Hey, i just saw that the Huawei Ascend D2 has on-screen buttons that you can hide easy and pop it up again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UH4Zt9lP23c(it's from 0:55) and just wondering if anybody could make something like that for the nexus 4?
There are a few ways to do it i believe. If you have a root a few apps will let you do it. Also AOKP has options to change it, as far as without root I'm not sure as I didn't try before i rooted my device. One of the things I have set is using Gesture Control I made swiping gestures from the area where the buttons would have been instead of having the buttons. I think it looks a lot better and for me works just as well.
download a custom rom such as cm10.1 to get this feature.
AOKP CM10.1 and PA all support this in the power menu.
Yes i know about the extended desktop, and i use it all the time. But i were thinking about a button on the soft-keys and a gesture to enable and disable it.

pa has per app expand. meaning you define app you like to jump into this and that mode and they will. if they have a quit button your bars will come back automatically.
there are apps out there can can do that with gestures. three finger gesture or whatever - not sure if they can hide the navigationbar because that would need framework changes afaik. we're working on something like that actually, its not yet 100% ready though.

Is there anyway I can add some apps to the Air Command options?

not yet
it needs to flash a mod (after unlock-bootloader and root)
or completely custom rom that support this
search dev. sec. and ask them to think about it...

Samsung programmers must be idiots. This would have been a great feature.
i was searching the net for this too these days but found nothing about it.
would really like to see a mod allowing us to custumize it.
i dont use (s)crapbook and sfinder for example and i have uninstalled them, so clicking the icons in air command triggers nothing atm.

In my view, all the options on Air Command are useless with the exception of Action Memo.
ahah it is more annoying then useful! every time i extract s pen i must close it >.<.... i use it only for screenshot and rarely for clipping... it's a circle , they could at least, let us choose other command to complete the circle xD

No problem.
Great idea
I would really love this:fingers-crossed:. I wonder if an app would have to replace the existing air command.

There is currently no such application.
Maybe we should contact some people that can do this and ask them if they would do it.
Do you know anyone in this forum?
U could ask wanam to add such a feature to wanam exposed.
Or the guy who did "pen window manager"
hit 'thanks' if i helped you
SM-N9005 DBT-DMJ7 0x0
XDA Developers 4 premium app
yes, there is an esy way, but you must have root, there is an apk, pen window manager, and even another to launch air command without detaching the pen, it is pen window launcher, pen window manager is really helpful, since you can put any app you want in pen window
is there a controller shortcut to see what apps ar eopen..
thanks

It seems the Android TV OS itself is missing this function. Maybe Xposed will get us this in the future, but I guess someone have to write a root app that add the whole function.

That's incorrect. The functionality I'd there. Not sure how to use controller though. On a wireless keyboard ALT+Tab bring up recents

Ok, but it is always empty. At least for me.
If you have xposed, you can try xposed additions to remap controller buttons, im pretty sure there was a recent apps button option ........just quickly checked, yep

The problem is not the button. The recent list is always empty.
I figure its not what you want, but there's a running apps section of the SETTINGS/DEVICE/APPS. I just force stop any misbehaving apps from there.

Are you running stock or custom firmware?
Root/No root?
Xposed/no xposed?
stock rooted. The developer of halauncher stated that he can't implement such recent app list on Android tv because it is missing the code for it.

Haven't revisited the functionality since viewing this thread, but i do recall it being empty. But I do think I've had success in the quick Alt+Tab to flip back and forth between 2 most current apps
It's there

check this thread. I described how I was doing it before. Just got my RMA from Nvidia and I'm oem unlocking right now. Maybe those wacky people over at Gooogle took it out since the latest update. or just use OmniSwitch http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/help/recent-apps-t3150450
I wish they'd add in the app switcher/task manager as well. I don't like the way it appears there's something running in the background when I just hit the home button on the controller. Pandora appears to be running, for example, if you just hit the home button.
Hi,
I'm looking for a way to create a shortcut on the homescreen. A shortcut which opens the multi window tray (not the floating multi window tray you open with the S-pen, but the one on the side).
I know long pressing the back-key does that, but that doesn't work in certain apps (like text editor apps where it actually goes to the previous screen, or the standard video player where it just doesn't open).
Once I have that shortcut I can map it to a button so I can get the multi window tray open everytime I want to.
Does anyone has any idea how to do that?
Thanks!
Try QuickShortcutMaker app.

There's no option in that app to make such a shortcut I'm afraid.
I don't think it's possible, but I could be wrong. Have you tried using a custom ROM? There's support for double pressing the power button (or any other button) to open another app in multi window and it works flawless. I use it on Phronesis Note 7 port, works really well.

No I haven't tried a custom ROM, I prefer to stick with the stock ROM. But I know what you mean. That is also something you can do with the stock ROM with MW Manager. But it's not that what I'm looking for.
Anyone?
We all know Xiaomi doesn't let us use multiwindow on its MIUI though its an android nougat feature. However there's a nifty trick to activate this feature on any nougat MIUI device including our Mi 5.
Note that this works on nougat based MIUI only.
First download the app called Button Mapper. You need the pro version.
Playstore link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton
Open the app and give permission for services.
Go back to the app and click the 'Menu' button. On top activate customisation. Click on long press. Scroll down and select Split screen.
Your device is now ready to use splitscreen or multiwindow feature. Open an app. Press and hold the menu or recents button. Slide your finger from the extreme bottom of the screen to slide the window up. Now you can open and run another app simultaneously. When using two apps at a time, press the outline separating the windows for a few options.
Make sure to allow the app to autostart in Security>Permissions>Autostart.
Not all apps are supported by default but you can do it by enabling force activities to be resizable from developer settings. And this won't always work like you intend. You may face a few bugs.

Just got news that miui is bringing multiwindow in miui 8. The alpha builds will get it first. Quick reoly is probably a long way to go, sadly.
Thank you
The quick reply is really much important and useful then the multitasking window , I hope someone here can find a workaround or an app that can do this without rooting , I have tried some floating apps like notifly but all doesn't provide any thing near the native quick reply feature
works only for menu button? tryed other and no effect

Havent looked into it. This is probably because the app alters input of the device. Does three finger screenshot stop working when using two windows at a time or just after configuring anything within the app?
