I pressed something and now google chrome opens as a window on my one plus one running the pac man rom. How do I get chrome to run full screen again?
The new update changed. So when you open a new tab it opens as a new activity. So you will see it in recent menu.
It's a bug in version 39. It has already been reported in Chrome Beta, now they rolled it out to everyone:

I'm using Facebook for Android both on my phone and tablet.
Some time ago I applied for beta testers for Facebook Android app, and soon new version of Facebook app was out, with main difference that instead of three buttons in top bar there were now four, the left bar disappeared, and option to choose between top stories and most recent stories was gone. Also if I scrolled through news feed, and chose an external link, upon going back to Facebook, the app threw me at the top of the news feed.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, and saying that I wasn't pleased is an understatement.
So I got out of beta testers, uninstalled the app and via google play, I installed the standard app. The old layout and options were back UNTIL I turned off the app for a few hours. As soon as I opened it again, the new layout was back. Does ANYBODY have any idea why this happens? My girlfriend has the same app on SG4, with a screensize larger than on my phone, and with regular updates, she has the old layout from the begining?
Interestingly, if I force stop the app in app manager, the old layout returns, but only for a short time because if I leave the app, and open it again in a hour or so, the new layout returns.
Any help would be appreaciated. I would REALLY like the old layout back

Wassup y'all,
So I've been enjoying my mega tablet, but I was wondering if you could help me figure somehting out. When I originally got my tablet rooted, before twrp was available, somehow I had set multi window apps to open in a second window automatically. For example, clicking on a play store link in chrome (while chrome was full screen) would open google play in split screen with chrome.
I have no idea how I set it to do this. I had messed with "multiwindow apps manager", and some xposed stuff (but don't remember what exactly).
Can anybody help me figure out how to get this feature back?

Hi,
because i'm "not permitted to post to development-related forums" i cant ask in the right thread:
At first: many thanks @all developer - this is a great ROM!
Im using LiquidSmooth 3.1 OFFIZIAL with ASOP Recent Apps. Within the first use Recent Apps after swiping to left, the switcher asked to enable "Floating Windows". I pushed yes and i worked. But i dont know for what this floating mode is useful. So i want to disable this floating mode with swiping to left and want to restore the default behavior (close app).
How do i disable this floating mode (swiping to left)? I cant find any associated setting in menu.
Regards

Thank you for your fast answer, but exactly this setting doesnt exist in my ROM (drdevs.com/devs/teamliquid/Official/3.1/)...
Almost same problem here (Note 2 @ Liquidsmooth).
Chrome beta started to open in the floating window and the page display is dimmed, making web browsing a horrible experience. The difference is that it opens as window ALWAYS, and not only when triggered by swiping on recents.
After spending ca 3 hours looking for the way to change it I realized that such a bug (even if the option is really hidden somewhere) combined with ART issues (rebuilding cache every reboot, a well known bug of dex2oat) plus updates released only as a full dumps (reverting all modifications to /system performed on my own) absolutely DISQUALIFIES the rom whene there are so many others around.
It's far away from my conception of flexibility.
All Links Open browser in floating window
I am having the same problem. All links in Google search open the browser in a new window.

Got almost the same issue. I never use floating mode, and today, chrome decided to make its appearance in float mode only.. very annoying as you can't pink to zoom without resizing the window.
I couldn't find out how to disable that, i tried unsinstalling.. but nothing seems to help.
By the way, I am using C-Rom v7.1 on Galaxy S3 i9300.
Looks like it is time to change the ROM

Same issue here since last Chrome update, running LiquidSmooth (latest LS-KK-MileStone-3.2) on Z1C.
Chrome opening in floating window
Same issue here. LS-KK-3.2 2013-10-29 on gt-i9300
It's a Chrome issue, not ROM. I have the same problem.
What you currently can do is hold the home button for 2 sec, then choose chrome again, it will switch to full window mode
Im also waiting for the bug fixed in chrome
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54019293&postcount=585

its crome issues its not rom issue. So please press home button for 2 second and then select crome browser you will get full brwoser instead of floating.
Not sure if this helps but I'm bored and like to see activity on our forum. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...ting-window-bug-on-certain-roms-apk-download/
just wanted to tell that chrome beta fixes this issue and it works fine for me.
as also written on chuckies link i just see
fyi, the recent chrome update also fixes this issue now
We all know the Nexus Player has a Chrome browser integrated in its firmware as it is used for some settings, google cast support, etc. However, it seems the browser can be somewhat user accessed and has a bit more capabilities than I expected, such as a desktop mode, mostly baked remote control support, ability to directly access web, image, map, etc search and so on. The interface for the browser seems close to having full remote control support. Amyone can sideload the actual Chrome from the Play store, however that one doesn't have a leanback interface like the built in one yet.
Here's how to find it:
Select settings at the bottom of the main menu
Select "About" from the first row
Scroll down and select "Ads"
Scroll down and select "Ads by Google"
Scroll down to "Ads Settings" link and select it
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select "Desktop View"
Now you can select from the top bar with your remote any of the quick links for Google services, such as "Search". Once you do so, you're brought to the standard Google search page... clicking in the search field brings up the standard software keyboard (or use your sync'd phone, otg keyboard, etc). The results are displayed in normal "Mobile" view as on a phone, but you can scroll to the bottom of that page and choose to view the results in "Classic" desktop mode which is preferable.
Once you visit a site you can scroll through it with your remote as well, however navigating and clicking links seems to be hit or miss depending on the site. Also, hitting "back" currently takes you back to the settings menu instead of the previous page. I'm sure there are other quirks as well.
The point of this is: it'd seem to be trivial for an enterprising developer to wrap the existing functionality in an app and expose this near complete built-in remote ready chrome browser for easy leanback web browsing on the NP. Or, of course, the obvious route of Google exposing this web browser to leanback itself. Interesting.
This is cool to know. Love or hate the old google tv boxes (the ones with honeycomb) that is one feature they had done really well was they had a really awesome version of chrome browser that was very similar to the pc version out at the time. Still one that is made to work with the NP is good too.
I was able to install Chrome Beta from the Play store, and after getting past the "I Agree" screen it works perfectly. I'm using a BlueTooth KB/Mouse.
I'm using ChainFire's Launcher to start it, as the Icon doesn't populate on the home screen.
Tried this but can't get beyond "Ads by Google". When I select this I get a black bar down the center of the screen (1/3 the screen) and it flashes some information but then goes back to black.

I may be seeing the "I Agree" screen but it disappears pretty quickly.

Same happens with me. I read in another post Chrome will work (non-beta) but launched through the Chainfire sideload launcher. Also read Nova launcher works. Will test this weekend and update.
Strange. I still have no problem getting in to the built-in browser doing what I wrote above as long as Chrome from the play store isn't installed. If you instal Chrome from the play store, it supplants the built-in browser and the procedure above doesn't work anymore.
I also have Chrome from the play store installed... it works ok, but not as well as the (near hidden so useless) built in browser when it comes to the remote control support - with keyboard and mouse Chrome from the play store works perfect. I also don't like the Chrome from the play store defaults to its "mobile" UI in search, etc.
Hopefully Google will surface the built-in soon and provide an easy link in the main leanback interface.
I thought I got rid of the Chrome browser I had downloaded as a test but I hadn't. Once I did, the built-in now works except it does not fit the screen correctly (menu items at top only display half).

Your TV is probably not in "just fit" kind of mode... it's probably over scanning or set to 16:9, etc. If you can change the aspect ratio through your TV settings that'll probably fix the issue. Most media content is designed for overscanning so won't be an issue, but things like web browsers, PC screens, etc are not.
I was able to get the built in chrome by just installing google search from the playstore..

I use chrome a hell of alot for browser but noticed if I click out to use another app I cannot switch between using the square recent apps button and when I get on to the menu chrome is never there.
Anyone else notice this running stock 8.0
