Is there any app better than the Multitasking Pro by OryonCorp? I am using the free version. It is quite good and I like the ability to stack Windows on top of each other rather than the Note Pro's split screens. The problem is that in this app, I have to use apps developed by this company. I prefer to be able to use more feature-rich apps that are already installed on my device. Is there an app that allows usage of existing apps installed on the device and allow the users to stack/cascade the windows partly on top of each other?

Pen window? And by rooting your device you can enable any app you want for pen window.
Thanks but I have no plan to root it for the time being.

The there is also this Floating Windows Shortcuts app which with you can make shortcuts that opens directly to pen window. I use this on both my devices, Note 3 and NP 12.2 and I think it's awesome. With launcher like Nova you can make app icon to open app on press, and open in floating window on swipe. That's how I use it.
Then there is this MP-Pen App Enabler. This app edits apk's AndroidManifest.xml from installed apps on your device and thus adds multi window / pen window features. Then removes old version and installs this modded to your device. Only thing here is you can't update those apps through play store anymore since MW-Pen App Enabler need to sign those apps again, with different signature than original apk of course.

I also got my note yesterday and am very interested in the answer
I had some success prior to rooting with MW Pen Enabler: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.xperiacle.multiwindow.enable
After rooting, you can add apps via the Wanam module for Xposed. I have to say that I am enjoying the multi-window more than I expected. The developer for MW Pen Enabler has another app that creates shortcuts for two apps to open simultaneously in multi-windows. I love being able to click once and having both the apps I want open at the same time. Here is the link for Paired Window Shortcuts: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.xperiacle.multiwindow.pair
So if you have rooted device, you can try this, if this is what you are looking for:
MULTIWINDOW Apps Manager
@xperiacle got also app to add more apps to penwindow or if you are unrooted, to make (some) installed apps to work in penwindow or multiwindow. He/She also have app I like to use, to make shortcuts that opens app directry to penwindow, and this is what I use a lot on my NP 12.2 and Note 3. When you got huge display, why to open all apps to fullscreen when you can have those shortcuts to open them to window instead.
Other His/Her apps can be found here at Google Play

Paired Multiview

"The developer for MW Pen Enabler has another app that creates shortcuts for two apps to open simultaneously in multi-windows. I love being able to click once and having both the apps I want open at the same time. Here is the link for Paired Window Shortcuts".
It is possible to do paired apps multiview without root or installing another app. At the bottom of the list of apps that are available for multiview,tap on the two small parallel horizontal lines. There you have the option to set up paired multiview apps under "create".
Hi. Is there a way to achieve running two apps (any apps, not just official ones) on split screen like Note 8.0 and Note 3? or even better, is there a way to make apps to render in floating window in the stock rom? Also I noticed in Note 3's Multiwindow on landscape mode, some apps would force the entire screen back to portrait instead of running in its block under the multiwindow landscape. This device has a big screen and I hope there's a way to do this.
If you take any non-system application and run it through MW Pen App Enabler it can process a new APK for you to install that allows for multiwindow support. It does this without the need for root.
Problem with this is that once you install one of these processed APK it is no longer linked with the play store version of the application which means that you will no longer be notified of an update to processed apps.
Just to expand on what muzzy996 is saying, the capability of what you are asking for does exist, but depends on whether or not you are rooted.
The solution muzzy996 is for non-rooted devices.
With a rooted device, you can also install the Xposed framework and the Wanam kit for TouchWiz, which will allow you to add any number of non-Samsung-approved apps to run in multiwindow. For floating windows, I use an app called Pen Window Manager that allows me to enable floating window to any app. I suppose Pen Window Manager will also enable multiwindow for non-approved apps as well.
It's the question everyone always asks so I'll be the sacrificial lamb....what apps would help the idol 3 specifically to function better? I've heard folks not happy with the default launcher are using nova launcher (prime) which also has it's own double tap to wake. Some are worried about the screen eating so much battery up...well you can try the free version of Lux which might help. I could list all my usual fav apps but I'm more looking for ones that enhance or overcome features of the idol 3. Until we can get root many of my fav's such as Titanium Backup will be mostly useless.
I'm using Nova Prime with the app Screen Off in order to get the DTTS. Works great. And of course the Google keyboard as the stock keyboard has no swipe function.
I don't mind the stock launcher, but I did install now launcher and nova prime just to try some different ones. Replaced the aosp keyboard with the google keyboard. I installed smart unlock because I liked the wifi based unlocking better than the location based unlocking that comes stock.
Easy App Switcher
Considering that I find the Recent Apps to be the aspect of the phone that has the most lag, I found an app that makes tasks switching a little more efficient ...

i use the 6045l and did not have a phone management app. was looking for a PC and phone app to backup my phone. well alcatel onetouch global site has now got one up for download, it is called "Smart Suite v 3.0.5" build date 4-17-2015 and is for the idol 3 5.5. also one for the 4.7 too. the file can be found on the global onetouch site, pull up the idol3 as if your looking to buy and review specs, under the specs heading click the plus sign to see full specs, scroll down the specs to find the smart suite app. download to pc and install, i can tell you norton security bounced this file do to it being so new not enough info on it but i forced norton to ignore and installed. this is a official alcatel app so i felt it would be safe, then after app is installed on pc plug your phone into the pc the app will install the phone portion app. i can tell you this app very much looks and operates like samsung kies app. it will check os and update or you can manage your phone files and apps for backup and restore, install new apps and use your wifi.

this one?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=es
Yep, that's it.
I just got my new note pro tablet. maybe it's from 2014 but for me it's brand new.
anyway
I got it just as a drawing/sketching ideas tool.
i wish to use the multi view option to search photos as reference material and to view it while i work in an app like sketchbook pro.
In the right side menu bar i can see the browser Icon and i can drag it into the multi view.
BUT..
I can't see sketchbook pro , just some list of apps that i have no use for. like youtube and so...
how do i add apps to the side bar. and how do i use sketchbook pro with internet browser side my side in the multi view ???
Please help .
Thanks.
Download an app called multiwindow commander using play store and then you'll be able to use any app from multiwindow. Thank you for reading, Hope it helps in case it does hit the thanks button.
Not all apps are MultiWindow enabled. To do so, you will need to root and use an enabler.
Another option would be to use Penwindow. In that case you leave the Sketchbook app in full screen, and put the gallery on top of it in a floating, resizeable, movable window. That's what I always do.
You can't use multi window for that, but you can use a pen window to do it. I think a lot of people forget about the pen window and I use it a lot with sketchbook. I just open sketch book full window and then use a pen window to view whatever you need for a reference.
If you want to enable multiple window for an application without root you can use MW-PEN App Enabler by Experiacle. This application will take the APK file of the app you are trying to enable multi window for and process it to add the needed code to it. You then reinstall the processed APK and will get multi window support for the app. The problem is when done this way the app will no longer be updated by the play store since the signature of the app changes when processed. This means if you're enabling an app that gets updated frequently and you want it updated you will need to manually uninstall it and reinstall it and reprocess it frequently.

Some issues:
Accessibility service can cause lag on some device when use Chrome, this happen to all application that use accessibility service as you can see in this thread . If the lag is too extreme please disable the Swiftly switch accessibilty service, all feature still available except the navigation (home, back).
If you return to home screen and then launch an app, it won't be launched until about 5 seconds after going home. This is beacause Android do not let any service launch apps before 5 seconds has pass from return to home screen.
Sorry
I just edit the post

I bealive it can't effect battery life enough to concern. Actually it just draw 1 (or 2) transparent rectangle on top screen then leave it alone until user swipe from it.
Thanks for your question, I just look at it after your question. Luckly I can't find Swiftly switch in my phone's battery report:
Have you try it yet, please share your thought about that

Nothing as swift as Force Touch Detector,

you force it, it register as custom action to trigger app multitask.
Will it ever work with running apps like switchr used to ?

Yes, it show list of 6 recent app and let you switch between them.
You can try it
Thank you for the good app! I noticed several features (out their absence), which hold me on Switchr instead moving to your app.
1. I could put Switchr a not higher, 1/3 from the top of my phone. Your app is possible to put only in the center. It's impossible to lift it a bit higher saving the length of a sensitive zone. That is a problem.
2. I have root and prefer to kill app from the switchr if it misbehaves. With your app I cannot.
3. In switchr I could see actively running apps and recent apps which are not longer in the memory. With your app I cannot see it.
Unlike Switchr your app is quicker, more responsive. I like it. And your idea with favorites is really great. Thank you for the good job and your hard work!

I didn't meant recent apps. On switchr it would show running apps (not recent apps) and we were able to close them too, but the developer said he couldn't do it on android versions after kitkat

The best way is to implement this opportunity and to explain users in settings under what conditions these features work (root, OS version, XPosed Unrestricted Task module).

Thanks for your feedback. I primarily make this app for non root user, as this app growing I will consider add more function for root user.
About position of the edge you can set to Right-top or Left-top in each edge setting so you can save the centre zone.

Did this app work on Lolipop and above? As I know from lolipop I can't use the same code to get recent app like befor, and that why swichr can't get recent app unless you have Xposed module UnrestictedGetTasks.
I have a nexus 6p and before that Note 4 - neither of which were rooted. So 6 and 5.1.1
With that said, it was just a launcher and didnt access recent apps. I guess you need if for that?

Yes, as I know, from lolipop, I need Usage stat to access recent apps.
My app use that permission only for that, as you can see, it doesn't ask for any internet permission.
Some bugs
Hey love the app.
But noticed a couple of bugs on my Note 4. The show notification does not bring down the notification shade. And back sometimes does not come up. It takes multiple tries it seems like I have to push my finger off the target area to get a haptic feedback and for the back command to register.
Continue the great work.
Nice! Just installed it
lollipop here, it got stuck for me and I had to restart couldnt click any app or dismiss it
Seems like a great idea for large screen phones too where its hard to use with one hand. Will give it a go on my Nexus 6P and report back!
