UPDATE: A fellow xda member created an app that will help you add multiwindow support for your app through feature.xml. You can visit his thread here.
This maybe a simple way to add multiwindow support to apps without having to modify apks and at the same time be able to update your apps without losing multiwindow support just by editing a simple text file. This may or may not work for you.
I don't have a note10.1 but as I was trying to port some features from the note10.1 to the note1, I came across a smali code fragment that checks for multiwindow supported apps in CSC file as well as excluded apps so I tried to investigate further and found out that you can actually add multiwindow support for almost any app by just adding it's package name in feature.xml or other.xml in /system/csc folder. So if you look into your feature.xml file you will see the code below.
Code:
<CscFeature_MultiWindow_AddOnApp>-com.google.android.apps.maps,-com.google.android.maps,-com.google.android.gm,-com.google.android.talk,-com.google.android.youtube,-com.android.chrome,-com.facebook.katana,-com.twitter.android,-com.kakao.talk,-com.android.email,-com.android.mms,-com.sec.android.mms.kor,-com.sec.android.app.snotebook,-com.infraware.polarisviewer4,-com.infraware.polarisoffice4</CscFeature_MultiWindow_AddOnApp>
What to do?
Just delete all package names inside like below:
Code:
<CscFeature_MultiWindow_AddOnApp></CscFeature_MultiWindow_AddOnApp>
Then add the package name of every app you want to have multiwindow support like this...
Code:
<CscFeature_MultiWindow_AddOnApp>com.android.vending</CscFeature_MultiWindow_AddOnApp>
and add another like below (separated by a comma) :
Code:
<CscFeature_MultiWindow_AddOnApp>com.android.vending,com.android.settings</CscFeature_MultiWindow_AddOnApp>
If you notice, there are no "-" prefixes to package names and there are no white spaces (this is very important).
How to find the package name?
You can look into the /data/data folder using root explorer/solid explorer/root browser and find the folder that corresponds to the app you want to add. The folder name is the package name.
NOTE: If you have the feature.xml file but doesn't have the <CscFeature_MultiWindow_AddOnApp></CscFeature_MultiWindow_AddOnApp> code above, then just copy the code above and insert it into your feature.xml file.
NOTE:If you don't have the feature.xml file but have the other.xml file, just copy the code above into your other.xml and edit it and insert the apps you want. Remember to reboot after editing for the change to take effect.
This feature works for my stock rooted deodex note n7000 (not modded for unlimited multiwindow apps).
* The smali code where I got this idea from is note1 JB 4.1.2 so for note10.1 it may also be only available for JB 4.1.2.
If it works for you show some appreciation. Post feedback and share your experience for the benefit of others.
I have a note 10.1 and I tried this. I got into the feature.XML file and it doesn't look anything like that. I would love this to work... but I am still on ICS and wonder if that may be the problem.
Any help? Or was anybody else able to do this and make it work?
Ok I got the file by default all google apps are mutiwindow enabled but the same still do not have this feature
I am 4.1.2 but unfortunately haven't got a multiview line in the xml.

Yes same here.
I tried with Dropbox and other apps but this mod doesn't work. But a strange thing has happened: when I mod the file all apps in the original list become MultiWindow!! In this way now I have gmail 4.2.1 in MultiWindow and I have download it from playstore (The same thing for YouTube, Facebook, Chrome ecc ecc).

You must mod feature.xml in System/CSC folder. At the end of this file there are strings for multiwindow. In these strings I have only added "com.dropbox.android". In this way Dropbox didn't become multiwindow but yes all apps in the original list (Gmail, youtube, Facebook etc etc)

Hi!
i found a nice mod from GALAXY S who works on s+ too..
I test Shadowgun Dead Zone with this MOD..it's smooth as hell!
Download MOD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1978061
How to install it:
OPTION 1:
Download SManager from Market.
Put VMLAG on your Internal SD.
With a File Manager,rename the VMLAG(ex VMLagTuner_1_9MP4.pdf to VMLagTuner_1_9MP4 )
Open SManager and serch the file.
And make it look like mine(press SU and Boot) and " IS SCRIPT" .(i post a screen)
Than,press " RUN "
Wait,and that's it. Than,reboot your phone.(Wait for installation)
OPTION 2:
Download the last VMLAG,and just rename (Ex from VMLAGTUNER_1_9MP4.pfd to VMLAGTUNER_1_9MP4
And than,download a root File Manager (like es file) and put file in init.d (i guess /system/etc/init.d )
After,restart your phone.
I test this mod only with Shadow0-Rom-Ics (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014511)
I will make a video to show you Dead Zone without lag on our phone.

Thank you very much ++++

Device: Samsung Galaxy S Plus (I9001)
ROM: PAC-man rom 18.0.0 by camcory
Kernel: Stock
Recovery: TWRP TeamWin Recovery Project 2.2.1
USING XDA-APP
Open your terminal emulator
Type as follows:
su ( Press enter)
sysctl -a | grep vm (Enter again)
search for vm.vfs_cache_pressure; if its equal to 300 (I guess you are using the latest script version, cause this value change every new release ), then the script takes affect after boot.

It's compatible with all ROM's. You just need to have a inti.d support .

I've been using the smaller softkeys mod on my old Xperia Z for half a year now (24dpi size) and just can't and don't wanna get used to these huge and annoying stock softkeys...they are so large and ugly and take away so much screenspace.

I'll wait the hero creates flashable soft keys 36+32 (the same mod we knew on the XZ) :angel:
I'm happy to make a flashable zip for this. It's a pretty simple mod to do..once you know how.
The problem is I've just got the ordinary Z (why didn't I wait a few months?!) so I'll need some files from somebody.
I'll need:
system/framework/framework-res.apk
system/framework/SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
system/app/SystemUI.apk
system/vendor/overlay/android-res.apk
That should do it.

what would happen if I did this and reboot? Could it be that I don't have any softkeys at all?
As a safeguard, is it a good idea to enable and autostart an app like "Auto hide softkeys" which brings its own softkey nav bar? I could use this to navigate if the other option fails? Or is it also tied to the stock soft keys?
I guess I'm not brave enough (yet) to test it out . I just finished setting up my Z1 a few days ago and everything is running smoothly and I don't want to mess with it.
I'll have to get annoyed enough with the stock keys or my current replacement (Auto hide softkeys) in order to take the plunge.

If it does not work, nothing should happen actually... Worst case: no softkeys.. fix: open a root explorer, navigate to system/vendor/overlay and delete the apk....

That's easy enough to fix. We'd need to edit the navbar.xml and remove the 'android:scaleType' bit of code from the back softkey line.

sure...
here we go....
you need to delete SystemUI.odex inside /system/app
and replace SystemUI.apk with the attached one. make sure it has 644 permissions. ("chmod 644 /system/app/SystemUI.apk")
But please do a backup and enable USB debugging before deleting anything! so you might have a chance to revert your changes if something goes wrong....
und vielen dank fuers testen!!!
EDIT: attachment did not work. REMOVED!

Working perfectly now. Its a nifty feature to have.
Thanks
What is this?

The optical reader integrates the samsung keyboard with input ocr capabilities using the camera to scan text. The standalone app is useful to translate text on the fly by pointing at the camera.

Any chance to install it manually??(no cwm yet).
thanks
Strange Samsung excluded Optical Reader from the Note 3, it is there in the S4. I installed an alternative called 'Photo Reader' from the Play Store, but the app crashes on opening. I modified my phone a little bit (Vega Root, Foldershare (incl. fix mount points)).
Is there anyone who tried this 'Photo Reader' app on the Note 3 who can confirm it working on the Note 3?

You can install manually (I did that way) simply by copy the zip structure in the corresponding folder structure. There are no overlapping libraries, so no risk that anything go mess. The only thing are the permissions to be set as discussed in the OP

....Obviously using root explorer or similar because working on the system partition.

The structure is the same of the zip file starting from system/

I've tried flashing this, verifying permissions and then replacing apk and lib files with ones from the latest S4 4.3 ROM.
The final step at least got the app to launch but it still won't OCR. I also tried installing the optical reader database from Samsung's App Store.
I was wondering if anyone has tried Abbyy Mobile TextGrabber? Is it pretty much the same thing? If so, I might just buy it!

check the permissions of the folder system/photoreader and the subfolders (should be drwxr-xr-x 755). This activated the on the fly OCR functionality.
I'm on sm-n9005 xxubmj3 rooted odex.
I've reinstalled it manually because seems the cwm script is faulty and setup the permission manually and it works flawlessly.

Bedankt mijn vriend:good:Er was veel heel good:laugh:
Thank you very much
Manage to extract the Gallery and photo editor from Note 2014. Install via recovery.If someone are interested here is the link. Almost all working in Photo editor except cropping have FC's( but you can do that via the main menu).Sorry can't find the lib or apk responsible for cropping .If someone know the solution please share.. Fixed cropping FC's at last!!!!
P.S. Make sure to have more than 50mb available free space on system for the full download. And will replace the stock Gallery when installed. Only works on 4.4.2. deodexed rom as far as I know( didn't test on odexed rom but you can try to manually delete gallery.odex then install the zip).Please let me know if there is still problems.
Fixed cropping FC's full download: https://mega.co.nz/#!vxIwCAqS!3mQ-41Hhftt0oRXZgJ5frvVM5LPBcj6zbsfGNioWka0

The gallery is included in the zip. What Rom are you in? Please check your system if there is available space as stated in the O.P.
Yeah, plenty of room there but no Gallery and no Photo Editor Installed. I opened the zip to see what's in there but both apps are in a folder Privated Apps (or such). I even tried to move both apps to systems apps and change permissions but it did not worked out. ¿Any place where I can get the "original" galery from N8000 firmware?

Just an update you can use cropping via the main menu of the gallery but not in the photo editor.

force close
I'm using gnabo rom v4 on my n8000 which is based on the official kit kat 4.4.2 rom with added snote and apps from the note 10.1 2014 edition. When I go to the gallery and press the edit button to add an effect to my photo it force closes the gallery. This happened before I installed this zip as the rom had the old note 10.1 2012 gallery and is still happening after I updated it using this zip. How do I fix the force close? Are there any missing library files or filters I should be aware of?
looks awesome

Strange you are the 1st to have this problem. Did you add any modifications in your rom or is it pure stock Gnabo rom? Before you add this mod suppose to be you won't have any response if you click the edit button cause the photo editor app is removed by Samsung(don't know why?)in the official firmware.After you install this mod it replaces the stock gallery app with the one from note 2014 gallery app. The only foreclose I do know after installing this is when you try to crop an image in photo editor mode, which I clearly stated in OP. It might be something else and not this mods problem .Anyway please reinstall your rom then this mod and let me know how it goes.

Thank you for your advice. I reinstalled gnabo v4 ROM and installed the Note 10.1 2014 gallery and photo editor zip. It worked, I must have had some files in the wrong place or something was misconfigured.
However, one small problem persists. In the SNote software when I select an image, go to properties and then go to 'Effects' it force closes the note. I wonder if it's related to the crop function not working? I'm not sure how to fix it.
