[5-Layout Multi Window Mod][N5100][N5110][Deodexed][Update 12/24/12013]

DISCLAIMER: I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE...BE SURE TO BACKUP BEFORE U BEGIN!
First and foremost thanks to @xperiacle for originally porting this version of multiwindow from the NOTE 10.1 JB leak...i'll be the first to admit that i am NOT a dev so basically this a just a hack job to enable the 5 layout mod for the N5100/5110 as well as several other samsung devices.
UPDATE V2: The phablet mode force close has been fixed which was the only real issue...please note that i may need to create a separate version for the N511x so please test and report
U MUST BE USING A DEODEXED ROM TO INSTALL THIS MOD!
TABLET INSTRUCTIONS
1. install busybox
2. download an alternative launcher (i personally use apex)
3. install mode switcher app by @xperiacle & switch to tablet mode (link below...may also need to switch to alternative multiwindow mode)
4. flash file below or open zip and manually install using aroma or twrp (don't forget to set permissions)
5. delete "flashbarservice.apk" (system/app) and "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml" (system/etc/permissions)
6. reboot and enjoy!
PHABLET INSTRUCTIONS
1. Edit your build prop by adding the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the bottom of the file
2. download an alternative launcher (I personally use apex)
3. flash file below or open zip and manually install using aroma or twrp (don't forget to set permissions)
4. delete "flashbarservice.apk" (system/app) and "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml" (system/etc/permissions)
5. reboot and enjoy!
KNOWN ISSUES
1. minimized apps will appear as huge icons (latest MJ2 MAY fix this but not sure)

yeah, you DEFINTELY shouldn't be having that many issues...i would advise that u update your tab to MF2 or try a different dpi (had another user in our forums say he had to change his)

What's the recommend dpi?
By the way, will your mod works with civato mf2 custom rom?

not sure for u guys but i would try 176/177 and 213 (since thats the default)...yes it SHOULD work with that rom but it will probably kill some of the customizations

Yes, there are a few issues but nothing i would consider to be a deal breaker...since i don't actually own a NOTE 8 (i have a P6200 which uses the same files) I will be depending upon u guys for feedback
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS (u MUST be using a deodexed rom...if u want to still use phablet mode then u can skip to step 4)

2. download an alternative launcher (i personally use apex)

I'm assuming you're using alternative mode or u have previously deleted it...if not then don't worry about it because u don't want it there anyway
As far as the notification bar missing u will need to add the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the bottom of your build prop...I apologize for leaving this out of the instructions and will go edit my post now

After lots of systemui FCs (mainly happened after a new notification is about to appear or disappear, maybe some resources were lost here), I have to roll back to original systemui.apk. I'm using chinese stock no-deodexed rom, the one comes with the device.
After that, something strange happened...
I didn't have a dalvik cache rebuild of clear up after switched back to the systemui.apk and odex of original stock firmware, so the system made some funny changes to the dex file in the cache.
And now I lost the menu soft button on the status bar (the patched systemui.apk provided here did the same. The menu button is still there, but does nothing), but gained resizable docked window, an even better version of multi-window implementation for me. (Before all this, I had to be careful with floating windows, as they were really "floats" and dragged out the docked space and changed to some strange dimensions)
Maybe some code parts of this function (mini-app style launch pad and multiwindow layout manager) was build in Note 8.0's system, but separated in different modules compared to Note 10.1 or II, as I discovered resourses of resizing controls of docked windows resides in flashbarservice.apk. I didn't check the code for it as I'm not a real developer, sorry.
So maybe someone could really make a "organ transplant operation", isolates the core part of mini-app style launch pad and window layout manager from Note 10.1's systemui.apk, and adapt it for use with Note 8.0's "internal organs" as Note 8.0 may already has all the necessary parts for this kind of multiwindow handling.

yeah, the force close issue is weird because i haven't had ANY but to be honest i think the biggest part of the trick is a fresh install with the latest firmware. Before i did that i was having a few issues myself...i know its a pain but it was DEFINITELY worth it so i guess i'm gonna have to suggest that in the op.
as far as that new multiindow mode...that's what i was using before i got the 5 layout functionality working. It's actually based off of the dpi but certain values break the "snap" function...otherwise it's done the same exact way @xperiacle explained in the "another multiwindow mode" and is essentially what his switcher app does (it probably just doesn't set proper dpi to retain the "snap" function...if i had to guess u also have xposed installed). Even better....if u reinstall the flashbar (which i'm assuming u aleady did unlesss you're using shortcuts...u may need to find another numder for dpi so the bar will show) u will notice that now u can do the slide resize as well as have dockable float which is the best version of the "regular" way...ultimately 5 layout is superior in every manner so i won't be going back but yeah i agree it's awesome

Nope, and if so I won't appreciate this
The gray deformed bar under the window in my screenshot is the resize handle, and works like in original Note 8.0 multiwindow split mode. Windows now only resize in horizontal ways, which is just what I need. In original stock multiwindow mode, the divide bar won't display and function in 120 dpi or 160 dpi.
What this mode being different from the "stock mode" is I can have a window occupied *half* of the screen, above a full screen app (something like "miniapps on steroid" ). In stock mode, I have to squeeze two apps in a divided full screen layout, and if any one of them is restored to normal mode, the layout is broken. And I can't superimpose multiwindow enabled app on a non-enabled full screen app.
By deleting com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml, I have the highly "customizable" floating window mode, like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243142
After the dalvik cache "mishap", now I have a docked window superimposed on any normal apps

4.2.2 compatable?

On 4.2.2 it works with default flashbar as a launcher of resizable windows.
In system/etc/permission rename or delete "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml"
replace with "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.tablet.xml"
You will get normal flashbar on side, but every app you swype from it launches "windowed" with option to maximize, minimize, close..resize by taking window on corners.
There is no option to minimize from fulscreen - maybe experiacle should look into the code what is missing.
When you minimize, just a "big icon" if the app appears on the middle of the screen - this must be tweaked or is in development stage at Samsung - probably for next update of N10,1.
Double tap on the icon will bring the minimized app back to state where you minimized it.
Additionally you can put minimode.tray permission + qemu.hw.mainkey=0 in buildprop and you will get all miniapps working as well.
I didnt play with 4.1.2 much, had no time and i rooted my device just now after upgrade to 4.2.2. I played a bit with the device and found out that miniaps are working with this windowing as well.

wait...so are u saying that the systemui file provided in the zip in the first post of this thread works with 4.2.2 or are u just stating that replacing the file u suggested while leaving everything else stock will produce the floating windows (basically what @xperiacle is doing in the other thread)?

Just replace that xml permision file from .phone to .tablet as i described before - everything stock, just the permission file.
Tried a lot of combinations with replacing disabling some files, but replacing this simple .tablet permision gives you floating mw launched from stock flashbar.
-you will loose stock half to half screen mw.
-every app launched from flashbar run windowed - move, resize, minimize maximize.
-when you minimize, big icon of the app appears...doubble tap on icon restores back the app.
-maximize app - when app is fullscreen minize button is not there, so it wont work yet.
Xperiacle know more where the proper is for enabling those resize buttons in fullscreen. I am happy so far with this, running 160dpi but no tablet mode.
I also added navbar+miniapps, i find those miniapps usefeull. So basically, we have all goodies in 4.2.2, mw+miniapps. Just to make it perfect with minimize from fullscreen.

Also i tried fixing perminsions from an app called rom manager but nothing change

Well, lol why'd you change the host file permissions?
You can easily fix this by flashing a ROM, it'll rewrite the permissions you,have currently with new ones.

[GUIDE] Enable Download Booster On Verizon - DETAIL INSTRUCTIONS

I basically took the instructions from XDA member "chronicaust" and made them simple with 1 single download link for the service files, and links to all apps needed. People were having trouble understanding the process in the original thread. So I hope this simplifies it and makes it clear for any new people. All I did was reorganize this process and hopefully make it easier for most people. The original instructions were confusing for me... I don't take credit for developing this at all!

Thank YOU!! I couldn't figure out with the other thread, this was simple and easy to follow, just a suggestion, when you mention root system folder, it would probably make it less confusing for others if you mention that it's not the actual folder called "root" under system.

Well not sure what I did wrong. Copied over the the two files into the framework folder. The phone froze and rebooted as expected. It then said optimizing about 400 apps. After that finished it just kept saying "Unfortunately, Verizon Login has stopped.", "NFC Service", "com.android.phone", "Google search", "Pica something..." and several others in an endless loop. :/
EDIT: Downloading the stock Verizon tar... What a pitty. I cannot access anything.

Yeah I changed the permissions for both. (Granted I ended up removing permissions?) The only thing I did that might be different from what you said is copy both files with the permissions already changed at the same time then it froze.

I'm not sure why so many people are obsessed with enabling this feature. People like me who don't have unlimited data don't care to piss it away with "boosting" my download speeds. Plus, I don't really download anything worth needing it anyways but all the power to the rest of you

I think most people here more like, "If I can have it, I want it" not more so the fact that they NEED it, ya know?

Yea I know what your mean. It would be really useful if you can use it with any application

I followed the steps and after it updated apps. My Wifi Tether notification icon has changed. It shows the USB one instead of the usual radio signal icon. and when I click on the notification, it takes me to the USB and Bluetooth tether screen. Whereas before, it took me right to the WIFI Tether screen.
When I backed up the files to change them back, I realized that I backed up the wrong files.
Stupid me.
Does anyone have the stock JAR and ODEX files? I'd rather have the convenience of tether than download booster.
Thanks in advance.

Omg! Thank you so much. I think I should back up my phone first before I do anything else.
Also one more question, is there a setting.odex in the framework folder? I think that's what I copied.

I basically took the instructions from XDA member "chronicaust" and made them simple with 1 single download link for the service files, and links to all apps needed. People were having trouble understanding the process in the original thread. So I hope this simplifies it and makes it clear for any new people. All I did was reorganize this process and hopefully make it easier for most people. The original instructions were confusing for me... I don't take credit for developing this at all!

I followed all the way up to replacing services.jar and when I do replace it, it says unfortunately (a bunch of apps) has stopped. It causes me to have to do a battery pull, and when I do power it back on, it gets stuck on the Verizon logo screen. I've tried it a few times with both root explorer, efs file explorer, and both files at the same time/services.jar first. Every time I try, I have to restore my rom using safestrap. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Edit: I tried flashing the zip in the main thread and it's working so far without any hiccups.

@waleed300
Can you put a disclaimer on the OP that states that enabling this (if you have native hotspot enabled) will mess with your WiFi Hotspot toggle since it replaces the services.jar? Hotspot still works, but the running notification is incorrect. Just a thought....

If you want to fix it, you have to replace your services.jar with the stock one (this is how I fixed it with the help of Versatile1). And I had a question, when your mobile hotspot running notification was the correct one, clicking the running notification took you to the hotspot options but did long pressing the quicksetting still take you to the USB tether options? Was just wondering.

Download Booster not using LTE?
So I've had Download Booster enabled for a little while after following this post. I've noticed a couple of things:
1. When downloading large files, DB doesn't always appear and when it does appear, LTE is never used.
2. During the download, DB disappears.
I wasn't sure what the reason was for the odd behavior but was curious to see if anybody else has noticed it.

I would make a donation for a 1-click apk solution like towelroot.

[MOD] TreDots: Overlay Menu on Note 3 [N9005-N900][Lollipop]

TREDOTS
OVERLAY MENU SU NOTE 3 LOLLIPOP​
Hi all,
I just developed the ability to enter the famous Overlay Menu on our Note 3: in practice, it is to be able to have the menu options in each app screen, without going through the Hardware menu.
KNOX A 0X1!
I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED​
Required
Recovery (TWRP / CWM / etc)
Root
Busybox
Files
Generic.kl (included in the last update package)
Framework (choose one of this):
Framework n9005​Framework n900​Framework n900 (N900XXUEBNL2)​Framework n900 (N900XXUEBNL4)​
Modded Phone and Clock apk
(the files Generic.ki modify your hardware keys making them like S5: left button -> App Switch - press center button -> user's choice)
Install
Download on your phone's memory (internal or external) the three required files
Using Root Explorer (or similar) to move the files Generic.kl in the / system / usr / keylayout (overwriting the previous)
Reboot into recovery and install the Framework and the app modified (clear the cache)
Restart your phone normally and clear, if the app clock error, cache of the app.
You must perform the steps in this order, otherwise you can have a bootloop!

Clock and Dialer it's a simple port from S5 app. I can add a little guide on how to edit framework - res and Generic.ki
