It would be nice to have the ability to open in multiwindow mode with OmniSwitch. Even better if we could have a toogle in OmniSwitch settings, to decide whether we want apps to launch automatically in multiwindow mode or not. Also, once an apps is in MultiWindow, it would be nice to have an option to force it to go back to full screen. For now, the only way I can do it is by hitting the back button until I'm sent back to Home screen.

Is there a way to change the way the split screen feature activates? I'm trying to get back my pie control/gestures so I can remove the nav bar and get back some screen space. The only problem is that the only way to activate multiwindow is to use the stock app switcher button. I can't find any other way to do it, is there a way?
Edit: Figured it out. Press and hold any app when the recent apps window is open and drag it to the top. Mods feel free to delete this post.
It is sometimes hard to reach the top of the screen to expand notification area, so a dedicated button will be great (kinda like Nova Launcher's gesture to expand notifications). It's fairly easy to code.
Also, task switch button has a new functionality in Nougat, which is long-press to enable multiwindowed mode. It will be great if someone made multiwindowed mode work with OmniSwitch, and in the best case scenario just implementing a button that will trigger multi-windowed mode would be enough.

First of, you need to enable full immersive (hide both navbar and status bar) via ADB command described in this article
https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...re-screen-real-estate-no-root-needed-0177297/
Then go to Edge screen settings and download/install Softkey Edge application. For convenience, order the Softkey edge to be first.
Let me know how it goes.
Nice!.... I will try
I tried this and while I like the full immersion I have to wonder if there's really a reason for the edge navigation since the soft keys already show back up if you swipe up from the bottom.
I went with toggle immersive mode remapped on my bixby button..
it's better since we'll have quick option/action to turn on and off the immersive mode.

They probably used either BixBye or bxActions (or some other equivalent) but I have found that those apps cause scrolling lag/dropper frames when granted accessibility rights. I used a combo of GMD Immersive Mode and Navigation Layer and found it worked pretty well without lag issues.

well I made the toggle immersive app using tasker and autotools since I have them.
(in tasker select plug-in > autotools > secure settings > display > immersive mode)
then use bixby remapper app to launch it, just choose one that works for you.
at first I used bixbye app to remap bixby button, but it's accessibility rights and usage
broke my one hand mode setting.
then I use Bixby remapper that still has old accessibility rights mode (without swipe rights)
and it's working fine.. I don't see any scrolling lag .
definitely cool. easy to do. figer sensor also works to bring down the notification panel so I just did the notification. I like my Nav bar.
well I reverted.. this breaks Google voice typing. and Whatsapp looks all broken.
Hey Guys,
I want to find a way to show an extra button on my nav-bar to hide my nav-bar. I am watching for a solution for like 2 month and still didn't find a way to do it.
I tried 'Custom Navigation Bar' where I can activate an immersive mode but the nav-bar is auto hiding after some seconds and I don't want that. You can add extra buttons to the nav-bar in this App but I don't know any Keycode which hides the nav-bar. Is there even a Keycode who does this?!?
I can't believe that I can't find a solution to this problem I found apps who can hide the nav-bar and I found apps who can add extra buttons to the nav-bar. all of this without root. But how to combine this? Anyone?
Ty for your time
Greetings Mr 305
using custom nav bar:
1.
Create a new profile (called mine "immersive") check change immersive settings, hide which ever you want
add button (i used left), type = toggle profile, select immersive profile, i set icon to chevron up.
2.
go back to main screen, click nav bar, change immersive mode yes, but keep nav and status bar unchecked.
add same button, type = toggle profile, select immersive profile, I set the icon to chevron up.
This will give you a button that toggles between immersive and non immersive profiles, you can obviously make other changes to the main screen and profile seperately
Ty sir!!! Works like a charm
Perfekt<3
Just trying to make my new tablet with China ROM feel like home, and want to use my normal launcher "Action Launcher" couldn't figure out how to override the gesture, so turned on the navigation buttons, but the home button does do anything. Anyone know how I can fix the home button, or override the home gesture?
Also the quick tiles, I notice that it doesn't use standard android quick tiles, so the apps that usually have quick tiles don't show up. Can I add more tiles?
Tablet did OTA update to 13.0.364, and I do have L1 windvine. Anything else I should do?
Nova Launcher works great for me. You can then set it to the default launcher. I keep the Lenovo gestures and have added a home button to the home screen.
