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.

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.
Hi
I'm interested in trying out an Android 4.3 (or later) ROM for the Note 10.1, but I wonder does installing a ROM disable the spen or limit its functionality in any way? I wasn't sure where I can find this information.
Thank you

Shouldn't but the Samsung apps like spen and s health won't be included as these would be aokp or aosp roms.... Samsung hasn't released 4.3 on the note 10.1 yet so you loose these Samsung specific apps, you should be able to find replacements for most.
Hi, I don't use the Samsung Apps, the main thing I need is the spen to work and for it to have its pressure sensitivity. Is the multi-window feature though a Samsung thing that would not be available (or is that a standard Android feature or is there something I can do to enable it if not?)

Thread Closed pending a working Download Link. A placeholder thread for a Not-Yet-Existing Rom is not permitted.
OP, contact me when it is uploaded and I will reopen the thread.
EDIT - After the closure, OP contacted me by PM to state that he does not have time to support the project.
can someone please port n9005 stock apps and features such as camera, s-pen features,smart stay, smart pause, quick settings in status bar etc to cm12.1. Because there are many amazing mods that cause issues on stock tw roms and work really fine on cm12.1. But we don't want to loss the amazing stock features as well.
I'm no dev nor I have sufficient knowledge and therefore I don't know if it's technically possible or not. But it seems a great idea

I'm not a native English speaker and don't know the meaning of "sirve" lol ...And this request doesn't matter anymore because I'm on darklord note 5 port rom and it's worth giving up the mods that I wish worked on TW roms
Who has the device and has sideloaded gcam yet ? Really thinking about getting the phone and am coming from a pixel 4xl and really enjoy the point and click of the pixel. Want to see if GCAM is a viable option on the Sony Xperia 5 ii.
Thanks
I am also very close to purchasing this and would also like to know if this is possible.

The MGC here works, but you may need to tweak settings for best results, and it only works with the main and selfie cameras.
Surprisingly, the stock app for the camera is very good on 5 II.. The question is, is gcam needed for 5 II, sony did a great job with the camera and the camera software this year.
The stock app is indeed surprisingly capable, but managing highlights is still one of the weak points with Sony. The 5 II is probably the best phone Sony has made in years so it would be great to see GCam support for it. Any chance of this @Arnova8G2 @Urnyx05?

I think you hit it on the head honestly. The testing I have been doing with the camera seems to be that Sony is okay with highlights in photos, similarly to Apple but Apple does still a little better than Sony does.
There are definitely benefits I have seen from the highlights though, portrait photos of a person with good lighting look exceptional on the mark II even with indoor lighting. My first 2 days with this phone have been a pleasure because it almost makes me feel like this phone is built like a Nexus device was back in the good old days, with minor Sony embellishments.
Looking forward to progress here in this!
@Urnyx05
Checked your thread for what you need for a bug report, so I've tried include all that you need incase you are interested in getting your GCam up and running on the Xperia 5 II.
Phone: Xperia 5 II, stock rom, no fixes
APK: GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.3.apk
Camera2 Test and logcat attached of the crash.
The app crashes the moment you start it (after you've given it all the permissions), but you can also hear the camera activating.
Please bring gcam to our device, Urnyx05
Came here from the Xperia 1 II thread. Yes, the Xperia 5 II is one of the Android flagship this year. Stable gcam support will elevate the popularity of this device more, Sony get more sales and they have more money to develop next gen Xperia.

Eh, what? There aren't any properly working GCam versions for the phone yet.
The only ones that work are one older GCam and the Go version. Yes, stock apps give better pictures than those but I'm not counting those as proper GCam ports.
I find a webpage of GCam for Xperia 5 II. https://www.cyanogenmods.org/google-camera-xperia-5-ii/
I tried it but all crashed, maybe because my phone is China Edition. You can try it.

Eh, seems like some autogenerated ****. "Gcam for *automatically insert phone model here*". To be ignored.
This are not Versions for the Xperia. Bad Link.
Android 11 and GCAM
It might actually help when sony releases Android 11 for both the mark 5 ii and the mark 1 ii phone. It's might make the current GCAM apks and config files more compatible.
Are you running this version?
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1234/
On my 5-2 this GCam is semi-working. It takes photo on 16 and 70 mm module. Sometimes you can enter the menu using the button LIB from the tenth time.
(If the image from the camera is visible and falls out, move the slider to the video and choose a different camera).
Perhaps someone can make this version work and run the main photo module (it works in the video).

I cant Open it.... Force Close everytime
@Subbb I've managed to snap a photo with the ultra wide and tele yes, the photos are very grainy though.
It's weird because Google Camera Go works only with the 24mm lens.
@chilled_orange13 my trick was to open the app, quickly swipe to video then change the lens using the upper settings menu. Pressing the setting icon or lib icon makes the app crash. Changing lens crashes the app but when you open it again it launches on the selected lens.
