[Q] Home screen preview

Hi All
I understand that tapping my home button is meant to bring up a preview of all my home screens, but I tap repeatedly and nothing happens (the phone vibrates tho).
Is there some way to enable this?

You understand incorrectly. If you are looking for that feature you will need a third-party launcher.

If you're running the stock TW launcher then that feature isn't available. You need a 3rd party launcher like Launcher Pro for that feature.

[Q] Any app for changing onscreen buttons?

I've rooted my device using CF Autoroot and am not looking into installing a custom ROM for the moment.
I was wondering if there is an app that lets me change the onscreen buttons. I would really prefer the menu button instead of the multi-tasking button and use a long-press on the back button to bring up multi-tasking. Is there any app that would let me do that. While at it, would also be nice to reduce the height of buttons oh-so-slightly for more screen real estate.

*SOLVED * [Q]Install Button Non-Responsive

[EDITED/SOLVED]Latest update of Onibabar was causing the INSTALL BUTTON to become unresponsive, when using a file explorer, after selecting to have the battery bar on the left or right side of the screen. Having the bar at the top or bottom of the screen won't effect it, but when the left or right side of screen has the battery bar going down it, the INSTALL BUTTON can no longer be used.

Try with Solid Explorer

Re: [Q]Install Button Non-Responsive
Were you updating an app? Press the all tab

have you installed a screen adjusting program lately ?

SOLVED!

I actually saw this suggestion after doing some further research but it turned out to be a different 3rd party app...

And yes, it started happening after an update done to Onibabar. Its an app that places a battery bar on your screen and up until just recently it could only be positioned on either the top or bottom of the screen. After the update, it now allows the bar to be placed going down the left or right side of the screen as well AND its when either one of these options is selected that the INSTALL BUTTON becomes unresponsive!!

Multi window toggle and by holding back button?

Hi,
I just bought this phone, upgraded from my Note 4. Basically on the Note 4, there's a toggle and setting for multi windows, but I dont see it on the Edge+? Where can I find it?
Also, on the Note 4 I can hold the back button then a side panel will appear with the list of apps that can be used in multi windows. But holding back button on the edge+ doesnt do anything?
I've done some googling but didnt find anything useful, pls help.

Press and hold the recent apps button. Available apps will appear at the bottom of the screen. You can scroll left and right through the apps. Just select an app and it will fill the top half of your screen. Second app selected will fill the bottom half.

Hi,
What you mentioned is split view. In Note4, if i have a full screen app running (e.g. games), then when i hold the back button, it will allow me to open another apps as a popup window so I can let the full screen app running while looking at the pop up app. But the split view doesnt support this as both apps need to be split view-able

Is there any way to put Nav Controls on the Second Screen?

I have my V20 navigation controls hidden for almost all apps because I like the full 5.7" screen always displayed, but it's a pain sometime to swipe up to get access to them. Is there any way to get a 3rd party app that you can put into the Second Screen as an app shortcut, and when you click the app shortcut icon it will navigate DIRECTLY with the one press on the second screen (i.e. go to home screen and back button, mainly)? I don't think it could be a widget because you can't load widgets as a app shortcut on the 2nd screen. Note that I am NOT rooted.
Probably not but I just thought I'd ask.

This actually works in the nav bar as a return to home button, although will not appear on recent apps when used. Now looking for a back button

If you have any sort of experience with Tasker I'm sure you can create a simple task that goes back, and just assign it to a button that you throw on the 2nd screen though I just checked and some widgets don't actually work in the 2nd screen. Greenify works fine but my mobile payment app doesnt't.

Seems like it can't be a widget or floating button. Can't find a back button that works by clicking the app shortcut icon like the home button does above (i.e. no app options - click and executes the one function directly). Oh well at least I have half what i need.

A pain to swipe up but easier to reach all the to the top of the screen? Smh. Doesn't make sense.

I'm often at the top of my screen switching apps and want to get to the home screen. Plus ONE press on a button instead of a swipe up and press and have it hide again. My thumb is on average in the middle of the screen so up and down or the same. Plus if holding the phone in my left hand it's easier to get at the top with my right hand index finger. Just tried the home button above and definitely faster and less annoying then the hidden nav bar. Doesn't seem like there is a similar back button anywhere that i can find.

All I have to say is software nav FTW!
