Where is the android download manager in this phone? It seems to be hidden. I tried downloading a video from an app, then the Android download manager popped up in the notification panel and started downloading the video.
The issue is the download manager is not accessible for commands such as pause, resume, stop, delete etc. It will run in background and stop when the downloading is complete, but all this is done only in the notification Panel, nothing In the app drawer.

Here I present a program called Notification Browser. It will show a list of all received notifications and tries to extract the info and show it as a list. Also a widget is included. Tapping the notification should start the corresponding intent and tapping the garbage bin icon should delete the notification from the list. The idea was to be able to have a full screen launcher and even then having easy access to notifications.
For it to work, you need to go to accessibility settings and enable Notification browser.
Release thread is here.

Excellent! Discovered a few things I didn't know! Of course, this is my first JB 4.x device, so I just may be behind!
No problem. This video is aimed at a large audience so I'm sure many will know most, but even if you found one new tip it was worth it
It was definitely more than one, but the uninstall directly from the app drawer was worth watching the whole thing just for THAT tip!
Helpful link. Thanks for posting!
For some reason when I am downloading or updating apps now the progress meter no longer shows in the dropdown menu and the icon in the notification bar at the top is no longer there. Once it is done downloading, the icon reappears and shows it is updating. Does anyone know how I can get this to show up again?
***I think I may have figured out the issue: I had turned off download manager and downloads in application manager but now have turned them back on and it is still not showing the download progress. Anyone know of a way to fix this issue?
I am having an android app developed and the developer sent me the .APK file so I can test the first version. I have successfully installed the .APK file on my Android device. However, when I run it, the app shows the name of each activity (with the app's logo) at the top, as shown in the following link quickid.net slash activity.JPG (XDA won't let me post a link, yet). The left picture shows the MainActivity, and the right picture shows the startTrail activity. So, what's up with that? Is it some kind of test mode? How can I run the app as it would normally be run as if it were downloaded from the Play store, without it showing the activity names at the top? Also, when the app puts text in the notification bar, it says "Rolling text on statusbar" before showing the text.
That looks like your dev make a mistake.
A while ago someone posted a thread about Remix OS which really made me think how good that would be. Unfortunately as we can see development for this device is next to 0 so i decided make this guide for anyone who might want to have a similar experience on a stock rooted rom with xposed.
***I DID NOT MAKE ANY OF THESE APPS, I JUST ZIPPED THOSE THAT I USE AND MADE THIS TUTORIAL SO THOSE THAT WANT THIS DONT NEED TO SEARCH EVERYWHERE TO FIND THEM***
***The xhalomultiwindow beta app was found near the end of the xhalomultiwindow thread and the sidebar is from another thread on XDA and all credits for the apps go to their creators***
Firstly ... there are bugs like sometimes something will force close or some apps might freak out a bit when being resized in the floating mode and not scale properly but it works in my opinion well enough for every day use.
With this tutorial i assume that you have xposed installed and running. If you dont, just do a fast google search for *xposed for lollipop 64 bit* or something similar and you will find it on XDA.
1. Download the zip in this post and extract with 7zip
2. Install the Xhalofloatingwindow-beta apk
3. Activate module in Xposed installer and reboot
4. Install the sidebar apk
5. Run the Toggle MultiWindowSidebar app from your app drawer(this should make a arrow in a white semi circle show up on the right side of the screen-the sidebar)
6. Run the MultiWindowSidebar app from the app drawer and enable start on boot and keep service in background. Here you also add in the apps you want to have and choose how they open if you drag them or tap them from the sidebar. I have it set in Drag Launch Mode to XhaloFloatingWIndow Portrait (landscape has weird scaling) and in Tap Launch Mode to Default which will open the app like normal android would
7. Open xHaloFloatingWindow from the app drawer and in the Popup WIndow menu set the Popup Dim to 0% (it is a matter of personal taste but i like it more this way with no dimming)
8. On the next page (swipe right to movable and resizeable) enable the switch and here you can play around a bit with the settings and set them as you like
9. Do a reboot just for good measure, it probably isnt needed but i did it anyway.
10. Have fun and dont try to kill me if something freaks out because you made the window 1x1cm
Another app that works nicely with this but is totally standalone is OGyoutube, while you can use normal youtube with this the OG app also allows playing in background downloading and playing with the screen off so i would highly recommend it.
Thanks for sharing! I'll play round with this
