This thread is now deprecated, look for the all new 5 layouts Floating Multi Windows mod here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-floating-multi-windows-t2820366/post54240351
What about minimizable, maximizable, resizable floating multi windows on your Mega?
Interested?
DISCLAIMER
I'm not responsible for anything that may happen, your Mega, your responsability . The mod works fine on mine but one never knows, so make sure you have a Nandroid backup in case.
WHERE ARE THE UPDATES?
If you had already installed the previous version (s) just scroll down until the update chapters by the end of this post...
MEGA 5.8 OWNERS
This mod has been tested on Mega 6.3 but it should work as well on Mega 5.8.
Follow the instructions, but DO NOT flash the Floating_Multi_Windows_I9200.zip since it's for the Mega 6.3 only.
If you want the full version on your Mega 5.8, upload your androidpolicy.jar and I'll mod it.
REQUIREMENTS
A rooted Mega I9200 or I9205 on JB 4.2.2, with a custom recovery (either CWM, or TWRP, or whatever) installed.
It works on both odexed and deodexed Roms, but odexed Roms will allow less features. It has been tested on XXUAMEE and I can't tell for sure whether it works on other Roms or not, but my guess is that it does. Please try and report (but don't forget to make a backup beforehands):silly:
MEGA 6.3 ON DEODEXED MJ2
DO NOT flash the Floating_Multi_Windows_I9200.zip attached here cuz it's not compatible with MJ2. Go to post #13, I've attached a MJ2 version there (it has been tested and it works, see post #14).
INSTALLATION
Using your favorite root browser navigate to /system/etc/permissions folder and find com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml.
Rename it com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml.bak (do not delete it, in case you want to revert back to static stock multi windows).
That's it for people on an odexed Rom, reboot. Now when you open an app you see an icon at the top right or at the top bottom, press it, the app switches to floating window view (I'll explain everything in a minute, let me finish this paragraph first).
For people on a deodexed Rom, flash in recovery the attached zip (if you are running MJ2 don't flash the zip attached here but the one in post #13), wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
As said above, now when you open an app you see an icon that enables you to switch to floating mode. In floating mode you see on the top bar a close, a maximize and a pin button, plus a minimize icon (for deodexed Roms only, the difference between odexed and deodexed Roms is that deodexed Roms get on top of the other features a minimize icon and a double tap feature while in floating mode).
The close and maximize icons speak by themselves. The pin button, press it, it becomes green and enables you to keep the floating window (s) allways on screen. With the pin button activated you can resize windows from the bottom, the left and the right.
Use the space between the pin and the other icons to drag and move the window to wherever it pleases you.
While in floating mode you can press the maximize icon, or double tap the center of the bar (deodexed Roms only), to get the window back to full screen mode.The minimize icon (deodexed Roms only) shrinks the window to a bar like on a computer.
Depending on your phone settings the Flash Bar may or may not work. If it still works then you can use it to launch apps directly in floating mode, and you don't need to have the pin activated to be able to rezise windows. What makes it work or not? Good question, when I first set up this mod on my phone it worked, but at one point it stopped and never came back. I have to investigate and well, you are free to investigate too, any help is highly appreciated...
Anyway, with or without Flash Bar you can have as many Floating Windows as you want, cool...:good:
YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO THE STOCK STATIC MULTI WINDOWS VIEWS?
No worries, just delete the .bak in the com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml and reboot. If you flashed the zip don't bother, it won't harm your phone since the editing I made doesn't work when com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml is active.
NOT ALL YOUR APPS DISPLAY IN FLOATING MODE?
The latest update (7 JULY 2014) takes care of that, just keep on reading
BUGS
1-When one changes screen orientation the floating windows are back to full screen size.
Solution:
change your phone's DPI. I changed mine to 195 and the bug is gone. Don't go below 193 as the systemui doesn't like it and would force close everytime the orientation changes.
2-Some apps that are natively multi windows enabled don't display nicely (they show a huge floating window). To tame them, one has to decompile the app, open res/values/dimens.xml and edit the app default and minimum sizes to have them to look as follows:
<dimen name="app_defaultsize_w">300.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="app_defaultsize_h">200.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="app_minimumsize_w">300.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="app_minimumsize_h">200.0dip</dimen>
300 and 200 are the values I use but of course you can use other values that suit you better. The default size means the size the app has when it's opened in floating mode, and the minimum size means the smallest size you can resize/shrink it.
3-When an apk is minimized as a bar, if one opens a new apk and makes it float the first mimized apk has disappeared. It doesn't happen if two or more apks are open in floating mode and then minimized/maximized (I mean, in that case one can swith between minimize/maximize without loosing the other minimized apks), it happens only if a new apk is opened while one or more are minimized. I don't know if I explained it clearly but play a bit with the mod and you'll see what I mean...
Edit: 11 dec update (see below) more or less fixed this bug.
4-You tell me:cyclops:
UPDATE 11 DEC (Tested on deodexed I9200, but it should work for all 6.3 and 5.8 Mega models)
Today I decided to install the flash bar and some xmls permissions from the note 3, and see what would come out.
To my surprise it brought three interesting improvements.
1 - Multi instance, which means that one can open at the same time two or more windows of the same app (I could open up to 4 windows of the same app, not that I would really use it but just to say:cyclops.
Quite a handy feature if you want to compare two books, or two maps, or two pics or two whatever, but note that not all apps support multi instance, and note that for some apps one can't open two windows one after the other (one has to open one window of let's say app A, then app B, then one can open a second window of app A with the first app A still open).
2 - The disappearance of minimized bars is gone (still some random disappearing) when the windows are launched from the flash bar (but it still occurs when they are launched from somewhere else).
3 - The windows are resizable to a very small size, even smaller than the minimized bars (like 50x60, and don't need anymore to have the pin enabled to be resized.
No need to drag the apps from the flash bar, just touch them and they open in floating mode (set your prefered floating size with multi windows manager).
The 5 xmls files are attached below. This zip is not flashable, I did it intentionally in order one to know what files one pushes into one's phone, in case one day one wants to remove them. So you have to unzip first, and then manually copy the 5 xmls to your /system/etc/permissions folder, set perms to rw, r, r (644), reboot.
Careful!
One of these 5 files is called com.sec.feature.multiwindow.xml, and you may think that you already have it in your /system/etc/permissions folder. Well, you certainely have a file that has the same name, but it's not the same file (look at the weight). Rename your existing file com.sec.feature.multiwindow.xml.bak and then copy the new com.sec.feature.multiwindow.xml onto the folder.
A word about static stock multi windows
I tested these files in static stock multi windows (by renaming the com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml.bak to com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml, see above) and the multi instance works, plus there is a funky recent multi windows opened apps feature on the top of the flashbar, and a bookmark function on the bottom. Well, I found these features a bit wonky, but I didn't test too much so see by yourself if you feel like it.
Your flash bar doesn't show up, and you don't have the option anymore in your settings?
It's normal, it's because com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml has been renamed com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml.bak.
Rename it com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml, reboot. Go to display in your settings, enable the flashbar. Check that it appears. Rename again com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml to com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml.bak, reboot, your flash bar is still there (Note that you don't have the option to enable/disable it in the settings. You can force stop it from the applications section in the settings, but in that case it won't restart until you reboot).
UPDATE
I found a way to have that multi windows option to show in the settings all the time.
Since it's a heavy file I didn't upload it (my internet connection is dreadful) but if someone wants it then I'll upload it.
I'm a bit busy at the moment and I didn't test all the new features extensively, but if you do and find some tricks or fine settings/improvments please report here. Thanks in advance.:silly:
UPDATE 21 DEC (tested on Mega 6.3 XXUAMEE but it should work on all 6.3 Roms, and probably 5.8's)
It's a two layouts mode, which means that you will have the ability to switch between dual and cascade mode at the press of a button.
Go to your system/app folder and rename FlashBarService.apk to FlashBarservice.apk.bak (in case you need to get back to it if the mod is not compatible with your rom).
Flash the 2LayoutsFlashbarServiceMega.zip, wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot.
Now open your FlashBar (the bar from where you launch the multi windows) and look at the top, you'll see two icons. That's it, one is for cascade mode, and the other for dual mode. When you press one it turns green, which means that the mode is activated.
If some windows disappeared and you want them back, or if you had too many windows opened in dual mode and want to put everything in order, press the cascade icon and they'll open in cascade mode (but it only works if the apps were still active, if they had been closed it obviously doesn't work).
If the FlashBarService fc, it means that it's not compatible with your rom. In this case delete the FlashBarService.apk from your system/app, remove the .bak you put at the stock one, reboot. If you want it for your rom, upload here your FlashBarservice.apk and your framework-res.apk and I'll mod it to make it two layouts enabled.
UPDATE 7 JULY 2014 (tested on Mega 6.3 DDUCNB1, it should work on other 6.3 Roms but it won't work on Mega 5.8. If you want it for your rom upload your FlashBarService.apk, services.jar, framework-res.apk and I'll mod it)
Here is a mod to make all your apps floating multi windows compatible.
I know that there are some apps here and there that do the same job but the advantage of this mod is that:
1-it works without any third part app which means that you'll save some ram and some battery,
2-with third apps when you install a new app you have to reboot to have that new app to show in the multi windows tray and to have the cascade/minimize icon to appear in full mode, whereas with this mod you don't need to reboot, the app shows straight away in the tray and so does the cascade/minimze icon.
Download AllAppsFloatingMultiWindowsMega6.3.zip, flash it from recovery, clean dalvik cache, reboot.
Bugs:
1-In dual mode, before to minimize a window press the pins from both apps to avoid the black screen issue (you'll understand what I mean when you get it).
If you get the black screen no worries, just maximize your windows, or press recents, or home, or settings, well press whatever takes you out from the black. And next time don't forget to pin both the windows before to minimize them:cyclops:...
2-You tell me...
WHAT'S NEXT?
I will mod some files to try to enable 5 layouts or Note 3's quad view, and I will try to add 2-3 things I have in mind. But no promises
YOU WANT TO HELP MAKE THIS MOD BETTER?
You are welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry to hear that you have issues...
The wiping must be done after the flash.
What you can do is go into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, then reboot.
Anyway, that's strange since the zip is harmless. Which Mega do you have? I9200?
That could be an incompatibility with MJ2...
Or, did the zip download properly? When you are flashing it do you see some text on your screen?
Sometimes, since the zip contains a jar, one has to reboot twice. I don't know why but it's an issue that I have once in a while.
In the worst scenario, I mean if it still bootloops, then you'll have to restore your backup.
Good luck!
If you still don't manage to install it then it means that it's an incompatibility with MJ2, in that case upload your androidpolicy.jar and your framework-res.apk and I'll mod it.

I tried to flash again than wipe cache/davic, but still no luck.
I use I9200, i don't see any error message when flashing the zip, try to restart several times but still stuck at samsung logo...
So I reflash the full rom than it back to normal.
Maybe it just not compatible with MJ2

Yep, I think it's the XXUAMEE androidpolicy.jar that doesn't fit MJ2.
Upload your androidpolicy.jar and your framework-res.apk, and I'll mod for you and for other MJ2 users.
OP updated.
The update can be used with all rooted Mega variants, deodexed or odexed, 6.3 and 5.8.
It brings amongst other multi instance but well, just have a look at the OP

Nope, cuz nobody uploaded MJ2's framework-res.apk and androidpolicy.jar...
As I already said, if one wants this mod for a particular firmware (including Mega 5.8 inches) one has to upload those 2 files...
But that's in order to get the full mod. Otherwise it's possible to get 75 % of it by just renaming some files in the system/etc/permissions folder and adding some other files in the same folder, for any firmware on both Mega 6.3 and 5.8, see OP...

Please do report whether it works or not, for other people on MJ2 to know. Then if it works I'll update OP:good:.
Stay tuned, some more updates are on the way. I managed to have stock dual static multi windows and cascade/floating multi windows to work at the same time, and I'm currently working on enabling quad view and/or five layouts (no promises on those ones though, but I'll try my best:silly...
Edit;
confirmed working on MJ2 (see next post).

Probably, since it will have note 3 style multi windows, but I can't tell for sure (it hasn't been released yet).
I briefly tried a note 3 and I didn't see any floating option, but I know there are some mods like quad views (easy to implement on note 3, but not on mega )
Check note 3's forum, I think I saw something about floating windows...
thanks for the quick reply suitably named unclefab!
With note 3, yes mw etc easily created the floating window presumably on the back of the pen window feature, but not as elegant as yours or as universal as your where every window can be minimised etc. Indeed the multiwindow method is somewhat convoluted.
on my huawei ascend mate, i used the floating notifications plus xhalo windows but also somewhat iffy.

After searching high and low for a simple but eye-appealing stock quote and stock chart utility that I could use with ThrottleLauncher, I finally gave up and put one together myself. I call it ThrottleStocks.
I would like to acknowledge APBilbo for creating ThrottleLauncher. It ROCKS! I would like to also acknowledge the "PocketStock Center" work over on TreoCentral.com which helped give me the idea.
Release History:
V1.3 (28 Jan 09)
- changed chart source to www.marketwatch.com
- added week, month, 3month, 6month, 1year, and 2year stock charts
- added ability to edit stocks you've already entered into the database.
Important: If you are updating from a previous version then you will need to edit each of the stocks in your portfolio and change the chart stock symbol from the old Google one to the new www.marketwatch.com symbol.
V1.2 (26 Jan 09)
- fixed path to Mortscript and stock download scheduling
V1.1
- tried to improve error handling with stock downloading
Pre-Requistes:
1. You need ThrottleLauncher 0.9.6 installed (obviously)
2. The installation instructions below assume you are using APBilbo's TouchFlo3D theme that he distributes with ThrottleLauncher
3. You need Mortscript installed
4. You have the Segui fonts installed in your Windows\Font directory. If you don't you can find the fonts attached here. Unzip and place in windows\font directory.
To install:
1. Extract the attached zip file into your ThrottleLauncher\Setups\TouchFlo3D directory.
2. Start ThrottleConfig and Configure TouchFlo3D. On the new Stocks page choose whether you want the "Advanced" or "Basic" layout.
3. Enable the new "Stock" page in the TouchFlo3D config. Save and reload ThrottleLauncher
4. When ThrottleLauncher restarts you'll see a blank Stock page with buttons along the bottom. The first thing you'll need to do is click on the Settings button (it looks like a gear). This will open up the stocks config menu where you can perform the following;
a) Setup stock quote download schedule. Set the start and end time to download quotes, and the interval in minutes. Note that stocks will only be downloaded on week-days.
b) Enabled/Disable Stock Intra-Day chart downloads. If you are using the "Advanced" layout in ThrottleLauncher you'll need to Enable intra-day chart downloading. If you just want the basic layout you can leave chart downloading disabled and save on data downloading
c) Add stock. Here you'll be asked for the stock name, and the stock symbols. Note that currently it asks for both the stock symbol on Yahoo and on Google. The reason for this is that the quotes are downloaded from Yahoo while the charts are downloaded from Google and the stock symbols are not always the same on both sites. You'll be asked how many stocks you own and how much you paid for them...you can leave this blank as currently this data is not used.
d) Delete stock. Enter the stock symbol and it will delete it from the database.
e) Edit stock. Enter the stock symbol of the stock you want to edit...this will let you then modify its name and stock symbols.
f) Force chart refresh on exit. By default the 1month to 2 year stock charts are only downloaded once per day. If you select this option it will force an update of all the stock charts.
g) Exit. When you exit the setup it will automatically start a download of the stock data.
5. After the stock data has downloaded you will likely need to restart throttlelauncher in order for the stock page to display correctly.
Known Bugs/Issues:
This is a work in progress. The known issues are;
1. When stock charts are downloading there is a progress window that appears. I don't know yet how to get rid of this...but am looking into it.
2. ThrottleLauncher is currently unable to have a dynamic list. Currently the stocks.xml file is hardcoded to have 9 stocks displayed on the page. If you have more or less stocks in your portfolio you may want to edit the stocks.xml file and adjust the file accordingly. Look for the text in="1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9" and add or remove numbers accordingly. Note that there are two spots in the xml file where this is used. Hopefully this will get fixed in a future release of ThrottleLauncher
3. The stock tabs along the right side of the screen (in advanced layout) do not update their color correctly. This is a TL bug that is said to be fixed in the next TL release
4. Clicking on the stock chart is suppose to take you to the yahoo web-page for the stock. This doesn't work correctly at the moment.
Nice work, looks great!
my god this is great
there are people in this forum who're like Logitech. everything they do is impeccable.
one request tho.. and i hope it's doable.
is there a chance you could convert it to a regular today plugin so that people who're not using throttle launcher can use it?
This is awesome. great job!

Sorry!
A couple things to check;
1) You are using the TouchFlo3D theme that APBilbo released with TL v0.9.6
2) Prior to enabling TL you ran TL config and configured TouchFlo3D (enable Stock Tab)
3) Try running the StockConfig.mscr mortscript before enabling TL... It can be found in TouchFlo3D\Throttle Stocks\mscr
Ant plans to port this to the VGA Iphone theme?? The homepage has room for two new programs...
Thanks
24 hr Review
Using Hermes 6.0 and TL 9.6 and no problems whatsoever , well done! It runs faster than my shares are falling and looks great (only used advanced version to date). Incidentally I did not install to TouchFlo3d but straight into my own custom theme yet it still worked ok except I lost my own custom footer icons, I can still see the xml so am placing them into black n blue tonite. Thanks again
I've updated the mortscripts to try and make the stock download process more tolerant of errors (particularily timeouts). See 1st post for update.
I still haven't figured out how to stop Mortscript from display the download progress window...
I've updated the theme and scripts to now include week, month, 3month, 6month, 1year, and 2year stock charts. See the first post for the new v1.3
Version 1.3
Working very well, a good improvement, thanks.
thanks to you Great Job man!!!
Your program looks good from description but I couldn't install it correctly since I am using Throttle Launcher 1.0 RC1 (the config.xml doesn't work). Any plans to upgrade to work for TL 1.0? I would love to try and get it working. Or perhaps you could guide me in tweaking so it will work for TL 1.0. I am newbie at this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you use the TouchFlo2d theme, the Stock tab is already there. You can download that theme in the ThrottleLauncher website.

[ ROM here ] TeamLeader FB05 ROM, 1.3 & 1.2 for the new Galaxy S II LTE HD SHV-E120L
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Updated: FB05 by Teamleader [ latest ROM ]
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
NOTE , all these roms are for the E120L only. This phone is pretty new ( last i checked and is only available in Korea so most of the functions may not work on your carrier - or you'll have to find ways around them or just ask on the thread ).
> general instructions for FB05 ROM below curtesy of prodigiez
Flash your phone with tegrak kernel FB05 ( guide here )
Boot into tegrak recovery , back up system and then back up data
Go to you phonememory/tegrak/backup and copy both your system and data back to your computer or other folder. Remember to leave tegrak/backup empty
Then download the backup tar part1 part2
Extract the FB05.rar and you will see 2 files ( system.tegrak.tar and text file )
Place the system.tegrak.tar ( the one you just extracted ) into phonememory/tegrak/backup
Reboot your phone into tegrak recovery mode and choose restore from back up
Once restored , go into stock recovery mode and do a factory reset.
Voila , the new custom FB05 is now running in your phone
I removed all preinstalled chinese app with 520mb ram available and english as first language.
This rom is made by TL and some Chinese Dev from BBS forum. Credit to them. I just make it convenient for non chinese user.
Been using it for few days. No FC , acceptable battery life and able to send sms with default sms app.
In case this rom is not working for you or you dont like it , copy your system.tegrak.tar and data.tegrak.tar back into tegrak folder and restore it.

Teamleader v1.3
::::::::::::::::::::
Teamleader 1.3 is an update to 1.2, an international version of the stock rom for our phones from Korea. Its made for the Asia market but works for most other areas provided you have the same frequency - check with your telecom providers.
> Root ready: This rom is already rooted ( has superuser + rebooter ).
> Keyboards: English (U.S), Korean, Chinese
> Market, Gmail, Youtube....the usual suspects
> Chinese software for the keyboard (Baidu,...UC Browser ) << remove these with Root Explorer if needed / Freeze with Titanium Backup Pro ( see my list below of junk )
> Samsung Apps << remove these with Root Explorer if needed / Freeze with Titanium Backup Pro ( see my list below of junk )
Safe way: Use Root Explorer copy the Systems / App folder to your pc or SD card just incase you screw things up. Have Odin on standby I think this phone is unbrickable..use stock recovery tool if needed.
Let me know if you have any problems so we can share the list of bugs ( even though I'm not the dev ). Press the Thank button if it helps you, ask questions if your not sure.

How to Flash it - Steps
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Happy to report that I got some time today to flash 1.3 on the old MBP.
For those who were asking how to do this
1. Download the file E120L_Teamleader_V1-1.3.7z from here ( let me know if the source is down and I can upload mine somewhere )
( use password - "koxda" .com to extract the file<< without space on the dot com part ). After you extract the file you'll get a Odin useless file ( I assume ), and a tar extension file. You need the tar file to flash with Odin in step 8 below. Put both files in a folder on your desktop or somewhere you can easily fetch with windows explorer.
2. Make sure you have a full battery ( its recommended for better battery performance )
3. Back up important Data with the following options:
(a) Titanium Backup Pro ( if you need all your app data and installs )
(b) SMS Backup & Restore (if you need sms conversations )
(c) Call Logs Backup & Restore ( if you need call history )
(d) You can skip a,b, and c, and just use Tegrak Kernel tool to do a Nanoid backup ( but you need to flash the Tegrak Kernel via Odin found here << thanks to Prodigiez. There's instructions in Korean - please google translate it and choose the appropriate file according to your phone model.
4. Clear your Cache and Davlik Cache ( I did, I think it helps )
5. You'll need a windows pc ( I bootcamped my mac ), you'll need Samsung Drivers, you'll need Odin3 - you can find them here << thanks to Prodigiez. There's instructions in Korean - please google translate it and choose the appropriate file according to your phone model.
6. Install the Samsung Drivers, now connect your phone and windows will do its thing to install the drivers. Your phone will now be visible as a USB device.
7. Install Odin and keep Odin running. Connect your phone. Turn it into download mode , it will look something like this ( see attached photo "downloadmode" )
8. Click on "PDA" in the Odin program, choose the file ROM file ( in my case its "PDA_TeamleaderV1.3.tar ", then hit start. Odin will do its thing, the screen would look something like this ( see attached photo "odinprocress"). Once its done Odin will display something like this ( see attached photo "odinsuccess"). Your phone will reboot, disconnect the cable and you'll have a junk load of apps that you may want to remove. ( refer to my junk load apps section ). Your phone will now have the following build specs ( see attached "1.3about" photo)
Junk Apps that are running on my task manager ( see attached "junkload" photo )
I'll find time later on to clean up the apps. If you plan to remove these apps you need to use Root Explorer but first make a backup of the systems/app folder otherwise you may end up screwing up your system with FCs. Its easy to know which app is a problem. The safest way is to use Titanimum Backup Pro and freeze some apps.
Here's a list of the apps I consider "junk" on 1.3 ( if your a native English speaker that doesn't like bloatware ). Removing these apps is for experts I recommend you freeze them with Titanium - again backup your systems/app folder to avoid FC's.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
JUNK (Bloatware) on Teamleader 1.3 Rom
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Not all this is junk, if you like to have these apps please don't remove them ( experts only ).
> All Share
> Baidu Input
> Whatever the icon is with the twitter like bird
> Photo Editor
> Polaris Office ( I use Documents To Go )
> DMB
> Email ( I use Gmail )
> Kies Air ( its client on the mac has a major security hole that runs fans high - I use AirDroid )
> Home Change ( I use Launch Pro )
> Internet ( I use Dolphin Browser HD )
> Youni SMS
> QQ Security ( really guys?? Probably's stealing my data its out )
> Samsung Apps ( I've got Market + Market Enabler + Galaxy Nexus Build prop)
> Readers Hub
> Tags
> UC ( whatever - browser - crap - I use Dolphin HD )
> Voice Recorder
> There's 2-3 other apps which all have Chinese writings ( all gone )
> The Samsung JUNK. If you are like me and want to really streamline your phone and know exactly what functions you will never use, then here's a safe list ( here ) from the SGS 2 list of safe to remove apps you can try out:
If you want to do nanoid back-ups and CWM style, you will need to flash tegrak kernel using Odin again on the windows box. Then you can do the back-ups.
For now I will stick and test the kernel 1.3 comes with as I was experiencing some horrible battery drain on 1.2, my suspicion was the FC Commando game I was playing and the Alarm ( for some reason I would get FCs when setting up alarms on the clock app ). Once the alarm had gone off the phone would remain very hot until I manually ended the task using AirDroid <<< I highly recommend this app.
I'll keep testing the stock 1.3 kernel and see if my situation is solved and report. ( so far, 3 hours later, my battery is pretty good at 90% ). I still have the junk on my phone I'll remove it this weekend to see if it helps ( I'm sure it will ).
I'll keep testing this out and report, if you guys could post any bugs on here too that would be great. Lets share

OLD - Rom Teamleader 1.2 ( flash it the same way as 1.3 )
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Here's a link to the Team Leader 1.2 ROM that's very stable, fast, and good battery life as an alternative to the other stock roms out there like EJ...
Flash this through Odin and # see instructions on the attached screenshot of which button to click ( I'm not Chinese but its not rocket science to figure it out ). It downloads pretty fast inside China I have 150KB/sec...pretty impressive for Shanghai internet speeds.
Go here to download it.
Password for the extracted file is" www#.koapk.com " (remove the # )
If it downloads too slow I'll have to upload my file somewhere and hope not to get cought by the feds
Enjoy and hit that " Thank" button if you find this useful
So why post in the wrong forum ????.
Its not a question .

I've asked the mods to create a forum for this phone, hopefully it will get moved there so chillax.
Glad the speeds working out well for you mailwork. Let me know how your install works.
Does this work for e120s? Or do I need a different Team Leader rom?
there's v1.3 actually which is good rom... and fixed some fc issues... google around and you will find it..
as requested , i have uploaded this rom to a fast file hosting for free users..
Hey Prodigiez, I haven't experienced any FC issues on v1.2, did they fix the color issues on 1.3 yet? Also if you find an ICS 4.0 rom for this I'd love to get a hook up. I'm starting to miss Serendipity Rom.
Things that could get improved on this phone
----------------------------------------------------
> Power button for shooting photos like on Serendipity
> Silence the camera shutter noise
> Easier access to Data on/off, and other settings where the current the Wifi on/off, Rotate, Bluetooth, and other usual suspects on the top slide down menu on the phone
> Automatic Bluetooth visibility to ON for 30 mins upon turning on Bluetooth ( right now its a 3 click procress - pretty messed up I assume Android would have got it right by now
> Quicker shutdown / Power on
> Samsung qWerty Keyboard ( I miss the big keys even though I got a replacement app )
> Remove the funky icon next to the signal bar ( there's an icon with a no-call looking thingi next t the signal bar and power bar)
> Better audio management ( for some reason the speaker doesn't sound that loud / good ) on playing certain media.
Otherwise, this phone without doubt the best smart phone out there currently.
Sounds good thank you
Sounds good thank you !
@michael1982t,
New HD LTE owner here.
I've flashed 1.2 and am happy to report that SMS is now working properly. -relieved-
However, don't you find the colors are way off? Or maybe the brightness level is just too dim.. (apparently, this was intentional to avoid the phone overheating) Have you heard of any fix for this?
This. Phone. Rocks.
@neverborn,
Glad the rom solved your issues, I haven't experienced any overheating, just the normal heat rise due to playing the new Captian America game too long which is normal.
As for the colors, I didn't notice that on mine, strange. I did notice that the auto brightness under Settings > Display has some issues with dimming the screen on and off. So I have mine manually set to this level ( see attached photo ) which works ok for my battery and eyes.
@ prodigiez , Do you know how to remove this damn icon? See photo attached with pointed arrow, its right next to my phone signal bar.
This. Phone. Rocks.

For sure, its a monster like non other !
It's much, much, much dimmer than what it was stock. Pity for such a great screen..
Also, where are you reading about the ROMs? I'm at angeeks and google translate's not doing a very good job on it..
There's several Korean forums, this phone is basically tailored for the Korean market, there's better updates on them than on the Chinese sites I've been looking at. I'll get some links posted when I get time later today.
As for the colors, maybe its a hardware thing on your phone? Not sure. But on mine they look pretty vivid and pretty bright ( I'm on manual, I don't use the auto brightness under display settings as there seems to be a bug with it) , I care more about the battery life cause I use it for web + games + emails + lots of calling (voip + regular ). The display is the only thing that makes this phone eat battery like hell ( next to wifi). I'm sure you'll sort out and adjust it according to your daily needs.
Thanks, that'd be great.
As for the brightness, it was properly bright when I first got it. It was only after I flashed TL 1.2 that it became this dim. There was even a message when I first booted up into TL saying that they intentionally lowered the brightness levels to prevent overheating...
Wish this is better in 1.3
can someone upload screenshots or tutorial what to click on odin please?
thanx

There's the same as with any Odin install ( something like this ) but you can google for more info:
a) Download the odin zip
b) Download the drivers for your phone, there was a thread about it
c) Download the image that you need to flush
d) Plug in your phone, put it into the recovery mode I think ( on this phone its not the same as the big yellow android guy ).
Here's the full instructions for your specific phone thanks to Prodiquez
://pspmaster.tistory.com/176 << add http to the front. translate this site to english and follow the instructions. there are 3 version there ... E120S E120L E120K and the kernel itself are rooted and comes with superuser... Choose E120L or S I suppose. In your case you just need the drivers + odin zip, you don't need the kernel to flash CWM. But if you want to flush CWM you can grab the files from there. Enjoy
I could easily share the files on here if your scared of all the Korean
By the way, everyone, we are trying to get a forum home for our phone please vote on this post forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22096490 << add http to the start.
Hope this helps:
-Open Odin from the package downloaded
-Click the PDA button, pick the PDA......tar from same package
-Get into download mode
-plug in phone, make sure Odin acknowledges
-click Start
--oops, beat me to it
About to try 1.3. Hope it sorts out my brightness issue.

Neverborn is probably correct. Youtube it as well, plenty of videos that show how to use Odin. By the way im not a back fan of it, or mainly used it to rescue my old bricked Captivate. If you want the Odin, see the page I gave you a link to the file name is "Odin3_v1.85.zip"
@Neverborn
Let me know how 1.3 turns out, post any issues up on here, I may just update this to be a 1.3 rom post as well as 1.2 and keep the devs busy. Depending on your feedback I may upgrade this or next week if I get time to mess with it.

It seems that icon means you can not make any video call under current network while the icon is similar to the video call icon in the dialer.

Hello everyone! I have a LG Optimus G e977 (similar to e975) and I'm having kind of a very annoying problem. The bottom of my touch screen is broken and I'm not being able to "finish" the initial set up of CyanoGenMod 11. I was able to bypass every page by sliding to the left, but I can't do it on the very last page.
USB debugging is not activated because i haven't even got a chance to go into settings. My phone doesn't appear on "ADB" devices list. Is there anyway I can control the phone from my PC? (Windows 7).
Maybe theres a file inside the phone's internal storage indicating that the initial setup has already been donde. Could I replace it with somene else's file who already has gone through this process?
Excuse my English since it's not my mother language, but I do understand perfectly well anything written.
I really thank you for your time and patience.
On PC with an archive manager like 7zip or WinRar, open CM11 zip as archive and browse to /system/app and delete CMaccount.apk . Make sure to not unzip the rom otherwise you will need to sign the zip as well. Then install edited rom.

This almost worked. As soon as I started the phone for the first time with this new ROM, just had to choose a language and hit next, but then the "Configuration app" crashed, the screen stayed black with the battery and signal icons on top and I was unable to do anything from there.
Maybe this app saves some config files/flags inside the phone and someone can send me those in a zip file or something? So I can trick the phone as if it had already been configured.
Thanks!
Sorry. Wasn't aware that was tied to anything important at all as it is non essential to anything necessary in the phone. I never set up the CM account and always uninstall the app and have never had an problems. You might have to remove another app like Setupwizard or something along those sorts. Haven't opened up a straight CM rom zip in a bit so can't remember off the top of my head.

I finally managed to complete the setup wizard. When the Google Account config set up showed up, it was the only moment when the screen rotation worked.
1) Slide screens until the google Account set up
2) Rotate the screen
3) follow the registration wizard normally without rotating back to normal position.
4) when the "finish" button appeared at the end, i was able to click on it
Thank you very much for your attention!!

Well, its really weird. To change the default lock screen I had to modify the keyguardclient.apk because I don't know where the f*ck is the option to choose a picture from the gallery

This was the greatest hack for the Samsung Note 2014 which was lifted from the 12" Samsung tablets...
You'll need to have root.....
Download the tools.zip file below:
Inside are 3 files:
com.sec.feature.multiwindow.freestylelaunch
com.sec.feature.multiwindow.quadview
com.sec.feature.multiwindow.scaleapp
Place these three files in System/Etc/Permissions with the permissions of rw-r--r-- and reboot
Next download MW Apps Manager from the Play Store to add more multiwindow apps
- Add the programs you'll want to multitask with (some work better then others), save then reboot
Winning tablet!
(credits)
These files were originally provided by Samsung for use on their tablets.
To xperiacle for creating MultiWindow PLUS which these files are pulled from.
And to thachosenone for creating a zip file of the above persons work.
I gave this a try and for the most part it is working on my 8.4 S. An issue I see in comparison to your screenshot is that I do not have the "blue-dot." When I open a window it opens just like a window. Did I set something up incorrectly?
I dunno, if you did what was listed then no. Perhaps the 8.4 is setup differently then the 10.5? It would be nice if others can give this a try to confirm.

I have the 8.4. I think that set up is different as I have no problems. I get the blue dot. I think youre in windows view not multi view.
Fantastic! I donated to the MWM developer and requested Tab S support and it's here in quads! I see no reason to research tablets further as a 32GB version of the Tab S is now in radar lock.

Recheck your work, if not then try again.
Apply permissions once the files are in place, reboot.

If you're rooted, you don't need multi window plus, just install xposed framework, and wanam xposed. Wanam xposed has the option to add things in multi window.
I have Multi WIndow App manager, but when I tried to install Multiwindow Plus, it gave me an error saying it was not compatible with my ROM. I see where it had the four window option, but it just would not install (tried several times)
Will the four windows pop up automatically? Do I start with two and then drag more on the screen, or what?
BTW, I did copy the files to the folder and then changed permissions to rw-r-r, and then did reboot.
I will try the other methodology, but still was wondering why I could not get this to work as in the directions.

You wouldn't need the multiwindow plus app if you just installed these files.
You'll only need the app manager to add more apps to the sidebar.
Roll it all back and start over

I just got my Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and have read a few posts online saying people had mixed success with rooting. I would really like to avoid bricking my device. Does anyone have explicit instructions that they have done to root their galaxy tab s 10.5? Perhaps this is not the right thread, but I can't seem to find it on the forum.
Thanks in advance

Hey guys I can't find Apps Manager on the store I'm from mexico and is a pain in the arsh to fins somethimes apps
Any help with the link
Edit never mind guys I found it thanks work great thanks a lot
Hi,
Thank you for this trick.
I just made a flashable zip with zipme app from playstore.
Tried it and flashed well with TWRP.
Wow! Wow! Wow! (Kate Bush theme song)
Wow! Its unbelievable.
Brilliant trick. I can understand why they limit this - the RAM requirements for 4 apps may exceed what devices have when they have <2GB RAM. Having 3GB RAM was a great decision (by me ! when I decided to go for the tab-s).
Now I can enjoy having lots of windows to stare out of.
Superb work.
