Hello all. I'm sure most of you have heard of Halo))) by now. It's Paranoid Android's answer to Samsung's multi window feature. After using Halo for 3 days now on Carbon ROM, I would say this feature is just as useful as multi window.
It basically sets up the same way. You set up your favorite apps and then let's say you're browsing the web and you quickly want to check sports scores, just tap on the Halo icon on left hand side of your screen and then scroll to your sports app. Then your sports app will overlap your browser until you tap on your browser to make the sports app go away.
Halo is also great for incoming notifications. When you get a text message, again just click on the icon and the message will overlap whatever app you're in.
This is available in the following ROMs found in the Original Development Forum:
Paranoid Android
Carbon
Pacman
I thought this could be a useful Halo discussion thread for this brand new feature.

Halo looks like a pretty sweet Mod. I wonder if there are any intentions of this Mod working on a TW Rom
I don't wanna quote you and make the post unnecessarily long... but I was thinking the same thing. This would be AWESOME if we could get Halo on a TW ROM. Especially now that they have opened up their sources for it, I'm sure it's just a matter of time till it comes!!
Yes please. That looks awesome
Not sure if this will make it to a TW ROM. I guess it's possible since we got PIE using LMT.

Thanks what do you guys to find the best for a all in one msg client talk aim skype ect.... want to use on my tablet and phone ?
Set From My Rooted SG3
I use Tablet Talk so I can send/receive SMS's from my N7. Other than that, I just use Skype and Google Talk primarily on my tablet.
I use the normal included Jelly Bean Clock, you can add all the cities you want from the list that has been provided, and that one covers almost all the bases.
So far I have found all the cities I know people in, which is kind of important if I want to have a chat with them, to see if they are potentially still awake, or asleep already

Just open then clock app on your N7, it doesn't matter if you're using the stock ROM or something like CM or PA, they are all the same, then click on the little icon in the middle on the bottom, just above the home-button.
There you can add more cities (make sure you are on the clock tab, not on the timer or alarm tab)
On second thought, i'll post you a screenshot.

Just tap the icon in the red circle, then you can add more cities.
OK..since my first note I always loves the stock browser for the auto fit webpage option! I never like chrome because it does the weird thing with text. Some will be tiny other large. Well note 3 browser doesn't have the auto fit webpage option but has the weird text option!!!!! I hope I'm overlooking it somewhere. If not is there a browser that supports this option? Pics included for better understanding. These are from note 2.

To be honest I don't even bother with the stock browser. Chrome has all my bookmarks and settings and syncs so well. Try it for a bit. I have a feeling that the stock browser is slowly just becoming a skinned chrome browser though. I need to look into that a bit more though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A
I don't use the stock browser, but I took a look at the settings and found these.
I'm guessing text booster is what's making your text all wonky.
And force zoom probably has something to do with autofit.
Also, double tap on any page in every smartphone browser I've ever used auto fits the page. I'd five that a try.

I saw those settings. Force zoom just let's you zoom if a website doesn't let you. And the text booster IS the reason for wonky text! Even double tapping the screen doesn't auto fit the pages! If you notice the pic I have zoomed way in (and that zoom is a double tap zoom) and it auto fit. New phone no dice. I tried chrome but it automatically does the wonky text thing which makes 0 sense to me. Ah well it must be forever gone!

Wow that's a really nice looking widget. You should maybe look into using the zooper widget - it also gives you full control but you can pass it on to others easily using an apk file.
Keep on making widgets like this!! Really cool!
Anyone got an actual screenshot?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I did it in nexus5.
Answer is, it has a term cause of softkey.
I think if you wanna use this, need some fix about 'phone sms music galley browser' to upper.
or hide dock and soft key. than it looks better.

Yeah not bad.... Zooper is definitely much harder than other custom widgets but you have so much more control it's absurd. Anyways good luck with the widget stuff! It definitely makes it more fun to unlock your phone

is there a way to move the multi window bar from the right of the screen to the left? I use the right for LMT and I've always had it on the left on my Note 3.
Sane here I haven't figured it out
I've searched everywhere and it appears there is no option for moving the bar. Thanks Samsung!
Most likely because of the multiwindow changes, this is going to be something only available after rooting and installing a mod or custom Rom.
Yeah it seems like after the note 3 its the only software that can move the multi window bar location because my Samsung tablet 7inch got ported ROMs and the bars where always stuck on right hand side it didn't have the tab on the bar to move it like in the note 3 I asked before and devs say they don't wanna mess with it as its not a priority on there ROMs

Can't you grab the rounded piece while multiwindow is in its closed sidebar state and move it around at that point? Haven't picked up the N4 yet but tried this and it works fine on my friend's S5

n4 sidebar no longer has that rounded piece. only way to invoke sidebar is hold down the back button.

Been looking everywhere. I like it on left side too as it used to be (or the option of) have you found a way?

Well since the Note 4 has been rooted and has a recovery I still haven't found anything to move the side bar. Not even in Xposed or Wanam.
Keeping thread alive... plus adding screenshots...
@foreverloco (since you have worked with both Note 4/Note Edge on the themes) or anyone that could know...
On the Note 3 we were able to move the Multi Window to the left/right/bottom/top by grabbing the tab...

Now, on the Note Edge the multi window is ALWAYS on the LEFT side for obvious reasons...: (no tab to grab)
And on the Note 4 is ALWAYS on the RIGHT side: (no tab to grab)
Since we have the Edge with the MW on the left side... Can anyone compare files between roms? A mod should be really easy...
Here you go guys. This in my opinion is the best program to lock apps with the fingerprint. I've been using it for about a week now and it's been solid. The UI is very clean as well as the operations. And it's made for Samsung devices. Works great on the Note 4.

on/off widget does not work on note 4 so far...
I didn't even know this program had a widget lol. Doesn't matter as you don't need to use the widget for anything. This is as simple and convenient as you get.
Can this app hide the icons of the protected apps? I need something to hide the icons all together and only have them appear once I enter my fingerprint.
That would certainly be a neat feature. I think the closest we can get is to remove the icon from the drawer through twiz or nova.

What a great app! Thanks for the suggestion
Verizon N4 : Thank me if I helped ya
I tried that app, then quickly uninstalled after finding out that locked apps will still show a full thumbnail in the recent apps list... that kind of defeats the purpose of privacy.

Other from that, why does this take up like 130mb of ram? lol by far the highest in my running apps list!
Mines showing this. With Google inbox taking up like 150mb. That damn nhl app lol.
And if you greenify the app , it will be crippled.

I am going to give it a go but as this app should hide protected apps from launcher and recent apps too.

Yes. That is for sure a deal breaker. Now we have to disable the switching apps button. Which as far as I know is not doable.
