multiscreen

hello guys, I express my needs, hoping to be solved with an app.
I need to connect a second monitor to my note2, with free mini hdmi no problem.
Now the basic function is the "DUB SCREEN" in practice I see note2 display on the external monitor.
here to serve me the "EXTEND SCREEN" (like windows) in order to have two app running on a display of the smartphone and the other on the external monitor.
You can do something? hello, thanks

multiwindow bar

I have many apps in the bar that I can use but none of the Google Apps show up for me there nor can I use any of them in multi-window with other apps. This includes you tube and chrome and gmail. My three favorite apps. Any help appreciated. I have the note 2 4.1.1 version verizon sch-i605

Agreed. The list is quite limited for me. I was very excited about this feature. But as it stands, it's not much use a

    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.

    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 :)

    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.
