Seems like Samsung either changed or completely removed dual view/multi window support for the S8 since I can't seem to get it working now by holding the recent button. Anyone get this working again with Pie?

Go to recent apps and long press on the app's card, then drag to the top or bottom half of the screen.

Tap the app icon at the top of the card in recents view and you can select view options (split-screen, pop-up, etc.).
So Samsung is using the INFERIOR way of getting it working which is just super annoying since it was so freaking easy before.

I'm have slight buyers remorse, but I have a few more days till I can't return it for a full refund. I hoping to find out if any of the issue I have with the Note 3 or more accurately touchwiz will be able to be solved. I'm coming from a history of running customs ROMS on my galaxy S1 and galaxy S2, most of the time cyaogenmod. Lucky I find touchwiz has improved but here are my over all gripes:
Can't change the vibration pattern for notifications, most importantly text messages and emails. You can create customs patterns but they are only for calls. This is my biggest problem right now. And the fact that clearing a message from the notification bar doesn't mark it as read is annoying.
I would love on screen buttons, with this much screen restate it's a great phone for on screen buttons, I also find getting low enough to press the capacitive buttons with my thumb and still holding the phone a bit difficult and I think I would have no trouble if there was on screen buttons. - SoftKey Enabler, requires root- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fatedevgroup.softkeyenabler&feature=search_result

I really got used and liked the pop up/quick message window option that cyaogenmod had. I would like that along with the removal of chat bubbles.
I also liked black/Holo design, I sure this can and will come some how. Also we'll see how kitkat ends up looking...
How likely is it that my gripes with touchwiz can be fixed, yet still stay on touchwiz framework due to not wanting to lose functionality? I am aware it will require root and most likely a custom ROM, but if I was able to start out with just some modifications to stock rom, that might be a good start. I might find out but 1-4 are my biggest complaints. I love the note 3's hardware, but I'm hoping the roms/touchwiz won't push me toward the nexus 5....
One additional question, all these model numbers are confusing as hell. I have the N900W8, will that hinder my ability to use custom roms? Is it an equivalent to another model number? (X-Note is the only roms I've seen so far the explicitly says its compatible with the 900W8)

All suggestions welcome.
Edited with solutions in blue. I haven't tried them yet
If you open Magazine and hit menu, then choose Settings, you can turn the double home press off from in there.
The swipe from the bottom gesture can't be disabled short of doing something like freezing Magazine with Titanium Backup.

A fwlew of these things are easily fixed with xposed wanam module. You need to be rooted though. As for Google voice, freeze svoice (maybe you can just clear defaults, but I froze it) then when you double tap home, you'll be given options in what you want that to do.

Just got my Note 3.
Somehow the Home screen moved from position 4 to position 3.
How can I get it back in 4?
Moving up from S II and also have Note 8 but this seems more complicated.
Thanks
Soft menu key, edit page
Thanks that worked but now another problem.
Removed the weather time thing and I got a "No cards" banner.
What does that mean?
How do I get rid of it?
Tried to move the Google Now widget to the home screen, got this framework with dots that I couldn't do anything with and now I have 2 No Cards littering my home screen.
Any way to make the icons 5 across instead of 4?
Thanks in advance.

Delete the widget, then choose the correct size you need/require from widget menu and readd to where you want them.
I was able to remove the No Cards and put in Google now.
But I still can't move any of my app icons to the home page. It looks like there is plenty of room but it snaps them back to the previous page.
Also S-Planner: I tried to install (month view) it to the screen next to the home screen, it defaulted to the last screen and every time I try and move it, it returns to last screen.
I even deleted it and tried again, nothing different.

It won't let you move them to the home page? strange, make sure you are dragging them in fully as sometimes it'll snap them back if you don't.
With the S-Planner widget, again you'll have to resize it for it to sit on the screen you desire.
Hi I am on 4.4.2 stock rom rooted. All of a sudden the multitasking key on my S5 when held no longer brings up the menu in any app or home screen it just opens the multitasking as if I pressed it instead of holding. Also, I can no longer take screenshot via pressing the home button and power button at the same time as it just opens Google now. I have home2 launcher installed to open Google now instead of svoice but this does no longer works as well. I am not sure how the problem occurred out of the blue. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

First, you have to distinguish between the key failing to work per se and a key that works fine but does a different action than you expected. If you meant the latter, then simply reassign the function that you prefer to the key.
You said that you had a third party launcher change a key action which no longer works. So go back to your custom launcher settings and reinitialize that setting again. If your app doesn't let you adjust those settings, then reinstall the app to have your key preference set again. Or use an app like xposed to remap the key function.
Another example that you cited was the "multitasking key". That isn't a standard label, so it's uncertain which key you are referring to, but probably you mean the left soft key, located to the left of the home button. Test it by dialing *#0*#
Then Sub key on the hardware test menu
Inevitably the test will show that the key works fine and you just need to remap it's function.
Likewise with your screen shot issue. Go back to whatever app setup that key combination to take a screen shot with those two keys and reset it again.
.
Thanks for the reply, how do you go about remapping the softkey. The screenshot issue has nothing to do with a third party app I have uninsulated all launchers and used the stock touchwiz launcher and the problem persists. All buttons work fine for around 30 seconds after I boot then they start acting as previously mentioned which leads me to believe it's an app that has somehow changed the functions of the hardware keys. I just wanted to know if anyone had a clue what's causing it as I have tried and it is driving me up the wall.

Please use paragraphs, those walls of text are hard to read.
Agreed that it sound like apps loading after boot are customizing the key functions in ways that you don't like. You can disable or uninstall as many apps as possible and add them back one at a time to see which ones cause problems. Or, as mentioned previously, use xposed framework to remap the key functions.
You're hoping for a short cut in having someone name what specific apps are involved. That's a long shot at best that someone would just happen to know. And you should have at least listed all of the apps on your phone to narrow it down.. or help jog someone's memory.

Home key and app swap soft key not working
I have a galaxy s5 and just updated to lollipop 5.0 and then the home key and app swap key stopped working. Also it was running very slowly and I thought maybe it was because I had 384 apps installed (11 gig). Anyway it was driving me crazy but I didn't want to perform a factory reset. Too many programs into to lose..
I followed the instruction to take out the SD card and SIM card and restart without the SIM card and they started working again so I replaced the SIM card and it works fine now..
Thank you forum..

I was wondering.. can the app button in touchwiz be put in the middle instead of where it is right now (right side)? I always had the button in the middle, whenever I had it anywhere else I ended up moving it so I'm used to it.
Is it possible to place it to the middle or is it stuck in there?

You can't on the S5 - so im guessing the same is true for the Note 4.
If not - the only way would be to use another launcher.

I guess I'll have to get used to the new button placement, but I can't understand why they wouldn't let a user arrange the home screen icons, funny
So far Oreo is a noticeable improvement in battery and lag. But... Something has changed when using Instagram. The home touch buttons are now too closely overlayed over the Instagram buttons. They're literally on top of each other down there at the very bottom of the phone, With each button ust slightly to the left of each other. The result is that you're constantly hitting the wrong button, no room at all for error.
As a remedy I installed the XDA gestures app but that has a new slide bar that sits right in the center of the screen when using Whatsapp so that you cant see what you're typing. I have to tilt the phone in landscape to get the bar out of the text input box. Any suggestions?
I experience the same issue in both vanilla instagram and GBinsta.
Another issue is that Google Assistant is also right in top of the LG home touch buttons so that it blocks me using the screen capture/screenshot button. I have to do the fingerprint button+volume button thing. Otherwise the related searches pull up results take up half the screen so I cant screen capture. Google must really want us to buy Pixel phone...
What models are yall using? I'm on H918 Oreo using the small display size and my instagram works just fine.
I don't use Instagram all that much but I just went to check out this issue.
The thing that I noticed right off the bat was that if you have the "Home Touch Buttons" set to hide then when you use Instagram they will almost completely overlap when dragged up.
Solution: Use the little square dot in the bottom left corner (tap to change the state) to keep the Home Touch Buttons from hiding. They will nicely reside under the Instagram app and not be overlapped. When done with Instagram just tap the square to go back to the hidden state.
Hopefully this will be of use to you.
