of it.

TROUBLESHOOTING FAQ:
1. Why is the dialer layout messed up or having problems with stock dialer?
- To fix stock dialer layout, don't enable multiwindow support for contacts or dialer as they are not meant to be in multiwindow mode. If you use the dialer in window mode, when making or receiving calls, dialer will FCs. If you want to multiwindow enabled dialer or contacts, use the tablet version dialer and contacts apps from NOTE 10.1.
2. Having trouble using MultiWindow Manager app?
- Make sure when launching the app for the first time, grant supersu permission. Never let it patch any file when the app asks you to. If you still having trouble launching it, uninstall it, then reinstall it again. You can extract the apk file from the flashable file and install it like any other app or you can go to the Play Store and download and install it. It is a free app unless you buy the Pro key which gives you more features.
3. In floating window mode, how do you launch apps if there is no multiwindow bar like in Note 10.1?
- As I said, this is just the first phase of several mods. In the meantime, you can use swipepad as a multiwindow launcher. Or if you buy the pro version of the Multiwindow Manager app, it will allow you to create shortcuts on the homescreen to launch apps automatically in window mode just like using a desktop PC.
4. What is LMT?
- LMT is a gesture controlled launcher that gives you PIE Control for navigation and launching your favourite apps. It is a very advanced app with many options and there are Youtube videos on how to configure and use it. You dont have to use it if you dont want to or can't be bothered to learn how to configure and use it but you are missing something in your floating multiwindow experience.
5. Where is my minimize button?
- If you installed the mod then install another mod on top of it, then there is a chance that you may have overwritten some files necessary for the whole floating multiwindow mod to work as intended. To restore, just flash the mod again.

Now this is what i call full utilization of our resources !!
am gonna look for my back up of my last LSC .........

I guess it is possible for the note2 given the proper patch for your frameworks but I am not sure because I can't test it as I don't have a note2 or know anybody who owns a note2.

Once again, awesome work by xpericale. This is just an observation which may or may not prove useful. I just bought the t-mobile GN2 (for a second time) since it now could upgrade such that multi-view works. For fun, while using the multiview split screen I tried to use "wave launcher" (which has some similarities to SwipePad in that you can launch application from swipe gesture). It turns out, if you open an app like terminal it fills the screen. When you exit the terminal, it puts you back where you were with the split screen. Now if instead you open an app like floating browser or hovernote using wave launcher it works on top of the multiview but is re-sizable so it does not fill the screen. So the multiview can coexist with some floating apps. Another weird thing is that some of the floating apps actually appeared in the multi-view launcher but I didn't put them there!. Indeed, I could launch the floating app from this launcher and still use the multiview feature at the same time. Anyways, I hope this is not too off topic or tangential to the thread. I just just thought it cool if in the future one could simultaneously use multiview feature and something like swipepad or wave launcher to open other apps such that they can appear in floating windows.

I flashed part one and then part two in cwm, rebooted
and
I can confirm it works on SVA UBLS4 v5.1 :laugh:
Big Thanks to xperiacle for this peace of gold :good:

Thank you very much, I love this MOD....
Working fine for me in Barebone XXLSC 213 DPI.... until i made first reboot... later bootloop
Thanks

great work, thanks,
I was on floating multiwindow (oldstyle) with 213dpi. Minimising is fine add, but it is a pity that minimised apps disappear when any app is maximized.
Do you have any solution or tip how to deal with it?
Changing launcher also cause disappearing.
Big advantage is that long press for preview is back.
samsung galaxy note N7000 /xxlsc/213dpi/floating multiwindow old-> new

for me it doesn´t work on 240 dpi,
I can´t see the Icon to change in Window Mode :crying:
Edit: sorry to say, but it doesn´t work correctly on my SVA,
got a few random reboots, and finally stuck on Bootlogo :crying:
so I restored my nandroid backup.
Iim still happy with my old version
Maybe I have to wait to the next update :fingers-crossed:

Adding Some or Unlimited Multiwindow Apps

While trying to port the pre-release Note 8 firmware on my Note N7000, I was able to try and tinker with the Note 8 features specially the Multiwindow feature which is similar to Note 1, Note 2 and SGS3. There are several options to add Multiwindow Apps to the multiwindow tray, specially if your device is rooted. And if you are not rooted, your only hope is to modify the apps' android manifest file or wait for some devs to mod the apps for you.
********************************************************************************************************************************
Let's start with ROOTED devices.
Option 1: Use Multiwindow Manager app from the Play Store or visit this THREAD for discussions on on issues and how to enable some or all apps. When installing the app, it will ask you to patch the FlashBarService.apk but just choose never option. The patch is only for Note1, Note2 and Sgs3 devices as they don't have the necessary code to read the CSC Multiwindow addon apps.
Option 2: This is actually how the App referred to in option 1 enables or disables apps for multiwindows. In the /system/csc folder, there is a file named feature.xml or other.xml. You can directly edit this file to add more multiwindow apps. I have an earlier NOTE 10.1 THREAD for this. You can visit my thread to know how it works and how to manually do what the Multiwindow Manager app does with ease.
Option 3: Install Xposed Framework and install Multiwindow module. This will give you unlimited multiwindow apps. You can find the related thread HERE and HERE to download the latest versions of said apps.
Option 4: To enable unlimited apps, FlashBarService.apk and services.jar must be modded which will have to wait for now due to absence of deodexed custom roms to be modded. And if you want to mod the said files, then you can find a GUIDE here.
*********************************************************************************************************************************
Now for NON-ROOTED devices, there is only one option I know of. This option is also applicable for rooted devices. To enable apps, the apps' AndroidManifest.xml file must be modified. A guide is available HERE along with some modded apps already.
*********************************************************************************************************************************
Please THANK the respective devs who have brought you these tools/apps/guides. The only way for these mods/guides/tools to keep coming is if there are generous devs who are willing to donate some of their free time, effort and work to this community. At least show your appreciation or encouragement.
DISCLAMER: As I don't have this device, I have not tested it but it does work on my ported Note 8 rom on my Note N7000. I am not responsible for any damage this tools may do. Please use at your own risk.

I did option 1, it does work. I was able to add several new apps to the Multiwindow menu.
However, something weird's happening. When I try to launch the second app, it no longer is able to set itself as a resizable column. Now its just a square "popup" style window, and isn't movable or resizable after I drop it on the screen. Anyone else see this behavior?
As a sidenote, I also switched my LCD Density to 170 beforehand as described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243262

How did you do option 1? When I try to set it up I i get a popup that flashbarservices needs to modified but the following option does not have the note 8.0 in the device list. Did you chose another device from that list?

No patch needed for option 1, just install the app and when prompted for the model just cancel.

Worked fine for me. I used option 1 and did not apply the modification.
Edit: Just bought pro to show my support to the developer and I enabled fat restart which was a pro feature. It gave me a popping up error which looped. Just an fyi.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using XDA Premium HD app

Yep plus one. Did option one and didn't do the patch. Seems to work for all my apps so far.

Do these options give you the pop up window like Note 10.1 or just uses the Multiview side by side? Did they not do pop up natievly due to screen size?

Nope no pop-up. They are side to side and adjustable. I am sure the size had something to do with it.

That's a bit of a shame, I just saw the pop up windows, that'd be useful.

Hey, I used option 1 and it works perfectly fine to add multiwindow apps.

Note 8 unrooted Multiwindow
I bought Galaxy note 8 (WIFI+3G) , I need to keep the device none rooted to benefit from my company application which don't work on rooted devices for security reasons.
I tried option 2, but couldn't find any of "featuers.xml" or "others.xml" --> Would appreciate if you can guide me on the new location of the file or the new name.
Thanks

dumb question from a dummie... what's the level of effort to get popup support on all apps? I'm using the Popup Browser app from another thread (I believe its ported from the Note 10.1, but not sure), and Popup Note itself seem to work.
Would this be a mod? A new rom? Just curious.
Nevermind, found it! Looks like someone added to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243142&page=2 with the info a few days ago. Didn't notice before I posted.

[GT-P6200][GT-P6210][True Tablet UI][4 Way Reboot][Deodexed ONLY!]

This is for DeOdexed XXMC3 GT-P6200 AND DeOdexed GT-P6210 XXMD3 Only!!
For this Mod to work, you will need:
1.) Use a 3rd Party Launcher, (Nova,Apex,Trebuchet,etc.)
2.) You will need to make this your default launcher.
3.) Go to Settings and Force Stop TouchWiz Home Launcher I also cleared data/cache)
After this you can reboot and install this mod.
From my own experience and research on the Tab 2 forums, this may be the only way this works.

Warning: Unconfirmed with stock Touchwiz Launcher, Please download both .zips as a precaution.
Nao with 4 Way Reboot! Sure Scripts and Quick Boot maybe be easier/faster but it feels so much better integrated. Also Quick Boot doesn't go to download mode I dont think.
For Hot Boot to work you need to symlink PKILL with BusyBox Installer (recommend: JRummy) as mentioned : here
Known issues:
Alarm clock is distorted pretty bad when alarm goes off, but you can still easily slide to disable it..
To Fix: Install Xposed Installer with PerAppSettings .apk , set alarm clock DPI to 160 and Screen(dpi) to 600x1024.
Lockscreen missed call/unread text slider is distorted in portrait only.
Fix: Using Xposed per app settings, set Android OS DPI to 160 and Screen(dpi) to 600x1024.
Flash .zip in CWM or TWRP recovery. This will wipe davik-cache.
may 16 fixed scipt umount should have been umount. oops..
Enjoy guys.

reserved for future. thanks.

source/credit for 4 way reboot: here
I don't see any good reason for Samsung not shipping JB with Tab UI.

Yes, it did.

Well after factory reset, these .zips seem to do nothing.. even with nova launcher. Strange indeed.
will do some more testing..
so far.. I think I'm going to have to rule this out , not working with touchwiz launcher.
as added to original post, this mod seems to only work on custom launchers which are set as default.
Also got some new wallpaper with this mod, see below.

Thank you for your work! It work great, just wondering is your mod adjust any dpi?

No dpi changes, use xposed if you are interested.
Is it working great with custom launcher?, if so can we get the name of the one you are using, also have you attempted to use touchwiz launcher?
Iwouldnt even recommend trying to go back, you may get stuck..
will add this and recommend force stopping twhome launcher to OP later, busy now.
thanks guys.

Multiwindow Mod
attn: chrisrotolo
Although I'm sure this is not the proper place to ask (and apologize if it annoys the op) but since you seem to be the only active developer for our device who is still attempting to modify stock i just wanted to know if u have spent any amount of time looking into porting the multiwindow mod to the P6200? Im not sure how familiar u are with the two distinct versions so far which can best be described as the 4.11 or phone/flashbar version and the 4.1.2 or tablet/floating windows version. At this point to get either working would be wonderful & a goal i'd be willing to brick my tab about(well maybe not literally but sum sacrifices must be made in the name of science...lol). Of course i've attempted the simpler solutions such as adding the permissions file & multiwindows jar which is enough to get the checkbox to appear in settings as well as the view selector controls to show up where the miniapps bar is located but obviously none of my attempts have been 100% successful. So far i have baksmali'd the various jars and have found almost all of the functionality to be intact when compared to the NOTE 10.1 which has the newest /preferred version of the multiwindow option but I must admit that i'm a complete newb when it comes to code so i thought i would seek sum assistance...that's if u even have the desire to dedicate sum time to tackle the task. If not, I only ask that u point me in the direction of someone with the time/knowledge/willingness to get it done because at this point i have become determined to do so. I have however done the least i can do which is read essentially EVERY post of EVERY thread on EVERY variation of the mod in an attempt to get an understanding of what i may be missing so below i will link to a couple of those of particular interests where they've had both success & failure.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056515
^this is for the original note & although it includes uneccessary(but cool) extras this mod has not only been a success but would be the ideal version to get working imho
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024227
^this a how to of of the older version of the mod for the galaxy s2(which as u know is the closest phone to our own device). Most of it applies to the newer version as well except the flashbar.apk itself which is not used anymore(i think...lol)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988329
^this is the best breakdown i've found of the 2 different implementations & is actually written by the same guy that started the first thread i posted although again this is for the note/note 2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049516
^ even though after almost 100 pages of posts this one is still a failed attempt i felt it was important to note because these guys have dug through the code EXTENSIVELY so if it is in fact a deeper issue i'm sure they would be more familiar with what WONT work and plus the fact that it's a sgs2 variant i fear we may be in a similar situation.
p.s. i aplogogize about the huge post ahead of time & thx in advance for any insight u may offer

Thanks.
I breifly glanced at the idea before.
I'm not real interested in the use/function actually.
I am interested in learning the prot/development part however. I also do not have much free time because of my job and married life.
When I do get a chunk of time, I will look into this for you and whoever may be interested.
I did see the SungSonic ROM at Tab 2 has an 'alfa5' version of multiwindow mod.
In the meantime, I encourage you to continue trying and feel free to email me if you need any assistance.
Thanks, Cheers.

Error Status 6
Every time I attempt flashing the zip I get an error status 6 and aborts the install. I did set Apex launcher as my default launcher and cleared data for touchwiz. I also tried flashing the stock phablet zip and that worked then I cleared data factory reset and flashed the zip with the same status 6 error and went into a boot loop, any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

try download again, maybe old file update script was missing a " or ) or blank line at end.
thanks.
also see if you can check log in recovery let me know if it says anything.

Please for p6210 official jb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2278740

Edit:
Done , wow that was fast.
Anyways, please read instructions, also download StockPhablet.zip as a precaution.
Let me know how it's working and Enjoy your tab the way it was meant to be..

Chris,
I installed it on my 6210. It works fairly nicely.
However, there is a problem with the updater-script.
Line 6:

Needs to be
unmount("/data");
Thanks for mods. This and the ripple lock screen are really nice upgrades.

Thanks, both 6200 & 6210 script were misspelled, both fixed now. Sorry about that. Stock Phablet .zips look OK.

On my P6210, I noticed one bug in this mod: The notification panel grows over the top edge of the display in landscape mode when I have multiple notifications. I had the same problem using the Xposed TabletUI Trigger (which I tried before) mentioned in the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 forums.

Yes noticed that as well, im on PA ROM now so I cant try anything.
i would setting touchwiz home launcher and systemui to 160dpi and 600x1024.
The only thing i noticed going off screen is mostly the clock which isnt a huge deal.

[Q] Stock Android 4.1.2 rom for p6810 - Removing mobile no signal icon

Since I am only new to the forums I can't post in the Rom dev area.
I just installed Rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481828
I was wondering if anyone knows how to remove the mobile signal icon from the status bar. It's great to have the stock Samsung Android 4.1.2 on my Galaxy Tab 7.7 wifi model, even if it's not perfect.
I have root access, so if it's just a matter of removing an app, i can uninstall it.

I'm pretty sure the process will involve de/re-compiling etc. Maybe SystemUI.apk. If you have data options in your device settings menu, settings.apk might need to be looked at as well.
Edit: I will take a look at a few things when I return home (away working).
Priority (apart from family) is a P6810 SkyHigh JB kernel, then followed by possible stock ROM mods, tweaks, or maybe a even a SkyHigh custom ROM - just for fun. Maybe not too, supporting a release takes precious time and testing, which I have very little ATM. Kernel release and support will be enough.
But last priority will be looking at (trying) removing any P6800 specific parts from the firmware, providing they don't impact the ROM or 'negative' effect on performance.
Please post any other firmware observations that shouldn't be on our Wi-Fi model.
Thanks.

Excellent, saves me the time
But I think that's just cosmetic. We need to look deeper yet.

The following APK can be safely removed : /preload/symlink/system/app/secphone.apk
It will also stop the tablet to try to access any mobile signal... Which cannot be achieved anyway as it is only a wifi version... Thus draining the battery for no reason..

Thought there may be more to remove/edit, RIL etc, but it could just that simple. Thanks.

I just installed the new Multi Window version of the Rom, which is great. However, I was wondering how you enable the Split screen mode. The apps all launch in resizable Windows, so you can have many running, I click on the pin button (which somewhere I read might switch modes) but it doesn't seem to work.
Elsewhere, I read that you need to change the DPI of the tablet in the build.prop file? Mine is currently on 160, I think some said 176 might be required to activate the split screen?
Anyone know the answer to this?

-error-

could it work?

Sorry about the late reply. Computer HD crashed :/
Anyways here are the steps.
1)Decompile SystemUI.apk
2)Go to com/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/StatusBarPolicy.smali <---Make a backup of this file before proceeding.
3)Find 'phone_signal_2' and delete the invoke-virtual 'setIcon()' method after it. (The invoke-virtual setIcon() method MAY NOT be immediately after 'phone_signal_2'. There maybe other lines in between. DO NOT delete those.)
4)Repeat Step 3 for EVERY instance of 'phone_signal_2'.
5)Recompile SystemUI.apk(don't forget to delete classes.dex from the 'keep' folder )
6)Push it back to your phone and change permissions to rw-rw-r
7)Reboot & Enjoy the extra status bar space

EDIT:-Okay i absolutely did not notice the 4.1.2 :/
This mod was for gingerbread only. The files are very different in JB.
Process should be more or less the same but different files.

nice, so..what I need to try it?
can I connec the tab and modify this file?

I have played about, setting the dpi to 176 in build.prop does change it from windowed mode to split screen. However you need to change the default launcher from touchwiz before changing it from 160 to 176, as touchwiz is configured to only work at 160dpi, it crashes on any other dpi. The Samsung keyboard also has the same issue, so switch to google keyboard or SwiftKey before rebooting to bring the dpi into effect.
Also samsung calculator, camera and memo don't work at 176dpi. But if you get the photosphere camera from Android 4.3 from the s4 google edition it works.
I have seen that some have modified touchwiz to work at different dpi settings, so there might be another way to fix the Samsung apps.
If you change the dpi to 184/186, you get phablet mode for notifications, which looks more like the note 8 layout.
I think at different dpi the multi window changes mode. At 160 its like the note 10.1, with resizable Windows. At 176, its more like the note 8.
On a side note 176 dpi also fixed a bug in the aview app in the play store which would crash in portrait mode when launching videos from the Abc iview service.

how do you change this settings?

I changed the dpi by using es explorer from the play store, you can mount /system as read/write and then edit /system/build.prop
You set the lcd density to 176. Save and reboot. But make sure you change your launcher first, otherwise you will have touchwiz crashing. Another app that crashes when not running at 160 dpi is the Samsung task manager. But at 176 dpi, the split screen and windowed modes both work, the little pin in the left corner switches between modes
My next question if anyone knows. The v4 multiwindow systemui.apk, is different from the one in the p6810 rom, that is the one from the p6800 multiwindow post, if i replace my current systemui.apk, will this fix my not having split screen at 160 dpi?

I tried replacing systemui.apk, and this copy crashed, so I went back to the copy that came with the new Rom (the working copy is 4 mb, where as the one in v4 was about 2.5mb).
I tried 156dpi, as a test, and Touch Wiz and Samsung apps work fine at this DPI, they don't crash, but then the split screen bar doesn't show, but the apps launched in windows do seem to snap to the width of the screen at 156dpi. So I think the Touchwiz / Samsung apps have some sort of upper DPI limit coded into them. So, if anyone knows how to increase this to 176dpi, this would make the Rom perfect.
Samsung APK's that would need fixing from what I can see are
- Touchwiz
- Task Manager
- Camera
- Calculator
- Memo

Great news. I tried the modified systemui.apk and after it initially crashed after replacing the 4mb version, I decided to reboot anyway to see if it worked. It does, but better than that it works at 160dpi. Split screen works!
Also you need the double lcd dpi setting in build.prop for the split screen bar to work properly.
So don't worry about the initial crash, swap over. You also get the multi screen layout tool on the system bar. If you get the version from the p6810 stock android 4.1.2 thread it also eliminates the no mobile signal icon. Finally its almost perfect !

The latest Multi-Window ROM is really good.
I did some basic tests and it seems quite good.
Cannot believe Samsung aren't putting together a Jelly Bean ROM for P6810...
Anyway flashed this ROM and tested a few things.
Globally it seems very good.
I have spotted a few cosmetic issues but I guess this is because this ROM was designed for the P6800:
- Mobile Data Icon still there,
- About device/Status, crashes.
One major problem I have though is the fact I cannot mount my 64GB Cruzer Fit (FAT32) with this ROM anymore.
This is quite a show stopper and was wondering if anything could be done about this.

I did some more testing. The modified systemui.apk and the samsung multiwindow can sometimes have a double split screen bar. Both work, but are seperate to each other so when you move one the app snaps to it, but you move the other and it snaps to it.
Not sure the exact trigger, but if you disable multiwindow in settings, you can still launch multiwindow apps using the system bar quick launcher at the bottom of the screen that is in the new modified systemui.apk.
If you go back to the original systemui.apk after using the new one, split screen actually works at 160 dpi. So i am guessing it makes some files that fix the issue at 160 dpi. The only slight issue is the split screen bar is slightly small at 160dpi.
Another bug with the modified systemui.apk is if you hold down the home button the google now quick launch ring appears in the wrong location, off to the side. The original systemui.apk doesn't have this issue. Anyway, just feedback incase someone can fix these bugs.

Feedback on the great ROM
I am now using this ROM on my GT-P6810 and I have to say it is really good with the Kernel from UpInTheAir.
I can now mount an external 64GB CruzerFit USB key. I am getting a strange white square in the menu bar though.
I cannot copy to the key but can read from it.
The work that has been done so far is great though. Thanks to both. How hard will it be to remove any (if possible) non GT-6800 menus, I don't know but it is very usable. I have no idea why Samsung haven't done such thing really. This tab still rocks!
There is one thing I would really love though and that will be to be able to write to external key. When I try do do so the key is unmounted automatically. The OS start writing to it the it is being dismounted...

Change your phablet "Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0"(running Android 4.1.2) to tablet [root

Change your phablet "Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0"(running Android 4.1.2) to tablet [root
Well, I am not good at making flashable zips so I would be writing up the process I used to turn my phablet to tablet,
First of all, I am going to tell you that after this some Samsung's stock apps might not work(including TouchWiz launcher and some other) or might work distorted(including calculator and others) , and play store might not show all apps
In this process, we are going to change LCD density to make the ROM believe that we are using a tablet and it will force tablet ui instead of phablet ui
As I stated above that TouchWiz won't work after this so it is recommended to have other launcher already installed(I use Google experience), so that you might not get stuck on a blank home screen repeatedly giving FC error for TouchWiz,
So after you have got a launcher installed, download any build prop editor(I use ROM toolbox) and open it and search for ro.sf.lcd_density property, you will find 2 with same name, but different values(on 4.1.2),one will have 160 and other will have 240.
Beware, don't change both values, just change 160 value to 140, don't touch 240 one or you will end up having systemUI force close error again and again
When you have done this, just reboot and you will have tabletUI instead of normal phablet ui, you will not have notification bar on top, but will have that on bottom in the side of navigation buttons (you will get them too)
Few changes that will come are:
1. Power+Home key no longer take screenshot, instead you have a soft key for that on navigation bar
2. Settings icon changes a little.
Counting...
Problems:
1. Navigation bar is white instead of normal black one, so notifications won't show up easily (you might get use to it, as I got used to it)
2. You can no longer take screen shot of your notifications
Any other you found? Just tell me, I will add it here
If u got any problem, just reply, I will try to help
I will update this for 4.4.2 soon, as I am not at home for now, on vacations at the moment will update it as I reach home. [UPDATE: Italian firmware update 4.4.2 do not have tablet ui, we can not change is ui to tablet, I don't know why they removed it]
Just to tell you, there are some xposed modules to do this and you can use them too, but they are temporary, this one is permanent, if you factory reset your tab without making any 3rd party launcher a system app then you won't be able to use your tab for the time you don't flash rom again or install a launcher from adb or any other way you can opt to fix it, you can still access notification area, thus also the settings but not anything that can't be opened from there!
I actually got inspired by thinking that there must be some way to get tabletUI instead of normal phabletUI because I like tabletUI personally
If you think of anything that need to be changed here, or needs to be updated, just reply and I will do what's appropriate
Tested on:
1. SM-T211(android v4.1.2), working!
2. SM-T211(android v4.4.2), not working!
You can try and tell me if it works on other variants or not and I will update

As I said, there are some xposed modules which do this but they are temporary, once you factory reset, it will be lost and you will have to redo that, but this is permanent, no matter if you reset, it will be the same way, and one thing that you should keep in mind, TouchWiz home (launcher) will stop working after this, so just make a third party launcher a system app, by just copying the apk to /system/app/

there is no tablet mode in kitkat. So any 4.4.x won't work. I can't stand the white status/nav bar so I don't put the dpi too low. I wonder if phab7 can get around the white status/nav bar.
