[Q] Pen Apps from Note 10.1 2014 Edition

[mrmrmrmr]

Hi,

I have the Note 10.1 2014 edition in addition to the Note 8.0

The "Pen Apps" feature on the Note 10.1 2014 Ed. is very nice. It allows you to draw a window and open the app in that window (some advanced type of multiwindow)
IS it anyhow possible to integrate this feature on any Note.8 rom ?

Thanks.

Touchwiz is not an open-source project. This features might require newer firmware and/or framework to work and device specifications might be a problem. We need to wait Samsung to release new update.

I don't agree.

I know that touchwiz is not open source. But there are devs who can port multiwindow from some Galaxy devices to other Galaxy devices (which do not have MW by default)

These features appeared for the first time in the Note 3, 4.3 firmware. Some developers ported them to the Note 2, but they could do it because the Note 2 received a firmware update to 4.3.
Our Note 8 has only Android 4.2; I'm afraid we have to wait for a firmware update before some developer can port new features to our device.

well, I doubt that Samsung will update Note 8 to Android 4.3
but if they ever do then these features might come with the update.

In any case would it be possible to port it to Note 8 with Android 4.2 ?

I think Samsung will update the Note 8 to Android 4.4.
I'm not a developer, so I can't say if anyone will be able to port anything from other devices.

Update to 4.4.2? Yes

Already official from Samsung & confirmed on Sammoble. Note 8 will be getting update to 4.4.2.

that is great news.

because, even we get 4.4.x on the note 8, I don't believe Samsung will add this kind of new features on it.

Thx.

Use ykkfive's rom. It's a port of the GN3's version of Android 4.3, with features like Pen Window and Air Command intact. I personally recommend downloading the app "Multiwindow Plus" as well, as it allows you to have 4 apps open side by side. The rom only works with the N5110 as of now, but the developer is porting it to the N5100. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642647

at least there's hope...

but this is for n5110 as you said.
when can we expect a n5100 version ?

IIRC, there's talk of that in the thread. I don't want to get falsely get your hopes up, so check it out for yourself. It's really an awesome ROM. I flashed it a bit after getting an actual Note 3, which inflicted my Note 8's S-Pen with some raging jealousy... this ROM fixed that
