OPTION 1 : For DEODEX Roms Only

If you have a note 2, maybe you are familiar with the MultiWindow Control App (MWC) by legendk95. The MultiWindow Control app, as the name implies, controls which apps are added on the Multiwindow bar (flashbar). You can find out more about it HERE. It was only available for note 2 users until now. I got curious the other night and thought I would like to find out how legendk95's mod works so I sort of reverse engineered his note 2 files and luckily I was successful. I asked his permission and he allowed me to share it with you. Credit and donations goes to him. So here it goes.

How to install?
Be sure you are on a rooted deodex rom - XXLSZ, XXLSC, UBLS4 or ZSLM5. Make a nandroid backup.
Download the flashable file for your rom version below and just flash thru CWM recovery.
Download and install MWC app below or for the latest version go HERE.
Launch the MWC app and select your apps. When you are finished selecting apps, press the back button and it will ask to kill Multiwindow bar. Press kill it then check the Multiwindow bar for the apps you selected. Videos of the app in action are available HERE.


Note: This mod is only for stock multiwindow, ie flashbar tray (not floating multiwindows).

OPTION 2 : For rooted ODEX & DEODEX Roms

As suggested by mscion, you can use the XposedMultiWindow.apk (credit and thanks to scalee for the module) you can find HERE if you are already using the Xposed Framework by rovo89. This module will give you unlimited apps on the multwindow bar without having to flash anything which means it should work for both ROOTED DEODEX and ODEX ROMS. To install, you must have Xposed Framework installer installed first (some info HERE) and just install the XposedMultiwindow.apk module and enable it in Xposed Installer then reboot.

MultiWindow Control App vs. XposedMultiwindow.apk

HI. I have a Tmobile Galaxy Note 2. To allow all apps for mulitview I used the XposedMultiwindow.apk. This immediately puts all apps on the screen you get when pressing edit in multiview to transfer to the multiview bar. The MultiWindow Control App seems to require you to select apps to put on the edit screen which you then again select to put on the multiview bar. Is this correct? If so, why would this be preferable over XposedMultiwindow. Perhaps as an overall framework to do things the MultiWindow Control App is a better approach? Anyways, just asking!

Great mod. I am using option 2 with the official German 4.1 Jelly Bean. So far no problems. Thanks to everybody who has contributed to this mod.
