Multi-window all apps? - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't believe this has been asked yet. sorry if it has.
Is there currently any way to enable all app multiwindow like we could with the note 2? is it just a matter of time waiting for a dev to find out how or is it no longer possible? thanks

Wanam xposed. It at least works for every app I have wanted.

Double screen capabilities

I know the Note 10.1 can open up two apps on the screen, but that it's limited to certain apps. I would like to have Google Translate in one window and Evernote or OneNote in the other. Is this possible?

Currently with stock no you cannot do this you are limited to a few Samsung apps. However with the Jellybean update and a root there is a mod you can do that lets the multiscreen work with almost any app. That would likely do what you're looking for. Check out the general and development forums.

The themes and apps thread too...
So the capacity is there, just not out of the box. Good to know. Wonder why Samsung made that restriction?

Multiwindow

I simply installed the multiwindow and popup apps from the note 2 onto the gs3 and it works fine.
It will even allow the video popup window.
This is on a stock sch-i535 @ 4.1.2 no root.
Cool.

prove it
video popup is already there since the release of s3. This fact certainly reduces the reliability of your post.

How's your MMS working? No roaming indicator issues? These are known issues for Verizon GS3.

I've tried multiwindow and it really doesn't look good on the GS3, the windows look too cramped.

Igloo, I must apologize, I was referring to the popup windows, not multiwindow.
You guys like the multiwindow? I find it weird on a smaller screen than the Note 2's.
I honestly think its useless

i cant really find a good time to use it. if i need to open another app, i just go and open it.
its nice but not all that useful
Moars multi window is pretty nice I tried synergy and there's is kinda glitchy but honest truth I rarely use it...I NVR rmbr that I got it lol

App Ops on Kit Kat?

So, I tried to install the permission manager app from the play store for 4.3 and it didn't work, how can we manage app permissions on 4.4?

Google have blocked access to it in 4.4 so the built-in app is no longer available.
Coming from CM10.2 I was hoping to at least be able to use this with my N5, but alas it's not so .

Wait... They removed the feature that they just added to the last version? Or they removed the old method of enabling it?

I believe they blocked the APIs used by the permissions editor which is why it crashes - but I'm struggling to find the reference I read that had this info.......
afaik they removed it completely. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47098228&postcount=2
One of the best features ever introduced to android and they remove it. Might even downgrade my N7 because of this.

I downgraded my N4 back to 4.3. Disabling app ops is terrible. Even apple has this feature: iOS alerts you if any app wants to access your contacts, or your photos, or your camera, and you have a choice to allow or not. Android 4.3 does not alert you, but at least you have the option to dig into the App Ops and revoke access to certain things. 4.4 is the first time an android upgrade dissapointed me (they destroyed the alarm app, the keyboard, the wifi indicator's activity/internet access, and App Ops).
App ops was never an official feature, so they technically didn't remove anything.

good god, why do the Googlers always have to find every disappointment thread to defend their master. Let me guess, you think the Google+ enforcement on youtube is awesome too?

So? It's still a feature they included, with easy access, and then took away even though it was nothing but effective for the users...

I'm with you on the users defending Google like the can do no wrong, but definitely disagree about the YouTube g+ integration... They needed to clean YouTube up, and now I can see friend's comments on videos more easily and only view the comments and responses of certain people... That was a good idea..
I think Google is completely wrong by blocking this app ops function, if that's what happened here...

Search for this app on PlayStore: com.findsdk.apppermission
I'm not sure its working everywhere. I have test it, on my phone its working (I9300 OMNI ROM).

Does anyone know where these preferences are stored? I'm mainly concerned with whether or not changing the options will affect an OTA update. If nothing is altered in the system files I'm sure we're good to go.
Sure do love having it again!

Flash player support is the last thing to be resolved. And those exchange / VPN bugs.

[Q] Root DRM Trick?

Hello,
I've been helping a friend with her Tab 2 p5110 (Wi-Fi model).
Late last year I rooted it and installed CyanogenMod (10.1.3 Stable).
It's much better than the bloated original rom, however one of her primary uses of the tablet was to watch TV shows from catch-up apps, now of which at least one isn't working.
It's Plus7 - that of the Seven Network in Australia.
It says something about it not being able to work on rooted or modified devices for copyright reasons.
I may not have searched enough or properly, but I was wondering if there's any way you can trick the app into believing it's using the original firmware, or has the rights restrictions it requires to work properly, on a rooted device?
I would hate to have go back to the Samslow rom...
Many thanks,
Tom
There's a module for the Xposed framework that will hide root, but I'm not sure if it'll work on the app you have. It would be worth a try.

Thanks, sounds like it's probably RootCloak.
There's also been a version released recently using the Cydia substrate.
I'll try them soon and see how it goes.

Ya, that's it. Hope it works for you. I hate app developers that feel the need to block the mod community.

Native SMS & Call Blocking

Hi! Is there any plans for Google adding up this feature on Android L? This I actually found to be useful due to annoying spam SMS and marketing calls I have been receiving.
I know there's a 3rd party app but they are causing battery drain and isn't reliable. I've used this feature on my iPhone 5S through IOS 7 though and would like to see it implemented on Android. ✌?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Pro
We don't know anything Google plans in advance unless they announce it officially. If battery drain is your concern, perhaps custom Roms are your future

Thanks for the input, I guess that's the least working option. ?

I use slimkat, and it is included in that rom. Prior to that, I was using xposed and the module called blacklist.

So far Android doesn't have it baked in. Apps like Truecaller work well and in my experience, don't drain too much juices as well!
