It didn't worked. So now what should i do?

We're going off-topic here, but in the UK an update was made available a couple or three days ago. The same should happen in India very soon. When It does, your phone will automatically let you know that a later version of the software Is available. So it's just a matter of waiting.

No problem, you won't be dissapointed. This is the best device I've had and the list is pretty long!;)

Oh yeah I'm overly excited about this phone, really looking forward to everything this phone offers coupled with 4G LTE on Verizon unlimited data plan, the days till release are just creeping on so slowly.

Samsung email app missing after StarX install

Mine had Twitter in it from the time the multi view was installed.


Has anyone else noticed that the email app is missing after flashing Strax rom? There are other apps that I can use for Outlook mail but this is the only one that can split screen. Is the app available as a separate apk?

Kakao Talk (3rd party messaging app very similar to Whatsapp Messenger) supports split screen. We are on the bleeding edge of split screen app compatibility with the Note 2. The future looks bright but we'll have to be patient.

there is a string within framework-res.apk in /res/values/arrays.xml - it is defining the apps running with multiwindow:

Code:
    <string-array name="config_multiWindowSupportAppList">
        <item>com.android.browser</item>
        <item>com.android.email</item>
        <item>com.android.mms</item>
        <item>com.sec.android.gallery3d</item>
        <item>com.sec.android.app.snotebook</item>
        <item>com.sec.chaton</item>
        <item>com.google.android.apps.maps</item>
        <item>com.google.android.maps</item>
        <item>com.google.android.gm</item>
        <item>com.google.android.talk</item>
        <item>com.google.android.youtube</item>
        <item>com.google.android.gsf.login</item>
        <item>com.android.chrome</item>
        <item>com.facebook.katana</item>
        <item>com.kakao.talk</item>
        <item>com.twitter.android</item>
        <item>com.infraware.polarisviewer4</item>
    </string-array>

So maybe a Note2 cooker or dev can add various other apps....I don't use a Note2 right now, so I will not do :)

    So it seems that only certain apps work with multi-screen and it is not just samsung apps.

    Here I plan (with your help) to create a difinitive list of all apps that will work.

    I have already noticed that some apps allow themselves to be splitscreened even when they do not appear in that list e.g. official twitter app.

    Some apps you will find when you press the edit button, you can then drag them to the main list, or remove ones you do not use.

    Samsung Apps
    - ChatON
    - Email
    - Gallery
    - Internet
    - Messaging
    - S-Note
    - Video Player

    Google Apps
    - Chrome
    - Gmail
    - Maps
    - Talk
    - Youtube

    Third Party Apps
    - Facebook
    - Official Twitter app
    - Polaris (Viewer)


    Note: you will need to be using Samsung stock keyboard to benefit from typing when on multi-screen mode, otherwise your keyboard will cover the entire bottom screen.

    Hello,

    ¡I just found some a nice surprise!
    looking at running services, finally found that com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService its how control what app get listed in our whilelist apps to keep it on multiwindows.

    XML info its saved at: /data/data/com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService\shared_prefs/flash_bar_list.xml

    Code:
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>
    <map>
    <int name="com.sec.chaton.HomeActivity" value="1" />
    <int name="com.google.android.apps.chrome.Main" value="2" />
    <int name="com.android.email.activity.Welcome" value="3" />
    <int name="com.sec.android.gallery3d.app.Gallery" value="4" />
    <int name="com.facebook.katana.LoginActivity" value="5" />
    <int name="com.google.android.gm.ConversationListActivityGmail" value="6" />
    <int name="com.google.android.talk.SigningInActivity" value="7" />
    <int name="com.android.browser.BrowserActivity" value="8" />
    <int name="com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity" value="9" />
    <int name="com.android.mms.ui.ConversationComposer" value="10" />
    <int name="com.twitter.android.StartActivity" value="11" />
    <int name="com.infraware.filemanager.FmFileTreeListActivity" value="12" />
    <int name="com.sec.android.app.videoplayer.activity.MainTab" value="13" />
    <int name="com.google.android.youtube.app.honeycomb.Shell$HomeActivity" value="14" />
    <int name="NUM_APP_IN_FILE" value="15" />
    <boolean name="FILE_SAVE" value="true" />
    </map>

    After deoxing flashbarservice and jar it ive got the clear sources! Thats whats im going to share here!

    Our interesting right now its allow to give new apps in the whitelist, i tried to manage a few things, like dont allow write, not autosave, and adding by myself my some of this functions in FlashBarInfo.java must to be retouched.

    I need some sleep maybe tomorrow finally i can bypass the filters!

    Regards,
    Kasha

    Please Op, you started a great thread that was stickied. How about an update to the list with everyone's feedback? You can literally save days maybe years of total time spent of everyone combined of people having to read through these pages.

    you are the Dev :D

    Should be possible...somehow...for a good dev...;)

    yeah, I have forgotten all my xml editing rules (in the past I set up a set of rules for myself on what can be edited easily via remote control and what can't)

    I will have to have a play some time this week when I have the time.
