hi,
I do not own a note 3 but a mega 6.3. I've installed it. I can open, choose apps, save, reboot, see info, but I can't open settings, so can't activate PEN WINDOW. Some help possible?

App works great thanks! But what I wanted it for didn't work 
I wanted to enable the camera in pen window (which worked) but I wanted to be in the camera app then open a pen window with another camera app and switch 1 of the views to front camera and keep one of the back ^^ but instead when I opened camera in pen window it just closed the other app and reopened it in pen window

The only ones that are on the left side are the ones i have added. i would like to remove browser, clock, contacts.
Does not work on sprint n900p.
I've been testing. It appears it's because the feature.xml is in /system/csc/SPR/system/csc/feature.xml position.
App shows nothing on the left every time I open the app. So it appears nothing is saving.
I'm on mi5 rom and firmware.
Lmk if you need me to test anything. I'll take a look at the components of the app tomorrow.

Interesting. I think that default location for feature.xml should be in /system/csc parent folder and when one changes csc as in the case of multi-csc firmwares/roms, the feature.xml from /system/csc/XXX/system/csc/ folder gets copied to the /system/csc folder.
Just to test. Manually edit the feature.xml in /system/csc/SPR/system/csc/ and add a package name as outlined by soloilmeglio and see if it gets added to the penwindow drawer after reboot. If it is then it is reading it from that specific folder.
How about trying to copy the feature.xml to /system/csc parent folder?
Another thing, there are posts by some sprint users confirming it works on their device which means they have the file in the /system/csc folder. Maybe a case of STOCK vs CUSTOM ROM?

VERY interesting, since it works so well on my n900p. When I open the app after ive added items, it also shows nothing on the right, but that doesn't matter. When I open the pen window, the apps I've added are there.

221Hello Friends,
Just thought I will share a very simple app I made to enable or add additional apps for Samsung's Galaxy Note series with PEN WINDOW feature like the Galaxy Note 3. For those who are willing to try, please do and would appreciate feedback. I have not tested it on a Note 3 device yet because I don't have a Note 3 so please test and let me know. Thank You.
PEN Window Manager: version 2 PLAY STORE LINK
Changelog: 22 October 2013
* removed busybox dependency
* added ability to disable default apps
* more error checking
* ability to open Pen WIndow drawer without using the Spen [Only with the PEN Window Launcher addon/plugin]
First, make sure you are rootedwith busybox installed.
Second, make a backup.
Third, just download below and install as nornal.
Or download from the PLAY STORE.
*** Please uninstall version 1 if currently using because of signature conflict with version 2. I have to change signature for app to meet Play Store requirements.
Fouth, run the app and enable superuser/root permissions. (it needs permission to save changes)
Finally, just tick the apps you want and don't forget to press the save button. A soft reboot maybe required for the changes to take effect.
NOTE: If you have previously edited others.xml or features.xml, you may have introduced some errors to the xml file layout which would prevent this app from properly functioning. Editing the said xml files manually is not advisable due to human error of breaking the xml structure by accident. If this app does not work after previously manually editing the said xml files, then I suggest you restore the original unedited xml files.
For those who don't seem to have a /system/csc folder and either others.xml or features.xml files in said folder, then you may want to try a custom rom that includes it but if you want to try, you can create the csc folder and procure a copy of others.xml or features.xml and put it inside the csc folder.
Have FUN!
BIG THANKS to @soloilmeglio for the TIP.

Please check out the Pen Window Launcher addon - as it enables you to open the Pen Window drawer without using the Spen. I've got to be honest with you, as much as I would like it to be free like the Pen Window Manager, I currently can not afford the Note 3 so this addon is just a way for me to raise funds to be able to afford such an expensive device. If you like the Pen Window Manager and my work, please support further development by buying the Pen Window Launcher addon. Think of it as a donation. THanks.
Pen Window Launcher addon - Play Store LINK7Anyway, great work. Hopefully you will release the AirCommand launcher as well and will work on S4 Hpefully NOTE8 will get 4.3. soon.
After more than a month of tinkering, I finally discovered how to launch Air Command without using the spen. Development is still in progress.
Here is a Youtube Video link for an early preview of the app/mod/hack. Coming soon?4
There is new app by xperiacle for lollipop as it's called MultiWindow Commander [ROOT]. Tho it hasn't been released in xda, search in Google play you would find it.I have a Note 3 N9005 running stock Android 4.4.2 and I've been using this app for a while now
From the comments I understand that this app does not work with lollipop so I want to know If you have any future plans to update the app so that it supports the newest operating system

Multiwindow and Pen Window share the same code base so if you might have installed some mods that affect multiwindow, that may give a problem with Pen Window as well. Another is if you are using the Xposed Multiwindow Manager (phone), that module hooks into the methods of multiwindow code (which is also being used by Pen Window) and modifies how it works in some way (I am not sure how). So to test, try disabling the Xposed Multiwindow Manager module, reboot and try opening apps in Pen Window.
It is great that Pen Window works on S4 as well with some file porting/modding I suppose.
It may not be possible to invoke aircommand thru a third-party app because of permission issues but I think it is possible thru Xposed because I can hook into the right file and invoke it when requires. I am not sure though and I can't test until I get a Note 3 to test.
You can get rid of the notification in the app settings. Just choose Open Pen Window directly option in Drawer Icon Action setting and disable outgoing notification option.
