I'm looking to possibly get a Galaxy Note 8.0 down the road for a custom dash install for my car. I was wondering if there was a possibility to get the Xposed Multiwindow Mod from the Galaxy Note II to work on this device.

It works fine. Please do not comment if you are unsure of things, because you can start a huge row for developers.
I am running it right now on my tablet, and it runs great.
It works perfectly for me!

Really? Can you run Spotify and navigation side by side?
I was able to get it working also.
Folks should be aware that it is very difficult to use the CWR tools to get rid of it again at this time, though you can do it manually via ADB.
Also that Odin recovery does not wipe out installed apps, which I did not know and am happy about. (I tried changing dpi using a different one of the Xposed modules; it did not work and my phone bootlooped. I had the uninstall around, but was not able to install it via CWR.)
The multiwindow one works nicely. There's also an app in the play store that works for enabling multiwindow view for many more apps.
I don't use Spotify so I don't know about that one in particular.
Out of curiosity what is the diff with this and multi window mgr. Be gentle i am using mwm but int in the diff.

I don't know, MWM just didn't Work for me.

It's very similar to multiwindow manager, honestly. MWM is a little funky in that the app itself doesn't know that the Note 8 exists yet. I think I told it I was using a note II and it let me add whatever I wanted to multiwindow mode.
The one thing I have not tested yet with the new way of adding multiwindow functionality to the device is the camera. With MWM running, if multiwindow mode is enabled the camera locks up the device.

I haven't tried the camera yet while using it but I don't take many pix with a tablet. For MWM to work you have to disable the patch it mentions when you launch it first. Other than that it works with all my apps. I also love multi touch gestures app.Update just used the camera with no issues. First time I tried it. Pretty good image for a tablet.
I'm using the Xposed method and while the camera doesn't fc there is apparently no shutter button. In fact I'm typing this from one window with the camera in the other.

And I have to admit that this is far from my go-to camera - but occasionally I'll launch the app accidentally or on purpose, and it'd be nice to not have it hink out on me.
The fix for me has been to disable multiwindow mode in the system preference, and that may well work for the Xposed mwindow modification as well.
Xposed is a framework with developer interest from the companion Samsung devices and it may allow for other things to arrive fairly quickly on the device, before a full rom is ready.
This is awesome; I'm definitely going to be getting one of these for my dash install later this year
My phone (running stock, rooted 4.1.2 at the moment) is getting a little unstable, so I am going to wipe and start from scratch. I'd really like to go back to CyanogenMod-based ROMs, but AFAIK the pen support in these is awful -- S Note is no longer there, and there is nothing in the Play Store remotely as good, and all of the useful annotating tricks are missing.
If this is no longer the case, can someone let me know? I am not in the "scene" and there are so many ROMs posted in so many places that I have no idea where to start. Otherwise I think I will probably grab the rooted 4.3 ROM that dropped a couple days ago and try that on for size.
Thanks gang.
I'm running the gt-7105 cm10.2 .0 and I have been using the papyrus app in the play store. I'm pretty happy with it

No ROMs based of anything other then tw have the functionally that your looking for in terms of the spen. With that said, you can get some decent apps that make it less painful.
When I run cyan or any other AOSP/AOKP ROMs I install spen launcher along with notebuddy and cm spen add on. That combination will allow a pop up menu when you remove the spen that allows you to have access to your spen apps. As stated papyrus is a good one, gnote found here on xda is another, write and sketchbook, you can backup or extract sketchbook from stock ROMs and it installs fine.
Just curious if anyone is running Cyanogenmod (n5100) on their Note 8. couple quick questions....
1. Is it stable?
2. Anything not work? Any bugs?
3. People talk about the sPen stuff or whatever on the Note 8. Is it worth keeping the stock ROM for some of that Samsung stuff?

Only for the sPen and the double window thing. I dont care about the bloatware that comes included. In fact I just bought it for the sPen feature.

I donno what peeps here are calling bloat ware... Samsung apps are some the the finest available on Android. Google apps are just about needed for secondary apps and extras.
Out of the many apps I removed or disabled, I personally could not find much improvement with storage or RAM consumption.
The only issue that I found from an app is Googles Music Player, and 4.2.2 and earlier OS not able to fully categorize RAM used with over 45GB of MP3 files. I think it has to do with how many folders and mp3 files are stored. Any way Music Player will consume battery power not what peeps call bloat ware.
Too many developers and so called know it alls will point out bloat ware as an issue, when the issue is how things are configured and used.
I have tried custom ROMs and found nothing better than a properly setup Stock ROM. Sad to say for the Note 8.0.
If need be safe root and install TI backup pro and Xposed framework with plugins, to have the power of most custom ROMs and to remove all you want. If you need to send in for repair, just do a factory reset and be done with it. Simple and effective without need to jump though hoops in flashing and dealing with Triangle away and looking for proper OEM firmware. Plus you can always update through Kies or Settings as if nothing was touched. )
Sorry for the long rant, just tired of peeps pointing at bloatware being an issue with devices. The issue is proper implementation and usage. Take it from me, having an engineering degree in applied science in technology. I find it easier to pick at the problems people create than to deal with the limitations of pushing out new tech without proper testing. That is why I never applied for Google, MS, or many other big named companies. Samsung tablets seem to have less issues with what they load than many other competitors. Google may complain about customizations, but as long as they work that is all I care about. So many who do complain about bloatware are probably Google biased.

I put CM 11 on my note 8.0 n5110 (not the n5100) as I love CM11 on my note 2. However, although the CM 11 on my note 2 seems like a polished final product with no issues whatsoever (although it's only a nightly), definitely CM11 on my note 8.0 seemed like it was still a work in progress.
1. Yes, it is stable for everyday things.
2. Often (about once every other day) an app would disappear from the homepage. I would then have to put them back. I could not remove unwanted preinstalled apps from my homepage (like the camera app for example). Usually you would grab the app and bring it to the top of the screen and it would be removed. For some reason there was no way to remove them. Usually there is a simple way to "close all" the opened apps by going to the pull-down menu. This was missing my nightly.
3. The pen works perfectly on CM11. Of course, there is no "air gestures" like on stock. For me, I just use the spen as a pen: for drawing, sketching, and taking notes (like using my favorite app LectureNotes). For such things, the pen works fine. In my opinion, it's well worth getting CM11 --- besides for the things mentioned in 2 (and other small things) the note 8.0 runs amazingly smooth, like the dream tablet I always wanted.
BTW, later I moved to Omnirom on my note 8.0 and I'm still using it and I am liking Omnirom even better than CM11 (which in my personal opinion is much better than the stock rom).
Are we going to be be getting any non touchwiz roms soon? I sure miss cm 11 and omni roms.

Soon .probably. Hopefully. But you should ask these kinda question in the q and a thread or the general section before u get flamed. ☺
Sorry. I only asked here because this is where they get posted.

Questions go under questions. Theres yet to be a specific ROM thread up where that would apply.
they have cm booting on the tmobile one, the majority of that code would work fine for the sprint one. chances are they will be unified builds. if this was teh s5 or anything id work towards fleshing out the device tree and bringing it up, but i am truly happy with my note 4 stock with xposed. i dont use all the fancy samsung features but i do use enough of them to not even really want to bother flashing aosp and losing out on it. granted this is my first note device but i cant see or imagine why anyone would want to use something other than stock, battery is amazing, features are top notch and its very fast and fluid.
I came from a nexus 5 but i sold that and for a week i used a kyocera echo until my note 4 preorder was ready to pick up, it truly is amazing in how much progress has been made in such a short time.
I agree with Shabbypenguin.
I'd rather have a stock ROM with all the cool Samsung functionality of floating windows, one handed moded, functional heart rate sensor, S-Pen apps, and camera app all work great.
Instead we need a rom with stock as base, and AOSP apps like I describe in my thread:
My "Dream ROM" for the Note 4 would be:
*Rooted
*Knox removed
*CyanogenMod style theming
*Samsung and Sprint bloatware removed (accept for Facebook sync)
*TouchWiz apps (calendar, messaging, phone, clock, calculator, lockscreen, notification quick settings) replaced with CyanogenMod versions

i swore i replied to you in there but i guess i didnt :/. the cm theme manager isnt possible on stock, its embedded in so many core files to be able to alter everything on the fly its not possible without recompiling with the code added in, and we cant recompile touchwiz.

My main gripe is the typing lag,
in some apps. I notice the typing lag mainly on TouchWiz roms and in Google hangouts and a few other apps. I've tried different keyboards and they all lag on TouchWiz. If I use Aosp, no lag at all anywhere.
Yes the features of the Note 4 are great but I don't use and can live without most of them. I really wanted this device for its spen. I'd take the overall smoothness of cm11 and it's lean build over the features in touch wiz. Hopefully we get a cm build going.
Cm12? Mmmmm
I was just reading about CM12.
I'm strongly thinking of moving over.
I can mimic floating windows with xhalo xposed. It has resizable windows that work similar to TouchWiz floating windows.
I'm not sure how I'd mimic one handed mode
Or the stock camera app which has dual facing camera modes.
Any ideas?
Read on land of droid the cm12 roadmap

Hopefully someone picks up the Sprint Note 4 as the cm12 maintainer.
Looking forward to cm on the note 4. It's pretty much the only thing keeping me from buying one.

Yea probably not man. Anyone with enough skill can build the device tree. Its just nice when we get official maintainers. Give it time, it will happen. Samsung devices ALWYS get cm.
Slayher has cm12 apparently booting on the note 4

Have we reached a point where all of the stuff you mentioned is no longer going to be able to be incorporated into AOSP? I came to the note 4 from the note 2, and I agree touchwiz is pretty nicely refined, but I would like to see AOSP. From some post's I've read hear and there, it appears that touchwiz just gets more complex. What about the Nexus 6 OS?

Hello I just ordered one of these off eBay for $80 in excellent condition but I feel like I should've asked if sketchbook runs smooth enough on here? I know it's old hardware, but still better than Snapdragon 410 in Galaxy A tab. I wanted a small tablet with s pen (Wacom). I don't need it for anything else I have an iPhone 6s and i7 desktop and Skylake i3 laptop
what version JB 4.1.2 or 4.2.2? Hopefully you didn't get 4.4.2.
As of this month I finally got the best ever overall operation in 4.4.2. But it is not anywhere as perfect as 4.1.2 or 4.2.2
If by chance you have KK, you can either root and use a custom kernel or do the S Note fix to correct the spen pixel issue
It is easy to do, but any complain about it being trial and error. Once you get the knack, you'll wonder why you had such a problem in the first place.
I have the app in question along with Layer Paint HD, and Paper Artist. once you align your spen in KK, you won't have any issues with drawing apps.
There are custom ROMs that correct the spen issue but some still need work as they are not 100% fully functional as stock is.
Since I require perfect miracast functions, with minimal bugs with a nice layout. I was forced into manually selecting components from S5, Tab 4 and Note 2 stock ROMs, along with some ported system apps distributed by Devs. Some very few apps are from dead ROMs, where the Dev let rot away.
Yes you can run S5 apps in stock form, just need to root and run Xposed with app settings. Some apps require 320 or so DPI, and others may require 190 or 220. It is a trial and error, but they are stock, and with a build.prop mod, you can update them on Play or Galaxy.
I run the latest versions of Tab 4 version and S5 version of Peel Smart Remotes. As S5 has a better layout.
Some apps like Kids mode need a small tweak with a saved older sub app to run, though the lock screen widget interactions and gator animations are missing.
I run my N5110 as a T330 (Tab 4 8.0) in my build prop, 90% of the time, with out any issues with my apps. The remainder of my usage is in S5 form, as my Chrome Dev browser with Samsung's chrome customization system app, operates a wee better browsing on the Internet. Seems that the updated versions are not so device dependant in the build.prop requirements.
Hello thanks! Sounds good I don't have the device yet. I'm sure I'll be back with more questions. Hopefully it's not 4.4.2 like you said.
Okay sadly it has 4.4.2 Can yuu point me in the direction of the spen fix?
By the way I have SAMSUNG-SGH-I467 sounds like it's hard to root this device?
autocorrect sucks on your thread title...
Smith or smooth? XD
