Adding ALL Apps to Multi-Window

Hi, I see there are a couple tutorials for the Note 2 regarding expanding the choice of apps to Multi-Window. Just wondering if anyone has tried it yet on the S4? I'm certain that this will be part of future ROM's and it looks it's mainly a process of modifying apk's which is above my skill level, unfortunately.
Thanks in advance!

I tried the Galaxy Note 2 method with no luck I am going to try some build prop tweaks tonight and I will report back.

An app called multi window manager on the play store that does that very nicely ... I used to use it on my note 10.1

I also can't wait to root to customize which app icons appear in the shortcut bar in the task bar with headphones plugged in.

One thing that's pretty interesting/entertaining is that since I downloaded this app, my status bar goes away anytime I use the XDA Premium app, but it doesn't do this on any other app, lol!

How do you use HDR+ in new 4.4 camera?

I can't find any option anywhere

I don't see it in there. I see picture size, exposure settings, countdown timer and white balance.

Yeah it's gone

We need the camera apk from nexus 5
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Won't work. This is taken from the N5 board, about someone who lost HDR+
Thanks to everyone that helped out.
I found the culprit. I changed my build prop to be a Galaxy Note 3 so I could run Polaris Office.
I have changed it all back and after a camera data wipe it all returned.
So if any of you want to change the device name for any reason, it will disable the HDR+ mode.

But here's the apk anyway:

You can try changing your build.prop to a Nexus 5 but then you'll probably break other stuff on the Note 3

Home button

Anyone know of a way to change the double tap home screen to Google now?

isn't that more of a kernal option?

I honestly don't know but I want it badly
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

It is not a kernel option. You will need root, you will need to remove or freeze S-Voice and then use an xposed app (can't remember what) to change what launches with a double press.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-1337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Nottach Module will fix that. Install Xposed, then Nottach, and you're set.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

Home2 Shortcut in the play store will also do that. Just make sure you disable Samsung voice whatever in the settings>app menu.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

Do either of the apps above allow you to set any type of shortcut for the home button (long-press or double-tap)?

Some apps require that S-Voice is still enabled.

If Nottach is not working use wanam xposed module. Other way is to install Nova launcher and configure the option for home key binding.

I can't get adw to stick as my default launcher

I can't seem to get this launcher to stick.
I'm not rooted btw. Tia

It's been a while but I think the trick is to remove ALL of the widgets from the touchwiz screens. I fought with the same issue when moving from my Charge to the Note 3.
Edit: I'm still not rooted either.

does that include folders?

Can't say for sure. I deleted everything and started clean - no apps, no widgets, nothing. I think the widgets are all that matter since many of them are always "active".

Has any one else run I to this problem...cuz it's driving me nuts

Nothing?

I will be setting up my wife's Note 2 this weekend with ADW. Will keep notes as to what I had to do and will pass it along. I know it was the same issue with Charge and this beast.
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Try long pressing the home button, then select task manager, then select clear defaults and then clear the default launcher. When you press the home screen again it will ask which launcher, select ADW and tap always.
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Yep That will do it.

OT: I conversed with you over at the Charge forum. I got my Note3 last Wednesday, I'm in love and my wife's jealous. She got a S4 and is complaining about her battery running down.
On Topic: I'm using Next Launcher and didn't have any problems with it and my touchwiz setup.

On screen soft key buttons

Hello there. I would like to ask is it possible to get soft key buttons like the one in nexus 5 (transparent one) on note 3 with stock rom?

You can do so. I followed this video. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9mhcvWgAULI
Edit: the keys won't be transparent though.

If you are rooted you could install Xposed Framework and Gravitybox module.
Gravitybox can enable navigation bar amongst a lot of other tweaks.

Thank you very much. But still got 1 question, how could I move the menu button to the left side?
(I don't want to enable custom key since it's not useful to me?

Hmm, I don't know how to do that.
I'm using the default setting so: Recents - Home - Back - Menu
I have menu set to always show but the only buttons I can change the position of with Gravitybox is swap Recents and Back.
