So it seems that only certain apps work with multi-screen and it is not just samsung apps.
Here I plan (with your help) to create a difinitive list of all apps that will work.
I have already noticed that some apps allow themselves to be splitscreened even when they do not appear in that list e.g. official twitter app.
Some apps you will find when you press the edit button, you can then drag them to the main list, or remove ones you do not use.
Samsung Apps
- ChatON
- Email
- Gallery
- Internet
- Messaging
- S-Note
- Video Player
Google Apps
- Chrome
- Gmail
- Maps
- Talk
- Youtube
Third Party Apps
- Facebook
- Official Twitter app
- Polaris (Viewer)
Note: you will need to be using Samsung stock keyboard to benefit from typing when on multi-screen mode, otherwise your keyboard will cover the entire bottom screen.
I just installed the official Twitter app and it is now in the multiscreen menu tab

weird its not showing up for me, did you login to the app? maybe its because I have not logged in?
What about S-planner and Calculator app? I would think these would be two of the most useful to use multi-screen, or at least floating over the screen like the galaxy tabs.

a '*' denotes that the app works in split screen but cannot be selected from the list, it must be activated first then another added as the second screen, therefore two apps with the '*' will not be able to be paired together.

Mine had Twitter in it from the time the multi view was installed.
I had to press edit and drag the twitter icon from there.
Splanner and calculator do not work in split screen.

Thanks for the info. Bewildering why they would leave out calculator and S-planner from split screen. Two apps that would seem to benefit most from it.
Maybe Samsung will add more apps at future firmware updates.

Anyone know if there is a multi-screen api that devs can use to make compatible apps? It would be epic to get tapatalk and Skype added to the list.

Would love to use Skype with Multi-window. A video call while being able to use the phone.Actually, imagine Skype with video pop up. That would be fairly handy.
Looking forward to the future of the Note 2.
Ohh, This splitscreen rocks
Waiting for Skype to be added in this list

If anyone gets a chance can you see if Netlix will work, possible by opening it then adding something like Facebook to the screen. Thanks in advance, I'm so excited about getting this phone.

Press and hold the back button for 2-3 seconds. If nothing happens then your firmware doesn't support multiview.

Hi all
I can access the Digital Spy website OK and it looks correct but none of the links on the page work.
I've tried both the stock browser & Chrome and it's the same for me on both.
I'm currently using the Buttered AOKP ROM and don't have this issue with any other site.
Are others able to use this site or test the link above and let me know if it works OK for you?
Cheers, Paul
I just gave it a try and couldn't open any links with a simple touch. But, if I long-press, I can choose 'Open' or 'Open in new tab' and that will open the link.
Cool Groid, that works for me too!
Bit odd though don't you think?

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.

( 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

Thank you XDA! You are my heroes! None of this would be possible without all of you! And some awesome app developers.
1.) root
2.) titanium backup pro
- freeze knox apps
- freeze S finder
3.) Button Savior Pro (for setting up your right thumb controls)
- set virtual buttons to appear from bottom right swipe up
- set buttons to back, menu, home (task switch too if you want and extra buttons to shift important buttons to the left more)
- buy the HD skin so it looks pretty
4.) Switchr with Pro upgrade (for setting up your left thumb controls)
- use bottom edge to activate Switchr (latest version is awesome for thumb navigation on tablets)
5.) Wanam Xposed (follow link to Xposed Framework install)
- remap home long press to Google Now
WARNING! I got in some boot loops messing with Wanam. I did a power off by holding down the power button and turning it back on and that fixed it. I think. I AM NOT AN XPOSED EXPERT! Wanam is not for the faint of heart. There is an undo thing you can flash but still. It's scary. But it will also let you pick what apps are available for multi-window mode which I haven't tried editing yet.
But with all this my device a lot less laggy (at least to me it is), it's perfect for two handed thumb navigation, I have virtual buttons I can always access in either portrait or landscape, I have a quick way to access Google Now and long pressing the capacitive buttons in portrait doesn't do anything that kicks me out of the app.
I absolutely love this tablet now. I'm sure this isn't how everyone wants to use their Note but I thought I would share in case somebody has similar goals. If anybody wants to know a specific setting I used for the setup of the apps, I will try my best to answer.

Hi fellow devs nd members of xda,
I have got problems with my Galaxy S4.. The sview is flashing throughout my screen without any S-Cover or any magnetic material. This happens randomly.. So I need to disable the s-view service and associated files.
I have tried the following :
1. Disable s-view from system settings
2. Renamed and changed permission for system/app/sview service.apk
I heard from another developer to change the value from OPEN to CLOSE in hall_detect file located at sys/devices/virtual/sec/sec_key. But I can't write into the file or rename the file.. The only thing I can do is change the permissions, but that doesn't help..
Does anyone have any idea how this sview works. It's become annoying when I play movies or games on my S4..
Many thanks
AJ

If you're rooted you could try the xposed modules, there's one in there that disables S-View.
I will edit this post if I find the specifics.

It's as close as you can get without disabling the sensor. I didn't hook into the phone so that might still show the S-View window, but that's no biggie. Also, the Smart Stay icon disappears, but hey, that can be a plus

You saved my ass, thanks for that. After getting root and so on I tried to follow your instructions. The App was there and I stopped it but needed only one tap (clicked once ->Force Stop) and then stick it on the phone holder but again the S View Cover Screen comes on (with time/date and status bar). I have no clue what to do now because I can't deactivate the app even.
EDIT: When I deactivate the app per third party app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SystemCleanup.Inteks.org) the black screen comes on without time and date. So there is any other process that start when a magnet comes close to the S4 ?

Yes, of course the holder has magnets too so yeah I know its triggering that view but I thought that view could be fully disabled without a custom rom.
A custom rom is no solve for me right now.
The Question would be how the S View got removed in the roms then I could do the same for my stock rom.
Found out that the Hall Sensor triggers that but found nothing to disable or something like that.
