I assume that the stock rom has the multi window option?

I dont know why it doesnt have it, it makes no sense, what kind of requirements does the multiwindow need? Ram? 1gig is enough, ask the s3, Cpu? Cmon
The tab 3, specially the 10.1 should have this

That's a bit poor....
Then again the 8.0 is pretty similar to the note 8.0 minus the stylus and the note 8.0 does have multi-window.... not sure about the note 10 though...
Multiwindow mod tester needed!
just wanted to drop in & introduce myself...i'm the developer of the multiwindow mod for several other tablets such as the tab plus, tab 2, 7.7, and note 8 (5-layout version). I think its possible that we could get multiwindow working on the the tab 3 but i'm going to need a dedicated tester (for both the 7" and 10" version) who knows how to manually install files & set permissions (which means u guys MIGHT need TWRP or AROMA) although the packages below SHOULD be ok to flash. Also...u will need to be rooted & deodexed as well and don't forget to indicate which device & variant u are using (7 or 10 inch...wifi or 3g model number)
here goes a quick test zip for the 7" ONLY...u MAY have to extract the files and install manually due to flashable zip issues i've been having

I'll give this a go this evening when i get home from work (have my tablet in hand) & report back..
may i ask the reasoning for including an empty '/data/app/ directory?
I'm guessing he probably has a zip template that he uses frequently and this particular mod doesn't require anyything in the data folder. I do the same thing.
Tried installing both your files for Tab3 10.1 3G.
Both failed with error code 255. Not sure if it's a problem with my permissions or root. but Tab is rooted with bindroid and root zip. (CWM)
I will try and install manually - but haven't done it before. so i'll have to read up on it first
EDIT - Nope. tried installing normally through recovery and manually - both failed. I have all the settings set to unknown sources etc.
Let me know what you would like me to try and I will help as much as I can

You may have root, but your not on a deodexed rom... so this would fail.
Also, the recovery i made is a quick solution for us to get root.
It is not made from the source-code it is suppose to be, but givvin us root for now.
Thats why it fails on some permissions while flashing zips.... I/we are working on it...
For now there can not be tested on 10.1 gtab3 devices
ODEX TEST
i actually did forget one small thing...when u reboot u will need to uncheck then recheck multiwindow in settings/display to get the bar to appear
as far the major problem which is u not being deodexed...try the files in the new zip below
all that we need are the .odex files and original jar/apks correct...if so i have attached another zip below that will also still need to be installed manually apparently

exactly what happenned?
did u manually place the files in the there proper locations and remember to set permissions to "rw-r--r--" (there are a total of 10 files u would have to do this on)...if u did in fact set this correctly what were the results? Did u read the post above and remember to uncheck then recheck the multiwindow option in "settings-display" (probably the problem) if so at WORSE case u should have received a flashbar force close or some sort of other sign

Thanks, THEDEVIOUS1, for taking a stab at this!
I tried the deodexed mod on Infamous. I tried copying the files to system using Root Explorer, but it went into a bootloop before all of them could be copied. I then restored a backup of Infamous and tried flashing it. There were no multi-window options to be found under any of the display options, unfortunately.

i assumme you're using the 7 inch version which means u will NOT be able to install this manually through root explorer and will need to use the file manager provided in TWRP since the zip contains major system files which need to be replaced...flashing may not work at all so if u would like real results i would attempt the method i just suggested (proof of this is the fact that u should be able to use root explorer to copy ONLY the permissions files and that should be enough t to make the menu appear which means the zip is most likely broken...i have had this problem on my setup for a while but i havent been able to track it down)

Thanks for the quick reply.
I followed your suggestion (copying fikes using twrp file manager), but there is still no sign of multi-window in any of the display settings. I may be doing something wrong. I did change permissions using twrp file manager, but I did it before copying to the system folder. Let me know if it should be dine another way.

4Ok...allow me to explain myself for u and anyone else who may be reading to further understand. The systemui method is not only a superior version of multiwindow in almost every way it's also the only real "guaranteed" method to get the mod going...the drawback back being that i have to check thousands of lines of code so the probability that i will miss a few is high especially when i attempt to take shortcuts. The flashbar method seems to be close to functioning but thats exactly the point where people have been stuck at for 100+ pages in other forums (epic 4g touch is a classic example) and truth be told is much more of a guessing game which is why i put it on the back burner for the time being. So with that said...i promise we will pick back up on the flashbar version soon as i make sure the systemui version is impossible to implement but again there is NO reason this shouldnt work. I have attached another copy below that i took my time to check against the original files & found 2 errors so hopefully this is the magic fix...if not i ask that u please be patient with me and we will get this thing done. If i havent told u yet then let me tell u now...i defintely appreciate the assistance so whenever u get your pc fixed i'll be ready :highfive:

EDIT: i see a few other people have been peeping out this post (this is for @perknite in particular since i forgot to tell u when u were testing :silly so in case u guys take a shot at this i would just like to note that u need to add the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the bottom of your build prop in order to get the navbar/soft buttons & mini apps tray to appear3Multiwindow mod tester needed!

thats good news but now we have a serious problem...that one xml is responsible for EVERYTHING multiwindow related so i have to hunt down the piece of code that connects to that file wherever it is and kill it2
ok...so what i have decided to do is put together a collection of flashbar files that u can swap out the one in the test zip with. They are organized in folders according to device...hopefully one is the magic combination and if so please let me know which number it is so i can update the test zip
install instructions (10.1 users only)
1. download an alternative launcher (i use apex personally)
2. flash the test zip below (if they do not flash properly then u may need to manually install using root explorer, twrp, etc.)
3. swap out the flashbar file in "system/app" with one from the collection zip below
4. install xposed framework then reboot

^FLASHBAR COLLECTION (this is NOT a flashable zip...open the package, pick a flashbar to swap out the one in the test zip with then flash again)2Done steps 1 to 4, using Apex launcher, enabled apps don't have the "restore down" icon anywhere, but samsung apps like handrite do, touching them does nothing.
Rotating screen with systemui from post #67 gives system ui force close too takes a lot of skill not to have it force close upon start up.
Please advice next steps to be taken.
BTW, I did not have the xposed tablet UI module installed this time. I did have the build.prop line added.
Ok...I'm away from my system right now but just to let u know what's next I'm gonna bake some more android.policy and multiwindow.jar combos as well as triple check the systemui for errors
i found one obvious error...test this version and see if it force closes
View attachment SystemUI.apk (test this version first)
here's another file to try while i'm at it...if neither of these work we'll focus on the flashbar version for a while
