Fully functioning multi-window. Floating, and re-sizable!


Your ROM must already support multi-window.

Instructions.

1. Install xposed from here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24267797
2. Install this module and activate in xposed- http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/microdownloads/xposed-app-settings.5/viewfile
3. In xposed app setting app find "android system", set the resolution (screen dp) to 800x1280 hit save, then reboot your phone.
4. Now when you open an app you will see a pin (thumb tack) in top left corner and minimze, expand, and exit on the top right.
5. To float an app. Open it, hit the minimize button, then the pin button while it's minimized.
6. Enjoy.

Also if you use this (get the 240 dpi version)- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35473559 with xposed it will stop your app order from resetting in the sidebar when you reboot.

Followed your steps just as you posted. For some reason though, my lockscreen and the icons are effin huge! Everything else seems as it should.
My lock screen is the same way, nothing else is changed except the call log, and dialer on my phone. I have my dpi set to 213, and I'm using nova launcher. Minor imperfections, I just like having the exit button instead of long pressing back to kill an open app.

Just because this thread is about floating windows doesn't make it the same as yours.
My method is not only different than yours, it's easier, and it gives better results.

If you thought there was an issue with my post it should have been a pm.

agreed, plus his thread is about flooating multiwindow. Not sure what he means by flooating, unless his apps "float around more" than your instructions ;p
