ok...before i get into making any heavy duty changes i have attached a systemui file that i want both of u guys to try and see if your tab still boots. This may result in a bootloop so please backup before u begin... i have put togethor a flashable zip but keep in mind that u may need to extract the systemui.apk & install manually using TWRP or AROMA with proper permissions
i aplogize guys but i failed to mention that u will need to add the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the bottom of your build prop*

^412 TEST (there are no device specific files inside the zip so it can be flashed on both the P31xx & P51xx...u must be deodexed & will need busybox installed as well)

Tab bootup, systemui crash and navigation drawer not shown up.
Reset permision of system ui on aroma, gives same result
i aplogize guys but i failed to mention that u will need to add the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the bottom of your build prop (this MAY be enough to fix the force close)...also u my need to install xposed app settings and play with the dpi & resolution as well as xlarge res checkbox

^TRY THIS ONE TOO (it will take me a minute to bake the actual file....make the build prop change and try the other one again as well as this one)
one more thing...you keyboard MAY cause a systemui force close so u might want to try switching it

No problem THEDEVIOUS. Can you just provide better better instructions because I dont have much knowledge when it is related to messing about with the build.prop and the DPI 
Really hope you can cook this perfectly! :good:

It's still crashing . I did the following steps: flashed the zip, edited build.prop and then installed SystemUI.apk with permmisions.

is there a possibility to correct that issue, because this clearly shows that there is problem with the dpi settings when using this mod...
means not only s planner is affected but many other thingies that leads to slow down the really buggy/slower android 4.2.2
Opens default apps in native mode,kinda like a sidebar app launcher, works well in alternative mode, except for the large icon when minimized bug, stillndont know how to use split screen mode, any ideas?

Open mw manager app and add all the apps that you want to enable as split windows and reboot the tab.. Now slide to see the apps from slider then tap on edit and drag the apps to the slider.. These apps can be used for split screen.. When u r using a a split enabled app, open up the slider and drag the app that you want to top or bottom of the screen to enable split Window..

I am having problems with multi-window. When I turn the option on or off, it always crashes SystemUI.apk. And then, when turning the option on, the service crashes. I need some help here! Using stock firmware, deodexed personally, GT-p3113, 7".

SPlanner fix
i apologize but i've been working on the mod for 3 more devices as well as getting a new version ready for 3 others....i assumed the other tab 2 users would be of more help since i dont actually own the device. Long story short...i dont use splanner but i installed the attached version and i seemed to function fine. One bug i noticed is the when u click on an event the "edit" or "delete" buttons dont do anything but if u long click on the event u get a menu with the same options that actually work.

4.1.2 version?
It's there a possibility to continue to develope 4.1.2 version. Personally 4.2.2 is useless for me... Samsung just ruined device with 4.2.2. ?..

try this for 4.1.2
to be honest it's not really a priority since u guys actually have a working version...i'm working on 2 devices with requests from users of 2 others that do not have multiwindow at all but test the zip i've attached and see if your tab boots. U will need to add the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the bottom of your build prop & also install busybox if u it isn't already...if i can find a lil time i'll bake a version using the native tab 2 systemui. If this boots please test to see if your miniapps panel works...after this i'll still need to mod android.policy.jar so let me know

(please be aware...the permissions MAY need to be manually set on the included files)

tab able to boot up, no systemUI crash, but have to modify some permission as u've said.
miniapps didn't work.
so did the home & back buttons and everything else function as normal? did the arrow even appear for the mini apps & if so what exactly happens when u press it? just so we're clear...the tab 2 does have the mini apps tray by default correct? i need those details if u dont mind & thanks for testing...i'll be back in about 20 mintutes with the modded native tab 2 systemui

23DISCLAIMER: I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE...BE SURE TO BACKUP BEFORE YOU BEGIN AS ALWAYS!
Install Instructions (please keep in mind that i do NOT own a Tab 2 which means i depend on feedback from actual users...thx)
1. Install CWM or TWRP recovery
2. Flash a rooted & deodexed 4.2.2 rom (this mod SHOULD work with any firmware)
3. Install BusyBox (needed for zip installation as well as mode switcher app)
4. Download an alternative launcher (i use apex personally)
5. Flash the V1 for your device (P51xx owners may experience force closes until step 6 is performed)
6. Click the xposed installer, press install/update then go to modules and place a check in "MW Apps Manager" and reboot (this allows u to add other apps to the multiwindow menu)
7. After reboot uncheck then re-check multiwindow in "settings-display" to activate flashbar (or hold the back button until it appears)
Known Issues
1. Huge icon when minimized
2. Email force close
3. For some reason (i have an educated guess) u MUST have xposed framework installed (already included in zip) or else freezing/force closing will occur
This mod will enable dual/split multiwindow mode by default...If u would like to switch to floating windows then use the app created by @xperiacle linked to below. For those who prefer permanent floating windows then simply delete the "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml" located in "system-etc-permissions"...if u would rather have both split AND floating windows AT THE SAME TIME (this is the best of both worlds but requires specific dpi settings) then there should be a way to get this working as well but i would need a user who is willing to help me figure out the proper settings for your device (try 176 dpi which is what worked on my P6200). One more thing...when reporting problems please indicate which device u are using (7" or 10.1") and what variant (P3110, P5100 etc.)

^MULTIWINDOW MODE SWITCHER (warning...this app is mentioned ONLY for its ability to change multiwindow mode so do NOT use it to change UI mode!)
Also...i have seen a few users request a multiwindow toggle in the notification panel so i will link to the guide on how to enable this as well (u can also use this to add other quick panel buttons such as hotspot as well!)

^TAB 3 MULTIWINDOW THREAD (follow the instructions in post #92 & post your results over there...i need a dependable tester but i think it can definitely be done)
here goes another 4.1.2 test zip for u to try...if this doesnt work i MAY need to alter the systemui a bit but this should be close
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. you MUST be on a DEOEXED 4.1.2 TOUCHWIZ BASED ROM (preferably pure stock ME1 which is where this systemui originated)
2. install busybox if it's not already
3. install an alternative launcher (i use apex personally)
4. flash the test zip below through recovery (please keep in mind that the files MAY need to be manually copied with proper permissions using TWRP or AROMA)
View attachment P31xx412MultiWindowModTest5.zip3Would you please list the steps sequentially for me? I'm still having so many problems
Here's what i did to get the MultiWindow working :
1. boot into recovery and install the zip (P31xxMultiWindowV1.zip)
2. exit recovery and after you're back in in Android install the XPosed framework (using the XPosed Installer which was installed in the system by the MultiWindow zip)
3. go to modules and activate MW Apps manager and reboot the tablet (it's needed in order to activate the XPosed framework)
4. after reboot go to Settings->Display and check "MultiWindow", after a few seconds you should see the MultiWindow toolbar on the left.
If you want the "floating window" instead of the "side-by-side" style, you have 2 methods :
a) open the ZIP before step 1 and delete the "/system/etc/permissions/com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml" file from the archive
b) after step 4, using a file explorer that has root access, go to the "/system/etc/permissions/" folder on the phone and delete (or rename) the "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml" file.\ and reboot the tablet.
P.S. I had another crash, but since it was while playing with one of the XPosed modules (WanamXposed) i cannot say whether the cause was MultiWindow or the Xposed module.
It works correctly on my P3110. The pin button appears and i can click it and turns from green to gray. While it's green the app stays on top of all the other apps (even full screen apps like games).2yes, everything work normal back and home button.
and yes by default stock rom 4.1.2 do have miniapps, however after flashing zip, miniapps arrow appear but nothing happen when press it.
will wait
i really would like u to check the perms on all of the files the zip added to "system/etc/permissions" and make sure they are set to 0644 or rw-r--r--...it sounds like that MAY be the issue if everything else works well. Afterwards u can try the zip below but i think u will have the same problem so please try that first...we should be close though so hang in there

link removed: see post #72 for the newest1
i only mentioned that post for the free app...please follow the directions in the first post. Also note...any id number u see will be different for the Tab 2 since the instructions are for a different device so just look for the line "notification_panel_active_app_list" instead
