Is there a way to stop my screen from rotating when opening the keyboard for some apps like market and what not.
I've tried DroidSans Tweak Tools and Lite works but doesnt have that option and Full force closes.
Any other apps or ideas?

I wish! I don't know of any tools to turn the rotating off for specific apps, but of course there is the main option in Settings-> Sounds and display. I wish that someone would make some kind of setting for this purpose because I know that there are always some apps I want it to rotate, and some that I don't.
Sadly I think it would need to be implemented into each app, such as Handcent, there is an option to turn on and off the auto rotate, so I believe it would need to be app by app rather than something to correct settings in batches.
have you tried QuickSettings app? its free and has small toggle to disable autoorientation , and it works for me. You can find it on market. Give it a try!
What happens when you play a game that is supposed to run in landscape but you force it to run in portrait mode???

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?

Thanks for the help! I feel real intelligent
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.
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.

Android 10 Launcher for Android 9.0+
Google has made an interesting change on Pie release: moving the recents app screen, along with the (was new) swipe up gesture to the stock launcher. Following that change, the Lawnchair team has released the QuickSwitch Magisk Module which allows you to change the "stock" launcher to a supported one that you prefer.
So let's get to the point. A week ago Google has released Android 10 along with its new, improved gesture navigation. It's much better than the gestures on Android Pie. Today, I'm happy to announce that you can get the new gesture navigation on Android Pie too with this port and the QuickSwitch Magisk Module.
Features
Video preview
- Clean stock Launcher3 base
- Android Q gesture navigation
- Swipe down for notification drawer
- Dark theme
- Google Feed (dark theme now included), YAY!
- Simple icon packs support (no dynamic icons/icon masking)
Installation
1. Install the QuickSwitch Magisk Module
2. Download and install the Launcher APK
3. Open the QuickSwitch app, select the launcher and reboot
4. Set it as the default launcher
5. Open home settings, select "Developer options" and then enable gestures in there
Download
Unified build
- View attachment Q_Launcher3-v1.3-debug.apk
- View attachment Q_Launcher3-v1.2-debug.apk
For Android Pie
- View attachment Q_Launcher3-Pie-v1.1-debug.apk
- View attachment Q_Launcher3-Pie-debug.apk
For Android 10
- View attachment Q_Launcher3-10-v1.1-debug.apk
- View attachment Q_Launcher3-10-debug.apk
Notes:
- This launcher requires the QuickSwitch Magisk Module to function properly. It should work as a normal launcher alone but that's untested.
- Unfortunately, the back gesture is a part os SystemUI and can't be achieved in this port, but you can use apps such as Fluid NG to replicate it.

Please press thanks if you like this.
Thank you, really nice!
It's not working for me. I've done all the steps. The name of the launcher linked here is "Quickstep" in my default apps settings. And choosing that makes it so I can't even close any app, it just reopens the app immediately. (like there is no home screen).
And I guess you don't mean the lawnchair settings? I thought that at first but there is no gestures option in the developer settings in lawnchair (latest beta).
Working great in Havoc 2.8 This should be your new grand project. I'm using lawnchair 2 and that's awesome.
Works flawlessly on my Xperia Z3 Carbon 7.0 Pie.
It would be nice with a dark background option.
Nice work, mate.
Would be great if you add this in lawnchair

In addition to being selected in QuickSwitch, this launcher needs to be set as the default home app as well for the gestures to work.

That’s being worked on. Will come later in a few months.
Is quickswitch currently working on stock Android 10 rooted? And would following the steps and installing your debug launcher for Q still allow new Android 10 gestures to work?

Although untested, it should work as this launcher is the same one that stock Android 10 provides with only a few changes. Just make sure you download the one for Android 10 and it should be fine.

Awesome, there is no need to uninstall the original pixel launcher correct? And also great work!! You have done fantastic work over the years, the modded community wouldn't be the same without you!

Does the Pixel launcher from Android 10 come with new gesture animations, and are you planning to port it?
Also, for the people who have been using this launcher, what is your method of replicating Android 10's Navigation bar? I've tried Fluid NG and the Home button doesn't seem to work when Navigation bar is hidden. I'm on Xperia X running Lineage OS 16 (9.0).

Yeah, as I said, when I choose it as my launcher, it doesn't work at all. The phone behaves like there's no homescreen. When I try to exit settings, or any app at all, it just reopens that app immediately. It closes the app, shows an empty wallpaper and then opens the app within 1/10 of a second.
The download link says error 410

try download with pc instead
No dark theme ?
I got the boot script failed error in on QuickSwitch Android 10
This is so good. The animations are smooth and work as intended.
I'd be great if google now page can be added to the left.
And also, the bottom google search bar is also missing. Hope that gets added too!
Overall first impressions, a fantastic port!!
Can this work on unrooted device

Unrooted devices have no means to change Android's quickstep provider, which means you are stuck with default recents provider and navigation gestures.
Which, you know, defeats the purpose.
When I try to select is as the quickstep provider on OOS OB1 Q then I get an error message "Error: Boot script failled"
