Multi window - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I haven't seen a thread on this and have not done this before. So if I'm posting in the wrong place forgive me.
On the S3 I believe there were a couple if mods for multi window that allowed other apps to be used other than the ones restricted by the device. Is there anything like that for the S4? To the great developers out there can we get something like this?
Many thanks.

Easy way to do it is with this App from the Play Store called "Samsung Multi Window Manager"
XDA wouldn't let me post a link to it on the play store, but just search for it and you can find it easily.

Many thanks to you both!

Adding ALL Apps to Multi-Window

Hi, I see there are a couple tutorials for the Note 2 regarding expanding the choice of apps to Multi-Window. Just wondering if anyone has tried it yet on the S4? I'm certain that this will be part of future ROM's and it looks it's mainly a process of modifying apk's which is above my skill level, unfortunately.
Thanks in advance!
I tried the Galaxy Note 2 method with no luck I am going to try some build prop tweaks tonight and I will report back.

An app called multi window manager on the play store that does that very nicely ... I used to use it on my note 10.1

I also can't wait to root to customize which app icons appear in the shortcut bar in the task bar with headphones plugged in.

One thing that's pretty interesting/entertaining is that since I downloaded this app, my status bar goes away anytime I use the XDA Premium app, but it doesn't do this on any other app, lol!

Halo)))

When an app is pinned in halo))) app , it does not show up when you check notifications. But in the pie you can see the apps that are pinned, any way to avoid this ? Please

Probably not. Halo is still in alpha stages. Live with it, or just don't use it.
Thanks, I wonder why no one complained / mentioned about it still ??

[req] Port Touchless Control?

So Touchless Control has been released on the Google Play store, is there a way to port it?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.audiomonitor
I'm sure it'll find it's way onto other Android devices in the future :good:
Here's a third party app that does the same thing.

Open mic isn't as good by user reviews. And when I used it. +1 for porting touch less control

Yeah it isn't the same. +1 for porting touchless control but im worried about the negative effect it will have on battery life, the moto x has a dedicated language processing core for a reason.

Its at the bottom. You can try to download it from that crappy ass mega site that doesn't work and won't let you download it. Someone needs to put it on a better link.

QuickWindow case mod?

I know not many people have the quickwindow case but wouldn't it be neat to see what its possibilities are? With the right Dev and creative thinkers, it could make people want to get the case. Its just so bland stock. It would be nice to see a mod you could flash or app to install that would allow a customizable window when closed.
Also the ability to lock and unlock my screen just by closing my cover. Very convenient.

This would be great. I tried paranoid android but one of the things that took me back to stock for now was the fact that the cover doesn't work with the Rom.
There's also so much you could do with it. I would really like a snapshot of whatever notification comes through. Kind of like the Moto x notifications but modded for our cover window.

I just want to read the messages from small screen outside the case. It will be so awesome with that.

If anyone can tell me where the files are that are activated when the case is closed and opened I can make the mod myself. I just don't even know where to begin lol

Stock will probably never allow that. I don't understand why this doesn't have more attention. These type of cases are now available for 3+ well known smart phones. I figured by now someone would have made a way to customize these new features.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
This is crazy. I have posted about this and no devs even comment on this topic. Is it difficult or are they just not interested? I can't imagine why they wouldn't be. Being able to read and discard messages. Seems like a no brainer to me. Can someone in the know explain why this isn't happening? I mean I am not trying to force anyone to work on this, but I would have a little peace of mind just gathering some info from all these smart people on why it is not happening.

Wanted: weather app that comes in cyanogen...

I dont want to root my device. But want the weather app that is used in the Cyanogen ROM. Where can I find this?
Before you get burned, this is the wrong place for questions about apps. Use Chronus in the play store.
