Thank you!!!!
What about minimizable, maximizable, resizable floating multi windows on your Tab?
Interested?
DISCLAIMER
I'm not responsible for anything that may happen, your Tab, your responsability . The mod works fine but one never knows, so make sure you have a Nandroid backup in case.
I made this mod for my girlfriend's S111 and it has only be tested on that model, but I'm pretty sure that it works as well on s110 and other 7 inches variants. It may work on 8 in and 10 in variants, and in any case trying won't brick your phone
If you do try please report here if it works.
It should work on both odexed and deodexed ROMs.
REQUIREMENTS
A rooted Tab and a root browser.
SCREENSHOTS
I don't have any, but have a look there, it will give you an idea:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2549794
INSTALLATION
Download the attachment, but DO NOT flash it!
Unzip it, manually copy the 4 xmls to your /system/etc/permissions folder, set perms to rw, r, r (644), reboot.
NOT ALL YOUR APPS DISPLAY IN FLOATING MODE?
When, and if, I have time I'll mod some jars to enable all apps to open in Multi Windows mode, but for now you can install either Samsung Multi Windows Manager from the play store (free);
or better, Xposed Installer and MW Apps Manager (cuz with MW Apps Manager you can set the minimum size you want for your apps, not to mention all the other benefits one can get with the fabulous Xposed Installer).
HOW TO USE THE MOD
Enable Multi Windows from your quick settings.
Launch any app from the flash bar (the bar on the side from where Multi Windows are launched), it will open in Floating Mode.
You will notice 3 buttons, minimize, maximize and close, and you can drag the window anywhere on the screen by dragging its upper left side.You can resize it too, from the sides.
When an app has been minimized it becomes a small bar that you can drag anywhere, double tap it to maximize the window again.
UPDATES?
Maybe, if I have time, but no ETA
Enjoy!

This worked great on my SM-T330NU (Tab 4. 8) back when I was on 4.4.2. It worked so good that I had to see if it would work after I updated to 5.1.1... Guess what?... It worked perfect. Just as it did on 4.4.2 So I am confirming that this still works on the same Tab, on 5.1.1 Lollipop
I'd like to try this but I don't see any downloadable files, not showing up in the xda app.

DebloatedX ROM for Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime! (MOD/SCRIPT)By: ShaDisNX255!
Based on Xtreme ROMXtreme ROM by: @Misma13
Warnings!:
* Flashing this zip will factory reset your phone!
* PLEASE CHECK THE LIST OF APPS REMOVED DOWN BELOW!!!!!
* I am removing apps that I don't need! Key word being "I". So by flashing this you are accepting my conditions. In other words, I get to choose what apps are being deleted. If you have a request of an app you don't want removed, you can easily search for the apk file on the internet or on Google Playstore. If you have a request of an app you want removed but is not included in my zip, and enough people request it, I can update my file (or you can update it yourself, if you want) to delete extra apps or exclude them from being deleted.
* Since there are a lot of apps that I am removing, there's a big possibility that I may break something like a feature YOU may be interested in. Be warned that you may experience sudden FC or a feature you want not to work. Please report if anything that YOU use is not working so I can add it to the not working list. So far, of what I've used I have not encountered any FC or any bugs, but there is always a possibility that it can happen
* I can't stress this out enough, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE, YOU ARE FLASHING THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK!
* Both these Scripts/Mods eliminate quite a few system apps. If you are planning on returning to stock, change ROMs or switch between V1 and V2 of my Script, it is NECESSARY to re-flash stock via Odin and then try the new ROM/Script
Apps that are being deleted:

As the developers here would say it:
Code:
Your warranty is now void. *
* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

* do some research if you have any concerns about flashing this zip file
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you. HARD!

STEP-BY-STEP:
(Make sure you have OEM Unlocked before trying this procedure out. To do this, you need to activate developer options by tapping on "Build number" 7 times located under Settings>About Device>Software Info. Then, go to Settings>Developer Options and make sure OEM Unlock is enabled)
0. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, read the warnings!
1. Boot into recovery
2. Flash the "DebloatedX_J2Prime" file
3. Root via the method you want (flash SuperSU zip) or you can use Magisk
4. Flash the no-verity zip

Special thanks to:
@ashyx for porting TWRP to our crappy device xd
@Misma13 for creating Xtreme ROM which I took a few apps to add S8 icons and launcher, as well as a few other apps
@spacejam for creating the app "FrontFlash Notification" (Original thread here)
Screenshots

Report No. 1
first of all... thank you for a great job. your rom-mod-script turn the device from a piece of sh*t to a usable smartphone these days...
camera, bluetooth, wifi, mtp, all work like a charm but i find some strange things with the software so far:
- i had a loop with the "samsung weather location" in the config menu (in the first boot, when we introduce our google account) it don't let me agree whit the terms. i had to disagree to enter to home screen.
- when i change the value on "app screen grid" (4x4 5x5 6x6) it does change it but don't show the icons... i need to reboot device to see the changes.
- i can't delete the second home screen. it don't show the garbage icon when i long-hold the side screen.
- "home screen settings > home screen layout > home screen only" crash.. force to close.
i know this are software bugs. but i'm just reporting it.
again... thanks for you work and for keeping this device alive.

Use the files of the XTreme rom truth, but it does not matter
I have a question, is it installed on the stock of the j2 prime or does a complete cleaning including system?

The script factory resets your phone, deteles bloatware, and then installs S8 icons and launcher. It is still stock settings, it just replaces a few things.

Yes, it seems that location is set to "Device only". Weather location tries to change it to change it to "high accuracy" but it crashes the app. You need to change to "High accuracy" manually and then try to set up weather via the widget.

This is a known "bug" among ports of the S8 home app drawer ports. To avoid rebooting the device to see the effects, just keep swiping right and it should update itself

Yeah, it's an inherited problem thanks to the S8 drawer I put on this device :/
I found that the S8 icons break Samsung e-mail. On my V2 version I will remove S8 icons because Samsung e-mail is important to me
Until I get them to work together, I will not add them back
thanks for your work OP

I don't wanna be rude or misunderstood but i edit your script and delete all the s8 part... i prefer the 100% the debloated rom + nova launcher (it looks more like stock android).
thanks for all your help and hope you can develop some custom rom in the near future.
i see you already had the knowledge and still waiting for the version 2 of this thead.
Cheers.

Hello OP.
i have a question so maybe you can help me.
I edit your script and added some lines to delete in system and priv-app (samsung contacts, email, fbinstaller, etc.) but i end up somehow erasing the dialer app (my guess is that is connected to samsungcontacts app). Trying to find de apk of the dialer i found this thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-google-pixel-contact-dialer-t3479715 ) and it works great to me... so my questions is:
If i want to add to your script the google dialer&contact apk, i just need to copy the respective files in the "priv-app" folder? substituting the "samsungInCallUI" folder?
thanks in advance for your comments.
-edit-
Also, i saw you have 2 files in the META-INF folder: 1.-updater-script and 2.-WORKING... wich one is the one? or it need the two file to debloat device?
thanks for your comments.

I'm almost sure you don't have to replace "SamsungInCallUI" as I think that's specific with the Samsung dialer, or so I would think.
I would go ahead and delete that folder
Yes, all you would need to do is copy the GoogleContacts and GoogleDialer folders in the priv-app folder
And as for the updater-script, you can ignore the one that says "WORKING"
When I was testing the script, I couldn't get the format /data function to work properly and it kept making some apps crash
The "WORKING" script was the first version of the script I got to work on this device. After that, I kept editing the script until I got it to work
So, "updater-script" formats /data correctly and "WORKING" just factory resets without formatting /data

:in Matthew McConaughey voice: alright alright alright:
thanks for the comments... i will try and delete "working" file.
by the way, do you think i'll f*ck up the device if i add the line "system/priv-app/SmartManager_v4" (device maintenance) to your debloat script?
sorry for all the questions.. its just that i like purging bloatware.
again...thanks for your comments.

Well, I really can't tell for sure. I mean all that it really does is eliminate temporary files and close background apps. You can certainly try, but again, I always recommend a backup first
Hi All
Just been given a Nokia 950XL. And have to say ugly phone but great camera!!!! But before I go setting it up etc what should I do first??
So please any advice would be appreciated.
Also include if you would recommend dual boot etc and what OS..
Also what app's would you recommend??
Whats the best compass app?
Is there an app that fully uses the Barometer etc?
Whats the Best app for Panoramic photos?
Is there any camera app alternatives etc?
Is there an OSM mapping app?
thank you in advance

Hi Lohtse,
This device is unique I spend days wake up without sleep to solve the problem of the apps and I realize something important
The problem is bad target system management by Microsoft development tools
Microsoft store is so dumb there is many helpful app but it want appear just by search
Some of the is apps "on papers" not match with your device system version but in reality you can install it and it will work
Now let me tell you it's not totally bad device if you get the exact apps on it, it will be almost like your laptop with many helpful staff
First
Check the latest updates and then you have to unlock the system so you can do some enhancements like:
Increasing Paging files from 256MB to 1GB
Transfer files via SFTP without using the USB cable
Uninstall official apps preinstalled like (Photos, Calculator..etc) -> you need this
And more..
Second
here list of apps you might have some of it but with old version:
Before you start just install the official AppInstaller to be able to install apps directly from the phone without alternative tool
Get it from here:
drive.google.com/file/d/1HfsBg8hiqlKBTroK0xvB45h_SiSBha_1/view
Also you need to read this because some of the apps need to modify the target system version before install otherwise it will not installed.
Deploy Unsigned APPX/UWP
Utilities:
Perfect Tool (Official Store)
(QR Code, Ruler, Compass, other helpful tools)
microsoft.com/en-us/p/app/9nblggh4r8dw
Microsoft Official

most of the current browsers including Coc Coc not very good.
Most of the apps I found it on windowsviet.com which they have too many helpful apps.
About Dual Boot & Windows 10 ARM
You know.. I broke my phone system more than 5 times one of them it was completely dead but I was able to recover it again,
the point is if you need to try go ahead it's good to see full windows run on a phone and able to run x86 apps as well.
But
Here is few points why it's not very important
Your mobile internal storage will be filled by 70% because of the windows partition
You need a usable phone to call and send messages, it's not comfortable to switch the boot each time
Windows 10 Mobile is almost the same base of the normal Windows it just Microsoft makes it useless but I hope someone will be able to install a service to run windows apps inside it as I discovered in Windows 10 ARM, I was surprised that some of x86 apps works very well.
If you faced any problem during the installation or you need any assist let me know.
Hi
WOW excellent response thank you so much for taking the time to reply as you have..
Could you possible explain this a little further
First
Check the latest updates and then you have to unlock the system so you can do some enhancements like:
Increasing Paging files from 256MB to 1GB
Transfer files via SFTP without using the USB cable
Uninstall official apps preinstalled like (Photos, Calculator..etc) -> you need this
And more..
As to navigation apps am more looking for OSM mapping as I create my own maps for hiking etc
Regards
Lohtse
Update
If you got a new phone usually many updates need to be installed, this will fix many problems and increase the performance.
Go to "Settings"
Update & Security
Check for update / Windows Update
if there is any update it will appear or you will see a message "Your device is up to date"
If the system need updates this will take some time, and it might be there is many update not only one so keep try until you get "Your device is up to date"
Unlock
Unlocking the system is based on your needs.
If you are using the phone for regular use you may keep it as it is.
What I was meaning with
Increasing Paging: Paging files will help to handle more applications in the background
SFTP: to transfer the data via wireless but it's totally optional you can still use the cable
Uninstall apps
If you tried to install the new version of i.e."Photos" it will not work because it's already installed.
so the solution is to remove the current app, but by default windows will not allow you to do that form the settings because it's built in.
As solution you can use "Interop Tools" by gus33000
Available Here:
Release Interop Tools v1 Version 2.1.7.0 (Legacy) · gus33000/InteropTools
This is the latest release of Interop Tools from its Version 1 source with minor updates.
github.com
More details: Interop Tools v1 Version 2.1.7.0
Install / Sideload it (Check the guide below)
And go to "General"
Then Select "Applications"
Then Navigate to "Package List"
Search for the app you need to remove it.
You will see many packages related to the same app
In the bottom actions bar there is "4 lines" icon click on it to activate it.
Now select the packages you need to remove.
Click on the trash icon and wait until the app removed
Go to main screen to check if the app removed
If it's remove you can now install the new version
Note: I'm not sure if these steps works without unlocking I didn't tried before unlock, just try before to unlock it might work.
Install apps
Now Download the apps form the links and save them in custom folder.
Go to your device Settings
Select "Update & Security"
Select "For Developers"
Select "Developer Mode"
Activate "Turn on remote diagnostics"
Activate "Authentication"
Using your computer: open the browser and enter the link that appeared in the developer page in your phone
if you got security warning message ignore it and continue (it's normal)
On your phone press "Pair" Button you will see pin code
Enter this pin code in your browser page and click "Submit"
Now you can install the app called "AppInstaller" using the web page
Once you able to install "AppInstaller" you can almost install the other apps from you mobile directly.
Note your device and computer need to be on the same network
OSM Mapping
to be honest I never used it before so I will do some search about it.
If I got anything new will let you know.
I wish most of the descriptions is clear, if you need extra details please let me know.

This version requires downloading the extensions after logging in to insidewindows.net because there is no General - Applications option in the menu by default.
Have you tried the open source Interop Tools v1 Version 2.1.7.0 made by @gus33000?

Increase the paging file (required unlocked device):
Open Interop Tools
Go to "Registry"
Select "Registry browser"
Select "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM)"
Select "System"
Select "CurrentControlSet"
Select "Control"
Select "Session Manager"
Select "Memory Management"
Select "Paging File"
Now In "Registry Value Data" Change The numbers from 256 to 1024
The final value will be "u:\pagefiles.sys 1024 1024"
Click on the "right icon at the bottom" to save the result
To check if the result saved just reopen the "Paging File" again, If the result back to the original "256" maybe your device is not unlocked yet.
Reboot the device to apply the changes.
Change Screen timeout:
Open Interop Tools
Go to "Registry"
Select "Registry browser"
Select "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM)"
Select "Software"
Select "Microsoft"
Select "Settings"
Select "Lock"
Select "DisableNever"
Set "Registry Value Data" to 0
Then go to settings and check "Never" will be available now with some extra values.

To be able to edit some of the protected registry values you need to do "Interop Unlock"
"Interop Unlock" will allow you to do almost everything you need.
Don't activate "Full Filesystem Access" In "Unlock" -> "Interop Unlock" it will not work with Lumia 950/XL and it might affect on the usb connection.
If you didn't find a clear guide for "Interop Unlock" let me know I will write a full guide based on my experiment because some of the details online line is very clear.

Thank you for that information worked a treat.
I have read that the FM radio is not activated on the 950xl, is this correct is so how do I reactivate it?
also is there away to have a bigger tile other than the three choices we have?

The radio is working by default, try this app (almost the best you could find)
Radio FM Phone
Sadly the tiles sizes are fixed as I know, if you want to add some design to the start page you can use this app
Group Tiles
and this app if you want to add custom tiles based on your needs
edgeTile
Check the attached image to see how I did some titles to organize the start page.

Thank you for that... and radio works great... Have to say am loving the 950xl.... only thing I am really missing is a good off route navigation/mapping app if I could find a good one then everything would be nearly perfect.
also is there away to install the original lumia camera app so we can get flash control(number of flashes used ) back?
finally how do I gain full access to the file system on the device???
does any one have the file for this
Lumia Cinemagraph (Official Store)
Cool app you can take photo and make part of it alive with repeated motion, just try it
microsoft.com/en-us/p/lumia-cinemagraph/9wzdncrfhx4d
will not let me download it from store to device as says not compatible with this device

It should work, ignore the compatible message just check the following:
the apps updated including "Microsoft Store" from "Menu" -> "Donwloads and updates"
there is no remaining system updates "Settings" -> "Windows update"
check if there is a "Get" button sometimes it's appear even of there is a compatibility message, click on the button if you found it.
If nothing above worked do the following:
Go to your PC
Be sure you are using the same email/account in both "Phone/PC"
Open the browser and be sure you are logged to your account/email
Open the link of the app
click on "Get"
a message will appear "you own this app"
once you get this message go back to your phone
Open Microsoft store -> Menu
Select "My Library"
Check if the app is there (you can sort the library by name which is better)
Click "Install" behind the app icon
The problem is some of the apps does not appear in Phone store but it will appear in PC store
so this trick will help you to get many apps in the same way,
but I think it will work only with the browser not the desktop app.

As per my experiments, gain the full access to the file system is not a big deal.
the files are protected anyway and some of the important folders assigned to custom users you can't have access, even if you was able to force replace the ownership of the folder and open it.. it will cause some issues with the system.
if you have something really important in the future it's better to use Mass Storage Mode, but accessing the file system while windows is running almost useless.
just don't use the feature in "Interop Tools" which called "Full Filesystem Access" I tried it before and it caused a problem with the connection with the computer I wasn't able to access the storage

Hey together,
I just tried to get started with the Fire Toolbox 9.1 on Windows 7.
Problem is: In the Toolbox the menue items are not shown. Where normally the menue buttons are (like ADB Shell, Custom Launcher etc.) there are only white boxes with no text readable. The only text i can read is the headline "main menu".
Does anyone have got an idea how to solve it?

You recommended to upgrade your PC to Windows 10. You have to report your bugs to @Datastream33 instead.
Windows 7 is End of Life so I don't think the developer is going to support the OS. Just upgrade the PC to Windows 10.
Well, thats not very helpful - you guys should be rather ashamed of yourselves - you could suggest a Win10 upgrade rather than belittling the user for having an older OS.
Or, you could just give them the answer they need....
Try changing the windows themes - I find that High Contrast #2 often works fine.....its just a display issue.....
You can download Windows 10 from the Microsoft website
