Only 7 apps in multitask bar - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I just got my new Verizon GNote2 today on pre-order and I'm loving the fact that the multitask bar has been included however it only has 7 apps for the multi-function and none of which I use daily. I'm hoping to root this phone as soon as there is one available. Also mine came without any headphones. I'm going to request they give me a pair because they do come with the T-Mobile version. Other than that this is a great phone.

I noticed the same thing, in the videos on YouTube there's Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and so much more that has multiwindow support, but I only get a few apps to choose from.

We can only hope the Lord of root feels pity on us soon and gives us a way to root it and a nice rom so we can get it to work like it should not how verizon wants it.:silly:

There is an app in the drawer called multiview control. You should be able to add icons there. I have the att version. Then once you open the multiview tab at the bottom it says edit. You can drag and drop apps into the tab. Not all apps are able to split the screen though. Enjoy. Hope you get root soon

Sprint's Is missing the multiview control app as well. can you post up the app?

We don't have that app, you can modify your apps manually to appear in multi view though, root not needed.

I already upload Chrome and Netflix apk's ready to be installed for multiview (you'll need to uninstall and re-install the apps)

Disabling htclinkifydispatcher.apk

So I've removed the app but run into problems opening youtube links in 3 apps. They are stock browser stock messaging and Google Talk. Google Talk crashes after removing htclinkifydispatcher stock messaging just won't open links period. Anyone know which rom to copy these apps from or a way to modify these apps so we can get the normal android "how to process these links" action?

Be sure to go into manage apps, select browser, and hit clear defaults. Then, for good measure I restarted my phone. After that, you will get the option to select what program opens the links from then on.

Breaks Phone Numbers
This appears to break the ability to click phone numbers in e-mails. No apps open when clicked a phone number. I also don't see Dialer or Phone having an option to clear defaults.
Argh, this is annoying. HTC should really make sure the stock linkifier app is really detailed with its options and settings. It sounds like netierh the stock app nor root and removing it provides a good experience for linking. The only option is to load a custom ROM?
It seems like you'd have to replace any app that HTC modified to depend on htclinkifydispatcher.

Would an older, working HtcLinkifyDispatcher.apk from Sense 3.0 be compatible?

Multiview

I don't see Youtube or Gmail in the multiview window. I only see 7 apps. Is there a way to add apps to multiview and should there be more than seven apps listed?

Not yet you will have to root. There will be a hack us at some point since there is on the other devices (carriers)
From what I've noticed. .... If you select a link from YouTube or a video link within Facebook, the multi view comes up. .. It's actually a nice feature. .. I'm glad I upgraded the original note to the note 2....

Some reviews of multiview on Youtube show Gmail and Youtube in the multiview window. Maybe Gmail and Youtube apps are supported in multiview in the unlocked international version of the phone.

Once root is available I would think those apps could be pulled from another Galaxy Note II variant. Maybe.
Anyway, I don't currently have this device yet, but is at least S-Note included?

S Planner on my VZW Note 2 is present, it's just been renamed "Calendar", not to be confused with the stock Android app also called "Calendar". Functionality is good so far.

Idea for MultiWindow

Hi guys,
This just ocurred to me. I was reading that the korean jb has multiwindow and that its hardware is very similar to our notes. Both use a snapdragon S3 and the adreno 220. Can it be posible to port? I was just trying to port multiwindow into my own and I was able to make flashbar appear, get the toggle in settings. When you open the first app it opens like normal, now the second you see that it has the little box to divide the screen, but it opens the second app in full. But you'll see a bar in the middle that is the divider for multiwindow. I don't know something im missing or something. Will post pics later So you can see what im talking about.
I'm drooling with anticipation. ..I hope you figure it out!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
This is as far as I have. I have modified the following
SecSettings.apk to add the multiwindow option
android.policy.jar
services.jar (I saw multiwindow smali inside so I did not modify any of it)
Added:
FlashBarService.apk (Taken from the N7000)
multiwindow.jar
com.sec.android.app.multiwindow.xml
com.sec.feature.flashbar.xml
com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml
com.sec.feature.multiwindow.xml
I dont know if I'm missing other things to get it fully working. Im just learning.

No. It's like I opened the app in full, but I see the divider.
Maybe the apps themselves are tide into the multi window app. Have you installed the browser from the Korean note and tried it like that?

I believe lildoggs may be somewhere in the general direction. I've been reading threads from the n7000 and note 2 threads about modding apps to be capable with multiwindow, if they aren't already supported. So if you can install the browser and maybe messenger app from the korean note, and they work that would be great. If not maybe try this tutorial from this thread to modify a few apps yourself and see if it works.
also check out this multi window manager app from the playstore if indeed you did get it working to maybe mod an app. I'm not dev, but just throwing out some things I think may be of some use to you.
I'm currently at work but will try them when I get home. Like I mentioned before from my research I see that we already have the smali files for multiwindow inside services.jar. Maybe we need the apps to be compatible.
Good luck man.

Some guys over on the Note2 have found that there is a module for exposed called all apps it looks like that allows any app to be used with the multi window.

Multiwindow

Is it possible to alter the list of apps available to multiwindow without root? I don't really care to trip knox.

I give up on waiting for a Knox-free root. What is the best multi window method? I really liked the way the old note 10.1 worked. Anything like that?

Xposed, then MW Apps Manager allows you to add apps to the multi-window list.
Pen Window Manager allows to add apps to pen window list. Pen Window Launcher allows you to open these apps without going through Air Command.
And, Pen Window Launcher coupled with GMD Gesture Control let you open Pen Window without removing SPen. You can draw a box or any custom gesture with finger!

Well I dont own a Note 10.1 (but planning to buy one and hence was going through this thread). However I have done this on my Note 2 that has got note 3 features including Pen Window and it is working like a charm. I am pretty sure it will work on Note 10.1
1) Install Pen Window Launcher (PWL), go to PWL settings, click on "Drawer Icon Action" and select "Show PWL Directly". So we will not have the floating button (and we don't need it)
2) Install GMD, go to "User Gestures" and Record a new gesture (rectangular box will be ideal), Click "Next>Select Action>Application and choose PWL and save.
With this you can launch PWL with finger on top of any app or home screen.
Actually you an have lot of other utilities as well with GMD. Alt+ Tab will be another one of them two switch between two apps (see in screen shot below).
By the way, hope your device is rooted

With the old Note, I would open Kindle and SNote then take notes by circling/copy a passage and dragging it directly on the SNote that is open in split screen.
I haven't rooted, so I haven't tried this method - but in trying this in the default multi window with Chrome and SNote I haven't found that the 2014 is as functional nor as fast as the old SNote but maybe it has something to do with my old one being rooted.
Do you have any experience with this? I'd love to know I could do that on the 2014. It was one of the most functional features I used on the original 10.1.

Then I must be confused between Xposed and the Xposed Framework. The latest version of Xposed can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47991707. This is version 2.4, but then again, maybe it's Xposed or maybe it's Xposed Framework. As you can tell, I'm not very familiar with all of this and am trying to learn all the functionalities of my 7 Android devices.
Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, so here is what I think; To use Xposed, the Framework has to be installed. To install Framework, you need to be rooted.

If you install Xposed and then click install updates within the app it installs the frameworks.
You then need to download Modules (from the Download section within Xposed), install it and enable.as per your requirements.
You need to be rooted for installation.
