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.

What about S-planner and Calculator app? I would think these would be two of the most useful to use multi-screen, or at least floating over the screen like the galaxy tabs.

a '*' denotes that the app works in split screen but cannot be selected from the list, it must be activated first then another added as the second screen, therefore two apps with the '*' will not be able to be paired together.

Mine had Twitter in it from the time the multi view was installed.

Anyone know if there is a multi-screen api that devs can use to make compatible apps? It would be epic to get tapatalk and Skype added to the list.

Would love to use Skype with Multi-window. A video call while being able to use the phone.Actually, imagine Skype with video pop up. That would be fairly handy.

Looking forward to the future of the Note 2.

If anyone gets a chance can you see if Netlix will work, possible by opening it then adding something like Facebook to the screen. Thanks in advance, I'm so excited about getting this phone.

    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.

    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.
