Database Info

[ 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 .........

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:

for the galaxy s2 there is a multi window mod. Maybe we coud install it also on our tab 7+. because it has the same exynos chip.
i could´t test this because for my wifi only tab 7+ is no jelly bean yet.
but if it does not fuction maybe a dev can port it also to the tab 7+.

+1 for this. Although apps like Overskreen, Floating Browser and etc exists, it would be great if it was integrated to one app(MultiWindow).

Is there a lot of interest for this, or are there alternatives?
Is there a lot of interest for this, or are there alternatives that people/Devs are preferring?
I like the Multiwindow function on my S3, and would really like to see it or something similar on a Galaxy 7" tablet. I want to use it to run a GPS routing App & a Music App at the same time, while running WaveControl in the background. It works great on the S3, but I feel that ~half the screen is too small to be used well for GPS. So, I have had a GT+ for a while, but sold it until I can find which of the two (GT+ or GT2) will get MultiWindow or similar.
I have seen the Overskreen, but that's Browser only. I've seen the floating Apps, but that seems to be specific Apps, and part of the main App gets covered up by the floater. So neither seems to be able to replace Multiwindow, unless there's a way to make any App a floating App.
Any thoughts/ideas?

All your options are really not going to happen, but one day, in the future, after we get full stable releases for more models of the 7+, someone will port over the multi-window stuff that is form the Note 2 / S4 that is in custom ROMs for the S3. Lets get stable stock ROMs for all the G+ models first
.Android currently is not built to handle floating window, its a real hack just to get a browser to float.

Alright, sounds good. I'm hoping that we do get multi-window when the stock ROMs are fully fleshed out. I was also trying to gauge what ROM developers were going for, whether Multi-Window or Floating Apps were more relevant to them. Supposedly there was one ROM that had Beta multi-window, but the developer seems to have dropped that in favor of the floating option. I just don't see it as a viable replacement, at least not yet.

Apart from my 7 plus tab I own a Samsung galaxy grand that has 1 gb of ram and a 1.2 ghz double core processor (like our 7 plus), and it has multi windows option out of the box (jb 4.1.2), which means that it's doable for our tab. It's a matter of editing the main flashbar.apk, and some framework files.
Easier said than done, yes, I know...:silly:

I just pulled the main flashbar apk and the multi windows related frameworks and permissions from my galaxy grand and pushed them into my tab (p6210 running pa 3.15).
I rebooted, the apk installed, and I saw on my task manager that it was on, good sign.
But (there is always a but) I had nothing to trigger it. On the galaxy grand there is a multi windows icon next to the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS etc icons on the status bar, but obviously no such icon on the tab.
To get one such icon one needs to edit some jars in the framework folder, and maybe the system ui apk as well. I could do it if I had plenty of time (because I'm still relatively new to those things) but unfortunately I don't have much time in the moment.
If anyone wants to do it just tell me and I'll upload the files here...

Thanks for trying! By the way, the ported multiview on my Sprint Galaxy SIII is activated by holding down the back button. Could you try that? I don't know if it will work since on the S3 it is basically a hardware button, but just in case.

I tried, without much hope because I'm on pa 3.15 and as you may know the multi windows app works only with the TW framework (pa doesn't use TW ui). And guess what, it didn't work. I tried as well to trigger the app with smart taskbar, multi windows manager and a couple of other apps but nope, no fun...
I had a closer look at my galaxy grand and in some drawable folders I found the multi windows icons and triggers. One would need to add these files to the G plus systemui.apk and framework.apk, and add/remove some lines to some jars and stuff.
It's doable and I probably could do it, but I won't, for the sole reason that I own a p6210 and that jb hasn't been released for that model yet, sorry...
If you know how to decompile/recompile then try this, it works on the S2 and it may work on the G plus:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024227
But don't forget to do a nandroid back up before, in case something gets messed up...

Its not a full rom just a flashable mod but u do have to be on a DEODEXED version...it is completely safe just makes it easier to change theme & mod but as always please read the instructions carefully and be sure to backup your device before flashing. Since I'm assuming u own a P6200 then u will need the original MC3 firmware as well as chrisrotolo's deodexed MC3 zip installed before u flash the multi window mod. Yes, tethering works & the phone function does too BUT u may have to download another dialer from the play store(i'm using ex dialer & contacts) if the samsung phone app wont open

[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.
Peter

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.

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..

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?

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

Process should be more or less the same but different files.

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?

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...

[Q] I need a better clipboard functionality

One of the things that I loved about my ASUS Padfone 2 was the near stock UI.
The things that got changed by ASUS were mostly very useful, like the clipboard.
If I long pressed a textbox on my Padfone 2, the usual "paste" icon showed up accompanied by a second icon "clipboard".
When I clicked that icon, a panel slid up from where the keyboard normally is, which had the last copied elements as a small preview, with an additional button to edit the contents. In edit mode, I could delete elements or mark them as permanent (I guess the system would overwrite them when the cashe would be full at some point otherwise).
I miss that useful function on my Nexus 5.
Does anyone know a mod or custom ROM that does that?
I have looked into this on the play store, but the apps there require to run in the background or to switch to a third app to access the copied content.

You will have to look at the ROM feature list, but this is the first time that I have heard of this feature. If my memory is correct there aren't any ROMs with the feature but don't quote me. Third party app is your best alternative. This phone has 2GB of RAM it'll be ok in the background.
edit: You could also check xposed or make a request in the xposed thread.

I use clipper which is still a 3rd app but it works well for me. I use switchr to swipe in from the screen edge to access it.

Thanks for the replies.
I am not worried about the RAM running full, but I don't like to have any more notification icons than necessary.
Looks like I'll have to compromise clean look for functionality.
I wish google implemented the way ASUS did it into AOSP. It was really perfect.
Maybe Cyanogenmod will do this.
Thanks again for your comments.

Multi Windows for all Aps

Hello
Got the galaxy note pro 12.2 SMP900 yesterday, I'm wondering if it's possible to enable all the apps on multi windows.

I also got my note yesterday and am very interested in the answer

I had some success prior to rooting with MW Pen Enabler: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.xperiacle.multiwindow.enable
After rooting, you can add apps via the Wanam module for Xposed. I have to say that I am enjoying the multi-window more than I expected. The developer for MW Pen Enabler has another app that creates shortcuts for two apps to open simultaneously in multi-windows. I love being able to click once and having both the apps I want open at the same time. Here is the link for Paired Window Shortcuts: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.xperiacle.multiwindow.pair

So if you have rooted device, you can try this, if this is what you are looking for:
MULTIWINDOW Apps Manager
@xperiacle got also app to add more apps to penwindow or if you are unrooted, to make (some) installed apps to work in penwindow or multiwindow. He/She also have app I like to use, to make shortcuts that opens app directry to penwindow, and this is what I use a lot on my NP 12.2 and Note 3. When you got huge display, why to open all apps to fullscreen when you can have those shortcuts to open them to window instead.
Other His/Her apps can be found here at Google Play

Paired Multiview

"The developer for MW Pen Enabler has another app that creates shortcuts for two apps to open simultaneously in multi-windows. I love being able to click once and having both the apps I want open at the same time. Here is the link for Paired Window Shortcuts".
It is possible to do paired apps multiview without root or installing another app. At the bottom of the list of apps that are available for multiview,tap on the two small parallel horizontal lines. There you have the option to set up paired multiview apps under "create".
