I just finished updating this for Kit Kat, so I figured I'd post it now that there are a few ways of getting 4.4 on our Verizon S4's.
It's your typical "enable multi-window for any app" app with a few extra bells and whistles for the donate version. I don't really like mods that enable every single app because it gets messy and lags the tray out pretty bad, so I made this to let you pick and choose which ones to enable. This is still a WIP, so feel free to give suggestions / bug reports.
Create shortcuts to launch 2 apps in windowed mode at the same time
Create shortcuts to launch any app in windowed mode...the point of this being that it allows you to use 3rd party side bar launchers such as GloveBox, SwipePad, etc. in place of the stock flashbar
Launch 2 instances of the same app...some apps don't work. most browsers don't (4.4 samsung browser does by default)
Backup/Restore your enabled apps list
Auto enable newly installed apps
Inverted (Black) flashbar theme
Remove icon labels from the flashbar

Just to share my expierence. After upgrading to latest FB app last night, tried to start app, but it said something like "on some android phones you must reboot in order to get all the icons". I rebooted and .... puffffff. Suddenly I got a millions of "Touch wizz unexpectedly stoped", but also for all many other apps. I couldt reach software menu for turn off the phone, so i must hold turn off button for about 10 secconds, in order to turn it off. After I left the phone off for whole night, somehow it worked and i could uninstall FB app, but only through market, not through settings-> applications->organize applications. I would like to know if someone else had same problems.

I downloaded the new facebook app also, but haven't had any FC's since. The only change that I've noticed is that it adds 2 separate apps to the app drawer (camera, messenger). I'm unable to access the front camera on my phone using facebook's app though.

I'm trying to set a wallpaper from my gallery and it is not allowing me to choose a wide format to accommodate a 3 panel home screen. It only allows me to chose a single panel and when I slide to a panel after its set it leaves artifacts behind. See attached image.

I now think it has to do with my Launcher Pro.
I set it to not scroll the background for now.

My S2 didn't have this problem. I could choose multi or single panel.
Strange.

yea im having the same problem.. and im on LPP...
the touchwiz gallery app that ships with the gs3 doesn't let you set a scrollable background but if you copy the gallery2 apk (you can have both the touchwiz gallery and cm9 gallery on the phone at the same time) to set your background, which will do the background scrolling.
found this out tonight (after putting cm9's gallery on my phone this afternoon for something else).
I'm not sure if anyone else has tried it, but LMT launcher (not really a launcher) DOES work on the DX2!! Only setback I've found so far is that "slices" used for app launching, literally show up as "app". This is fine for me though, because I'm just using it for toggles, and those icons are showing up--at least on CM7--I haven't tried it on anything else.
If what I've said confuses the mind, here are a few informative links!

This app would be perfect if I could figure out how to launch the stock task switcher from the pie. The task switcher button wouldn't work, and I have tried keying longpress of the soft home to trigger recent apps, but no luck. Long press of the search button (to trigger voice search) worked great.
Its a pretty cool idea. And it matches the browser quick controls so I like the consistency. I tried it out on my phone for a little while but ended up disabling it. I have so many ways already to quickly launch apps and get into settings etc. lol.
About the app icons, if you go into the settings and scroll all the way down, there is an option that says "Show app images". Set that to 1
funny..... in the youtube video you link, it shows how to make the app icon show up. just sayin. you made it sound like it didnt/wouldnt work or something.

That's odd, do you have any mods or customization's?
Yeah, probably should have mentioned that, I have...
-Remove E911 icom
-Added Wifi, WiFi hot spot and Air gesture toggle
-Removed ongoing Wifi notification
-Xposed mod to have all apps in multi window
-Free Wifi tether
-4 menu reboot
I also have stock rooted odex rom

Your best bet is going to be to try and remove those mods one by one, and see what fixes it.

How do I remove mods that I flashed from recovery?
I had this on the bottom when I was adjusting the 3minit settings. I just unapplied the settings then reapplied but it didn't happen again.

On Verizon. Need a way to get extra toggles like screen rotation, flashlight. Etc
Root, install xposed, use gravity box
Any toggle app will do that.

Do we have root?
No we (Verizon) do not
i use elixer for those types of things. it is a great app that will let you build a widget with multiple options... toggles apps batter temp signal strength etc. and uses little to no juice.
this is one example. there are half a dozen or so different sized widgets.

I want to hit 'thanks' on this post because I definitely laughed out loud when I read it.
Lol
I used Widgetsoid on my old rooted Droid RAZR MAXX HD and loved it. Now on my unrooted Moto X I tried Power Toggles and realized I can't add more than 6 or 8 toggles on one row. So I decided it's time to declutter my homescreen of widgets and went with Notification Toggle and love it.
