At that time, we did not. I'll give it a chance when I can, but I haven't had much luck.
I wouldn't worry about it. On the other pages it says that basically Maps doesn't work, nor YouTube.

So NetFlix doesn't seem to work well with multi window? Every time I click on the other window to utilize it, NetFlix will pause. Any fix for this?

Also, I cannot get this tool to decompile right. It keeps saying I am missing Java, even though I have JRE installed. Sifting through the other threads maybe you should update this tutorial? It seems like SDK tools are needed to use this tool properly from what I've read, correct me if I'm wrong.

It might have been due to missing 1.apk and missing SystemUI.apk as well. We can give it another shot.

I installed Java (just from the site) and .Net and was up and running. Run as administrator?

I think it's just the player Netflix chose to use. I don't think we have a way to change the pause when it loses focus, unfortunately.

Try opening Netflix as the 2nd app you open in multi-window, first making sure it's not in memory. Worked for me.

Then that is also pointless as any time you type, the screen is covered by the keyboard. I am trying to utilize the multiwindow feature, but pretty much seems sort of pointless... just more of a novelty.

YouTube http://db.tt/vGYIYxZZ

Maps http://db.tt/8YJ2P88L

You will have to remove their corresponding apks in BOTH /system/app and /data/app before it'll let you install either. (And maybe uninstall it in the applications settings menu)

Are you running Netflix and it's now pausing after loosing focus?

No pauses. Cleared apps in memory, used multi-window menu to open up internet, then dragged over netflix. Able to type on the keyboard without pauses too. Only trouble is, if I switch then go home or open another app and come back, the focus/pausing issue starts.

so i have managed to do everything in the guide but when i installed the modded apk i still cannot get it into mw. any suggestions?
go to the other section, android dev. they have a way to make all apps mw compatible without having to do any of this. way better, can even use native apps in mw.

Might want to make sure people are rooted before suggesting this :p
