I was trying to add the maps app to my mult-itasking bar and couldn't seem to find a way to do it. On watching a couple of YouTube videos I see there appears to be an edit button at the bottom of the bar on those notes which doesn't appear on mine.
Am I being really dense on not being able to see how to access this button?

the edit button only appears when you have too many apps for that bar.
Samsung have made a list of what apps can be used in this mode, maps is not one of them.
A hack is being worked on to allow all apps to be used in this mode, please see the sticky thread.
It was because I saw maps on the list of apps in that thread that I was trying to add it. Never mind, just a minor thing. I'm just curious that, if the edit button only appears when there are too many apps on the multi-tasking bar, how do you actually add or remove apps when it isn't there? Or do apps that can be use this facility (on unrooted phones) automatically add themselves there?
Thanks for your help.
I have maps in my multitasking bar!

ah actually good point, maps is one of the apps.
Are you sure you have maps installed?
Yep, have maps installed.
Maps should then default to being one of the items in the side-bar
Yes the maps is there,and also it looks like there are omly 12 applications supported as of yet,you can remove or move them back when you hit the Edit button and drag any of them to the right lane or back to the left.
Must be a glitch on my phone then. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the maps app to see if it would make a difference but no luck. Any ideas gratefully received.

have you tried turning it off and on again? (no joke)
If the reboot doesn't fix it can you post us a picture of your sidebar?
to take a screenshot take the spen out, press the spen button and tap and hold the middle of the screen.
Yes, tried that. It's about all I know how to do!
Hopefully here are 2 screenshots showing the entire multi-tasking bar.

for starters try the app "live score addicts" for football results, its the best I have come across in 3 years with android.
back on-topic...
maps definitely is not there, weird.
I take it you have not modified the firmware at all? on a completely stock rom?
Maps is installed as a /system/ app you see, and it is that specific package name that is allowed for multi-tasking, if for some reason you don't have it installed as a /system/ app there is a slim chance its under a slightly different package name and multi-view just won't see it.
Edit:
can you post me a screenshot of the page displayed when you go *#1234# in the dialer.
Here you go.
Maps is here, and *#1234# results
Interesting Lofty, your actually on quite old firmware (well older than most of us with split-screen ability).
Where did you get the phone?
Vodafone upgrade. Maybe it has something to do with all the crap they stick on the phone.

It would be very easy, if you wanted, to unbrand that device and put the latest UK unbranded firmware on it but at the risk of voiding your warranty (although tbh it shouldn't).
If you are interested in this just PM me and I will give you the simple instructions.
Have we found a way yet?

I swear I used to get an interactive weather card when I tapped it that have me an hourly slider and now when I tap the card I get the same card followed underneath with a bunch of websites related to weather. This is happening on all 4 android phones. Did I dream it used to give me a card with a slider?

I get the same but weirdly I have a gap between the card and search results which, iirc, was where the slider used to be?
i see google updated 'google search' and google now on feb 14 with 'new' weather cards and other updates. looks like they took this feature away. dammit i have 'eye in the sky' weather but it galls me to always have to go to 3rd party apps for something as simple and elegant as the hourly slider to see the weather. i ride bikes alot during the day and used that to help gauge when it is raining and not to get a riding window in.

I miss this feature a lot!!! They really took away from Google Now by doing this IMO.
Google Now used to open the browser. you can do this yourself, but it sucks that Google Now is not integrated in the same way.
if you open chrome and in the address bar type 'weather' it will take you to the same screen that Google Now used to.
Same issue, sucks that slider was dope.
You can just go to Google in Chrome but I liked it better the way it was before.

The problem is tapping the weather card used to send "weather" as a url to the browser, but now it sends it to search. You can get the old card by typing weather in the browser until they fix it.

This started happening with my Nexus 7 months ago and I didn't know why it suddenly stopped. I was happy that it was still being displayed on my Nexus 4, but that just stopped as well in the last couple of weeks.
I noticed that you can still get the slider without having to manually type "weather" into the omnibox. Just:
i) scroll down then up and you should see a scrollable menu pop up at the bottom of the content window.
ii) Swipe from right to left on that menu and you should see a "phone" icon.
iii) Click on that, you'll get the option of searching weather again and some links will be displayed. Just click the Google Search link and it will show the results with the old slider.
This is a lot more cumbersome and annoying, so I hope they fix this soon.

Hey, I debloated @_alexndr ROM by myself and now after a few days I realize one thing:
I can't use this handy little feature to press on the S-Pen and cut out what's interesting for me, so I can
share it.
Basically what is working:
The cutting out animation is working BUT the window with all the options to customize and share is missing.
I think there's a system App I deleted which is supposed to deal with this.

okay, so just follow:
- take out your S-Pen
- press the button on the S-Pen and hold it
- draw a circle on your homescreen
Now the part, that woun't come up on my device:
- a window opens up
- you can adjust the little cut out you just made
- share it with the apps below on the screen

That's exactly what I was talking about !
Is there any way to make a txt file by the device itself, so you don't have to type out all the apk's ?
Or can you just make a few screenshots of your system/app & system/pirv-app folder ?
As an alternative you could make a screenrecord and put it on youtube (or whatever).

Completely forgot i can just list them in terminal. I probably havent uploaded them in the right order. But here you go, also i have renamed some of them. But its fairly easy to guess what they where before. Got some extra apps in there too. Like the video editor, sketchbook, city maps. Just for an example.
Hope this helps!

Well, here I am again.
Unfortunaly I can't figure out what app or apps are missing on my device.
With the pictures given me by @celderic I compared my apps with his.
There were a few apps which I was missing which I put back to system/app or system/priv-app.
Sadly no changes !
So I checked all apps which I would combine with this feature and opened up the apk's to search for evidence.
As far as I can tell, PhotoRetouching_FHD_H.apk is responsible for what I'm looking for.
Funny thing is, I had this all the time on my phone so why does it not work ?
I can't tell and I can't think of anything I can do more, so basically this is a dead end unless someone wants to help out.
For some bizarre reason they have decided to omit Notification Settings in the Settings Menu. If you have an Android Wear watch and you want to change Notification Priorities for certain apps, this is a must, as well as many of the other Notification Settings.
Anyway the short term fix is to install an app called QuickShortcutMaker from the Play Store, then open it, search for com.android.settings.Settings$NotificationSettingsActivity and create a Shortcut for it.
There are others shortcuts that may be useful, another post has mentioned it to get rid of the 2nd sim icon. If I find any others, I'll let you know, and if anyone else finds other useful ones, please post.

Is that any solution to change Notification fonts and colour as I it's unusable to read Gmail Notification ?
Nope, only way to improve that is to play around with the Themes - try changing them using the app that is included called Themes.
Sent from my PLK-L01 using Tapatalk
I use honor 7 and the problem appeared notifications do not work, but I know half the solution, when you click on the box in the bottom of the screen Close all programs from the bottom up, do not close every program alone
many other things you can get with "QuickShortcutMaker" at your Honor 7 you will find here:

This is very confusing for typical android users, as this phone tries to save battery by closing all apps, which is a good thing for battery, but not for notifications, so it is very important for the apps that you want to receive notifications, you must protect them - go to Settings, Protected Apps, and turn on the ones you want to protect and stay alive.

I'm looking for an application that allows force-closing running applications, as its running down the memory and making the performance slow down. I'm not a huge fan of slowdowns, if anyone know of such a app, please type in it the comments below.
Thanks!
..
Thanks you for providing me this download link. I will try this out when I get home tonight, looking forward to seeing it work. Why don't you submit it to the Google Play Store?
..
id be willing to try this when i get home as well. what app did you modify exactly? id like to look into it on the play store before i get home and install yours on my shield.
..
Hey man so i got to play with this a little bit last night. Thanks so much! It will definitely help when im testing out new apps and troubleshooting issues. But to be honest, using the app last night made me realize something......
The shield is pretty damn good at managing ram on its own. With no easy way to force close apps prior to the app you provided, I just let shield take care of it, assuming all my running apps that i didnt force close on my own, were using up all my free ram available. But last night when using your app, each time i tried to "kill all" i only got a meager 100-200MB free, at best. Even with all the apps running, i still had like over 1gig, usually 1.5, available. its awesome.
But yeah, still keeping this app for messing with stuff. Thanks.
Awesome, I'll give it a try too. It always annoys the hell out of me that I have to go into settings then apps then go through all my installed apps just to kill a frozen app. It would be awesome if someone could implement the "hold back to kill app" that is in most ROMs.

Certain games and apps on the Essential Phone have the issue of part of the image being cropped out of the frame. I've already tried using the Essential Layout Whitelist Editor, but nothing changes. Some screenshots of the issue are below:

I've only had that problem when adding to whitelist. Even then if I rotated the phone, it would be fine. Only cropped when turned the wrong way. I know, shouldn't matter, fixed soon I hope.

Rotating also does not help, whitelisted or not. In Ace Attorney in particular, there's a giant border on the left, and the game is cut off on the right. Rotating the device around (and every which way) doesn't change it. It's always cut off on the right.

Did you try unlisting everything including systems files? Could be a system setting that was whitelisted that's doing it and not the app itself. Do you also have the navigation hidden? I would uncheck all the navigation including systems settings and see if that help.
I have an issue with some games being stretched and looking weird. I don't know what whitelisting is or how to do it.

Well I unchecked everything from both Fill Status and Hide Navigation. Nothing changed. Then for good measure I checked everything on Fill Status, everything on Hide Navigation, and then both together.
No combination of settings seem to fix the problem.
Sounds like a app im compatibility
Well, I suppose if this isn't fixed by Essential the phone's going back to Best Buy. I've only found a handful of apps that do this (all by different developers), but I'm sure there's more. And considering how small the audience of this phone is, I seriously doubt any app developers will be putting out dedicated fixes for it.
It's not really something I'm willing to put up with on a $700 phone.
I get the impression that this problem is an app incompatibility issue. But is there anything we can do about it if the app does not update to address the issue
I notice this happens to me sometimes on clash of clans, i thought it had someting to do with having a certain notification open wihch i just restart the phone and it fixes it.
