[MOD] [OLD VERSION] Floating Multiwindows : Resizable/Movable [LSA & LSC]

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.

How to Really Mod CM7 so you have ICS/JB on Your G2X - IT'S HERE!!!

For the most part, ICS/JB is a user interface change. Pleasant looking menus with a cool blue color. There are quite a few options out there to give your G2X the look/feel of ICS/JB but I had my eye on efficiency.
The Ice10 Theme and Holo apps are easy on the battery and use little additional CPU. Of course, if you increase cache sizes and use fancy transitions YMMV. But I'm quite happy with my ICS/JB themed phone.
1. Start with the latest CM7 Nightly. I don't know if this works with other ROMs, but it should. GB7.2 is recommended.
2. DO A NANDROID BACKUP
3. Install the ICE10 Theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003484
. . This gives you some of the ICS/JB look/feel.
. . Put the Ice10.apk on your SD Card, click to install. Then start the Theme Chooser app, select Ice10 and click Apply.
. . If you get a theme error that you are missing assets for your screen size, just click Apply Anyway. Reboot phone.
4. Install Holo Launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.hololauncher
. .Holo Launcher on XDA
. .Holo Launcher is a brilliant app that gives you the ICS app drawer, screens, and menus. The screenshots don't
. .do it justice, it looks even better than that!
5. Install Holo Locker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.locker
. .Holo Locker on XDA
. .This gives you the ICS lock screen!
For the Ice10 Theme, the G2X resolution is already 240DPI so no changes are needed.
I paid for Holo Launcher Plus because the full ICS/JB experience is well worth the $1.99. It includes additional transitions and improvements. Holo Launcher is insanely customizable! The dock is scrollable and can have up to 10 icons. The Desktop and Drawer each have settings for the "scrolling cache", which is none, Low quality, Normal quality, and High quality. All this really means is the higher the quality, the more RAM it uses to make the transitions faster and smoother You can also change the desktop and app drawer grid size so you can fit a hell of a lot more apps on your screen.
For both Holo apps, I recommend going into the Settings and disabling Auto check for Updates and Auto Report. I don't like my apps checking for updates in the background, uses battery and CPU.
The Ice10 theme XDA thread contains wonderful info on final mods you can make to truly have the complete and total ICS/JB look/feel. Keep in mind that isn't a G2X thread so some of the mods, like the final Menu mods, are phone and ROM specific, so someone would have to make those additional mods specific for the G2X and specific ROM.
The below screenshots are for my CM7 Nightly ROM. Notice how Holo Launcher gives you a dramatic difference in the Settings. The Menu button is also different and the menu options are completely customizable.
Sorry for the lo-res Starship Enterprise wallpaper but it was a camera photo taken of the TV screen some days ago. Zooming in lost lots of resolution.
This is really a fantastic mod. I have all the user interface benefits of ICS/JB while having a totally operational phone with HW acceleration. I really don't need or don't care about using any other ROM at this point, although I'm waiting for Mazout's next kernel.
Thanks to EricTheLuminant for pointing me in this direction.
Remember to THANK ME if you appreciate this!

Thanks I'll probably try the theme later tonight.
Two quick questions: what does your notification center look like? And can you pull down the notification center from the lock screen?
That makes it really easy to check my texts if its in my shirt pocket.

Yes, you can pull down the notification bar from the lock screen. I just tested it on my phone, I didn't even know ICS could do that!
With the above mods notification bar looks like a cross between ICS and GB. It can be modded to look exactly like ICS/JB.

I see you are enterprising on the theme and guide I mentioned earlier! This is good, but you are missing some vital elements that can make CM7 even more ICS/JB like.
Using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363239, you'll find many more options. If you are experienced enough or willing to read instructions carefully, you can also use the ACpatcher software to custom mod several apps and the framework to increase the experience. It's very technical, and I don't have the willpower to walk through each and every step.
However, I have made some patches already based on the 2013-03-01 cm7 nightly. I'll see if I can upload them for you guys to give it a whirl. They add ics style notifications, transitions, and phone. See the screenshots attached.

I took a quick look. My focus is on stability and performance, and some of the mod apps mentioned in that thread have huge RAM usage, crash often, and/or have more negative than positive reviews, including the status bar apps.
The Holo Locker lock screen is much better than the GB lock screen. It's easier to use. The only thing I miss is being able to change from ring to vibrate to silent from the lock screen.
Holo Launcher makes the entire experience much more pleasant. It only uses 38MB of RAM.
The Ice10 theme from what I can see uses minimal RAM.

Oh of course. I'm not talking about the RAM using apps, nor do I use any of them...I'm talking about themeing and replacing the framework and phone app to better suit ICS/JB style. That status bar image is completely stock, as is the phone.
These don't affect battery, merely the look.
Download the patches I have made from my dropbox and put them on your sd card.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/d8g2bdll7i2jn3a/jv85IfKLeG
These patches were made based on the 2013-03-01 CM7.2 Nightly, and I do not know if they will work for older versions or other roms. They are made specifically to work with the Ice10 theme. It is important that these are flashed in the correct order.
1. In CM recovery, make a nandroid backup (although you can also flash the undo.zip files in case of failure. They will restore the original unmodified apps, and you should only need to flash the update-cwm-All-in-1 ICS v11-undo.zip)
2. Select mounts and storage
3. Select mount /system
4. First Flash update-cwm-All-in-1 ICS v11-patch.zip
5. Second Flash update-cwm-JBPhone-pach.zip
6. Last Flash update-Full.ICS.Fonts-with.Clock.Font.zip
7. Wipe cache and dalvik
8. Fix permissions
9. Reboot (will take a few more minutes than usual to rebuild the cache)
Afterwards, you should notice a few things. Your status bar, notifications, font, phone, etc. will be themed more properly to ICS/JB. Good luck!

thanks
Thank to both of you. Till now i have been using ics theme on ADW launcher. Many key components were not themed to ics. Hope to get it sorted now.
Thanks again.

Install Holo Launcher and you'll think your phone came from heaven.
.
Eric, you are going to have to tell us EXACTLY what your patches include. I don't install anything blind.

That would help wouldn't it?
Inside update-cwm-All-in-1 ICS v11-patch.zip:
You'll find theme modifications to the system apps bluetooth.apk, deskclock.apk, downloadprovider.apk, music.apk, phone.apk, systemUI.apk. These will further theme the system apps to the color and style of ICS/JB.
framework-res.apk is also modified to add ICS/JB transition animations, as well as ICS/JB themed notifications and status bar.
If you look at the images I posted earlier, you'll notice that the status bar notifications have that little square on the left, in the manner of ICS.
Inside update-cwm-JBPhone-patch.zip,
you'll find another phone.apk, framework-res.apk. This must be flashed after the first patch, as it will overwrite the the previous ones. This will give your phone app a more ICS/JB style look as well. See screenshots from earlier.
The last patch, update-Full.ICS.Fonts-with.Clock.Font.zip, merely adds the ICS roboto font across your device.
The undo-patches simply return the themed apps back to the original CM7 stock ones. Is it imperative that the theme patches are flashed correctly in the instructions mentioned previously if you wish to use them.

Will the patches work with Hellfire rom?

Wow. Very very cool, Eric.
What if I only want the settings mod?

Got it! IT WORKS!
However, the headings ("Wireless and Networks", "Interface", etc) aren't the nice cool blue color. How do I get that?
BTW, if anyone is having problems copying settings.apk into system/root using ES file Explorer, after you click "Mount File System (mount /system as writable)", you need to close ES, then restart.

It has to do with the parameters set by the Ice10 theme. This is probably out of our control, unless someone edits the theme file itself to change the codes and such. Way out of my ability, anyways.

What features are unique to any custom rom that can't be found on Xposed?

My old Nexus 4 and current Nexus 7 have had a number roms flashed to them, but I've remained stock on my Nexus 5 because Xposed Frameworks has come a long way.
I haven't felt the need to flash a rom other than habit so I've stayed stock (except for trying out PA for about a day). Is Xposed missing something that can only be found on a rom or is there really just isn't much of a need to flash custom roms anymore?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

There certainly isn't much need anymore. Its all personal taste.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I'm not sure that everything is available with Xposed modules.
For instance: blur lockscreen, toggles modifications (swipe to switch, screenshot delay, toggle style, toggles per row, text color...), Enable persistence, ribbons, tons of animations, Active & lockscreen notifications, Halo, the great Theme Provider...
But a xposed module can do something that a custom rom can't so I use both.
BTW I'm fond of themes so custom roms are mandatory.

Toggle style is unique to roms. XuiMod for Xposed handles animations. Halo has a mod that works well with the app Flotifications. I think the theme chooser, then, is the only thing truly unique, though with Xblast you can theme your phone a bit and Unicon has icons taken care of.

That's kind of the point of Xposed, though. It's adding just what you want so, while we may have to install this or that from the Play Store or through a mod, it means we can also leave out a lot of things we don't use or need.

I wonder if Xposed will be around much longer. Google is moving from DEV to ART and xposed runs only on DEV. From the posts it sounds like a total rebuild which they didn't sound like was going to happen. Xposed is cool and I would like to find an alternative that runs on ART. If Xposed support ART I would be even happier.

[APP] Galaxy Icon Themer - Add Icon Pack Support to TouchWiz

Hello Friends,
Just dropped by to share my app GALAXY ICON THEMER. As the name implies it is an icon themer for rooted Samsung Galaxy devices on TouchWiz ROMs. It would seem that some Samsung Galaxy devices have native built-in Icon Pack Theming support since Jelly Bean as discovered by @M_J_Nazari although supported icon packs are limited (barely exist) as it does not support popular icon packs from the Play Store. Curiously, I wondered if it was possible to enable support for Play Store icon packs (ADW, Nova, Apex, Go, Solo, etc.) and so with some testing, I was able to do so and made this app for convenience as the manual process would take like forever.
This is a beta release so expect some bugs/issues.
SUPPORTED DEVICES: most Samsung Galaxy devices on ROOTED TouchWiz ROMs {JellyBean 4.1.2 and above including Kitkat} although not sure which devices has complete native built-in theming engine/framework/code. The theming engine may be different between devices so there may be issues/problems to consider. This app has nothing to do with the way the theming engine works or coded.
DOWNLOAD below. Install. Install some icon packs from the Play Store (most icon packs but not all). Run the app, grant supersu permission and go De-TouchWizise your stock launcher. Effect for icon theming is ALMOST systemwide. Effect on stock launcher needs no reboot, just a launcher restart which is done by the app itself. Effect systemwide needs at least a soft reboot. ENJOY.
GET the PRO version - offers per app icon theming with ability to pick icons from gallery or custom icon sets.
I would appreciate feedback/suggestions.

thanks a lot. You are always awesome. working well on Note3 S5 port Rom.

It doesn't seem to be working for me on my Galaxy S5.
I gave the app root permission, then downloaded a bunch of themes. I can tap the themes, hit "OK" on the "Apply selected theme?" message, then I even get a "Theme Applied" toast message. But nothing changes on the stock Touchwiz Home launcher.

Awesome works great. Thank you

What's the difference between paid an free versions

On pro version you would have "per app" icon control whether using custom photo from gallery or installed icon set. :good:

[Open Source][5.0+] Rootless Pixel Launcher 3.9.1 - Based on AOSP 8.1 Launcher3

Vision
My launcher is a close to AOSP launcher that only changes the necessary code to allow for small extensions and backporting to older Android versions. If you want a more feature packed launcher use Nova, Action or Lawnchair. I focus on simplicity and rock solid stability. If you do not agree with that and would rather have experimental features, you are in the wrong thread.

Glad to see you posting on XDA!
If you have time, can you submit your app to XDA Labs? Just log-in here: https://labs.xda-developers.com/
with your XDA account and add a new app.
This way users who install your launcher won't have to manually check Github for new updates as long as you upload new builds to Labs!

Nice!

Just tried this on my OnePlus 3 and I can confirm that it works amazingly fast! Thanks for all the hard work. Cheers!

working very well on Lg G5

cursor bug
large cursor when typing to search apps in app drawer. on miui8

I am having issues installing this on a Nexus 6P with the latest Android O developer preview installed. Installation progress bar freezes at about the 90% mark and the installation fails. Has anyone been able to successfully install this on a device running the O developer preview?

Ended up wiping and starting fresh with the O developer preview. After doing so, Launcher3 installed without issue. Is there any way to get the Pixel icons working with this? I downloaded the Pixel icons for 7.1.2 from apk mirror, but it doesn't seem to have taken. Thanks.

Working great on LG Aristo, Suggestion: icon pack support.

Please either add pixel icons or icon pack support. Would make this the best launcher ever!!!

Its like dream come true for me... using it on my Galaxy S8... But I have two requests and an issue:
1. could your please support pixel exclusive automatic round icons for supported apps... it is possible as Action Launcher 3 has this feature with Round Icon Option on non rooted phone.
2. Is it possible to overwrite app closing animation like stock android (slide down). this feature is available in Nova Launcher through "Reveal App Animation". I don't like the default zoom out closing app animation of my Galaxy S8.
3. Check the screenshot: the Navigation bar color is muted .. not white .. gray color.. this is related to Poor Samsung design... Nova launcher has fixed the issue... But each and every other 3rd party launcher has same problem.. kindly look into the matter..! Thanks..

Thank you.... Much appreciated work...

Thanks for share.. keep the good work continues..

Thank you for ur work but thanks even more for making a thread here on XDA!

Fix status bar

https://github.com/amirzaidi/Launcher3/releases/tag/Pixel-v1.3
- Possibly fixed Samsung's Secure Folder and MIUI from causing crashes
- Updated the requested Google Now overlay version from v0 to v5, like the O Pixel Launcher
- (EXTREMELY EXPERIMENTAL) added an entire library of obfuscated code to get the app shortcut row working
- Added a toggle for the app shortcuts, so you can disable them if they do not work properly
- Force the Pixel colours throughout the app, including the widgets and preferences
There is also a version without the entire app suggestions library in it, if it causes any problems you should try that one.

Anyway to get round icons without needing to change systemui or have root access ?

:good: Lawnchair is amazing!!! Thank you very much!

Google crashes? Oh man, that's a new thing I've never heard before. Only way I can get that to happen is in an emulator with a broken Google app variant. Is your G App up to date?

Hey, thanks a lot for your launcher, looks dope !
Just to let you know it has been featured on the biggest French - Android website today, so your Github might receive a bit more traffic
On a side note : I've tried it on my Galaxy S8, and I was not able to get the weather to show, irregardless of the number of time I've pulled down the cards to refresh google feed.
Do you happen to have an idea on how I could fix it ?
Also on a side-side note, would you implement icon support into it ? As with samsung ROMs we have the ugly looking icons instead of rounded/pixel ones.
