        <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 :)

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.

Multiwindow is brilliant, Youtube and Chrome at the same time I second call for Skype would be great. Best of luck to devs if they can hack an all apps solution together that would be epic!

I have not said I am doing any development, I said I will take a look, but that depends on what time I have.

I am surprised no one else has jumped on the chance to be first to offer this feature yet.

The perfect solution here would be to have that file edited on boot somehow, to include all installed apps

Actually, no, the solution is to find whatever piece of code looks at that array.
It's surely just doing a string match to check to see if an app is included in the list.

That check just needs to be made to 'TRUE' and you are good to go.
It sure would be nice if facebook messenger would work.

One problem though - the way the list works, it puts ALL apps in there.
There isn't really an 'add app' option. You can hide them in the 'edit window'.
If you have a couple hundred apps like me, I wonder if a * would break.
I suppose a legit add/remove option is more ideal, although that's certainly more work.

Did you try Google Chat // Video Chat? As Google Talk works as well, this should be worth a try!

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

    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.

    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.
