Multiwindow on any AOSP/CM rom [Xposed][Working]

Warning : Do not install this if you're running art on 4.4 (xposed works only with dalvik) or any other rom with multiwindow framework built in like mokee.
Here's a guide to XhaloFloatingWindow Xposed module :
Firstly basic installation Guide and Original thread
After following the guide, you will be able to launch notifications in floating window like halo, but you'll need a secondary launcher like floating notifications or bubble launcher to launch apps in floating mode.
But to get true multi window(not just halo like behaviour), do the following in xHaloFloatingWindow app.
In popup behaviour:
1) App pausing is off.
2) disable auto close checked.
3)force new windows in halo checked
4) show app in recents checked (this one's your choice)
In movable and resize :
1) turn on movable and resize
2)in titlebar settings, enable title bar.
3)in moving settings, enable all.
4)in resizing settings, nothing is on.
5) in system ui mods, prevent moving home to the front is checked, rest is off.
And the result is .....drum roll.... multi window like behaviour.
See screen shots attached
Feel free to experiment and post your results. I'm on Cm11 by CodyF86.
P.S : for some reason, opening more than one app on home screen causes the new app to hide previous app. I just open a random app, like contacts app and now opening new apps wont hide previous apps.

im not able to get that

Also take care that if you have inbuilt halo or omni multiwindow. ....
Don't follow this method results may Uneven as per developr. .....
Only it suits for simple roms without halo or omni multiwindow. ...
You can use SensonicHD rom it has in built unlimited floating multiwindow. ...you may refer bellow.... ...

I love it! it's great for tablets, but I guess it's still pretty new? some apps don't function so well with it.You said something about bubble launcher and floating notifications. I've tried bubble launcher and didn't see the difference. Maybe I've configured it wrong?
Thanks for posting!:good:

Multi Window Tutorial

A while ago someone posted a thread about Remix OS which really made me think how good that would be. Unfortunately as we can see development for this device is next to 0 so i decided make this guide for anyone who might want to have a similar experience on a stock rooted rom with xposed.
***I DID NOT MAKE ANY OF THESE APPS, I JUST ZIPPED THOSE THAT I USE AND MADE THIS TUTORIAL SO THOSE THAT WANT THIS DONT NEED TO SEARCH EVERYWHERE TO FIND THEM***
***The xhalomultiwindow beta app was found near the end of the xhalomultiwindow thread and the sidebar is from another thread on XDA and all credits for the apps go to their creators***
Firstly ... there are bugs like sometimes something will force close or some apps might freak out a bit when being resized in the floating mode and not scale properly but it works in my opinion well enough for every day use.
With this tutorial i assume that you have xposed installed and running. If you dont, just do a fast google search for *xposed for lollipop 64 bit* or something similar and you will find it on XDA.
1. Download the zip in this post and extract with 7zip
2. Install the Xhalofloatingwindow-beta apk
3. Activate module in Xposed installer and reboot
4. Install the sidebar apk
5. Run the Toggle MultiWindowSidebar app from your app drawer(this should make a arrow in a white semi circle show up on the right side of the screen-the sidebar)
6. Run the MultiWindowSidebar app from the app drawer and enable start on boot and keep service in background. Here you also add in the apps you want to have and choose how they open if you drag them or tap them from the sidebar. I have it set in Drag Launch Mode to XhaloFloatingWIndow Portrait (landscape has weird scaling) and in Tap Launch Mode to Default which will open the app like normal android would
7. Open xHaloFloatingWindow from the app drawer and in the Popup WIndow menu set the Popup Dim to 0% (it is a matter of personal taste but i like it more this way with no dimming)
8. On the next page (swipe right to movable and resizeable) enable the switch and here you can play around a bit with the settings and set them as you like
9. Do a reboot just for good measure, it probably isnt needed but i did it anyway.
10. Have fun and dont try to kill me if something freaks out because you made the window 1x1cm
Another app that works nicely with this but is totally standalone is OGyoutube, while you can use normal youtube with this the OG app also allows playing in background downloading and playing with the screen off so i would highly recommend it.

Thanks for sharing! I'll play round with this

Another screenshot of Hill Climb Racing running in one window, Adblock Browser in another window while Moonlight streaming runs in the background at 1080p 60fps (the stream keeps working with apps over it but you might need to disable App Pausing in XhaloFloatingWindow app)

HD 10 2017 Rooted and Play Store - have a few odd glitches and some questions

i'm mostly happy with this tablet, rooted with one of the great tutorials on this site (kingoroot then supersu), and I've added Google services/play store. I have a few small glitches though so I thought I'd set them down here and see if anyone else has them, and if there are any fixes. Mostly they are trivial, and some are just general questions.
(I bought the pro version of titanium backup so i could freeze some of the amazon processes (I don't really want any of them; i'll never use them so they're just going to waste battery; get in the way of nova launcher etc). I've been very careful with what I froze and "pm disable"d though.)
1) If i go to settings/storage and select internal or sd card it shows me the page briefly then goes back to the storage page.
2) When I click on settings/power/battery I don't get a graph of battery usage. Is this normal? Usually you can see how long ago you charged it, which apps have use battery etc.
3) There's no settings/accounts/google so how can I see which Google apps are syncing?
4) I had to sideload Netflix. Is this normal (for a rooted HD 10)?
5) I have 5 google accounts I've added to Google Photos (I have a lot of photos!). The initial "downloading photos" seems to take ages. Perhaps it's no slower than usual but it's not showing you the photos until they're all downloaded. Worse, this app quits by itself sometimes. It's the most unstable app I've used in the few days I've had this device.
6) The app Amazon for Tablets just quits when I try and run it. Does it require some of the background stuff I've disabled. It's not really worth enabling them for it, i'm just curious.
7) Can I somehow add a pattern unlock instead of pin/password?
8) Can I disable the lockscreen wallpaper? Where are they stored on the tablet - perhaps I can just delete them/replace with a single black jpeg.
9) Can I edit the swipe down notification options (which are currently wifi, airplane, blue shade, do not disturb, bluetooth, help, rotation, camera)?

Some apps have to be sideloaded because the app version is for cell phones only.
Amazon apps, Store and Kindle have not worked for me for awhile... Not sure what is going on.

Netflix isn't for cell phones only. It appears in the play store on my other phones and tablets.
I'm not too bothered about the Amazon stuff - I have a real kindle for reading books; this tablet is great for PDFs (which are hellish on a kindle). I'm not sure there are many apps on the amazon store which aren't on the playstore, and I guess I'll just have to live without the amazon app. The website is pretty good anyway. I suspect if I was bothered I could unroot and factory reset this device and start over and just add the play store and remove no amazon stuff, but that would be a lot worse than my current situation.

1) You debloated. It likely has something to do with Free Time and the files surrounding it's function. Unfortunately only way to fix without root, is a factory reset.
2) Download and install Activity Launcher. Tap top left panel, and then all activities. Scroll to settings, tap it, you'll see more battery options, unfortunately not detailed. Scroll down further for 'usage statistics ' for individual app usage stats.
3) Using activity launched again, still in settings, tap 'accounts'. Then tap the three dogs at the top right corner. Make sure 'auto sync' box is checked. You can't see the individual syncing options though. Also in activity launched > settings tap 'backup and reset.' Make sure the toggle to back up to Google cloud is selected. You cannot enter an email, that's for Amazon backup.
4) You can download a compatible Netflix apk from their website here.
5) Google Photos is give or take. Move pictures and whatever else you want to use, to Google Drive. That works better, especially if you keep Amazon Photos.
6) Debloating causes this across many apps. Amazon makes sure everything is connected. I don't use any Amazon apps so these are give or take as well.
7) No pattern yet. I'm working on it. I just need to figure out how to edit the SystemUI ap k and reinstall it. No luck yet.
8) Amazon Photos controls lock screen wallpaper. You can only change it through settings > display > wallpaper. That changes home and lock screen wallpapers. If you delete Amazon Photos, you lose the ability to change the lock screen. You cannot disable the lock screen wallpapers.
9) Amazon uses a different notification panel than the standard SystemUI interface. So far, with root, GravityBox changes only status bar icons, but not tiles. I have not yet figured out where Amazon tucks away their panel. Some is in SystemUI some in the framework.

Thanks for responding! It can be hard to get "the answer" to specific questions on this site sometimes!
1) I was very careful with what I altered, and as far as I know I only disabled stuff (I bought titanium pro and froze a few things that I couldn't disable even as root) so presumably I can unfreeze it. I suppose I could have poked around more without root but I was worried that I might get an amazon update I could no longer root, and that I couldn't replace the launcher with nova launcher. If this (inability to look at what items are taking up space in the sd card/internal) is the only symptom of "debloating" then it's a fair trade and I'll put up with it).
2+3) I will check out "activity launcher".
4) I didn't know about that! "Rooted or uncertified Android mobile devices are unable to download the Netflix app from the Play Store. Rooted or uncertified mobile devices are not blocked from accessing Netflix, but, depending on configuration, may not function properly." Might as well leave them up on the play store then, eh? Very odd. Still, solves my fears about sideloading tampered-with apps.
5) I use google photos on several other devices and the web. I upload stuff, move between albums, share. If I can do all of that on google drive then it might be worth whatever time it takes. I'll check it out!
6) This was one of the apps I couldn't disable until I bought titanium pro, so that's solved now. (I froze whispernet and other stuff that was taking up cpu/battery and the device didn't seem to get any more unstable).
7) It's not a big deal. I'd check out any fix you make (assuming I find out about it somehow - remember to post it in one of the forums on this site!)
8) I might temporarily enable google photos then, long enough to disable them. I'm not sure how many photos are cycled between on the lock screen, and whether they're downloaded or stored on the device. I couldn't find them when I had a quick look.
9) It's not a big deal, but i'm never going to use most of them.
Cheers!

Well, I unfroze everything (then refroze some apps like kindle, amazon for tablets (which still didn't work)) and some of the menu items have come back to life. I still can't set lockscreen wallpaper - the settings for wallpaper only affects the main screen. That's not big deal really - I don't want to fiddle with this thing forever. I can see that google and firefox are both set up to sync but clicking on them doesn't do anything. I don't get notifications on lichess, which is odd. I get notifications for youtube so it's not like the system is broken, and notifications aren't disabled on a per-app basis for lichess. The activity launcher lets me see the battery details like you said (although you can access activities directly with nova launcher so it's not required) - there's some text you can hardly read on those pages though because it's very dark text on a very dark background.

Split screen for any app?

Hi all,
I was excited to start using the split screen functionality like I used to do on my note3, but noticed that not all of my apps show the "split screen" option when I touch the apps ... dialog in the recent apps area.
Some examples of apps that DONT show the split screen option are:
Netflix
Gallery
Clash of Clans
Camera
But other apps DO allow it like youtube, chrome, and ebay
I hope I don't have to install some 3rd party multi window app to get the functionality.
Does anyone know of a way to enable this for all apps?
I'm running: Oneplus A6013, OOS 9.0.5, Magisk v17.1, 4.9.106-ElementalX-OP6-3.04#1

I figured it out!
Under Developer Options,
Scroll Down to "Force activities to be resizable" and enable the option
Reboot
Enjoy

At least in Android 10 it doesn't work.
It makes the apps "resizable", but not "splittable".

(GUIDE) Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini Value Edition Customizations - AOSP Nougat Style

Hello Everyone!
In the present year. I see that the development of roms for this terminal is too low, we only have 2 Cyanogenmod roms that continue today in bootloop, despite the efforts of some contributors in this forum. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...om-s-iii-mini-value-edition-gt-i8200-t3432885
Not to mention that there are other roms that are only modifications to the system, based on Samsung's own touchwiz, in that version, jellybean, which as we know, is not compatible with many applications of Google play today. Therefore, I have spent some time developing modifications that can improve the appearance of the user interface of this terminal, based on the Stock System, so as not to have to resort to the "roms" that would deviate a bit in performance..
Compatibility:
GT-I8200N/L/Q
Requirements:
TWRP or Philz Touch Recovery
Root
REMEMBER TO DO A BACKUP OF YOUR SYSTEM IF SOMETHING WENT WRONG ON THE INSTALLATION
First, install this deodexed rom, because we need a lot of free space in the system partition. You can find the zip file here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-mini/general/rom-deodex-rom-goldenvess-3gxx-t2990545
Remember to say thanks to the developer
Next, install Baroni kernel with odin, that is alocated in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-mini/general/kernel-baroni-kernel-alpha-t2976241
Next, just start the system with normality, complete the setup wizard, here we start
We need the following apps for this
Solid Explorer (I reccomend this app, but you can use any other Root Explorer)
Link2SD
Wait at least 10 minutes after the startup for the Google Play Services Update
In Solid Explorer (or any other) go to this path: /system/ and replace the build.prop with the file below, and restart. (After startup, a Android Update Notification shows, this happens because the build.prop makes Google Play Services think that we have a Pixel 3 XL, don´t install the update, or you want that the Earth explode? xD) This is useful for add compatibility for some Google apps that we have to install for the Google AOSP Style. Like Chrome, Earth, Messenger, Photos, Keep, etc.
Next, in Solid Explorer, go to /system/app/ folder, and delete the next packages (Avoid to delete the Touchwiz home, because we need it after):
All font packages
All Samsung Packages (except phone and contacts)
Bloatware apps
Now download and copy the .apk files below in the /system/app/ folder with -rwxrwxrwx (777) permissions.
Now, delete the app data of Play Store and Google Play Services, open Play Store and install this Google Apps:
Google App
Google Chrome
Google Photos
Google Text-to-speech
Google Keep
Google Calendar
All Play Apps (Music, Movies, Books, Games)
Google Messenger
Now, with Link2SD integrate all installed apps in the /system partition.
Next, fully shutdown your phone for 5-10 minutes (I´m sure that the phone is to 2000ºC after all of that modifications xD)
Start your phone and install Xposed Installer (Don´t worry, you can install Xposed like an AOSP phone, because this touchwiz variant doesn´t have much differences)
Before restarting after installation, download the following Modules:
Gravitybox (JB)
Wanam Xposed (Jellybean)
Monster UI
DroidTint
Remember to activate this modules after rebooting for save time, this process is too long, but, looks nice after all
After reboot, go to Gravitybox, in the status bar settings, go down and activate "Use lollipop signal icons", and up, in the status bar colors section, activate the "colored icons" option, and configure the icon color to white (#ffffff), next, in the start page, go to transparency settings and set all to 100%.
In Monster UI, set the primary and secondary colors to pure google blue (ff0076ff). In the framework settings, do the same with switchers, checkboxes, progressbar and seekbar. And finally, in SystemUI TW settings, disable status bar icons; extended status bar, and recent panel (optional).
Finally, in Wanam Xposed, go to notification panel settings, and set the clock size to small, the default position is right, but if you want, you can set it to the left for a better look. And this is the good part, the notification panel personalization, really, it looks really nice
Go to theme settings
Set the header background color to dark gray (ff292929)
Use the same color for: Notification Background, Title Bar Background, Clear Button Background, Bar Color, Background Color and Tile Background Color
Use the white color (e5ffffff) for: Title Bar Text Color and Icon Color
Enable: Hide no notifications title bar, divider line and handle divider line.
Remember that in DroidTint you just disable the darker tint and that´s all.
Restart and enjoy you brand new system
Optional:
Copy the boot and shut animations from Pixel in /system/media/ that are located in the same link below.
Change the lcd density in the build.prop file to 225 and restart.
Add the following lines in the build.prop file for a better boot and shut animations perfomance
boot.fps=30
shut.fps=30
Here are all the needed files:
