Update: To avoid confusion, specially for noobs, with my new Floating MultiWindow Mod, I have created a new thread as this one works for both LSA and LSC while the new mod works only for LSC because I don't have time to mod both versions. The old mod consists of just a simple permission file while the new mod consists of edits in code and configurations. I recommend that you try the new Floating MultiWindow Mod as it is more awesome than this one. Here is the link to the NEW FLOATING MULTIWINDOW MOD.
Old MOD Version: For both LSA & LSC - Floating MultiWindows - Resizable/Movable/Non-Minimizable
This is an alternative to the current flashbar multiview feature on Note1 and Note2. Unlike the current dual-pane window of Note1 and Note2, my mod features floating windows - movable, resizable, from fullscreen to window and back and forth for almost all apps, whether modded for multiview or not. It consists of a phablet UI without the soft navigation bar/tray unlike my previous mod on LS7.
So if you are foolish enough like me, maybe you can try this mod and explore a bit of what Samsung maybe cooking for its next big thing. So here it goes. As always, I am not responsible if you brick your phone. Use this mod at your own risk.
1. Requirements: N7000 rooted deodex JB 4.1.2 XXLSA or XXLSC w/ unlimited multiwindows mod installed. You can use most custom XXLSA-based roms like Cassies, SVA, Ultimate, etc which already have the unlimited apps multiwindow mod built in. Make a nandroid backup to be safe. I have not tried all ROMS, this mod may or may not work so proceed at your own risk.
2. Install build prop editor from the PlayStore and edit ro.sf.lcd_density = 213.
3. Download the Floating.Multiwindow.Mod.XXLSA,zip below and flash through CWM recovery.
4. Reboot your phone and explore - open apps, resize them, move them, open multiple apps, and so forth. Let the rom settle for a while. Play with it. It takes a bit of learning to use the floating window interface and develop a workflow in using it for productive multitasking.
Resizing Apps: When on fullscreen mode, you will see a double-overlapping square icon on top right or bottom right side of every app to launch the app in window mode, then when on window mode, you can resize by touching & dragging each side (left, right or bottom) of the window in one direction or dragging the bottom corners to resize in both directions.
Note: Because this uses a phablet UI interface, some apps may not look and work right. The ripple lockscreen is gone although there is a mod to restore it somewhere in this thread. The long press Home button to open recent apps is gone but an alternative is to download Recent Apps Quick Button or Notification Toggles from the PlayStore and configure it to be accessed from the notification panel. Stock apps layouts like dialer, voice recorder, etc may be out of place but you can replace it with 240dpi modded apps located in the themes/apps section of the forum. You can use some stock apps from TAB 2 7" or the Note10.1 as replacement.
Tips:
a) Use Notification Toggles from the PlayStore and configure it to launch favourite apps on the notification panel. It also has option to enable shortcuts for Recent Apps and Task manager in notification panel for quick app switching and other stuff.
b) Use GMD Spen control found in the apps/themes section to enable gestures for quick app switching.
c) Use Rotation Control app from the Playstore if you want to manually control autorotation of apps.
d) As I have not changed the systemui, mods that enhance/change the systemui like themes and all that may work on this mod. Always backup your stock systemui for safety.
e) For the best handwriting recognition keyboard replacement , I recomment 7notes by mazec on the PlayStore. It's really good, a lot more accurate than the stock samsung one.
* I would be sharing as much tips as I go about using this mod on a daily basis. I wish you share yours too if you are using this mod.
My thoughts so far using this mod:
I am using Cassies XtraLiteRom LSA and so far it feels snappy. I use Notifications Toggles for quick app switching (still waiting for Samsung to release its Smart Switcher App). I don't really need to use these apps in window mode but I have the option if I want to, and at 213 dpi, I feel this is what the spen was built for aside from sketches and drawings and notes. Some might complain about apps not looking right on window mode but they are not meant to be in window mode, the developer did not intend it to be. But some apps look and work fine on window mode and can be used for a more viable multitasking workflow than is currently available on phones. It is just a matter of developing a certain workflow and a collection of apps that work for you on this mod. A lot of alternative apps are on the play store and here on xda. Moreover, with just a dual core processor as compared to the Note2 and Note10.1's quad core, I can't really complain that this window mode should be able to work on Note1. Not too shabby, I would say.
Restore:
To restore, just delete com.sec.feature.multiwindow.tablet.xml then restore com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml, then restore your backup stock launcher and stock browser, then change dpi to 320. Reboot and you are back to phone mode.
* Attach CWM file works for both LSA and LSC.
Warning: Flashing other mods may or may not break this mod, so be sure know what you are changing. Not suitable for ROMs with systems apps located in preload.
Good job! I always like the Phablet mode but actually those roms based on TW not CM.
Does the stock launcher work with this mode?
Which apps can be swapped? How about stock Tab's launcher? Do the Note and Tab have the same framework? Or those apps are independent from framework?
Sorry for keep questioning
this is a lot better than that on LS7, it may not require modded apps anymore, you did a huge update here xperiacle
So any updates on this? I mean anyone tried?
Edit: nice job man! Tried it but unfortunately I didnt like it, but really nice found. Keep it up

I haven't tried Alliance Rom with this mod yet but I suppose it should work because I have not change the Systemui. It is still the stock one. I only change the launcher because the stock one doesn't work at this dpi.
When on fullscreen mode, you will see a double-overlapping square icon on top right or bottom right side of every app to launch the app in window mode, then when on window mode, you can resize by touching & dragging each side (left, right or bottom) of the window in one direction or dragging the bottom corners to resize in both directions.

I d0nt know what I am missing?
I hope iannbba release his 04 soon so we will have everthing at one place.
I have been using the device for a while right now and I saw a lot of topic about people talking about rooting the device. the question is, is it worth rooting? I don't actually see the need for that. So, if anyone can point out some major reason for rooting for me please?

I rooted mine only because I couldn't write to extSD as I bought it for reading eBooks which would be stored in extSD. I also freeze indexservice which drained the battery. Adaway is also another good reason to root.

It's totally subjective; if you don't see a need then don't worry about it. Sites like this though exist in part because there are many who do have a need/desire to take things further than stock is able to go.
Reason's for me to root include:
Freezing of stock applications I don't want loading at any time (stock browser, stock email, e-meeting, web-ex, group play, knox, magazine widgets, stock music app, netflix, ny times, remote pc, screen saver, side-sync are all frozen using titanium backup on my device).
Installing Xposed Framework to customize the tablet - disabled youtube ads, customized multi-window menus, per application display density/resolution control for greater leverage of screen real estate, status bar tweaks and notification tweaks to name a few)
Full greenify support through Xposed framework - ability to hybernate applications to keep memory use low and maximize battery life.
Button savior application - ability to quickly access home/back/menu buttons from the side of the tablet in landscape instead of having to use the built in capacitive ones.
Titanium backup - ability to keep a backup of my last couple of versions of each application so that should an app update produce results that i don't like I can easily revert to an older version.
As has been stated, allowing for write access to external microSD.
Just a few tweaks I've added to my tablet. I continue to experiment with xposed modules as time goes on. All subjective "needs".
Every reason listed below is why I need root on my VZW Tablet.

I rooted it to use adaway, xposed with wanam xposed module and to uninstall bloatware.
Don't forget about changing to what we're font you want.
Really, if you live to tinker, you have to root. If you are just a user (nothing wrong with that) then rooting may not mean anything to you.

Thanks for the list, didn`t knew TB could freeze programs so just snatched up the pro :victory:
Okay.. Can I borrow this thread a bit?
Can you change overall colour theme of NP? I have thought of buying one (LTE Model) and I just hate how it looks when settings, "drop down" notification bar etc.. are on white background. Is it possible change those to black like all AMOLED phones / tablets have?
Thanks.

Nope. With xposed framework you can install wanam module to ATTEMPT to do it. I say attempt because try as I might I could not change the color of the volume slider background. I posted a screenshot of my issue in the wanam thread but am not sure if it will be addressed in an update soon as I am not sure the developer has the means to look into it. We shall see, it's not like that module is updated frequently since it takes a lot of effort to find the settings in various versions of roms. If I had one complaint about the note pro it would be that the quick settings tiles and notification pull down is far too wasteful of screen real estate to the point that it's shameful. Tiles are huge on it and with the sliders extended one has to scroll frequently in landscape mode.

Not really, but with rooting, you will be able to install themes. There is currently one very interesting theme available for the Note 10.1, I am hoping a port may eventually become available for our device. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2687087
While the theme is "busy" compared to the Pro's generic white everywhere idea, it does harken back to the early days of Android hacking and the interesting icons which appeared. I'd probably give it a go on my Pro if it became available.
I too would like to theme my tablet. I like the look of some experia stuff quite a lot.

Has anyone tried to force it into tablet mode? I used to get a dropdown bar like the one on the note pro if I lowered my dpi on my note 2. Just in the middle. If you lowered it far enough and used a patch ui.apk you could get a tablet style menu bar on the note 2 (man I miss that)

Hi,
because i'm "not permitted to post to development-related forums" i cant ask in the right thread:
At first: many thanks @all developer - this is a great ROM!
Im using LiquidSmooth 3.1 OFFIZIAL with ASOP Recent Apps. Within the first use Recent Apps after swiping to left, the switcher asked to enable "Floating Windows". I pushed yes and i worked. But i dont know for what this floating mode is useful. So i want to disable this floating mode with swiping to left and want to restore the default behavior (close app).
How do i disable this floating mode (swiping to left)? I cant find any associated setting in menu.

Thank you for your fast answer, but exactly this setting doesnt exist in my ROM (drdevs.com/devs/teamliquid/Official/3.1/)...
Almost same problem here (Note 2 @ Liquidsmooth).
Chrome beta started to open in the floating window and the page display is dimmed, making web browsing a horrible experience. The difference is that it opens as window ALWAYS, and not only when triggered by swiping on recents.
After spending ca 3 hours looking for the way to change it I realized that such a bug (even if the option is really hidden somewhere) combined with ART issues (rebuilding cache every reboot, a well known bug of dex2oat) plus updates released only as a full dumps (reverting all modifications to /system performed on my own) absolutely DISQUALIFIES the rom whene there are so many others around.
It's far away from my conception of flexibility.

I am having the same problem. All links in Google search open the browser in a new window.

Got almost the same issue. I never use floating mode, and today, chrome decided to make its appearance in float mode only.. very annoying as you can't pink to zoom without resizing the window.
I couldn't find out how to disable that, i tried unsinstalling.. but nothing seems to help.
By the way, I am using C-Rom v7.1 on Galaxy S3 i9300.

Is there a way to add any app to the multi-tasking bar? I did this before when I was rooted but being on Verizon w/o root MW Manager doesn't work ...
POST EDITED. Was going to delete my post cause I'm an idiot and I should stop speed reading. May help someone.... no way to mess with multiwindow without root. The most you can do is remove apps from the list without root.
Yes. You have to be rooted.. Go to play store. Multiwindow apps manager. What confused me was it did not seem to work at first. But it did. You have to configure it thru the mw apps manager first. Then after a reboot, configure it thru the actual panel's settings as well where on the bottom of the panel there are dots that form the shape of an arrow. Stumped me for a long time. Glad I'm not the only one cause I felt stupid. Just launch your multiwindow by holding the back button and click on the arrow like I said after adding it with the mw apps manager.
For years I've been running first Nova, then SmartLauncher on all my devices. I made it a habit to at least freeze, sometimes delete the default launchers. So I also did on my OP6, and it wasn't any problem until I update from OOS 9.0.9 to 10.0.1 over the last weekend. After the (OTA) update I first re-activated Smart Launcher, then froze OnePlus launcher using Titanium, like I always did.
But then I realized that the navigation bar's "square" button had stopped working: no more recent apps pop up. The button shows the "pressure" but doesn't do anything.
I tried to add the "recents" function to some other gesture, but still no success. Rebooted several times, deleted caches through TWRP - nothing.
Next I un-froze OP launcher and activated it. That's how I got back the "recents". Then I made smart launcher my default launcher again >> recents still working.
Next I froze OP launcher again >> again no more recents
So I thought that this must be a bug of Smart Launcher. Luckily the devs today released an update (V 5.4), but that didn't help in my situation.
NExt thing I tried was installing a 3rd launcher - back to Nova. But >> exactly the same behaviour: as long as OP launcher is "there" I have access to the recents. If not, then no more recents, no matter which launcher I use.
Questions:
is anyone else seeing this?
does anyone know whether this is unique to my OP6, or to OOS 10.0.1 in general, or do other devices see the same behaviour?

Yep, that's what it looks like. So you mean this is a unique "feature" of OP devices running stock OOS?

Not only oneplus "feature". Other device too. My previous phone could not work gesture, when freeze stock launcher: Xiaomi Mi A2.
My issue might be related.
I updated my OnePlus 6 to OOS 10.0 stable when it was released.
However, due to the missing "fastboot boot" feature, I couldn't re-flash TWRP (and Magisk).
Now that 10.3 was released and "fastboot boot" works again, I booted TWRP, flashed it and then Magisk according to https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/how-to-flash-twrp-magisk-android-10-t3988213
Now - everything works fine - only the recent apps feature is totally broken (as in - I press the recent button, nothing happens).
I run SmartLauncher and do NOT have the OnePlus Launcher frozen/uninstalled.
I tried to install the OP Launcher 2.5.1 (to get vertical scrolling back) - didn't help.
Installed most recent OP Launcher - still, no change.
I force closed the launcher, rebooted, so far nothing helped.
Any ideas?
Kind regards

Android 10 fully integrates recents with stock launcher, so if you stop the stock launcher, recents screen won't work anymore
Are we talking about the Android Stock launcher, or the OnePlus stock launcher?
I have the latter installed, and it's neither stopped, frozen or anything like that. I even made it my default launcher for a moment, still the recents button does nothing...

Hard to say what's going wrong. From what I get recent functionality now is part of the OP launcher.
Setting your installed OP launcher the default launcher you should have recents back. If not then something must be wrong with your OOS version.
Just checked: with OOS 10.3.0 my OP launcher's version is 4.1.1.191125... and so on. Is that your version as well?

Yeah, same version, ending on ...1307ad5. Afaik it auto-updates via Play Store.
So, it "should" work, but it doesn't. I'll try to redownload 10.3 and reflash it, hope that it restores something that I broke...

Yep, that's what it looks like. So you mean this is a unique "feature" of OP devices running stock OOS?

Hi Thanks for the info, as a quick update Ive found that if I dont set any launcher as a default then the recent apps works fine, but as soon as I set any to the default launcher status the recent apps menu doesnt work anymore
I could set Poco as the default but I have launched it and gone through all the permissions etc. but when I launch another launcher I actually want to use the recent apps button no longer works, so either way its no good unless I never set any app as a default launcher which is ridiculous
Not sure how I can fix it either theres not much support on XDA on this phone, although overall its a good phone just let down by Android 10.
Maybe possible that I resent the device and not let it update to Android 10 although its all set up to go :crying: in the hope that Android 9 doesnt have this affect. Is there any scripts or fixes out there for forcing the recent apps button to work overriding the permissions set?
Any help appreciated on this unusual error :fingers-crossed:

Also Im wanting to use Smart launcher 5 but the Poco looks stock ish but Ive never liked this. I have the Armor X5 so Poco is the default on installation. I know there was much issue with Oneplus 6 phones, but Im not using gestures (dont like it) I just want stock android recent apps button to work.
Ive tried over laying navigation apps but of course none will work once a default launcher is set.
