Multi window- what apps work without root. - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Apple user here considering switching over to the Samsung s5. When I had an s4 I remember thinking that multi window was cool but it didn't really work like I wanted until I rooted and installed xpose framework.
If I by another I want to stay stock- is there a list of what apps work with the stock multi window feature? Typically I like to have the directv app and maybe waze or maps at the same time.

I dont have experience with the s4 but as far as the s5 it is not limited to what apps you can use not rooted

I am currently on stock NI5 and these are the apps is letting me use with multi window

Thanks- I think that list can be added to if I'm not mistaken.

Anyone actually use the DirecTv app? Try it and the google maps for me. [emoji6]

Missing S Planner APK

Well, the title sorta describes it all. I'm missing the S Planner APK after installing a new ROM.
I think the S Planners actually really good and would like it back, because I use it quite a bit.
Sadly, I can't find it anywhere on the internet. Would anyone be kind enough to upload for me their APK file for it?
Please and thank you.
I think this is what you are looking for...
Thanks for that. Unfortunately it refuses to install. At first it was a conflict with the google calander, and now it just refuses to. I'll probably try and find a way to push it, or manually move it in.

Have you tried to remove google calendar or "force stop", then install?
Do you use Titanium backup? I can prob pull the export back up files and you could try that way?

Yeah I uninstalled it with Root Uninstaller. I don't use titanium backup. I've tried using an adb terminal but they don't seem to work the way they should, and I can't find the one I used before haha.

No, actually. It doesn't. That never occurred to me, and explains a lot. It's a heavily deoxed stock ROM. But I use X-Note Zero Edition. I'll just find the touchwiz launcher from somewhere and use that.
I am not 100 percent sure but the launcher is part of the whole Samsung experience and hooked into the OS though more than just the launcher.

Well, I know that you can't use any of the S Widgets on launchers other than the Touchwiz one - even if TW is installed. The dev of the ROM said that the framework hasn't been touched, and that he only removed all the bloat and themed the ROM. So, it could be that Touchwiz is a prerequisite for the S-Apps. Although, S-Note still works fine.
If you have s note then you should be able to get s planner

Will Google features work with another launcher?

Thinking of installing Nova launcher when my phone ships, but was wondering if features like "OK Google.." and searching online for numbers within the phone app would still work?
Also, has anyone with a Nexus 5 found a way to hide apps in the app drawer you don't want there, or at least make a folder? I really want to use the stock launcher, and it baffles me Google leaves out basic functionality to sort and organize your apps... if anyone found a way please let me know, or if root can fix this somehow. Thanks.
You'd have to wait for Kevin to put similar features if he decides to assuming he can mimic the new launcher. I think the new launcher is closed source.. maybe we'll get a kernel soon with always listening

For hiding the apps part if you want to hide one of the stock apps you can simply disable it in the settings? (Settings > apps)

ok google everywhere

I found this tutorial and decided to make a video of it for you.It would work only with snapdragon 800 devices running Kitkat 4.4+ and rooted.This won't work otherwise at the moment.Make sure you update to the latest play services and Google search apps.

I'm on ls980 works great! Thanks! I've been waiting so long for this feature!
Works fine with T-mobile 801
German language?
Anyone get this working on cloudyfa's G3 port? I've tried installing the updated Google play services (5.0.88) but it won't install. I was able to get it to work on Mahdi's 6/28 ROM with no problem.
Word of warning this broke alarms for me. Just made them silently dismiss themselves.

Why can't I find these options?
I downloaded the apk files and ran UTG but I don't have the option to force close google search. It just shows me app info. What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: I finally got it to force close. had to go to Apps/All/Goggle and force close that way if anyone runs into the same issue.
Seems like this would create a wake lock and cause battery drain

works well for me on Eng Lang.
Has anyone tried this on the ATT version?
I did everything you said but when I get here to say "OK Google 3 times it wont listen to the first one.
With it force activated via language change etc, the camera will not record video, saying 'unable to record video while in call'. Untick the option for every screen listening and the camera is able to record once again.
So seems like it always listening makes the camera think it is permanently in a phone call. Annoying.
Sorry if it's mentioned already.
Make sure to disable LG "On Screen Phone" if you use it That's what stopped it working on my G2 (International)
Works perfectly on vs980 running cloudyfa g3 rom. Thank you!

This actually broke my alarm too. It seems it breaks the alarm while screen off. The alarm will however go off, if the screen is on....wtf? Any ideas?
installed this on my Flex. now when i want to record a video it says cant record cause something else is using my audio.

How can I make it faster?

I have been using this awesome phone for a month already, honestly, the best note ever, anyways. I'm trying to see how can i disabled some apps and improve memory ram, can't find a way, any guide around? Thanks!

Not much to disable without rooting. I usually turn animations and such to .5 in developer menu as well as use Google now launcher or nova. I do install the Google app alternatives from the play store. Those usual have less features but are smoother. I also use chrome and install the chrome Samsung library. It seems to help a bit.
An app called package disabler pro lets you disable any app without root...great app but be careful what apps you disable.
Any suggestions on what to uninstall to make the note 5 run fast as hell using root titanium backup or any uninstaller ???
Search bar is always helpful but I'm feeling helpful tonight here you go man! Enjoy! Nice usefully note 5 Debloat guide for root and non root users! Enjoy [emoji14]

If you're running xposed the module "FingerLock" works nicely.
MaxLock is the best.

Hi.
I'm looking for an app which allows me to choose some pictures from gallery and hide it, unlock should be by fingerprint.
Any ideas? Which one is the best?

The built-in Private Mode (Settings / Privacy and safety) should do this for you.

You can do this by Samsung´s "Private-Mode".
I think finger security is the only one if you're not rooted and obviously private mode to hide pictures and a few other things

If we had proper development on our beloved S7 edge we could have App Lock which is a native Samsung app wich is build in and just has to be activated via CSC tweaks etc. after that we could App Lock with fingerprint. And wouldn't any third party app or xposed module for that.

Sorry but I won't be rooting this beast at least for one and a half years. That's me though.

Proper applock is included in my rom "KryxxOS", but as others have said it is something that needs to be pushed to the system and have some csc modifications done.

Much prefer to use the built in App Lock personally. Native always works best. Don't flash the file in the link, it is simply there to show you what I am talking about.
