[Tutorial] Add additional apps to Multi Window without needing root [Verizon]

[j101399j]

Any chance you can mod the latest Whatsapp again?

If you download and install the latest version form their website http://www.whatsapp.com/android/ (not the one in the play store), they have the code added and it works without the need to mod it. Looks like enough people quoted and used my post that they now make it work on the Note 2 without needing to mod it

Anyone looking for GO SMS Pro? Well here is a modded version of v5.02

(It is the app on the bottom in this screenshot)

Netflix app

With the update on the Netflix app that added the Chromecasting, is it still possible to mod this version to MV? Would like to get your thoughts before I go down that path. Thanks.

Can't Decompile/Recompile Keep

Hey everyone,

I love that this option exists, I really want to setup additional apps for multiwindow!

I tried to use the APK Multi Tool, but for some reason I can't get Keep decompiled/recompiled in a way that it will be functional after reinstalling (doesn't sync anymore).

Here's what I do:
* Installed JRE.
* Copied Keep apk from data\app to "place-apk-here-for-modding" on my computer. (NOTE: Phone is not plugged into computer.)
* Downloaded framework package.
* Went through APK Multi Tool steps through Setup.bat (installing framework, setting up folders).
* Started up Script.bat, pressed 9 (Decompile apk).
* Went into the projects folder and modified the .xml file as stated in this thread.
* Pressed 12 (Compile Non-System APK Files).
* Got an error half-way through. Get the same error when I install the optional framework 1.apk file mentioned at the beginning of this thread.

NOTE: Originally I didn't install the framework and was able to get through this part. I was able to create an unsigned apk, signed apk, etc., but none of them worked. When I would install Keep from that apk, it would never sync, thus never showing my notes. If I uninstalled and then installed from the Play Store, it would sync fine. Something's going on in the apk that's not allowing syncing.

Any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks.

I might be wrong, but I think that just maybe the title answers your question.

HAHAHAHA!

 

[Mattbarker1]

Hello there. I am getting problems when trying to decompile the .apk.

Picture attached is what's going on when I hit "9" to decompile the .apk.

The link in the OP to the apk multi tool appears to point to a site full of of malware and crapware? Is there a simpler/more reliable link?

In fact, I am now dealing with the infections I got off that site, and never succeeded in obtaining the apktool there - may I suggest that link be removed (and site/author blacklisted if possible)?

qPDF

Hi guys.

Spent lots of hours trying the qPDF to work in multiview mode. Seems that I'm doing everything right, the app icon appears in the multiview pallete but after the lunch it crashes at once.
My steps:
Decompiled qPDF
Changed AndroidManifest.xml
Compiled as non-system apk with unsigned option
Signed it
Re-installed it

I believe the problem is that I’m using Note 3 8.0. Is there an AndroidManifest settings for for Note 8.0?
File is attached.

It worked! All this due to really inacurate instructions.
When compiling apk, it is necessery to use option 1 (keep folder), then sign it.
I've made instructions in Russian with pictures but cant post a link here. (add http: slash, slash) 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=393943&view=findpost&p=29690084

I wish I had known about this before I rooted...

 

[dzunepwnsipod]

I have tried everything that seemed remotly applicable to my conundrum, but I still cant get Skypes APK to compile.

◇ I have followed the instructions on how to install APK-MULTI-TOOL
◇ I have installed Android SDK and eclipse.
◇I have installed the 4 framework apks that the setup script asks for.
◇I have updated all the files to their most recent versions

APK-multi-tool starts up normally from my desktop, and it decompiles the apk just fine, but it always fails when building. The fact that this happens in MintLinux and Windows 7 makes me think that Im missing something.

Any ideas?

Are you trying to compile it with keep folder option unsigned? It is option 1 when compiling a non-system apk. After you do option 1 you have to delete in a new keep folder AndroidManifest.xls and resources.arsc then press enter. You'll get unsigned apk. Then just sign it.
I've made detailed instructions in Russian language with pictures (see few posts above). Try it, maybe you will understand by pictures without wording.

Im basically trying to make skype 4.4 work with the multiwindow-apk hack/mod. Its deffinatly an app APK and not a system APK. The trouble is, if I delete the manifest file, wont the changes I made be null-and-void?

 

[vavalexus]

Hell, Skype won't recompile! Even with no changes if it gets decompiled it won't recompile. There will be mistakes. Tried on 2 pc's, even on Apktool 2 with cmd. The same mistakes.

Guys, I'm rooted, have multi view and can add any app I want very easily using Wanam exposed.

Am I missing something?

Or multi window manager on the play store.
