★★[MOD][xHALO][Resizable] AOSP Halo On All TW Based Roms [10/25]★★

King of AOSP on Touchwiz is Back Once Again..... && HALO is runnin' wild on you brother!

Original Thread Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419287
Go by there and shoot this guy a thanks as well.

Confirmed working on: All Note 2 Devices, Galaxy S4, awaiting more results....
:: For those who did not see my post in my AllianceRom Thread or Bean's Thread for the Verizon Note 2::
It is now possible to run Halo (Well Halo Windows) on Samsung Stock/Custom Roms::​

(You will either have Halo Window or Multi-Window. There are flashables for both that I created for you. What the zips do is rename Multi-window files in your /system to enable xHalo to work or re-add the original multiwindow files back to your /system to get Multi-window functionality back)​

1) Download XHalo Floating Windows from HERE

2) Download Floating Notifications
From The Play Store If You Don't Already Have It.

(Go thru inital setup and enable the services under accessibility; also you will want to go into the settings menu and enable "Launch apps in Halo Window")
This is NOW OPTIONAL, as you have the choice to hold down
the notification you want in your notification drawer,
and the "Open In HALO" option will be given to you.



3) Install/Update Xposed Installer and activate XHalo Under Modules.

4)Download my HALO WINDOW zip HERE

If you ever want your Multi-Window function back, you will download my Multi-Window Zip HERE

5. Reboot into Recovery && FLASH your desired zip.

Once you boot back up, you should not be able to open the multiwindow tray at all if you flashed the Halo zip. It should just function as a back button at this point.​





::More Screenshots::


And that is it!!

Have fun, use protection, && don't flash and drive.​

Please check out the original thread in the OP. A lot of the stuff is covered in there already. Your issue is very similar to a user on the last page. See what they did to resolve the issue.

Yeah working flawless but I notice this too. The message app opens in the background unlike other apps acting like legit halo. Loving this though buddy. Thanks. Even bought floating notifications because this works so damn well.

So the fix is simple man. Just go in the floating notification app and check the apps u would want to open in floating notifications that way when you get a text or notification you open it through the floating notification app.

I'm having the same issue. I gave ES file Explorer root permission as well, keeps saying task failed after trying to rename it.

I used Root Explorer to rename the files. The search took a minute but it found all the files and I was able to rename. Couple small bugs but it works great!!

Somehow even though it said task failed and didn't rename it is working now.

I suggest downloading the new version 1.24 . https://db.tt/XPJ6mUpr

Also if you are having troubles like I aforementioned, go into the Alliance Thread and use the Halo/MultiWindow zips.
Thanks for the heads up on the update.

Found an alliance ROM for the S4. Is that the one, haven't found the zip link yet.

Do I flash it over the one I downloaded or should I uninstall xhalo first?
