Pie controls & dual window, quickmemo

I use LMT to get Pie Controls on my LG G2 with LG G Pro 2 rom, but I can't seem to be able to link any one the pie buttons to Dual Window and Quick Memo.
Dual Window is normally set to Long Press Back, but mapping a pie button's long press to Long Press Back doesn't do anything.
Quick Memo appears in the App list when I use "open App" as the pie control option, but clicking it does nothing.
Is there a way to get these to work through pie controls? I like these functions a lot and it'd be a real bummer if I had to give them up to use pie controls.
I can access Quick Memo through my notification bar, so that's not the biggest problem... If I can somehow use Dual-Window through the notification center that would be an acceptable plan B option.
I have the same problem... Did you find a workaround?

mini [Guide] How to press menu key on your phone from ADB (no root needed)

While transitioning some old Apps (FuelLog Pro) from my other Android phones onto my S6 Edge, I discovered that some of the apps needed to use a 'menu' key to backup/export. Obviously no way to add a menu softkey without root, SO I figured out how to do it from ADB.
Once you connect your phone to ADB enter the following command for the 'menu' softkey:
Code:
adb shell input keyevent 82
The 'keyevent' relates to various keymappings, annoyingly, the keymappings for the Samsung are a little different from standard Android, which is why I'm making a record of it here.
So far it looks like HOME, BACK, CALL, and Volume follow standard keymappings. I'll update this list if I spend more time digging and find other differences.
You can find the complete list here:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html
This is super useful for running batch commands on Apps from the computer as well.
Use wisely.
Thanks, can we replace the long press on the recent apps button from dual windows to menu key?
I really don't understand where the problem is with just pressing the menu overlay button?
For old Apps without the new Material UI I always get a round overlay button which is acting as a Menu button.
The new one don't have these as they integrate this button themself.
I have not found any app yet where I'm not able to open the menu.
There is no way (as far as I know) but also no need to replace the long press with the menu button.
Menu button is not needed anymore.
I have several apps that don't have the round overlay Menu button (including the aforementioned app, FuellogPro). Mostly it is apps that were written about 2 years ago that got stuck between KitKat and JB. I have quite a few paid apps, so I keep using them (and modifying them) even after support has ended.
You can only reassign the button to 'menu' if you have root.

Multi-window function in Ugoos new firmware for RK3288 devices

Today ugoos team show rockchip lightbiz os in their new firmware based on 5.1.1 android for their RK3288 devices.
In this mode it's look like xubuntu with android buttons.
After activating this feature we see that bottom bar changes its appearance. Now there is a button down left corner that allows you to access application menu. Bottom bar turns into a status bar and we can see opened applications and switch among them. All displayed apps get additional upper bar with 3 common and well known buttons: minimize to tray, extend and close. Extend button allows to choose 3 different sizes. Though some apps don’t let resize your window and turns into book orientation after activating this function.

Possible to clone stock camera on OOS 10?

Hi, i have stock OOS 10 and I am looking for a way to clone the stock camera app (mine is ver 3.0.66) so that i can have a "duplicate" stock camera.
I´m trying to have a duplicate camera so that i can deactivate the main one, thus making it impossible to access it from the lock screen (bottom right corner).
I have tried using App Cloner but the cloned camera doesn't seem to work properly, as some features are not available (such as 1080p 60fps video recording, portrait photos, google lens, and some other settings). I tried playing a little bit with the options but i really have no idea what mos of those are for.
I like the stock camera, it does more than enough for what I want so moving to another one is not an option. Does anyone know how can i properly clone it, or maybe someone can upload a cloned APK ready-to-install?
Thanks in advance!

No interest... Why do complicate when you can do simple
Just use Gesture for Run OOS Cam from the Double Tap bouton ON/OFF
Settings > Button & gestures > "Quickly turn on camera"
(press power button twice for camera)
or
Settings > Button & gestures > Quick gestures > Screeen of Gestures
(Choose a "Draw O/V/S/M/W" shortcut for launch camera, advise the O, gesture is quick and simple)

Thanks, and I'm already doing that, but what I'm trying to do is get rid of the camera shortcut icon on the bottom right corner without having to root. If i disable stock camera, then that shortcut disappears, but I'm left without a camera, and i really like the stock one, that's why i want to clone it with a different package name
