Hi Guys,
I just updated my phone with the multiwindow updates and I can't believe how often I have been using it.
I am looking for a notepad type of app that supports multi windows. When one searches for it I generally get, mods or something else that generates multi windows.
Is there a wiki? Would it be a good idea to start a wiki with a list of supported app for multi window?
thoughts please?

There are not many apps which supports multi window function for non rooted device. For rooted, its a whole different story. U can use any apps for this. Like for example I sometimes use whatsaap and xda app along or whatsaap and browser along . Etc etc . U have a mod for it. Search for multi window control. It might be there in themes and app. :thumbup: with that u can add whichever app u want to the mutiwindow feature.

Hi everyone,
I recently got a GT but I've been having some problems using the "search" functions on websites.
For instance, here on XDA, whenever I try to use the "search this thread" the following happens:
1) the input box for entering text appears then,
2) the keyboard pops up for a second then,
3) the input box disappears, so I can't enter anything. [frustrating!]
I have tried this on multiple browsers (Stock, xScope and Dolphin HD) and on different sites and the same problem regardless of if I use the Samsung or Swype keyboards.
I have no similar issues using these browsers on my HTC Glacier (MyTouch 4G) or Nexus One.
One thing I notice, is that whenever the keyboard pops up, there are "Prev." and "Next" tabs right above the keyboard. I am not sure if those "extra" tabs are accidentally causing the browsers to resize the pages thereby shutting down the input text box.
Any ideas?
Also, why does XDA always show up jumbled in portrait view?
Thanks!~

The Tab can't handle these types of windows where they are a window within a window.
However, there is an easy solution.....
What you must do is when you click on the 'Search this Forum' or 'Search this Thread' boxes you must then click on where it says 'Advanced'.
This will then open up a new window where you can then type in your search request.
Regarding Portrait not showing correctly ~ I have no issues with the xda-devs web site in Portait mode. It must be a setting you have.
Thanks. Maybe it is a setting I have in my user cp since that's all I can thunk it might be. I will try your.suggestion.

I have the same problem with my Galaxy S, especially with 'xda 2010' theme and the drop down search boxes, i have tried a few different keyboards (Samsung, Gingerbread, Smart keyboard pro, HTC IME mod) the only one that works with the drop down boxes is HTC IME mod, you might want to give that a try. I have just done a quick search and i am not sure if it has been modded for the Tab?

If it works could you please leave me a vote of thanks..... but I stress, only if you feel it deserves it. The Thanks votes must only be used if someone has assisted or helped an individual in some form or another.
For each vote of thanks I receive my nurses are authorized to remove £10 from my wallet to go to charity.
What version of HTC ime mod are you using. I tried v.27 hi and keep getting fc. Do you have a link to the apk?
Thanks.

I use Firefox for Android and seems to work far better on sites that all the other mentioned browsers have problems with. Including this site. Firefox is still a beta but it works well enough for me on my Tab.
Hi,
I see that apps like RetroUi can had this feature, but is it a way to do it without installing third app ? I really like to have task bar on metro...

Edit: It's not on Metro UI per se, it's on desktop. Don't know what to tell you if you're looking for one for the start screen.

Ok thanks anyway. Nevermind, in fact i start to stay more and more on the standard desktop...

I hope that, as time goes on, we see alot more programs which let us do customization like what yyou're looking for. I would still check out Rocket Dock though, I find it quite handy.

Hi, I have a question about the clipboard, not sure if this can be controlled in any way. I find that in some apps it works and a lot of the time it does not.
When i do see the list i see things from ages ago in the list and wondered why it doesnt come up all the time when i press in a text field?
Are there any apps that can also make this work if android wont do it in all apps?
thanks

Just downloaded pop-up browser from the Playstore. IMO it's better than Samsung's anyways.

Can you do that? For example when I am on Facebook, and there is a blue link to read the all stories from a post, I click it and appears the pop up browser. ..can you do that on note 3?

People, are you serius ? Have you ever used the pop-up browser ? In what way the Pen Windows can replace the pop-up browser ? IT CAN'T !!! :crying::crying:
Every Link you have, on Note 2, you can open it with pop-up browser, so it mean that if you are on hangout / facebook / whateveryouwant you can open a link in the pop-browser, so you can follow 2 things at time. Pen Windows can't open link in other app, so it can't replace the pop-up browser !

Just downloaded popup browser from the play store it's quite like the old popup browser but not for me at the moment I uninstalled it.I do not miss the old popup browser the new multitasking is better.But my old phone was a note 1 so maybe popup on 2 was better
pen windows as popup browser
On my Note 1 if I have the browser running in split mode, any link I click in the other half will be opened here. I'd think pen window would act the same.
A Note 3 owner please confirm this:
1. Create a pen window
2. minimize it
3. click on a link in facebook (or whatever app)
4. Does it activate pen window?
if it does, I think pen window will be an improvement for popup browser, which I am also a big fan of on the Note 1.

My twitter feed i click on link and open chrome browser in a resizeable /switchable popup !!
( i do not know about facebook,as i don't really use it on my phone )
post edit
second screenshot i clicked on link in my gmail ..same results with blue icon options etc..!!!.
also to be clear i achieve this not by using multi window side bar, but in relevant standalone app itself,clicking on link..etc///( e.g tweetcaster ...gmail...)

It's not the same, it's a workarount !
In that way you need to use multiwindows and you need to open 2 apps and this mean that the apps with links is compatible with multiwindows. With pop-up browser it's not needed (you can also disable multiwindows) and it's more fast and usable on the go.
Click on Link => Open in pop-up browser
Easy, no multiwindows, no more steps, Nothing Else.
You are not convincted ?
Easy Diagram Steps
Note 3 with no pop-up browser
1)Open Multiwindows
2)Drag the Internet app
3)Drag the Compatible App
4)Click on the central blue point and choose the apposite tool
5)Drag and Drop the link on the Internet navigation bar
AMAZING !!! So fast, few steps and .... compatible with all apps ... Ah wait, only with multiwindows compatible app
Note 2 With pop-up browser
1) Open whatever you want app and click the link
2) Choose to open in pop-up browser
Few steps, compatibile with all apps, fastest ..... Don't think i'll use multiwindows to open link instead of a pop-up browser :laugh:
BTW I'll use the app "Browser window", but this a big missing in Note 3
The way I, and I think a lot of people, use pop-up browser is to click on a link in another app (EG: e-mail) and have the browser content display less than full-screen so the original app (EG: e-mail) doesn't lose focus so you can close the browser content and continue where you left off. The N3 does this automatically. At least mine does. This is clicking on an advert link from within an e-mail. I don't have to "open" or "split" anything to get it to behave this way; it just does.
Pen window as popup browser
I mentioned multi window only as an example. My suggestion is to have a pen window browser minimized, and then click on a link in any app.
Is it directed into the pen-window-browser or a full screen browser is started?
I don't yet have an N3 to check it on

So you get the multi-wndow browser behavior out of the box without applying any particular settings? I can't get mine to do it without first firing up the browser in a multi-window.
I've used pop up browser, Pen window is just as good

I'm trying to make my own icon pack, and I don't know much about xml coding. I've been trying to learn through other people's templates, but I was hoping someone could help explain to me how to target specific launchers. What about the xml coding targets LGHome launcher? I was hoping to make my start there.
-I fully understand DPI, and the sizes of the icons required to work in all forms (mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi, and xxxhdpi) I also understand that the Google Play icon must be at least 512px x 512px
-I understand file formatting, though I DO NOT KNOW what format would be best in this case to use (I think bitmaps were recommended strongly)
-I have the latest version of Android Studio and Android SDK Standalone
I will be experimenting with codes and icons, but I am unsure of how to test them on one of my own Android Devices (LG G2 & Nexus 10)
Would I upload the file directly to my device once I pack it? How do I make my project into an APK
To target other launchers you need to find package id of the particular launcher and add the same to main activity of your app.
You need to export the file using adt or to test ypu can also run the app in adt and install it in your phone.
Do some google you will understand or co relate what i said

Spoonfeed required, I'm totally new at this. Where can I find the package id of each individual launcher? I've been Googling how to do this, but it isn't exactly a popular topic, which is why I came here to ask for help.
I will look into everything you said though, thank you.

Install apex launcher and tap for 3 sec on the home screen free area. This will open menu and show u shortcut option slext the same and then select activity.
Now scroll down until u find the desired launcher and it will show u the package id.
Ps you need to have launcher installed first to see the package id.
Alternatively, open playstore in pc and search the app you want to see the package id. Open its page and on top it will show you the package id.
