Since the last update of emui the screenplay for multi window changed.
From only two apps it is now possible to start more but there is no chance to minimize the size of the running apps.
This sucks.somebody other experiences with the feature?
Really liked it to start to apps the same size.

Hi all,
Rooted Note 2 with Omega ROM.
Tell me off for not remembering how I did it but I've got all apps available to choose from for Multi Window. My problem is the apps keep changing. I put say 5 apps in the bar on the side of the screen and save then, the next time I open Multi Window the apps have changed.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks in advance!
Recently my girlfriend got me new note 8.0 as she said my old tab was sluggish. As a first time Note user shifting from tab 7.7, I found that there are few things that I couldn't find in my note 8.0 like:
1. No quick app task bar - I quite used to open calculator from the task bar and it would come out as a floating pop up window, I could easily drag the window anywhere and closed it once I was done with it.
2. Cascade view multiwindow - As I was using note 8.0 erobot ROM with multiwindow MOD
Is there any shortcut or anything that I can change somewhere? I have tried to look around but still can't find it.
Thank you.

i'm actually the user that ported the multiwindow mod to the 7.7 originally...if u want the same exact experience u had on the P6800 the u can use my mod in the link below BUT unfortunately it only works on 4.1.2 so u would need to downgrade if you're on 4.2.2. If its ONLY cascade mode that u want then its possible to mod the flashbar (left side quick app task bar/multiwindow launcher) to have the dual/cascade mode buttons u are used to seeing in the minimode panel/nav bar...since the left launcher is the default multiwindow mode for the note 8 then i assume that what u want is the bottom quick apps task bar/minimode tray launcher that u have been using on the 7.7 which means u should follow the link below

For the floating calculator? I use pie launcher and aircalc. I swipe from the left to bring out the pie and slide to air calc. Pretty fast too for like 20 of my favorite apps (including floating stickies and evernote and the floating voice recorder). I also use overlay launcher set as a launch point just at the level of the volume rocker so it's different from the lauch area of pie launcher, Use it for specialty apps like tasker and shortcuts to "activities".Then for swiping from the right I use swapps for an alphabetized quick launch bar. Most 1 gig ram tabs and phones find this hard to handle but the note 8 breezes through.
Multiwindow cascade? I'm planning to do that too but still enjoying stock for now...want to wait it out for that new magazine UX that's replaced touchwiz UX on samsung tablets. I hope it makes it to the note 8 during the next update...

Yes, I am actually using your multiwindow mod and like it very much on my tab 7.7. About the tray launcher, Is it possible to make it hidden for note 8.0? Is it compatible with N5120? I feel that the good thing about note 8.0 screen, it isn't block by the task bar like at tab 7.7. I'm still learning to use Note 8.0, but sometimes I miss some part of tab 7.7 that I am already getting used to it. Thanks! :good:

I just downloaded aircalc and tried to use it for my note, but I feel the ads was so annoying, I previously used realcalc and like it so much, thanks for your suggestion :good:
When I use apps in pen window mode, I get a weird bug. Refer screen shots.
Doesn't happen with stock pen window apps, just with the ones I added using pen window manager.
I tried this is Xkat and MagazineUX rom. Both have this bug.
Didn't happen to me on 4.3, kitkat is a downgrade when it comes to multi window /pen window support
I frequently use the Galaxy S6's Pop-up View feature to use multiple apps at once. However, although I know how to resize the windows, they don't seem to be able to get small enough for my liking.
I'd like to be able to resize the Pop-up View apps to about a quarter of the screen or a bit smaller, effectively giving me the ability to float as many as four apps on the screen without overlap. However, the current settings will stop resizing the window at a minimum size of about 55-60% of the screen, effectively meaning it is impossible to even have two floating apps without any overlap.
Is there any way to force the Pop-up View feature to allow floating apps to resize smaller than the current minimum? Also, is it possible to force "unsupported" apps into a floating window like you could with the Note 3's Pen Window feature?
I am currently using the stock odexed 5.0.2 rom with root.
On a related note, does the S6 handle DPI changes ok in system apps, or will they crash or display incorrectly as they did on the Note 3? (Maybe a DPI change can allow Pop-up View to display smaller?)
No quick way that I've found to make popup window smaller than stock. I've tried putting in quad view XML files from A Galaxy S4 mod with no luck. If I remember, I did not replace the multiwindow.jar along with it. I think it needed A way to actually launch them in A quad view. I could probably be done though with knowledge on jar files.
For allowing all apps in miltiwindow/popup view, there is
1. (my preferred method) Multiwindow Commander [Root] on the play store (paid). Shows notification for enabling newly installed apps in multiwindow.
2. MW-Pen app Enabler (play store, free/paid)
3. Xposed and wanam xposed Lollipop.
Changing the DPI effects the Camera app pretty badly I remember, but looks very nice on this screen.
I don't know if A workaround like Xposed App Settings works for the camera dpi.
Found some Developer Options settings for "freeform" windows but so far I've only got an app in a floating window but as soon as I try to get another app running on the main screen that floating window closes.
Got a tip from someone else that if I open two different apps in sequence and set them each to freeform, then when I open them both from the home screen they will open up in freeform, so somehow the functionality is there but obviously not working conveniently.
I had OxygenOS on Android 13 before. It has an awesome feature: true floating window that you can run an app in, and then run whatever apps you want full screen under that. What needs to be fixed in LOS 20 have such capability?
I looked through the LOS github for "free-form" but didn't come up with what I thought was significant.
